Moyao was furious but suppressed his temper. He couldn't forgive anyone who hurt Xiaobai, not even himself. Whether Bai Liu admitted his mistake or not didn't matter to Moyao. To be honest, it made no difference either way now. Moyao glanced back at Mo Xiaobai and asked, "Anti-Terrorism already knows our whereabouts"

Bai Liu said, "I told you, I only came here for a vacation."

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

Moyao replied, "The captain of the Anti-Terrorism task force."

"Oh, Boss, haven't you always avoided making friends like him How did you two become acquainted" Mo Xiaobai asked. Moyao wanted to retort that they weren’t friends, but looking at Bai Liu, he couldn’t bring himself to say it.

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. Moyao urged Mo Xiaobai to run while Bai Liu called out to Moyao, originally intending to say that he hadn't been the one who leaked their location in the Mexican forest, but he bit back the words and thought it was best not to.

Whether Moyao knew or not didn’t seem important. He no longer cared because he wasn't someone Moyao valued anymore. Whether he betrayed him or not made no difference to Moyao now. Maybe if Moyao remembered that he had been sold out, even with hatred, it was better than nothing at all.

Moyao continued running back with Mo Xiaobai without saying anything more to Bai Liu. This time running back wasn't too strenuous for Mo Xiaobai; they paused for a few minutes midway and it was slightly tougher when they started again, but it didn’t present much of a challenge. While resting on the grass, Mo Xiaobai asked Moyao, "Boss, who exactly is he"

"I told you already," Moyao said coolly.

"He looked at you oddly; did something happen between you two" Mo Xiaobai persisted. Moyao thought to himself that Xiaobai was indeed sensitive. He couldn’t dismiss it lightly and added, "Whatever happened in the past doesn't matter anymore.

Moxiao Bai was clearly unsatisfied with this answer. Moyo turned and went upstairs, while Moxiao Bai flipped over and lay down on the lawn; a strange sense of discomfort arose in him because he didn't like how that man looked at Moyo.

Ugh, it's extremely annoying.

Ye Wei came to the garden and kicked the lying-down Xiao Bai who was pretending to be dead. "Did your drug addiction kick in Why do you look so constipated"

Moxiao Bai sincerely felt that his mother’s crassness hadn’t changed from when she was young until now; instead, it had become even more serious. If he knew that Ye Wei and Shiyi listened to them through the wall in the middle of the night, he would probably be even more depressed.

He got up with a flip and mysteriously asked Ye Wei, "Mom, does Big Brother like someone"

"Who Perhaps you could tell me" Ye Wei also pretended to show great interest. Moxiao Bai became even more mysterious as he whispered two words into Ye Wei’s ear: "A man..."

"Oh, he's opening up. How did you figure it out" Ye Wei was very surprised; she thought that Moxiao Bai had figured out that Moyo liked him. However, what Moxiao Bai said instead was, "Just now when we were off-roading, we ran into a man. I don't know how to describe their atmosphere. It didn’t seem odd, but there's something about it... it feels like they’re caught up in love and hate."

Ye Wei raised her eyebrows. "Who did you run into"

"He’s called Bai Liu. Big Brother said he was part of the Anti-Terrorism Action Team. Wasn't our big aunt also a member of the Anti-Terrorism Action Team before" Moxiao Bai said, "Does this mean that after joining forces with the first terrorist organization, they've now set their sights on us and the Black Hand Gang"

What Xiao Bai said was extremely top-notch; it sounded like there might be something to it. Ye Wei lazily narrowed her eyes; she knew who Bai Liu was because Shiyi had specially come over to see them due to this man. However, they hadn't run into him—Moyo once nearly lost his life for this man. This time Xiao Bai’s injury also had something to do with him. A cold smile appeared on Ye Wei's face as she thought of the suffering that Xiao Bai had endured recently and recalled Moxiao Bai’s sad and empty voice at night; her heart felt like it was being pricked by something.

If you have a door to heaven but don’t go through it, yet you choose to enter hell anyway, then no one can be blamed for your actions.

"Mom, what's wrong"

“Nothing!” Ye Wei said with indifference. She patted Moxiao Bai on the shoulder and said, "It's nothing much; it’s just a Romeo and Juliet story between two men. Nothing newsworthy."

Moxiao Bai was stunned and stared wide-eyed.

Ye Wei waved her hand, went upstairs to find Eleven, as she intended to deal with this White Willow. Upon hearing this, Eleven shook her head and said, "Moyao didn't mean that."

"So Bai just suffered for nothing"

Eleven was conflicted; she did not want Moyao to be in a difficult position again, yet she could not bear seeing Bai suffer. She said to Ye Wei, "Vivian, try another approach. Don't kill the person."

Ye Wei thought it over and realized that neither Moyao nor Bai had any intention of killing White Willow. If she killed White Willow out of anger for her son alone, Moyao might have a different reaction when he found out. Moreover, Ye Wei was unsure what Moyao's current feelings towards White Willow were since the latter used to be someone Moyao had considered before. After Eleven said this, Ye Wei listened and agreed with her suggestion. As such, White Willow woke up inexplicably in Rub' al Khali Desert. All forms of communication on his person were disabled; he was unable to call out for help from anyone. Ye Wei and Eleven left a riddle-like message for the counter-terrorism organization. By the time they found him, he would most likely have turned into human jerky.

Moxiao Bai remained as the lovable little white bai until the New Year arrived. Moyao never encountered Bai with her memory restored; that version of Bai did not appear again after his drug addiction was gradually overcome. As his physical addiction decreased, his mental addiction increased. People recovering from a drug habit often relapse, and this is because it's challenging to overcome their psychological dependence, especially during this crucial period. Ye Wei and Eleven remained in Riyadh, keeping an eye on Moxiao Bai’s training so he could shift his focus away from drugs and avoid relapsing easily.

Bai had returned to her best state; at least outwardly, she appeared normal with no trace of drug use, as White Night mentioned that she was doing well. However, it wasn't entirely certain that Bai's physical addiction had been completely overcome after such an extended period of recovery. Her mental addiction remained strong; six months would be sufficient for someone heavily addicted to drugs to become fully rehabilitated.

The drug that Bai consumed not only caused physical damage but also induced a severe psychological dependence, ten times stronger than other drugs. This was why Moyao had to be particularly cautious about Bai's mental addiction and prevent her from relapsing.

If she did relapse, overcoming the addiction again would be much harder.

Wushuang and Kaka, Rongyan, and Chu Li all came to Riyadh for the New Year. The Su family was bustling with activity; everyone from the Mo family except Mocheng had arrived in Riyadh. Mocheng needed to stay in Rome to take care of Ji Bing, so he couldn't make it to Riyadh, leaving Moxiao Bai longing for both Ji Bing and his little brother. He wanted them all to be together during the New Year celebrations, but White Night rejected this idea by saying that they were not welcoming strangers, as instructed by Ye Wei and Eleven; otherwise, no one could resist the spoiled antics of Moxiao Bai.

With White Night being so firm in her stance, there was no way to convince Su Man either. It seemed like an impossible task, so he didn't even try. He vaguely knew that his family strongly disliked Ji Bing, which left Moxiao Bai feeling somewhat disappointed.

Despite this minor setback, the New Year festivities were still very enjoyable, with Chu Chu joining them on New Year's Eve for a joyful reunion filled with smiles from everyone. In such an atmosphere, Moxiao Bai suddenly missed Ji Bing and called him up.

Ji Bing was pitifully expressing her longing over the phone; she really wanted to see Moxiao Bai. "I haven't seen you in so long, Little White. How long are you going to stay in Riyadh"

She knew that Little White was undergoing detoxification. Mo Chen had said that some bad people had injected drugs into Little White, and he could only come back once he completed his detox. Ji Bing very much wanted to accompany Little White, but Mo Chen said it would be useless even if she married him, as it might distract Little White from focusing on his detox.

Ji Bing knew that Little White was suffering a lot. A while ago, Mo Chen had shown her some videos of when Little White relapsed into drug addiction in order to dissuade her from going to Riyadh. He had been fooling Ji Bing like this for several months already.

Ji Bing really missed Mo Xiaobai. Ever since she could remember, she had never been separated from him for such a long time. She felt very lonely and isolated in Rome where she was unfamiliar with the surroundings, and she wanted Little White by her side.

She didn’t place much importance on the Lunar New Year; it wasn’t because of the holiday that she wished for Little White to come back. All the while, she had been hoping for him to return, wondering when his health would improve. During their video calls, he looked to be in good condition.

"June, I’ll have to wait until April at the latest. My love, please be patient and wait a few more months."

Mo Xiaobai was trying to comfort Ji Bing. He knew that he had wronged her by disappearing for such a long time while being her boyfriend; he really felt guilty.

"Doesn’t that mean I won’t see you the whole year" Ji Bing’s voice sounded as if she were on the verge of tears, feeling sad as she touched the ring on her finger. Mo Xiaobai tried to comfort her: "Ji Bing, my sweet girl, don’t cry, it hurts me."

"Are you still experiencing drug cravings" Ji Bing asked.

Mo Xiaobai thought for a moment and replied, “Yes, very badly. This type of drug is rare, so the addiction is hard to kick. I promise that I will definitely quit. When I come back to find you, I won’t leave your side again; don’t be afraid."

"Really"

"Really, I swear," Mo Xiaobai promised. Relieved, Ji Bing said, "Detoxing must be so hard for you. I’ve seen people in detox centers struggle a lot with it. Were they restraining you The last time I saw your wrists, there were some wounds."

"Minor injuries, nothing serious. If I’m not restrained, the withdrawal symptoms are worse." Mo Xiaobai began to sincerely deceive his naive girlfriend: "I don’t want to come back early because if I relapse it might hurt you. So Ji Bing, please don’t be too sad and wait another half a year for me."

"I’m not afraid," Ji Bing said.

Mo Xiaobai laughed as he shook his head: "But I am.undoubtedly earth-shattering.The uncertainty surrounding the male and female leads had created suspense for everyone.No one really expected much from the male lead because 'Liang Hongyu' was a renowne...
