Mo Fei shook her head, put down the fork she was using to eat instant noodles, and sat with her legs crossed. “I’ve always thought that Mo Tian’s dead because I killed him with my own hands.” After Mo Fei finished speaking, she looked up at Ye Cong. “However, I received a message last night. I’m sure it’s him, but how are you so sure that Mo Tian isn’t dead? And that you must find him?”
It was rare that the two did not bare their teeth at each other. Perhaps because they were currently on the same side, they decided to have a proper talk with each other about this.
“Didn’t Yuwei tell you?” Ye Cong asked.
Ye Yuwei?
After thinking for a while, Mo Fei suddenly remembered that Ye Yuwei once asked her about Mo Tian. She told Mo Fei that Mo Tian burned dozens of children and the Matron in the orphanage to death.
“You—” Mo Fei’s lips twitched. She wanted to say how horrifying this man was.
The great Ye Cong was also an orphan.
“It seems like Yuwei trusts you more than Qian Yikun trusts you.” Ye Cong’s words were spitefully mocking.
Mo Fei was pricked by the invisible needle that left no trace and chose to continue eating her instant noodles eventually.
“The Bai family was very powerful back then. Not even Cheng Jie dared to ask anyone else to do it, so he went to Mo Tian. I think that was also the main reason how Mo Tian was able to start training killers for his organization of assassins after receiving his first large sum of money. However, he killed everyone in the orphanage, he must pay the price,” As Ye Cong said that, the remote control in his hand started to emit a clicking sound.
Mo Fei, “…”
“I didn’t expect you to be someone with feelings.” Mo Fei clicked her tongue and did not even bother to mock him anymore.
That was probably Ye Cong’s only display of emotions.
“I’m certain that Mo Tian isn’t dead.” If he was not certain about that, Ye Cong would not have treated Mo Fei that way in the first place. However, now he was certain that Mo Fei was in the dark too.
Before the remote control was destroyed, Mo Fei snatched the remote over to turn on the television again.
“It’s already the first day of the month today, and it’ll be the fifth at the latest. Those children will be sent out of B City, and it’ll be difficult to find them then,” Mo Fei frowned as she said that. They had alerted the enemy even though they planned to capture them all at once.
Right now, Mo Tian had his eyes on her and her family, so she had to risk everything.
Initially, she had wanted to steal Qian Yikun’s defensive map and then use their wedding to capture the people from that organization. However, the situation had developed completely out of her control. She obtained the defensive map, but her wedding with Qian Yikun went down the drain. Her previous efforts seemed to have been in vain.
That did not seem right either. At least she had seen through her relationship with Qian Yikun. It was somewhat heartbreaking.
“This time, are you and Mo Qi planning to sacrifice yourselves along with the mastermind?” This time, Ye Cong did not pull the remote back. He leaned back lazily on the sofa and voiced his speculation.
Mo Fei turned around to look at him before switching to another channel reporting about Ding Junqi.
“There’s a better way to lure them out.”
When she heard that, she turned to look at Ye Cong. “What?”
“Marry me.”
“Pfft—” Mo Fei could not help but spit out all the instant noodles in her mouth. This was all because she was too agitated.
Ye Cong, “…”
Ye Cong grabbed the tissue on the table with disgust written all over his face. “Mo Fei, you’re disgusting.”
Mo Fei reached out to wipe the instant noodles off the corner of her lips and sneered, “Why don’t you talk about how scary you are?”
