Chapter 510: Pretty Woman Found

Translator: Tim Editor: GlobeGlotter

Ten billion wouldn't be spent quickly, even in Flowing Snake. This Northern Sand was truly wealthy. If he killed them, wouldn't all that wealth be his?

Ye Mo was excited at the thought, but then considered, "That doesn't seem very possible." There were many Northern Sand bases—how could he annihilate them all?

Killing thirty people today was justifiable; Northern Sand had offended him first. But truly angering them, with his current power, would leave his people unprotected.

This dejected Ye Mo. A mighty cultivator, yet unable to protect those by his side. He needed to cultivate faster and empower his men.

Regardless, he needed to know the crystal's purpose. He couldn't ask with everyone present, so he'd return at night to ask privately. Besides, the ten billion interested him; he wouldn't pass that up.

He asked, "Mr. Liang, if that crystal is only fist-sized, wouldn't Yuan Zhirong have hidden it, and you might have missed it?"

Liang Shiguo immediately shook his head. "Impossible; we have a detector with a 1000-meter range, and it found nothing at the Yuan family."

No wonder Northern Sand hadn't attacked immediately, despite their suspicions. They probably even investigated in Flowing Snake, but found nothing.

Storage rings were invaluable, weren't they? No high-tech could detect their contents. Ye Mo appeared intensely pensive, as if making a difficult decision.

"Mr. Ye, we don't know why Yuan Zhirong blew up his mansion, but the leaked secret meeting footage likely involves you. You were at his house; that's why we're asking," Liang Shiguo said, excited by Ye Mo's expression.

Ye Mo smiled. "I moved the bomb and made the footage. I don't know what the crystal is, but I'll find it. Ten billion alone makes it worthwhile."

Liang Shiguo frowned, unsure of Ye Mo's intentions, assuming he didn't know the crystal's location.

"Then we won't disturb you further. We regret this misunderstanding. If you find the crystal, please contact us immediately. Here's my card." Liang Shiguo handed Ye Mo a golden card.

Ye Mo extended his hand. "I'm sorry, Mr. Liang. I didn't realize it was so minor. Had I known, I wouldn't have offended Northern Sand. I hope you understand my desperation. I want to help you find the crystal quickly."

"Mr. Ye, we've met through conflict. If you find the crystal, even bigger conflicts won't matter," Liang Shiguo said, smiling.

Ye Mo sneered. He knew Liang Shiguo implied this wasn't over. Finding the crystal might improve things; otherwise, Northern Sand's fury would follow. He'd shaken hands to mark Liang Shiguo with his spirit sense; he wouldn't let Northern Sand off easily.

"Naturally, I'll search wholeheartedly. How much time do you give me?" Ye Mo hadn't fully started a war with Northern Sand; he needed time to strengthen himself.

Liang Shiguo was stunned. He'd assumed Ye Mo was merely agreeing but wouldn't act, yet Ye Mo seemed genuinely willing to help. "If Mr. Ye finds it within a year, you'll easily get the ten billion, plus other surprises."

Unexpectedly, after Liang Shiguo, Ye Mo shook hands with Peter and Chen Zhui, his expression hospitable and regretful, as if the misunderstanding was entirely his fault.

Liang Shiguo, Peter, and Chen Zhui were all surprised by Ye Mo's drastic change. They didn't consider him timid; only the ten billion could explain it.

Ye Mo left Otherworldly Entertainment but not Luo Cang; he had business that night. He'd marked them all.

Ensuring he wasn't followed, Ye Mo entered a busy district, searching for a bar, when he heard a young girl call, "Brother Mo!"

"Yang Yi?" He remembered her—from the train to Luo Cang. She wasn't pretty, but kind. She'd offered him money after his wallet was stolen, which he'd refused.

"Brother Mo! It's been so long! You never contacted me after you and Er Hu left," Yang Yi said happily.

Ye Mo looked awkward; he'd forgotten her.

"Xiao Yi, who is he?" a man asked, looking at Ye Mo.

"This is Brother Mo Ying. He's a good doctor. Brother Mo, this is my boyfriend, Liu Shang. How's your clinic going?" Yang Yi spoke quickly.

"Hello, I'm Liu Shang." Yang Yi's boyfriend shook hands.

Ye Mo said, "Sorry, Yang Yi, I didn't tell you my real name. I'm Ye Mo, and I've stopped practicing. Er Hu's doing well. Come visit when you can."

Before Yang Yi replied, a group arrived.

"Yang Yi, Liu Shang, let's go!" a short girl called. Her face was exquisite.

"Okay, we're coming!" Yang Yi turned to Ye Mo. "Sorry, we're graduating and celebrating. Join us?"

"I don't think—" Ye Mo wanted to meet Liang Shiguo that night.

Yang Yi whispered, "The richest person in my class is paying at Yun Shang Pearl. It's a waste not to go."

Ye Mo knew the restaurant—five-star. Right now, he wouldn't go to an eight-star restaurant.

Before he could refuse, Yang Yi said, "You'll see an extremely beautiful girl. Gu Mingnan found her."

Ye Mo smiled.

"He really did! He found her unconscious and injured in the mountains. He saved her, and she's staying at his house. He's bringing her tonight," Yang Yi explained.
