The Lady of the Prestigious Family is a Big Boss-Chapter 750, if you like it, don’t be a wuss (2)

Ye Jiuliang sized him up and teased, "Look at you, all scruffy. If you get photographed like this, you might even lose fans."

"I’m not afraid of losing fans when I have so many," Ji Mingqian retorted confidently.

Ye Jiuliang, "..."

Indeed, he found this smug look of his rather more pleasing to the eye.

Just then, a phone call came in.

It was from Gu Xinuo.

Ye Jiuliang slid to answer, and Gu Xinuo’s voice bombarded him, "Ajiu, is Aqian with you? Achen can’t find him."

"He’s with us, tell Achen to stop looking," Ye Jiuliang said indifferently, glancing over at Ji Mingqian.

"He’ll be heading back soon."

On the other end of the phone, Gu Xinuo breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, I got it. Also, we’re going back to the headquarters. What should we do about Mo Su?"

"She’s of no use to us anymore. You guys handle her as you see fit," Ye Jiuliang replied.

Gu Xinuo hummed in response and circled back to the topic of Ji Mingqian.

"Is Aqian alright now?"

"He can eat and run. What do you think?" Ye Jiuliang said somberly.

Meanwhile, Ji Mingqian felt the urge to smash something.

What do you mean he can eat and run?

Made him sound like a pig.

"As long as he’s fine. Tell him to come back after he’s eaten, and stop wandering around outside," Gu Xinuo finally felt relieved and said with a laugh.

Ye Jiuliang turned down the speaker volume so Ji Mingqian could hear clearly.

"..."

What did she mean by him wandering around outside.

Such poor judgment in friends.

After chatting with Gu Xinuo for a while, Ye Jiuliang hung up the phone and checked his watch; it was almost time.

Ji Mingqian got to his feet, hesitating as he looked at Ye Jiuliang, "I’m heading out first."

Ye Jiuliang curved his lips into a smile, standing up to see him off.

At the door, Ji Mingqian couldn’t help but ask, "How’s his wound doing?"

The "he" he mentioned was obviously clear.

Ye Jiuliang pretended not to understand, "Who are you talking about?"

Seeing her innocuous smile, Ji Mingqian clenched his teeth.

"..."

This guy was clearly doing it on purpose.

"Ye Jiuliang, you know very well who I’m talking about. Don’t play dumb," he said irritably.

"If you don’t say it, how would I know?" Ye Jiuliang continued to feign confusion.

He raised his voice, "Ye Jiuliang."

"Alright already, you’ve practically deafened me," Ye Jiuliang leaned back, looking annoyed.

"You can’t even admit when you care about someone. Just keep up your stubborn act," she said.

Ji Mingqian’s expression became slightly unnatural, "Hurry up and tell me."

"Just taking medicine and recuperating. Plus some rest," she replied.

Ji Mingqian asked again, "Where is he?"

"The wind is so strong. What did you just say? I didn’t hear clearly." Ye Jiuliang looked up at the sky, fiddling with her ear, pretending to be confused again.

Ji Mingqian was utterly exasperated, internally criticizing, such terrible acting.

"Go back and get cleaned up. You look like a forlorn old man with that scruffy appearance," Ye Jiuliang changed the subject, teasing him.

"Ye Jiuliang, you and Li Mochan are really a match made in heaven," Ji Mingqian spat out through gritted teeth.

Just as annoying, still deserving a beating.

Ye Jiuliang grinned and accepted the compliment, "I think so too."

Ji Mingqian glared at her and left without looking back.

Just as he opened the car door, he heard Ye Jiuliang’s voice from behind, "Aqian, if you like her, don’t be a coward, just snatch her away if it comes to that."

Ji Mingqian felt a warmth in his heart and a faint smile appeared on his lips.

Snatch her away? 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

That was something to consider.

Watching the car fade into the distance, Ye Jiuliang smiled faintly.

No matter what others thought, they would always support any decision he made, such was the tacit understanding among the four of them.

...

"Not even able to bring back a Mo Chen, how did he handle things?" Old Master Mo slammed the table and thundered with fury.

So many strongholds had fallen into the hands of Dark Hall and the K organization, his life’s work, now gone.

Unable to retrieve the iron box and having lost so much of his efforts, how could he not be angry?

On the other side, Mo’s steward bowed his head and strategized, "Master, why not send more people to get rid of Ye Yuan?"

Old Master Mo remained silent, pacing back and forth in the room.

After a moment of silence, he said in a calm voice, "Put the previous plans on hold, tell Wang Shuo to keep an eye on Ye Jiuliang, and seize the opportunity to act against her."

He no longer had the luxury of time to wait. If things continued this way, he would only continue to lose more men. He needed to get the iron box back as soon as possible. As long as he could capture Ye Jiuliang, Li Mochan wouldn’t pose a threat, and Chu Chen and his side would be wary and wouldn’t act rashly.

He wanted to reclaim all that he had lost, all at once.

"But after this incident, Ye Jiuliang and the others will certainly be on their guard, and according to Wang Shuo, the young master has already recognized his identity," Mo’s steward voiced his concerns.

"So what if his identity has been recognized," Old Master Mo said with a disdainful smirk.

"Since Ye Jiuliang and his group are so eager to find Wang Shuo, let’s have Wang Shuo deliver himself to them."

Mo’s steward was taken aback and then quickly understood the implications of Old Master Mo’s words, "Master, do you want Wang Shuo to take the initiative to find Ye Jiuliang?"

Old Master Mo narrowed his eyes, a sharp light flashing within them, "Ye Jiuliang doesn’t really know that Wang Shuo has lost his memory. Go tell Wang Shuo that he looks very similar to someone close to Ye Jiuliang, and have him appear before her, to confess that he is an undercover operative at my side, and find an opportunity to strike when she’s not paying attention."

Mo’s steward asked, "Do we take her alive, or..."

"Dead or alive," Old Master Mo said ruthlessly.

If Ye Jiuliang was wounded or killed, Li Mochan would be thrown into chaos, and Chu Chen and his group would panic, which would provide a good opportunity for him to make his move.

Mo’s steward respectfully responded, "Understood."

**

At one o’clock in the morning, the capital was shrouded in darkness, the deep black inkiness causing an inexplicable sense of panic.

Stepping off the plane and back onto the lands of the capital, Ye Yuan felt as if worlds apart from his past.

Decades had passed, and the capital had changed drastically, and she was no longer there.

A hint of melancholy flashed through Ye Yuan’s eyes, but he quickly concealed his loss.

Li Mochan and Mo Chen were handling the luggage, leaving Ye Jiuliang free, she turned to Ye Yuan, "Dad, let’s go inside first."

Ye Yuan hummed an acknowledgment and followed her into the living room.

It had been a while since they had been home. There were regular cleanings, so it was quite tidy.

Having slept the entire flight, Ye Jiuliang was now wide awake, she started to look for a takeout menu to order some late-night snacks.

Upon hearing about food, Mo Chen also came over to join in.

After ordering fried chicken, she added hot and sour rice noodles and spicy hot pot, a true midnight feast.

Li Mochan moved the suitcases upstairs, and by the time he came down, the two of them had just finished ordering the late-night snacks.

"Mohan, what do you want to eat?"

Li Mochan rolled up his sleeves, "Anything’s fine."

He wasn’t very hungry anyway, he was just going to eat a little while keeping her company.
