Jessica bit her lip, "You... you really won’t hurt Mr. Will?"
"I promise," Gan Yuan took a deep breath, "Starting today, our grudges are cleared!"
Jessica pondered for a few seconds, then pressed the gun against Will’s temple even harder.
"Bastard, listen to me, this time, I’m letting you go, next time, don’t give me another chance!"
She put away the gun and shoved Will away. A bodyguard immediately rushed over, helping Will by cutting the ropes behind him.
With the opposing side having overwhelming numbers, if a real conflict were to break out, Jessica couldn’t possibly make a getaway with Moses unscathed. To save Mr. Will, she chose to let Will off temporarily.
Anyway, there would be plenty of chances to kill him later!
Gan Yuan walked to Huangfu Jue’s side.
He put his arm around her shoulder. Huangfu Jue swept a glance at Moses’ room door, his gaze authoritatively scanning the faces of Jessica and the others before turning to walk towards the elevator, his right hand raised slightly in a wave.
Everyone understood and immediately holstered their guns and followed him to retreat.
Watching as everyone in the corridor left, Jessica finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank goodness, with Gaia here, otherwise... today would’ve been real trouble."
Paul nodded and immediately walked over to push open the door to Moses’ room, with Jessica quickly following.
"Sir!" Approaching Moses, Paul cautiously spoke, "Should we switch hotels?"
Just because Gan Yuan didn’t pursue it didn’t mean Huangfu Jue would easily let it go. For safety, Paul thought it was better to move to a different place.
"Yes, sir," Jessica echoed from the side.
Moses inhaled softly, "Do you think I’m too authoritarian?"
His sudden question surprised both Paul and Jessica. They exchanged glances, neither of them speaking.
"Why don’t you answer?" Moses turned around, his gaze passing over Paul and landing on Jessica, "You tell me."
"This..." Jessica puffed her cheeks, "I’ll be honest, please don’t scold me."
"Yes... a bit," she said quietly, glancing at his expression and offering a smile, "Of course, I mean sometimes. It’s not all bad, heh... I just think that you don’t like to discuss things with others, this way... Gaia could easily misunderstand you."
"Yes!" Paul gathered his courage, "At the time, there was a killer attack downstairs. If we take the child away at this time, she’s sure to misunderstand that the killer was your arrangement?"
"Killer?" Jessica turned her face in surprise, "Who?"
At the time, she was so focused on her confrontation with Will upstairs that she hadn’t known what happened below, only hearing the gunshots. Now she was just finding out that an accident had occurred.
"Huangfu Jue!" said Paul.
"No wonder!" an enlightened Jessica blurted out, "I was wondering why Gaia was so angry. Actually, I can tell, she has deep feelings for Huangfu Jue..."
Realizing her slip of the tongue, she hurriedly shut her mouth.
Moses’ face remained calm as if he wasn’t upset by the comment.
"Switch to a safer place, then, and find out about that killer."
Both Paul and Jessica let out a sigh of relief and set out to handle their tasks separately – Paul to make living arrangements and Jessica to drive out for information.
Moses returned to the guest room, his right hand reaching into his pocket and fiddling with the two coins in his hands.
Had he really been wrong?
