Pei Jiao silently got up from Wei Yu. In this situation, no matter what, it was better to run first!
Ignoring the pain in her teeth, she stopped patting the grass off her body and turned to leave. But before she could take two steps, she was grabbed by the back of her collar by a hand coming from behind.
Then, Wei Yu t s cold voice asked her from behind, “Where are you going?”
Pei Jiao gritted her teeth. She had been careless. After pretending for so long, she was used to being mute. Why had she exposed herself today? Pei Jiao shrank her neck, indicating for Wei Yu to let go first.
But now Wei Yu didn’t believe her. He grabbed the back of her collar and pulled her back. His strength caught her off guard. She fell back and leaned into his arms. Pei Jiao froze and even stopped breathing for dozens of seconds.
After a long while, she slowly turned her head.
Meeting Wei Yu’s almost burning eyes, her scalp tingled and a lump formed in her throat. Wei Yu finally let go, but he did not move away. He pressed her shoulder and turned her to face him. Pei Jiao laughed awkwardly and began to gesture. Because she was too guilty, her gestures were messy, making it impossible to tell what she was gesturing about.
Wei Yu lost his patience. “Speak.”
Pei Jiao swallowed and said slowly, “l… think I suddenly recovered.”
Wei Yu let out a mocking smile. “Suddenly recovered?”
Pei Jiao nodded.
Wei Yu specially described it. “Your vocal cords, which have been out of tune for a long time, suddenly recovered from the shock?”
Pei Jiao nodded again.
“You really have to hold out hope until you are faced with the grim reality.” Wei Yu grabbed Pei Jiao’s wrist, his eyes cold and threatening. “Since you’re unwilling to tell the truth, I’ll lock you up first. When you’re honest, you’ll answer.”
When Pei Jiao heard that Wei Yu wanted to lock her up, she immediately exploded. She struggled and tried to shake off Wei Yu’s hand. “What right do you have to lock me up? I’m not your prisoner. Besides, I didn’t do anything bad.’
At this moment, Ji He, who had finished washing his face, returned. He scooped up a handful of water from the nearby rockery pool to wash his face. When he returned, he saw his young master standing with the little mute.
At first glance, the two of them looked like a young couple holding hands. However, when Ji He took a closer look, he realized that Young Master’s expression was very bad, and that little mute did not seem to know her place.
He ran over. “Young Master, Young Master!”
Wei Yu turned to look at Ji He and said in a cold voice, ‘Did I tell you to keep an eye on her outside?”
Ji He’s hair stood on end. Without explaining, he lowered his head. “Young Master, it’s my fault.”
Pei Jiao felt the need to explain to Ji He. “He went to wash his face because he was hit by a persimmon. Why are you so fierce? 1 won’t run.” “Eh? Little Mute, you can speak?” Ji He was very surprised. Pei Jiao avoided his gaze, “Just now… 1 suddenly could speak.”
“Ha- I’ Wei Yu smirked and pulled Pei Jiao in front of him.
The two of them were extremely close. Pei Jiao sensed danger and moved her head back, staring at him warily.
Wei Yu’s eyes were as cold as before. “You still have the mood to intercede for others. Do you know what kind of situation you’re in now?”
Pei Jiao straightened her neck. “It’s nothing more than being detained here and not being free.”
Wei Yu had no choice but to remind Pei Jiao, “The base lost something very important, and you happened to be picked up by me, Coincidentally, you couldn’t speak because your vocal cords were damaged. Even when your vocal cords were healed, you continued to pretend to be mute. Without batting an eyelid, you were cleared of all suspicion. Look, is this reason enough to lock you up for interrogation?”
Pei Jiao felt a chill run down her spine. Previously, she did not think that Wei Yu was scary because he had always been very cold in front of her and ignored her. But at this moment, for the first time, Pei Jiao felt the danger coming from Wei Yue He didn’t seem to be just saying it, but he really could do what he said.
As long as there was life, there was hope. Pei Jiao was afraid that if she was really locked up, everything would be exposed. Hence, she immediately admitted defeat and said pitifully, “l was wrong.”
Wei Yu probably did not expect her to admit her mistake so quickly. He could not help but be stunned when he heard these three words.
Not only Wei Yu, but Ji He was also stunned. This little mute was like a small steel cannon all day long and looked fearless. Now, she was actually frightened by Young Master.
However, not many people dared to provoke Young Master’s dignity..
