Chapter 657 - Untitled
Mo Jue pestered Ye Wei for much of the night. Ye Wei, who was not asleep and whose injured leg was unbearable, allowed him to pester her. The two of them bickered into the later part of the night until she was slightly tired. Mo Jue instead lowered his voice and gently patted her back until she fell asleep.
Whether Ye Wei said she loved him or not did not really matter to him, and she was right about how everybody knew very well about many things that needed not be openly clarified. As long as he knew her intention, everything was good. Ye Wei was not used to saying such things, and even if she did say it, he would not say it.
Ye Wei’s leg was aching so badly she did not sleep well despite falling into a slumber. Mo Jue stroked her thigh which was still warm and a little swollen. Her pale skin had a few hints of bruises on it.
It must have really hurt.
He did not know whether Bai Ye had a solution. Claire only showed him a path whose efficacy was a question.
The next day afternoon, after they had lunch and changed Ye Wei’s dressing, Mo Jue carried Ye Wei onto the plane. He turned on his phone which had remained off for a long moment because he wanted to call Mo Ye to inform him of his traces, lest he come to the island to look for him.
When he turned on his cell phone, he received a photo of Mo Ye in a red suit. Mo Jue suddenly broke into a smile, not even guessing who would take such a photo. Who else would dare to have him wear such clothes? Eleven was evidently behind the photo.
Did she send that to humor Wei Wei?
“What are you laughing about so happily?” Ye Wei looked at him in slight bewilderment. Mo Jue suddenly breaking into laughter must have been terrifying, but she was used to his tempestuous streak.
“Come see this!” Mo Jue passed his cell phone to Ye Wei. The moment she took a look at the photo, she broke into raucous laughter. This seemed to be the first time she had laughed so cheerfully after she was injured. She was actually laughing so hard she was crying.
The photo was utterly comedic. It felt like Big Boss Mo had transformed by quite a bit.
“Are you sure this is your elder brother?” Ye Wei collapsed into his embrace as she laughed. She could not help but be judgmental. “I am so lost for words! My elder brother still looks the best in sunset red.”
Such extremely vibrant colors only complemented a perfect figure and killer looks well.
Mo Jue could only laugh with Ye Wei. Ye Wei knew that Eleven, with Mo Ye, was safe and sound, and her mind was at ease. She was, however, inevitably a little unhappy. “Your elder brother is so fortunate to pull off something so immoral and not get punished by Eleven. He must have been too cunning and really bullied the poor and honest her.”
Now that she had regained her memory, she recalled everything and naturally recalled about their past a few years back. She had never seen Mo Ye before, but she had heard what Eleven had said and the associations made along the way made it less difficult to connect the dots.
She thought that he had disappeared totally a long time ago, not waiting for Eleven at the same place. Little did she expect the person to be Mo Ye. This world was so pitifully small to the point familiar people were just a stone’s throw away.
As for that, Mo Jue remained silent and did not comment.
He then thought about it and asked, “Aren’t you also bullying honest people?”
Ye Wei was taken aback and then laughed. “Are you an honest person? Like, really? Are you shameless enough to call yourself that?”
“Yes!” Mo Jue nodded stoically.
Ye Wei waved her hands and automatically ignored him. Her leg was actually not aching! After the dressing was replaced, her leg felt much cooler and more comfortable. Ye Wei yawned and hugged Mo Jue as she fell asleep.
She had slept late last night and was a little tired.
“I’ll carry you so that you can sleep in your room.”
“No, I’ll just fall asleep sitting down.”
“Wei Wei, I’ve called Eleven to tell her to get to Riyadh.” Mo Jue pondered for a moment before honestly telling her. After she fell asleep last night, he called Eleven and told her they were going to Riyadh and that she could come along.
Ye Wei suddenly perked up and looked at Mo Jue in bewilderment. “You’re mad! Don’t you always hope that I…”
“My mind is not at peace!” Mo Jue slowly said as he gently stroked her face and hair. He then seriously continued. “If we were on the island, which is my turf, I would know before Kahn even approached so that I could get you out of his way. But in Riyadh, I am not sure. After all…”
Mo Jue gritted his teeth and said, “He is a cyborg and should not be compared to normal men like us. I know too well that I am not his match, and if he does indeed come after you for revenge, what could I do if I can’t protect you? Only Eleven can protect you better than I do.”
Apart from Eleven, he could not think of anybody else who could protect Ye Wei so wholeheartedly without regard for anything else.
Kahn would almost certainly look for Ye Wei out of revenge, and Ye Wei’s leg injury could not remain for too long. Bai Ye, despite his excellent medical skills, might not be able to save her. He could only bring her to Riyadh and take his chances.
With Eleven by her side, he would be much more at ease.
“What should I say about you?” Ye Wei shook her head and decided against saying it. She knew that Mo Jue was doing it for her good. “Chances are that your elder brother hasn’t spent more than a few days with Eleven, right?”
“I don’t know!” Mo Jue said.
“You didn’t manage to locate them? Where is he now?” Ye Wei asked curiously.
“They are still in Muscat. Kahn’s eyes were severely inflamed and he is undergoing treatment for them now. Unless he wants to go blind in both eyes, he will have to remain in Muscat for a few days,” Mo Jue said.
Ye Wei broke into a slightly cold smile. Severe inflammation… She imagined how horrifying it was when the silver needles entered Kahn’s eyes, and she shuddered. The imagery was nothing short of gory.
“Hmmph! Since she is around, Meng Lianying must be around too.” Ye Wei’s cold smile became even more intense. She had this sudden premonition that looking for them for revenge was not too bad an idea.
There was Beauty Su, the viral expert, around. Bai Ye and Mo Jue were no slouches either. Eleven could take Kahn on while the two of them took care of Meng Lianying and the other experts present. There should not be any issue.
Taking them out earlier would give them that bit more peace of mind lest they become a walking time bomb that would explode when they least expected it. This feeling was not too bad after all.
Mo Jue agreed. “She has gone overboard this time. I will not spare her.”
“Got it. Just remember to shoot her a few more times lest she die too quickly. That b**** almost killed me five years ago, and I have yet to settle that score with her.” Ye Wei coldly laughed. She really wanted to teach Meng Lianying a lesson.
The pretext was that her legs had to be up to the task.
But as she thought about it, none of them had even more reasons than Eleven did to put Meng Lianying in her place. She was somehow looking forward to life in Riyadh.
“Wei Wei, this smile of yours is terrible!”
“It’s not directed at you!”
