“I should apologize nonetheless, but I didn’t use you of my own will,” Qian Yikun said and put down his mug. He took a little blue box from his pocket and passed it to Ye Yuwei.

“What is it?” Ye Yuwei’s mind went blank for a second as she put down her mug too.

“Open it,” urged Qian Yikun smilingly.

Ye Yuwei picked up the box and opened it up slowly, revealing a diamond necklace inside.

“I can’t accept this, Brother Qian,” Ye Yuwei protested and quickly pushed the little blue box back towards Qian Yikun.

Gu Juexi would definitely strangle her to death if she accepted it.

Her life was way more important than a diamond necklace, so she definitely would not accept it.

But Qian Yikun didn’t take it back. “I didn’t buy the gift. There is a microchip under the diamond.”

“Microchip?” Ye Yuwei was frightened to ask.

“Yes. It’s the microchip that Bai Yuyan passed to me last time. She said she got it from the back of your neck,” Qian Yikun shrugged and said.

Ye Yuwei touched the back of her neck subconsciously. How did the microchip get there?

“As for what the microchip is for, I am sure Mr. Gu will know best so he should be the one to answer your question. As for the necklace, please accept it as an apology for using you earlier,” Qian Yikun laughed and said.

Ye Yuwei didn’t refuse the necklace this time and asked, “I am curious, Brother Qian, about you and Bai Yuyan…”

“I was just using her,” Qian Yikun lowered his gaze briefly to hide his emotions and quickly looked at Ye Yuwei when his expression was calm again. “I needed to get into the Bai Family and she needed money. We were just taking what we needed.”

Ye Yuwei listened to what Qian Yikun said and picked up her mug again. They valued very different things.

“Oh by the way, I heard that Gu Juexi is in trouble again?” said Qian Yikun suddenly, “does he need help?”

“Thank you, but I think we are good on our own.” Ye Yuwei turned down Qian Yikun’s offer politely, and Qian Yikun nodded easily.

“You can call if you ever need help. Just consider it returning the favor,” said Qian Yikun as he got up from his chair.

“Thank you, Brother Qian,” said Ye Yuwei and quickly stood up as well.

“Do come visit sometime, my mother has been asking about you,” Qian Yikun said as he headed towards the door.

Ye Yuwei nodded and walked Qian Yikun out. Just as she pulled the door open, Gu Juexi was outside, reaching out to push the door open.

Gu Juexi put his hand down quickly and looked at Qian Yikun who was standing beside Ye Yuwei.

“Shouldn’t you be busy, Officer Qian?” asked Gu Juexi coldly.

“I would have been, if Mr. Gu wasn’t such a busybody,” Qian Yikun replied with an elegant smile on his face.

Ye Yuwei looked at the two of them and didn’t know what to say.

This was awkward.

Did Qian Yikun know about it?

“Is it my fault that you can’t arrest someone even after chasing them for ten years?” Gu Juexi sneered spitefully, arms crossed over his chest.

Qian Yikun burst into laughter.

“I am indeed not as good as Mr. Gu. I remember that you saved my life. If you ever need my help, I will—”

“You won’t have the chance,” Gu Juexi interrupted Qian Yikun, and Ye Yuwei covered her face in embarrassment. Could this man be polite and not make things awkward just once?

But Qian Yikun wasn’t angry. He looked at Ye Yuwei before he left and said, “I will leave now. Don’t forget what I said.”

He had said something?
