“Mom!” Ye Yuwei cried out. Before Mo Fei could grab her, she leaped forward from behind the curtains.

Mo Fei heaved a sigh and smacked her forehead. It was not Qian Yikun she had to worry about now but Gu Juexi. She wondered if she would be able to get off this ship alive.

Ye Yuwei’s mind went berserk when Wen Jie was grabbed by Wen Lan. There was no time for her to ponder the consequences of revealing herself.

The moment Ye Yuwei appeared, Gu Juexi rushed to an ideal position so that she was in his protection range.

Ye Yuwei staggered as she was pulled back by Gu Juexi. When she regained her focus, she realized Gu Juexi was shielding her.

Wen Lan grimaced when she saw Ye Yuwei and growled, “Gu Juexi, your mother’s tragic life is because of that slut’s aunt, why are you protecting her?”

Gu Tianmu rushed to where Wen Jie was being held hostage. He stared at the gun Wen Lan was holding, his mouth dry.

“Wen Lan, let go of her,” Gu Tianmu warned menacingly.

“Gu Tianmu, have you forgotten all those promises you made to me? Why? Why did you fall in love with her?” The shrill cry shocked the people in the cabin hall.

Ye Yuwei and Gu Juexi both resisted the urge to step forward in case Wen Lan suddenly fired the gun.

On the other hand, Nalan Chunbo locked his gaze on Wen Chenghao. He watched him frantically ordering his men to arrange a helicopter for their escape.

“I have never promised you anything,” Gu Tianmu spoke quietly, but the coldness in his tone was terrifying.

Ye Yuwei and Gu Juexi exchanged glances in confusion. What happened to true love?

Was that all a lie?

Wen Lan refused to listen and persisted, “No! You love me! Tianmu, you love me. You promised that we would get married after you finished your studies, you promised!”

Ye Yuwei and Gu Juexi looked at Gu Tianmu curiously. When a man gave such promises to a woman, it most likely meant that they had feelings for each other.

“It didn’t matter who I married. I just didn’t bother to object when you said it, that’s all,” Gu Tianmu uttered monotonously.

A man with a heart of stone.

Ye Yuwei looked at Gu Juexi again. If the man was from the Gu family, making such promises to a woman did not indicate anything about their feelings.

Ye Yuwei finally realized why the previous version of Gu Juexi was so annoying.

It’s in their blood!

The helicopter had arrived but they were stranded because they were surrounded by more than a dozen people and Wen Lan was still holding Wen Jie hostage.

The roar of the helicopter obscured the voices in the hall, but it was overpowered by Wen Lan’s devastated shriek.

“No! No!” Wen Lan cried out.

“Wen Lan, why do you hate me so much?” Despite being held at gunpoint, Wen Jie was calm. Maybe it was because of Ye Shu’s video, or because she had finally gotten an answer for this incident.

On the whole, it was a feeling of relief. It felt like the burden that had been crushing her for the past decades had finally been lifted away.

Furthermore, it was because of Gu Juexi’s attitude in handling this matter. She realized that this incident hadn’t affected their relationship and her son hadn’t disappointed her.

“Why?” Wen Lan laughed in between her sobs. She tapped Wen Jie’s head with the gun agitatedly.
