Chapter 376: The Early Onset of the Virus
Mo Jue slowly stood up and his slender figure, as though dipped in a shade of night, created an oppressive presence. The already cold room felt even colder and was filled with danger. The room was filled with danger and a tense yet acute oppressing feeling that seemingly dismembered everyone in it piece by piece.
As Ye Wei’s smile became even more attractive, the depths of her heart were instead filled with a terrifying murderous intent along with an indescribable coldness and anger. There was also a hidden yet mixed determination that, with her smile, gave people the feeling she was like an opium poppy on the edge of a cliff.
She was beautiful yet extremely dangerous.
The two of them faced each other off, and nobody said anything. It seemed as though they were comparing whose presence was stronger. As their looks, both beautiful and dangerous, met intensely, sparks flew.
This feeling was too familiar.
It was like the moment they met in the sewer. Both of them were sinister, ruthless, and ready to send the other person to kingdom come.
‘Mo Jue, you sure want to kill me, no?’
They were of the same kind. Since she had a desire to kill Mo Jue, she clearly understood that Mo Jue had no reason to keep her alive.
“Where’s this place?” Mo Jue asked word by word. His memory halted at the island when Ye Wei smashed the bottle of rum on his head. As far as the past seven days were concerned, he had nary a single memory of them.
He could not recall what happened when he was Marshmallow.
However, based on his keen observation and shocking deduction, he knew that Ye Wei was out of danger thanks to his help. Even if Eleven was fully capable on that island, the two of them would never be able to escape the island.
He knew that he would completely obey the person whom he saw once he had a drink. That explained why Mo Ye never allowed him to drink. He rarely became an idiot since birth. The third time was when Big Boss Mo felt that he was so cute and thus allowed him to drink. There was also once when the two of them got into trouble, and Big Boss Mo had him drink and then act like a spoilt brat in front of their master.
This was the sixth time.
Mo Jue knew Ye Wei’s character, and she would definitely fully exploit him for his worth. His big brother would, for want of protecting him, spare Ye Wei and Eleven for the moment.
“Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.” Ye Wei smiled alluringly and laughed brightly. “Dear Gorgeous Mo Jue, you can’t remember a single thing?”
This was for certain, and even if he did not reveal anything, this statement would flush out any discrepancies. He couldn’t remember anything.
Ye Wei was both sad and angry.
Although she felt that she bullied Mo Jue more than otherwise, she had treated him exceptionally well in the past seven days, from hugging him to kissing him anytime she wanted save the sex. She was rarely this sweet and gentle. And how could he not remember a single thing?!
Ye Wei was nowhere calm and Mo Jue coldly replied, “There’s no need to!”
“No need to?” Ye Wei raised her eyebrows. Did she hear him correctly? The smile on the woman’s face became colder and a raging fire was held back by it.
Mo Jue coldly looked at her and said, “I do not need those memories.”
Ye Wei’s gaze turned cold and the fire burning in her eyes burned even brighter. She laughed and said, “Yes, you do not need it anymore. You had a dream and woke up without feeling anything for it. To me, this is not even a dream and I naturally do not need to remember anything.”
Mo Jue’s gaze sunk as the curtains fluttered. A murderous intent filled the room.
The atmosphere was as tense as an extremely taut string.
Suddenly, Mo Jue moved and quickly leaped in front of Ye Wei, opening his hands as he went for Ye Wei’s throat. He was so quick, like a gust of wind, that Ye Wei backed away. She pushed her right foot against the floor and lifted herself up into a flip and landed behind Mo Jue. As she landed behind Mo Jue, she kicked at Mo Jue’s spine. Mo Jue was able to identify her direction based on how the wind and did not turn around. He grabbed her ankle with a reverse-grip and viciously smashed Ye Wei into the wall like how the eagle threw the chick against the ground.
Damn it, he was really mean!
Ye Wei flipped in midair but Mo Jue gave her no breathing space. His punch hit home and Ye Wei propped herself on the wall and kicked against the wall as she climbed up and avoided Mo Jue’s attack. She reached out to grab the steel bars of the crystal lamp and deftly turned around to kick at Mo Jue and force him to back off.
Ye Wei used the opportunity to land on the floor and kicked the wooden chair in the room at Mo Jue whilst she went up and did not give him any wriggle room. Lo and behold, Mo Jue punched the chair and the huge forces from both sides crushed the chair.
Fragments of the chair were scattered throughout.
As Mo Jue and Ye Wei’s fists met, Ye Wei felt her hand go numb that instant as a searing pain shot up the crook between her thumb and index finger. She grabbed upward from the qi point on Mo Jue’s hands and reverse-gripped him in a bid to trap him. Mo Jue, however, easily turned around and embraced her tightly.
“You can’t beat me,” Mo Jue flatly replied. He coldly said the truth.
Ye Wei felt a warm and familiar breath pour on her neck. She had lived with that scent for the past seven days, and Ye Wei gently smiled and said, “Let’s see who’s more vicious.”
When she finished speaking, she pushed her elbow back and Mo Jue stopped her with his hand. She suddenly felt a sharp pain in her other wrist. Ye Wei yanked her hand and turned around to kick him in his head.
Mo Jue, who was caught off guard, was kicked and his body fell hard toward the wall. Beauty Ye gently kicked the chair off the ground and she viciously smashed the chair at Mo Jue. Mo Jue protected his head with both his hands when the chair smashed against his arms. The chair simply gave way!
Only a leg of the chair remained.
His skin was like hide!
“F***! Beautiful Su, how dare you buy knockoffs despite your wealth!” This chair was simply not up to taking punishment and it definitely had to be a knockoff. Ye Wei smashed the wooden stick in her hands and viciously landed punches on Mo Jue’s face.
Before she could land her third punch, Mo Jue grabbed her wrists and pulled her forward. They exchanged positions and Ye Wei was pinned against the wall by Mo Jue as he viciously pummeled her. Her chest and abdomen took four to five punches.
“You want to play rough?” Mo Jue flatly replied and ignored Ye Wei coughing blood from his punches. He landed another punch on Ye Wei’s abdomen and she coughed out blood. Her face became instantly pale and she felt that her organs had shifted, burning in pain.
The pain was searing…
Compared to the previous fight in the sewers, Mo Jue was much quicker and more forceful this time. He proved, with his actions, that he was much more vicious and warned against people screwing about with him.
As Ye Wei wiped away the traces of blood around the corners of her lips, she became a rose that seemingly lost its luster, yet determinedly showed her beauty and doggedly radiated her charm. Even if she would wilt, she wanted to wilt in pride.
“Why aren’t you hitting me anymore?” Beauty Ye said as she gorgeously laughed. She raised her hand and swiped it at Mo Jue viciously. Mo Jue ducked and avoided it. Ye Wei immediately followed up with her other hand and slapped said hand, which was bloodied, on Mo Jue’s face.
Mo Jue’s gaze sank and Ye Wei gently smiled. “This fist, this slap is for everything between us these seven days. We are now quits.”
He was slightly lost and Ye Wei smiled gorgeously. It was in this moment of the battle that Mo Jue then realized that Ye Wei’s palm was at the front of her chest and she viciously pushed against his chest. Mo Jue stumbled several steps back.
Blood trickled out from the corners of his lips and he looked up coldly. Ye Wei’s palm came upon him once again and she landed several blows on his chest. Intent to kill him there and then, she did not hold back herself.
She was exceptionally vicious.
Although she was smiling, her smile was a suffocating and dangerous one.
“Ye Wei!” Mo Jue roared out. He was a person of few words. Now, he was clearly enraged as he scooted up and got into a vicious tangle with her.
This was a very clumsy way of fighting, and it seemed that both of them forgot that they were expert martial artists. Like fighting on the streets, they were merely attacking each other and trading blows without defending against the other person’s blows.
Like beasts, they roared as they fought. Furniture in the house broke and scattered. Like the aftermath of an earthquake, nothing remained intact.
Both of them were also not in good shape. They had bruises and injuries all over their bodies that were excruciating to see at least. Ye Wei, who looked like a bloodied doll, fitted the description to a T. Although Ye Wei seemed wounded, she did not show her weakness as she kept up her tenacity to keep on fighting with Mo Jue.
These actions jolted Bai Ye, Su Man, and Eleven, along with Third Young Master Ye, Cheng Anya, and the young kid who had just returned.
When they reached, Ye Wei was sitting on Mo Jue while punching him. The ferocity she punched Mo Jue with sent shivers throughout Bai Ye and Third Young Master Ye. Mo Jue suddenly landed a kick on her abdomen and Ye Wei fell back. As she was about to fall onto a shard of glass, Eleven was about to reach forward to grab her when Mo Jue, who was quicker than her, pulled her hand and both Mo Jue and Ye Wei stood up from the ground. Once they stood still, they punched each other at the same time and their punches collided with each other. Their violent punches caused each other to back off.
As Eleven went up to support her waist, Ye Wei struggled to stand up. Both of them, looking hideous, panted.
As Mo Jue’s wonderful-looking face was walloped beyond recognition, Ye Wei was no better off.
Everybody saw Mo Jue’s gaze and knew that he was back to his original self.
They were indeed heaven and earth.
“What an intense fight,” Bai Ye said calmly. When Bai Ye first saw Ye Wei being walloped into this state, he was of the opinion that it was an absolute miracle. Although he merely had the intention to watch the spectacle, his fists were clenched and ready to fight.
Like a rose tainted with blood, Ye Wei smiled alluringly and said, “Dear Gorgeous Mo Jue, you want a group fight?”
Mo Jue coldly harrumphed and said, “Why don’t you try it?”
“Dear Brother Marshmallow—no, Mo Jue, you sure sound crazily arrogant. Even if you do not factor in Wei Wei, myself, and Eleven, you are not going to walk out of this garden.” Bai Ye coldly smiled. “As long as Wei Wei does not mind.”
Eleven coldly harrumphed and said, “He is going nowhere.”
If he dared to wallop Wei Wei into this shape, he’d better not think of leaving.
Cheng Anya suddenly suggested. “Ah Chen, why don’t you go fight with him? Even if you do not win against him, he still dies.”
The virus would make for a wonderful weapon.
Bai Ye gave a thumbs-up and said, “Good idea.”
Third Young Master Ye, however, looked at Ye Wei.
Suddenly, a tear-gas shell shattered the window and flew into the room. As glass broke, white smoke arose and everybody backed out of the room and closed the door. When they entered the room, there was nobody else in the room.
“Big Boss Mo was here,” the young kid said. Since Mo Jue was gone, chasing him would be futile.
Eleven frowned and Ye Wei suddenly clenched her abdomen and vomited blood. She collapsed in Eleven’s embrace.
“Wei Wei!” Third Young Master Ye and Cheng Anya came forth in panic but did not dare to touch her. Their hearts were nervous. Third Young Master Ye looked at Bai Ye and said, “Bai Ye…”
“Go to my room first,” Eleven said. Bai Ye carried her to Eleven’s room.
Third Young Master Ye was worried and wanted to follow them, but the young kid entered Ye Wei’s room instead. As Third Young Master Ye and Cheng Anya were afraid their son would be in danger, they could only stay back. The young kid avoided the splintered wood on the floor and leaped onto the bed.
“Ning Ning, what are you doing?” Third Young Master Ye flatly asked and looked over in curiosity.
Everybody looked at the computer screen.
Mo Jue: Drink wine?
Big Boss Mo: Once you’re done drinking, your wife will love you even more.
Mo Jue: Does such a thing even happen?
Big Boss Mo: Be good and trust your brother.
Third Young Master Ye’s eyes twitched and Miss Cheng remained helplessly silent. Was this the legendary ‘abduction’?
“F***, Big Boss Mo sure is talented enough to recall Mo Jue like this!” This was a blatant abduction.
This was a battle between the big bad wolf and the rabbit.
It was clear that the rabbit had lost.
“Big Boss Mo is undoubtedly Big Boss Mo.” The young kid stroked his chin and quickly tapped several buttons on the keyboard. The screen almost seemed to give way as a series of English words rolled across the screen quickly.
The line of words stopped at a point.
“Daddy, do you remember seeing a car when we stopped outside?” the young kid suddenly asked.
Third Young Master Ye nodded.
“Big Boss Mo was there.”
As Third Young Master Ye was about to say something, he suddenly felt a stabbing pain in his arm, then a repeating stabbing pain in his liver as though many silver needles stabbed at his liver. His limbs started to ache immensely. He trembled and collapsed onto the bed in a painful spasm.
“Ah Chen…”
“Daddy…”
“Quickly call Su Man,” Cheng Anya said urgently. The young kid jumped down and ran out.
“Ah Chen, hang in there. You will be okay.” Cheng Anya did not know whether she was telling him or herself that. The uneasiness in her heart rose. She had this fear that she was about to lose him.
As her hands trembled in fear, Cheng Anya’s face turned pale.
Didn’t Su Man say that the onset of the virus was tomorrow?
It was brought forward?
“Ahh…” Third Young Master Ye suddenly screamed in pain. The veins in his forehead throbbed while his intricate features became contorted as he endured an inhuman pain. As his threshold passed… he collapsed into a coma.
