Arc 3
The Vicious Supporting Female Only Loves Money (20)
Ye Wei’s abduction was not a trivial matter.
Right now, Mo Shizong was already aware of the people that were back for revenge.
It was fortunate for him that they abducted the wrong person and Mo Yu was fine. Else, he couldn’t imagine what he would do if Mo Yu became the second Mo Yuan, abused so bad that there was no intact skin on his body.
Ye Wei was innocent, but people were inherently selfish. It’s better for others to suffer than his own son. Moreover, Yang Lingxi had raised Mo Yu for so many years. If it was Mo Yu who was kidnapped, how could she withstand it?
He didn’t wish they got hurt because of him anymore.
In the worst-case scenario…
If something really happened to Ye Wei, he would give consideration to her family and make up for them with a sum of money, which could be regarded as a kind of compensation.
They had contacted the kidnappers, and they brazenly wanted Mo Yu to hand himself in. Not only that, they demanded 50 million yuan. Otherwise, they would kill Ye Wei.
That was simply an impossible request for him.
He didn’t mind the money, but Mo Shizong would never allow his son to endanger his life for an irrelevant woman. He wouldn’t risk his son!
Yet, what he didn’t expect was that as soon as he refused, the secretary came and informed him, “Shaoye was taken away by Mo-zong!”
The people he sent to protect Mo Yu couldn’t find him. Later, they found out that Mo Yu had been taken away by Mo Yuan’s people.
“Mo Yuan?” Mo Shizong was astounded. He snapped, “Why did he take Mo Yu?! Why is he still fooling around at this juncture! Where did he take him?!”
The Secretary was yelled at by him and bowed his head low. He didn’t know where Mo Yuan took Mo Yu ah.
Mo Shizong called Mo Yuan and directly asked, “Where are you?! Come back! Come back right away!”
By now, Mo Yuan had already mobilized enough manpower, and in addition, cooperated with the police.
He flatly replied, “We have something urgent to do, so we won’t come back.”
“What are you playing at? Haven’t you eaten enough lessons from the past?! Don’t you know how dangerous it is outside, or do you not want your other leg!”
The most taboo topic with Mo Yuan was his legs. Now Mo Shizong brought it up, he put his hands on his knees and clenched his fists. His expression became more somber, “Are you worried about my legs, or the good son you just found?”
Mo Yu, who was mentioned, glanced at Mo Yuan.
Mo Shizong rubbed his forehead from the headache, “You are all my sons. Of course, I am worried for both of you, but this time they want to catch Mo Yu. Mo Yu is in danger. Send him back. He is not suitable to run around outside at this time.”
Mo Yuan voiced, “You also know their target is Mo Yu. If Mo Yu doesn’t appear, Ye Wei will die.”
“So? What do you mean by that, what are you going to do? Do you want to exchange your brother for a vain woman who only loves your money?”
This conjecture made Mo Shizong furious. He paced around the room in a rage. He knew Mo Yuan’s stubbornness and madness. As long as he wanted to, he could do anything. What’s more, did Mo Yuan even have the slightest affection for Mo Yu? He may actually have wanted Mo Yu to disappear……
“Mo Yuan, I order you to come back at once! I will do my best to assure Ye Wei’s safety. Even if something happens to her, I will ensure that her family will be compensated and won’t have to worry about their living expenses! You can’t endanger Mo Yu for her! If Mo Yu appears in front of those people, he will certainly die!”
Mo Yuan looked out of the window, his voice as calm as ever. “Their original target is Mo Yu. There is no reason to let a woman suffer this injustice for him. Besides, I have experienced these years ago. So, don’t worry, I can assure you it’s not so terrible.”
With that, he hung up.
“Mo Yuan, Mo Yuan!” The call was cut off. Mo Shizong called several more times. Unfortunately, Mo Yuan had turned off his phone and he couldn’t get through. He was so furious that he almost smashed his phone. He then switched to contact Mo Yu.
“Mo Yu, come back to me immediately! Even if it’s not for me, think about your mother. If something happens to you, how do you think will your mother feels?”
Mo Yu had already understood the ins and outs of the matter. He discovered that Ye Wei was kidnapped in his stead. He couldn’t sit idly by because of that. “Mo Yuan is right. Ye Wei is innocent. If something happens to her because of me, I will never forgive myself for the rest of my life.”
He was afraid of death. He was also worried his mother would be sad. But, in the same way, he didn’t want Ye Wei to get hurt because of him. He already wronged her many times. If Ye Wei really died because of him… No. He couldn’t let that happen.
With that, he also hung up the phone.
Mo Shizong nearly fainted from the anger.
“These two rascals!”
“Go, bring Mo Yuan and Mo Yu back! Neither of them is allowed to go there!”
————·————·————
These kidnappers had been lurking in City C for a long time. They initially planned to attack either Mo Yuan or Mo Shizong first. However, These father and son pairs who cared for nothing but their lives were always protected by bodyguards. They seemed to have learned from past events. They never got a chance… until Mo Yu appeared. The opportunity finally fell on their laps.
They discovered that Mo Shizong had a stray illegitimate son outside. He even preferred and valued his illegitimate son far more than Mo Yuan.
Hence, Mo Yu became their new target.
Dealing with Mo Yu was way much easier than dealing with Mo Yuan or Mo Shizong. Although Mo Shizong had sent someone to protect Mo Yu, his bodyguards protected him in secret, not as blatant as Mo Yuan’s.
Mo Yu’s residence was an ordinary civilian residence. Unlike Mo Shizong and Mo Yuan’s residence which was protected tightly.
They didn’t anticipate they caught the wrong person.
Their leader was pretty indignant.
Mo Yuan was inherently selfish, there was no way he would take a risk for a woman. Mo Yu had a new love, he wouldn’t risk himself for his past love.
Kidnapping Ye Wei was a mistake on their part. They beat the grass and frighten away the snake[1]. They could only attempt to threaten them using Ye Wei. If it didn’t work, just kill her and create another plan.
To their surprise, Mo Yuan actually agreed to bring Mo Yu to them?
“Boss, is Mo Yuan so daring to come here? Is he not afraid of death?”
“Do you think he is so generous? He probably wants to use my hand to kill Mo Yu! He dares to use me, then just see if he really dares to commit to it.”
He slanted his head to scrutinize Ye Wei.
He had heard of Ye Wei. When she was Mo Yu’s girlfriend, Mo Yuan snatched her away, and later, she was abandoned by Mo Yuan. She tried to return to Mo Yu’s side, but Mo Yu already got a new love.
——A beautiful, brainless, and greedy woman.
But her last wish was quite grand.
Of course, he wouldn’t be easily deceived by her. “Don’t think about delaying time. Do you believe Mo Yuan and Mo Yu will really save you? Heh. Your last wish can only remain as a wish.”
Ye Wei became downcast. She probed gingerly, “…Then, if my last wish is not feasible, can I change it?”
The man, “…?”
The man sneered, “I feel, you’re not afraid of me at all, aren’t you?”
Ye Wei almost shrunk into a ball and quickly explained, “I’m afraid! How can I not be afraid of you! Don’t you see I’ve been trembling non-stop! I’m also afraid of death! However, I want to fight for myself before I die! I hope I don’t leave too many regrets. I have been living in this world merely for decades. It’s inevitable that I have regrets in my short life, but……”
“All right.” The man was amused. It was a novel experience to encounter such an interesting woman as Ye Wei. He may as well spend some time toying and playing with her, “Fine, speak. What do you want to change your last wish to? Don’t try to beg me to let you go. You are already in my hands. I don’t do a loss-making business.”
Humans, who didn’t want to live? Ye Wei blabbered so much, wasn’t it just to fight for her chance to live? The so-called last wish was just to divert his attention.
Still, he didn’t mind playing a bit with her.
Ye Wei expressed, “I understand. I don’t expect you to let me go.”
The man shrugged and remained calm while his hands played with the gun.
Ye Wei sighed, her tone regretful, “I am aware that it’s impossible for me to let Mo Yuan and Mo Yu suffer for me and live a fate worse than death in my life.”
The man, “Mn, then?”
Ye Wei, “Then I can only ask for the next best thing. I want to die beautiful, can I?”
The man, “???”
The man’s expression changed. He raised his eyebrows. He suspected that he had auditory hallucinations?
To die beautiful, what kind of last wish was this?
Even the two men guarding the door didn’t hold back and stretched their necks to eavesdrop. It appeared that Ye Wei was scared crazy by them.
The man asked, “To die beautiful? Is this really your new last wish?”
Ye Wei pecked fast. She looked at him expectantly, “Yes, I want to die beautiful.”
The man was astonished. He soon scowled, “What kind of shit is this last wish, are you fooling around?”
“No, no, no! I didn’t mean to fool you at all! You misunderstood me.” Ye Wei quickly clarified, “I just thought, I will die soon, right? I have no way to make Mo Yu and Mo Yuan suffer for me, but I still can rely on my beautiful appearance to become a peerless beauty in death that they can never get!”
……A peerless beauty in death that they can never get???
“Pfft – cough, cough, cough!” The man choked on his saliva and coughed to the point of tears.
He gaped at Ye Wei in amazement.
Even there was an earth-shattering cough outside the door. Some people peeked in and suggested, “Boss, why don’t you fulfill her?”
“Scram!” The man called as the Boss yelled back violently. The people outside shrank their necks in an instant. Ye Wei also shrank her neck and blinked at him in fear.
The Boss smiled, but his smile was menacing on his ferocious face. “Your last wish is very good. But, I am curious, in what way did Mo Yuan and Mo Yu offend you so you don’t want to let them go even when you die?”
He honestly knew the answer. He had investigated and learned the root cause was because Ye Wei realized Mo Yuan only used her from the start and she also noticed that Mo Yu fell in love with another woman.
Ye Wei answered, “One of them betrayed me and the other used me. I am not the Virgin Mary. What I hate most is being cheated and used. I definitely won’t let them go even if I die. Still, even if I tell you this, you probably won’t understand my feeling.”
The man pondered, “Then, how about I give you a better chance for revenge?”
Ye Wei’s eyes sparkled at him, “What chance? Are you going to let me go?”
“Of course not.” He pointed the gun at Ye Wei’s head. “I’ll give you a chance to kill Mo Yuan and Mo Yu yourself.”
Seeing that Ye Wei was too frightened to speak, he coaxed, “Think about it, it’s better for them to die than you. Are you willing to die just like this? Since you hate them so much that you won’t let them go even if you die, then you should drag them to hell with you!”
Ye Wei stared at him. Her gaze darted at the gun in his hand and she shook her head frantically, “I have a grudge against Mo Yuan and Mo Yu, but I never thought about killing them, just let them suffer a fate worse than death……”
The man scoffed. “Heh. Woman. A real revenge is not as painless as yours. Men are the most ruthless in the heart. There are thousands of beautiful women in this world. What makes you think you are so special that they will remember you for so long?”
Ye Wei stated, “But there aren’t many beautiful women that can compare to me. I am way more beautiful than most celebrities.”
……??? It was the first time he had seen such a confident woman. So confident to the point of becoming conceited and stupid. No wonder she was played around by two men.
The man stood up, took out a knife from his back, and cut the rope binding Ye Wei, “I will help you lead Mo Yu and Mo Yuan here. If they are real men, they will come to save you. Then, you’ll take the opportunity to shoot them. This is the real revenge, okay?”
Ye Wei shivered, “No, I dare not…”
“You dare not? Then I will kill you now.”
“……”
Thus, Ye Wei got promoted from hostage to an accomplice.
She sat aside, holding the wound on her arm with one hand. She was in a sorry state. Her white dress was dirty from the dirt and blood. Her hair was messy and her face was ashen.
“That… Can I wash my face?”
The man raised his brow, “No.”
Ye Wei, “I can’t cheat people without my beauty. What should I do if they dislike me……”
The man, “……”
The man, “It’s all superficial. Do you know what is the most important thing for a woman?”
Ye Wei humbly said, “Please tell me!”
“Brain!” She was kidnapped. How could she be clean and beautiful? Only a blind fool wouldn’t notice something wrong with it!
“Boss is right! But, I already have that!””
“……”
This new colleague was awfully insightful, wasn’t she.

I think, there is something wrong with msz’s brain.
Learn from Yin Nanzhao from “The Memory Lost in Space”. “He never scolds people.” Chen Sha’s words were very honest. Except, the latter half of his sentence was omitted, “He is the kind that beat people directly to the hospital.”!
Talking is overrated, anyway.

The chatting guest on the seat went, so the book slept.
Ye Wei is a once in a century genius.
She effortlessly got promoted from a hostage to an accomplice. Truly an unrivaled once in century genius ∠( ᐛ 」∠)＿
I wish she can give me a crumb of her intelligence
…ignorance is a bliss… Mo Yuan is ignorant of Ye Wei’s ideology so I guess he won’t die from anger?
There is a reason as for why Mo Yuan has his own Extra chapter ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Thank you for uploading the chapter 🙏
