Ye Yuwei looked at Gu Tianxin’s hands and pa.s.sed her some tissues.
Gu Tianxin took the tissues with a trembling hand and said after a while, “I could let you in on this – Wen Lan is still alive.”
“What?” Ye Yuwei looked up in disbelief.
Gu Tianxin heaved a sigh of relief when she saw Ye Yuwei’s reaction.
“Wen Lan is still alive, and I can lead you to her if you agree to protect me,” said Gu Tianxin.
“Wen Lan died in the helicopter in front of our own eyes. Why should I believe you?” Ye Yuwei asked after she had calmed herself down.
“If that’s the case, this video and what is in my mother’s safe will be exposed to the public. I have nothing to say if you are okay with it,” Gu Tianxin said, holding her phone tightly and getting up from her chair.
“Wait,” Ye Yuwei called out before the woman left.
Gu Tianxin looked at Ye Yuwei and waited for what she had to say.
“I can pa.s.s your message to Gu Juexi but I can’t guarantee what he will say,” said Ye Yuwei hesitantly.
Gu Tianxin nodded and watched Ye Yuwei dial Gu Juexi’s number.
Meanwhile, Gu Juexi was playing golf with a man at a golf course – the man who had helped Wen Jie in the hospital the other day.
“I have heard so much about you, Mr. Gu. What made you ask me out for golf?” The man swung his golf club and squinted at the golf ball flying through the air.
“I saw in a footage that you helped my mother the other day, so I decided to thank you, Mr. Nalan,” Gu Juexi said as he swung the golf club in his hand.
Something flickered in the man’s eyes when he heard what Gu Juexi called him, but then he laughed.
“It was no trouble at all, please don’t mention it.” Nalan Jing sat down at the rest area and took a bottle of water from one of the caddies.
Gu Juexi pa.s.sed his golf club to one of the caddies and sat down opposite Nalan Jing.
“Mr. Nalan left that segment out of the footage. I wonder if you neglected it or left it out deliberately?”
“Mr. Gu is indeed very smart.” Nalan Jing drank some water and looked at Gu Juexi while leaning back against the chair.
“Though I am just a normal human being who makes mistakes,” said Gu Juexi, “let’s be straightforward, Mr.Nalan…”
Gu Juexi’s phone rang suddenly and interrupted what he was going to say. He apologized and whipped out his phone, smiling when he saw the caller ID. “My wife.”
Gu Juexi got up from his chair to answer the call and frowned when he heard what Ye Yuwei said. He did not look at the man who could very possibly be the culprit and was sitting right there and said to Ye Yuwei, “Got it. Make sure she stays in the bank, and we will talk about it when I pick you up later.”
Gu Juexi ended the call and sighed, holding his phone tightly before going back to Nalan Jing.
“Sorry but I have to go, something came up in the bank.”
“How lucky that Mr. Gu has someone like Mrs. Gu to help out your business,” said Nalan Jing smilingly.
“I am quite curious, why did you tell my mother that you were a doctor?” Gu Juexi did not deny what Nalan Jing said and asked instead.
“I wasn’t really lying. My fiancée was a doctor and I managed to learn enough to tell what Mrs. Gu was suffering from.”
“I see. Mr. Nalan must have learned a lot then. After all, what my mother was suffering from was not just any common illness,” Gu Juexi gripped his cup tightly and said emotionlessly.
