Wen Chenghao waved his hand at his subordinate and said, “Even though Gu Juexi is not physically with her now, he has his eyes on her so don’t do anything stupid. We’ll leave tonight.”
The man nodded.
“I don’t even have to do it myself; Gu Tianmu will definitely go after her. When father and son make enough enemies, the Gu family will fall from grace,” Wen Chenghao murmured wickedly. Gu Tianmu’s attitude made him a complete psycho.
He would not let Ye Yuwei get away with this.
Nalan Chunbo and Ye Yuwei were self-proclaimed fugitives who were trying to run away from Gu Tianmu. America was a strange place for Ye Yuwei. Nalan Chunbo was equally lost in this place as he was in Country X all this time.
“Are we considered street wanderers now?” Ye Yuwei stayed behind Nalan Chunbo, eyeing her surroundings warily.
Nalan Chunbo patted Ye Yuwei’s shoulder gently and said, “We are far from it. Let’s go, I’ll take you somewhere.”
Ye Yuwei nodded. She only had her brother with her now.
The moment they stepped foot in this place, she and Gu Juexi were forcibly separated into two different worlds.
Nalan Chunbo crossed the street with her hand in his. He said as he walked, “You should know by now that in this world, the person who loves you the most is your brother; no other man can be trusted.”
“Brother, you should know that you caused all this.” Unable to stop herself, she blurted out the harsh truth.
Nalan Chunbo was stunned, and his expression instantly turned sulky.
He was simply following his uncle’s instructions, but now it seemed that everything had completely gotten out of hand.
Or maybe it was going as planned, but he was not in-charge now.
Ye Yuwei turned her concerned gaze on Nalan Chunbo, gripped his hand and said, “Brother, no matter what Aunt did, I believe her love for you was sincere and true.”
“I’m not a child— you don’t have to comfort me like one,” Nalan Chunbo said, smiling awkwardly. He squeezed Ye Yuwei’s hand and crossed the street, scanning their surroundings cautiously. They sprinted towards a dark alley and were relieved to find that there was nobody blocking or attacking them.
Nalan Chunbo scanned the surrounding area again to ensure that no one was coming their way.
Here, the only person who could stop Gu Tianmu was Gu Juexi.
By this time, the sun had slowly crept down the horizon. Gripping Nalan Chunbo’s arm tightly, Ye Yuwei looked around anxiously too. She would be lying if she said she was not scared. She did not want to die now.
Nalan Chunbo returned his gaze to Ye Yuwei and urged gently, “Let’s go, it’s just out front.”
No matter what Gu Juexi did or could do, he would never put in a good word for him.
Before they could move, a car stopped abruptly in front of them. Instinctively, Nalan Chunbo tugged Ye Yuwei behind him. The car window rolled down; it was Qiao Yi.
“Uncle Qiao!”
“Get in,” Qiao Yi instructed, gesturing for them to get into the car.
Nalan Chunbo pushed Ye Yuwei into the car and got in afterward. Surprised, he asked, “Uncle Qiao, why are you here?”
“Wen Chenghao will leave America by boat tonight,” Qiao Yi stated, ignoring Nalan Chunbo’s question.
“He can’t leave,” Ye Yuwei cried out suddenly, “He knows that Wen Lan is still alive and surely knows where she is; he can’t go.”
Her tone was anxious and jittery. She leaned forward slightly and repeated, “Uncle Qiao, he must not leave.”
“But we don’t know which harbor he will be at. This city alone has nine harbors, it’s impossible to go to each one of them even if we split three ways,” Qiao Yi grumbled, frowning deeply.
“Gu Juexi can find it!” Ye Yuwei blurted out.
