Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Regretting calling that man, Ye Yuwei took a deep breath.
[Stop being childish, Ye Yuwei.]
Ye Yuwei took another deep breath and wanted to tell this man to watch his words. She typed a message then pressed “send”.
[Can you be patient and listen to me first if I call, Gu Juexi?]
Ye Yuwei’s phone rang right after the message was sent. She hesitated for a second but picked up the call eventually, and the man really kept quiet on the other end of the line.
Ye Yuwei heaved a sigh of relief quietly and said, “Let’s not talk about anything else. Me going to the Bai family fortress is the best way.”
“Let me ask you something, Ye Yuwei.”
“Ask away.”
“How did the pigs die?”
“Don’t get personal,” said Ye Yuwei angrily, “I know what you did to Bai Yuyan because of me, but how could you be sure that she wouldn’t sell me out just because she couldn’t talk or write? Someone like Bai Yuyan would rather die than let someone she hates off the hook.” Ye Yuwei spoke quickly but what she said was right.
“What you said make sense,” Gu Juexi said approvingly, “but it isn’t a good enough reason for you to visit the Bai family fortress.”
Ye Yuwei was quite happy when Gu Juexi agreed with what she said, but Gu Juexi always had to have something to say at the end.
“It is my family affair, Gu Juexi,” said Ye Yuwei through clenched teeth.
“What nonsense. You married me and it made you part of the Gu family; what does the Bai family have to do with you?” Gu Juexi asked bluntly.
“Can we talk more sensibly?” Ye Yuwei suppressed her temper and asked patiently.
“Are you kidding me, what kind of husband and wife talks sensibly to each other? I will take care of the Bai family and we will talk about the rest when I get back. Unless you would rather settle the drama of the Gu family?”
Ye Yuwei chuckled at what Gu Juexi said knowing how tricky it could be to settle the drama of the Gu family.
Something then clicked in Ye Yuwei’s mind. “Have I told you, Gu Juexi?”
Right after she spoke, she saw a shadow flash by her window very quickly. She sprung up from her bed and stared at her surroundings cautiously. Ye Yuwei held her breath at first and wondered if she was just imagining it. She didn’t dare to go near the window and started to breathe heavily.
“What?” asked Gu Juexi as he walked into his bedroom.
“About the distant figure that I saw at the Bai family fortress… AHHHHHHHH!”
On the other line came the sound of Ye Yuwei screaming, and Gu Juexi was already running downstairs before he could think. “Ye Yuwei, what’s wrong? Say something!”
But there was complete silence on the other line.
Gu Juexi cursed and jumped off the second floor for a faster way out. He quickly went to his car and sped to the hotel where Ye Yuwei was.
Gu Juexi didn’t stop dialing Ye Yuwei’s number on his way to the hotel but no one picked up.
Gu Juexi drove his car at its maximum speed and began to blame himself. Nalan Chunbo was not around, he must have been mad for letting Ye Yuwei stay at the hotel alone.
What if something really happened to Ye Yuwei?
Gu Juexi looked at his phone that was still trying to connect him to Ye Yuwei. Realizing that he couldn’t afford to lose Ye Yuwei, he continued to drive at top speed.
The door to Ye Yuwei’s hotel room was wide open when Gu Juexi got there, and standing around the room were a bunch of police and some staff.
“Ye Yuwei,” Gu Juexi shouted as he shoved his way through the crowd.
