Chapter 409 - Louis’ Ending (1/2)

Louis sighed. He realized how careless he had been this time. There were surveillance cameras installed in the corridor and bridal lounge, and the surveillance camera in the bridal lounge being unplugged should have raised his suspicion.

Third Young Master Ye had a few men guard the door while Black Eagle and company guarded the outer perimeter that was not important. Given who Louis was, it was unlikely for him to not make it past the outer perimeter. Little did Louis expect Third Young Master Ye to deliberately pull that off.

While it was not a masterstroke that startled him, he was still overconfident and forgot how meticulous and scheming Third Young Master Ye was and fell into his trap.

Even if he was not discovered outside, he should have discovered that something was amiss in the bridal lounge. How would Third Young Master Ye allow the bride to remain in the bridal lounge alone? If he decided to act, the bridal lounge was the best possible place.

As the realization of defeat dawned upon him, he closed his pitch-dark eyes. He would not escape from this.

Ye Wei’s gaze landed on Louis. She leaned against the railing and seemingly laughed and mocked him. Had he, once the G.o.dfather of the Italian Mafia who called the shots, did not appear in City A, n.o.body would have learned that he was Ye Yukun and he would have still led the Mafia.

What a pity…

The more ambitious one became, the less one gained and the more one lost instead.

She turned her head, lost in thought. The sea breeze blew against her long hair as she thought of Mo Jue. ‘Mo Jue, what about you? Would you, with Louis as a precedent, follow his path to end up losing more than what you gained?’

‘You never have anything to begin with. What else would you be left with if you still lose?’

When she knew that Louis came to City A, she was once again disappointed with Mo Jue, knowing that it was the brothers’ at work. From the beginning to the end, they were the masterminds behind everything.

They were h.e.l.l-bent on removing the First Terrorist Organization and the Dragon Gate. They had never really given up their ambition of world domination. She… hated such a Mo Jue!

If one had too much power in their hearts, they would have little room for other things in their hearts. Even she was a p.a.w.n in their endgame. Even she, however smart, could no longer distinguish between what was real and what was not.

As Ye Wei quietly looked at the surface of the water, she smiled. When she initially recalled the scene on the beach, she was slightly touched. But that feeling was long lost.

She could no longer tell whether that scene on the beach was real or not. As to what he told her and vice versa on the island, both of them were trying to make out how genuine the other person was. He was tired, and so was she.

If he was out to manipulate her, she was not going to spare him. Hence, the vicious cycle was perpetuated.

The only thing she could be certain about Mo Jue was how unguarded he was and how he yielded to her without question those seven days. He was afraid that she would leave him and could not bear to harm her.

Him calling her ‘wifey’ still resonated in her ears, and she knew that that Mo Jue was the real Mo Jue.

But that was not a complete Mo Jue. It was not entirely him but a side of him—the childlike side of Mo Jue who was three to four years old. Given how long one would live, she could not give up her entire life for him just because of those seven days.

Ye Wei was not so fallen to simply remember him for how he was during those seven days.

“Did the Mo brothers tell you anything else?” Ye Wei laughed gorgeously as though the pain that flashed through her did not exist. Ye Wei was still the merciless Ye Wei who lived freely and would not wait for anybody.

“Ye Wei, you are destined to lose if you develop feelings for him,” Louis said with a sinister look. As he hated the Mo brothers more than anybody else, he knew their schemes and viciousness much better than anybody else. Louis looked at Ye Wei and said, “Since I am not going to make it past today, I will tell you, in no uncertain terms, that he is a heartless person. He has his reasons for drawing close to you.”

Ye Wei recalled what happened at the beach and in City A two months ago, and she was shocked. Was that shot intended to drop her guard? Anger soared from the depths of her heart. She tightly bit her lip and suppressed the rage within.

What was the reason they had succeeded so easily that day?

She knew that her third brother went to the ports and Louis was definitely there, so she felt that was no imminent danger. Given that Mo Jue was still wounded, and how Mo Ye acting alone was no guarantee for success…

What if… he was not even injured?

Ye Wei’s thoughts were scrambled. Ye Wei, calm down. Calm down and stop overthinking. She desperately ordered herself to block those memories and a.n.a.lyses.

It was muscle memory for her.

Those from their organization, regardless of the pain and agony they were in, would reasonably a.n.a.lyze the situation until they achieved clarity. She somehow knew that it was probably a scam after all.

Given how Big Boss Mo had indeed really doted on Mo Jue, he would not deliberately back-face him even if Mo Jue lost his gun. If he did that when Mo Jue was still alive, Eleven firing would mean both brothers dying. Given how calm and sensible Big Boss Mo was, he was definitely not capable of doing something like this.

She tried to recall what happened then, but she could not figure out what was wrong. The only possibility was that the Mo Jue in her embrace was still lucid. Had Eleven dared to fire, he would have pre-empted her and fired first…

Coldness descended upon her, and her laughter became more alluring. This, from the start, was a ploy!

“Louis, how did the two of them end up under you?” Ye Wei endured the feeling of stabbing needles as she asked.

“They saved me,” Louis said and broke into a cold laugh. “That, in fact, was a trap the brothers had set up. They arranged for somebody to a.s.sa.s.sinate me but saved me at the same time. They managed to approach me for the want of the Mafia. I have no idea where the h.e.l.l they were from.”

“You are really stupid,” Ye Wei said. Had Chu Li and Black J been in Louis’ position, this definitely would not have happened. They would not allow outsiders to so easily infiltrate the core of their group.

However much they trusted them, they would not allow that to happen.

Louis’ quick capitulation in those few months was largely related to the people whom he did not know.

“I admit that I have lost,” Louis flatly replied. “Kill me, d.a.m.n it!”

Ye Wei looked at him and laughed. She said, “My dearest brother, my nephew will hunt me down if I kill you. As you owe him something, he will personally take care of you.”

Louis closed his eyes in desperation and softly said, “Wei Wei, kill me on account that we are siblings!”

“Even if you are my old man, I am not going to fulfill your wish.” Ye Wei cut to the chase. “I only acknowledge one brother my whole life.”

Ye Wei suddenly heard the sound of speedboats approach. She turned around and suddenly flicked her wrist to reveal three silver needles. With the silver needles in hand, three silver needles accurately nailed Louis in his wrist and chest.

Louis lost all his strength and dropped his gun onto the deck with a ‘thump’. He clutched his wrist and screamed agonizingly.
