Chapter 356: Untitled

Rome, Italy.

A few kilometers away from the northwest end of the Arch of Septimius Severus was an ancient Gothic castle, which was nearly two thousand acres in size. The main castle was Gothic-styled, which looked like a government conference hall if one looked at it from the middle.

At the back of the castle, there were five small castles with different styles. There were countless ambulatories and dark passages connected to one another and the buildings were so magnificent that they were named as the greatest landscape near the ancient Roman square.

It was said that this castle belonged to the richest man in the Roman Empire. In fact, it was a base of operations of Chu Li in Rome. He was bold to have built it so near the ancient Roman square. One had to admit that the leaders of the terrorists in that generation were all strangely unique and courageous.

In an independent and beautiful room, Ning Ning sat quietly on the bed, speechless. Bai Ye had checked his eyes for the third time in the night and his eyes were still blurry and filled with blood. His dark eyes were covered with a light, thin red veil. At first sight, they looked fine, but when he looked carefully, he realized that they were getting redder and weirder. Even the genius doctor, Bai Ye, could not do anything about it.

It was caused by the deep mental burden of the young kid. After Xu Nuo had jumped off the cliff with her body on fire, his world was filled with the color red of despair, which burned his eyes and his heart. The last back view she had left him was the red of the fire and heat.

The red was hot but desperate.

Bai Ye felt sorry upon seeing him not uttering a word. There wasn’t any usual indifferent look, only pity. His love for him was no less than Chu Li’s. He loved the child’s abilities and personality.

“Ning Ning, would you like to sleep? Aren’t you sleepy yet? ” Bai Ye asked softly while caressing the young kid’s hair. His smile was like a spring breeze. “Look at how frustrated you are. We feel bad for you too.”

The young kid did not have any reaction. He was in a daze and his eyes were empty. He kept still and propped his chin on his knee without any facial expression. It was as if a thin layer of ice had formed on the calm lake in March.

There was an empty void within the coldness.

Bai Ye smiled and sat on the bed. He hugged the young kid and said, “I really don’t understand what love is and why it can make a person mad. Previously, Chu Li had made mistakes when giving commands and almost died because he was distracted by Rong Yan. In the year before, he had fallen into the trap on purpose and was shot twenty-three times in order to get Rong Yan back to him. He almost died too. Now, you are also behaving like him. Why are you all so childish?”

“That little girl is called Xu Nuo, right? Well, it’s a nice name. Ning Ning, we’re still not sure if she’s dead. Are you sure you’d rather not look at this world? What if she’s still alive? Wouldn’t it be a pity for you? If your deep mental burden gets more and more serious, the temporary blindness will become permanent. You wouldn’t be able to see her if she comes back. Won’t you be sad then?” Bai Ye’s tone was, as always, indifferent. But this time, he sounded warm. The warmth surrounded the young kid. He continued. “Listen to my words. Sleep and don’t think about anything. She might be back tomorrow. Chu Li has sent someone to find her and we must have hope in everything.”

Bai Ye sounded reasonable and logical, but the young kid was indifferent and still looked blank and empty. He didn’t even know whether the young kid had heard him or not. He felt sorry for him.

He was such a lovely, bold, and black-bellied child. Bai Ye was reluctant to see him destroy his life.

The wind blew slowly and the blue curtain fluttered, reflecting the blue sky that was not far away. It was sunny and cloudless. In the good weather, the warm wind blew in and raised the hair in front of the young kid’s forehead, sweeping it on his eyes. It made the pale red veil in his eyes obvious, which looked scary.

Ye Wei pushed the door in and raised her eyebrows. “No reaction yet?”

Bai Ye spread his arms and felt helpless. “You have to see if the man wants to be saved by you before you can save a man,” he said.

“What do you mean?” Ye Wei came over and sat on the bed. She held the young kid’s face, looked at it, and then let him go. She couldn’t bear to look into his eyes. The emptiness was heartbreaking.

They were indeed expressionless and stupefied. However, she seemed to see his deep despair and sorrow through his eyes, which no longer looked smart and intelligent. It was like his soul was crying. She couldn’t bear to see it.

Bai Ye couldn’t bear to see him like this either, so he held him from the back and avoided his eyes.

“He most probably can’t hear us,” Bai Ye said. The always cool and indifferent man was very helpless. “If he can’t hear, everything we say is useless.”

Ye Wei frowned, raised her hand, and wanted to hit him. Bai Ye quickly stopped her and shook his head lightly. “Wei Wei, don’t.”

“I get angrier the more I look at him. Isn’t it just a Xu Nuo? Does he need to be like this?” Ye Wei said angrily. “Don’t protect him. If sister-in-law was here, she would have already given him three tight slaps.”

Bai Ye had heard about the fierce mommy of the young kid all the time. “Don’t hurt him. I believe in Ning Ning. Just give him a little time to heal.”

“Wei Wei, don’t make it seem easy. What if your little idiot had died?” Chu Li said indifferently. He went over and held the young kid. “Little cutie, don’t mind your aunt.”

‘If Marshmallow dies?’

Ye Wei grabbed Chu Li’s collar and laughed wildly. “Don’t call him a little idiot, or I will beat you up and turn you into a big idiot.”

Chu Li, “…”

Bai Ye, “…”

She said with an enchanting smile, “Great. It’ll be good if he’s dead. I’ll find a better guy when he’s dead.”

“Come on, cut the crap. By the way, Jason, Black J is coming tomorrow,” Chu Li said calmly. “Well, there’s another thing. The thing that happened on Death Island has alerted the police. Three warships had gone out to sea this morning.”

“Police?” Ye Wei frowned deeply and sneered. “What a joke. The police are more than willing to avoid being involved with the affairs between the terrorists and the Italian Mafia. Why would they want to intervene this time?”

“I don’t know about the specific situation. The Interpol special agent force has been activated as well,” Chu Li said in a deep voice and looked fierce. “Sir said that three important figures who were once very popular were detained on the island. They are most probably going there for them.”

“Louis is really talented.” Ye Wei sneered. Indeed, the people who were detained on the island must have some special identities. It was unexpected that people from both the underworld and the business world have been detained.

“But the fight went on for such a long time and we almost leveled the island. Only the area at the cliff was considered safe. If there were still people alive then, they should have gone with us, or else, they would probably have died.” Bai Ye analyzed calmly. Ye Wei agreed with him while Chu Li went into a deep thought silently.

His hand gently patted the shoulder of the young kid. ‘Perhaps.’

He looked at the child that he had always loved. Chu Li had mixed feelings. “Ning Ning, what should we do?”

His tone was filled with unspeakable pain.

“What kind of deep feelings would two little kids develop? Why is he so desperate?” Ye Wei was reminded of Mo Jue. The two of them had irreconcilable differences and what happened to Xu Nuo and Ning Ning had made her feel uneasy and inevitably restless.

“You’ll know when you’re in love.” Chu Li rubbed Ning Ning’s cheek.

Bai Ye waved his hands nonchalantly. “I would rather not be involved with this kind of thing all my life,” he said indifferently.

“People who say that would always contradict themselves in the end,” Chu Li said. He looked at Ye Wei. “Wei Wei, look after Mo Jue and don’t let him run around.”

People like them were very cautious in whatever they did. Chu Li obviously didn’t trust Mo Jue. Ye Wei understood him and nodded. “Don’t worry. I know what I’m doing. Eleven is watching over him.”

Chu Li agreed and changed the topic. “How did you hook up with him?”

“How mean. He’s the one who hooked up with me, okay?” Ye Wei sneered. She didn’t want to talk about Mo Jue further. Hence, she changed the topic again. “Is it okay for both Iron and Jason to come over? The current situation in Italy is tense. There mustn’t be any more accidents.”

“That’s all right. You can count on me,” Chu Li said calmly.

Ye Wei looked at Ning Ning, worried. “Haven’t you heard from my third brother and sister-in-law?”

Chu Li quieted down for a moment. “There was a fierce battle on the island. I only knew that they had escaped in a plane. As to their exact location, we’ll have to leave it to the Dragon Gate. I don’t have any information.”

“I’m worried about Ning Ning. I’m afraid that only third sister-in-law has a way,” Ye Wei said. She stomped her foot. “Where is Louis?”

“I guess he went back to Italy? The battle between the Dragon Gate and Italy has started,” Chu Li said. Although it was the terrorists who declared war against Italy this time, how could Louis not understand that it was actually the Dragon Gate?

If they were ranked by strength, the terrorist organization would be in the first place, the mafia in the second place, and Dragon Gate in the third place. If Louis was smart enough, he’d know what to do and not seek troubles for himself stupidly.

“For North America?” Ye Wei frowned deeply. “Louis is really ambitious. But why did he spend so much time and effort just for North America? He was obviously looking for my third brother and sister-in-law.”

“Someone took advantage of Louis to disrupt Third Young Master Ye. Fourth Young Master Tang had some troubles recently too while Young Master Lin was involved in a lawsuit. His goal was clear and that was to take over North America,” Chu Li said. At present, in Dragon Gate, Young Master Lin was arrested, Fourth Young Master Tang was trapped, whereas Third Young Master Ye’s life and death were unknown. Louis did not have the means to do that, which meant that someone else had done it.

Ye Wei squinted dangerously. “Speaking of which, where is Mo Ye? Why is there no movement at all?”

Chu Li smiled. “That’s why you’d better watch over your little idiot.”

Ye Wei got up, turned, and left abruptly. Looking at the door which was slammed, Bai Ye said calmly, “What are you doing?”

“Warning her not to act impetuously.”

“You can’t even do it, yet you have the face to say,” Bai Ye said. “Speaking of which, I felt the pulse of Mo Jue last night. It’s true that everything is normal. If he isn’t pretending, then he should be a split personality. If he is pretending, I can only say that I have misjudged him.”

“Do you believe him?”

“Um.” Bai Ye nodded and said, “His eyes were very clear.”

Chu Li was silent and touched his chin. “According to Wei Wei’s temper… I sympathize with him.”

Bai Ye hugged the young kid, “When will there be news from Death Island?”

“Tomorrow.”

Bai Ye looked at the young kid. “I really hope that the child is not dead. Otherwise, our Ning Ning would probably be ruined. Let’s not talk about it anymore. I’ll bring him to the arena to expand his horizons.”

“He can’t even see now. What are you taking him there for?”

“It’s better for him to go out for a walk,” Bai Ye said. “Baby Ning Ning, I’ll take you to the Colosseum and play.”

He chuckled and carried the young kid out.

“I hope so.” Chu Li sighed faintly. As soon as he left, his subordinates came to report. “Brother Chu, I’ve found information on Xu Nuo.”

Chu Li grabbed the information in his hand. After a while, his eyes widened in shock. “Are you sure?”

“Absolutely.”

“My god…” Chu Li exclaimed.

Ye Wei went back to the room. Mo Jue was sitting on the sofa, feeling unhappy. Eleven, who was hiding in the dark, left after she saw her come back. When Ye Wei went in, Mo Jue’s purple eyes brightened and became dull again quickly.

He didn’t rush up to her like usual and his facial expression made him look as if he was a puppy that was abandoned by its owner. He looked particularly aggrieved and pitiful.

Ye Wei was not happy at first, but when she saw Mo Jue, she lost her impatience. Her gaze became soft. What Chu Li said was absolutely a lie. Mo Jue…

He wouldn’t!

She was very sure. She knew exactly what Mo Jue was like. Even if he was pretending, he couldn’t act to that extent. Wolves know wolves the best. They were the same kind of people. Principles and pride were more important than anything.

With the pride of Mo Jue, he wouldn’t be able to do that.

“Marshmallow, what’s the matter? Not happy to see your wife?” Ye Wei smiled enchantingly and patted his face.

Mo Jue’s purple eyes looked at her, feeling wronged. He bit his lips and looked down again without saying anything.

‘Oh, right. How dare you throw your temper at me. Have you eaten the leopard’s guts?’ Ye Wei sneered coquettishly. As soon as she wanted to show her dominance, Marshmallow asked softly, “Wifey, do you not want me anymore?”

Ye Wei was stunned. “What are you saying?”

“Why didn’t you sleep with me last night and even asked someone to watch over me?” Mo Jue continued to complain.

Ye Wei was startled. ‘How did he find out about Eleven?’

“Ning Ning’s eyes were destroyed. I’m just really upset. Don’t be too concerned,” Ye Wei said with a smile and patted his head gently. She was gentle like water.

Mo Jue cried twice and rushed over to hug Ye Wei. He kissed her aggressively. “I knew that wifey would not abandon Marshmallow. Wifey, Marshmallow loves you. Loves you very much.”

Ye Wei’s mouth opened and her slightly drooping eyes were cryptic. Then, she raised her enchanting eyes again. “Marshmallow, come, tell your wife. Where did your brother go?”
