Not long after Taylor left, Enchantress walked in. Seeing that Taylor had just gone out, she was worried that Mo Ming might be in trouble, her face showing some anxiety. When she saw that Mo Ming was fine, the worry on her face faded.
"Boss, that guy didn't notice anything, right?"
"That question is a bit foolish," Mo Ming replied with a smile. "With your boss's acting skills capable of winning the Best Actor award, do you think he could see through it? Besides, if he had noticed, we probably wouldn't be standing here talking."
"Alright then, Boss. So, did you find out anything?" Enchantress thought her earlier question was somewhat unnecessary and smiled self-deprecatingly.
"I didn't gather any valuable information. That guy Taylor is not simple; he's ruthless and meticulous. If we want to extract information from him, we'll have to take our time."
Thinking about Taylor, Mo Ming felt a sense of inscrutability. Not to mention his ruthlessness, just from his words, it was clear that Taylor was quite deep and not the kind of mindless person.
After being interrupted by Ken, Taylor hurriedly left without leaving any contact information. This seemed a bit unusual to Mo Ming. If he had sensed something, how could Taylor not take action against Mo Ming?
"What should we do next?"
"Taylor said he would contact me, so let's wait for him at the hotel. I believe he'll eventually come to us," Mo Ming said with an inscrutable look in his eyes. "Tonight wasn't without gains; I seem to have gotten some clues."
Mo Ming took Enchantress and left the bar, heading straight back to the hotel without stopping anywhere else. They shared a room; after all, it was perfectly normal for a secretary to live with the boss, and no one would suspect anything.
In a den of wolves and tigers, danger was always present. This arrangement was mainly to prevent surprise attacks; being together made it easier to look out for each other. In truth, Mo Ming wasn't afraid; he just worried about Enchantress getting into trouble.
Upon arriving at the hotel and locking the door, Enchantress eagerly asked, "Boss, you mentioned earlier in the bar that you had some clues. What are they? I'm dying of curiosity!"
"Have you never heard that curiosity killed the cat?" Mo Ming smirked slightly and gave Enchantress a calm look. "Remember, don't ask questions that shouldn't be asked in the future. Sometimes asking too much can lead to trouble. Got it?"
"Uh, fine. I guess I spoke out of turn. Can't I just not ask?" Enchantress felt somewhat frustrated with Mo Ming's attitude; after all, he never spoke like this before. But looking at Mo Ming's expression made her feel something was off.
The room fell silent for a moment before Enchantress clearly heard the sound of water running from the bathroom. Suddenly understanding why Mo Ming was acting this way—there was someone in the bathroom—she realized he was worried about eavesdropping.
"As long as you understand not to ask..." Mo Ming slowly stood up and quietly moved toward the bathroom. As he approached the bathroom door, a figure stepped out, and they exchanged blows.
Mo Ming clearly saw the other person's appearance and immediately stopped. This person was none other than Poisonous Madness, who looked frustrated and said, "Damn it, what are you doing in there?"
"I should be asking you that, boss. I just went to the bathroom for a moment, and you didn't need to act like that. You scared the hell out of me; I almost finished peeing!" Poisonous Madness rolled his eyes at Mo Ming.
"Who told you to sneak in here? I thought someone was eavesdropping. Toxic Jar, what are you doing here?" Mo Ming frowned and said, "Didn't I ask you to protect me from the shadows? Showing up like this makes it easy for people to suspect you."
"Don't worry, I was very careful when I came here; no one noticed. If there wasn't anything important, I wouldn't have come," Poisonous Madness said with a hint of a smile. "The Underworld gang asked me to tell you that Taylor is actually gay, so you'd better be careful."
"What the hell? You're only telling me this now? The Underworld gang is getting less efficient by the day," Mo Ming said with a dark expression. "Tell the Underworld that if they pull this kind of stunt again, they can forget about getting any money from me."
"Hehe, now I feel balanced. No wonder I thought it was ineffective; it turns out Taylor is gay..." Enchantress got excited and seemed to think of something, covering her mouth in shock while pointing at Mo Ming with her other hand. "Could it be that Tate has taken a liking to the boss?"
"No way?" Poisonous Madness burst out laughing and then started to laugh even harder. "Boss, who would have thought you still have that charm? Hehe, why not use your good looks to get things rolling?"
"Get lost with your nonsense about charm; be serious," Mo Ming said, feeling somewhat frustrated but trying to maintain a serious expression. "Tonight I've figured out some things; listen up."
"Sure, boss, go ahead; we're listening," Poisonous Madness said while trying to suppress laughter but ended up bursting into laughter again. Enchantress giggled behind her hand, completely ignoring how dark Mo Ming's expression had become.
"Enough from both of you!" Mo Ming couldn't hold back any longer and exploded. "If anyone laughs again, I guarantee you won't see a single cent from what we earn in the future."
"Come on, boss! How can I not laugh?" Enchantress immediately stopped laughing upon hearing there would be no money. "Beauty products are so expensive these days; if I don't have money, I'll age faster!"
"If you want money, then keep quiet and listen. Toxic Jar, if you laugh again, I'll take away your position and cut off your bonuses!" Mo Ming shot a warning glance at Poisonous Madness before continuing. "After meeting Taylor tonight, I realized something: Taylor doesn't recognize me at all."
"It's normal not to recognize someone. When we first saw your disguised appearance, none of us recognized you either. It's only reasonable that Taylor wouldn't recognize you," Enchantress frowned, somewhat confused by what Mo Ming was saying.
At first, she didn't think much of it, but after pondering for a moment, Poisonous Madness understood and raised an eyebrow. "Boss, are you saying that the people appearing from the Sun family aren't Tate's people?"
"Exactly. I've been puzzled about why as soon as we arrived somewhere, someone followed us right away. Even if Tate has good information channels, as a major general, Taylor should know about it too. But tonight when we met, Taylor had no suspicions at all. That means the people who killed Boss weren't sent by Tate."
Poisonous Madness narrowed his eyes into a dangerous arc and said, "According to your thoughts, Boss, if those people weren't sent by Tate, then it must be the Dark Order's doing. I can't think of anyone else."
"It's almost certainly them. Under the banner of Tate, their goal is to deepen our hostility towards Tate, making us fight each other while they reap the benefits."
Mo Ming found it terrifying to think about; they had almost fallen into the enemy's trap. This was enough to prove that the enemy had very reliable information. The fact that they even went so far as to disguise themselves indicated that they had been watching from Nanhua City all the way here.
"Those despicable guys, using us over and over again while we remain oblivious. Thankfully, Boss, you noticed something was off tonight; otherwise, we would have been used as pawns." Poisonous Madness furrowed his brow in anger and punched the wall.
"Toxic Jar, there's no need to be so agitated. We will find out who killed Boss, and one day we will avenge her," Mo Ming said, knowing that Poisonous Madness was thinking about their wrongfully deceased Boss. He felt a bit down and patted his shoulder in comfort.
"Now that we know this whole thing is a scheme by the Dark Order, should we stop looking for trouble with Tate?" Enchantress asked.
"Why should we stop? A debt must be repaid. Just because Tate didn't kill Boss doesn't mean we let them off the hook. Besides, I have an even better plan to give the Dark Order a big surprise!" Mo Ming's eyes sparkled with excitement as a sinister smile crept onto his face, exuding confidence.
"Hehe, a big surprise sounds great! Just make sure not to be led around by the nose," Enchantress said with an excited laugh. "It's time to teach them a lesson; otherwise, they'll think they're invincible schemers."
Taking a deep breath, Poisonous Madness's mood improved somewhat. "Boss, what do you plan to do next?"
"Since they want us to fall for their trap and take advantage of us, why not play along and expose their true colors?" Mo Ming said calmly. "I believe it won't be long before Tate comes knocking on our door. At that point, as long as we confirm the time and place, we can stir up some trouble."
For several days in a row, Mo Ming and Enchantress pretended during the day to look for places to develop tourism while staying glued to their hotel room at night, quietly waiting for Taylor's contact. However, after several days of waiting, there was no sign of anything.
"Boss, we've been waiting for so long; what if Taylor doesn't want to help you at all?" Enchantress complained one night around midnight. After waiting so long, she was feeling quite irritated.
"Don't worry; based on my instincts, he will definitely come looking for us. We just need to be patient and not lose our composure or reveal ourselves," Mo Ming reassured her.
Just then, coincidentally, as soon as Mo Ming finished speaking, there was a knock at the door. It was highly likely Taylor had arrived. Enchantress walked over to the door and looked through the peephole before turning back and whispering, "It's one of Taylor's bodyguards."
Hearing this, Mo Ming quickly walked over and glanced at the person outside the door, realizing it was Zuo Tai. Zuo Tai's presence here surely meant he had received instructions from Taylor.
He opened the door and smiled, "You seem to be...?"
"Zuo Tai. Young Master Taylor sent me to invite you," Zuo Tai replied. "Please, Jiang Zong must come with me; the Young Master said he has important matters to discuss with you."
Who doesn't know you are Zuo Tai? Mo Ming just wanted to play along: "No wonder you look familiar; you're Young Master Taylor's bodyguard from that night. Alright, no problem. Please wait a moment while I change my clothes, and then I'll go with you to meet Young Master Taylor."
"Sure."
Back in his room, Mo Ming quickly changed into another outfit and informed Enchantress briefly before leaving the hotel with Zuo Tai. They got into a luxurious stretch limousine, which had only a driver and no one else; Taylor was not in the car.
This made Mo Ming feel a bit suspicious, so he casually asked, "Oh, isn't Young Master Taylor here?"
"Yes, the Young Master is waiting for you elsewhere. I'm taking you there now," Zuo Tai said without even looking at Mo Ming, his tone flat as he sat still like a statue, creating a tense atmosphere.
Mo Ming felt an ominous premonition in his heart and thought to himself, "Could it be that Taylor suspects me and wants to trick me into going over there just to eliminate me? Hmph, I want to see what tricks you have up your sleeve!"
