The moonlight outside shone brightly. Gu Juexi carefully placed the sleeping Ye Yuwei on the bed. From now onwards, he no longer wanted to be involved in this. No matter what Ye Shu was trying to find out, he would have no part in it.
A hotel in the States.
In the quiet hotel room, Nalan Chunbo has his hands on his waist, next to his leg was the stool that he had toppled moments ago. The old man had escaped!
Qiao Yi was leaning in the doorway playing with his handphone.
“Yuwei is working on her visa, I think Gu Juexi might be coming here soon.”
“It doesn’t matter who’s coming, they will all pay the price of mistreating my mother.” Nalan Chunbo curled his fingers into a fist. His eyes were filled with hatred.
Qiao Yi wanted to say something nice but after contemplating, he stood up and said, “Your uncle’s intentions in letting you handle this case was to allow Gu Juexi to provide you with an answer. Gu Juexi led you down the path to look for Wen Chenghao, and he must definitely have his reasons. Why don’t you wait for Gu Juexi before continuing?”
“The only thing that I am confident about is the fact that that old woman killed my mother.” Greenish veins popped up on the back of Nalan Chunbo’s hands. “Why am I not allowed to kill her?”
“Well, you can… But I don’t think now’s the right time,” Qiao Yi replied and put his handphone away before turning around to leave.
“As for what your uncle said, he definitely has his reasons so for now, revenge can wait.”
Nalan Chunbo saw Qiao Yi open the door and bellowed, “Then where in the world is my uncle?”
Qiao Yi turned his head, one of his hands holding the door open.
“After the truth is unveiled, you’ll know..”
After the door closed behind him, Nalan Chunbo kicked the stool with all his might. Suddenly, his phone rang.
Nalan Chunbo took out his phone and identified the caller. He calmed himself and collected his thoughts before answering the phone. “Wei Wei, is everything alright?”
Although he couldn’t see her face, her voice was still as soothing as ever.
“Big brother, are you still in America?” Ye Yuwei asked in a soft and timid tone.
“Yes… I’m here for work. I was just about to do some work. What’s wrong? It sounds like something has happened. Why, did Gu Juexi bully you again?” Nalan Chunbo asked in concern.
“Big brother, I’ll be heading to America tomorrow, can you come fetch me at the airport?” Instead of answering his question, Ye Yuwei just changed the topic.
“Sure. Send me the flight details later, I’ll fetch you from the airport.” Nalan Chunbo said happily.
Ye Yuwei opened her mouth, about to say something, but decided to just reply with one word. “Alright.”
Ye Yuwei decided to end the call with Nalan Chunbo. She looked at Gu Juexi and stammered, “I… I can’t say it.”
Gu Juexi reached out to gently stroke her hair. Nalan Chunbo was her brother by blood, it wasn’t going to be easy for him to accept it too.
“Nalan Chunbo didn’t talk about my maternal grandfather’s case, so I guess it could only mean that he has yet to find him… It seems to be that he might have gone off the radar.” Gu Juexi mentioned with a deepened voice.
“What should we do now?” Ye Yuwei immediately looked at Gu Juexi.
“Your maternal grandfather was helping Wen Lan hide something… But what was it? Was that the reason why Wen Lan decided to hurt my mom? What else? Was Wen Lan also related to Aunty’s case?” Gu Juexi shook his head. He too wasn’t sure of what was happening. When Ye Di got into the accident, Wen Lan had been dead for two years. There seemed to be nothing linking Wen Lan to those incidents at all.
“Everything will be clear once we go to America.” Gu Juexi said solemnly. They knew that once they were in America, they would be able to find the missing link.
