Chapter 399, I can protect you too (third watch)

Li Mochan furrowed his brow and said in a low voice, "They avoided Wei Nan."

Those men in black were only responsible for intercepting Wei Nan, even if Wei Nan killed them, they only defended and did not fight back.

In contrast to their treatment of Wei Dong, those men in black weren’t so "merciful".

Ye Jiuliang looked up at him, surprise flickering in her eyes, "You’ve noticed that too?"

She thought she was being too sensitive and overthinking it, but it seemed he felt the same way.

So many people, yet they specifically let Wei Nan go, which was indeed strange.

Li Mochan pressed his lips together and hummed, Kodak and the others were obviously just a ruse, a ploy to lure him here. Besides wanting to eliminate him, another purpose was probably aimed at Wei Nan.

"Do you think Wei Dong and the others will be able to find us?" Ye Jiuliang’s mind quickly jumped to the next topic as she looked around. The area was desolate, without even a trace of animals.

Li Mochan wrapped her slightly cold hand, warming her palm, "Probably by tomorrow."

Searching the mountain would take time, the earliest would be tomorrow.

Ye Jiuliang turned to face him, her small head nuzzling against his chest, "Li Mochan, if you break your word again, I will really get angry."

Even though she knew he was afraid she’d get hurt, she didn’t want him to push her away.

Li Mochan looked down, his voice low and magnetic, "My fault."

"Perfunctory," Ye Jiuliang complained muffled into his chest.

"Li Mochan, I’d rather get hurt with you than have you push me away. You can protect me, and I can protect you."

Her voice was soft and whiny, like she was cooing, melting Li Mochan’s usually cold heart.

He raised a hand to touch her head, his thin lips pressing gently against her forehead, his voice tender, "Alright."

Ye Jiuliang curved her lips into a small smile, her uninjured hand encircling his waist, "I’m sleepy."

Li Mochan pulled up her jacket over her shoulder, covering his treasured girl snugly.

His deep voice, tender solely for her, said, "Rest well, we will go home tomorrow."

Ye Jiuliang nodded; the past few days of rushing about coupled with her current injury, it didn’t take long for her to fall into a deep sleep.

Li Mochan watched the person in his embrace and slowly lowered his head, nuzzling the tip of her nose.

His loving gaze rested on her peaceful sleeping face, his thin lips unwittingly curling into a faint smile.

His little wolf pup!

"What did you say, Li Mochan jumped down from the mountain?" Mo Yu looked at Aqiao, surprise in her eyes soon replaced by astonishment.

"And Ye Jiuliang fell down with him, is this news true or false?"

"The people below have sent the message, it’s absolutely true, and Ye Jiuliang was hit by a secret arrow. Even if she didn’t die from the fall, she definitely can’t survive," Aqiao said calmly.

Hearing this, Mo Yu stood up, her face breaking into an excited smile.

"It’s best if Ye Jiuliang is dead, that spares us from endless trouble in the future."

"But..." Aqiao looked at her, hesitating to speak.

Mo Yu said, "But what? Speak."

Aqiao voiced her concern with some worry, "Madam, the old master Mo only ordered us to get rid of Li Mochan and did not tell us to lay hands on Ye Jiuliang. Moreover, old master Mo still has uses for Ye Jiuliang. If we modify his orders privately and the old master finds out, won’t it displease him?"

The old master’s intentions were not something they could presume to know; truly angering him could cost them their lives.

Now the madam had intercepted the message privately and modified the old master’s orders. If the old master learned of it, he would surely be enraged.

Upon hearing this, Mo Yu’s smile gradually froze on her face.

She had been so focused on getting rid of Ye Jiuliang that she had not considered the consequences. Now she realized she might truly have acted too rashly.
