Chapter 290: Found the Clue

Translator: Tim Editor: Fish Creek

After Wang Yanming and her friends left, Ye Mo asked, “Tell me, what news did you hear about the blood coral?”

Shuai She rejoiced. He originally just wanted to curry favor with Ye Mo and hadn’t expected Ye qianbei to be so interested in this news. He quickly said, “Yesterday, an underling of mine was drinking at the Lu Wang bar and overheard a conversation between two people.”

Then, Shuai She looked at Ye Mo, seeing that he was listening intently, he decided to reward the underling who got the news.

In his excitement, Shuai She continued, “One of the two was a woman. She told the other person that the person was too strong; if the blood coral was related to that person, she wouldn’t intervene. She also said she didn’t want to continue the mission. Even if she completed the mission and could be promoted to the Earth department, she didn’t want to do it anymore. She said that person wasn’t someone she could kill. The man said the organization would hunt her if she left mid-mission. Then, the woman fell silent.”

“Earth department?” Ye Mo thought of the girl called Dong Qing whom he’d marked with his spirit sense. She should be from the Earth Fiend, a human-level killer. Was that woman her? But why would she be here? And if it really was Dong Qing, how could a human-level killer from the Earth Fiend leave such a big clue, allowing a small hoodlum to get this news?

Ye Mo frowned. Shuai She saw this and his elated mood sank. He didn’t know why Ye Mo would frown at this news, and just when he was getting nervous, Ye Mo asked, “How did your man get this news?”

So that was it. Shuai She quickly said, “Wang Congui said he overheard the news, but he didn’t say how. I’ll call him over immediately.”

Then, Shuai She, seeing that Ye Mo didn’t react, called outside, “Get Wang Congui here immediately.”

Wang Conggui arrived quickly, within a few minutes. Seeing Shuai She, he quickly smiled and said, “Big boss, you need me for something?”

Shuai She nodded and said, “This is Ye qianbei. He has something to ask you. You need to answer carefully. If you don’t, don’t blame me.”

Seeing his boss’s serious expression, Wang Congui quickly nodded and said, “Yes, Ye qianbei, please ask.”

“You heard about the blood coral from the Lu Wang bar?” Ye Mo asked.

Wang Congui breathed a sigh of relief. He thought it was going to be something else. He quickly said, “Yes, qianbei, I heard it in the Lu Wang bar. I was drinking, and two people were talking in the next room, and I heard everything clearly…”

Ye Mo sneered and knocked on the table. “You’re lying. If you keep lying, don’t blame me for what happens next…”

Shuai She stood up and slapped Wang Congui. “You don’t want to live! How dare you lie to Ye qianbei?”

“Ahhhh…” Wang Congui, slapped to the ground, didn’t dare wipe the blood from his mouth. He didn’t understand how Ye qianbei knew he was lying.

But that wasn’t important anymore. What was important was that if he kept lying, his boss might really kill him. Wang Conggui knelt and begged, “Big boss, have mercy! Everything I said is true. I just didn’t hear it from next door. I know a manager of the bar, and last time during renovations, I installed two extremely hidden cameras in the wall.

I wanted to use them to secretly record things and blackmail people. Yesterday, a man and woman went into the room. I thought something would happen, but they searched the room for a long time and didn’t find anything, then they said those words. Big boss, qianbei, everything I said is true.”

Ye Mo nodded. It seemed that Wang Conggui had some capabilities. However, no matter how good he was, how could Dong Qing not discover the cameras he installed? If Dong Qing only had such skills, then the so-called Earth Fiend killer was only so-so.

“Then what happened?” Ye Mo continued.

Wang Conggui didn’t dare to hide anything and replied, “In the next hour or so, the two didn’t speak, they just drew on paper. They didn’t even touch each other’s hands and then left. I didn’t get anything valuable.”

Ye Mo was speechless. Wang Conggui thought sexual activity was the only valuable thing. If there was no sex, then it was all useless. This guy was unique.

Just when Wang Conggui didn’t know what Ye qianbei was going to do with him, Ye Mo said, “Okay, take me to that bar and show me the recording.”

“Yes, I’ll call my friend immediately and tell him to bring the recording.” Wang Conggui was cunning. He knew Ye qianbei wasn’t talking about pornography and wanted to know the content of the conversation.

…

The Lu Wang bar was probably the biggest bar around. When Ye Mo arrived, he found that the bar had recently been renovated. No wonder Wang Conggui could install cameras inside.

Led by Wang Conggui, Ye Mo went into the room with the cameras. He looked at where the cameras were installed and applauded Wang Conggui’s cunning. Without his spirit sense, the cameras would be very hard to find.

Wang Conggui had placed the cameras on the wallpaper. Not only were they small, but the camera lenses were disguised as black flower seeds. There were so many flower seeds on the wallpaper. Who would compare them one by one? This guy was a natural.

Wang Conggui and his friends both looked shady, but because the recording was from last night, it hadn’t been wiped.

Ye Mo turned on the computer and checked the recording. The woman was indeed Dong Qing. There was another handsome young man, of medium build and short hair. This youth looked worried. The two searched the room. From the camera’s perspective, it could be seen that both were thinking about other things, so the search was careless.

What they said was exactly as Shuai She had said. But then, they didn’t talk. They were drawing something on paper. The image was obscured by Dong Qing’s back, and Ye Mo couldn’t see clearly. Until they left, most of the time, they were drawing on the paper and didn’t talk anymore.

When they packed the paper away, Ye Mo saw a coral that protruded from the side of the sea. He seemed to have seen this coral before, not long ago, when he came from the sea.

He got some leads and stood up, saying to Shuai She, “Good, lucky I had you this time. You did very well. Next time I see Jiao Bianyi, I will tell him. I still have things to do, so I’ll be going first.”

Shuai She’s eyes were full of joy, and he quickly offered more polite words until he sent Ye Mo out. Even after Ye Mo disappeared, he still seemed like he couldn’t believe it.

He’d come to San Ya because he’d been with Jiao Bianyi for so many years and was given a chance. But now, it was different; he’d unintentionally gotten on the good side of Ye qianbei. He would rise in Jiao boss’s eyes.

The more he thought about it, the more excited Shuai She became. He turned to his henchmen and said, “You guys must treat Ye qianbei’s friends well. If any of you dares to be rude to them, then don’t blame me.”

…

It was after 10 p.m. Ye Mo was fast and reached the beach in 20 minutes. He found a large coral there. Ye Mo jumped and landed on the coral.

There was nothing on it and no people, but Ye Mo was happy. He felt the spirit sense marker he’d left on Dong Qing. With his current power, as long as Dong Qing was within 5 km, he would be able to feel it.

And now, Ye Mo felt that spirit sense marker was in the sea and was about to leave his spirit sense range. Ye Mo didn’t dare to wait and took out a wooden board. He stood on it and rapidly made his way towards his spirit sense marker.

In a few minutes, a white yacht appeared before Ye Mo. Ye Mo went over quickly and found an old man in his 50s on guard. The yacht was parked and not moving.

Ye Mo got on the boat and scanned inside. There were only two people inside: Dong Qing and the youth he’d seen.

“Dong Qing, is there really someone that strong? I’ve heard of hidden sect masters, but someone you described is too absurd. This time, the authority even sent Terence. He’s an Earth rank yellow level master. Perhaps, we can gamble once. Plus, last time at the race, how can you be sure it was Ye Mo who did things? Plus, do you really think he can change the bomb under your eyes?” The youth seemed to have thought for a while before saying hesitantly.

Dong Qing’s face was pale, and she shook her head. “Cheng Qing, you haven’t interacted with him. You don’t understand how strong he is. Now that I think about it, I’m actually quite scared. I’m sure he did it right under my eyes, but I wasn’t able to see it.”
