Chapter 469: Untitled

Mo Jue changed out of his clothes in another room before returning to the room. Ye Wei was watching a Hollywood blockbuster. Although she was watching a gun battle, she was eating an apple and chuckling.
“Gorgeous Mo Jue, you are back! Come watch this! These directors must have been feasting on testosterone. Look at how unrealistic these scenes are!” Ye Wei happily beckoned Mo Jue to watch with her.
Mo Jue was thinking about how to tell her how they were about to leave the island tomorrow, and he was not in the mood to see what she was watching. He only heard a tenor bellow before a series of gunfire and explosions followed. He took a glance at the screen, and it was nothing short of unrealistic—a person who could avoid being shot by a well-aimed PSG-1 sniper rifle was nothing short of unrealistic.
“How lame.”
“It’s funny!” Ye Wei laughed as she bit on the apple. While almost all died at the end of the film, she laughed despite the sad ending of the blockbuster. “What looks awesome to outsiders is a laughingstock for us in the know.”
She suddenly paused and bit the apple halfway. She paused the movie and scooted up to Mo Jue. “Gorgeous Mo Jue, where did you go?” She was a little doubtful.
“I went out to talk business with my brother.”
“And end up with the stench of blood after talking business with your elder brother?” Ye Wei’s keen sense of smell picked up the stench of blood and it felt weird. She looked at him with a seeming smile and said, “Got into a fight, huh? Ah, that said, you’ve changed up.”
“I happened to get into a fight with Ding Ke. It isn’t my blood,” Mo Jue explained. Ye Wei’s observation skills were so keen it was terrifying, and Mo Jue knew too well that she would be able to pick out even the slightest discrepancy.
Ye Wei pouted and did not ask further. Mo Jue took the opportunity and turned off the computer despite Ye Wei’s protests. “Why? I have yet to finish watching it.”
“Sleep early. We are going to Bogota tomorrow morning,” Mo Jue said. “Something cropped up at the local casinos and I’ve to see to it personally. You’ll follow me.”
“I never heard you mention that.”
“I just talked to my brother about it, and it’s a last-minute decision on my part. Didn’t you want to see the outside world too? Might as well go then,” Mo Jue said while changing into his sleeping robe right before her eyes. He had no qualms about it.
Ye Wei frowned. “I don’t feel like going.”
“That won’t do!” Mo Jue decisively replied. “I’ll not allow you to remain on the island alone.”
“Who’s going to pounce on me?”
“If you piss my brother off any day, he’ll waste you without batting his eyelids.” Mo Jue harrumphed and pinned her onto the bed overbearingly. “Go to sleep!”
Ye Wei was speechless.
F***, she had to be more carefree.
The next morning, the plane was waiting at the parking apron. Ye Wei and Mo Jue did not pack any luggage and directly headed for the parking apron. Meng Lianling, who was talking to the pilot about something, seemed to have a good conversation with him. When she saw Mo Jue and Ye Wei approach, she greeted them as though nothing happened.
“Brother Jue, Wei Wei, morning!”
“Morning.” Ye Wei greeted her in return and did not take offense at her. Mo Jue, recalling Eleven in the dungeon, coldly raised his eyebrows. As he was a little off whack, he woke up feeling irritated. He felt that if it weren’t for her, Eleven would not have to suffer and Ye Wei would not have to be in shock.
“What brings you here?”
“I…”
Ye Wei, with arms akimbo, did not speak. Mo Jue did not mention that Meng Lianling would be coming along the night before and she thought it was just the two of them. While she did not dislike Meng Lianling per se, she did not like her coming along. She was not a big fan of a threesome, even if Mo Jue would eventually become her brother-in-law.
She felt that Meng Lianling was a person who seemed lively but could be especially domineering. She cared whether she received the attention, and she desperately needed a lot of love. While Meng Lianling already had Mo Ye’s love, Meng Lianling gave her the impression she wanted Mo Jue’s adoration and hence made no qualms about openly expressing how close she was to Mo Jue.
Ye Wei saw everything. She initially thought she was overly sensitive, but it turned out not to be the case.
Meng Lianling seemed to want to prove she wanted the love of two men—one romantic, one sibling-esque. She did not want Mo Jue to love her less and instead tried to prove that she was as important to Mo Jue as Ye Wei was to him.
This was a terrifying possessive streak.
She wanted people to revolve around her and did not like people to like others more than her. Her self-centeredness was too strong.
She was especially childish and banal.
Mo Jue’s face turned cold. “Did my brother agree?”
No way!
He immediately thought otherwise and reached the conclusion that it was Meng Lianling’s idea. Given how the brothers implicitly understood each other, Mo Ye would never allow Meng Lianling to leave with them, even more so under such circumstances.
“I left him a message.” Meng Lianling gently smiled. Since Mo Ye was deeply asleep at this hour, Meng Lianling confidently said, “He will not blame me.”
“Lianling, I do not like you coming along with us.” Mo Jue’s gaze narrowed. “Whatever you tell my brother is between the two of you. Even if he agrees, I will not.”
“Brother Jue!” Meng Lianling did not expect Mo Jue to not show her face. She looked sour and turned to Ye Wei, hoping that Ye Wei would put in a good word or two for her.
Mo Jue saw through it and pulled Ye Wei behind him. “Lianling, my brother can condone you as much as he wishes and even… Not me though.”
He took out his phone and was about to call Mo Ye. Meng Lianling stopped him in a panic. “Don’t!”
Not too far away, a black sedan roared in their attention, and the screech of the car could be heard on the runway. Mo Ye had reached and Mo Jue coldly smiled. It seemed that he did not need to make a call.
Meng Lianling looked at Mo Jue in frustration. If it weren’t for Mo Jue stopping her, they would be on the plane now.
What was with Mo Jue? He used to really dote on her and would not go against her wishes. Mo Ye indulged her, and Mo Jue also doted on her. He would not even raise his voice at her, but now…
He had fallen out with her over Ye Wei once, and did he not want her to follow along because of Ye Wei too? Meng Lianling was extremely angry. Had Ye Wei not appeared, the two brothers would have always treated her like a princess.
Mo Ye got out of the car and looked at Meng Lianling extremely coldly. Meng Lianling gritted her teeth and did not make a sound.
“Brother, I’ll make a move!” Mo Jue said.
Mo Ye nodded, and Mo Jue put his arms around Ye Wei as they boarded the plane.
Ye Wei, through the window, could see the man and woman arguing about something. Mo Ye looked extremely displeased, and Meng Lianling was not happy either. It seemed as though neither was able to convince the other and a stalemate ensued.
Mo Ye reached out in kindness, but Meng Lianling would not buy it and swept his hand away. Mo Ye’s face turned steely and he lost his patience. He grabbed Meng Lianling by her hand and forced her into the car before closing the door forcefully and then immediately sped away.
Ye Wei was happy and gloated at her misfortune. It was rare for Big Boss Mo to fly into a rage, and it was a pity she did not get to overhear what they said. Big Boss Mo was not utterly angry at her too.
It was somewhat of a killjoy.
“Why didn’t you let Meng Lianling come along with us?” Ye Wei asked Mo Jue, who was reading through some documents after the plane took off.
“Lianling is unwell. She has a toxin in her and my brother… is helping concoct the antidote for her. As these few days are the most crucial for her, she cannot leave the island.” Mo Jue did not look at Ye Wei and focused on his computer screen instead.
But he suddenly hoped that the antidote could not be created. Eleven simply had no reason or obligation to sacrifice for Meng Lianling. What if she died?
Wei Wei would be extremely sad if she learned of it.
But nobody, including himself, could stop his brother.
“Why are you all poisoned?” Ye Wei frowned. “Is it because of your caustic characters?”
Mo Jue looked at her coldly. Seeing that he did not respond to such humor, Ye Wei gave him a silly smile before turning away. Mo Jue looked at her side profile deeply.
He felt a mix of thoughts.
“You’d better be thankful it wasn’t you!” He could not help but say it. Ye Wei was in doubt. Mo Jue then regained his senses before carrying on with his work as though nothing happened. Ye Wei became even more suspicious.
“What did you just say?”
“Nothing!”
Ye Wei, seeing him silent, knew that he wouldn’t say another word and decided to stop asking.
‘Ye Wei, you’d better be thankful that you were not the one who was selected to become immune to all poisons.’
If not…
The plane landed in Bogota an hour later and landed at the parking apron in the Mafia’s headquarters. Mo Jue led Ye Wei off the plane. The Mo brothers had four subordinates, Wind, Cloud, Thunder, and Lightning, that only reported to them and not to the elders. The four of them were personally trained by the Mo brothers and were worth their salt.
Wind, Lightning, and Thunder were not in Bogota, and only Cloud was. She was a gorgeous Asian woman who was cheerful and generous. When she saw Ye Wei, she respectfully called her ‘second madam’. Ye Wei immediately took a liking to Cloud.
“Did you just, by calling me second madam, imply some first madam somewhere?” Ye Wei mused.
Cloud did not change her answer and teased in reply, “Second master is somebody’s younger brother.”
Ye Wei gently smiled.
One had to be of some caliber to be able to smile while working for the Mo brothers. This woman was quite a conversationalist and was not afraid of Mo Jue’s sinister and cold side. Her liking for Cloud skyrocketed.
What Mo Jue and Ye Wei did not know was how Jason, who was also in Bogota, received news of their appearance at the Bogota headquarters of the Mafia half an hour after their arrival.
He immediately called Ning Ning and had him verify the accuracy of the information.
