Gu Baby looked at Mo Chen in confusion, not quite understanding what he meant. Mo Chen sighed and didn’t press her for an answer. He likely wanted her to rest more. Gu Baby was indeed tired and did not think much about it. Mo Chen stayed by her side but eventually fell asleep out of sheer exhaustion. Wooden (森森) kicked him back home, claiming that since their father was in the hospital, they had nothing to eat and needed him to come home for a proper meal.

Mo Chen could only go back home to rest and take care of their two ancestors.

The return date to Qianyun Island had to be postponed due to Gu Baby's injury. When the others heard that it was an accident, they initially thought someone had tried to assassinate her. Upon hearing from Mo Chen that it was just a regular murder case and not an assassination attempt, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

"What about Little White" Mo Chen casually asked, since he usually heard Xiao Bai chattering every time he called home but this time didn't hear anything unusual. That's why he asked.

Xin Shiyi said, "He went to Mexico."

Mexico.

Mexico had long since replaced Colombia as the world’s largest drug-trafficking country due to its extensive border with the United States. Crime here was particularly rampant, and Mexican gangs were among the biggest in the world. Moreover, these gangs weren't just about turf wars anymore; they had sophisticated weapons and advanced network technology.

Even governments didn’t take them lightly.

The mafia has three days of drug trafficking lines, which have been passed down since the generation of Mo Ye and Mo Jue. Originally, when Louis was around, the drug line wasn't as long. Later, to raise funds, Mo Jue and Mo Ye expanded this line. Back then, they were forced by the First Terrorist Organization to abandon the violent arms industry and switch to drugs. This is an industry that you can't get out of once you're involved; Mo Ye and Mo Jue had also thought about withdrawing at some point, but the reality proved otherwise: pulling one thread moves them all. They are the mafia bosses, but there are thousands of people in their organization who need to eat. Power division is clear, with specific drug responsibility holders. If they were to withdraw, it would be hard to安置他們，而且很多關係是當年建立起來的，你也要人家幫忙，人家也要幫你。

Reciprocal benefits are how business works.

The men of the Mo family aren't saints either; so what if they deal drugs

If you don’t deal drugs, someone else will.

Therefore, drug trafficking has always been a line of interest for the mafia but not their core interest.

Moxiaobai is responsible for North America. The mafia's business in North America involves gang rivalry and drugs; Moxiaobai often deals with drugs. When he was just off drugs, Mo Yao didn't allow him to touch North American affairs and had him work at headquarters as a financial assistant to help Mo Chen. He feared that Moxiaobai might succumb to his drug addiction again or do something rash due to his aversion towards drugs, especially since their underworld presence in North America isn’t as strong as traditional gangs, nor do they have the solid foundation of Longmen.

This time, Moxiaobai came to Mexico mainly to discuss a drug deal. The mafia has a batch of drugs destined for the Mexican and Golden Triangle markets, with significant quantities involved; since these would pass through Mexican ports, Moxiaobai directly approached local gangs in Mexico.

Drug trafficking and gang activities in Mexico are very active, beyond government control. They have their own underworld rules, and the government has long been taken care of by them. Part of the reason for the underdevelopment of tourism in Mexico is due to the police's lack of action and the government’s tolerance of black crime. Therefore, passing through Mexico, local gangs are the best choice and the first option, as they will ensure safe passage and delivery.

Originally, Mo Yao didn’t want Moxiaobai to come to Mexico, but Moxiaobai insisted. With no other way out, Mo Yao could only accompany him, watching over Moxiaobai. It wasn't because he doubted Moxiaobai's abilities; rather, it was because after quitting drugs, Moxiaobai might still struggle with psychological addiction, and to be safe, he had to come along.

The State of Durango.

This time, Mo Xiao and Mo Xiaobai came to negotiate with sixteen agents in tow. They followed closely behind the two brothers without getting too close; from a distance, it seemed as if there were just the two of them. With the northern heatwave and nothing much to do in town, Mo Xiaobai and Mo Xiao found a villa hotel for rest and planned to go negotiate at night.

The northern city under the night sky had an oppressive feeling due to the intense heat. The neon lights just came on gave off a dizzying sensation of indulgence.

"Xiaobai, stay alert. You've been looking sick since you arrived in Mexico," Mo Xiao patted Mo Xiaobai’s face and reloaded his gun with fresh clips before hiding two palm-sized pistols inside Mo Xiaobai's underwear. These palm-sized guns were particularly small with a short range; they were easy to conceal for emergencies.

Mo Xiaobai didn't look very well, as this place wasn’t far from the forest where their incident occurred, nor was it far from the prison that once held him captive. Mo Xiaobai inevitably felt repelled by these places, and after several years, he had tried to forget about what happened back then. Yet, even though his heart buried those memories deep within, Mo Xiao never forgot about the events that transpired here concerning Xiaobai, nor did Xiaobai ever truly forget them. He no longer harbored the initial despair and depression he felt when all of this began.

However, perhaps Xiaobai didn't realize it himself; he occasionally had nightmares where he would be startled, frightened, struggling, and repeatedly calling out Mo Xiao's name— even in his dreams, Mo Xiaobai never forgot the suffering he endured.

His inner self was deeply afraid and repelled by this area of the Mexican border.

Whenever Mo Xiao held him patiently during his nightmares, kissed him to calm down repeatedly, and comforted the frightened and struggling Xiaobai until he fell back asleep peacefully once more.

At these times, Mo Xiao always felt as if his heart was being torn apart and found it impossible to sleep.

A whitey's nightmare, recurring at times, occasionally doing several nightmares in one night without waking up, only filled with fear, constantly reminding Mo Yao that no matter how happy and carefree the daily Whitey is, there is a shadow deep in his heart that the sunlight cannot reach, a shadow he loves but can't touch.

The fear of the past.

But for his sake, Whitey didn’t show it.

"No mood..." Mo Baiwei leaned on Mo Yao's shoulder, looking sick and indeed without any enthusiasm, appearing quite dejected. Mo Yao smiled faintly, "You came despite having no mood, but you're not even working after coming."

Moi Baiwei said calmly, "To be honest, I really don't like this city very much."

It's the devil in Whitey’s heart, an unshakable nightmare.

"Neither do I," Mo Yao replied lightly.

Because this city once hurt you.
