Chapter 551: The Confession


Jason, Chu Li, and the rest looked at each other and did not say anything. They saw the footage of Ye Wei speaking to Ning Ning and also at how cold Ye Wei looked and smiled. That Ye Wei was not the Ye Wei they knew.


But they also knew that this was the Ye Wei they knew. Her heart belonged to Mo Jue. She would turn against them and protect Mo Jue since they were not present for the very same reasons.


While her perspective changed, they were not used to Ye Wei’s stand changing. In their hearts, Ye Wei was always family and family would never harm each other. Ye Wei’s actions undoubtedly grieved them.


Their rage, loss of reasoning, and blame were understandable.


Once they heard Eleven, they revisited their thoughts and it was indeed the case. Should they opt to perish with Mo Jue, they were still the ones who would be hurt the most. Whether it was them or the Mafia, either of them would be engulfed by other powers of the underworld. They had never considered that in their rage, and they did not expect it to be Ye Wei’s intention.


They were preoccupied with how Ye Wei took a liking to Mo Jue and what all she did was out of consideration for Mo Jue and n.o.body else. They, in their intimate understanding of her, were undoubtedly furious.


They should not have been this vicious in condemning her.


Even Ning Ning, at that moment, felt that his auntie was too vicious.


After listening to Eleven, they came to their senses.


Trust between people cannot be lost. If that happened, there would be a divide between Ye Wei and them while they all should help Ye Wei regain her memory instead. This was something that they could not help.


Black J remained silent. Once everybody fell silent, he then said, “Let’s believe Wei Wei!”


He believed in Wei Wei despite whatever happened. Since she was now a blank slate, how could she take it if her family all turned their backs to her?


“Okay, we know what to do,” Chu Li slowly said. While Jason and Ross were still angry, they had already calmed down. As people who were not blinded by their emotions, they were reasonable and knew they had misunderstood and stopped brooding over it.


“What do we do now? Are we going to just stop going after the Mafia?” Ross asked.


Chu Li pondered for a moment and turned to Ning Ning. “Ning Ning, what do you say?”


“Let’s do that for now and reorganize ourselves. The Middle East and Eastern Europe are too chaotic and n.o.body knows what will happen. Let’s intimidate them lest they get jumpy and create chaos if we don’t,” Ning Ning solemnly said.


Black J agreed with Ning Ning. They had an extremely strong foothold in the Middle East, and they could not afford to lose it and face dire consequences. Besides, quelling conflict in the Middle East was no easy affair.


There was chaos several years ago, and Chu Li and Jason had to put their lives on the line several times in order to quell the chaos. They could not, especially in these sensitive times, afford additional chaos.


Jason was more concerned about something else. “Eleven, why did Kahn release you?”


“I decide whether I want to stay or leave. Who else can?” Eleven plainly replied. “He did not have any intention to imprison me, so I’m free to do what I want. I’ve yet to figure out what he wants and will rather observe the developing situation.”


“It’s baffling that Kahn is still alive. I saw him dead with my own eyes,” Ross said, baffled.


“I think he wants to exact revenge on us through you,” Chu Li said. “Based on what you said, Kahn has also become a cyborg. He must have definitely experienced something, and for all we know, he hates Old Witch and company.”


“Perhaps.” Black J concurred with Chu Li. He turned to look at Eleven and asked, “What did Kahn say?”


Eleven shook her head. “He didn’t say anything.”


Jason frowned in displeasure and loudly said, “I really didn’t expect him to live. Why did he end up as the mastermind behind the Russian operatives? I really don’t get it. Who exactly saved him those years ago?”


Chu Li and all were teenagers back then who were unclear about many things. They shook their head as they had no idea.


“You’ve got to tell Old Witch about it,” Chu Li said. Everybody looked at each other and concurred with Chu Li. Eleven nodded and said, “I’ll tell her that as well as what happened to Wei Wei.”


“I’ll accompany you,” Jason immediately said.


Eleven shook her head. “That won’t be necessary. I can’t get myself lost, and I’m going back to have her check me out. Since I do not know when I’ll be able to return, please stay back as the situation is extremely unstable.”


Jason frowned, but Eleven looked on insistently. He eventually did not say anything else. Ever since they left the island, n.o.body else except Ye Wei and Eleven had returned. Old Witch had strict orders that they should not trouble her unless they were in extremely dire straits. She could not be bothered with whether they were alive or dead, wealthy or poor.


Eleven thought of going back as Ye Wei and she had nagging troubles, and also because of Kahn. Secondly, she wanted her to check her body and also ask her about what happened in the Su family.


The last reason: Since Mo Ye’s life hung in the balance, she felt extremely terrible and did not know what she would do. Whether she would go to the headquarters of the Mafia and check Mo Ye out or walk away for a while was a question mark.


She might be able to calm herself down.


Ning Ning stroked his chin and asked, “Shall I go with Eleven?”


The original plan was for Ning Ning to visit the island and be trained by Old Witch. Recent events had delayed the plan, and Ning Ning hence remained in Great Britain. Ning Ning would eventually have to go to the island.


“What do you mean?” Chu Li asked.


“Just go. It’s just a matter of time no? Once you’ve had a taste of what Old Witch is capable of, you’ll know how merciful we are.” Ross joked as he pinched Ning Ning’s tender cheeks. “Our darling Ning Ning will lose his tender face in a month.”


Everybody broke into laughter, and the previously solemn atmosphere was lost.


Ning Ning pouted extremely cutely. “Oh, you all who are exaggerating the risks involved.”


He did not buy it. Even if they were real, he would be able to endure the training, however harsh it would be.


“Don’t you not believe us. If one of us says such, you can choose not to believe. If we all say so, you ought to believe it,” Black J said. “Eleven, why don’t you bring him along this time?”


They would slowly solve the remaining problems the terrorist organization faced.


Ning Ning frowned, and Chu Li could see that he was a tad unwilling. “What’s wrong?”


“I guess I’ll wait for my mom to deliver her child before leaving. n.o.body knows how it will turn out,” Ning Ning said worryingly. Third Young Master Ye and Cheng Anya would not mention a word save they were fine every time Ning Ning called them in Riyadh. When he privately contacted Bai Ye, Bai Ye told him that the situation was not optimistic.


She had almost miscarried several times, and Third Young Master Ye had no choice but to make clear that the adult was to be preserved at all costs. He was worried about his daddy and mommy in Riyadh and did not leave. If he could leave, he would have left long ago.


It was afraid that he would not be able to meet them for years once he went to the island. He would regret his whole life if he did not know whether anything happened.


“Ah, that works too. In that case, you can stay around. Since it’s just by a few months, Eleven can communicate that to Old Witch,” Chu Li said as he kneaded the young kid’s head. “Don’t worry. If you are worried, you can always go to Riyadh to visit them.”


“My thoughts exactly.” The young kid smiled.


Everybody discussed some other things before dismissing for the day.


In the garden, Jason grabbed Eleven and asked, “When are you leaving? Tomorrow?”


Eleven acknowledged and thought about it. “Tonight!”


“This soon?” Jason looked at her as though he was about to say something but stopped. Eleven saw that he had a weird look and asked, “What is it?”


“You just want to know whether Mo Ye is alive or dead, no?” Jason eventually asked, but regretted asking. When he saw Eleven’s seeming calm countenance, he knew he should not have asked her that question.


Mo Ye’s fate…


How could she not want to know? It was just that… she was extremely afraid of knowing. While everybody else said that he was dead, she was becoming of that opinion quickly enough and thought he was already dead. She, however, was unable to convince herself as such. This was real.


She was unwilling to believe it.


So… She did not want to think about it.


“It’s okay. Everything is over,” Eleven said through gritted teeth. She looked at Jason’s intent gaze and gently said, “Jason, don’t be too hung up over me. I…”


“Stop!” Jason suddenly interrupted her. He knew what Eleven was about to say but refused to listen to it.


Eleven would not allow him to and she looked at him steely. “Jason, please don’t. There are many things between us that we understand without saying, no?”


Yes, how could they not understand? How could they not understand…


He liked her for many years.


Ever since they hugged when they were thirteen, he took a liking to her. When Ye Wei and she went around the world and never stopped for those seven years like the wind, he missed her very much. Every time he wanted to see her, Ye Wei would manipulate him to it as she would only follow Ye Wei back if Ye Wei ever returned.


Everybody, save Eleven, knew that he liked her.


She was extremely dense.


Jason was extremely confident. In terms of character, ability, looks, and skills, he did not lose out to anybody. He was confident that a tired and weary Eleven would turn back to see him foolishly waiting for her.


He waited and waited patiently.


Because he knew that Eleven would not fall in love with anybody else. Like Ye Wei, she was part of this huge family.


Even if she were not by his side, he was not worried about her. He would hear bits and pieces from her, and he would be foolishly happy for a few months whilst waiting for her to return.


He never expected…


Mo Ye to come between them.


While he was hoping that his sincerity toward Eleven would turn an impossible dream into reality, Eleven had, however, taken a liking to somebody else and still treated him like family.


Jason, wanting to respect her choice, was in agony as his years of waiting ended up in naught. He did not hate on Eleven, but he hated himself for not confessing earlier.


If he had spoken earlier, would she still fall in love with him after all these years?


He, not wanting to pressurize her and box her in, did not say a word and waited with a hope that she would gradually understand. But he waited only to see her fall in love with somebody else.


“Eleven, I like you,” Jason said recklessly and suddenly hugged her. “Why are you like this? I like you so much… I like you so much…” He sounded extremely sad.


Eleven felt her heart wrench and bit her lower lip hard. “I’m very sorry!”


“No, it’s not your fault. It’s not your fault,” Jason said painfully. “It’s my fault. I should have expressed my feelings for you right from the beginning. If I had… If I had, maybe…”


Eleven felt terrible and reached out to hug him by his waist. She knew that he liked her, and Ye Wei once said that Jason liked her. She only realized so in the past few days.


She had no inkling of that in the past.


She had, for a very long time, treated him as a family and never as her love interest. If only Jason had told her earlier and overturned that deep-seated relations.h.i.+p in her mind, she could have understood that he had romantic feelings for her and everything would have changed.


Wouldn’t it be perfect if she could fall in love with him?


As he knew her from cover to cover and treated her so well, wouldn’t she be utterly fortunate if she fell in love with him? But… But she had already given her heart to somebody when she realized that Jason could have been her love interest.


As she was typically stubborn, she did not know how she could shake off the feelings she had.


They were both wrong, in encountering each other too early and missing their first awakening interest in each other. When he took a fancy to her, she was just an innocent girl who knew little and wanted to live a carefree life.


He always treasured her and allowed her to soar. When she took an interest in the opposite s.e.x, she took an interest in somebody else.


They missed each other just like that.


If there was something to be blamed, they had encountered each other too early.


She was not lucky enough to reciprocate Jason’s feelings for her.


“Jason, are we still family? Are we?” Eleven asked as she endured the pain in her heart. Even if they did not become lovers, they could still remain as friends since their friends.h.i.+p would transcend everything in their way.


“Definitely!” Jason hugged her tightly albeit the pain in his heart overflowed into every part of his being.


“Eleven, if we could turn back time, I would not allow you to simply slip away from my hands. I would not,” Jason solemnly replied. If he could live again, he would have told Eleven that he liked her when he realized he took a liking to her and not allowed her to fly free all those years.


He could have followed her, pursued her, and soared with her until she realized his existence and why he did so instead of waiting pa.s.sively for her to return to realize that he was waiting for her.


There was no telepathy to matters of the heart. If one took a fancy to somebody, how would the other person know you took an interest in them if you didn’t tell them?


Eleven felt her eyes slightly tear up.


To turn back time…


‘Jason, is it that easy to turn back time?’
