The Lady of the Prestigious Family is a Big Boss-Chapter 778, I’ll wait for you on the Road to the Underworld (2)
"How did it go?" Ji Mingqian had taken quite a bit of effort to infiltrate this place.
Wang Shuo nodded lightly.
Ji Mingqian curled his lips into a smile, "Alright then, let’s go take care of those patrolling guards first."
Wang Shuo hummed in agreement, and the two left without attracting attention.
Having frequented this place before, Wang Shuo was quite familiar with the island.
Moreover, with Ji Mingqian disguised as the Mo butler, their movements were even more unimpeded.
"The stuff Ajiu gave is really useful." Ji Mingqian looked at the black-clad men lying scattered on the ground, fiddling with a small porcelain bottle between his fingers.
They temporarily knocked them out to avoid rousing any suspicion; after dealing with Mo Ce, it would be easy to come back for these men.
"Are there any others?"
After Wang Shuo finished counting the subdued men in black, a smile curved his lips, "No more, we can signal Jiuliang and the others to come over."
Ji Mingqian whistled and sent out a message on his phone.
He put away his phone with an easy demeanor, "Let’s go, we’re going to meet that old fox, Mo Ce."
He was curious to see just how much Mo Ce resembled his master.
Mo Ce’s residence was located in the most central part of the island, with everyone else living in houses around him.
With the island’s guards taken care of, Ji Mingqian and Wang Shuo strutted into the villa where Mo Ce resided.
Ji Mingqian surveyed the interior decor, his tongue clicking at the sight of numerous valuable antiques used as decoration.
This old man Mo Ce sure knew how to enjoy himself, building such a luxurious villa on this barren island was simply wasteful.
"It’s on the second floor," Wang Shuo reminded.
Ji Mingqian withdrew his gaze, putting on a stern face, emulating the Mo butler’s demeanor rather convincingly.
Even his walking pace was identical to that of the Mo butler.
Wang Shuo, watching from the side, couldn’t help but silently praise how perfectly executed it was. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂
He’d only mentioned some of the Mo butler’s usual habits to him yesterday, yet he’d managed to replicate them so accurately after hearing just a few sentences.
Had he not known his true identity, he might not have been able to tell that the Mo butler in front of him was an imposter.
The entire left side of the second floor had been converted into one large room, with the study directly opposite.
Wang Shuo glanced at the tightly shut door of the room and then at the ajar door to the study, instantly understanding the situation.
He turned his head to Ji Mingqian and gave him a meaningful look.
Ji Mingqian nodded understandingly, adjusted his direction, and walked into the study, with Wang Shuo following behind.
A faint scent of ink filled the air; if one paid close attention, there was also a hint of tea fragrance.
Ji Mingqian saw the old man bending over the desk, writing with a brush, and his eyes flickered slightly.
This was Mo Ce?
The elder kept his head down, his silver-white hair neatly groomed. Despite the soft sunlight filtering through the window, it could not soften the sinister aura surrounding him.
Ji Mingqian collected his thoughts, mimicking the Mo butler’s voice, and called out without betraying any emotion, "Master."
"What’s the matter now?" Not noticing anything amiss, the old master didn’t raise his head, dipping his brush in ink.
"Master, Wang Shuo has returned."
At this, the old master’s hand holding the brush paused, the tip veered off-course, and the artwork, nearing completion, was ruined.
He put down the brush, looked up, and saw the person standing behind the Mo Family’s butler, his face turning cloudy in an instant.
Containing his rage, he said, "What are you doing back so suddenly, is the task I assigned you completed?"
Wang Shuo bowed his head, hiding from the old master’s sight, a mocking cold smile twinkling in his eyes.
His silence, in the old master’s eyes, undoubtedly meant he had botched the task.
Just as he was about to lose his temper, Ji Mingqian spoke up first, "Old Master, there’s a reason for this, please let me explain."
The old master frowned at him, waiting for what he had to say.
"Old Master, Li Mochan found him in the capital and injured him. Fearing that Li Mochan would discover his hideout, he had to come back first," Ji Mingqian calculated how much longer it would take for Ye Jiuliang and the others to arrive and tried to buy time.
"Didn’t I tell you to be careful? How could you let Li Mochan and his people find you?" The old master looked at Wang Shuo with sharp annoyance in his eyes, "You can’t even handle this trivial matter, useless."
"You spend so much effort scheming against a ’useless’ person, seems like you’re not that clever either." A clear, cold voice came from outside the doorway, carrying a hint of icy mirth.
The old master’s expression darkened in an instant, retreating reflexively.
Almost simultaneously, he opened a drawer and took out a gun.
"Who is it?"
The sound of footsteps rose, and the figure outside the door gradually became clearer.
Ye Jiuliang walked in front, accompanied by Li Mochan and others.
All were present, but the old master was far from pleased.
Damn it, how did they find this place.
With a piercing gaze fixed on Wang Shuo, he asserted, "Did you lead them here?"
"So what if I did." Wang Shuo lifted his head, the earlier gloom gone, replaced by his usual confident composure.
The old master’s face turned ugly; the situation was clear. Wang Shuo had recovered his memory; he remembered everything and could no longer be used by him.
Ye Jiuliang and his companions scrutinized the elderly man from a distance. They’d known from Mo Chen that Mo Ce looked very similar to their master, and indeed, as Mo Chen had said, they had at least a sixty to seventy percent resemblance.
If one said there was no relation between him and their master, they would never believe it.
"Old Master Mo, it seems your eyesight has gotten bad with age."
Mocking words rang out, as the Old Master Mo turned his gaze to the "butler", feeling a thump in his heart.
Without waiting for his guess, Ji Mingqian raised his hand and tore off the human skin mask on his face, the handsome visage behind it wearing a carefree smile.
"Seems my performance was quite successful."
Old Master Mo realized he had completely fallen into their trap; his face turned as black as coal, his chest filled with fury.
"What have you done to him?"
"Turns out Old Master Mo can get angry too. I thought regardless of who died, Old Master Mo would find it insignificant," Ye Jiuliang said nonchalantly.
The dark muzzle of the gun pointed at Ye Jiuliang, as the old master demanded furiously, "What exactly have you done to him?"
The butler was his confidant, ever since he left the Mo Family, he had been by his side all the time; to him, the butler was more useful and more trustworthy to him than Mo Yu.
"Sent him on the Road to the Underworld to wait for you," Ji Mingqian said airily.
Old Master Mo was beside himself with rage, nearly spitting blood, "You..."
Li Mochan furrowed his brows, stepped forward, and shielded Ye Jiuliang. Mo Ce was unstable emotionally, and it wouldn’t do if he hurt Li Mochan’s wolf cub.
Ye Jiuliang gave a knowing smile, his gaze turning frosty when he looked at the old master, "Mo Ce, it’s about time we settled our numerous scores."
