Mo Ye stood on the second-floor balcony and saw Ye Wei carry Mo Jue whilst roaming around the island. Even Mo Ye, however cold he was, could feel the youth vibes from them.
He never admitted how important Ye Wei was toward Mo Jue. To him, Mo Jue was after novelty and was not serious about her. He felt differently.
To think that he could compromise on even that? To even raise his voice at him over Ye Wei? Mo Ye coldly harrumphed. It wasn’t until today that he could sense the effect Ye Wei had on Mo Jue. It was afraid that Mo Jue did not know that she was the reason for his change.
He recalled Eleven in the dungeon and Meng Lianling who was poisoned. Mo Ye had many troubles that he could not shake away. Some of his decisions were not as firm as they were.
What was he hesitating about?
He did not know!
It could have been the youthfulness of the two who left that caught onto him. Mo Ye suddenly recalled that he was in his twenties this year but was never as high-spirited as Ye Wei. Mo Jue might have taken a liking to her because of her infectious character. To people who often roamed in the dark side, the sunlight was more than enough to make up for it.
While he did not like her, he had to admit that she had made Mo Jue that bit livelier and that less dead. He was happy and worried about this change. While he was happy that he was living like a person, he was as worried as she affected Mo Jue more than him. He was worried about a new situation unfolding.
He hence had no room for Ye Wei.
Mo Ye went up the stairs, and Meng Lianling followed. She saw Ye Wei and Mo Jue below, and she was actually extremely jealous of Ye Wei as Ye Wei had close family, friends, and she enjoyed life before she lost her memory. She never gained Mo Jue’s doting love and condoning until she lost her memory.
She was extremely envious about how they could be so open about their feelings for each other. Having known Mo Jue for five years, she had never seen him like this. He cooked for her, watched over her, butted heads with Mo Ye over her, and was willing to condone her waywardness.
In her eyes, Ye Wei was willful, but not to the point people were irked by her willfulness. Instead, Ye Wei had a charming willfulness that caught attention. While she might have been unintentional about it, it was the impression she gave people.
Anybody who was with her would be outshone by her, like how she danced erotically that day. Everybody remembered her moves and style. They had, however, forgotten who she had danced with. Even if she stood with the gorgeous Mo Jue, she did not have the imposing beauty that Mo Jue had. One would notice her first.
In Meng Lianling’s opinion, Ye Wei’s willfulness captured the hearts of those who allowed themselves to be charmed by her to laugh with her and cry with her.
When it came to ranking the international killers, Ye Wei and Eleven became eminent at the same time. Two years ago, Ye Wei was on Golden Eagle’s tail for the title of top international killer. In the world of international killers, everybody knew who the eminent Ye Wei was. It was Eleven whom they knew little of. The only thing they knew was that Ye Wei and Eleven were bosom buddies. Many had the impression that Eleven was merely Ye Wei’s lackey as all their records and accolades were almost all attributed to Ye Wei.
At that moment, Golden Eagle was still the top killer. Ye Wei, however, was the de facto king.
Many speculated that Ye Wei could challenge Golden Eagle and replace him as the top international killer. What utterly surprised all was how she stepped out of view at her most eminent and did not make any major moves. Even if she acted in concert with Eleven, she almost did not act but merely watched Eleven’s back.
Later, Eleven single-handedly killed Golden Eagle and replaced him as the top international killer. It was then she completely walked out from under Ye Wei’s halo. The fraternity of killers put both of them as the top international killer thereafter.
Eleven only became famous later on as Ye Wei was half-secluded.
Even Eleven faced challenges stepping out from the shadow of Ye Wei’s halo, let alone her. She was too attention-gathering and had a charm that people could not overlook.
These were things she did not have.
What Ye Wei had did not stop there. She had Mo Jue’s adoration. Everybody who knew Mo Jue was of the opinion that Mo Jue, who only loved himself, had a special feeling for her. She actually envied and was jealous of the interaction and happiness between them. Although Mo Jue did not show his feelings, everybody could tell that he was happy whenever Ye Wei was around.
Mo Ye and she were…
Mo Ye extremely doted on her, and that was true. She could not help but feel that something was missing. It was as though this doting and love became a responsibility. He was used to doting on her and loving her. Mo Ye loving and doting on her made her feel that it was a formality and she was often unhappy as the passion between lovers was missing.
She often thought to herself that she was too greedy. Whenever she was unhappy, she would think about how Mo Ye, given his looks, ability, and position, never lacked women and how she was the only one around him. Mo Ye was never gentle toward women, but he gave her all the gentleness he could muster.
As she thought of that, she was content.
This was Meng Lianling’s self-regulation. If she did not think of this, she would have long argued with Mo Ye. She understood him, and although he did yield to her, he had his bottom line and she knew her limits. They would only bicker on what was negotiable and never triggered the other party’s bottom line.
They were often more gentle and loving with each other rather than passionate with each other. If a girl who had seen life and death could be wholly doted on and loved by somebody, she did not want to overthink and just go with the flow. When she saw Ye Wei and Mo Jue, she could not help but feel extremely… aggrieved.
“Ye…” Meng Lianling gently called him and walked next to him. Mo Ye turned around and Meng Lianling bitterly smiled. “Do you also think that I had made a mistake?”
He never stood up for her and even remained silent despite Mo Jue’s harsh last words.
Mo Ye looked at her. “Lianling, you have overstepped! Little Jue was trying his best to wipe her memories, and how huge was the risk he took to do so? You spared no expense to restore her memory! What are you up to?”
“I did not cause her to recover her memory.” Meng Lianling shook her head in agony. “I did not. I just…”
She could not say why.
Mo Ye remained calm and unperturbed. “Lianling, you may be able to deceive Little Jue but not me. Why did you try to fish information on Eleven from Ye Wei? What exactly are you hiding from me?”
Meng Lianling felt a jolt through her body. Indeed, it was Mo Ye who understood her best instead of Mo Jue. He could tell that she was lying. Meng Lianling looked down as her mind whirred, her fingers trembling. She was slightly afraid.
Mo Ye paused and said, “Tell me. What was it exactly?”
Meng Lianling was full of indignation and her eyes became red as she stared at Mo Ye angrily. “Why are you questioning me like this? Why are you doing this when Brother Jue did the same to me too? Why? Eleven and Ye Wei are outsiders, and you are roaring at me because of them?”
“Lianling.” Mo Ye gently called her as he slightly frowned. “Your agitation is too fake.”
Meng Lianling felt her heart skip a beat. When she compared Mo Ye against Mo Jue, she feared Mo Ye even more because his thoughts were too deep. His eyes, hidden behind a shroud, calmly observed everything in the world. Nothing could escape his eyes. It was terrifying.
He saw through everything she did.
“Mo Ye!” Meng Lianling was really flustered. Her cheeks were red and she wiped the tears away from her face and sat on the sofa angrily. “I have my own plans.”
“Tell me!” Mo Ye was intent on pursuing the question. “You always knew the boundaries, and Little Jue had warned you before. If it weren’t for exceptional reasons, you would not even have asked Ye Wei that. What exactly are you hiding from me? How dare you fish information from Ye Wei when you could have asked me instead? If you want to look for a person, Little Jue and I could help you. It’s child’s play for us. But you didn’t, did you? What are you afraid of?”
Meng Lianling gritted her teeth. She hated how smart Mo Ye was. “Mo Ye, you are not a shrink and I am not your patient. You don’t have to break my psyche down this way.”
“Give me a convincing reason then.”
Meng Lianling looked into Mo Ye’s eyes and said, “I want to kill her!”
“Why?” Mo Ye remained calm.
“She killed my sister,” Meng Lianling said through gritted teeth. “Golden Eagle always stayed in a hut in the African Savannah, and countless people sought him out to fight him in the hope of winning against him. My sister was no different. I tried to convince her against going, but she just would not listen. Although we were twin sisters, my sister was always stronger than me and picked up things faster than me. She felt that she had a shot at duking it out with Golden Eagle and hence sought Golden Eagle out at all costs. That year, my sister, Ye Wei, and Eleven went to seek Golden Eagle out in the African Savannah. Everybody knew that Ye Wei was the umpire and Eleven won against Golden Eagle. Little did they know that my sister had died there too. When she went there, Golden Eagle was already dead. She hence challenged the new top international killer…”
Knowing that competition in the world of international killers was extremely intense, Mo Ye frowned. There were countless waves of talents in the past years, and those who had the guts and ability were countless as well. Many fought for eminence and everybody wanted a shot at being the top international killer. The title of top international killer had claimed many lives.
However, there were rules in the fraternity. Fighting was no different from a gladiator duel where they fought to the death. When Eleven fought with the others, she was mentally prepared to die anytime.
Nobody hated the other person.
“If you are dueling with another person, be prepared to receive your fate,” Mo Ye coldly replied. He did not say this because Eleven was the opponent but from the perspective of an observer.
“Do you know that my sister had two wounds? One was on her back and the other was on her neck. The concealable weapon that attacked her in the back was laced with poison that caused my sister’s death. If she weren’t poisoned, how could she die? If this were a fair match, I would not bear a grudge against the person who killed my sister. I hate it that my sister died mysteriously,” Meng Lianling said through gritted teeth. “When I reached there, her body was still warm. The foolish me back then wanted to duke it out with her, and I had secretly searched for her for years to exact my revenge. They were all to no avail.”
“You did not mention this to me,” Mo Ye plainly said as he thought about something else. Eleven killed Meng Lianling’s sister, and Eleven’s life hung in the balance for Meng Lianling. Was this the legendary… karma?
Was it really a life for a life?
“She is too formidable. Besides, she has Ye Wei and the terrorist organization backing her. I do not want my vendetta to affect your plans and set you back in the process. That was why I never mentioned this at all.” Meng Lianling was aggrieved and her eyes were red. Her tears trickled onto her hands and broke apart.
Mo Ye gently wiped away her tears. Meng Lianling felt even more aggrieved and suddenly hugged him. “Ye, I am sorry. It was unintentional. I came here because I wanted to find out where she was.”
“Okay, stop crying.” Mo Ye gently coaxed her. “Why didn’t you say so earlier?”
“How could I? He was so protective of Ye Wei. If I said it, he would not allow me to get close to Ye Wei.” Meng Lianling heard that and became even more aggrieved. Mo Ye gently tapped her back and he sounded much gentler.
He knew that Meng Lianling had a sister who looked exactly like her. He had followed Meng Lianling to her grave and saw her photograph. Meng Lianling did not mention how her sister died. He knew that her sister’s death was a painful memory for her and never mentioned it either. Little did he expect Eleven to be behind her sister’s death.
It just had to be those few people.
If Meng Lianling knew that Eleven was imprisoned in the mountain top dungeon, he was afraid… Mo Ye paused for a moment. He was thankful he did not tell her that at the start. He was thankful because Meng Lianling would have killed Eleven if she knew where Eleven was, and in turn, lost an opportunity to neutralize the toxin in her. What a close shave.
“Stop mentioning this to Ye Wei. If not, Little Jue will be unhappy,” Mo Ye said, and he was pretty gentle and less harsh than before. “I know you want revenge, but do not haste.”
“How could I not hasten? I have waited for so many years, and there is finally hope,” Meng Lianling said angrily. “I’d always thought that Ye Wei was my only clue, so I took that risk. I was hoping that Ye Wei would quickly rat on where Eleven was. If Eleven knew where she was, she would come and save her.”
She sounded extremely sinister.
Mo Ye pondered. It was impossible for Eleven to look for Ye Wei because she could not escape the room. If Lianling knew that Eleven was facing death because of the toxins in her, how would she feel?
What a contrived turn of events.
“Stop worrying about these. If you provoke Little Jue, I will not bother about you.” Mo Ye sounded colder as he secretly warned her. “Ye Wei is a walking time bomb, and I am already nervous as heck with her next to him. I will not allow you to stir her memory.”
Meng Lianling, as though she had been hugely wronged, was on the verge of tears. While Mo Ye was typically a cold-hearted person, he could not stand her like this and could only console her and urge her not to hasten things since she had been waiting for this for many years.
“Will you help me?” Meng Lianling asked. “She killed my sister. I know that I cannot kill her myself. You will help me, right?”
Mo Ye gently acknowledged. “Yes, I will.”
Meng Lianling was extremely elated and hugged him. She happily said, “I know that you treat me the best.”
While Mo Ye hugged her, he could not help but look out the window.
Why kill Eleven?
He was afraid that she would also wish she could kill him, and they would be mortal enemies. However things went, detoxifying Meng Lianling was the priority. It was something Eleven owed her, and that’s it.
“Ye, are you this nice toward me because I saved you years back?” Meng Lianling suddenly asked. “I never knew whether you were that bit more affectionate toward me or that bit more romantic toward me.”
Mo Ye was slightly caught off guard and he smiled. “Why are you saying such insensible things?”
“I don’t care. Answer me.” Meng Lianling suddenly became stubborn and looked at him steely. “If I did not save you back then, would you still love me this much?”
“I don’t answer questions that begin with an ‘if’ simply because they don’t exist.” Mo Ye interrupted her. “You have been a little weird lately. You’ve asked me the same question twice.”
“I feel that you are repaying my gratitude. Look at how Brother Jue treats Ye Wei.” Meng Lianling sounded aggrieved.
“Lianling, what’s exactly on your mind?” Mo Ye sighed. “I am me, and Little Jue is Little Jue. Who said that everybody expresses love the same way?”
“You’re right. No, wait, you have not answered me. If somebody else had saved you back then, would you have fallen in love with them?”
“I don’t know.” Mo Ye cleanly answered her question. Meng Lianling was flustered and kicked him.
Mo Ye looked at her teasingly. “You are quite different from back then. It seems like I’ve doted on you a bit too much these few years.”
Meng Lianling smiled. “Do you like me back then or the current me?”
“Do you want an honest answer?”
“Duh!”
Mo Ye smiled. “I fancy the you when we just met, and when I was blind.”
After all, it was her back then that really touched him.
Meng Lianling’s smile slightly stiffened and she looked down, smiling charmingly. “I like the you now.”
“Whatever. It’s your choice after all,” Mo Ye plainly said.
When he was blind years back and got lost, Ding Ke was unable to save him in time and Mo Jue could not pick him up in time. She had led him away and tended to him. When he regained consciousness, he thought she was the enemy and wanted to duke it out with her. She, however, stepped on him. He clearly remembered the first thing she said to him, “You are way more like a woman than I am.”
Her statement almost angered him to death.
She had saved him back then, and both of them had to hide in a frozen river in winter. She was frozen, and he woke up to realize that she was unwell with a high fever and hoarse voice. While she did not take care of him particularly well, she was not negligent.
He asked her why she wanted to save him. Her reply: out of convenience.
He asked her why she took care of him here. Her reply: She was waiting for somebody there, so it was out of convenience too.
Back then, he wanted to open his eyes and see just which woman would dare to speak to him in this manner. He asked her for her name. Her reply: Meng Lianling.
