Chapter 74: The Funeral
"Mo Fei, don't let me find out you're deceiving me, or I'll kill you with my own hands, I swear!"
After uttering a harsh threat, Mia turned and left Mo Fei's house.
"Mia, how was it? Did he do anything to you?" As soon as Mia came out, Xiao Jinmao Brian quickly went up to her.
"Mo Fei is not Braga! And he promised me that within three days, he will make that son of a bitch Braga pay the price he deserves!" Mia pursed her lips and said calmly.
Mo Fei revealed quite a few things to Mia, but he asked Mia not to tell anyone, especially not Xiao Jinmao Brian.
If he handed over all of Braga's information, Braga would certainly be finished, arrested by the FBI and sent to prison. But who's to say Braga couldn't still control his criminal organization from inside prison?
What if Braga resented Mo Fei and remotely commanded people to attack Mo Fei from prison?
Would he even be able to live his life?
What Mo Fei wanted to do was completely nip the problem in the bud, by killing him directly!
If you don't pull out the roots, the weeds will grow back with the spring breeze!
"Mia, don't be silly!" Brian said helplessly, "If he really was Braga, he certainly wouldn't admit it to you!"
"But he wouldn't kill Letty! You wouldn't know how good Letty and Mo Fei's relationship was back then!" Mia looked coldly at Brian, "People like you will never understand the importance of family to others!"
"What if Letty held a fatal threat against him, forcing him to act ruthlessly?"
"Then Letty herself would destroy those things, she wouldn't show them to anyone, nor would she tell anyone else! So Mo Fei would never have a reason to kill Letty!"
Brian: "..."
There's no reasoning with this, damn it!
"However, Mo Fei asked me to tell you something."
"What?"
[Mo Fei: Braga and I really have nothing to do with each other besides women. If you insist on making a connection, then he can only have something to do with my name!]
Murphy's Law: Nothing is as simple as it seems on the surface!
"What does that mean?"
"Learn more, my great FBI agent! Isn't his meaning obvious enough? In your investigation into Braga, there's a very important problem you've overlooked. As long as you find this problem, Braga's identity will naturally become clear at a glance." Mia snorted lightly and turned to leave.
Brian: "..."
Mo Fei only said one sentence, and you can deduce so much from it?
He felt his IQ being rubbed on the ground by Mia... Letty's funeral.
Adorned with flowers.
Many of Letty's old friends from New York also came.
The most placed in front of her tombstone were intimate old photos of her and the bald Dominic.
Mia looked at those photos, her vision blurring involuntarily.
That was her closest family, yet now she had died without a complete corpse...
Heartbroken, Mia just wanted to find someone to lean on, and then she plunged into... Mo Fei's arms.
To be honest, Mo Fei didn't want this hug, but there was no other way. Among everyone present, he was the most qualified to accept Mia's hug.
In terms of closeness to Mia, only family members were closer, but now there were only Mo Fei and Brian here, everyone else was in exile, and Brian was a traitor, so of course it was Mo Fei's task to comfort Mia.
"Mia, don't be too sad. If Letty is in heaven, she wouldn't want to see you immersed in painful memories for her." As he spoke, Mo Fei's hand quietly moved downwards, imperceptibly resting on Mia's... It wasn't that Mo Fei was heartless, taking advantage of someone at a time like this. It was just that Letty wasn't dead; she had only been taken away and brainwashed by Jason Statham's brother. She would be back soon.
So Mo Fei could completely take advantage of Mia's sorrowful state to discreetly gain some benefit. There wouldn't be such a good opportunity later!
While comforting Mia, Mo Fei's hand was still gently caressing.
Damn, this texture, absolutely natural, full of elasticity, and this delicate little skin, the feel is truly amazing!
Brian, who had been watching Mo Fei and Mia, saw Mo Fei's surreptitiously caressing 'salty pig hand.' He was furious and immediately stepped forward to stop him, but then he remembered his identity. He had no status or reason to stop Mo Fei from taking advantage of Mia; their relationship was much closer than his.
So Brian could only rage ineffectually, staring intently at Mo Fei.
In his mind, he was holding Mo Fei with one hand, slapping him left and right—'Do you dare to touch her again? Touch her again?'
But unfortunately, Mo Fei couldn't hear his curses... It was almost on fire!
The funeral ended with the pastor's prayer.
Mo Fei drove Mia home.
Sitting in Mo Fei's dilapidated Chevrolet, Mia's eyes looked out the window, and "accidentally" met Brian's eyes.
Fate is shallow, but love is deep!
If she wasn't Dominic's sister, a criminal, and if Brian wasn't an FBI agent, their children might be old enough to buy soy sauce by now. But alas... Mia withdrew her gaze. She actually wished so much that the person accompanying her now wasn't Mo Fei, but Brian!
(Mo Fei: ...)
Brian also lowered his head in a daze.
"Mo Fei, do you think all men are the same, that career is far more important to them than women?" Mia asked faintly.
"Of course! If your career is successful, you can have countless girlfriends, a new one every day. If you give up your career for a woman, you'll be stuck with just one for the rest of your life, how tragic! Just thinking about it is terrifying!"
Mia: "..."
She realized she had asked the wrong person. For someone like Mo Fei, who was a playboy, the answer to this question was obvious.
Fortunately, Brian wasn't like that... Pfft! Why am I thinking of him again!
After taking Mia home, watching her walk up the steps, her graceful figure, a sudden, inexplicable impulse rose in Mo Fei's heart: "Forget him, I'll steal electric bikes to support you!"
Mia's golden hair was casually draped over her shoulders, wearing two crystal earrings, her face pretty.
She wore a blue, figure-hugging pleated skirt, her slender waist appearing delicate and easily grasped against the skirt. Below that were her long, shapely legs, wrapped in black stockings, full of temptation.
Mia: "Meow meow meow?"
"I'm serious. Since Brian let you down, why bother being sad for him?" Mo Fei coughed. Damn, why did he suddenly say something so silly earlier? Perhaps he was influenced by past memories. It seems his former self might have truly loved her, but unfortunately, he wasn't his former self, so Mo Fei, now sober, couldn't continue like this. So he said with a very serious expression: "I'm willing to take over for Brian. Even if I have to steal electric bikes, I won't let you and the child go hungry!"
Mia: "..."
"Get lost!" Mia, mortified, threw her handbag directly at Mo Fei. "Do I need you to take over? The men who pursue me could line up from here to France!"
