Wen Dongâs car sped on the roads around the mountain. If one looked outside, one would probably be fearful of the car falling off the cliff at any time; however, Wen Dong drove the car fast and steady. Despite so, many cars on the road saw Wen Dong, and all stopped by the road, fearful that this mad woman was going to crash into them.
Wen Dong was speechless. Even if Ye Mo wasnât scared of being in a car going so fast without barricades to protect the car from falling off the road, he should at least open his eyes; however, he actually was quietly sleeping.
Were his nerves just thick or did he trust her driving skills? Wait, did he even know her car skills were so good? In fact, even her heart was pumping, driving so fast on this mountain road.
Wen Dong thought of the moment when she first saw Ye Mo and his fearless nerves. Wen Dong finally got to understand Ye Mo a bit. Using nice words, he could be described as a completely fearless young man, but in a meaner tone, he was a fool. However, this type of people was perfectly suited to her, since she needed exactly this type of people to help her. Otherwise, it would be really hard for her to do the deal by herself.
Seeing that Ye Mo didnât take notice of the carâs speed, Wen Dong finally slowed down. After all, they were driving on the mountain side, and it was quite dangerous going this fast as there were a lot of twists and turns. She would raise the speed again after they got off the mountain.
But at this moment, Ye Mo opened his eyes and asked casually, âHow far is it?â
Wen Dong heard Ye Moâs words and immediately replied: âAround 600 km.â
âStill that far! How long is it going to take with you driving so slowly?â Ye Mo frowned and said. Hearing Ye Moâs words, Wen Dong almost drove the car off the cliff. She thought that she was going fast enough already but this still wasnât fast enough for him? No wonder this guy didnât talk, he thought she was driving too slow.
âWe are still on the mountainâs road; weâll drive faster once we reach the highway,â Wen Dong replied helplessly. Luckily, Ye Mo didnât continue to talk about her driving speed and closed his eyes to meditate. If Ye Moâs tone just then really sounded unhappy, she wouldâve thought he was messing with her.
After the car got on the highway, Wen Dong finally raised the speed. Ye Mo felt that the car was a bit floaty, so he looked at the carâs speed meter and saw that it had just reached 200km/h. At this speed, it only took them less than two hours to reach Yun Du. However, the car didnât enter the city and instead parked outside a mansion in the rural district.
Ye Mo scanned this mansion; it looked very grandiloquent, with a cluster of bamboo outside the mansion as well as a huge artificial lake. The yard of the mansion was also very spacious as seven to eight luxury cars were parked there, and the grass patch at the front was enough to be made into two soccer fields. It could be seen that the owner of this mansion was definitely wealthy.
âYou carry that smaller case, and Iâll take the bigger one,â after saying that, Wen Dong got off the car and grabbed the big case from the back. Ye Mo knew that inside this big case was an AK rifle, while the smaller one contained some information and a model.
Ye Mo looked at Wen Dong thoughtfully. Being able to own such a huge yard and a mansion on the outskirts of the city meant that this person had not only money but also connections; otherwise, such occurrence rarely happened.
Thinking about this, Ye Mo took out his beak-shaped hat and shades from his bag and put them on. Then, he grabbed a mouth mask before finally carrying the case Wen Dong told him to carry.
Wen Dong looked at Ye Moâs appearance, and her mouth moved but finally didnât say anything. She didnât understand why Ye Mo would do something like this. In her opinion, Ye Mo had thick nerves and wasnât the type to think about being hunted because of revenge. However, Ye Mo did this, and she didnât know what he was thinking, so she remained silent.
Ye Moâs appearance did look really cool, and it gave people an indescribable feeling.
âThis isnât bad,â Wen Dong muttered and carried the case into the mansion. However, she didnât drive her car in. The two guards at the door scanned Ye Mo, but when the two guards saw Wen Dong coming in, they didnât even stop or question her, much less search her, and just let them in.
Ye Moâs spirit sense range was too short right now, and he could only see five to six meters from his position; even that was a bit blurry. Thus, he couldnât check this entire mansion.
âHaha, Mrs. Wen is still looking strong and good after leaving the Northern Sands. Iâve been waiting for a long time. Give Mrs. Wen a seat and serve her tea!â When Ye Mo and Wen Dong went into the living room, a slightly old sounding voice appeared.
âTea wonât be necessary, I want to finish the deal immediately and leave when Iâm done. We wonât have anything to do with each other after that,â Wen Dong waved her hand and said straightforwardly.
Ye Mo looked at the person speaking, it was a 50-or-so-year-old man. His hair was a bit white, but his spirit was ferocious and had this bleak Killerâs Chi on him. Although he had a smile on his face, his eyes were very sharp and flickering. This wasnât a simple man and appeared to be a very suspicious person.
However, for Ye Mo, this man should be at most around Wen Dongâs level, or even lower than her, and didnât think of him as a threat. No matter how suspicious he was, it was ethereal and insignificant, like clouds in front of absolute power.
There were two men on either side of this person. Unexpectedly, there werenât the people guarding the door that Wen Dong and Ye Mo came from. Ye Mo saw this guyâs bleak appearance and knew he wasnât someone easy to talk to. There werenât people at the door, and this didnât match the manâs temperament.
Ye Mo scanned with his spirit sense out and immediately found another four people. There were two at the door, with one squatting on each side and all had guns in their hands. It was just that the two people cleverly used the ping feng [1] to cover it. The two people at the door hid outside after he and Wen Dong came in.
It was not surprising that Wen Dong didnât notice the people behind the ping feng because it had a lot of holes in the middle which made it see-through, and on top of that, it was hollow at the bottom, so it didnât look conspicuous.
The only reason Ye Mo could see them was because he could scan it using his spirit sense. Although this ping feng looked something like a painting and was hollow in the middle, the side near the interior of the mansion was three-dimensional; however, because of their careful placement, the people who walked in from the door would only notice an ordinary ping feng. If Ye Mo didnât have spirit sense, he wouldnât be able to see it either.
However, even if Ye Mo didnât know that the interior side was hollow, he could still see some problems. Wen Dong probably didnât see it because the side of the ping feng near the door was nailed into the ground. Who would nail a ping feng to the ground in the living room? This obviously wasnât normal.
The part of the ping feng that was empty had a person squatting inside it. This personâs clothes were all the same color as the ping feng and also had quite some holes in it. However, it was cleverly made so that the person who entered the door could only see a small half. Usually, someone who saw such an ordinary ping feng and could still see clearly the other side, wouldnât pay much attention to it.
It seemed that Wen Dongâs deal wasnât going to be as simple as he had thought; it appeared that this 50,000 dollars wouldnât be easy to earn.
