Chapter 383: The Person Enduring the Most Hardship

Peng Yueji immediately explained, “Qian bei, Fred is CGK’s main representative in their negotiations with Fei Yu Corporation. If something happened to Lan Yu, it must be due to him, so I tied him up.”

Ye Mo was almost speechless. “Who said something happened to Lan Yu? I just wanted to figure out where she was; I never said anything happened to her.”

Peng Yueji, greatly worried that he had misunderstood Ye Mo, said, “Ye qian bei, Fred is the most infamous human trafficker in San Francisco. He looks glamorous on the outside—‘sales manager of a big company’—but secretly commits all sorts of crimes. Normal people don’t know about these things, but in the mafia, everyone knows. Because Suo Ren of the Grey Alliance was his supporting pillar, he still roams free.”

Ye Mo suddenly realized something. So this was the friend Suo Ren had mentioned in CGK. Had he really dared do something to Lan Yu?

Thinking about it, Ye Mo’s face sunk, and he asked coldly, “I don’t know if something happened to Lan Yu. Gang leader Peng, ask this person for me. Does he know Lan Yu’s whereabouts? If he really had the guts to do something to Lan Yu, I will kill him right now.”

“Yes, if qian bei doesn’t mind, just call me Yue Ji. Don’t call me gang leader,” Peng Yueji humbly stated.

Ye Mo nodded. “Alright, then you can be the same as Zhu Zi and Shi Kaigen.”

Hearing Ye Mo agree, Peng Yueji resolved not to disappoint him. He turned to Fred and used one threat after another.

Fred, despite his history of human trafficking, couldn’t stand Peng Yueji’s threats and yelling. Soon, he told everything.

Hearing Peng Yueji’s explanation, Ye Mo was speechless. Although Fred was a human trafficker, he didn’t sell everyone; he ensured they were safe first. Lan Yu wasn’t safe, so he didn’t intend to do anything to her.

Instead, Lan Yu found him. When Ning Zhongfei was leaving America, Lan Yu met Fred again. She offered him a card with $100,000 USD, wanting to bribe him.

How could Fred refuse such an offer? He took the card immediately and promised to introduce Lan Yu to a new company, telling her not to worry.

Fred wasn’t planning on harming her; he genuinely intended to introduce her to a small company and finish things.

But at that moment, CGK heard that Fei Yu got the Asian spot and immediately wanted to renegotiate. This was Fred’s job, so he got worried.

If this deal was exposed, he would be in serious trouble. As long as Lan Yu knew her company was chosen, the deal would be exposed. Then, Fred would not only lose his job but also face jail time.

Therefore, Fred locked Lan Yu up. At that moment, Ning Zhongfei called. Fred forced Lan Yu to report that she was safe and took her phone.

At this point, Fred decided to sell Lan Yu after all, so he contacted an organization called Five States and sold her to them.

Having heard all this, Ye Mo’s voice went cold. He looked frostily at Fred. “Where is this Five States?”

After Peng Yueji elicited details about Five States’ meeting place and headquarters, Ye Mo threw a fireball without hesitation.

This was the first time Ye Mo had used a fireball in front of them. Even Shi Kaigen and Tong Zhu were shocked, much less Peng Yueji, who saw Ye Mo for the first time.

At this moment, they realized they were far from knowing Ye Mo. They had only witnessed a part of his power. No one had yet forced him to show his true power.

“I’m going to Five States immediately. Kaigen and Zhu, stay with Yueji first,” Ye Mo said, uncomfortable that a human trafficking organization had taken Lan Yu.

….

Lan Yu hadn’t endured much hardship until now. She was living in a spacious, grand room, with several maids serving her. She was confused. She understood she’d been tricked by Fred.

Although she didn’t understand why she was being served so well after being sold, Lan Yu knew her situation wasn’t good.

She regretted her naivety. Her husband had always handled business trips; only when her daughter grew older did she help. Only after moving to Yu state did she learn how hard business was.

Seeing their company gradually decline under Yuan Bei’s influence, she was desperate.

She came to America seeking cooperation with CGK but was rejected outright. She didn’t expect the person she bribed to be so greedy as to sell her. If not for mentioning she was Fei Yu’s CEO when a black man tried to assault her, she would have been raped.

Lan Yu found something odd. After she spoke, someone kicked the black man away and killed him.

Lan Yu didn’t witness the bloody scene, but she felt gratitude to her rescuer.

That person was a low-level leader there, so her treatment improved. Not only was she moved away from those being sold, but all her belongings were returned.

Moreover, they moved her to this luxurious place. But no matter how good the conditions were, it couldn’t stop her desperate longing to go home.

If she had known Fei Yu would get the spot, why would she have shamelessly stayed to negotiate with CGK?

Lan Yu wondered, ‘Was Fei Yu’s reputation that good nowadays?’

…..

The person enduring the greatest hardship now wasn’t Lan Yu, but the big boss who had just bought the human trafficking organization.

Although Five States was a human trafficking organization, they didn’t operate solely in that field. The big boss, a one-armed Chinese man named Sha 1, didn’t care about Fei Yu getting the only spot in the world.

But Fei Yu’s CEO had another identity: mother-in-law of the slaughter god, Ye Mo.

Sha 1 knew how strong Ren Sha was. He could kill anyone at will. Sha 1 had seen many powerful ancient martial artists challenge Ren Sha, only to die. He also knew Ren Sha’s cultivation method: using others’ lives to increase his own power.

When Ren Sha tried to kill Ye Mo, he sent killers everywhere. This angered Ye Mo, who came to Hong Kong from Chun An incredibly fast. Even now, Sha 1 didn’t know how Ye Mo got to Hong Kong.

This tough guy, Ren Sha, was not only killed by Ye Mo, but the entire Earth Fiend organization, except for Sha 1 who escaped with one arm, was massacred. Even Ren Sha’s base seemed to have been searched by Ye Mo.

Afterwards, Sha 1 secretly investigated in Hong Kong; Ren Sha was undeniably dead. Compared to Ren Sha, Nan Qing and Metal River were nothing. They had all offended Ye Mo, and all disappeared or declined.

If there was one person Sha 1 didn’t dare offend, it was Ye Mo.

He didn’t think Ye Mo wouldn’t find him. He was sure that if Ye Mo wanted to kill him, he would die even if he hid at the earth's edge.

Sha 1 fled to the USA, wanting to use the human trafficking business to amass wealth and start another hitman organization. But this business barely gained notoriety, and he offended someone like Ye Mo. This worried Sha 1 greatly.

When he learned his captive was Lan Yu, he decided to treat her well and send someone for Fred.

But his messengers reported Fred was gone. This worried Sha 1 even more. If he couldn’t find a solution, he would be finished. Once Ye Mo arrived, he’d be done for.
