Ye Wei sat alone on the beach and listened to the sea breeze whistling. The waves were surging and splashing violently. It was autumn and the wind in City A was exceptionally strong, especially at night. The wind blew as if it was winter. The waves roared fiercely as well, hitting the shore again and again.
That was a private beach which Chu Li had bought before coming to City A. It was a place for the core members of the terrorist organization to settle down in City A. The scenery there was beautiful and the environment was quiet. The defense was tight even when the mansion’s mechanism was switched on. The senior inspectors of the Interpol had searched for them in City A for a long time, but they couldn’t find the mansion. It was in a secretive location.
It was dark far in the distance. The only thing that could be seen was the waves hitting the rocks crazily nearby.
There was a distance between the beach and the mansion. A small lotus lamp was lit and a faint light shone on the wide beach. It looked like the ancient oil lamp with the flickering light in the wind.
The beach was very quiet and there was another lotus lamp hanging on the second floor of the mansion as well. The faint lights shown were as if they were competing with each other.
With her head resting on her knee and two bottles of beer beside her, she looked at the sea in the night quietly. One could not see the emotion in her deep eyes, but there was calm, peace, and a trace of cynicism.
Ye Wei wasn’t heavily dressed. She was in a white shirt, a pair of jeans, and a brown coat. With her long hair hanging behind her back, the sea breeze blew. Looking from above, her back view looked a little elegant but a little lonely as well.
She looked up, drank a sip of beer, and put it down. She frowned and the corners of her eyes swept back dangerously. The corners of her lips curved into a romantic arc, just like how she was like at the beginning.
There was a familiar scent in the air.
That man had slept together with her for many days. During those days, he could kiss, hug, cry, and cause trouble without reason whenever he wanted to. She had always given in to him. Perhaps it was because her subconscious knew that they would not last long. Hence, she had let both of them have their own way.
She did not have much sincerity left for him, and he didn’t have much true feelings for her either. Since everything was so fake, she didn’t want to destroy the only genuine memories they had. There were so many false memories that she felt that she should leave some good ones.
Even though he said that he didn’t need those memories.
Even though it was his only sincerity left for her in her memory.
Su Man said that there was a fault in his soul. It was considered as two separate souls and they were not the same person at all. Ye Wei sniffed. She also knew that Marshmallow and Mo Jue were very different, but she had regarded them as one person.
Everyone has a different side. Marshmallow was just another side of Mo Jue.
“Gorgeous Mo Jue, I see that you’ve come in a hurry. Are you so excited to see me?” Ye Wei said with an enchanting smile. She didn’t look back. She took a gulp of beer and almost choked on it.
The sea breeze blew and her eyes were painful from opening them for too long.
She blinked and felt that her eyes were dry.
The man behind her did not respond. Ye Wei ignored him and continued watching the waves. Mo Jue had always been an introvert and what he said was always short and brief. The probability of him initiating the conversation was almost zero. If Ye Wei did not start speaking to him, he wouldn’t start talking either.
He stood behind Ye Wei and looked at her back view. That woman sitting on the beach looked like a crazy woman who deliberately drank alcohol because she was unlucky in love, instead of being fierce like how she was usually.
But he knew that Ye Wei was not.
She was the world’s top killer, always unrestrained and nonchalant like the floating clouds in the sky. They disperse when the wind blows, then slowly gather again, moving along with the wind. They are drifting all the time and have never stayed for anyone.
Nobody was able to catch this floating cloud. She belonged to herself.
Most of the time, he was annoyed with her nonchalance and the fact that she was unrestrained. How he wished that he could break her wings and imprison her by his side. This idea was even clearer and crazier to him when one could hardly sleep at night.
She was waiting to kill him.
Mo Jue’s purple eyes were deep and the atmosphere was treacherous. It seemed that he was suppressing his anger and hiding it deliberately. Ye Wei had sensed it and she felt like laughing. It was certainly a miracle that Mo Jue could stop himself from throwing a temper despite having a bad temper and a poor patience level.
Ye Wei gulped down a few mouthfuls of beer and stood up quickly. She did not look back at all and said with a cold and mocking tone, “Since Gorgeous Mo Jue isn’t taking any action or saying anything, I’m going home to sleep.”
She waved back nonchalantly, signaling that they shouldn’t meet again in the future. Ye Wei had just taken two steps when he grabbed her by her wrist. Ye Wei got away skillfully and stabbed him in the palm with the silver needle in her hand. He closed his palm and avoided it skillfully. His gaze darkened. Mo Jue held her waist from the side and she spun and kicked him from the back. Mo Jue resolved it by shielding it with his palms and restricting her actions by holding her shoulder with his long arms. Ye Wei hit him with her hands like a blade until he loosened his hands. She was about to leave, but he embraced her into his arms, pressing her tightly on his firm chest. Ye Wei mercilessly punched him in the chest, but Mo Jue did not budge at all and hugged her tightly.
Both of them fought back and forth for several rounds with fast, ruthless, accurate, stable and powerful moves. Ye Wei’s dark eyes were filled with sarcasm, as if she was mocking something.
“Do we have to fight every time we meet?” Mo Jue asked flatly. His purple eyes looked calm, but they were like the sparks in the fireworks, extremely appalling.
Ye Wei said with a smile, “You started it first. It is called self-defense in my case.”
She snorted coldly. Mo Jue had run his hands on the places where Ye Wei could hide the chip while they were fighting. She had also touched him all over and found out that he only had a gun. The rest were all concealable weapons. He was indeed smart. She had made her moves secretively and disguised it as an ordinary fight.
See? The first reaction of people like them was always to find out how dangerous the other party was.
But the goal was so obvious that she couldn’t possibly not know it. He must have also felt it as well. ‘But, Mo Jue, although I don’t know how long you have been in this industry, I have been in it for more than ten years.’
Let’s say even if she didn’t destroy the chip as soon as she got it, she would never let Mo Jue take it away from her, unless she was dead.
“Let go!” Ye Wei said coldly. Mo Jue hugged her tightly, but she didn’t want to waste her strength to break free from him. She could only ask him to let go of her domineeringly and sternly, unlike her usual self.
Mo Jue embraced her revengefully and slammed her into his chest. Ye Wei was a little furious due to the shock. Her soft chest rubbed against his hard chest and was almost squeezed flat. Mo Jue’s breath was slightly heavy. He said coldly, “Wei Wei, I want to kill you.”
Since he didn’t want to let go, Ye Wei hooked his chin and seduced him. She kissed his Adam’s apple, licked, and bit it ambiguously with a little strength. She looked like a hungry wolf, fierce and indifferent.
“I want to kill you too!”
Her smile made her look as gorgeous as a peony, as if all the colors in the world were insignificant when compared to her. Her beauty had blinded Mo Jue, but he hid his feelings within his purple eyes. He smiled coldly and said, “Unfortunately, you can’t kill me.”
Ye Wei smiled and stayed silent. Mo Jue said, “Why didn’t you pull the trigger in Colombia that day?”
“Eleven was joking. How could you take it seriously? Gorgeous Mo Jue, if I had the chance to, would you be standing here alive right now?” Ye Wei smiled indifferently. “Don’t take yourself too seriously.”
Mo Jue was expressionless and his gaze was deep. Suddenly, he clasped her head and wanted to kiss her annoying mouth. However, he stopped just when he was an inch away from her red lips. His gaze turned ever deeper and the purple in his eyes became purer. Because they were too close to each other, his heavy and warm breath could be felt on her nose, as if trapping her in an invisible net.
Ye Wei clearly saw herself, who was smiling brightly, in that pair of purple eyes. ‘Why did he stop?’ Gorgeous Mo Jue had always been domineering. If he wanted to kiss her, he would have done it without hesitation as he had regarded her as his own. It was not his style to give up halfway.
She exhaled and smiled. “Why aren’t you kissing me? I’m waiting for you.”
Mo Jue pushed her away suddenly. His breath was a little unsteady. After taking a few deep breaths, he finally calmed down. He was good at self-control and soon suppressed the lust running in his blood.
Ye Wei was pushed away by him vigorously and she staggered for a few steps. He had pushed her real hard. Other women would have fallen on the beach. She wondered when she became a monster.
Mo Jue looked at her in silence and his gaze returned to its usual indifferent look, as cold as ever. Ye Wei folded her arms and laughed wildly. She raised her eyebrows and looked at him. “You really have hurt my heart, Gorgeous Mo Jue. Are you looking down on the girl next door now that you have seen many other pretty women?”
Mo Jue didn’t answer. He squinted slightly and stared at her lips with a darkened gaze. The treacherous look on his face was more intense and his anger was gradually rising, as if he wanted to destroy everything in his hands.
“Wei Wei, I know that your gun was pointing at me that day in Columbia,” Mo Jue said flatly. It looked as if a storm was going to break out in his purple eyes. The angrier and forbearing he was, the more beautiful that pair of eyes looked.
His words seemed to be far less attractive to her than the pair of eyes. She looked into Mo Jue’s eyes and was fascinated. How could a person be so charming? The angrier and crueler he behaved, the more charming he was.
It was definitely not because beauty was in the eye of the beholder. He was bewitching.
“Why didn’t you shoot?” Mo Jue asked flatly. “That day, I was standing in the atrium with my brother. It was easy for you to aim. If you did, I’m sure I couldn’t escape. I would have died for sure.”
Ye Wei smiled lightly. ‘He knew?’ Ye Wei thought about it again and reckoned that he should have known that. After all, the Colombian Sanctum was his territory, and Mo Jue was such a sharp person. That day, when he was talking to Big Boss Mo in the atrium, there was no one around him. It was really easy for her to aim as he was standing still. She had guessed that vaguely too.
She had loaded the gun and nearly pulled the trigger.
At that time, if she had killed Mo Jue, it would have been very easy for her to escape. But as to why she didn’t kill him… She laughed enchantingly. “I’ve decided not to kill you on a whim. So what? After all, it’s a pity if I had no rivals left in the world. Eleven won’t really fight with me, and the only people who are well-matched with me are only you and your brother. It’s only exciting to fight people who are of the same level as me. That’s the reason.”
“You lied!” Mo Jue repudiated her reason in a cold voice. He was even more furious. Ye Wei didn’t know what he was angry about or what was there to be angry about. Was it because she didn’t kill him or the fact that she wanted to kill him? Was it necessary? Didn’t he know that long ago? It was not a surprise.
His gaze was cold and heavy. “Since you didn’t kill me then because we were well-matched, why do you want to kill me now? Wei Wei, you are so flustered that even your excuses are full of loopholes.”
Ye Wei folded her arms and laughed. “Then, what do you think was my reason?”
Mo Jue’s expression remained the same, but he no longer spoke. He just looked at her deeply. His eyes seemed to be full of thousands of words that he had never said before. The ripples in his mind could not be seen and he looked calm.
Guessing someone’s heart was exhausting.
Ye Wei raised her eyebrows. “Gorgeous Mo Jue, did you come to City A just to ask me why I didn’t shoot you?”
“For the chip!” Mo Jue said in a deep voice and narrowed his eyes dangerously. “I’m going to get it!”
Ye Wei laughed evilly. “What to do? The chip will be here as long as I’m alive. I will be dead if the chip is not here. If you want to get the chip, you have to step over my dead body first.”
She spoke with determination and left no space for negotiation. Her tone was tough, cold, and was somehow challenging. There was also an emotion so complex that even she could not comprehend.
Mo Jue’s gaze darkened. He suppressed his anger and sneered. “Ye Wei, the things I want have never escaped out of my palms!”
Including you!
Mo Jue’s outlook on life was to get everything he wanted and destroy everything he couldn’t get.
Ye Wei was what he wanted. She couldn’t resist it. If she didn’t obey him, then they would go to hell together!
“You can try.” Ye Wei responded calmly, and not flustered at all. She looked as if nothing had happened. All her emotions were hidden within her. The chip had long been gone. What she wanted to bet on was nothing more than Mo Jue.
The atmosphere tensed up instantly!
His black windbreaker was blown constantly by the sea breeze, like a black hawk spreading a treacherous net behind him with its wings and wanting to devour her who was opposite him. She sneered coldly and enchantingly. It seemed that language and words between them were so pale and powerless.
Only by taking action would she feel alive!
“If I was aiming at you that day, Wei Wei, guess, would I shoot you?” Mo Jue suddenly asked with a smile. Under the faint light, his smile seemed to have a gentle arc, but also a deeper coldness. She didn’t understand what it was.
It was just that his smile was scary.
Mo Jue seldom smiled. He was not like Marshmallow who smiled foolishly all day long. Even if he laughed, it was nothing more than just a cold sneer. Ye Wei had not seen any other obvious expressions besides his expressionless and sneering face.
His smile was very frightening.
