Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Yu Jiangqing and Lu Qichuan exchanged glances. Lu Qichuan suddenly stepped forward and pulled Gu Juexi back. Yu Jiangqing stepped forward and shot at Cheng Jie. Cheng Jie quickly dodged the bullet by using the men around him as a s.h.i.+eld.
The sudden sound of gunshots stunned Ye Yuwei for a moment. However, she quickly regained her composure and ran up the stairs.
Bai Yuyan screamed but could not stop Ye Yuwei. She cursed as she heard the gunshots and looked around.
“Do not move.”
Bai Yuyan’s voice stopped Ye Yuwei from running up the stairs. Ye Yuwei turned around slowly and looked at Bai Yuyan who was pointing a gun at her. She held onto the handrail and glared at Bai Yuyan.
“Ye Yuwei, do you know that you’re the person I hate the most? Do you know why I have not killed you yet?” Bai Yuyan asked.
Gunshots could be heard outside.
Inside, the voice of Bai Yuyan filled the place.
Ye Yuwei gripped the handrail tightly to prevent herself from falling.
“Ye Yuwei, the most painful thing in the world is not death. Even if you hate Gu Juexi, you will still be willing to die for him, right?” Bai Yuyan said as she held the gun in her hand. Step by step, she walked to the edge of the window.
“What do you mean?” Ye Yuwei watched Bai Yuyan and started to feel uneasy.
“Do you still remember the sapphire?” Bai Yuyan sneered.
Sapphire?
After the fire, she could not find her sapphire. She thought that she had lost it in the fire.
“You would not have expected that right? That is a symbol of your ident.i.ty, but Gu Juexi took it because he knew your ident.i.ty. He knew that it belonged to you,” Bai Yuyan said as she laughed hysterically.
Ye Yuwei stared at Bai Yuyan and her breathing got heavier.
“What are you trying to say?”
“Ye Yuwei, Gu Juexi is carrying that sapphire now.”
Ye Yuwei held onto the handrail uncertainly.
“What you don’t know is that I have hidden a small bomb inside the sapphire, and it is sufficient to kill Gu Juexi,” Bai Yuyan said wildly. “Gu Juexi treats the sapphire as his most precious belonging and keeps it with him all the time. Ye Yuwei, you only have five minutes before I detonate the bomb.”
Ye Yuwei’s eyes widened. She turned around and ran out in seconds.
Bai Yuyan smirked. She knew that she would not be able to survive, regardless of whether Cheng Jie or Gu Juexi survived.
Moreover, Bai Ying would not let her off. She would have to take advantage of Cheng Jie’s situation and escape now.
As for Ye Yuwei, she deserved to die here.
Bai Yuyan kept her pistol and left the s.h.i.+p on a lifeboat.
The sound of gunshots filled the place. Gu Juexi’s team had limited bullets and chose close combat whenever possible.
The people that Cheng Jie hired were all highly paid mercenaries.
Lu Qichuan had not trained for many years and his strength was not as good as before. He was successfully attacked several times.
When Yu Jiangqing pulled Lu Qichuan out of the enemy’s grasp again, he was kicked in the arm by another man. The two men tumbled to the ground side-by-side. Yu Jiangqing squatted on one knee and said hoa.r.s.ely, “Brother, life in a suit must have been good.”
