While Poisonous Madness and the crocodile were discussing the acquisition of a private hospital, Mo Ming was leisurely sitting in a high-end café, reading a magazine.
Today, Mo Ming was dressed casually in a white T-shirt and light blue jeans, paired with a pair of black casual shoes. Although his outfit seemed unremarkable, its price was astonishingly high, totaling over thirty thousand!
In fact, Mo Ming didn't care much about what he wore; it was just that Murong Lian, Lin Yuan'er, and Jun Qianqian could not be so casual. They insisted that Mo Ming, being someone of stature, should not dress too casually, so his entire outfit was chosen by them.
Mo Ming had been sitting there for about ten minutes, and he had nearly finished his premium kopi luwak coffee on the table. However, he seemed to have no loss of patience and was focused on the fashion magazine in his hands!
Every stunning woman featured in the magazine naturally caught Mo Ming's attention. He looked like a lewd rogue, admiring the beauties on paper, completely oblivious to the passage of time.
Another ten minutes passed when his phone on the right side rang. He showed no intention of putting down the magazine but answered the call instead, saying, "Moshi moshi?"
"Uh? Did I dial the wrong number?" came Ji Yue's surprised voice from the other end.
"No, this is Mo Ming," he replied with a smile.
"Hey, why are you speaking Japanese? I thought I called an international number!"
"Sorry, I didn’t realize I said that."
"Alright then, I had something to deal with earlier that took some time. I'm on my way now; I'm really sorry! Can you wait for me?" Ji Yue's slightly apologetic tone left no room for refusal.
"Of course I'll wait. Waiting for a woman is a man's essential lesson, especially for someone as charming and intelligent as Athena," Mo Ming said with a slight smile. "No need to rush; I'll be waiting for you, Miss Ji."
"That's great! I'm heading over now; it won't take long—just about ten minutes!"
"Okay, no need to hurry. Be careful; as a detective, don't get into trouble with traffic police," Mo Ming joked.
Putting down his phone, Mo Ming continued to look at the magazine in his hand, appearing extremely calm, as if nothing else mattered to him. He was simply enjoying life!
Indeed, according to Demon Eye, during this period, he didn’t have to do anything; he just needed to relax and enjoy his days.
Having been accustomed to being busy and thinking about various things, Mo Ming suddenly found himself free from such thoughts and couldn't help but feel a sense of relief. This was the life he had always wanted—a life without any decisions to make and without any worries.
Mo Ming felt a sense of regret for not having met Demon Eye sooner. If Demon Eye had appeared earlier, many things wouldn’t have required his personal decisions, and he could have leisurely spent time with Sister, enjoying a beautiful life!
Of course, this feeling of regret was contingent on the fact that Demon Eye wouldn’t erase everything he had built over the years.
After waiting for eleven minutes, Ji Yue appeared before Mo Ming, dressed in a light white long dress. Her stunning beauty was untouched by the passage of time; she didn’t need any makeup to look breathtaking. With a light lip gloss and her hair cascading down, Ji Yue radiated the charm of a mature woman.
“Please sit,” Mo Ming gestured for her to take a seat with a smile.
Ji Yue sat down.
“Would you like something to drink?”
“A latte, please.”
“Waiter, one latte please, thank you,” Mo Ming snapped his fingers and called out to the waiter nearby.
Soon, the waiter brought over a cup of latte.
“Can I say something honest first?” Mo Ming said seriously as he stared at Ji Yue.
Ji Yue looked at Mo Ming's expression and thought something was wrong with her. She immediately became nervous and asked, "What's wrong? Is there something off about me?"
"Mm." Mo Ming nodded.
"Huh? What's off?"
Ji Yue became even more anxious. She wished she could disappear into the ground. This outfit was something she hadn't worn since her university days. Ever since she became the captain of the police force, she hadn't dressed like this. She rarely wore skirts, especially a long white one!
When she left the house today, she hesitated for a moment and then made this unusual decision. It wasn't until she stepped outside that she realized how she was dressed.
However, time was running out, and she forced herself to go without changing. Now that Mo Ming said something was off, she thought it must be because she was getting older, making her look a bit strange.
"Everything is off." Mo Ming only spoke halfway and didn't explain what was wrong. He just wore a faint smile that seemed to carry deep meaning.
"Is it that this outfit doesn't suit me?" Ji Yue's heart raced at Mo Ming's words. She secretly worried that her current appearance would seem out of place in his eyes, blaming herself for not thinking more before leaving the house.
"No, it's just too suitable; I feel it's off." Mo Ming pondered for a moment and said seriously, "Ji Yue, Captain Ji, can you tell me one truth? Have you been lying to me all along?"
"Huh? I haven't lied to you; why would you say that?" Ji Yue was startled and confused. She felt something was different about Mo Ming today; he seemed like a carefree young man without any burdens!
"You look like you're just over twenty; you don't seem like you're in your thirties at all. Are you hiding your real age from me?" Mo Ming's lips curled into a charming smile as he said, "You look absolutely beautiful today! If I didn't know you, I would think a big star had arrived!"
"You scared me! I thought you were going to say something serious!" Ji Yue finally relaxed upon hearing Mo Ming's words and felt pleased inside. However, she still shot him a resentful glance and said, "I hope you won't use tricks to flatter me anymore; I'm over thirty and not falling for that."
"Are you really over thirty? You don't look it at all!" Mo Ming pretended to be silly and then laughed, "Besides, no matter how old they are, women love being complimented, especially when told they still look young, right? Captain Ji?"
"Not at all!"
Ji Yue said somewhat insincerely. Despite her stunning beauty, she had no shortage of admirers and people who praised her. Countless individuals remarked on her youth, yet she felt nothing from these flattering words.
However, she found herself at a loss now. When these compliments came from Mo Ming's lips, they seemed to carry a certain magic, making her heart feel sweet, as if it were filled with honey.
"Hey, don't forget that I can observe a person's behavior to infer their thoughts. I see that Captain Ji is being a bit disingenuous? Clearly happy, with joy written all over her face, yet she insists it's not true?" Mo Ming gazed intently at Ji Yue, finding this thirty-year-old woman quite charming at that moment.
Unfortunately, Mo Ming already had three women at home; otherwise, he might have seriously considered the woman before him.
"Sometimes inferring a person's thoughts based on their behavior isn't always accurate. Anyway, when I say it's not true, it's not," Ji Yue retorted stubbornly.
"Alright then, I personally dislike arguing with women. If you say it's not true, then it's not," Mo Ming replied with a slight smile, spreading his hands. "Now, let's talk about why Captain Ji came here today."
"Are you very busy?" Ji Yue asked.
"I'm not busy; I'm just curious about Captain Ji's intentions. I know you're quite the busy person and wouldn't come here just to have coffee with me," Mo Ming said with a smile and a shake of his head.
"What if I said I came here just to have coffee with you?" Ji Yue picked up her cup, took a sip of latte, then set it down, a faint smile playing on her lips as she looked at Mo Ming with a teasing glint in her eyes.
"I don't quite believe that," Mo Ming said, catching the look in Ji Yue's eyes. He smiled lightly and shook his head. "After all, I'm not Professor Du; my charm isn't enough to attract Captain Ji."
Mo Ming sensed that Ji Yue harbored some fondness for him. However, he worried about unnecessary entanglements and thought it best to nip that budding affection in the bud. This would be the best outcome for both him and Ji Yue.
Their relationship was destined to remain at the level of friends; perhaps they could become confidants but could never be lovers or spouses.
"Alright, let's get down to business." Ji Yue looked at Mo Ming's expression, a hint of disappointment flashing in her eyes. This was not the outcome she wanted to see. At that moment, she could only force a smile; she didn't want Mo Ming to notice anything unusual.
"I'm all ears," Mo Ming said with a smile.
"About what happened last time, you owe me a reasonable explanation," Ji Yue stated.
"Didn't your superiors already tell you everything?" Mo Ming replied playfully, "What else do you want me to explain?"
"Now it's just the two of us. There's no need for you to play dumb in front of me, right? Although I don't know exactly what happened, I know it's not as your superiors said," Ji Yue said, rolling her eyes.
"So how do you think it went?" Mo Ming countered.
"The people who were caught are not ordinary individuals. The calluses on their hands and the murderous intent in their eyes are not something regular people possess. I suspect they must be mercenaries or something similar," Ji Yue said, staring into Mo Ming's eyes.
"You’re not wrong; you could say that," Mo Ming replied. "It's not an exaggeration to say they are mercenaries. They are all well-trained and ruthless killers. If it were just up to you guys, you definitely wouldn't be able to handle them."
"I know. If it weren't for the troops that showed up that day, we police would have been stuck and suffered heavy losses," Ji Yue nodded. "Their target seems to be Hillside Mansion. If they are terrorists, then what was the purpose of making such a big commotion?"
"Maybe it's to announce to the world that they are vicious terrorists," Mo Ming joked.
