“I’m right, aren’t I? That’s why you’re pissed,” Ye Yuwei sneered tauntingly as Nalan Chunbo helped her up from the floor. “You and Gu Juexi are the same; both of you are just ignorant and self-deceptive cowards!”
Suddenly, Gu Tianmu pulled a gun out and aimed it at Ye Yuwei. His fingers were wrapped around the trigger so tightly it seemed like even the slightest movement would cause the gun to fire.
“Do you honestly think that you can prove your love to Mother by killing me?” Ye Yuwei provoked as she slowly walked toward Gu Tianmu. “Then do it! Do it right here and now!”
Gu Tianmu locked his gaze on Ye Yuwei and tightened his grip. “How I feel is my business, but you and the rest of the Ye family must die!”
The sound of gunfire pierced the air. Nalan Chunbo embraced Ye Yuwei and pulled her aside quickly.
Gu Tianmu stood like a statue, his face turning pale.
“I warned you; I wouldn’t let you go if you laid a finger on her,” a voice echoed from behind him. A man approached him, revealing himself as he slowly lowered the gun in his hand.
“This time, it’s your arm as a warning. If you dare touch her again, I wouldn’t mind killing my own father.” Gu Juexi stood before Gu Tianmu, his cold glare moving to his father’s bloody arm. “You know better than me who the real culprit behind all this is. Don’t you dare release your anger and hatred at Ye Yuwei just because you don’t dare to face the truth. I will not allow it.”
Gu Tianmu forgot the bullet in his arm for a moment. He stared at Gu Juexi and asked in disbelief, “What do you mean?”
“Wen Lan is still alive. The woman who you love so much is still alive,” Gu Juexi declared, smirking. “Do I have to spell it out for you?”
Gu Juexi looked in the direction where Ye Yuwei had disappeared.
That dum-dum, why would she put everything on the line like that?
Right now, not only Gu Tianmu but Wen Chenghao had his sights on her. He had to hurry and find all the people behind this.
Ye Yuwei was harmless. As long as he kept himself away from Ye Yuwei, the people responsible for this would aim their target on him.
At least, for now, this was safer for Ye Yuwei.
“Right now, killing Ye Yuwei is not your priority. You need to go and find Wen Chenghao,” Gu Juexi said quietly, turning around to look at his father. “I believe this job will be a piece of cake for you.”
Wen Chenghao.
Color seeped back into Gu Tianmu’s pale face, and his eyes turned cold.
Nalan Chunbo held onto Ye Yuwei tightly and they only slowed down after they reached the corner of a building. Ye Yuwei was panting exhaustively, her cheek burning from the slap earlier.
Nalan Chunbo checked her face anxiously and grumbled, “Why did you babble so much to him?”
“He would kill me either way. Since I was already at gunpoint, shouldn’t I be given my final words?” Ye Yuwei protested. Her cheek was so painful, it hurt when she talked.
Nalan Chunbo sighed and hugged her tenderly. He was furious with Gu Juexi; he swore he would never hand his sister over to a guy like him again.
At an unnamed villa, two bodyguards in black stood in front of the main door, their surroundings somewhat bleak and desolate.
“Master Wen, Young Master went to Gu Tianmu, he was not by the woman’s side,” the underling reported.
Despite at the age of eighty-five, Wen Chenghao looked very fresh and energetic. A satisfied smile appeared on his face when he heard his underling’s report.
‘That’s my boy,’ Wen Chenghao thought silently. He was proud of his grandson for being wise and smart. How could he give up finding justice for his mother because of some woman?
“What is the update of the preparation?” Wen Chenghao asked.
“The ship will leave at midnight tonight,” the underling answered. “What about Ye Yuwei? Shall we—” he continued, mimicking a motion of cutting his throat.
