The patriarchs always spoke the least and that made it difficult for Gu Juexi to detect anything from the conversation. Besides, Nalan Chunbo couldn’t be seen leading the patriarchs or it would make him look suspicious. Other than eliminating the second patriarch, Gu Juexi didn’t actually get many clues about the other patriarchs.
The helicopter landed on the landing apron at around 6pm.
Gu Juexi heard the voice that he heard earlier in the first patriarch’s study, “Bring two others and come with me to the landing apron, Yan Feng.”
Yan Feng worked for Bai Ying so they were probably certain that he wouldn’t do any harm to the young mistress.
Gu Juexi lowered his gaze and pointed at two of the bodyguards beside him, then followed that man together with Jack and Tam, six of them in total.
They had to go through several barriers before leaving the fortress. Their group headed to the landing apron and the first thing that came into Gu Juexi’s view was Ye Yuwei alighting from the helicopter.
She was wearing a white dress and her hair blew in the wind.
Who said Ye Yuwei was not beautiful?
“Don’t touch me, who are you?” Ye Yuwei’s elegant image disappeared the second she snarled at someone in protest.
Gu Juexi knew that she was just acting and admired her skills silently.
Their leader approached her and bowed slightly when Ye Yuwei alighted from the helicopter. “We are sorry for bringing you here by surprise, Miss Ye.”
Ye Yuwei looked at the man standing in front of her and frowned.
“Your past might have something to do with our mistress, so we might have to trouble you to assist us with the verification. We will arrange to send Miss Ye back if you are proven to have nothing to do with our mistress,” said the man smoothly, respect in his tone.
Ye Yuwei’s frown deepened. Were all bad guys so polite? She had imagined seeing terrifying and well-built men with faces full of scars, but though the man standing in front of her was not good looking, she couldn’t deny that he was somewhat elegant.
A shiver ran up Ye Yuwei’s spine as she checked out the man in front of her. She could feel someone staring at her, and it felt exactly like when Gu Juexi stared at her.
Ye Yuwei looked up and saw ‘Yan Feng’ looking at her. He looked at her so coldly that it gave her shivers.
Did she know the man?
“Bring the young miss to the mistress’ place since she is already here, Yan Feng. Mistress and the patriarchs will see her there after the meeting,” said the leader.
“Yes,” replied Gu Juexi who had stopped staring at Ye Yuwei and lowered his gaze.
“Please follow him, Miss Ye. Forgive us if we have been offensive,” said the man politely as he stepped aside to let Ye Yuwei pass.
Ye Yuwei looked at the group of bodyguards defensively and stepped closer to Gu Juexi unconsciously.
Gu Juexi stepped back to make space for Ye Yuwei and glanced at her often from the corner of his eye. Stupid woman, did she not know how dangerous it was? How was she not scared?
The way Gu Juexi stepped back to make space for Ye Yuwei made her notice something, and it eased her mind. She peeked at Gu Juexi subtly then walked towards the fortress.
Never mind if he didn’t want her to go near him. She had come to him anyway, and he could try to chase her away all he wanted.
“You’ve got the wrong person. I am not the daughter of your mistress,” said Ye Yuwei as she stared at the man beside her.
