Gu Juexi piggybacked Ye Yuwei as they continued their journey. Ye Yuwei made several attempts to walk on her own but they were immediately shot down because she was barefooted.
“Wait a minute!” She blurted out as a sudden thought struck her. “Did you see Aunt Gu?”
Aunt Gu?
Gu Juexi paused upon hearing the question. He had never thought about her, obviously.
Recollecting the timeframe of the incident, it seemed like the woman had disappeared during the first gunfight.
They were in the middle of the ocean though, how did the woman just disappear into thin air?
Gu Juexi and Ye Yuwei exchanged curious glances.
None of them had paid attention to Aunt Gu, so how did she disappear from the ship?
“Did you offend anybody else?” Ye Yuwei asked hesitantly but shook her head in disbelief after asking the question.
Was she crazy?
How could he not offend anybody else? He was great at making enemies.
Gu Juexi watched his wife’s expression shift from curiosity to annoyance and smiled. He had such a cute wife.
“Not entirely so. Since Aunt Gu said Wen Lan had harmed her before, so it was possible she wanted to eliminate Wen Lan with a borrowed knife: our knife,” Gu Juexi remarked as he pondered. It was one of the possibilities anyway.
Ye Yuwei recalled hearing Aunt Gu mention something about Wen Lan owing her a favor and confirmed the plausibility of this idea.
“But how did she leave the ship?” Ye Yuwei was curious. They had been in the middle of the ocean and there was nothing around them, not even a boat. “Did she grow wings and fly away?”
Gu Juexi laughed again. “To heaven?”
“I just hope she doesn’t target you,” Ye Yuwei sighed. She covered his mouth as his laughter grew louder and complained, “What are you laughing at? I’m just worried I’ll be caught in the crossfire.”
Suddenly, Gu Juexi’s smile disappeared and his body stiffened. Ye Yuwei was confused by his sudden shift of expression. Before she could turn around to look, Gu Juexi quickly pressed her head to his shoulder.
Gu Juexi saw a brown bear not too far from them, and the brown bear spotted them too.
Growl!
The brown bear was slowly heading their way with its bulky body.
Holding Ye Yuwei tightly, Gu Juexi retreated a few steps as he whispered, “Looks like we hit the jackpot, we bumped into the big guy.”
Ye Yuwei trembled in fear when she heard its loud growl. What kind of jackpot was this, she didn’t want it at all!
The brown bear growled as it approached them. Gu Juexi put Ye Yuwei down under a tree and gave her a small army knife. He pulled out his slingshot and focused entirely on the brown bear.
Ye Yuwei gripped the knife tightly as she held onto the tree behind her. There was absolutely no trace of fear on Gu Juexi’s face.
What was he made of?
The small poisonous arrows Gu Juexi had made earlier were not applicable in this situation as brown bears had thick skin and fur. He picked up some rocks to divert the bear’s attention, or at least to lure him further away from Ye Yuwei.
Despite its enormous size, the bear was very fast. Gu Juexi slowed down to make sure the bear was following him and not going for Ye Yuwei.
