Nalan Chunbo unconsciously moved closer to Wen Shan’s lips, then suddenly reared back as if struck by lightning when he realized what he was doing.

What was he doing?

Did he forget about who he was?

How could he ever deserve a girl like this?

Nalan Chunbo took a deep breath then went over to where Uncle He was to help him with the cast net.

Meanwhile in B city, Gu Juexi arrived at Gu Bank at 5.05pm.

Gu Tianxin was still sleeping in the rest area of Ye Yuwei’s office as if she hadn’t rested for a very long time.

Gu Tianxin was alerted even in her sleep when Ye Yuwei opened the door to the rest area. She sat up suddenly, making Ye Yuwei jump.

Gu Tianxin relaxed only after she saw the person who walked in.

“Send me the video. And what was in the safe?” Gu Juexi asked straightforwardly the moment he entered the rest area.

Gu Tianxin wouldn’t use sibling love as a reason to ask Gu Juexi for help. After all, there was no such thing as sibling love except the blood relation between them.

“I can give you what you want, but only after you find the person that killed my mother,” Gu Tianxin stated her conditions.

“How would I know who your mother offended?” Gu Juexi sneered.

“I know where Wen Lan is. I am sure you are interested in that?” Gu Tianxin asked coyly.

Ye Yuwei had told Gu Juexi over the phone that Wen Lan was still alive so he wasn’t that surprised when he heard Gu Tianxin say it.

Gu Juexi looked at Ye Yuwei who was also looking at him.

“I know Gu Tianmu blames the Ye family for what happened to his family. Are you really okay with it when the real culprit is still on the loose?” Gu Tianxin asked agitatedly, as if worried that Gu Juexi would turn down her offer.

“Why should I believe you? We both saw Wen Lan die at sea,” argued Gu Juexi.

Gu Tianxin got down from the bed with her phone in her hand and showed Gu Juexi a photo on her phone.

The woman in the photo was elegant and poised, and the place where the photo was taken actually looked familiar to Gu Juexi.

“I am sure you know this place?” Gu Tianxin asked as she put her phone away quickly, “You bought the love stone that you used to propose to Ye Yuwei from Princess Pink, am I right?”

“How do you know about that?” asked Ye Yuwei in surprise.

“So what?” asked Gu Juexi who was starting to believe what Gu Tianxin was saying.

“I have heard about the story of the love stone from my mother. One of them was a blood diamond disguised as a sapphire, and the other one was a red spotted golden diamond. While the blood diamond is also known as the cursed diamond, the golden diamond is also known as the indestructible love diamond. Do you believe me now?” asked Gu Tianxin after describing the love rocks briefly.

Ye Yuwei touched the diamond ring on her finger subconsciously, and remembered the sapphire set that she had.

Gu Juexi looked at his watch, then turned to leave the rest area.

“Gu Juexi,” Gu Tianxin called out quickly.

“You can stay here, it is the safest place you can find. I won’t be able to guarantee your safety if you leave this place,” Gu Juexi said then looked at Gu Tianxin, “but I will search for the woman. And you better make sure that what you say is true or I won’t protect you or save you from any trouble.”

Gu Juexi left the bank after that.

Ye Yuwei watched Gu Juexi leave then ordered more food for Gu Tianxin.

“Eat these. The bank is a very safe place, and no one knows that you are here. I would advise you to tell Gu Juexi everything you know if you want him to protect you,” Ye Yuwei said then left the bank too.
