For several days, there had been no news, and Mo Ming was beginning to think that Hebrew had been killed by that gunshot. This made Mo Ming accompany Lin Yuan'er on various outings, exhausting him. However, accompanying Lin Yuan'er was not solely for her protection; it was also about being with her.
Having promised to make Lin Yuan'er happy, Mo Ming was not the kind of person to be heartless. He had previously avoided the marriage with Lin Yuan'er mainly because he still remembered Qingmeng and worried that he could not provide the happiness she needed.
However, Lin Yuan'er's words gradually changed Mo Ming's perspective. Qingmeng had left, completely gone. Love could only be a memory of longing, and Lin Yuan'er naturally became his wife. Therefore, he should try to accept Lin Yuan'er rather than evade her.
Moreover, after experiencing so much together recently, Mo Ming had already seen many things clearly and genuinely developed feelings for Lin Yuan'er from the bottom of his heart, rather than forcing himself to accept her out of responsibility.
Today was a rare workday. Mo Ming sat in the chair at Starry Rhythm Advertising Company, stretching lazily. He had just won an exciting game and was enjoying this leisurely time without the need to go shopping; it felt incredibly comfortable!
At that moment, Lin Yuan'er approached, holding onto Mo Ming's chair with a slight smile and said, "Brother Mo, are you playing games again? Don't you have any work to do today?"
"If I don't play games, I'll be bored to death. At most, I'm just a nominal vice president. Do you think there's any work for me to do here?" As soon as Mo Ming finished speaking, he suddenly thought of something and quickly corrected himself, saying, "Well, there is work... Okay, there isn't any work. Do you want to go shopping again?"
Mo Ming initially wanted to change his answer to say he had work because he understood the intent behind Lin Yuan'er's question. However, seeing her disbelieving expression forced him to admit that he had no work to do. He secretly lamented that this rare leisurely day would be taken away from him.
"That's good! I saw a house online. If we have no plans today, let's go take a look at it," Lin Yuan'er said with a pleading look in her eyes, appearing quite pitiful.
Lin Yuan'er had discussed buying a house with Mo Ming before. She felt that living in someone else's home all the time was inconvenient for them as a couple, so they decided to buy a place of their own. Mo Ming agreed and naturally would not refuse.
"Alright then, I'll let Murong Lian know," Mo Ming nodded.
Lin Yuan'er held onto Mo Ming's arm and said, "No need! I've already told Sister Lian. Let's go see it now. If it doesn't suit us, we can look for other houses."
With that, Lin Yuan'er linked arms with Mo Ming and left. When they reached the parking lot, Mo Ming drove Lin Yuan'er's car out of the lot. However, he did not notice that as he drove away from the parking lot, several pairs of eyes were watching him leave.
“Brother Mo, what do you think of this house? The location is quite secluded and peaceful. Most importantly, it's close to Sister Lian's Hillside Mansion, so if anything happens, it will be convenient for you to protect her,” Lin Yuan'er said, glancing at the well-furnished house.
“It mainly depends on whether you like it or not; you don't need to accommodate me,” Mo Ming replied, looking at the house and smiling. “This place is not bad; we can consider whether to buy it.”
“Of course I like it! The environment here is great, and I really enjoy this classical structure. After visiting so many houses, this one is my favorite,” she exclaimed.
The agent, Yan Gaofei, was a middle-aged man with a Mediterranean hairstyle and gold-rimmed glasses. His eyes were lecherous as he occasionally glanced at Lin Yuan'er's figure.
Upon hearing Lin Yuan'er’s words, he immediately stood up and smiled, “Such a beautiful lady has great taste. The layout of this house is very well thought out, and the feng shui is excellent; it's a symbol of great fortune.”
True to his sleazy appearance, he couldn't help but sneak glances at Lin Yuan'er's impressive figure while swallowing hard.
His actions were well concealed, but Mo Ming noticed every move he made and felt a flicker of disgust in his eyes.
“Enough with the nonsense; just tell me how much this house costs. I want it,” Mo Ming said in a low voice.
Yan Gaofei smiled self-importantly, but Mo Ming found him even more repulsive and coldly said, “Just give me the price; stop with the ridiculous smile.”
Lin Yuan'er was puzzled by Mo Ming's sudden attitude and asked, “Brother Mo, what's wrong? Why are you being so fierce?”
“It's nothing; this gentleman is just anxious; it's no big deal,” Yan Gaofei said, sneaking another glance at Lin Yuan'er before continuing, “This house isn’t expensive; it only costs five million. You know that in today's market, five million is quite cheap…”
"There's no need to talk so much nonsense. Five million, I'll take it," Mo Ming said impatiently. "Call the landlord and have him come over. I want to make the deal now."
Yan Gaofei adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, a hint of lewdness flashing in his eyes as he smiled. "Sure, since that's the case, I'll contact the landlord right now. You two wait here for a moment."
With that, Yan Gaofei went to the kitchen to make the call.
Lin Yuan'er pulled Mo Ming around to look at the house, feeling quite pleased. Mo Ming smiled slightly and didn't say much, simply agreeing that it was good, which wasn't just empty words.
As long as Lin Yuan'er liked it, that was enough for him; Mo Ming's requirements for a house weren't very high—just somewhere to live would suffice.
After they had looked at enough houses, Lin Yuan'er finally settled down to rest while waiting for the landlord to arrive and sign the contract.
At that moment, Yan Gaofei brought out two cups of water and placed them on the coffee table. He smiled at Mo Ming and Lin Yuan'er. "Just wait a bit; the landlord has something to take care of first but will be here soon. If you're thirsty, feel free to drink some water."
"Great! After walking around for so long, I'm about to die of thirst."
Having not had any water after such a long time of wandering, Lin Yuan'er felt parched upon seeing the plain water in front of her. She reached for a cup to drink but was suddenly stopped by Mo Ming, who snatched it away.
"Don't drink!"
Lin Yuan'er looked at Mo Ming in confusion. "Brother Mo, what's wrong? Why shouldn't I drink?"
Yan Gaofei had been somewhat excited, hoping Lin Yuan'er would drink, but suddenly being interrupted by Mo Ming made him feel uneasy and anxious, worried that Mo Ming might see through him.
"Why not drink? Is there something wrong with the water?" Yan Gaofei forced a smile and said, "This water is fresh; I just boiled it a moment ago. It's very clean."
"Is that so?" Mo Ming said with a hint of a smile as he handed over the cup of water. "Then please drink this, since you talked for so long just now, you must be thirsty."
"No, no, no, I've already had some. I'm not thirsty at all," Yan Gaofei hurriedly waved his hand and laughed. "You all can drink it. If I get thirsty, there's more in the kitchen."
"Brother Mo, what's wrong with you?" Lin Yuan'er asked in confusion. "You've been acting strange since earlier. What's going on? Why can't this water be drunk?"
Mo Ming didn't respond but walked over to Yan Gaofei with the cup in hand, wearing a sinister smile that made Yan Gaofei instinctively shrink back, fear evident on his face. "What do you want to do?"
"Nothing much, just thought you might be thirsty and wanted to give you some water," Mo Ming replied calmly.
Yan Gaofei became even more frightened and shook his head desperately. "No, no, no, I don't want to drink water. Someone come save me..."
"Whoever comes won't help; today you must drink this!" Mo Ming ignored his resistance and forced the water into Yan Gaofei's mouth, preventing him from uttering a single word. In front of Mo Ming, Yan Gaofei had no ability to resist and was helplessly made to swallow the water.
It wasn't until Mo Ming finished pouring the water that he released Yan Gaofei and sneered, "How does it feel? The taste of the drug you prepared isn't pleasant, is it? Do you feel a bit dizzy?"
"You..." As the effects of the drug began to take hold, Yan Gaofei saw double images of Mo Ming and felt his eyes growing heavy. His eyelids drooped lower and lower until he could no longer keep them open, and his consciousness began to fade.
Seeing this scene, Lin Yuan'er immediately understood what was happening. Yan Gaofei had intended to use a drug on them; the purpose was clear. If it weren't for Mo Ming's vigilance, something terrible might have happened today. Lin Yuan'er felt a surge of fear and said, "Brother Mo, let's hurry and leave."
"Hmph, since we've come this far, where do you think you're going?"
Suddenly, three burly men burst into the room holding large knives. Each had a brutish look on their faces and appeared quite lewd as they leered at Lin Yuan'er, who was hiding behind Mo Ming with a frightened expression.
"Hehe, beautiful lady, since you've come here today, why not just submit to us? As long as you listen to us, I can guarantee that your little boyfriend won't come to any harm; otherwise..." One of the men leered greedily at every inch of Lin Yuan'er's skin with a lustful glint in his eyes.
"Otherwise, what will you do?" Mo Ming's tone turned somewhat cold as he said, "I am giving you a chance to live. Immediately blind yourselves and get lost; I can let you go this once."
"Oh, I didn't expect you to remain calm in such a situation, kid. You've got some guts. But having guts and spouting nonsense won't save you. Today, both of you will stay!"
Upon hearing this, the three men laughed dismissively. They all believed that Lin Yuan'er had become their prey and thought they would enjoy themselves today, not realizing this was the beginning of their demise.
"Then you can go die," Mo Ming said, his voice chillingly heartfelt. "Yuan'er, close your eyes and don't look. I don't want their filthy blood to stain your eyes." Lin Yuan'er trusted Mo Ming completely and immediately closed her eyes.
"You bastard, are you still trying to play the hero at a time like this?" one of the large men shouted angrily, cursing loudly. "I see you're just looking for death today!"
As soon as the big man's words fell, all three charged at Mo Ming with their large knives. However, Mo Ming's figure moved strangely, and suddenly a tragic scream echoed.
"Ah! You bastard..."
One of the big men's knife was not only snatched away by Mo Ming but also his Achilles tendons were severed. Following that, another swift strike occurred; as the blade passed by, all three men shot out sprays of blood from their eyes. With just one slash, Mo Ming had blinded all three of them!
