Chapter 531: Acting and Watching the Show

Beth and the other officials looked at each other with joy, without concealing the victory and greed in their eyes. Mo Jue spun the ring on his finger gently. The ring that represented his Mafia godfather status was glowing. Mo Jue’s cold smile remained, as if he was mocking at something. He had a sly and treacherous look.

Ye Wei suddenly realized that Mo Jue must have something else to say. He was a stubborn person who wouldn’t even frown if you kneel down or commit suicide in front of him. How would he possibly succumb to Beth’s aggressiveness?

“Mr Mo, are you serious?” Beth asked in a deep voice. He more or less knew what Mo Jue was like.

Mo Jue smiled faintly. “It’s just that the Mafia has recently issued a batch of counterfeit banknotes. It’s hard to distinguish them from the real ones, even the famous King of counterfeit banknotes have approved the workmanship and was very satisfied. I would gladly give them to you. What can you do with them anyway?”

Beth was furious. When he banged on the table, the two bodyguards behind him pulled out their pistols and aimed them at Mo Jue and Ye Wei. How dare he play him for a fool? Mo Ye would never exceed his limits and behave like that.

All the officials present were furious as well. Beth said in a deep voice, “Mr Mo, don’t think that we are afraid of you and dare not touch you. How presumptuous of you to have looked down on the power of the government.”

Even though there were guns pointing at him, Mo Jue remained calm and poised. He leaned back with a relaxed posture and didn’t feel threatened at all. “It seems like you will not let me go unless I agree to it.”

“Mr Mo, you were in the wrong. It’s reasonable that we asked for compensation. How can you treat us like fools?”

‘It’s not my fault that you are stupid!’ Mo Jue sneered. He looked sharply at all the officials and said coldly, “I’m afraid that nobody would be able to leave this place once the gun is fired. There’ll be thirteen other people dying together with me. It’s worth it.”

Mo Jue seemed relaxed, but the officials were terrified. One of the officials shouted, “Nonsense! The security is tight here. How can your men sneak in?”

“It seems like you can’t make clear of the situation now if you don’t see any dead man. I’ll grant your wish! Ding Ke!” Mo Jue called out Ding Ke’s name. Three seconds later…

Bang! There was a loud noise.

The bullet went through the glass window and shot directly into the forehead of an official. He did not even have the time to scream and was killed instantly. The room was a mess. All the bodyguards pulled out their guns.

“You should think about it carefully before shooting.” Mo Jue remained seated on his seat, looking at the messed up scene sarcastically. People were all scolding, cursing and out of their seats, except for the Deputy Defense Minister, Beth. He stared at Mo Jue with eyes that were burning with fire.

The glass broke, and blood stained the carpet gradually. The chaos intensified, but Mo Jue was exceptionally calm, looking as if he was a God that was mocking the troubles of humans while standing in the clouds.

Beth snapped. “Put your guns away. Silence!”

The bodyguards looked at each other speechlessly. One of the officials shouted angrily, “He killed Odinhan. He killed Odinhan…”

“We can’t let him off. Kill him. Kill him…”

“Beth, what are you thinking? He killed our men again. How are we going to explain his death tomorrow? How do we explain this to the prime minister?”

“Beth, give an order to kill him now!”

…

Ye Wei looked at the dead man and then at Mo Jue’s relaxed side profile. She was not shocked at all, but realized that that was the dark world which she had been living in. In the blink of an eye, a life was gone.

No pity, no sympathy, no anger. Only… endless indifference.

She might really be a top killer, as only a killer could treat life so indifferently, without any sense of sympathy.

She sneered coldly.

Beth stared at Mo Jue in silence, as if he was trying to guess what he was going to do from his eyes and gaze. In the state of chaos, he shouted with his solemn voice again, asking them to put down their guns and let the officials go back to their seats.

They went back to their seats unwillingly, but they were trembling, afraid that they would be the next victim. Their gaze shifted around in panic.

“What do you want?” Beth asked Mo Jue in a deep voice.

Mo Jue sneered. If he hadn’t been so stubborn, it would have been peaceful and no killings. Although this was a classic move to intimidate others, it was extremely effective.

“I don’t want anything, as long as you don’t bother me.”

…

After they came out of the private guild hall, Ye Wei asked, “If they really shoot, were you planning to die here?”

“They wouldn’t dare to shoot.”

Ye Wei chuckled. She understood why he had said that. ‘But, since when have Mo Jue become so sober? I thought he disliked racking his brains on these?’ She thought. “Why do you say that?”

“Beth and the officials had gone through hardships to gain power, but they have not enjoyed the advantages of having power. How could they possibly not fear death? Such people are most reluctant to die.” Mo Jue sneered. “They are different from us. The last time, they had quietened down after two people were killed, but today, they quietened down after one died. What does this mean? They are afraid of death!”

“Who wouldn’t be afraid of death? I’m afraid of death, too.” Ye Wei said with an enchanting smile.

Mo Jue tilted his head and smiled creepily, which made Ye Wei’s hair stand. Ye Wei couldn’t help punching him. “Come on, you’re scary.”

“Then you shall not talk about death!” Mo Jue suddenly got irritated, and he had a sinister, devilish gaze.

‘This child has serious mood swings.’ Ye Wei thought. Fortunately, her heart was strong enough to take it. “Okay Pretty, I’m hungry. Let’s get supper.”

…

In the private guild hall, Beth and the officials remained arguing about how arrogant Mo Jue was. One suggested, “Beth, how about we pay a killer to kill him?”

“I agree. I don’t believe that no one can subdue Mo Jue. He had already killed three of us.”

“Beth, what do you say? How do we explain Odinhan’s death?”

…

Beth looked at the dead Odin, narrowed his eyes and sneered. “Easy. Disguise his death as an assassination and say that we had met with an assassination tonight. Think, who would be the most suspicious if Odin was killed?”

“The left wing.”

Beth had a sinister smile. That’s right, if they had met with assassinations during the election period, the left wing party would be the most suspicious. This would gain them the support of the public, as well as lower the prestige of the left wing party.

Everybody realized what was going on and soon started their plan.

“What about Mo Ye? Are we going to let him do whatever he wants? The suggestion just now is great. Let’s hire a killer to kill him.”

“Killer? Who is capable of killing him?”

“Don’t we have the top killers, Ye Wei and Eleven?”

“Let me think.”

“Beth, what’s there to consider? I have a way to contact them. Kill Mo Ye once and for all, and we will never be under his control again.”

“You have to be sure. If this goes wrong, we will be dead meat.”

“Beth, don’t worry. If we do it quietly, nobody will know that we did it. There’s no one Ye Wei and Eleven can’t kill yet. Ha!”

Beth hesitated a little and asked, “Who was the woman beside Mo Ye?”

“I don’t know. She doesn’t look familiar to me.”

“They seem to be very close to each other. Check it out immediately.”

“Beth, so are we still hiring the killer?”

“Wait till I consult the Prime Minister about it!”

“Okay!”

London, the headquarters of the Top Terrorist Organization.

A warning window popped out on the computer screen. Ning Ning, who was reading a book, got up, put the book down and entered the system of the Top Terrorist Organization immediately. It was actually the system which only belonged to Ye Wei and Eleven, not really considered as a system of the Top Terrorist Organization.

However, since Ye Wei had lost her memories and Eleven was not in charge, the system was managed by Ning Ning for the time being.

As soon as he entered the system, he received an email. Ning Ning opened it and it was an email offering him 500 million pounds to take Mo Ye’s life, and it was signed off as Tony.

“How rich.” Ning Ning muttered and pouted his mouth cutely. ‘Who in the world hates Mo Ye so much that he is willing to pay such a high price to take his life?’ Actually, Ye Wei and Eleven have not accepted many cases.

Ever since the Top Terrorist Organization had firmly established its foothold in the industry, there was almost no need for them to make money by taking cases. Besides, only few people would hire Ye Wei and Eleven to kill someone as they were expensive. That was why they only served a small number of people. Secondly, it was hard to get in contact with them. One would never get in contact with them without the introduction through connections.

Or, you could also send out a notice in the international killer circle and appoint Ye Wei and Eleven to kill. They would contact you if they are interested.

“Who?”

“Ning Ning, I guess you’re still awake.” Rong Yan entered the room with the ointment.

“Sister Rong Yan, I’m still not done yet.” Ning Ning yawned. He was a little tired. It was alright to ignore Ye Wei’s affairs temporarily. Although he didn’t know where Eleven was, he was sure that she was okay too.

Hence, it was all well for the time being. The young kid hadn’t leave for the island as Chu Li was afraid that something might happen to him. He wanted to wait until everything to return to normal before he leaves, but he went ahead to start him with the most basic physical training.

Physical training was very torturing for our lovely and spoiled Ning Ning. After a week, the young kid’s tender face had become all pointy, and his soft arms had become firmer. He wakes up at five o’clock in the morning every day and trains intensely until six o’clock in the evening, with only an hour break.

In addition to the physical training, he had intelligence training class at eight o’clock in the evening, until eleven o’clock at night. His schedule was very packed. At the beginning, the young kid wasn’t strong enough for all the training and fell asleep almost immediately every time he went back to his bed. There were a few times he had fallen asleep while talking to Cheng Anya on the phone.

It was really… Tiring!

It wasn’t a life for humans.

Rong Yan treated him extremely well. It might be because she had lost her own child, Rong Yan was very attentive and caring towards children. Every day, she would apply ointment on his wounds and bruises.

“If you want to stand on the top in the future, you’ll have to suffer now.”

Indeed, he had suffered a lot. He pinched his thin arm and realized that children without their mothers are like frail grass. It was still the best to be able to stay by his Mommy’s side.

Rong Yan smiled but did not speak. She applied ointment on him and said, “Why do you have so many bruises today?”

Feeling aggrieved, the young kid said, “Scheming Chu is too scheming. These are all caused by him. He’s so big but I’m so petite. How can I be his opponent?”

Rong Yan, “…So he went to the training ground today. Hmmph!”

“Teach him a lesson for me.”

“No problem.” The young kid and Rong Yan made a good team and laughed. “Take a rest after I apply the ointment for you. It’s twelve o’clock already.”

“Ah, Sister Rong Yan, please help me to call Scheming Chu here. I have something to tell him.”

“Wait.” Rong Yan put down the ointment and pressed the call button. “Ah Li, Ning Ning wants you here. Come upstairs immediately even if you are busy.”

She hung up the call before Chu Li could speak.

The young kid stuck out his tongue. “Did Fang Ying bully you again?”

“I can’t say that she had bullied me. There must always be people who act, and people who watch the show. Otherwise, what does the actor live by?” Rong Yan said calmly, as if nothing had happened. The young kid went into deep thought about what she said. He thought that her words were too profound.

“Sister Rong Yan, why are you letting Fang Ying do whatever she wants?” The young kid was puzzled. “If my mommy were you, I don’t know how Fang Ying would be like now.”

“That’s because your father didn’t love other women other than your mommy.” Rong Yan smiled. “I’m not letting her do whatever she wants, it’s just that… There are some things I haven’t made clear of, so I’ll have to wait and see for the time being.”

“What happened?”

Rong Yan looked at the young kid and pinched his face. “Don’t ask. Let’s not talk about things that aren’t confirmed, lest they say that I’m framing her. Don’t tell Chu Li about this too.”

“What do you suspect of her?”

“Maybe it’s my delusion.” Rong Yan didn’t say too much. She took off the young kid’s shirt, and narrowed her eyes. “Ah Li is really overdoing this. Does your back ache?”

“A little!” The young kid pouted his mouth.

‘It hurts badly!’

It was heartbreaking to see the large bruise on the young kid’s back. “It’s fortunate that your father and mother aren’t here to see this. Imagine how heartbroken they would be.”

She checked the bruises over and over again. Fortunately, Chu Li knew his limits and the young kid didn’t hurt his muscles and bones although the bruises looked scary.

Chu Li leaned on the door, and he had listened to their conversation. His heart ached when he heard Rong Yan say those words. How nice would it be… if their child was still alive.

That would always be a burden in Rong Yan’s heart.

“Scheming Chu, why didn’t you tell us when you came?” The young kid said to him with a smile. “Take a look at Ye Wei’s email. I want to take this case.”

Scheming Chu walked closer and checked his bruises first. Rong Yan rolled her eyes. “Do you think the child is invincible like you? Can’t you control your strength?”

“I just wanted to remind him that he’ll be more miserable than this once he falls into the hands of the old witch in the future.”
