Chapter 589: Untitled
Mo Jue sent Daiya to lead four other grade A intelligence agents to find out how the explosion at the hotel happened and who was the mastermind behind it.
One day had passed and both sides had received the news. Daiya made up a story and accused the bunch of killers for killing Ye Wei. There was nothing Mo Jue could do even if he knew who the killers were since it was not easy to find them.
She had her own connection network and abilities, so she could create things to make people believe her and easily gain Mo Jue’s trust.
But, there was no news from Birmingham’s side. There was no news of Ye Wei and Eleven leaving the city. It was as if the two of them had gone missing and disappeared in Palermo within a night.
Mo Jue was worried and was more eager to find out where Ye Wei was. Therefore, the more he ignored Daiya’s side, especially since he trusted that Daiya would not betray him. He did not really care about the news from her side and took it as the killers had done it. After all, there were many people that wanted to kill Ye Wei.
Birmingham checked the whole Palermo, but there was no news of Eleven and Ye Wei. He wanted to cry as he went back and had to face Mo Jue.
“There is no way they could disappear so quickly. They might still be around.” Mo Jue looked at Birmingham’s information and felt suspicious. He might not be suspicious if Eleven and Ye Wei disappeared in a normal city, but it would never happen in Palermo as there was the Mafia’s intelligence network everywhere. This was the Mafia’s headquarters and security was very good to prevent suspicious people from coming or leaving.
Even if Ye Wei and Eleven took the private plane to leave, there would have been a record of it. But there was no news at all and it made Mo Jue very suspicious. He frowned. Birmingham felt so too, so he had asked people to search within Palermo.
“Are you sure that they had left the hotel when you went?” Mo Jue asked solemnly. This was the only suspicious issue no matter how he thought about it. Birmingham told him what happened at that time and Mo Jue’s gaze was even more solemn. A trace of danger flashed past his eyes.
“Think about it carefully. Was there anything strange back then?” Mo Jue asked again. Usually, Mo Jue would not care about such a thing, but it did not mean that he was stupid. It was just that he was lazy, but as long as it concerned Ye Wei, he would definitely make things clear.
Birmingham thought about what happened at that time and shook his head as he did not find anything weird. Mo Jue looked solemn and said, “Go to the hotel and check again.”
“Second master, didn’t you send Daiya to check? Did she not give you any information?”
“No!” Mo Jue said coldly.
Birmingham nodded. “Alright, I will go check it out.”
The door of the study room was suddenly opened by someone and Daiya looked angry as she walked in. Her aura was threatening and she questioned him. “Second Boss Mo, what do you mean? Are you questioning my ability?”
She was holding on to a document and looked angry. But she looked more delicate, just like a queen that was high up in the air. It was as if Mo Jue had shamed her.
Mo Jue did not change his expression and said solemnly, “Since when can you question what I do? Atrocious!”
Birmingham was shocked. Daiya’s position was different from him as she was the elder’s daughter and the elder had a high-ranking position in the Mafia. Daiya knew the Mo brothers even before they were by Louis’ side and had helped the Mo brothers a lot when they were fighting to gain the Mafia. She was even more important than him and Mo Jue’s Knights of the Apocalypse.
Therefore, Mo Ye thought highly of her and had never scolded her. Mo Jue always listened to Mo Ye and this was the first time Mo Jue used his position as the godfather on her.
Logic did not apply to Mo Jue whenever it was something related to Ye Wei. He would definitely do unexpected things.
“You…” Daiya was so angry that she shivered. Her eyes looked so sinister that she wanted to kill someone. But she regained her composure and threw the document. It landed on Mo Jue’s table.
She said solemnly, “There’s no need to search. Ye Wei and Eleven were still in the hotel during the explosion. They did not leave.”
Mo Jue immediately stood up and his eyes looked solemn as he took the document. He was so angry that he was like the king of hell. Damn it, they did not leave…
Daiya hated it so much.
She lost the bet!
She wanted to make a bet that Mo Jue would not care about her because of Ye Wei. She had settled the hotel’s side and nothing would go wrong, but who knew that Mo Jue suspected her.
She had planned everything but forgot about Eleven’s luggage.
Almost everything was burned into ashes due to the explosion and fire on the 39th level. But Eleven’s luggage was intact. Her luggage was only a backpack. There were her passport, clothes, secret weapons, and some confidential documents inside. This luggage was one that Eleven would bring along with her whenever she went, and there was a layer of fire-resistant cloth on the outside, so it was not burned. It was kept by the hotel and Daiya wanted to use it to lure Eleven and Ye Wei. Hence, she did not tell Mo Jue.
But if Mo Jue asked Birmingham to search, he would definitely be able to find it and it would prove that she had lied. The consequences would be disastrous, and Mo Jue would definitely suspect her. She wanted to bet, but Mo Jue managed to think about it.
Therefore, Daiya had to take a step back and tell him the truth.
Everything would be alright as long as Mo Jue did not find out that she was the mastermind.
Hmmph, Ye Wei and Eleven had gotten away this time around.
“Didn’t you say that you didn’t receive any information? Didn’t you say that they left?” Mo Jue slammed the document on the table and shouted.
Daiya rebutted. “Birmingham said that they had left, so I didn’t search carefully. Blame him if you want. I felt that things were too coincidental, so I went to search again and found this luggage. It was so chaotic at that time and things were all together. How would I know that this insignificant luggage belongs to them?”
Daiya was angered too and solemnly said, “Moreover, what has their life got to do with me? You should be thankful that I remembered about my job and went back to check the luggage.”
Mo Jue stared at her in a sinister manner, and Birmingham immediately admitted that he was wrong. “Second master, I’m sorry for my negligence. I should not have relied on my logic to make deductions.”
Mo Jue waved his hands to let Birmingham keep quiet. They definitely did not leave yet since they left such an important thing there. If not, the luggage would not be in the hotel. The only reason was that they were busy escaping and did not have time to take the luggage.
Damn it, who was trying to kill them? He would not let them off if he found out.
Eleven was around, so Wei Wei should be safe. Mo Jue tried to comfort himself and asked, “Have you checked the corpse at the hotel?”
“The corpses were all burned and not recognizable. The police will conduct a check,” Daiya said and looked at Birmingham coldly as if trying to blame him for sabotaging her. Birmingham kept quiet.
“Where’s Eleven’s luggage? Did you bring it back?” Mo Jue asked quietly. This thing could not be missing. If not… If the Top Terrorist Organization’s information was leaked to others…
He frowned and Daiya said, “I didn’t have the chance to take it. It’s taken by Mr. Brown from Interpol.”
“What did you say? Scoundrel!” Mo Jue was angry. Birmingham knew that things were bad. Taken away by Mr. Brown? Then, wouldn’t it be… He’d better pray that there were no confidential documents inside.
“Sorry! The Interpol reacted too quickly and I couldn’t stop them.” Daiya said, but she laughed in her heart as she was the one that informed Mr. Brown. Mr. Brown was Ye Wei’s enemy. If it was in Mo Jue and Mo Ye’s hand, they would not leak it as they were afraid that Eleven and Ye Wei would be in danger.
But Mr. Brown was different.
He was fair.
Mo Jue frowned. “Birmingham, go check Mr. Brown’s location and get back the thing no matter what.”
“Okay!”
“Then, what do I do?” Daiya asked solemnly.
Mo Jue looked at her and said, “You have nothing to do as of now. Let Birmingham go and check. I will make arrangements for other things later.”
Daiya gritted her teeth and was very angry.
“Birmingham, remember not to leak out any information. If you let my brother know…” Mo Jue warned him, his eyes looking at him sharply. Birmingham and Daiya both nodded.
Mo Ye was awake and he was still recovering. Mo Jue did not want to bother him.
Mo Jue looked at Daiya and Birmingham solemnly and walked out of the room like a whirlwind. Daiya asked, “Where did he go?”
“I don’t know!”
At a church. The pastor helped the lady on the bed apply medicine and could not help but reminded her of the things to take note of. Ye Wei nodded profusely before he left the room. Eleven looked at the injuries on her back and frowned.
They reacted quickly but was still slower than the explosion. The fire burned Ye Wei’s back. Her fair skin became red, and luckily, Eleven reacted quickly and jumped to the next building as they jumped down the balcony. She could actually jump across buildings now without using any equipment.
They might have died if she had not become a cyborg.
“Is it painful?” Eleven slowly put on her clothes. Ye Wei shook her head. “No, it’s just a small injury. Damn it, since when have I fallen into other’s trap? Don’t let me know who it is.”
