Chapter 444: Asking Xiao Lei Out

“Formation disk?” Ye Mo took it and almost screamed. He was actually seeing a formation disk on Earth. It was a spirit-gathering formation disk. Were there really cultivators here? Was it someone like him, who had transmigrated from the cultivation realm? Or was it someone from the hidden sects that could make these formation disks?

There was starting energy in the disk, but he didn’t know if it was spirit stones because it was almost depleted. It was a pity; the starting energy was almost gone. When it was all gone, it would be useless without spirit stones.

Making a formation disk like that was simple, but the main thing was the driving energy, whether essential chi or spirit stones. This was very important to Ye Mo. Comparatively, this formation disk was worthless because Ye Mo could make it himself if he had the materials. Moreover, he didn’t need a formation disk to make formations.

It seemed that the cultivators here were as simple as he had thought.

Lu Yingying looked worriedly at Ye Mo, lost in thought, staring at the disk. She didn’t know if he would attack her because of it.

Seeing Lu Yingying’s worried expression, Ye Mo smiled faintly. “This disk is useless to me; you can keep it.”

Lu Yingying’s expression changed; her heart sank. Her grandpa’s words hadn’t come true. Although she had waited at He Feng for years and had finally found someone who knew about the Blue Flower Blue Leaf Grass, he wasn’t interested in her price.

Seeing her disappointed look, Ye Mo smiled and said, “Don’t worry about your revenge. I came to He Feng this time to get revenge on the Yuan Family. I won’t hide it from you: I’m responsible for Luo Yue in Flowing Snake. The beauty pill incident is due to the Yuan family. Do you think I will let them live? So, in at most a week, you will see them disappear from He Feng.”

“Are you the president of Luo Yue? Oh my god. The beauty pill and healthy pill are absurd, and you made them? When I saw that report on the negative effects, I knew it was someone trying to harm Luo Yue. It was so indeed.” Lu Yingying stood up in joy.

She was joyful because Ye Mo had promised to annihilate the Yuan Family, but she was also joyful at meeting the creator of Luo Yue. He was a legendary figure.

“So, you don’t need to worry. When the Yuan Family is annihilated, you can also tell reporters about what they did to your family,” Ye Mo said.

Lu Yingying bowed to Ye Mo again. “Thank you. If it weren’t for you, I may never get revenge.”

Ye Mo nodded. “That disk will be useless for a while, so don’t use it to cultivate Blue Flower Blue Leaf Grass; the ones you cultivated didn’t even have a single flower. Its medicinal value is very low.”

…

After Ye Mo left Lu Yingying’s place, he decided to find a famous reporter to expose the Yuan Family and then look for Shi Xiu. He was going to give his material to Shi Xiu and have him find Li Chunsheng. This way, when Li Chunsheng stabilized his position in He Feng, he would remember Shi Xiu’s work. This was different from helping Shi Xiu because of him.

Ye Mo had low exposure to the media, and so he didn’t know any popular reporters. He thought about asking his friends in Beijing for help; Zhang Jue or Zhuo Aiguo would both do.

Thinking about Zhuo Aiguo, Ye Mo suddenly thought of Xiao Lei. With these thoughts, Ye Mo took out Xiao Lei’s business card. Since he knew Xiao Lei and she was a famous reporter in Beijing, he might as well call her.

When Ye Mo called Xiao Lei’s number, he realized it was already 3 a.m. But since he had already called, he wasn’t going to hang up.

Xiao Lei was still half awake when the phone rang. She couldn’t imagine who would be calling her at that moment. Did that person have a problem?

Xiao Lei had been working all day and hadn’t gotten enough rest, so, of course, anyone would be annoyed at getting a call in her situation.

Although she wanted to hang up, her professional behavior made her pick up.

“Who is this?” Xiao Lei’s tone wasn’t nice; after all, it was very late.

Ye Mo knew Xiao Lei’s character. If there were bombshell news, she would give that top priority, so he didn’t mind her tone.

“I have big news. He Feng’s mayor laundered tens of millions and it resulted in garbage construction that destroyed a few villages. A company is planning to spread a virus to promote its product. Journalist Xiao, are you interested in this news?” Ye Mo smiled.

“What?” Xiao Lei was shocked by Ye Mo’s words. She had been a journalist for so many years, but this kind of news—and not just one—was rare.

“Who are you? How do I know you’re not lying?” Xiao Lei retained her composure, and her tone turned cold.

Ye Mo smiled. “We know each other; I wouldn’t lie to you.”

“Who are you?” Xiao Lei thought Ye Mo’s voice was familiar. Who was it?

“I’m Ye Mo, I—” Before Ye Mo could say where he was, the phone hung up.

Xiao Lei was struck. The person who had called her was Ye Mo, the man she one-sidedly loved and who had a wife. Why did he call her in the middle of the night? Did he use the news as an excuse? She couldn’t believe so many things were happening at the same time.

Xiao Lei’s hand started to shake. Ye Mo was asking her out in the middle of the night. She had been taken by surprise.

When she finally reacted, she found her phone on the ground. Before she could think twice, she dialed back, but she couldn’t reach him. She didn’t know Ye Mo’s phone had a special contract; if he didn’t set the number, other people couldn’t call him.

“Out of battery?” Ye Mo said to himself and called again.

Xiao Lei was worried and sweating when Ye Mo called back. She picked up as fast as she could and said, “Ye Mo, where are you?”

“I’m at the Wu He Bar in He Feng. I really need your help; this news is real. I need you to spread it as fast as you can,” Ye Mo said calmly, trying not to get her to misunderstand him.

“Is it really true?” Xiao Lei calmed down. She realized she was thinking too much. Ye Mo seemed to love Ning Qingxue a lot; how could he be asking her out on a date in the middle of the night? Even if he did, he didn’t need to be like that.

Xiao Lei patted her head and calmed down. She thought about it; then she used a slower tone and said, “Ye Mo, you can’t say things like that randomly. If you don’t have any evidence, there will be legal consequences. Don’t leave no matter what. If you need my help, wait until I come. Before I arrive, don’t do anything. Even if you have evidence, it’s about a mayor; you can’t spread it out easily like that.”

“Okay. I’ll wait for you at the bar in the morning.” Ye Mo understood her worries. She must have thought he didn’t have evidence. But Ye Mo didn’t mind; if she didn’t dare to do it, he would ask Li Qiuyang for help. This was a small thing for him. Even if he didn’t have evidence, Ye Mo would still do it.
