Mo Ming carried the unconscious Ruolin out of the school gate and said to Wu Yong and Poisonous Madness, "This girl was knocked out by Dragon Slayer. I'm taking her back to the basement. You two notify the others to go to Dragon Slayer's hideout at the scrap processing plant on Flying Cloud Road!"
"Got it, we'll head out first," Poisonous Madness nodded and then ran off with Wu Yong.
Mo Ming looked at Ruolin in his arms; her familiar appearance made him momentarily lost in thought, and he then smiled bitterly, "This girl really looks more and more like Qingmeng..."
His feelings for Qingmeng were a memory. Mo Ming would not let Ruolin become a substitute for Qingmeng, but since Ruolin had a face so similar to Qingmeng's, Mo Ming would never allow anyone to harm her!
He hailed an empty taxi and told the driver the address. Then he called Silver Wolf: "Silver Wolf, I'm heading back to the basement now. Liufeng should have given you the Gold Card, right? Distribute it to the brothers and have them all mobilize to secretly look for news about Luo Long and Yang Fan!"
"Hehe, how much is each person getting?" Silver Wolf chuckled on the other end.
The Gold Card was the organization's mission reward, typically used for executing tasks. It was originally managed by Liufeng, but he had handed it over to Silver Wolf before going to Y Country.
"You handle that yourself; no need to ask me. Silver Wolf, you should have some initiative. If you want to become someone important in the future, you need to learn to handle things on your own. Just because someone is strong doesn't mean they are necessarily a leader; they could also be a subordinate. You understand what I mean, right?" Mo Ming said calmly.
Silver Wolf was different from other members; he was his sworn brother and would naturally become a pillar of the organization in the future. Mo Ming hoped Silver Wolf could quickly learn to stand on his own and not seek guidance for everything.
After all, their opponent, the Dark Order, was a formidable enemy with a vast foundation spreading throughout the underground world. It was impossible for Mo Ming alone to uproot it entirely; therefore, he had been training a group of capable assistants.
For example, like growing lions; only when these individuals could truly stand on their own would the time for the decisive battle against Dark Order draw near.
"Uh, I know what to do now. I'll take care of it right away, boss!"
Mo Ming hung up first. Just as he lit a cigarette and was about to smoke it, he heard a soft "mm." Ruolin slowly opened her eyes, looked around in panic, but when she saw Mo Ming beside her, all her fear vanished.
A smile replaced the previous expression on Ruolin's face as she couldn't help but hug Mo Ming, saying, "Mo Ming, brother, it's so good to see you! You must have saved me, right?"
"Ha ha, Ruolin, long time no see. You've really become more beautiful," Mo Ming nodded with a smile. "Are you getting used to school life? Have you been bullied?"
"Hehe... No, everyone has been really nice to me. Thank you, Mo Ming," Ruolin looked up and sweetly smiled at Mo Ming, her smile resembling a pure lotus flower, refreshing and delightful.
"Why are you thanking me?" Mo Ming was taken aback.
Ruolin's smile grew even sweeter as she said, "If it weren't for meeting you, I don't know how I would have fallen to the bottom. Not only did you save me, but you also arranged for my schooling and provided the best treatment for my mom. Of course, I have to thank you."
"Uh... So that's how it is." Mo Ming took a puff of his cigarette and slowly exhaled towards the window while smiling at Ruolin. "You don't need to say thank you in the future. When I saved you, it was personal for me. As for what that is, you should know..."
"I don't care about that! Anyway, you're good to me, so you're good to me. Mo Ming, you're the best in my heart! Hehe... Besides my mom being good to me, you're the only other person in the world who treats me so well," Ruolin shook her head with a happy smile on her lips.
"Besides me and your mom, don't Sister Murong and Lin Sister treat you poorly?"
Ruolin quickly shook her hand and explained, "No, Sister Murong and Lin Sister are both good to me. But I'm saying the best people in the world to me are only you and my mom..."
Seeing Ruolin's cute flustered face turn red, Mo Ming smiled slightly and said, "Alright, I get what you mean. Look at how anxious you've gotten."
"Hmph! Mo Ming, you're bullying me!" Ruolin said in exasperation.
"How could I..."
Ruolin huffed, "There is!"
"Then there is..." Mo Ming replied with a bitter smile.
Only then did Ruolin nod in satisfaction. Looking out the car window at the retreating scenery, she asked curiously, "Hey, Mo Ming brother, where are we going? I seem to remember a tall man blocking my way, and then Lukun was kicked away while trying to save me. After that, I can't recall what happened."
"You were knocked unconscious. That man wanted to capture you to threaten me," Mo Ming said, noticing the look of fear flash in Ruolin's eyes. He smiled at her and reassured, "It's all in the past, Ruolin. You don't need to worry. As long as I'm here, even if the sky falls, I'll help you bear it."
"Mm-hmm, as long as I'm by Mo Ming brother's side, I feel very safe," Ruolin nodded, her sweet smile still lingering. She slowly rested her head on Mo Ming's shoulder and closed her eyes, lost in thought as her smile grew wider.
The car fell silent again; apart from the sounds of the vehicle moving, there was no other noise. Mo Ming quietly smoked a cigarette, his mind filled with thoughts on how to quickly resolve matters with Yang Fan and Luo Long.
"Sir, sir..."
A series of voices pulled Mo Ming out of his thoughts.
Looking at the still surroundings on both sides, he sheepishly smiled at the driver and said, "Sorry, I was lost in thought. Here’s the fare; consider the extra as your cigarette money."
The driver grinned widely as he took the few red bills from Mo Ming, quickly accepting the money. "You’re really generous! Just for that kindness, even if I had to wait for you for a few hours, it would be worth it."
"Ruolin, wake up; we’ve arrived," Mo Ming gently shook the sleeping Ruolin. She slowly opened her eyes and rubbed them with her small hands. Looking around at the unfamiliar environment, she asked, "Where are we?"
"Hehe, a safe place. Alright, no more questions; you'll know when we get there. Just follow me."
"Mm."
Mo Ming got out of the car and walked straight towards the abandoned basement with Ruolin. Upon entering the basement, Ruolin looked around at the terrible environment and exclaimed, "Ah, Brother Mo Ming, it smells so bad here. Am I going to stay here for a long time?"
This place was a training ground for a group of men, and the air was naturally filled with the sour smell of sweat. Mo Ming had gotten used to this smell, but Ruolin was not accustomed to it and found it quite unpleasant.
"Uh, I'm sorry. I didn't think about that. But it's very safe here, so just bear with it for a while. I promise it won't be long," Mo Ming said with an awkward smile.
Now that Luo Long and Yang Fan were hiding in the shadows manipulating things, Mo Ming chose this place from a safety perspective. He didn't want to go to Lord Qian's place mainly because he was worried about Luo Long's spies being there. If they encountered an ambush on the way, it would be too dangerous for Mo Ming to take Ruolin, a girl, with him.
Ruolin shook her head and said, "It's okay, I can handle it."
"Mo Ming, why did you bring this girl back? Are you trying to trick such a pure girl into joining your perverted organization?" Demon Guanyin walked over with her arms crossed, her face still cold.
Mo Ming rolled his eyes and replied, "She's my sister. What would I trick her into? By the way, why are you still here?"
"Hmph, you mean to say you want me to go out and execute missions with the money you gave me? I'm not interested in that. Don't expect me to help you with anything," Demon Guanyin snorted disdainfully. "By the way, where's that bastard Frenzied Warrior? Did he slip away without a word again?"
"Heh heh, I didn't mean for you to go out on missions. If you want to stay here, then stay. Anyway, everyone in the organization has gone out, and we need someone to watch the door. Hehe, Demon Guanyin, I'll leave the security here to you," Mo Ming teased.
"Get lost!" Demon Guanyin shouted angrily. "Who the hell is going to watch the door for you? If you say that again, I won't hesitate to tear your mouth apart!"
Mo Ming shrugged and said, "Fine, I won't say it again. But if you want to tear my mouth apart, you'd better work on improving your strength; right now, you can't beat me."
"Hmph, I know I can't defeat you, but if you underestimate women, then you're mistaken; you could die at any moment." Demon Guanyin looked down at Mo Ming and let out a chilling laugh.
Mo Ming raised his hands and said with a wry smile, "Alright, I surrender. Is that okay?"
Better to offend a petty person than a woman!
"Brother Mo Ming, who is she?" Ruolin tugged at Mo Ming's sleeve and asked.
"Uh, you can call her Sister Demon Guanyin. She's quite skilled, and as long as she's willing to protect you, you'll be safe," Mo Ming said, glancing at the indifferent Demon Guanyin and smiling at Ruolin.
"Hmph, don't get ahead of yourself. I never said I would protect her!" Demon Guanyin replied coldly. Just as she was about to turn away, Ruolin reached out and took her hand, a cute smile on her face as she said, "Sister Demon Guanyin, you're amazing! I'm so envious of you."
Demon Guanyin stared at Ruolin in surprise, then furrowed her brow and asked, "What do you envy me for?"
"I envy you for being so impressive," Ruolin replied innocently with a smile.
"Hah, if you knew what I've been through, you wouldn't envy me. Little girl, don't you know how much I envy you?" Demon Guanyin said with a bitter smile and shook her head.
Ruolin nodded and said, "Hehe... Sister Demon Guanyin, I don't understand the painful things you've experienced in the past, but I know that people need to move forward. Just think of it as life's setbacks; they make you stronger. I'm really envious of you. Even Brother Mo Ming praises you! I wish he would praise me too."
"What is your name?" Demon Guanyin smiled at Ruolin.
Mo Ming nearly choked on his saliva; it was unbelievable that the sun had risen from the west—Demon Guanyin actually smiled. It wasn't a cold smile or a bitter one; it was a natural smile. It seemed that Demon Guanyin had developed a fondness for Ruolin.
"Calmly," Ruolin said, "My name is Ruolin."
Demon Guanyin nodded and replied, "Ruolin, that's a lovely name."
"Sister Demon Guanyin, can you teach me some martial arts?" Ruolin asked, holding Demon Guanyin's hand. "I think learning some self-defense would be great. That way, if I encounter danger, I can protect myself and not worry Brother Mo Ming."
Mo Ming thought that Demon Guanyin would refuse, but to his surprise, she said, "Sure, as long as you're not afraid of hard work, I can teach you."
"I'm not afraid at all! Hehe... So should I call you Sister Demon Guanyin or Master Demon Guanyin from now on?" Ruolin asked with wide eyes, looking innocent.
"Call me whatever you like," Demon Guanyin replied lightly.
Ruolin thought for a moment and seriously nodded. "Then I'll call you Master Sister Demon Guanyin."
"Alright," Demon Guanyin agreed without objection.
Mo Ming felt a bit embarrassed...
