The Lady of the Prestigious Family is a Big Boss-Chapter 771, then think about (1)

In just an instant, the ferocity faded from his reddened eyes, his gaze becoming scattered, no longer violent like before.

Ye Jiuliang put away the small bottle and watched closely for any changes in the expression on his face.

She spread her hand and waved it in front of Wang Shuo, her voice lowered, "Wang Shuo, you just need to listen to me now, don’t think about anything else."

Having seen Ye Jiuliang use hypnosis before, Ji Mingqian was no stranger to it and quietly watched on.

Wang Shuo’s expression was dull, his eyes blankly gazing at Ye Jiuliang, his temper seeming much more subdued.

Ye Jiuliang didn’t rush to question him. She waved her hand in front of him to confirm his emotions were mostly calmed, then she withdrew her hand.

She pursed her lips, her voice even lower, "Wang Shuo, when I sent you to get the herbs for me, did you encounter an attack by Mo Ce on the way?"

Wang Shuo dumbly shook his head.

Expecting that he wouldn’t recover his memory so quickly, Ye Jiuliang wasn’t disappointed and continued to question, "Wang Shuo, before you came here, what orders did Mo Ce give you?"

"Approach Ye Jiuliang, find an opportunity to make a move, regardless of life or death." This time, Wang Shuo finally spoke, his hoarse voice flatly stated.

"Was it Mo Ce who made you lose your memory?"

"No."

He didn’t lose his memory?

What was going on then?

Ye Jiuliang frowned, steadied her mind, then abruptly changed tack, "Who is Mo Ce to you?"

Wang Shuo asked with an expressionless face, "A benefactor."

What?

Ji Mingqian listened with surprise, reaching up to dig in his ear.

Had he misheard?

Mo Ce was his benefactor? What kind of benefactor would poison someone?

Unaffected, Ye Jiuliang speculated that Mo Ce not only erased his memory, but perhaps had manipulated it as well.

"Why is Mo Ce your benefactor?"

"When I woke up, he was my benefactor. Mo Tian harmed me, it was Mo Ce who saved me," Wang Shuo said.

Ye Jiuliang’s eyes darkened slightly, her suspicions confirmed; Mo Ce hadn’t merely erased Wang Shuo’s memory but had altered it.

He had managed to warp the truth, turning her master into Wang Shuo’s enemy. He really had some nerve.

"Where is Mo Ce now?" she asked, aiming for the crux of the matter.

"North of Y country, on West Bay Deserted Island."

Ye Jiuliang looked back at Ji Mingqian, and they exchanged glances.

Mo Ce had actually hidden in Y country, so close to her master’s island.

Ye Jiuliang contemplated for a moment, then turned her gaze back to Wang Shuo.

She had asked all she needed to; nothing more to inquire.

Ye Jiuliang snapped her fingers, and Wang Shuo’s eyelids slowly closed; his body slumped to the side, and he fell to the ground, asleep.

She stood up, and Ji Mingqian approached her.

He looked down at the man who had fainted on the ground, asking in a low voice, "Well, can he recover his memory?"

"He can." Ye Jiuliang turned and walked out, "But it will take some time."

Wang Shuo’s memory had likely been tampered with through hypnosis, so there was a significant chance of recovery. Once he woke up, they would first see how he was; if the recent hypnosis session had impacted his memory, the likelihood of recovery might be even higher. Perhaps another round of hypnosis could enable him to recall the missing parts of his memory.

Ji Mingqian followed her footsteps, and the two of them walked out of the basement.

"Now that we know Mo Ce’s hideout, it’s best we act quickly to avoid any more complications."

Wang Shuo had been ordered to get close to Ajiu, and if he didn’t return soon, it would surely arouse the suspicions of that crafty old fox, Mo Ce. If he escaped again this time, it would be much harder to find him in the future.

Ye Jiuliang hmmmed and said, "I’ll give Achen a call later, and we’ll leave tonight."

Ji Mingqian cast a skeptical glance at her noticeably pregnant belly, "You want to go, too?"

"Why can’t I go? Or do you want to fight about it now?" So what if she’s carrying a baby, she’s not a drag.

Realizing he might have said the wrong thing, Ji Mingqian touched his nose and let out a dry laugh, "Of course not. I just thought Li Mochan wouldn’t let you go."

After all, things were different now, she was pregnant and it wasn’t convenient for her to move around. With Li Mochan’s temperament, how could he possibly let her take such a risk?

Ye Jiuliang snorted lightly, barely letting him off the hook.

This time she had to go. She would feel even more uneasy staying at home.

As they talked, they walked into the living room, just as Li Mochan came out of the kitchen.

Seeing Ji Mingqian also came along, his eyebrows lifted teasingly, "Weren’t you going to catch up on some sleep?"

Ji Mingqian had thick skin and wasn’t bothered by the teasing; moreover, he needed Li Mochan’s help and wasn’t about to offend him by arguing at such a crucial moment.

"Your place has good feng shui. As soon as I came here, I was full of energy and not sleepy at all."

Next to him, Ye Jiuliang couldn’t help but laugh. This guy’s ability to spout nonsense was as consistent as ever.

Li Mochan gave him a look of disdain and then walked up to Ye Jiuliang, taking her hand, "Let’s eat breakfast."

Ye Jiuliang curved her lips in a smile and nodded in agreement.

"Do I get some too?" Ji Mingqian shamelessly followed behind them.

Li Mochan cruelly said, "No."

"Come on, we’re all family here, why be so stingy?"

As they walked into the dining room, Li Mochan pulled out a chair for Ye Jiuliang to sit down.

He lifted his eyes to look at the person who made himself comfortable on the opposite side and spoke in a deep voice, "Who said we are family?"

Ji Mingqian picked up a piece of toast and bit into it, his gaze dodging, not taking the bait to continue this line of conversation but quickly changed the subject, "Li Mochan, can we talk about something?"

"No."

"..."

Ji Mingqian was at his wit’s end, this rotten temper, he really didn’t know what Ajiu saw in him.

He looked towards Ye Jiuliang, gesturing for her to say a word on his behalf.

Ye Jiuliang shrugged her shoulders, she was helpless to assist.

Ji Mingqian was internally screaming, each of them heartless.

He gnawed viciously on the bread, looking at the man across from him sipping coffee, his smile obsequious, "Speaking of which, you’ve been to our K organization many times, how about letting me visit your Dark Hall?"

No matter how tactful the words were, his ulterior motives were laid bare.

Li Mochan glanced at him with an indifferent look in his eyes, his voice magnetic, "You want to visit Dark Hall?"

Ji Mingqian nodded, his smile almost splitting his face.

Li Mochan nonchalantly said, "Then keep on wanting."

"Pfft."

Ye Jiuliang burst into laughter, her delicate eyes curving into crescent moons.

Aqian must be about to suffer an internal injury from anger.

Ji Mingqian’s smile froze, and he glared fiercely at Li Mochan.

Frustrated, he dropped the nice guy act, "Li Mochan, what do you mean by that? You can go to our K organization, so why can’t I go to your Dark Hall?"

Li Mochan was definitely doing this on purpose, just wanting to see him make a fool of himself.

"You said you wanted to go. I never said you couldn’t want to go. Why are you glaring at me?" Li Mochan took a sip of his coffee and said calmly.
