Moxiao Bai hurriedly called out to Moya once, but didn't hear any response from Moya. Soon after, he heard the sound of a phone hitting the ground. Moxiao Bai's heart suddenly felt empty and blank as he stared at the phone with his mouth agape, listening to the suffocatingly calm sounds coming through—the sound of waves followed by someone speaking in a seductive tone. However, Moxiao Bai could hardly make out what was being said; it was clear Italian, one of the languages he knew best, yet he couldn't comprehend its meaning.
Moxiao Bai had already left the church hall since the wedding ceremony was about to start and Moya still hadn't arrived. He felt restless and uncomfortable inside the hall, so he stepped out for a walk and called Moya at the same time. The priest had already reminded him once to hurry up with the wedding; otherwise, they would miss the auspicious time. At that moment, Moxiao Bai's mind was completely consumed by this memory triggered by the gunshot sound, which broke through his previously sealed memories and slowly pieced together all of his past experiences, including everything he had forgotten.
He was such an idiot; yet still asked why.
"Brother..." Moxiao Bai called out softly with a look filled with fragile hope, "Brother, can you hear me Wait for me. I'll come to find you right away."
A gentle voice suddenly came through the phone, tinged with magnetism: "You'd better go to hell to find him. Listen to his last words now; let me tell you how I welcomed him into death."
"Stop! Stop! Don't hurt my brother!" Moxiao Bai's voice was choked off as if someone had clamped a hand over his throat, preventing any sound from coming out. He then heard another round of gunshots followed by the massive explosion of a cruise ship... After the explosion, everything fell silent again; Moya’s phone seemed to have been left there deliberately, as if waiting for someone to hear how he died or record it.
Moxiao Bai had a splitting headache. Wushuang came over and called out to him, "Bai, what's going on Has the boss arrived yet"
Moxiao Bai slowly turned around and looked at Wushuang. Jibing stood behind Wushuang in a white veil, her eyes filled with shyness and happiness as she waited for Moxiao Bai to take her hand and enter the chapel.
He had experienced such moments of happiness many times on screen. Moxiao Bai recalled Ye Feimo's words from yesterday; they were frighteningly accurate. It seemed like he was a god with foreknowledge, predicting today’s events with uncanny precision.
Wushuang sensed something amiss. Moxiao Bai still hadn't hung up his phone, and as his eyes met Jibing's, he softly said, "Jibing, the recording is true. I’m sorry; I forgot an important matter. My breakup with you was real—I can’t marry you."
After Moxiao Bai finished speaking, he sprinted towards the church exit. Wushuang shouted after him, but by then, Moxiao Bai had already run far away. Jibing stood there in a daze, seemingly deaf to what Moxiao Bai said; her face was still frozen in an expression of happiness as she watched his voice fade into nothingness at the doorway. Mochen followed and asked Wushuang, "What's going on"
"Something might have happened," Wushuang replied. "Go call for help; I’ll go after Bai."
With that, she chased after Moxiao Bai as he got into his car and sped down the road towards the port. The church was far from the port, but despite driving at top speed and running red lights, it still took Moxiao Bai over an hour to reach there. By the time he arrived, the area was already cordoned off by police with a no-trespassing warning. Moxiao Bai got out of his car, and noise could still be heard from his phone. The boss’s phone was still in a corner somewhere.
This is it!
Moxiao Bai anxiously searched the sea surface, barely making out several floating bodies. His breathing slowed as he tried to calm down and observe the police search.
Rumors had it that a conflict between the mafia and another gang led to an outbreak of violence; the cruise ship exploded, leaving numerous incomplete limbs scattered across the water, while intact bodies were rare. Moxiao Bai waited anxiously. The port was cordoned off with yellow tape. Alongside other onlookers, Moxiao Bai watched from outside. With his keen eyesight, he spotted Lei among them; alive or dead, he couldn't tell. Suddenly, Moxiao Bai's eyes burned in pain as they saw him placed among the bodies—like a bolt of lightning striking him.
Had Feng Yun Lei really died
Moxiao Bai almost broke through the tape. Wuxiang arrived just then and pulled Moxiao Bai back, signaling for him to stay still. Wuxiang led Moxiao Bai away from the crowd and said, "Wait."
"Lei is over there," Moxiao Bai tried to remain calm. Wuxiang nodded, "Yes, I saw him. It doesn't look good."
Not long after Wuxiang arrived, Kaka and Ghost Face also showed up. Kaka placed a hand on Wuxiang's shoulder in comfort, while Ghost Face found an elevated spot to get a better view. He was more agile. Moxiao Bai said, "Brother’s phone is here. Can you see where he is"
The Phantom麵具 nodded and called Mo Chen, asking him to locate Mo Yao's cellphone from the urban novel.
The corpse was retrieved. Due to it being a gang shootout during daytime, no one claimed the body. The police gathered all the bodies onto a truck, preparing to send them for cremation. Xiao Bai went red-eyed with worry; not only might Mo Yao be among the dead, but Lei’s body was also on that truck.
White Night and Ye Wei as well as Eleven arrived in time. Ye Wei used her connections at the police station to help out; Eleven hurriedly checked through those bodies for any sign of Mo Yao. Wu Shuang ordered someone to take away Lei's corpse, while the rest of the Mafia subordinates’ bodies were not intact. They searched and searched but found only a watch that belonged to Mo Yao. He had worn this seven-year-old watch, which Xiao Bai bought him, all the time.
Mo Xiaobai nearly wept looking at that watch: It was Mo Yao’s watch; under what circumstances would it have fallen off his hand A very bloody scene flashed through Mo Xiaobai's mind: Only when Mo Yao's body was shattered into pieces like this could the watch fall off.
Wu Shuang, still unwilling to accept reality, asked White Night, “Lei really can't be saved”
White Night replied, "Offer your condolences and adapt to the situation."
Wu Shuang bit her lip, her hatred surfacing.e. They played soccer in their neighborhood; there was a large park with a field available for them to play on.The town also had a clubhouse where many sports activities were held.Sensen and Mumu both...
