Chapter 639: He’s Too Eerie
Translator: Timothy_ Editor: GlobeGlotter
Ye Mo arrived at the airport and hurried to the front. As passengers disembarked, he grew increasingly uneasy. He didn't see Luo Ying, but he trusted Jingwen wouldn't lie.
No longer in the mood to wait, Ye Mo entered the airport in invisibility mode. His spirit sense scan revealed nothing. Luo Ying hadn't taken the plane.
He didn't call Su Jingwen; if Luo Ying had returned, she would have contacted him. Instead, he immediately went to the nearest large office.
Inside, a fat man was passionately kissing a woman in professional attire. Ye Mo's sudden appearance startled the man, causing him to push the woman away. Seeing Ye Mo, a large, bearded man, the fat man's face turned cold. "Who are you? Who let you in?"
Ye Mo pointed an unloaded gun at the man's head. "Find out why someone named Luo Ying didn't board the flight from Ning Hai to Jing City."
"Don't shoot! I'll look immediately!" The fat man, terrified, visibly urinated.
"Hurry up!" Ye Mo yelled, noticing the man's trembling hands.
"Yes, yes," the man stammered, working quickly despite his nervousness. The woman remained frozen on the couch.
"Luo Ying didn't board the flight. She didn't refund her ticket in Ning Hai either," the fat man reported, surprisingly efficient.
Ye Mo said coldly, "Call Ning Hai and check if she boarded another flight."
"Yes, sir." The fat man's trembling subsided.
A few minutes later, wiping his brow, he said, "Luo Ying bought a last-minute ticket to Beijing. She should be almost in Bei—"
Before he finished, Ye Mo vanished. The fat man rubbed his eyes, wondering if he'd hallucinated. Relieved, he resolved to lock the door next time; a few more such incidents might render him permanently impotent.
Beijing, Qing Hong Airport. A plane from Ning Hai had just landed. Luo Ying stepped out, her beauty immediately captivating everyone's attention.
However, Luo Ying merely pretended to look around. Unsure if they knew her "Ye Mo" was a fake, she feigned nonchalance, searching for him while calling Ye Mo. She didn't know what they would do, but they hadn't attacked yet.
Before she could unlock her phone, a handsome man approached, presenting a business card. "You're the most elegant woman I've ever seen. I hope I'm not disturbing you, but I'm Zhuo Mingxi from Lanye Corporation. I studied in France and manage the research department. What's your name?"
"Oh, please wait a second," Luo Ying replied, ignoring the card to retrieve her phone. Usually, she would ignore such advances, but she couldn't be sure if he was connected to her pursuers. She needed to call Ye Mo.
"Okay." Zhuo Mingxi, delighted by her non-rejection, waited patiently. He'd never seen anyone as stunning. Numerous women pursued him, but compared to this woman, they were insignificant. For her love, he'd even relinquish his managerial position or the succession of the Zhuo family. She was a goddess!
Luo Ying felt uneasy. She was sure they were after her. Why hadn't they acted? She'd already hidden a pistol in her sleeve. She knew her power was limited; even someone like Dai Heng would be a problem.
Then she saw a large, bearded man. It wasn't the beard that caught her attention, but his eyes—since the village incident, she'd never forget those eyes. The familiarity made her want to run to him instantly.
Both Ye Mo and Luo Ying felt a sudden urge to cry. The brief separation felt like an eternity.
The moment Ye Mo saw Luo Ying, he sensed someone watching. He ignored it; seeing Luo Ying was all that mattered. He had to embrace her first.
Simultaneously, a man poised to steal Luo Ying's phone, along with his three accomplices, halted their attack. They'd received an order to abort the plan and retreat. Though the plan was eighty percent complete, they obeyed immediately and left the airport.
Luo Ying, unable to contain herself, ran into Ye Mo's arms.
"Susu, I'm here."
"En, I know."
Zhuo Mingxi watched dumbly as the bearded man embraced the goddess. He felt a lack of oxygen. Such a goddess with this…ugly bearded man? It was like planting a flower in cow dung.
Nearby onlookers stared, hearts aching.
After a while, Zhuo Mingxi concluded the goddess had been tricked. Confronting the bearded man, she'd see the truth. He approached, presenting his card. "I'm Zhuo Mingxi, Head of Research at Lanye Corporation."
Ye Mo, while reluctant, took the card upon hearing the name. "Oh, I've heard of that company." He then pulled Luo Ying's hand. "Let's go, tell me everything later."
Zhuo Mingxi was left standing there, dazed.
Shortly after, in a Beijing mansion, several people sat together. The Ye Mo impersonator removed his mask and made a call.
"The plan's aborted. Yes, I saw him. I'm sure that was Ye Mo—he's with Luo Ying. Yes, I'm certain. They embraced immediately." His tone was serious, yet shaky. Those who knew him knew his hands wouldn't tremble even after killing multiple people. Now, they shook.
"No, I'm sure he was in Jin City an hour ago, yet he appeared at Beijing's Jing Hong Airport. It's impossible, yet it happened. Everything was going perfectly. If he hadn't appeared, we would have succeeded, and I wouldn't have had to call it off. He's too eerie." His hands still trembled. His voice rose. "No, he didn't fly here, I'm certain. Yes, I suspect a small flying device, but I haven't seen it. Okay, what's the next step?"
