Chapter 626: Chapter 629: I’m here, no fear.
He was silent for a long time, suppressing the cluttered thoughts in his mind, gradually restoring clarity.
He ruffled Ye Xingbei’s hair: “Don’t think too much about it right now. I’ll have someone look into it. If it’s true, we’ll find a way to get hold of the video first and then deal with those scumbags and Ye Tao. If it’s false, we’ll just take care of Ye Tao.”
Gradually, he calmed down and made up his mind.
He decided to continue being a good person. In his next life, he would again be born brilliant, just life, and then meet Ye Xiaobei once again.
If the scumbag Ye Tao was talking about does exist, it doesn’t matter if their crime is not death-worthy. In such case, he wouldn’t kill him; just make his life unbearable.
However, many ways to make someone’s life unbearable are not.
Using methods that neither break the law nor violate ethical morals to make a scumbag’s life unbearable is his specialty.
As he started to send a message to his subordinates, Ye Xingbei stopped him.
Ye Xingbei looked somewhat flustered; her hands which held him were cold and trembling: “Don’t…”
She was both flustered and embarrassed: “I, I don’t want anyone to know…”
If what Ye Tao said was true and Gu Chi found out about it, how could she face Gu Junzhu’s troops in the future?
As long as nobody knew, she could still pretend that nothing had happened.
If Gu Junzhu’s subordinates found out about it, she would never be able to face them normally in her entire life.
Every time she saw them, she would think of the video and feel utterly embarrassed.
“I was negligent,” Gu Junzhu put his phone away, holding onto her cold trembling hands, pulling her in for a reassuring hug and kiss: “It’s okay, don’t be afraid. I will figure something out. We won’t let anyone find out, don’t worry.”
Ye Xingbei bit her lip, calming herself, and said softly: “I want to get in touch with Brother Lan and ask him if there was anyone guarding outside when he locked me in the basement. If there was a guard, whether the guard knew who had visited me while I was unconscious. If the guard knows, then we can directly go find that person and retrieve the video.”
Gu Junzhu frowned: “Aren’t you afraid that Ye Xinglan will find out?”
Ye Xingbei thought for a while, then shook her head, “No, I’m not.”
She couldn’t understand her own feelings at this point.
She was particularly worried about Gu Junzhu’s men finding out, but she wasn’t afraid of Ye Xinglan finding out… Well, it wasn’t that she wasn’t afraid at all. If possible, she naturally wouldn’t want Ye Xinglan to know either. But if what Ye Tao said was true and they needed to catch that person, getting Ye Xinglan involved would significantly increase their chances of succeeding.
After all, Ye Xinglan was the one who knew the Ye Family best.
He knew the morals and behaviors of Ye Bingjun’s descendants best.
Looking at Ye Xingbei’s pale face and panicked eyes, it was at this moment that Gu Junzhu understood what it meant to be flustered out of concern.
He, who was always calm and strategic, suddenly lost his normal composure when faced with this version of Ye Xingbei.
He forced himself to calm down, sorted out the whole matter from beginning to end in his mind, confirmed that his decision was correct, and nodded: “Okay, let’s go find Ye Xinglan.”
The two changed their clothes, ready to go out.
After changing, Ye Xingbei suddenly thought of her son: “Where are Xiao Shu and Xiao Yue?”
When she had first come back, she was incredibly distraught and had even forgotten to ask about her precious son.
“Qiao Zui and Fang Yao took them out to play,” Gu Junzhu said. “You don’t have to worry about them. With Qiao Zui and Fang Yao there, they will be perfectly safe.”
