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 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 cald, then she withdrew her hand.
She pursed her lips, her voice even lower, "Wang Shuo, when I sent you to get the herbs for , did you encounter an attack by Mo Ce on the way?"
Wang Shuo dumbly shook his head.
Expecting that he wouldn’t recover his mory so quickly, Ye Jiuliang wasn’t disappointed and continued to question, "Wang Shuo, before you ca here, what orders did Mo Ce give you?"
"Approach Ye Jiuliang, find an opportunity to make a move, regardless of life or death." This ti, Wang Shuo finally spoke, his hoarse voice flatly stated.
"Was it Mo Ce who made you lose your mory?"
"No."
He didn’t lose his mory?
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 soone?
Unaffected, Ye Jiuliang speculated that Mo Ce not only erased his mory, but perhaps had manipulated it as well.
"Why is Mo Ce your benefactor?"
"When I woke up, he was my benefactor. Mo Tian hard , it was Mo Ce who saved ," Wang Shuo said.
Ye Jiuliang’s eyes darkened slightly, her suspicions confird; Mo Ce hadn’t rely erased Wang Shuo’s mory but had altered it.
He had managed to warp the truth, turning her master into Wang Shuo’s enemy. He really had so 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 mont, 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 mory?"
"He can." Ye Jiuliang turned and walked out, "But it will take so ti."
Wang Shuo’s mory 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 mory, the likelihood of recovery might be even higher. Perhaps another round of hypnosis could enable him to recall the missing parts of his mory.
Ji Mingqian followed her footsteps, and the two of them walked out of the basent.
"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 ti, it would be much harder to find him in the future.
Ye Jiuliang hmmd 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 temperant, how could he possibly let her take such a risk?
Ye Jiuliang snorted lightly, barely letting him off the hook.
This ti she had to go. She would feel even more uneasy staying at ho.
As they talked, they walked into the living room, just as Li Mochan ca out of the kitchen.
Seeing Ji Mingqian also ca along, his eyebrows lifted teasingly, "Weren’t you going to catch up on so 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 mont.
"Your place has good feng shui. As soon as I ca 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 agreent.
"Do I get so too?" Ji Mingqian shalessly followed behind them.
Li Mochan cruelly said, "No."
"Co 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 sothing?"
"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 tis, how about letting 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 an 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 ?" Li Mochan took a sip of his coffee and said calmly.
