Chapter 480 - Untitled
Mo Jue remained silent, and Ye Wei lost her smile. She looked at Mo Jue doubtfully. Mo Jue held Ye Wei tightly as he knew that she had started to suspect him. He had fallen into Jason’s trap, didn’t pay attention to what he was saying, and admitted indirectly that he knew Eleven.
Although this man was known to be fiery and less scheming, he would not lose to anyone when it came to mind games. Because he was always angry, his fiery temper was the only thing that people had remembered about him.
It was a common stereotype. People had always associated people who were hot-tempered and grumpy with them being bold but careless. However, it was not the case for everyone and Jason was a man who couldn’t be judged by its cover.
Mo Jue had tried his best to gain Ye Wei’s trust, but Jason broke the trust in just a few words.
“Wei Wei, let’s go!” Mo Jue dragged Ye Wei and turned to leave. Jason sneered. How could he let them leave easily? A cold, sharp light reflected upon the glass mirror in front of her and almost instinctively, Ye Wei pulled out her gun and turned back.
She aimed the gun right at Jason!
The two pistols faced each other coldly. Third Young Master Ye was surprised. This was probably the first time Jason and Ye Wei had confronted each other this way. A little carelessness would lead to an irreparable result.
“Jason, don’t!” Third Young Master Ye shouted. Jason was not grumpy anymore. Instead, he looked indifferent. Since he was tall, his blond hair and blue eyes under the light appeared extraordinarily cold.
He was giving off an overbearing vibe, as if he was the king.
“Wei Wei, shoot. We haven’t compared our shooting skills in more than ten years. Let’s find out who can shoot faster, shall we?” Jason’s voice was cold. They couldn’t beat Ye Wei and Eleven in their fighting skills.
In fact, if they compared the speed, ruthlessness, and accuracy of their shots, they weren’t Ye Wei’s match as well.
It was just that no one was willing to give in.
Mo Jue looked at Ye Wei in silence. Actually, he saw Jason’s gun too. But at that moment, he didn’t respond immediately. His intention wasn’t to test Ye Wei’s reaction, but…
When he realized, his behavior had explained everything. He was indeed testing Ye Wei’s reaction, and he was very satisfied with the result. But… he had mixed feelings about it too.
If Ye Wei hadn’t lost her memory, the person whose gun was aimed at her would be him, and never would it be Jason.
“I don’t want to hurt anyone. Put down your gun,” Ye Wei said flatly. “Put down the gun and let us go.”
“Jason, don’t mess around!” Third Young Master Ye rushed over to him and clasped his wrist. He shook his head and whispered. “Don’t. Let them go. Let’s take things slowly.”
“I just want to know what happened to Eleven,” Jason said flatly and looked at Mo Jue with a sharp gaze, insisting on getting an answer. “Mo Jue, you can continue staying silent. Try me. You can make a bet. If Wei Wei’s heart softens and backs out on the spot, my bullet will hit her, and she will be injured. Or, I might not be as good as her, and I will be the one injured. Later on, if Wei Wei knows about this, she will be hurt the most. No matter what happens, the one injured and hurt will always be Wei Wei. Is this how you show your love for her?”
Ye Wei was holding the gun firmly. Her eyes were bright and calm, and she was not smiling at all. Neither was she shocked. She was so calm as if nothing had happened, or as if she was just practicing her shooting.
When she held the gun, she looked very cold and resolute. Nobody thought that Ye Wei would be soft-hearted.
Suddenly, Mo Jue reached out and put his hand on Ye Wei’s. With a slight force, he pointed Ye Wei’s gun down and made her withdraw her gun. “Excuse me. I have nothing to say!”
He dragged Ye Wei along and left, ignoring the gun that was pointing at them behind. It seemed that he knew Jason wouldn’t shoot. Even if he wanted to, Third Young Master Ye, who was beside him, would be able to stop him in time.
He was right. He won!
Jason didn’t shoot. He just frowned. Third Young Master Ye snatched the gun over from his hands. “You’re crazy!”
“Damn it, I really want to shoot Mo Jue! If only Wei Wei didn’t like him! Is there something wrong with her eyes? How could she rather be with that evildoer than be with Little Iron, the perfect guy?” Jason was indignant, and the more he said, the angrier he was. “Thinking of him, Little Iron has been worried about her for a while. What a little traitor she is!”
Mo Jue and Ye Wei went all the way back to the headquarters in silence. Both of them didn’t say anything and the atmosphere between them was awkward and strange. Even when they were back in their room, Ye Wei did not say anything. Mo Jue grabbed her wrist and asked, “Do you still believe me?”
“Yes!” Ye Wei said calmly, looked at him, and chuckled. “What’s the matter? What are you afraid of?”
Mo Jue was stunned and he shook his head. Ye Wei chuckled. “That Eleven that they mentioned—what happened to her? You’d better tell me the truth.”
“You’ll have to ask my brother,” Mo Jue said calmly. “I can’t make the decision on my own.”
Ye Wei couldn’t say anything more. Suddenly, someone knocked on the door in a hurry, and Cloud hurried to report, “Second master, there’s news from London. Something happened to Silver Face.”
She was so flustered that she forgot that she needed to keep this from Ye Wei.
Mo Jue’s expression changed and he left the room immediately. He asked, “What’s going on?”
Ye Wei was surprised. This was the first time she had seen Mo Jue in such a panic. ‘Who is Silver Face?’
They were far away from her, but she could still hear Cloud’s voice faintly. It was not very clear, but she could tell from her tone that it was urgent. Ye Wei watched them disappear in the stairway from the door.
Mo Jue must have concealed many things from her!
Ye Wei laughed at herself. Why did she still want to believe him even though she knew that? Was she trying to find troubles for herself?
It was almost dawn. Ye Wei changed into her pajamas and went to bed. After a night of mental suffering, she was so sleepy that she stopped thinking about her problems. Although the words of Third Young Master Ye and Jason kept circling in her mind, she stubbornly chose to not hear them.
She was woken up by Mo Jue in the early morning and she hadn’t slept for more than two hours. Because of that, she was not very good-tempered and didn’t treat him nicely. “What do you want?”
“We’re back on the island,” Mo Jue said calmly.
Ye Wei was puzzled. “So sudden? Aren’t you going to meet Arthur at the gambling table three days later?”
“Let Cloud handle this. She can represent me,” Mo Jue said. “Let’s go back. It’s not a big problem. I’ve already told her what to do.”
Whether he was present or not, things would go as he planned.
Ye Wei smiled coldly, and her face was both bright and dark under the morning light. “Mo Jue, be honest. What’s the matter? Your attitude has changed a lot. What are you afraid of?”
