However, it was the truth that Mo Fei hated with a vengeance.
The root of her hatred was that Ye Cong was right about this.
She was from the same world as Ye Cong, so Ye Cong could pinpoint the root of her problem.
Ye Cong looked at Mo Fei. “Mo Fei, people like us are destined to never have anyone by our side.”
“That’s you.” Mo Fei instinctively retorted. She did not like hearing that. She hated it, very much.
Ye Cong was not angry. At least, he would not be angry over something like this.
“To you, Qian Yikun can help you get rid of your loneliness, but you can’t integrate yourself into his world. Their kind of sanctimonious world.” Ye Cong waved the phone in his hand.
Even his hand movements irked Mo Fei.
Qian Yikun was definitely not the kind of person that Ye Cong described him to be.
However, in these few days, she tried her best, but she still could not accept Qian Yikun’s actions.
That was because she insisted that she had not done anything wrong.
“I don’t think you’re here to lecture me, are you?” Mo Fei had no intentions to continue this topic, so she changed it.
Ye Cong nodded and handed the phone to Mo Fei.
Mo Fei reached out to take it. After giving Ye Cong a hostile peer, she turned to look at the phone. It was a stone that glowed dimly.
“The meteorite labeled Leonids X-D13 is said to have very strong diamagnetic properties. It was originally kept in the museum in X Country, but after twenty years, it was stolen. Its whereabouts are now unknown. Someone once estimated that this meteorite, X-D13, is worth—” Ye Cong extended his palm.
“Fifty million?” Mo Fei glanced skeptically at the rock that did not seem like anything special other than being relatively brighter than normal rocks.
Ye Cong glanced at Mo Fei. “I’ve noticed that your worldview has gotten smaller after getting all chummy with these people.”
“That’s five billion, then.” Mo Fei then returned the phone to Ye Cong. “For a stupid rock?”
“This is something that many scientists around the world are looking for, but no one knows about,” Ye Cong said as he tapped on the table. “Humans are strange. This is something that has such strong diamagnetic properties, yet n.o.body noticed it.”
“It’s because of my eldest brother’s diamagnetic field,” Mo Fei said as she thought about it. She leaned back on the sofa and crossed her arms. “No wonder Ding Jiaqi wants to kill my brother. Only when my brother’s dead can this X-D13 meteorite be found.”
Five billion was not a small temptation for anyone. Or rather, it was an insane temptation.
However, a few years ago, it would seem unlikely for Ding Jiaqi to be in such dire need for money.
Mo Fei subconsciously picked up her phone, intending to tell Qian Yikun about this. However, after she fished out her phone, she put it back down decisively.
Ye Cong looked at Mo Fei with a smile that did not reach his eyes. Mo Fei could not help but feeling like she was caught red-handed. She did not wish to lower her head, she really did not.
Ye Cong stood up and tidied his clothes. “I’ve given you the information. Remember to tell me when you catch those people. Since they’ve offended me, I won’t let them off easily either.”
Meanwhile, none of these were things that Qian Yikun or any of those upright gentlemen could ever find out. This was because some of the research would not be displayed on the table openly. Otherwise, it would not be so expensive.
Mo Fei ignored him and told Ye Yuwei about this.
Ye Yuwei wondered if the two of them were using her as a messenger in their quarrels.
“Why don’t you talk to Big Brother Qian yourself?” Ye Yuwei sighed. How could they resolve their conflict without talking to each other?
