Four days later, when London’s alert was weak, he took her out of London after all and set out from the London port to the Middle East. It was already a little late when Chu Li and Bai Ye had received the news. The young kid regretted it. If he had not overestimated his ability, he would have found them already.
However, there was no use regretting. Once out of London, Mo Jue was like a fish that has leaped through the dragon’s gate1. If he reached the Middle East, he would have plenty of ways to hide from people. It would then be more difficult to find Mo Jue and Ye Wei.
In fact, it was not surprising that Chu Li and Bai Ye had received the news late for the past four days. Firstly, someone was helping Mo Jue hide his whereabouts. Secondly, Silver Face had been brazenly active in London. He had planned to assassinate Chu Li, Bai Ye, and Black J when they were out, and he almost killed Bai Ye and Black J, which was extremely dangerous. In addition to the fact that Silver Face had successfully got past them, experts including those from the Interpol and the anti-terrorist group were gathered all over London. It was very inconvenient to move around, and they couldn’t act rashly or do anything as they wanted like they had done a few days before. Anyway, the safety of the headquarters was the most important thing since the foundation couldn’t be shaken. This gave Mo Jue space and time to relax for a moment.
In fact, everyone later understood that it was a trick. Those cultural relics were indeed a bait to distract them. It was true that Mo Jue would take risks for them, but it was more for Ye Wei. He had started planning when Silver Face had arrived in London, making it difficult for them to resist the attack of so many people.
It couldn’t be denied that he was extremely meticulous.
When they were still in London, they could still be a little more confident. However, they were out of London now and it wouldn’t be easy for them to look them up openly again. Chu Li and others were still worried that Mo Jue would really do the extreme and die together with Ye Wei. It didn’t matter if he died, but they did not want anything wrong to happen to Ye Wei.
Therefore, Chu Li removed all tracking devices and only kept a few people in the Middle East in order not to alarm the Mo brothers.
One thing that Chu Li and Bai Ye felt weird was that since Mo Jue took Ye Wei, where did Eleven go? They had not heard any news of Eleven right from the start and it seemed like everything had turned weird and complex like a chess game ever since they had entered the castle.
When Ye Wei and Eleven left, the happiest person was definitely Fang Ying. She could now start fighting with Rong Yan without fear and without worrying that Ye Wei and Eleven would get involved. She was more confident and it was only a matter of time before she forced Rong Yan to leave using her means.
Due to the disappearance of Ye Wei and Eleven, the young kid’s plan to return to England was advanced. Chu Li was afraid that his life would be in danger if he continued to live alone in City A. He had asked him to come to London immediately. The young kid also felt that he had been in the Zhang family for too long. It was time to leave.
The situation had begun to be a little tense lately. It appeared to be calm, but in fact, the tide was turbulent. Commander Zhang could sense it even if he did not step out of his house. The old man knew why the young kid had chosen to leave at this particular timing.
But he didn’t stop him!
When Xu Xing saw that the young kid was leaving, she planned to go back to England with him and made a fuss out of it. Zhang Wanyan had no choice but to agree. After Jiang Lixue had talked to the young kid about Xu Xing, his attitude toward her had improved a lot, which made the young girl like him even more. It was right and proper for her to want to return to her home, so he was not in the position to stop or oppose her. Therefore, Xu Xing thought that he had given his silent consent and was very happy.
The Zhang family sent the two children on the plane to London together. Accompanied by Zhang Wanyan, Xu Xing kept chattering all the way, asking the young kid about his residence in London, whether he could go to play together, and what school he was going to be enrolled in, and so on. The young kid kept quiet and answered her half-heartedly. He didn’t say much and Xu Xing was disappointed.
She had thought that both of them could have more chances to meet up if they were in London. She was upset that his attitude was cold and indifferent. Along the way, she had fought hard to know his address and school. However, the young kid ignored her. With a straight face, he asked flatly, “Do you know that you are very noisy?”
Xu Xing did not dare to talk any more. She turned silent and pouted for nearly ten hours. Zhang Wanyan shook her head. She was also too lazy to take care of the children’s affairs and thought that children caused trouble often anyway.
When the plane landed at the airport, the young kid called Bai Ye. He was already waiting outside. At the same time, Bai Ye wore a white shirt, a pair of jeans, and sunglasses. With his black hair, he looked smart, cool, but indifferent. Even among the tall Westerners, he stood out from the crowd and the young kid saw him at a glance. In order to keep a low profile, he was the only one who went to pick him up.
“I finally got to see you, baby.” Upon meeting the young kid, Bai Ye gave a rare smile and hugged him for a while before letting him go.
The young kid was already used to it and only kicked him a few times in protest.
Among these people, he was best friends with Chu Li at first. Then, after interacting with Bai Ye more often, the young kid liked him a lot and wouldn’t even resist even if he touched him.
“I wasn’t away for long.” The young kid smiled. Just then, Zhang Wanyan and Xu Xing caught up with him. The young kid said, “I shall leave now.”
Xu Xing panicked and took the young kid’s hand. “Ning Ning, you haven’t told me where you live. How can I visit you?”
Bai Ye raised his eyebrows. The young kid smiled faintly and said, “No need. I like a quiet environment. I will go to you when I have time.”
“You’re lying!” Xu Xing pouted. Children’s eyes don’t lie. She could tell when he was lying or when he was telling the truth.
He said he would look for her when he had time. It would never happen.
“You must hate me. You don’t want to see me again, do you? Why don’t you tell me where you live? I won’t bother you.”
‘You have been very annoying,’ the young kid thought in his heart. But, he did not show his mood and just said lightly, “Xu Xing, I came to London for serious business. Can you stop asking me about it? Go home!”
Xu Xing’s eyes were red and she was about to cry. Zhang Wanyan said, “Ning Ning, give me your address. I’ll have to report to my elder cousin too.”
“I’ll call godmom later.” The young kid declined her calmly.
Bai Ye chuckled and pulled him away. Suddenly, a beautiful female voice could be heard shouting. “Xing Xing…”
Xu Xing’s eyes brightened and she ran to the beautiful woman with open arms. “Mommy…”
The young kid narrowed his eyes. She was escorted by two tall bodyguards and was dressed elegantly. Her Chinese and Western blood gave her a special style and she had a delicate make-up. Both Xu Nuo and Xu Xing looked like her.
He sneered and had no interest in the drama of the reunion of the mother and daughter. He brushed past Bai Ye and said, “Let’s go!”
When Xu Xing remembered about him, Bai Ye and the young kid had long gone. She cried sadly while Xu Nuo’s mother coaxed her, hoping that she would smile.
…
When he got in the car, Bai Ye took him straight to the castle. Back in the city that he was most familiar with, the young kid felt as though he had left that place for very long. In fact, he had only left London for half a year.
He was back again!
As compared to London, he preferred City A’s weather. However, he liked living in London more. It was a sense of belonging. Although he was not born in England, he had grown up there and felt more comfortable there as compared to his motherland. In the years to come, London would surely occupy an important position in his heart.
The terrorist organization had its headquarters in London. Everything was fated.
“Do you feel strange?” Bai Ye asked with a smile. He knew that he had not been away for long.
“I don’t feel strange. I’m just used to the sunshine and not used to the sudden cloudiness.” The young kid joked.
“It’s okay. Don’t worry if it’s cloudy. We’re used to the dark.” Bai Ye’s smile was meaningful.
The young kid knew what he meant and laughed it off.
“Was that the queen’s granddaughter just now?” He could recognize her at a glance. Ross had mentioned it before and he had also seen her in the interview. He felt that she might be hard to get close. He didn’t expect that she would appear at the airport to pick up her daughter.
“Yup!” The young kid wasn’t in a good mood.
Bai Ye didn’t say anything much and drove him all the way back.
Four days later, Mo Jue and Ye Wei entered the Middle East.
It was evening when Ye Wei woke up. She was not used to the light at once. Even though there was no sunshine in the cabin and it was near dusk, the sunset was infinitely beautiful. Judging from how her body was shaking and the sound of the waves, she guessed that they were on the sea.
Then, she recalled what had happened clearly, especially what had happened before she fainted. She smiled coldly and moved her limbs. Nothing felt different.
Only a little sore.
She then saw the needle traces on her arm and the back of her hand. Her pupils shrank. There was nothing in the cabinet beside her. What did Mo Jue inject her with?
She was a little scared, but she didn’t know how long it had been like that. She was worried about the safety of Eleven. Ye Wei helped herself up and laid her feet on the ground. Her feet were a little sore. Ye Wei tried to move her arms again and they felt sore as well. She confirmed that there was nothing weird before she could be completely relieved.
The cabin was very quiet. She went up the escalator and arrived at the deck within a few moments. The boundless sea was covered with a light layer of gold, which made it look very beautiful.
Mo Jue stood on the deck alone. The setting sun made his shadow look very long. Wearing black and standing under the sunlight, he looked like a lonely eagle. A very lonely one. It seemed that he could always make people feel bad for him under certain circumstances.
Ye Wei sneered coldly and didn’t think so.
What loneliness? It had nothing to do with her. She looked around and there was only the sea. She couldn’t tell where she was and couldn’t help but ask in a cold voice, “Where is this?”
Mo Jue did not look back but stood with his hands tucked behind. Looking into the distance, he looked as if his dreams and future were there. He didn’t even budge. She inevitably turned angry and shouted. “Mo Jue!”
“The Mediterranean!” The faint voice of Mo Jue came with the sea breeze. His tone was slightly cold. “You woke up faster than I thought!”
“Where’s Eleven?”
“Dead!”
