Chapter 2000 - 1994: Know or Don’t Know

"It’s not really possible for me to fight against these people. Maybe, you all can take a look and see what this ’dark’ group is actually doing, or stop them from harassing His Majesty again. Let His Majesty think independently, and not be so extreme. This would be good for you, for me, and for the entire M Country. Right now, I am under His Majesty’s command and it’s tough going. I don’t know when His Majesty’s temper will get me killed..."

Ye Ning paused, unsure of where to begin.

"Alright, I’m heading back. His Majesty also sent me to bring something to Miss Ye. I advised His Majesty to take things slowly. He decided to ease up a bit to give you more time to think things over. Or, before we leave Dubai, you can come see His Majesty and help put his mind at ease before he returns to the country. Otherwise, he might not be willing to leave, and we can’t stay in this place for too long due to safety concerns for His Majesty."

Ye Ning nodded.

After seeing off Zuo Qirui, she sat down, pinching her chin, wondering curiously what this "dark" thing was all about.

Why was she completely unaware?

QM was just beside her, unusually quiet today, seemingly not saying a word.

When Ye Ning turned around, QM immediately pretended not to know anything and went to scratch at the wall.

"QM." Ye Ning jumped over suddenly.

"Explain to me clearly, did you know about this long ago but just didn’t tell me?"

"Hey, what’s this about? What do you mean I knew?"

"Otherwise, how did you pick up the job to catch Si Wen?"

"Hey, hey, hey, don’t be like this. I... whoever pays me, I work for them. That’s always been our principle. Plus, didn’t you mess up this job? You still have the nerve to mention it. We lost half a year’s worth of meal money like that. They were paying a lot!"

"So now tell me, where exactly did you get it from?"

"They just sent someone over, gave me money, and asked me to do the job. How would I know who it really was? Initially, it was taken up by the lower members, and I was reluctant to do it. Catching a woman... just sounds boring. But when I saw how much they were paying..."

"Enough with the nonsense, just tell me how much you know!"

"I’m being wronged; I really don’t know. I just know they’re exactly like what Zuo Qirui said. They’ve been appearing in California recently, pretending to be special forces and stirring up trouble. No one else knows who these people really are."

Ye Ning pondered, sat down and opened Whatsapp to message Gong Ye again.

However, Gong Ye was slow to respond.

At this moment, Mu Yeli came in, looked at Ye Ning, and asked, "What are you guys doing? This looks..."

So serious.

Ye Ning replied, "Nothing..."

Involved marriages and clones. Ye Ning wasn’t sure if she should bring this up with Mu Yeli.

However, she wasn’t sure if Mu Yeli had any information on this.

"Hey, have you heard of some dark forces, do, do you know anything about them?"

Mu Yeli turned his head, "Dark forces? What dark forces?"

Ye Ning thought for a moment, smiled, and said, "Nothing, just talking about a game. Never mind, it’s nothing. Zuo Qirui left and said I should meet Xiaojian before leaving. I agreed."

Mu Yeli listened, silently nodding, "Alright, but be careful if you go."

"Got it, rest assured."

"Last time you said that, and then you got taken to Dubai."
