The 679th Chapter

o usually gave more than he took with White, found himself naturally falling into step with his desires, even if he was a novice at this activity and had to struggle to make him comfortable. Before lo...Chapter 679

Moyao was angry but suppressed his temper. Anyone who hurt Little White, he couldn't forgive, not even himself. Whether Bai Liu admitted his mistake or not didn't matter to Moyao; honestly speaking, it made no difference whether he admitted it or not now. Moyao glanced back at Mo Xiaobai and said, "The Anti-Terrorism Team already knows our whereabouts"

Bai Liu replied, "I mentioned that I was just on vacation."

Mo Xiaobai asked Moyao, "Boss, who is he"

Moyao answered, "The captain of the Anti-Terrorism Squad."

"Oh, boss, didn't you always avoid befriending people like him How did you become friends with him" Mo Xiaobai inquired. Moyao wanted to retort that they weren't friends, but when he looked at Bai Liu, he held back the words.

Bai Liu glanced at Mo Xiaobai as if he didn’t recognize him anymore.

Moyao said coolly, "If there's nothing else, we have to leave."

Bai Liu pursed his lips. When Moyao urged Mo Xiaobai to run, Bai Liu stopped him and wanted to say that the news about their whereabouts in the Mexican forest wasn't from him—he knew Moyao would think he had let it slip— but he held back, deciding not to bother.

Whether Moyao knew or not seemed unimportant; he no longer cared because Bai Liu was no longer someone Moyao cared about. Whether he betrayed Moyao or not didn’t matter now. Perhaps Moyao might remember his betrayal and still remember him, even if it was with hate, which would be better than a casual breeze.

Moyao saw that Bai Liu wasn't going to speak up and took Mo Xiaobai back on the run. This time, it wasn’t as strenuous for Mo Xiaobai to run; they stopped for several minutes mid-run before resuming with some difficulty, but there was still no major challenge. While lying down on the grass to rest, Mo Xiaobai asked Moyao again, "Boss, who is he"

"I told you already," Moyao said coolly.

Mo Xiaobai probed further, "His gaze towards you was strange; did something happen between the two of you" Mo Xiaobai asked persistently. Moyao thought that Little White was indeed sensitive and replied without dodging the question, "Whatever happened in the past doesn’t matter now."

Moxiao Bai was clearly unsatisfied with this answer. Moyo turned and went upstairs, while Moxiao Bai rolled onto the lawn, feeling an odd discomfort at seeing that man's look at Moyo.

Hmph, he really hated it.

Ye Wei came to the garden and kicked the "dead" Xiao Bai lying on the ground. "Is your drug addiction kicking in Why do you have such a constipated expression"

Moxiao Bai sincerely felt that his mother's vulgarity had remained unchanged from her youth to middle age, and it seemed to be getting worse. If he knew that Ye Wei and Shiyi had been eavesdropping on them in the dead of night, he would probably feel even more depressed.

He sprang up from the lawn like a carp and asked Ye Wei mysteriously, "Mom, does Big Brother have someone he likes"

"Who Maybe you can tell me" Ye Wei also acted very interested. Moxiao Bai became even more mysterious and whispered two words in Ye Wei's ear, "A man..."

"Oh, he has woken up to it. How did you figure that out" Ye Wei was quite surprised; she thought Moxiao Bai had noticed that Moyo liked him. But Moxiao Bai said, "When we went off-roading earlier, we met a man. It's hard to describe their atmosphere, but there seemed to be something..."

Ye Wei raised her eyebrows and asked, "Who did you meet"

"His name is Bai Liu. Big Brother said he’s from the Anti-Terrorism Action Team. Didn't our big aunt used to be in that team too" Moxiao Bai said, "Does this mean after the Anti-Terrorism and the First Terror Organization got married, they’ve now set their eyes on us, the Black Hand Gang"

Xiao Bai's statement was extremely provocative. The term 'marriage alliance' did give a slightly ominous feeling. Ye Wei lazily narrowed her eyes; she knew who Bai Liu was. Due to him, Shiyi had once specially gone to check on them, but didn't find anyone. Moyo had almost lost his life for this man before, and Xiao Bai's recent injury also had something to do with him. A cold smile appeared on Ye Wei's face as she recalled the suffering Xiao Bai endured recently and the sorrowful hollow voice he emitted at night; it felt like being pricked by something.

Heaven has a door you don’t take, but hell, which has no entrance, is where you choose to go. So if anything goes wrong, nobody can be blamed.

"Mom, what's the matter"

"Nothing!" Ye Wei said nonchalantly and patted Moxiao Bai on the shoulder. "It’s just a small matter; nothing new."

Moxiao Bai was shocked and stared with wide eyes.

Ye Wei waved her hand, then went upstairs to find Eleven. She wanted to get rid of this White Willow. Upon hearing this, Eleven shook her head, "Moyao doesn’t mean that."

"Then Bai just suffered for nothing"

Eleven was somewhat troubled; she didn’t want Moyao to have a hard time and also felt sorry for Bai. "Vivi, change your approach. Don’t kill the person."

Ye Wei thought about it and realized that neither Moyao nor Bai had any intention of killing White Willow. If she acted alone to vent her son's anger by killing White Willow, she couldn’t be sure how Moyao would feel upon learning this, especially since he once had feelings for White Willow. Hearing Eleven’s advice, Ye Wei agreed with it. As a result, White Willow inexplicably woke up in the Rub’ al Khali Desert, his communication system completely disabled. Unable to call for help, Ye Wei and Eleven were kind enough to leave behind a riddle-like message for the anti-terrorist organization; by the time they found him, he would have grown into an adult.

Moxiao Bai remained as playful as ever until the end of the year. Throughout this period, Moyao didn’t see Bai with his memories restored. That version of Bai disappeared as Moyao’s drug addiction gradually subsided. As the physical addiction weakened over time, the mental one intensified. People recovering from drug addiction often relapse because it is difficult to overcome the psychological craving, especially during such a crucial phase. Ye Wei and Eleven stayed by Moxiao Bai's side, closely monitoring his training to help him shift his focus, making it less likely for him to relapse.

Bai’s condition had returned to its best state; externally, there was no sign of anything amiss, as if he had completely transformed and left behind no traces of drug use. Baiyue said that he had recovered well. Of course, complete recovery from such a prolonged addiction wasn’t yet achieved, given the psychological craving remained strong. Six months would be sufficient for someone with severe drug dependence to fully recover.

Bai’s drug besides harming his body, its primary damage was to his mind. His physical addiction was ten times more potent than that of ordinary drugs, and his mental craving even stronger. Moxiao had to be extremely cautious about Bai’s psychological addiction, fearing a relapse.

A relapse would make subsequent recovery much harder.

Wushuang and Kaka, Rongyan and Chu Li all came to Riyadh for the New Year celebrations this year. The Su family was bustling with activity. The Mo family members were present except for Mocheng, who had to stay in Rome watching over Ji Bing. Missing Ji Bing and his older brother, Moxiao Bai wanted them to come over for a reunion. However, Baiyue refused under the pretext of not welcoming unfamiliar women, as instructed by Ye Wei and Eleven. Otherwise, no one could resist the playful and stubborn Mo Xiao.

Baiyue was firm; therefore, it was impossible for Su Man to relent either, making this a mission with little hope of success. Moxiao Bai vaguely knew that his family strongly disliked Ji Bing, which left him somewhat unsatisfied.

Despite these minor issues, the New Year celebration was very enjoyable. Chu Chuu arrived on New Year’s Eve, bringing everyone together in a festive atmosphere filled with smiles. Under such circumstances, Moxiao Bai suddenly missed Ji Bing and called her.

Ji Bing sounded very aggrieved over the phone, expressing how much she missed him. She really wanted to see Mo Xiao Bai again. "I haven’t seen you for so long, Mo Bai. How long are you going to stay in Riyadh"

She knew that Bai Xia was detoxifying. Mo Chen had said that some bad guys had injected drugs into Bai Xia, and he needed to completely detoxify before he could return. Ji Bing really wanted to go陪Bai Xia, but Mo Chen told her that it would be useless for her to marry him and that it might distract Bai Xia from his recovery.

Ji Bing knew how tough things were for Bai Xia recently; earlier, Mo Chen had sent her a video of when Bai Xia was going through drug withdrawal to discourage her from going to Riyadh. He had been deceiving Ji Bing like this for several months.

Ji Bing really missed Mo Xia. Ever since she could remember, she had never been separated from him for such a long time. She felt lonely and isolated in Rome, where everything was unfamiliar to her. She wanted Bai Xia by her side.

She didn't place much importance on the New Year's Eve concept; she wasn't thinking about Bai Xia coming back just because it was a holiday. She always hoped that he would come back soon and wondered when his health would improve again. During their video calls, she could tell that his condition was improving.

"June, I will be back at the latest by April. Darling, please be patient and wait for me for another few months," Mo Xia tried to comfort Ji Bing. He felt guilty for making her boyfriend disappear for so long while he was supposed to take care of her.

"Does this mean I won't see you all year" Ji Bing’s voice sounded like she was about to cry as she touched the ring on her finger, feeling sad. Mo Xia tried to calm her down by saying, "Ji Bing, good girl, don’t cry; it breaks my heart."

"Are you still addicted to drugs" Ji Bing asked.

Mo Xia thought about it for a moment and said, "Yes, I am. My addiction is severe. This type of drug is rare, making it hard to detoxify from. But I promise you that I will quit. When I go back to find you again, I won't leave you ever again. Don’t worry."

"Really"

"Yes, really. I promise." Mo Xia made the commitment. Ji Bing felt reassured as she recalled people in detox centers struggling with their addiction; had they restrained him The last time she saw his wrists there were some injuries.

“Minor wounds, no big deal. If it’s not restrained, withdrawal is more intense.” Mo Xia began to deceive the innocent woman with utmost sincerity. “I’m trying to delay coming back because I don’t want my addiction hurting you in any way when it gets bad. So Ji Bing, please don't be too sad and wait for me for another half a year”

“I'm not scared,” Ji Bing said.

Mo Xia shook his head with a smile, “But I am.”ok his head and said, "Nothing, I can't sleep."Moyao didn't speak, nor did Mo Xiaobai. After what seemed like an eternity, Mo Xiaobai heard Moyao's rhythmic breathing; he had fallen asleep. The leader...
