"Don't get ahead of yourself. No matter what, I am an enforcement officer, and it's impossible for me to just let someone go. But don't worry, as long as you didn't do anything wrong, I will do my best to help you clear your name," Ji Yue emphasized. "I don't care what your identity is, Mo Ming, or Williams Mo, or whatever else. I believe in your character!"
"Well, thank you for Captain Ji's trust. Indeed, I didn't cause that explosion; I was just a victim," Mo Ming replied with a slight smile. "Don't ask me who did it; you won't be able to deal with him or find him."
"Oh? Who? I find it hard to believe there’s anyone we can’t catch," Ji Yue joked. "We can even invite someone as powerful as you for tea; how could we not invite him?"
"Captain Ji is joking. I'm a law-abiding citizen and very cooperative with your work. But he is different; he's a ruthless killer. It's best if you don't provoke him. If you do, the next bomb might end up in your police station."
"Uh, are you exaggerating? I still can't believe that our efforts are all in vain."
Ji Yue was momentarily stunned but then shook her head with a wry smile. Mo Ming's words were indeed a bit exaggerated, yet Ji Yue felt no discomfort because she saw that Mo Ming's expression was serious and not joking.
"I don't deny the value of your existence. Indeed, without your work, society would become chaotic. However, some people are outlaws who don't care about life or death; what is there to fear?"
Mo Ming had good intentions; finding a killer like Hebrew was quite difficult, let alone capturing him. It could lead to unnecessary casualties.
"Alright, I agree with your point. Those outlaws are indeed the hardest for the law to punish, yet they are also the ones who kill mercilessly and disrupt stability. Just thinking about it gives me a headache."
Ji Yue covered her head and shook it slightly, clearly feeling a bit of a headache. She was worried about Mo Ming provoking a terrifying outlaw in Nanhua City and the safety of its citizens.
"Hey, Captain Ji doesn't need to worry so much," Mo Ming said with a chuckle. "Those who cannot be punished by law often need to be dealt with through other means. I assure you that this person is my problem; I'll take care of it myself, but I don’t want you involved."
A strange glint flashed in Ji Yue's eyes as she stared intently at Mo Ming. Before she could speak, Mo Ming interjected, "Really, it's not that I'm being dishonest; I just don’t want you to lose your life over this."
"Uh..."
Ji Yue was taken aback, speechless. She never expected Mo Ming to say such an emotional thing to her, which made her heart skip a beat. Suddenly, she felt a warm current of concern flowing within her.
The boy in front of her actually said he didn't want her to lose her life. This was a form of protection. For many years, she had learned to protect herself and didn't need anyone around her to provide that protection. Yet now, she found that feeling of being cared for again with Mo Ming, which made Ji Yue feel inexplicably good.
“Captain Ji, what are you thinking so seriously about?”
Seeing Ji Yue lost in thought and not saying a word, Mo Ming waved his hand in front of her, which finally snapped her out of that feeling. Realizing she had been daydreaming again, her face turned slightly red.
Mo Ming noticed the change in her expression and was a bit surprised. “Um, is it hot in this room? Why is your face so red?”
Hearing this, Ji Yue hurriedly touched her slightly warm cheeks and shook her head. “It's nothing. I just thought of something, nothing important. Um, where were we?”
“Right, we were talking about how I don't want you to lose your life over this matter. So, can you not interfere and let me handle it completely?” Mo Ming asked with a hint of inquiry. “Currently, he is only targeting me. If you all get involved, it might lead to many innocent lives being harmed. Please don’t interfere; that way the damage can be minimized.”
“I'll think about it,” Ji Yue replied with a slight smile. “If you don’t want to talk about it now, I won’t press further. However, if he does something outrageous, I can't just stand by; I must take action.”
“Hehe, I understand. Don’t worry; I will try my best to handle it properly,” Mo Ming nodded.
“Mo Ming, I'm really curious about your identity. Not only do you have great skills, but you're also a major shareholder of Phoenix Grand Hotel. All these identities are truly surprising; it's almost making my eyes pop out.”
Ji Yue looked at Mo Ming up and down with curiosity, a smile playing on her lips. That smile was natural; back then, Mo Ming thought it would never be resolved. However, in reality, no one could always be smiling. You should know,
“Curious?”
Ji Yue nodded, "I'm really curious, but if you want to say something, go ahead. If you don't want to, then don't. This isn't an interrogation; there's no need to answer my question. It's just a personal matter for me."
"If you ask me this in an official capacity, I definitely won't answer you."
After a pause, Mo Ming's lips curved slightly as he said, "However, if you ask me personally, I can tell you a bit. I used to be a soldier. Regardless of whether I'm in the military or not, I still consider myself a soldier. The mission of a soldier is to protect the country, so I won't do anything that harms national interests."
While Mo Ming spoke, Ji Yue was staring intently into his eyes without a hint of wavering. This indicated that Mo Ming was not lying. In Ji Yue's mind, the eyes cannot deceive; however, Mo Ming could. Nevertheless, his words were indeed true.
National interests always come first in the heart of a soldier. Mo Ming had this awareness, but no matter how the country treated him, he could never retaliate against it. Moreover, his father was a high-ranking general in the country; how could he do something that would embarrass his father?
"With your words, I'm relieved. I won't pry into this matter as long as you can handle it quickly and ensure that the safety of the citizens' lives and property isn't greatly harmed. I can overlook it," Ji Yue maintained his natural smile.
"Come on, if you overlook it, wouldn't that make you one-eyed? How ugly!" Mo Ming chuckled.
Ji Yue burst into laughter and said, "You really can say anything! I'm impressed. Alright then, sit for a while. Once there's evidence proving you're not the one who planted the bomb or no evidence accusing you of planting it, you can leave."
"Sit? Can I just lie down and take a nap?" Mo Ming said with a wry smile and yawned, feeling a bit tired. "I've been up all night; I'm really exhausted and just need to rest my eyes for a bit."
After saying that, Mo Ming ignored Ji Yue's attitude and directly lay down on the table to sleep. He was truly tired; after tossing and turning all night, even a deity couldn't withstand the overwhelming drowsiness—let alone Mo Ming, who was just an ordinary person!
...
After an unknown amount of time had passed, Mo Ming felt someone patting his back. He immediately lifted his head and opened his sleepy eyes. Upon seeing the person in front of him, he smiled and said, "Yuan, what brings you here?"
The person who arrived was Lin Yuan'er, her face filled with concern as she looked at Mo Ming's bloodshot eyes, unable to smile. With a frown, she said, "Miss Ji Yue asked me to come over. She said you were here, so I came."
"Well, Yuan, that expression doesn't suit you at all. I think a smile is what truly fits you; looking worried is really unattractive!" Mo Ming continued to smile as he stood up and playfully pinched Lin Yuan'er's nose.
Without saying a word, Lin Yuan'er immediately hugged Mo Ming tightly, burying her head in his embrace. "Brother Mo, really, why do you have to make yourself look so miserable? We could just avoid him; there's no need to deal with him."
"Uh, Yuan, I'm sorry for making you worry. But I can't run away. Besides, no matter where I escape to now, he will follow. There's no way to shake him off. The only solution is to deal with him!"
Mo Ming gently placed his hands on Lin Yuan'er's back and hugged her a little tighter, feeling the warmth of her breath against him.
"Ahem..."
A deliberate cough interrupted Mo Ming and Lin Yuan'er's embrace, causing both of them to awkwardly pull away and look over. It was Ji Yue, a playful smile creeping onto her lips as she said, "You two should save the sweetness for home; it's not appropriate in public."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan'er's face turned bright red with shyness, resembling that of a child. She slightly lowered her head but unconsciously held onto Mo Ming's hand.
Mo Ming had a thicker skin; he felt a bit embarrassed but only smiled at Ji Yue's teasing. "Captain Ji, can I leave now?"
"You can leave anytime now. You had only been asleep for a short while when Xiao Wei returned. There’s no evidence to detain or arrest you. However, since you were sleeping so soundly, I didn’t want to disturb you," Ji Yue replied as she looked at Lin Yuan'er. "This guy might really be tired; he fell asleep like a pig the moment he lay down. You better keep an eye on him and not let him wander off."
"Yes, I know. Brother Mo must rest today; otherwise, hum hum, Yuan'er will get very angry!" Lin Yuan'er looked at Mo Ming and playfully pouted before turning to Ji Yue and saying, "Thank you for letting me know, Miss Ji Yue."
"You're welcome." Ji Yue then looked at Mo Ming and added, "Be careful; don’t let unresolved troubles catch up with you."
"I know this, so there's no need to trouble Captain Ji with it. Since everything is clear now, I won't stay here any longer. I'm leaving first, goodbye." After saying that, Mo Ming and Lin Yuan'er walked away together.
Once they got into Lin Yuan'er's car, Mo Ming asked, "Where are we going now?"
"Do I even need to ask?" Lin Yuan'er shot Mo Ming a fierce glare and said, "Of course, we're finding a place for you to rest. Do you want to sleep on the street? I told you, no matter what happens today, you need to get a good night's sleep!"
Mo Ming smiled wryly and shook his head. "Well then, let's go to the Phoenix Grand Hotel. I have my private room there."
"Alright, as long as you're willing to rest, anywhere is fine."
Lin Yuan'er immediately started the vehicle and drove toward the Phoenix Grand Hotel.
"Hey, can you stay with me?" Mo Ming said with a mischievous grin. "I like to hold someone while I sleep; it makes me feel more secure and sleep better!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan'er realized what Mo Ming was up to and her face instantly turned hot, blushing beautifully like the sunset. She playfully scolded, "Oh dear, Brother Mo, why have you become so naughty?"
"I've always been like this; you just didn't notice."
