“I don’t think I have time for you if you didn’t make an appointment,” Ye Yuwei said emotionlessly and walked past Gu Tianxin.
“I will go to Gu Juexi if you don’t talk to me today, Ye Yuwei,” Gu Tianxin said, her face ashen.
Ye Yuwei looked at her and noticed her face that was indeed quite pale, probably because of Aunt Gu’s death.
Gu Tianxin showed her handphone to Ye Yuwei when she turned towards her, and the video playing on her phone was the video of Aunt Gu being murdered. To her surprise, the murderer who turned to face the camera was…
Ye Yuwei widened her eyes. How could it be?
“Would you rather me go to Gu Juexi now?” Gu Tianxi asked quietly, putting her handphone away.
“Can you handle the financing cases in the morning? Don’t let anyone come into my office,” Ye Yuwei told Juanzi, her hands clenched into fists.
Juanzi nodded and watched Ye Yuwei and the woman enter the office together.
“We only have plain water here,” Ye Yuwei gestured for Gu Tianxin to take a seat and got her a cup of water from the water dispenser.
Gu Tianxin continued to look around even after sitting down.
“Stop worrying. You will be safe here,” Ye Yuwei said and sat down in front of Gu Tianxin.
“Can you send me the video?” asked Ye Yuwei.
Gu Tianxin was holding the cup. Her face looked calm, but the rippling water in her cup sold her out. “Gu Tianmu killed my mother.”
“It wasn’t Gu Tianmu,” said Ye Yuwei. “And you know it wasn’t him, or you wouldn’t have come to me.”
“But who is he, and is he going to kill me?” Gu Tianxin took a deep breath and looked at Ye Yuwei, her voice high-pitched with fear.
“Why did you come to me then? Why not Gu Juexi?” Ye Yuwei finally looked at the woman who was slowly losing her composure.
“No. Gu Juexi is not going to help me. He will not help me,” Gu Tianxin shrieked uncontrollably, because she knew that Gu Juexi would not help her after what she did to get a share in his inheritance.
“Why come to me then? What could I possibly do for you?” Ye Yuwei asked as she watched Gu Tianxin who was trembling so much that water spilled out of her cup.
“Gu Juexi listens to you, I know he does. I am sure you wouldn’t want this video to go viral?” Gu Tianxin demanded agitatedly.
“How do you know that he is going to kill you? He killed your mother because she got in his way. There is no way that he would kill you if you have nothing to do with it.” Ye Yuwei squinted at Gu Tianxin’s handphone.
“He is going to kill me, I know he is,” Gu Tianxin stammered and showed Ye Yuwei a picture on her phone. It was a picture of a safe.
Ye Yuwei fell silent.
“This is my mother’s safe. I knew this was what he wanted.”
Ye Yuwei unconsciously slumped when she heard what Gu Tianxin said, but quickly controlled her emotions and leaned back against her chair.
“What could be in Aunt Gu’s safe other than money and jewellery? The fortune belonged to the Gu Family anyway. Why not just give them all to the man and save yourself—”
“It’s not the money,” Gu Tianxin screamed before Ye Yuwei could finish.
“I can hardly protect myself let alone protect you. As for asking Gu Juexi to protect you, do you think it is possible? You know much he hates Gu Tianmu,” Ye Yuwei continued though she had already gotten what she wanted from Gu Tianxin.
