When An Xunuo returned to Sophie Vasi’s headquarters, she was called to Morales’ room. Morales, behind his office table, looked at An Xunuo sharply. There was n.o.body else except them in the room, and the atmosphere was immeasurably tense.
“Julia, I see that you’ve headed out a bit more frequently?”
“With friends,” An Xunuo plainly replied. “Is there a problem?”
“Friends!” Morales flew into a rage and threw a wad of photographs before her. The photographs were of Ye Ningyuan and her watching movies, eating, and shooting together. Thanks to the angles of the photographs taken, they seemed exceptionally loving together. A few photos of them kissing were very clear.
An Xunuo coldly looked at the photographs on the ground and said, “Well-taken photographs, I should say.”
“What the f***! Julia, you knew Black J since long ago!? What exactly do you want out of me by remaining around me?” Morales asked, enraged as he felt crossed by Julia.
“I knew him since long ago, so what? Falling in love is common fare, no? Morales, you are making a mountain out of a molehill,” An Xunuo flatly replied. “If you cannot trust me, our collaboration ends here. Go find somebody else then.”
An Xunuo turned away and was about to leave. Four stocky men suddenly appeared at the door of the study room and leveled a cold gun at her. “What place do you think you are at? You think you can enter and leave as you wish? Dream on!” Morales coldly laughed.
An Xunuo slowly turned around with a slight mocking look on her face. “What do you have on your mind?”
“Who exactly are you?”
“You don’t have to know.”
“F*** you! You’re Black J’s woman! That explains why he has so much intelligence on me, and how I have to pay thirty percent of the funds to him. Did you leak intelligence to him? Speak!” The man bellowed in anger. An Xunuo coldly smiled as though he was cracking some joke.
“So what if I did? So what if I did not?” An Xunuo did not directly answer him. “Morales, you are all but a wounded beast in its last throes. You do not have the chops to take Black J on, and you will lose terribly. Morales, once this deal goes south, the Sophie Vasi you’ve built up will not survive any other blow and merely crumple. Accept it. You’ve lost.”
“What did you do?” Morales could not help but tremble as he spoke.
An Xunuo coldly laughed. “I didn’t do much. I just gathered some intelligence that you accidentally leaked and sold it to people. Do you still remember a woman called Kim Eun-hye?”
Stunned, Morales had a pale look and seemingly understood something. “So you have a reason to approach me. You’re a spy for that b.i.t.c.h! Very well, then. Thinking of disrupting this deal, aren’t you? Dream on! As long as Black J does not renege on this deal, it will certainly go through. Whether you are his lover or his s.e.x partner, we’ll see how important you are to him.”
An Xunuo smiled even more mockingly and squinted dangerously. “Morales, you are really acting out of desperation. You know much better than most what kind of person Black J is. To men like you all, what difference can a woman make? Achievements, wealth, and power make right, and that is always the case. If we turn the tables around, who would you stand in the line of fire fore? Stop being delusional. You will never threaten Black J by threatening me, so give up! I am not that important to him, and you have hence miscalculated. Moreover, do you think you can really capture me?”
Morales squinted dangerously. “Do you think you know the Sophie Vasi that well? Julia, you will enter, but you will not leave! Take her out!”
Gunshots rang…
Ye Ningyuan was on a call with Ye Hailan, who was about to celebrate her birthday in London. She just returned to City A and was on the telephone with Ye Ningyuan. Both brother and sister were on very good terms with each other. They talked for a moment, and she became very curious about Ye Ningyuan and Xunuo. She repeatedly asked whether he was serious as Ye Hailan knew very well that her elder brother loved only one person.
“Little girls should stay out of this.”
“I’m not a little girl,” Hailan said and chatted with Ye Ningyuan for a moment before hanging up. Ye Ningyuan then drove back to the mansion. White Tiger had to see to something in the north of Mexico City and would only return the day after tomorrow. Having shopped with Xunuo the whole day, he fell asleep once he hit the bed.
The next day, Ye Ningyuan woke up early. He had already made plans to have breakfast with An Xunuo but did not see her even after an hour into the appointment. Ye Ningyuan called, and n.o.body picked up. He frowned and called thrice. “Xunuo, how long do I have to wait for you?” The call was picked up on the third time.
“Xunuo? Is that Julia’s real name?” Morales’ voice came over from the other side of the phone. Ye Ningyuan felt a chill down his spine but quickly gathered his senses and smiled “Mr. Morales, how come it’s you?”
“Is Mr. Black J still in Mexico City?”
“Yes, I’ve not been in Mexico City and intend to hang around for a few days,” Ye Ningyuan said. As he spoke, his mind whirred and his gaze became even more sunken, yet he became even calmer. “Where’s Julia?”
“Mr. Black J, I am really sorry that we’ve had a traitor in the Sophie Vasi and I’m seeing to it. Can we talk later?”
“I’m asking you where Julia is.”
“Mr. Black J, this is Sophie Vasi’s internal matters that you ought to stay out of, no?” He gently smiled. “There is no ‘Julia’, and I will not spare people who cross me.”
As he finished saying that, he hung up the phone.
Ye Ningyuan immediately got into his car, turned on his computer, and located An Xunuo’s cell phone signal. The computer clearly showed her at the Sophie Vasi. He turned on another locator which was embedded in the ‘Romantic Heart’ necklace he gave An Xunuo. The necklace also contained a miniature listening device that he did not expect would be put to good use. He heard Morales’ conversation with her last night, and he frowned…
“You know much better than most what kind of person Black J is. To men like you all, what difference can a woman make? Achievements, wealth, and power make right, and that is always the case. If we turn the tables around, who would you stand in the line of fire for? Stop being delusional. You will never threaten Black J by threatening me, so give up! I am not that important to him.” An Xunuo’s voice came across the computer and Ye Ningyuan frowned. ‘Not that important? An Xunuo, do you really think so?’
His lips curled into a smile, seemingly mocking something. He no longer had the heart to listen in to her. As he heard on, there were gunshots, explosions, curses, and An Xunuo’s grunt…
“She’s. .h.i.t! Chase her quickly! Have men surround the underground southern side!” Somebody’s harsh and fierce voice came over the computer. Was she hit? Ye Ningyuan felt a chill. Given the number of people and hidden traps in the Sophie Vasi, how could An Xunuo single-handedly escape them all?
