"Hey, you don't need to say that. Boss, you know how Toxic Jar is; he likes to poison from the shadows and runs away when he encounters tough opponents. He wouldn't risk his life to track down Evil Eye and decisively gave up the chase," Liufeng chuckled.
As Liufeng said, Poisonous Madness is not weak but prefers to avoid direct confrontations. When faced with strong opponents, he wisely retreats, relishing the act of poisoning from behind the scenes. If someone accidentally falls victim to his poison, even a skilled healer would be unable to save them. Even Mo Ming has to be wary of Poisonous Madness's poisoning skills during their encounters, though Poisonous Madness would naturally not target Mo Ming.
"Heh, I actually forgot about that guy's style," Mo Ming said with a wry smile, shaking his head. "Aside from Evil Eye getting away, have all the other members of the 'Dark Order' been dealt with? Have you found Yang Yuan and Lingyun Tian? I suspect that the 'Dark Order' wants to rescue them to use them as pawns against me. I don't want to be watched by a pack of rabid dogs every day."
"We haven't found them. Toxic Jar mentioned that Lingyun Tian and the others left with Evil Eye, and they haven't shown up since," Liufeng replied, shaking his head. "I think Evil Eye came here specifically to escort Lingyun Tian and the others away. Heh, Lingyun Tian must have quite a reputation if someone like Evil Eye is coming to his aid."
"Perhaps those dogs are quite useful after all. To be on the safe side, they sent out a master like Evil Eye for support," Mo Ming said. "But who exactly is the leader of 'Dark Order' that can command Evil Eye? It's truly puzzling."
Evil Eye holds a very high position within the 'Dark Order', known for being ruthless and disregarding familial ties. He does whatever he pleases and listens to no one. The fact that 'Dark Order' can keep someone like him around is something that leaves Mo Ming baffled.
A person with such capabilities surely wouldn't submit easily; they would always feel superior. For 'Dark Order' to recruit such an arrogant master, there must either be someone even more powerful within or something that attracts Evil Eye.
Money, beauty, or status?
None of these could possibly tempt someone like Evil Eye. After all, with his current abilities, he could have anything he wanted; it was as easy as turning clouds into rain. Yet he willingly became part of the 'Dark Order'. What secrets lie within that organization? For now, Mo Ming had no clues.
However, thinking about it today made Mo Ming quite curious about how 'Dark Order' managed to gather so many skilled individuals under its banner.
Unable to figure it out, Mo Ming decided not to dwell on it any longer. His mind flashed to Murong Lian, and he immediately asked, "By the way, how is Murong Lian doing? Has she shown any signs of mental breakdown?"
Recalling the incident at the Phoenix Grand Hotel, where Murong Lian had panicked and mentally collapsed, becoming incredibly fragile—like porcelain that could shatter with a light touch—worried him greatly. Given that her emotional state had just stabilized before facing another crisis, he wondered if she could withstand it.
Feeling somewhat guilty, Mo Ming remembered that he had come to Nanhua City specifically to protect Murong Lian. Instead of safeguarding her, he had inadvertently led her into one dangerous situation after another. It could be said that encountering him was unfortunate for her.
"I don't have a past, so I'm not very clear about her situation. If you want to know, why not call Toxic Jar? Murong Lian is being taken care of by him," Liufeng said with a meaningful smile at Mo Ming. "I think Toxic Jar has already sent her back. If you're really worried, you might as well go see her yourself."
"Mm." Mo Ming replied lightly and said to Liufeng, "You handle things here. Bury what needs to be buried, and do it cleanly. We can't have any nameless bloodshed; that would cause social unrest."
"Okay, I'll take care of it properly," Liufeng nodded and asked Mo Ming, "Boss, do you have any progress with the Little Green Society?"
"I've already talked to Ah Yun about the Little Green Society. As for Zhuge Sheng's attitude, I'm not sure yet, but I've only given him a week to think it over. Given the current situation, I don't want to drag this out any longer," Mo Ming said, his eyes filled with killing intent as he clenched his fists tightly. "I need to find a suitable time to deal with the matter of Murong Wei's escape. Once I leave, Liufeng, you'll be in charge here. Make sure to establish our influence as soon as possible!"
It wouldn't be easy to eradicate Murong Lian's inner demons. The most feasible way Mo Ming could think of was to quickly capture Gong Gao Yi for revenge on Murong Lian's mother. This way, even if it couldn't completely eradicate the issue, it could at least improve Murong Lian's mood.
"Boss, are you talking about Gong Gao Yi?" Liufeng had heard Mo Ming mention this before; he had helped arrange matters in Y Country, so he understood Gong Gao Yi's situation better than Mo Ming did.
"Right, how is your arrangement going?" Mo Ming nodded.
"It's almost arranged. I sent Lion over first; he said he has basically controlled the scattered small gangs and hasn't attracted the attention of the Frank Family for now. However, Lion mentioned that he hasn't been able to track down Gong Gao Yi's whereabouts," Liufeng reported to Mo Ming.
"Gong Gao Yi is getting old; he's probably hiding somewhere nice enjoying himself now. It won't be easy to find his hiding place," Mo Ming nodded and thought for a moment before saying, "Let Lion start from Gong Gao Yi's daughter; I think we can find some clues."
"Mm, I'll have Lion keep an eye on that," Liufeng said with a hint of concern in his eyes. "But Boss, our foundation is unstable. Is it a bit rash to go after Frank and that big family in Y Country? Shouldn't we prepare a bit more?"
"No need. I promised Murong Old Man, and I owe Murong Lian a lot. I must resolve this matter as soon as possible," Mo Ming said firmly. "I know that with our strength, taking on Reed is somewhat reckless, but it's not impossible. I think we can use more cunning strategies to avoid direct confrontation; that way there won't be too much danger."
"But..."
Liufeng still felt uneasy. It wasn't that he was timid, but the opponent was an established family whose strength should not be underestimated. The "Yihun" had developed rapidly in recent years, but it was too fragmented; engaging in open conflict with a major force was truly dangerous. Liufeng was worried about Mo Ming's safety.
Mo Ming was naturally aware of Liufeng's concerns, but he had made up his mind. Gong Gao Yi had to be brought back to Murong Lian. No matter the cost, he needed to repay Murong Lian some favors.
"You don't need to say more. I have my plans, and you don't need to advise me. Just handle things well on your end," Mo Ming said, patting Liufeng on the shoulder with a smile. "I can promise you that if the situation turns bad, I will retreat immediately and not act recklessly."
"Damn!" Liufeng punched Mo Ming on the shoulder and rolled his eyes. "I know you too well, stubborn as a mule. You won't give up until you've finished what you started, will you?"
"Heh, didn't expect you to understand me so well?" Mo Ming rubbed his shoulder with a playful grin. "Don't worry about me. If Reed wants to take me down, he'll at least have to suffer some injuries himself. My life as a Shura isn't something Yama can easily claim!"
"Fine, if you're willing to die, then I definitely won't burn money for you!" Liufeng shook his head with a bitter smile. "I'll handle things here so you can focus on your work over there. But let me make it clear: if you die, I'll definitely gather a bunch of brothers to take down Reed. We might as well go down together; what else can we do!"
"Come on, no need to go that far, brother!" Mo Ming nodded with a wry smile. "Don't worry; I'll come back alive to see you. Damn it, how could I possibly die while that bunch from the 'Dark Order' is still around!"
Mo Ming and Liufeng exchanged smiles, their brotherly bond understood without further words. Liufeng knew Mo Ming's character; persuading him was simply a waste of breath, so he stopped talking. However, his words were heartfelt; if Mo Ming died, Reed wouldn't have an easy time either!
Leaving the mess in the warehouse for Liufeng to handle, Mo Ming left and headed straight for Murong Wei's Hillside Mansion. At this moment, he felt some concern for Murong Lian, wanting to see her personally.
The car sped along quickly until it reached the entrance of Murong Wei's home. From a distance, Mo Ming saw a graceful figure standing by the window, gazing blankly into the distance. When she noticed Mo Ming's arrival, her expression changed momentarily before disappearing from view.
That graceful figure was indeed Murong Lian. Seeing her like this made Mo Ming feel a pang of sadness. Before he met her, she was a proud daughter of heaven—healthy and living a peaceful life. But ever since they met, she had become fragile.
In reality, Mo Ming had taken all the burdens upon himself. The incident caused by Yang Yuan, known as the Feng Lai Heist, was something that couldn't be avoided. If it weren't for Mo Ming intervening, things would likely have turned out much worse.
Mo Ming stopped the car but did not open the door. Murong Lian opened the main door and appeared in Mo Ming's line of sight, a hint of joy on her face. She stood quietly at the entrance, her gaze soft as water, resting on Mo Ming.
Seeing Murong Lian like this, Mo Ming didn't think much of it. He opened the car door and walked over. When he was about a meter away, Mo Ming revealed a slight smile and said, "Are you okay?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Murong Lian suddenly hugged Mo Ming tightly, her arms locking around him as if afraid he would slip away like an eel. Before Mo Ming could respond, Murong Lian buried her head in his embrace.
At that moment, Mo Ming felt a bit awkward and astonished. His hands were raised in the air, unsure of what to do. Coming to his senses, Mo Ming forced a smile and said, "Murong Lian, what's wrong with you?"
Murong Lian did not respond at all to Mo Ming's question, leaving him feeling even more helpless. This was the same Murong Lian who used to enjoy opposing him; how could she suddenly be so warmly affectionate?
Could it be that she was too startled?
"What exactly is going on? You're suddenly so proactive in your affection; I'm not quite used to it." Mo Ming attempted to ease the atmosphere and gently tried to push Murong Lian away but was unsuccessful. He laughed and said, "Did you not say I was a male actor and very disgusting?"
Even with Mo Ming putting himself down like that, it didn't elicit a single word from Murong Lian. He felt a bit frustrated; what had happened to her today? It was as if she had completely transformed into another person.
Women’s hearts are indeed hard to guess!
