Ye Yuwei who has been sitting at the side of her bed and feigning her composure sprung up from her bed when she heard Gu Juexi. She fell into someone’s arms before she could do or say anything.

“You scared me,” Gu Juexi said hoarsely, wrapping his arms around Ye Yuwei. Only now was his mind at ease.

Ye Yuwei stayed obediently in Gu Juexi’s arms and began to tremble.

Qian Yikun put his hands in his pocket and looked at Ye Yuwei shaking. Turned out that she wasn’t a strong woman; she only had to be strong because the person who could make her let down her shield was not around.

Gu Juexi was hugging Ye Yuwei who was shivering, and suddenly took a step back to look at her pale face and examined if she was hurt. “What happened?” Gu Juexi asked and his expression turned terrifying when he noticed the bloodstain on the window.

“No one knows what happened, the police are still investigating.” Knowing that Ye Yuwei was too frightened to say anything for now, Qian Yikun answered Gu Juexi’s question.

Gu Juexi didn’t seem to appreciate his helpfulness and shot him a cold glance before pulling Ye Yuwei back into his arms again.

“We found it,” a policeman declared as he came into the room with a transparent bag in his hand.

Ye Yuwei shuddered and Gu Juexi pressed her head to his chest the moment he saw what was in the bag.

The bag was filled with blood. Gu Juexi only got to see a human hand from his angle, and there appeared to be more in the bag.

Gu Juexi immediately put the puzzle together – someone flung the bag at the window, and Ye Yuwei was alone in the room at the time.

He hugged the woman in his arms even tighter and began to blame himself for quarreling with her. Ye Yuwei wouldn’t have gone to the hotel alone and gone through all this by herself if it weren’t for him.

The police officer leading the team wanted to ask Ye Yuwei some questions but was not able to do so with Gu Juexi beside her.

“Mr. Gu, considering that this is the 13th floor, we suspect that someone was doing it maliciously to threaten Mrs. Gu. Has Mrs. Gu been on bad terms with anyone lately?”

Gu Juexi could tell that Ye Yuwei was targeted. Why else would anyone do this on the 13th floor otherwise?

“Bai Yuyan. It was Bai Yuyan,” said Ye Yuwei with a shaky voice. She still didn’t dare to close her eyes because it only made her remember the gory scene that she saw.

Gu Juexi stroked Ye Yuwei’s back to comfort her and then looked at Qian Yikun. “This is your hotel, Mr. Qian. I would like an explanation as to why my wife is going through this at your place.”

Qian Yikun’s brows furrowed and he said apologetically, “I admit that it was the negligence of the hotel. Our security is lacking and it gave the culprit the chance.”

Ye Yuwei continued to bury her head in Gu Juexi’s chest with all those bloody human body parts flashing in her head. She knew it was Bai Yuyan. It could only be Bai Yuyan because no one hated her as much as Bai Yuyan did.

“We got the footage, sir. It was a flying drone,” one of the police from the technical team reported.

Gu Juexi heard what that police said and looked at Qian Yikun viciously. “Look at what your ex-fiancé did, Mr. Qian. She’s not remorseful at all even after escaping prison.”

“What are you trying to say, Mr. Gu? Bai Yuyan and I are no longer related, didn’t Mr. Gu know this a long time ago?” Qian Yikun asked quietly with obvious rage in his voice. “What happened to Yuwei was an accident. I will make sure to investigate the incident and take legal action against Bai Yuyan myself if she is proven to be the culprit.”
