10 billion wouldnât be used up in a long time even in Flowing Snake. This Northern Sand really was wealthy. If he killed them, wouldnât all that wealth be his?
Thinking about this, Ye Mo was excited, but then he thought, âThat doesnât seem very possible.â Itâs said there are a lot of Northern Sand bases - how could he annihilate them all?
It wasnât just killing 30 people like today. It was reasonable that he killed today, because it was Northern Sand that offended him first. But if he really pissed off Northern Sand, he wouldnât be able to protect his people with his current power.
Thinking about this, Ye Mo was dejected. He was a mighty cultivator, yet he couldnât even protect those by his side. It seemed he would need to cultivate faster and increase the power of his men.
No matter what, he needed to know what the crystal was for. He couldnât ask questions with all these guys around, so he had to come back at night and ask privately. Other than that, the 10 billion also interested Ye Mo. He wasnât going to pass on that.
Thinking about this, he asked "Mr Liang, if that crystal is only fist-sized, wouldnât Yuan Zhirong have hid it in a secret place, and you guys might have missed it?"n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Liang Shiguo shook his head immediately, "Thatâs impossible; we have a detector which can detect it within 1000 meters, and it didnât find anything at the Yuan family."
No wonder even with the power of Northern Sand they didnât attack him straight away. They did suspect him and probably even went to Flowing Snake to check, but of course, they hadnât found anything.
Storage rings were really good things, werenât they? Ye Mo knew that there was no hightech in the world that could detect what was inside his ring. Ye Mo suddenly looked intensely pensive, as though making a hard decision.
"Mr Ye, although we donât know why Yuan Zhirong would blow up his mansion, the secret meetingâs footage that was leaked was probably related to you, right? Youâve been to his house, and thatâs why weâre asking you if you know where it was." Liang Shiguo reacted to Ye Moâs expression just the way he wanted, and this made him excited.
Ye Mo smiled, "I was the one who moved the bomb to their mansion and youâre right, I made the footage too. Although I donât know what that crystal is, I will go try and find it. Simply for that 10 billion alone, itâs worth it."
Liang Shiguo frowned. He didnât quite get what Ye Mo was thinking, but he thought Ye Mo didnât know where the crystal was.
"In that case, we wonât disturb Mr Ye anymore. Iâm deeply regretful about this misunderstanding. Of course, if you do manage to find the crystal, please contact us at first notice. This is my card." Liang Shiguo got up and handed Ye Mo a golden card.
Ye Mo suddenly reached out his hand to Liang Shiguo and said, "Iâm very sorry, Mr Liang. I didnât think it was something this small. If I had known, I wouldnât have offended the Northern Sand. I hope you can understand my desperate feeling at the time. At the same time, I wish to help Mr Liang find that crystal as fast as possible."
"Mr Ye, this is like getting to know each other through conflict. If Mr Ye can really find the crystal, then even bigger conflicts wouldnât matter at all," Liang Shiguo said with a smile.
Ye Mo sneered. He knew that Liang Shiguo was implyong that this thing wasnât over. If he found the crystal, things might be better, but if he didnât, he would be receiving Northern Sandâs fury.
Ye Mo shook hands with him just so he could mark him with his spirit sense. He wasnât going to let this Northern Sand off easily.
"Naturally, since Iâve decided to help you find the crystal, I will look for it wholeheartedly. How much time are you willing to give me?" Ye Mo knew that he hadnât completely started war with Northern Sand yet. He needed time to develop his own strength.
Liang Shiguo was dazed. He thought Ye Mo was just agreeing on the surface, but wouldnât be doing anything, yet now it seemed that Ye Mo really wanted to help them find the crystal. Liang Shiguo said happily, "I think if Mr Ye can find it in a year, then not only will you get the 10 billion easily, but you will also get other surprises."
What Liang Shiguo didnât expect was that after shaking hands with him, Ye Mo shook hands with Peter and Chen Zhui too. His expression was hospitable and deeply regretful as though this misunderstanding was all his fault.
Not only Liang Shiguo, but also Peter and Chen Zhui were weirded out by Ye Moâs drastic change in attitude. They didnât think of Ye Mo as someone timid, so after thinking about it a bit, only that 10 billion could explain things.
Ye Mo left Otherworldly Entertainment, but he didnât leave Luo Cang yet. He still had some business to take care of that night. He had marked them all.
After making sure no one was following him, Ye Mo went into another busy district and wanted to find a bar. Then he heard someone call out his name.
"Brother Mo!" a young girlâs voice sounded.
"Itâs you, Yang Yi?" Ye Mo remembered her; this was the girl which sat in the same carriage as he did when he first came to Luo Cang by train. She wasnât that pretty, but she was a very kind soul.
After finding out that Ye Mo had had his wallet stolen, she wanted to give Ye Mo money, but Ye Mo didnât take it.
"It really is you! Brother Mo, itâs been so long. After you and Er Hu left, you never contacted me again," Yang Yi said happily.
Ye Mo looked at her awkwardly. If he didnât see her here, he wouldâve forgotten her indeed.
"Xiao Yi, who is he?" a guy of medium build walked over and looked at Ye Mo in confusion.
Yang Yi quickly said, "This is Brother Mo Ying. Heâs very good at medicine. Brother Mo, this is my boyfriend, Liu Shang. By the way, how is your clinic going?"
Yang Yi spoke a lot.
"Hello, Iâm Liu Shang." Yang Yiâs boyfriend shook hands with Ye Mo in a friendly manner.
Ye Mo then said embarrassingly to Yang Yi, "Sorry, Yang Yi, I should confess that due to certain circumstances, I didnât tell you my real name in the past. Iâm actually called Ye Mo, and I stopped by clinic. Er Hu is doing very well. Youâre welcome to come hang out with us when you have time."
Before Yang Yi could reply, a group of people came.
"Yang Yi, Liu Shang, what are you two still doing here, letâs go!" a young girl called out. She was a little short, but her face was very exquisite.
"Okay, okay, weâre coming!" Yang Yi turned to Ye Mo and said, "Sorry, weâre about to graduate, and weâre having a celebration. Why donât you come with us?"
"I donât think itâs appropriate for me to go..." Ye Mo wanted to go find Liang Shiguo and co. at night. He wasnât interested in these gatherings.
Yang Yi whispered in Ye Moâs ear, "This time, itâs the richest person in my class paying for everyone at Yun Shang Pearl. Itâd be a waste not to go."
Ye Mo knew that restaurant. It was a 5 star restaurant, but right now, he wouldnât want to go to even an 8 star restaurant.
Before Ye Mo could reject, Yang Yi said, "Youâd get to see an extremely beautiful girl today. Gu Mingnan literally found her."
Ye Mo smiled, but didnât talk.
"Do you not believe me? He really found her. Last time when he went deep into the mountains to play with some friends, they found her unconscious and injured. Gu Mingnan saved her, and she stayed at his house. Itâs said that sheâs getting better, and so heâs bringing her tonight to show off," Yang Yi explained.
