"Come on, stop joking. I'm not here to listen to your jokes today. I want to know the truth, and I also want to understand you better." Ji Yue's last sentence was her true feelings.
From the moment she met Mo Ming, this mysterious boy had always stirred her heart. She seemed filled with desire, longing to know more about Mo Ming, to understand this boy full of magical colors!
"Heh, haven't you already gotten to know me? What further understanding do you plan to achieve?" Mo Ming took a sip of coffee and then pulled out a cigarette, asking, "You don't mind if I smoke, do you?"
"Of course not." Ji Yue nodded slightly and said, "I actually think that a man who doesn't smoke doesn't quite embody the unique charm of a man. However, smoking is fine, but too much of it isn't good."
"Ah, if only Murong Lian and Jun Qianqian could be as considerate as you," Mo Ming sighed with a hint of regret.
This is what makes the best girlfriend—someone who doesn't mind your smoking and even thinks that smoking men are the most charming. Such a woman would bring happiness to a man. However, Mo Ming thought about it; after all, Murong Lian and Jun Qianqian were quite good in many other aspects besides controlling his smoking.
Mo Ming had principles when it came to being a rogue; he could be flirtatious but not vulgar. He wouldn't tolerate always thinking about what he couldn't have while enjoying what he did have. The fact that he could have three women involved many factors; it wasn't something he pursued intentionally.
Hearing Mo Ming's lament, Ji Yue couldn't help but chuckle lightly, shaking her head with a smile. "It seems like you're not having such a good time. Do you feel that having too many women isn't so great?"
"Sometimes it's good, sometimes it's not. It depends on the situation; there's no definitive answer. Women are not simple beings; they can easily control your emotions. I’ve come to understand the truth in that saying," Mo Ming said with a bitter smile, taking a deep drag from his cigarette before slowly exhaling.
"What saying?" Ji Yue looked at Mo Ming's expression and found it amusing, making it hard for her lips to maintain their curve.
"Men conquer the world; women only need to conquer men to possess the world. That saying is absolutely true. No matter how tough I appear outside, when I return home, I'm sadly outmatched by three women," Mo Ming said with deep feeling.
"Heh, are you happy then?" Ji Yue asked with slightly parted lips. For some reason, she suddenly felt envious of Jun Qianqian, Murong Lian, and Lin Yuan'er. As for what she envied about them, she couldn't quite pinpoint.
"Of course I'm happy," Mo Ming replied with a smile and a nod.
"Alright then, you've led me around in circles again. You still haven't told me what happened a few days ago!" Ji Yue didn't want to continue that topic any longer; she felt like she was just making herself miserable by asking meaningless questions.
"Is it really necessary to say it?"
"It is necessary."
"A few days ago, those people belonged to an organization called 'Dark Order.' You might find that name unfamiliar, but it is one of the most mysterious and powerful organizations in the world. Its roots run deep, and its influence is so vast that you can't even imagine it. It's possible that someone around you is part of it."
Mo Ming knew that Ji Yue had to know this. If he didn't say it, Ji Yue wouldn't let him off the hook and would keep pressing him. To minimize future interactions and avoid any sparks, he decided to tell the truth.
"Is their power really that great?" Ji Yue asked, his face filled with surprise. "Why would they cause trouble in Nanhua City? Do they think they can go against a country?"
"Do I need to lie to you?" Mo Ming rolled his eyes. "I've been opposing them for quite some time now. The more I understand them, the more I feel their terrifying nature. As long as they exist, they will be a bomb for both China and other countries—a bomb that could explode at any moment!"
"You oppose them? Alone?" Ji Yue realized he had asked a foolish question and quickly laughed at himself. "I almost forgot; you had quite a few brothers with you that day. You're not fighting alone."
"That's right. Without them, there would be no Mo Ming today. I owe my survival to them; otherwise, I wouldn't be able to stand against the Dark Order!" Mo Ming nodded heavily.
"My feeling wasn't wrong; you're different from ordinary people. From the first time I met you, I've felt this way. Although you don't look very old, I can't see through you," Ji Yue said. "Walking this path, don't you feel tired? Have you ever thought about being an ordinary person?"
"Tired? Not at all. Once you walk my path, you'll never regret it because you'll see a different world. You'll realize that the weak will always be preyed upon by others. Even if you want to help someone, you'll find yourself powerless!" Mo Ming shook his head.
He had asked himself if he would choose to start over if given the chance or continue on his current path. His answer was always the same: to keep moving forward.
On this road, he might encounter many dangers and could lose his life at any moment. However, along the way, he had met countless people and seen extraordinary sights. Having grown accustomed to being strong, Mo Ming naturally wouldn't lower himself to live as a weak person.
"I really want to see the world through your eyes," Ji Yue said, a hint of sadness flashing in his gaze as he smiled bitterly. "Unfortunately, we are not from the same world. You have your path to walk, and I have mine. The fact that we can intersect is already a rare fate."
"Haha, there is indeed fate between us, but I don't find it rare," Mo Ming laughed a few times and said, "Look at me; someone like me must often deal with the police. My connection with you is only natural."
"That's true, every time I see you, something bad seems to happen," Ji Yue said with a wry smile.
"That statement is incorrect. We're meeting today, and nothing bad has happened, right?" Mo Ming chuckled and continued, "I wonder if Captain Ji has any other questions? If not, would you mind going to watch a movie with me?"
"Sure!" Ji Yue replied without hesitation. After the words left her mouth, she began to regret why she had agreed so easily. She didn't want Mo Ming to think of her as an easy woman.
"Then let's go." Mo Ming settled the bill and then walked out of the café with Ji Yue.
"Did you drive here?" Mo Ming asked.
"I did," Ji Yue said, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear and nodding.
"Let's leave it here for now. I'll drive, and after the movie, I'll take you back to get your car."
"Okay," Ji Yue nodded in agreement.
Mo Ming opened the car door for Ji Yue. Once she was inside, he closed the door and climbed into the driver's seat, smiling as he said, "Let's go to the nearby cinema. I remember there's one close by."
"Yes, there's a Meisi Cinemas just ahead; turn left and keep going straight," Ji Yue pointed ahead.
The car slowly moved forward.
As Mo Ming drove away, a black car followed closely behind.
Inside the car were four people. One of them, wearing sunglasses, made a phone call and said, "Report: Shura hasn't made any moves lately; he's just been doing some meaningless things. Now he's left with a woman; we don't know where they're headed."
"With a woman? Which woman?"
"It seems to be the Criminal Police Captain from Nanhua City."
"Shura is with a Criminal Police Captain? What exactly is he up to? Has he been staying in the hotel all this time? Has he gone anywhere special?" The voice on the other end was deep, seemingly filled with a heavy, murderous intent.
"I've been following him these days and haven't seen him go anywhere. He's been either at the hotel or hanging out at bars. Other than that, it's all trivial matters, nothing special!"
"No matter what tricks he's playing, make sure to keep a close watch on him. We need to find out where he has hidden the Spirit Stone!"
"I understand."
Mo Ming and Ji Yue arrived at Meisi Cinemas. After parking the car, Mo Ming went to queue for tickets. The recent releases were mostly romantic films, with only one new movie focusing on the Special Forces of Huaxia.
Mo Ming initially thought Ji Yue wouldn't be interested in it, but to his surprise, she pointed at that film and said she wanted to watch it.
Mo Ming wasn't particularly interested in romantic films either, but seeing that Ji Yue wanted to watch a war-themed movie, he immediately bought two tickets and waited outside the theater for the show to start.
Sitting in the theater seats, Ji Yue smiled and said, "Do you know why I want to watch war movies?"
"Why? I can't figure it out and don't want to guess what women think," Mo Ming replied.
"Because I want to understand more about your past life," Ji Yue said before falling silent.
Mo Ming didn't respond.
Until the movie started playing, both Mo Ming and Ji Yue sat quietly without anyone trying to initiate a conversation. Mo Ming's expression and inner thoughts were extremely calm, while Ji Yue felt a bit of inner turmoil.
Ji Yue felt as if her heart had been captured by a young man without any warning; she had been taken prisoner just like that. However, she knew that Mo Ming already had three women in his life, and she didn't want to disturb his world.
But she couldn't control the fluttering in her heart. Many times, she wanted to muster the courage to tell Mo Ming what was on her mind, but each time the words reached her lips, she swallowed them back down. She knew that once the words were spoken, her relationship with Mo Ming would be affected. It was possible that for the rest of her life, Mo Ming would never have any further connection with her. She didn't want that to happen, so she chose silence.
During the movie screening, Ji Yue watched intently, while Mo Ming's attention was not entirely on the screen but rather on a few people not far behind him. He could sense their hostility. Since a few days ago, Mo Ming had known that someone was following him.
However, according to Demon Eye's advice, he wasn't doing anything at the moment, so he naturally wasn't afraid of being followed. In fact, he hoped someone would follow him; this way, every move he made would serve as a distraction for them.
Mo Ming didn't understand what Demon Eye was up to, but seeing Demon Eye's confident demeanor, he chose to trust him. After all, one should not doubt those they employ.
Since he chose to trust Demon Eye, he had to let him do his thing!
This time, however, Mo Ming wasn't intentionally using Ji Yue; it was Ji Yue who invited him out. He simply took the opportunity to have Ji Yue accompany him to watch a movie to throw off those following him.
P.S. I owe everyone many chapters; I'm working hard to repay that debt and hope for your forgiveness. You should also see that the story is nearing its end, so you don't have to chase after it so hard anymore. For those still reading, please leave a comment and let me see your presence!
