“Gu Juexi, I have the right to know!” There was a fierce determination in Ye Yuwei’s eyes. She had been doubtful and hesitant earlier, but now she was certain of her decision. She had to go and see Wen Chenghao herself.

“I will give you the answer, but you have to return to B City now. Lu Qichuan and the others are there. I’ll feel better if you go back.” Gu Juexi rested his hands on her shoulders. “Wen Chenghao has three bodyguards around him whose abilities surpass Mo Fei. Weiwei, the whole world knows that you, Ye Yuwei, are Gu Juexi’s weakness.”

Ye Yuwei bit her lower lip unhappily until it started to hurt.

“Since you think you’ll feel better if I’m gone, why are you here now?” Ye Yuwei demanded spitefully. “You can just have someone drag me away forcibly, why are you here?”

Gu Juexi’s eyes filled with anguish at her words.

Why did he come? Because he was worried about her.

“Are you sure you will be relieved if I’m gone?” Ye Yuwei repeated, despair and desperation threading her voice.

Ye Yuwei was waiting for his answer. If he said yes, she would leave.

“Gu Juexi, both of us are innocent in this matter. You deserve to know what had happened, and so do I. Your father placed a bounty on my head. I almost died and am running away from people who are trying to kill me for the reward, so don’t you think I deserve to know the truth too?” Ye Yuwei continued. She composed herself, retaining her rational and reasonable mind.

“If Wen Chenghao decides to fight, how will you protect yourself?” Gu Juexi tightened his grip on Ye Yuwei’s shoulders. Something was unsettling his emotions.

Truthfully, the fact she couldn’t protect herself was an advantage for Wen Chenghao and Gu Juexi’s Achilles heel.

Ye Yuwei could not deny it.

Gu Juexi pulled her into his embrace and whispered tenderly, “I’ll make it quick. I’ll go back five hours after you, then I’ll tell you everything. No matter what they did or what happened back then, I’ll give you the truth.”

Ye Yuwei shivered nervously, but did not hug him back.

He did not say anything about them not being involved. He was concerned about it after all.

Ye Yuwei eventually decided to compromise. She could not insist on getting the answer herself after what he had said.

“I’ll take you to the heliport,” Gu Juexi said and kissed her forehead lovingly. “I’ll be back soon, I promise.”

Ye Yuwei remained quiet and nodded halfheartedly.

Gu Juexi personally drove Ye Yuwei to the heliport where Mo Fei had parked her helicopter and then sent her to it.

Mo Fei leaned against the door and stared at the man who was descending from the helicopter. “She obviously doesn’t want to leave, yet you send her away against her will.”

“It’s none of your business,” Gu Juexi chided roughly.

Mo Fei laughed wickedly and sneered, “Are you hoping your wife will be gone when you’re back?” Mo Fei threatened. She opened the cockpit door, entered, and slammed the door shut.

Gu Juexi took a few steps back and watched the helicopter fly away. He turned away, looking determined. He was going to settle this matter that should have been solved decades ago.

Gu Juexi missed the hint of disappointment in Qiao Yi’s eyes when he turned to go.

It was a disappointment in Gu Juexi, which implied disappointment in Ye Yuwei too.

“Uncle Qiao, we too have to go now,” Nalan Chunbo urged as he looked at Qiao Yi.

“I’m afraid your uncle will be very disappointed.” Qiao Yi turned around and walked away.
