Chapter 88 - The Ones Who Should Be Careful Are Them
"Oh, I saw that both of you had the desire to watch a movie, so I thought we might as well go together, consider it team building."
Ye Mo spoke with a smile.
As the boss of the office, improving the relationship between employees was essential.
"I really am..."
Ye Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth, clenching her fists in anger.
'Old Mo, this bastard.'
'I don't know if he did it on purpose, or deliberately by accident!'
"What kind of good person thinks watching a movie counts as team building?"
She glared at Ye Mo indignantly.
"Why not? When we were in elementary school, didn't the academy organize it once? And even made us write a review afterward."
Ye Mo took it for granted.
"How can this be the same?!"
"Is there any difference?"
Ye Xiaoxiao was speechless and even had the urge to bite Ye Mo to death.
She had finally prepared herself and dressed up nicely, only to get such a result.
This gave her the feeling of punching cotton.
"Uh... alright, alright, since we're already here, let's just go together."
Regarding this, Meng Li wasn't that bothered.
Although it wasn't what she had imagined, as long as she could be with Mr. Agent, she was very satisfied.
After all, the little girl was from the Lower District and had never watched a movie in a cinema until now.
"Let's wait a bit longer; we're still missing one person; she should be here right away."
"You invited someone else?"
Ye Xiaoxiao's eyes widened slightly.
She suddenly remembered the new group chat Ye Mo created.
'This guy couldn't have...'
'That's right, it's exactly the "couldn't have" she was thinking.'
Soon, Jiang Linyue also arrived.
Her outfit today was still very simple and sporty.
A sports camisole paired with shorts, a blue and white sports jacket thrown over it.
Revealing her flat and beautiful V-cut abs, as well as her round, slender, fair, tender, and beautiful legs.
Sure enough, cuteness was simply worthless in front of sexiness.
Meng Li and Ye Xiaoxiao's looks were both very high, each having their own temperament.
But when it came to attractiveness and head-turning rate, Jiang Linyue was obviously a notch above them.
In the final analysis, it was still those two insurmountable peaks in front of her.
"What? Is there something strange about me?"
Seeing Ye Mo's gaze fixed on her.
Jiang Linyue, who was picking tickets, turned her head strangely to look at him.
When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss also gazes into you.
"Nothing, just felt like you don't seem to watch movies much."
Ye Mo awkwardly touched his nose.
"I really don't watch much, mainly because I don't have time."
Saying that, Jiang Linyue picked up a "Happy Sheep and Big Bad Wolf" movie card and examined it carefully.
"By the way, earlier on the road, I noticed someone trailing you."
Suddenly, Jiang Linyue dropped this sentence out of nowhere.
"Trailing me?"
Ye Mo frowned.
The first thing he thought of was children of aristocratic families.
After all, quite a few children of aristocratic families had come to him to buy Class Cards.
To guard against opponents, sending people to monitor and trail him was very normal.
"En, the other party's level should be around 40-something, a player who excels at stealth.
That guy tracked you all the way from Kaiyang City to here. In order not to alert the snake by beating the grass, I took a detour to meet up with you."
Jiang Linyue had originally run into Ye Mo when she was in Kaiyang City.
And happened to bump into a sneaky guy who was constantly monitoring him.
Her "Sword Immortal" class had powerful Spirit power.
After leveling up to Level 50, she awakened her class trait.
Her insight was extremely powerful.
That was why she could detect stealthy players.
"It seems the struggles between aristocratic families are exceptionally fierce. I haven't even contracted a player yet, and I'm already being targeted."
Ye Mo murmured and sighed with emotion.
"Also, you'd better keep a closer eye on them recently."
Jiang Linyue looked aside at Ye Xiaoxiao and Meng Li, who were having a dispute over what movie to watch.
"Is it because of... the Zhou family?"
Regarding the Zhou family, Ye Mo learned about them from Liu Muxiao.
Didn't she give him a list of the winners of previous national competitions before?
It clearly marked the ultimate destinations of these winners.
Most of the Wild God players with outstanding results were eventually acquired by the Zhou family at a high price.
"You actually know about the Zhou family?"
Jiang Linyue looked astonished.
She didn't expect that Ye Mo, as a Wild God Agent, actually knew about the affairs of aristocratic families.
"I learned some information from a friend."
The friend he mentioned was naturally Liu Muxiao.
After all, this piece of intelligence was also indirectly told to him by her.
"Is that so... but what you know is only one-sided.
Previously, there were multiple incidents where Wild God Agents reported the Zhou family for forcefully buying players or even kidnapping them.
But when we intervened to investigate, those Agents either dropped the charges or vanished from the face of the earth."
Hearing this, Ye Mo roughly knew the score in his heart.
'Isn't this fucking just like the Qiangsheng Group of Gao Qiqiang from my previous life!'
"With such a big suspicion, didn't you guys investigate this Zhou Group?"
Ye Mo frowned.
"We investigated, but they did it very cleanly. Those players who were reported to have been kidnapped acted as if they had been brainwashed.
Denying the facts of the Zhou family's kidnapping and forced buying and selling, and instead admitting it was voluntary.
Even if we wanted to investigate, if the person involved didn't need it, we had no way."
Speaking of this, Jiang Linyue's expression suddenly became solemn.
Lowering her voice, she leaned close to Ye Mo's ear and said:
"What I'm going to say next is classified. Actually... we now suspect that the Zhou family has an Evil God backing them.
Those players bought by them have a high probability of having their souls sacrificed, turning into obedient walking corpses!"
"Evil God?"
Hearing this, Ye Mo raised an eyebrow!
"En, but the Zhou family has a large business and property. Even we, without a corresponding excuse, cannot investigate them at will.
Moreover, this is just a suspicion, without evidence.
And they have planted informants in the Six Saint Sanctuaries, including within our Heavenly Dao Alliance."
A massive aristocratic family would plant its own hidden pieces inside any faction.
"So you have to pay more attention recently. If you encounter any trouble. Tell me in time, and let me help you settle it."
Jiang Linyue looked at Ye Mo with a serious face.
Of course, she didn't want anything to happen to Ye Mo. After all, if something happened to him, no one would relieve her of her fire.
"Thank you, I will."
Ye Mo smiled and nodded, his eyes narrowing slightly.
'The one who should be careful is not me, but them, who should not provoke me.'
'Otherwise...'
'I wouldn't mind having one more divine artifact!'
When uncertain whether the other party had an Evil God, Ye Mo naturally wouldn't reveal his trump card, so as to avoid wasting his ultimate move.
So, using Heranir temporarily was enough.
Soon.
The four of them chose a recently very popular movie, "The Terrifiers Alliance," and started watching.
They watched for three hours straight.
When they came out of the cinema, it was already 2 AM.
"It's so late, how about we find a nearby hotel to stay in?"
Looking at the dim sky and the deserted streets, Ye Mo suggested.
This place was too remote!
It was simply impossible to get a taxi.
As for Jiang Linyue, although she drove here herself.
But to drive to Kaiyang City and then go home would take at least an hour and a half.
If she had to drop Ye Mo and the others back, it would even take over two hours.
So, staying in a hotel was undoubtedly the best choice right now.
