Gu Juexi’s frown deepened at Ye Yuwei’s question. It was not because Ye Yuwei blamed this incident on him, but because it was more likely that it was his foes’ wrongdoings instead of hers.
“Unlikely. There are rules in the circle. This is not their style, they would not stoop so low so as to threaten your life just to give me a warning as it would only provoke me to attack them. I’ve quit now and they want to keep me out, so I don’t think they are foolish enough to try to bring me back.” Gu Juexi analyzed the matter rationally.
Everyone in the circle knew that after Cheng Jie’s incident, Gu Juexi no longer interfered with their business. Even the Bai family’s incident had purely been his personal grudge. No one in their right mind would threaten Ye Yuwei right now unless they had a death wish.
Ye Yuwei listened to Gu Juexi’s analysis and pondered the circumstances. If it wasn’t one of his enemies, she couldn’t think of anyone who would do this to her.
“Come on, Gu Juexi, how many enemies have you made? Can you please leave Yezi out of this?” Xiao Yaojing growled anxiously.
Gu Juexi looked at Xiao Yaojing but said nothing.
Ye Yuwei got to her feet and gripped Xiao Yaojing’s hands. “I’m fine now, aren’t you going to fetch PA Wen from work? Go now.”
The warm smile on Ye Yuwei’s face melted her friend’s anxiety. Xiao Yaojing nodded at her suggestion and left.
After sending Xiao Yaojing off, Gu Juexi held Ye Yuwei in his embrace and hugged her tightly.
When he received Xiao Yaojing’s call earlier, his hands were trembling. He was afraid that the incident on the cruise ship would happen again, that he might lose her again.
His arms curled around her as he hugged her, and his embrace was so tight she found it hard to breathe.
His ragged breathing against her ear spoke volumes of his worry and fear, and Ye Yuwei realized the sincerity and genuine love this man had for her.
She would not have any doubts again from this moment on.
Gu Juexi’s phone beeped. It was an incoming email notification of the video retrieved from the hotel’s CCTV. Gu Juexi used Ye Yuwei’s computer to log in to his email and checked the video on the third floor of the building. The window where the flower pots had been placed was closed, and it remained closed until the pot was dropped.
“Impossible, the window was open when I looked up.” Meanwhile, in the video, the window was closed throughout the timeframe.
“The middle section of this video was deleted,” Gu Juexi said as he ran his fingers on the keyboard.
It seemed that they were dealing with someone very skillful.
No average Joe could easily hack into the hotel’s security system and delete a portion of the CCTV footage.
Moreover, policemen were patrolling nearby the area on the third floor, and a familiar shadow was lurking at the area: Qian Yikun!
Hence, they concluded that the person was not trying to kill Ye Yuwei, but give her a warning.
A lot of thoughts were circulating in Gu Juexi’s mind. He looked up at Ye Yuwei who stood beside him, frowning. “During those years in Country X, did you offend anyone?”
Offend anyone?
It was impossible not to make enemies in the business industry, but she had left Country X ages ago so wasn’t it too late for those people to retaliate against her right now?
Ye Yuwei shook her head. “No.”
“What about Nalan Chunbo?”
Ye Yuwei shook her head again. “Impossible.”
Nalan Chunbo had built a good reputation in the business industry based on his humility and modesty, so it was very unlikely for him to make a foe.
Ye Yuwei was deep in thought, reminiscing about the past. She stared at Gu Juexi, pursing her lips.
Gu Juexi raised an eyebrow curiously.
“Don’t you think you are more likely to have enemies than me?” Ye Yuwei mocked coldly.
