“It’s him!” Gu Xiukai gritted his teeth, “Seeing you standing here safe and sound, you must know he poisoned you. Let me guess, Ye Ziyu is probably with him right now too?”
Facing the rhetorical question, Di Mingjue frowned, “What else do you know?”
“Don’t get your hopes up too high, I don’t know where he went,” Gu Xiukai said with a smile, staggering to his feet.
Seeing him finish eating and then act as if he didn’t recognize anyone, Ye Chenhan, who had cooked the noodles for him, wasn’t going to let him continue this act of biting the hand that fed him. “We’re not done asking, where are you planning to go?”
Gu Xiukai turned back to him with an annoyed expression, “What? I’ve already said I don’t know, what else do you, Fourth Master, want to ask?”
“What else is there to ask? Don’t you know in your heart?” Ye Chenhan walked up to him, forcing him to stop from moving forward.
They were standing in the Gu residence. As the master of the Gu residence, was he really going to be cornered by them?
Gu Xiukai sidestepped Ye Chenhan and calmly sat down on the sofa. He crossed his legs, tilted his chin up with a placid expression, and looked at them, “Go ahead, let me see if I know what you’re talking about.”
He said he was cooperating, but his perfunctory attitude was almost overflowing.
Ye Chenhan walked in front of him and kicked his calf. “Understand your current situation. If Gu Xiuyu finds out that we rescued you from the warehouse, do you think he’ll send someone after you again?”
Gu Xiukai paid no attention to his threat. Gu Xiuyu was too busy trying to please Ye Ziyu to care about his affairs.
Gu Xiuyu lowered his feet from the edge of the coffee table and replied to Ye Chenhan with a chuckle, “If he really sends someone to assassinate me, it would probably be most beneficial to you, and what you desire most in your hearts. After all, even the police don’t know where Gu Xiuyu took Miss Ye right now.”
As his words fell, Gu Xiukai’s gaze, like that of an onlooker, landed on the troubled Di Mingjue’s face. “But don’t get your hopes up too high. From what I know of Gu Xiuyu, all his energy should be focused on Ye Ziyu right now. As for me, he won’t come back to see if I’m dead or alive.”
Hearing his words, Ye Chenhan, already vexed by his inability to contact Ye Ziyu, couldn’t stand his annoying demeanor and punched him in the cheek.
Pressing his tongue against his sore cheek, Gu Xiukai touched the spot Ye Chenhan had hit. “Even if you beat me to death here, the situation remains the same. I’d advise you to put less hope in me. Instead of telling me impossible things here, it would be better to find clues as quickly as possible. Perhaps by finding them, Miss Ye won’t betray General Di.”
After saying this, he let out a harsh, unpleasant laugh.
The betrayal he spoke of would never happen with Di Mingjue. He believed in Ye Ziyu’s feelings for him, and more so in her ability to discern people. Ye Ziyu would never feel any goodwill towards Gu Xiuyu after what he had done.
In contrast to Di Mingjue’s calmness, Ye Chenhan’s temper was not so easily controlled. He grabbed Gu Xiukai by the collar and, with forceful strength, lifted him from the sofa. “Damn it, say that one more time if you dare!”
Gu Xiukai laughed wantonly, showing no fear.
This laugh sent the already angry Ye Chenhan into a complete rage.
“Chenhan, let go!” Di Mingjue commanded from the side.
“He’s an obnoxious pig, he deserves to be beaten.” Ye Chenhan still held on, refusing to let go.
