Mo Jue’s Mansion.
Ye Wei spent her days in the mansion going online, playing games, reading novels, and looking up information about the firearms market and world of hitmen. She, in her interest, tried to take on the internal defenses of others. Ye Wei’s computer skills, although borne out of special training, could not be compared to skilled experts like the Mo brothers and Ning Ning. She, however, was still a remarkable hacker who was comparable to the middle-tier international hackers and was a substantial threat when attacking somebody else’s internal defenses.
She was extremely bored and took on whichever triad she did not like. One had to know that most international triads had their own complete internal defenses with their own experts manning them that were hard to break into. Ye Wei, who was a thrill-seeker, had Mo Jue to fall back on if she lost since nobody could counter-track Ye Wei.
When Mo Jue returned from Mo Ye’s mansion, Ye Wei happened to be challenging the internal defenses of the terrorist organization. She accurately guessed the decryption and secret codes and reached the innermost section. Just as she managed to glean Jason’s information, her screen suddenly went black and a series of cryptic codes flashed across the screen. The screen then displayed another image of a virtual city as the terrorist organization got down to counter-tracking her.
Ye Wei whistled. She had been challenging the internal defenses of the international triads for the past few days and was successful enough to break through and view their classified information. Mo Jue would often use his computer skills to take a sneak peek at others’ secrets and could effectively collaborate with them and maximize his illegal gains. He knew that Ye Wei was a fun-lover and would get tired of doing the same. Since such thrill-seeking escapades would help her kill time, Mo Jue hence did not stop her.
It was afraid that he did not expect Ye Wei to take on the terrorist organization.
While her memory was wiped, her skills were not. Although Ye Wei knew that Mo Jue was hiding something from her, she did not distrust Mo Jue and could sense that Mo Jue genuinely liked her. Ye Wei was willing to forgive such a minor transgression unless she was foolish enough to suspect what Mo Jue was hiding from her.
She wanted to look up what Mo Jue was unwilling to tell her. Eleven belonged to the terrorist organization while she did not. As long as she managed to access the terrorist organization’s network, she would know whether there was information.
When Mo Jue went to see Mo Ye, she used the window of opportunity but did not expect her opponent to intercept her and counter-attack her once she saw Jason’s information.
Ye Wei was extremely confident of her abilities and was thinking of merely hiding or escaping if she was discovered. If she was defeated, there was always a second time. Since the reputation of the terrorist organization was as it was, people would not simply breach its information security apparatus. She was wrong this time. She, in precedent, continued challenging the organization and adopted delaying tactics to delay the opponent and spread her opponents’ focus.
Little did she expect herself to be utterly defeated after a few rounds in under five minutes. “No way!?” Ye Wei stared in disbelief.
When she tangled with others previously, she would be able to duke it out with the other party for hundreds of rounds over two hours. If she was willing, she could tangle with her opponent for a whole morning. She was instead defeated in a few minutes.
Beautiful Ye Wei was unwilling to simply give in and continued fighting. Her opponent seemed to have figured out her M.O. and quickly defeated her.
Quick, hard-hitting, accurate—if this were the battlefield, her opponent did not expend any unnecessary effort.
F***, who the damn heck was so bada**?
“Who are you?!” Ye Wei could not ask.
“Haven’t you learned to identify yourself????” the other party replied.
Ye Wei’s eyes twitched at the number of question marks at the end of her opponent’s reply. “Mafia…” She could not help but reply.
“What a rookie we have here. P*** off for I have no time for you,” came the reply.
Rookie????
Ye Wei stared in immense disbelief at how she was called a rookie. She was willing to bet that this was the first time she was called a rookie after spending so many years on the island.
‘F*** this! I’m gonna waste you!’ Ye Wei did all she could to try to attack her opponent, but her opponent was unfazed.
“Challenge me at your own demise,” was the reply.
‘Do I look like I grew up being shocked into coercion?’ Ye Wei harrumphed in indignation and changed her tactics. She took her opponent on again but was defeated in moments.
A bloody picture of what seemed like a virtual explosion suddenly flashed across the screen like a prophecy. Ye Wei was extremely shocked and realized that her internal defenses were gradually crumbling.
Her face suddenly changed. Game over! Since Mo Jue designed this internal defense system as well as the Mafia’s internal defense system, all the information would have been lost if Mo Jue was not present when somebody else attacked.
She secretly cursed at how she must have encountered a tough nut.
Ye Wei quickly hammered away on the keyboard and keyed in all the commands she knew could defuse the situation. They were to no avail and could not stop the offensive her opponent was waging that ate at her defenses.
F*** this man. You’re too bada**.
“Gorgeous Mo Jue, help!” Ye Wei closed her eyes and screamed. If Gorgeous Mo Jue did not return, she would be at her opponent’s mercy.
The screen suddenly became scrambled, and all the commands on the screen intersected each other in a mess and continually scrolled on the screen. Ye Wei was dazed from the rolling commands and beads of sweat broke out on her forehead.
A flurry of footsteps suddenly followed and Mo Jue’s slightly panicked look was reflected on the screen. When Ye Wei was about to rejoice, the computer suddenly gave a series of warning beeps. Mo Jue’s face changed. Ye Wei quickly stood up and pulled Mo Jue to sit down. “I was attached,” she said in a panic.
Mo Jue did not ask anything and he sternly looked at the rolling commands on the screen. He suddenly turned to look at Ye Wei as though she was an idiot. Ye Wei had an innocent look on her face. Could she be blamed?
“What nonsense is this!” Mo Jue grumbled as though he disliked what he saw. Ye Wei hit Mo Jue’s head, and Mo Jue then stopped grumbling and punched a series of commands into the keyboard again.
A moment later, the screen became normal. Ye Wei extremely worshipped how the experts made it all seem like a child’s play. Ye Wei tapped Mo Jue’s shoulders and cheered him on. “Gorgeous Mo Jue, waste him! He just humiliated me!”
Mo Jue looked at her flatly as though she was the first to call the kettle black.
“You don’t believe me?” Ye Wei accused him.
Mo Jue shook his head. He clearly knew that given Ye Wei’s character, he could not afford to ponder on the question for long.
“Whose internal defense is this?”
“The terrorist organization.”
Mo Jue’s hands paused and he turned to look at Ye Wei with a chilling gaze. Ye Wei’s heart thumped and she forced herself to be calm. “Why are you looking at me in this manner? Can’t I take them on?”
Mo Jue’s gaze was cold and solemn, and no typical person would have met his gaze. Ye Wei’s facade was about to give away when a word flashed across the screen.
Was there somebody else? Was the game about to continue?
A cute animation of a little piglet shaking its buttocks followed the word.
Mo Jue’s and Ye Wei’s eyes twitched simultaneously.
“Gorgeous Mo Jue, waste him.” This person was really brazen. She gritted her teeth. He was much more brazen than the most brazen she had encountered. He was clearly counter-provoking her.
Mo Jue looked back and said, “I can’t.”
“Why? Aren’t you the expert in this field?”
“There are a fair number of equal competitors in each field,” Mo Jue replied calmly as he quietly backed out of the terrorist organization’s internal defenses and stopped attacking them. Taking on somebody’s internal defenses was nothing short of boring unless they wanted to steal some information.
Ye Wei was purely killing time out of boredom.
But why did she, of all people, decided to challenge the terrorist organization?
Mo Jue had managed to access their internal networks many times secretly. These secret attempts were why Mo Ye and he knew that the infamous Ye Wei and Eleven belonged to the terrorist organization.
When they previously dealt with the organization, they needed the information in advance to stop the terrorist organization’s internal networks for them. All this was before the other side had the young prodigy called Ye Ningyuan.
The terrorist organization’s information security was their most critical segment, and the young kid started being responsible for the terrorist organization’s information security since last year. Since then, Mo Jue rarely accessed their internal networks.
There were a few times he managed to gain access, albeit not as sneakily as before, that ended up in his attempts being discovered. The terrorist organization hence improved its systems and Mo Jue was almost unable to access its systems since two months ago.
Unless Mo Jue took on Ning Ning in an all-or-nothing battle, his odds were not the highest either. He hence did not dare to act in a high profile. Mo Jue was never the person to act rashly and alert the enemy by challenging Ning Ning in an all-or-nothing battle.
He was willing to bet that Ye Ningyuan, from his M.O and figures of speech, was certainly the person who had intercepted Ye Wei earlier.
“So you do lose too.” Ye Wei laughed without showing face as though she had made an amazing discovery whilst she hugged Mo Jue’s neck. “If you can’t win, stop saying that you are equals with them.”
Ye Wei’s laughter left Mo Jue utterly embarrassed, and Mo Jue decided to simply grab Ye Wei’s wrist and cause Ye Wei to fall onto him in a sitting position. He held her neck, pulled it toward himself, and silenced her laughter by planting his lips on hers.
He kissed extremely aggressively. The tip of his tongue twisted about while he tried to kiss as deeply as he could. Ye Wei was a little infuriated at how barbaric he got and hit him. He only let go of her after he had his fill and grunted. “Don’t laugh.”
Ye Wei looked at him while gritting her teeth. “You’re utterly barbaric!” She judged him.
Mo Jue grunted, satisfied with her in his embrace. Ye Wei was long used to being in his embrace and allowed him to be since resistance was futile. “Wei Wei, don’t you get tired of remaining here?” Mo Jue asked.
“It’s still fine. What’s up?”
“We’re moving to another place tomorrow,” Mo Jue said as he looked at her deeply. “It’s also a small island that looks as beautiful as here but is even more bustling.”
“Are you a fugitive?” Ye Wei long guessed it.
“That’s a terrible way to put it.” Mo Jue coldly harrumphed. “My brother does not want anybody to discover our tracks.”
“That’s like a fugitive.” Ye Wei insisted on her perspective while she silently acknowledged Mo Jue’s point of view without dissenting.
Mo Jue suddenly felt extremely fortunate as he did not stand against Ye Wei like an utterly bruised Eleven and Mo Ye despite the many issues they had yet to resolve.
He was extremely fortunate.
He held Ye Wei’s hands and gently caressed her slender fingers. Ye Wei’s hand was not the most beautiful. Her fingers were slender but not straight thanks to her somewhat larger knuckles. Most people who practiced martial arts would have similar hands. A look at these hands suggested they were powerful.
Ye Wei looked at him in slight bewilderment. When did this guy have a 180-degree change in character and become this hedonistic? His transformation was pretty frightening.
“Wei Wei, what if I really end up on the run someday? Will you follow me?” Mo Jue suddenly asked her.
“Will there be such a day? Who could force you to be on the run?” Ye Wei assumed that he was joking.
“I said if.” Mo Jue hugged her and suddenly tightened his hug. He had a solemn look and did not seem to be joking.
Ye Wei retracted her smile. “If you are on the run someday, will you bring me along?”
“Yes!” Mo Jue replied decisively.
“Let’s not get married then.” Ye Wei shrugged. Mo Jue suddenly understood and his frown eased.
Ye Wei kissed him, opened her hands, and hugged his neck as she laughed. “Mo Jue, why do you always seem so insecure? You’ve everything but just lack that sense of security.”
He was thankful that said woman was her who was strong enough to endure his occasional tests. Other women would have duped him long ago.
“What utter nonsense.” Mo Jue did not admit it and looked at the computer screen instead. “What did you see earlier?” he asked.
“You mean the terrorist organization? I did not get to see anything but a picture of a golden-mane lion called Jason. I was intercepted before I could clearly read the information. Our opponent is such a sob!”
“You took on somebody else and did not allow them to retaliate. What reasoning is that?”
“The Ye family’s guide to reasoning.”
Mo Jue harrumphed. Ye Wei recalled Meng Lianling and asked, “Isn’t Meng Lianling still hospitalized? Will she leave with us?”
“She’ll leave later.”
“She’ll hate me to the core. I shot her, and your brother has not settled that score with me.”
“Relax. You have me.”
