Free Web NovelChapter 1993: Chapter 480: Reunion with an Old Friend, The One That Got Away (Part 3)
But this kind of man, he loves doing these superficial things the most, because that old woman just likes this sort of thing. He looks like a gentleman, but who knows how filthy he is inside. Neo doesn’t even want to glance at him again, irritably waving his hand: "Let’s go."
The man nodded with a smile, turned around, and walked away leisurely, his tall and straight silhouette gradually receding.
Neo took a few steps, suddenly feeling something was amiss, as the striking face of a young girl gradually surfaced in his mind, coinciding with the man’s face he had just seen. He was amazed to discover that their brows and eyes had a six or seven-part resemblance, especially the shape of their eyes, which was exactly identical.
How could there be people in the world who look so alike?
Neo never believed in coincidences. He quickly chased after the man, under the bright moon, the man’s figure leaped off the deck, a breathtaking frost-colored beauty beneath the moonlight.
He was shocked, thinking the man had jumped into the sea. He quickly ran over, only to see a solitary boat causing ripples on the surface, drifting out several meters in an instant.
The man stood remotely at the bow, hands behind his back, the sea breeze lifting his clothes, he looked as if he could return with the wind in the next instant, ephemeral like the breeze.
Under the silver-white moonlight, his face appeared even more beautiful and peerless. Across this vast sea, in the solitude between heaven and earth, only this brilliant hue stood out, stunning through time and space.
Neo watched as the solitary boat under the moon sailed further away, until under the moonlight it gradually became a tiny black dot, finally disappearing from view.
"Who exactly is he?" Neo murmured to himself.
——
The small boat drifted for a whole night, finally reaching a large ship coming to meet it as the dawn appeared with a hint of white.
Yun Miao hadn’t slept all night, yet showed no signs of exhaustion, Dylan greeted him joyfully: "Boss, you’re finally back."
Yun Miao nodded lightly.
Back then, when he was taken away in a stealthy attack by those people, Dylan had managed to escape in the thrill of the moment. Prior to that, Boss had given him some hints, so he went directly to Cilin to arrange everything, waiting for Boss to send a message.
This time leaving and seeing each other again, compared to before, he seemed much more mature and steady, those pitch-black eyes were once again inscrutable, Dylan felt increasingly respectful inside.
Dylan reported the recent events to him, when a sound came from outside the door, a woman dressed in black walked in from outside.
Frightened, Dylan hastily reached for the gun hidden at his waist, but as soon as he lifted the gun, it flew out of his hand unexpectedly and straight into the woman’s hand. The woman toyed with the gun, the slightly heavy gun spun nimbly between her slender fingers like a flying knife, it was dazzling just to watch, her expression remained cold throughout, she glanced sideways, that icy gaze made Dylan’s heart skip involuntarily.
The gun "swished" past Dylan’s cheek, the muzzle deeply embedded in the wooden wall behind, dust flying, the woman’s disdainful gaze was like a cold knife slicing inch by inch through his skin.
"Who are you really?" Dylan immediately shielded Yun Miao with an air of defiance.
The woman’s sword-like eyebrows slightly raised.
"She’s Mingyue." Yun Miao began to explain calmly: "One of mine."
Dylan was momentarily surprised, quickly reacting, and laughed: "So it’s one of our own, look at me, nearly came to blows."
Boss has such mysterious origins, having someone this skilled by his side.
"You should leave now." As Yun Miao’s soft voice rang out, Dylan wordlessly retreated, reaching out to pull the gun from the wall, initially unable to remove it. He broke out in a cold sweat, awkwardly smiled, used all his strength to pull the gun free, almost falling to the ground. The woman’s long leg hooked his waist, lightly pushing him out, and Dylan felt himself being propelled out, instantly exiting the room, the door closing in his face.
Standing at the door, after barely stabilizing himself, he felt his thudding heart, gently exhaling.
That was close.
"Such weak people are not fit to stay by the master’s side." Mingyue’s tone carried a hint of disdain.
Yun Miao smiled lightly, "I am no longer Baili Changqing. Now I am merely a boy without the strength to truss a chicken."
Mingyue seemed to have thought of something, her gaze slightly cold, pursed her lips, and said: "The master wants to investigate the Mafia, I happen to have a lead here. The Mafia’s leader Arturo once had a most favored woman, who bore Arturo’s youngest son, Gan Luo. It’s rumored Arturo intended to make this son his heir, but before he could act on it, he suddenly died. After his death, the power struggle among his sons became increasingly intense, with the clash between Parker and Riche being the most severe. Yet, to eliminate the threat of Gan Luo, the two joined forces temporarily, slaughtering Gan Luo and his mother. Arturo’s bodyguards ultimately sacrificed their lives to send the two away, their whereabouts remain unknown, but the woman had a nephew who always followed by her side, they got separated during their escape."
