Chapter 341
[Cheng Jie wanted to take over all of Old Master Bai’s assets and therefore he needed to get his hands on the will . If his name was stated in the will, he would inherit everything openly . If his name was not stated in the will, he would change it secretly . Thus, he wouldn’t let Bai Ying announce the will publicly .
Old Master Bai was someone loyal and his righteousness was known to all . His subordinates were also devoted to him and so Cheng Jie didn’t want to mess with them .
Bai Ying never mentioned the will so there was a possibility that it could be Cheng Jie’s name or that Bai Ying wanted to use the will for some other purpose . ]
He had the same thoughts .
Gu Juexi studied the information about Bai Ying but there was no photograph attached . It was said that no one knew what Bai Ying looked like to this day .
As Gu Juexi was reading the information, a second email came in .
[There is another puzzling matter . Bai Ying’s husband was a taboo in the Bai family . There were rumors that Ye Shu had once betrayed Bai Ying, thus driving Bai Ying to silence him personally . No one actually knows what happened . ]
Betrayal?
Gu Juexi turned to look at Ye Yuwei who was sleeping soundly in the bedroom . Could he believe that Ye Shu did not put them in danger?
But Bai Ying was her mother .
The phone in his coat vibrated . Gu Juexi took it and glanced at the caller’s name . He hesitated for a moment then answered the call .
“Gu, is Lao Bao in trouble?” Lu Qichuan’s anxious voice and muffled footsteps could be heard on the other end of the line .
Gu Juexi shut his laptop . “How did you know?”
“Damn, that means it’s true,” Lu Qichuan growled, and a car door closed in the background . “Gu, are we still friends?”
Gu Juexi leaned back against the chair and glanced at Ye Yuwei again before replying, “There’s something I need to talk to you about . We will settle the matter of Cheng Jie, I have an important task for you . ”
“What is it?” Lu Qichuan paused, realizing that Gu Juexi and Yu Jiangqing were executing a plan .
“I’ll let you know when it’s time . Just focus on your own issues . Don’t become the second Lao Bao . ” Gu Juexi frowned, looking troubled .
Lu Qichuan listened to Gu Juexi .
Gu Juexi had known Lao Bao’s personality would get him into trouble one day, so he had not involved Lao Bao in their affairs .
Lu Qichuan was different . He was less reckless and was thus Gu Juexi’s trump card .
Lu Qichuan had an additional responsibility now . His priority would be to protect Ye Yuwei .
“Gu, what are you planning?” Lu Qichuan stressed .
“Nothing, just remember what I told you . ” Gu Juexi ended the conversation abruptly .
Lu Qichuan tossed his phone onto the seat beside him and slammed the steering wheel in frustration .
The repeated sounds of a car horn honking echoed in the empty car park .
Lu Qichuan felt helpless because he did not know what Gu Juexi was planning .
Gu Juexi put his phone away and entered the bedroom .
Ye Yuwei was still deep in sleep, brows furrowed .
Gu Juexi lay down next to her, tracing her face with feather-light touches .
From the day they got married until the day she mentioned a divorce, his memories of her during the few years they were together were blank .
