It was a mere ten seconds, not a long moment but not a short one either.
Gu Juexi halted in the middle, his eyes fixed on the blurry silhouette.
“Is it Ye Shu?” Gu Juexi tilted his head up and questioned.
Just hearing that name made Ye Yuwei tense up unconsciously.
However, Yu Jiangqing shook his head. “It doesn’t feel like him. When I saw Ye Shu six years back, he was very skinny,” he said while peering at Ye Yuwei, who lowered her gaze as if trying to avoid any suspicion from him.
Upon hearing the reply, Ye Yuwei naturally breathed a sigh of relief.
Although her sigh was nearly inaudible, those who were present were from the special forces and no lies could get past them.
“This person left after confirming your life wasn’t in danger; clearly he doesn’t want you dead. Whoever he is, I don’t think he’s an enemy,” Yu Jiangqing spoke up again.
“Could it be someone who wanted revenge on the Bai family? That’s why he manipulated Gu Juexi.” Lu Qichuan proposed an idea.
“That’s not really possible. If he could manipulate Gu Juexi, then taking down the Bai Family wouldn’t be a problem for him.” It took less than a minute for Yu Jiangching to shoot down his assumption.
“So are you saying that Gu Juexi isn’t stronger than that guy?” Song Helian who was quiet the whole time finally spoke up.
Yet that one question made Yu Jiangqing wish that choking him to death was an acceptable action.
With his head lifted and a cold stare thrown at Song Helian, Gu Juexi uttered, “Make some time to visit the cemetery.”
It was time for him to give an explanation to his brothers.
Lu Qichuan’s gaze dropped slightly, his mouth sewn shut.
Everything that they owed their comrades were eventually sent back, but their brothers, they would never return anymore.
Ye Yuwei held Gu Juexi’s hand in hers, knowing what kind of emotions rippled through him.
Decades of vengeance were finally, thoroughly paid back.
Before returning the phone to Yu Jiangqing, Gu Juexi made Ye Yuwei copy the video.
Lu Qichuan’s stare fixated on Ye Yuwei for a few moments, but he quickly tore his gaze away.
Awkwardness floated in the atmosphere.
“About Mistress Bai—” Seemingly remembering something, Lu Qichuan broke the uncomfortable silence.
Ye Yuwei’s eyes were glued to the ground again. Her mother had never visited B City again since they parted last time, said that she wanted to live in the fishing village her father mentioned in the past. She disallowed anyone to follow her, even her daughter was forbidden to do so.
Perhaps in Mother’s world, Father was long gone so she wanted to preserve and live in the place Father once told her.
“I still need to thank you. If it weren’t for you, my mother wouldn’t have escaped from this easily,” Ye Yuwei said genuinely.
Yu Jiangqing shrugged the gratitude away and commented nonchalantly, “It’s all thanks to Gu Juexi, I can’t take the credit.”
Ye Yuwei darted her eyes towards said man, only to see his face clouded by something similar to displeasure.
He had just pulled a long face! This Gu Juexi was still the same Gu Juexi as before.
“If there’s nothing else then all of you can get lost.” Gu Juexi hated when there was an audience that would take up all his time with Ye Yuwei.
Ye Yuwei was speechless.
Telling people to get lost just as he liked, did he suppose people were the same as armadillos—just like him—to coil up and roll away?
However, it was likely that the three of them understood Gu Juexi well enough to calmly leave after bidding goodbye to Ye Yuwei without getting mad.
Ye Yuwei waited until they disappeared then swung her head around. “Brother Lu has a daughter, and Yu Jiangqing should be at that age as well, shouldn’t he get married?”
“Who told you he isn’t married?” Gu Juexi scoffed at his wife, his sulky expression fading.
