Chapter 1201: An Accident
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Xiao Yaojing grabbed the staff member by the collar before Ye Yuwei could recover from the shock and shouted, “What good is it to apologize now? Do you think your apology would work if someone got hurt, or worse, died? There are people around here, do you think an apology is sufficient when such a big flower pot dropped from the sky?”
Xiao Yaojing’s voice was at its loudest because of her fury. If not for Qian Yikun’s sudden appearance, well, she didn’t dare think about the consequences.
The staff member apologized profusely. He was obviously in shock too as he stuttered when he spoke and his face was so pale he looked like he might faint soon. Of course, he had foreseen the consequences of this incident. The windows were always closed before this, so he had to check which b.a.s.t.a.r.d had opened the window today.
Ye Yuwei’s heart was still pounding in fear. She looked up and saw the window was still open, but the pots that were originally by the window had been removed.
Qian Yikun looked at the pale Ye Yuwei and asked in concern, “Are you okay? Are you injured?”
Ye Yuwei’s absent gaze focused on him. Her heart was still beating furiously, but fortunately, she wasn’t injured.
“Brother Qian, thank you, I’m alright,” Ye Yuwei thanked him, her voice shaky.
Qian Yikun nodded. He looked at the staff member who looked ashamed from the scolding and looked back up at the window above them.
Ye Yuwei was sitting in her office, holding a gla.s.s of water and zoning out when Gu Juexi rushed to check on her after receiving the news.
Gu Juexi walked directly to Ye Yuwei, not even registering Qian Yikun standing quietly at the side.
“Are you okay? Are you hurt?” Gu Juexi went over and squatted down in front of Ye Yuwei, a.n.a.lyzing her body from head to toe.
Ye Yuwei looked at Gu Juexi when she heard his voice and held his hands. Her out-of-focus gaze slowly fixed on him. “I’m fine. Luckily Brother Qian was pa.s.sing through and he pulled me aside.”
Brother Qian?
Gu Juexi frowned at the mention of the name and finally looked at Qian Yikun. Why was he so idle all day long?
Qian Yikun greeted him with a nod. “Mr. Gu, since you are here, I’ll see myself out. Yuwei was quite shocked today, so I hope Mr. Gu can keep her company.”
“Officer Qian, your a.s.sistance is very much appreciated. I’ll invite you to a meal someday,” Gu Juexi said flatly, his offer lacking sincerity.
Qian Yikun didn’t take it to heart. He left after saying goodbye to Ye Yuwei.
Meanwhile, Xiao Yaojing was still furious at the staff’s negligence and wanted to sue them.
After Qian Yikun left, Gu Juexi turned to Ye Yuwei again and asked gently, “Was it that person?”
Ye Yuwei was certainly shocked by the incident, but her mind was still alert. After all, she’d been through all kinds of adventures and murderous attempts simply by being with Gu Juexi.
This question had been playing in her mind. “I think so. I felt like someone was watching me when I was having my lunch, and the flowerpot dropped right when I exited the hotel. It can’t be a coincidence.”
Obviously, someone had been watching her and waiting for her to leave.
Back then, the flowerpot had fallen from the third floor. At that height, it would not have killed her, but it would certainly have caused a serious injury.
In conclusion, that person didn’t intend to kill her, but was warning her.
Gu Juexi arched an eyebrow as he pondered. He made a call and asked someone to check the CCTV of the hotel during the incident.
Hearing their conversation, Xiao Yaojing’s eyes widened in surprise and she asked, “Do you know who did this? This was not an accident?”
Ye Yuwei shook her head. She was positive this was not an accident.
However, she hadn’t offended anyone lately. When it came to making enemies, Gu Juexi won the best performance award since the enemies he made were powerful and tyrannical.
“Have you messed with the wrong person again recently?” Ye Yuwei raised her gaze to the man who had just ended his call.
