The killers who had been after them earlier had retreated when Mo Fei emerged in the middle of the bounty hunting spree.

Mo Fei led them to a crowded square. Ye Yuwei sat on the stairs, looking up at the stars in the sky.

Mo Fei tossed a tube of ointment at Nalan Chunbo and Qiao Yi for their injuries. She sat beside Ye Yuwei and said, “Don’t worry, they won’t dare to make a move on you now that I’m here.”

Ye Yuwei moved her gaze to Mo Fei. She accepted the tea that Mo Fei gave her and said, “Thank you for saving me again.”

Mo Fei shrugged indifferently. “Are you disappointed it wasn’t your man who saved you?”

Ye Yuwei was silent. She looked at the can of tea in her hand and opened it.

“I was wondering what kind of investigation had brought both of you here, but I never expected you were here to get yourself killed,” Mo Fei exclaimed. She rested her hands on the stairs and looked at Ye Yuwei cheekily. “Aren’t you wondering why I’m here?”

“My brother told me you owe him a favor,” Ye Yuwei replied as she drank her tea.

“What does this have to do with him?” Mo Fei rolled her eyes and peered at Nalan Chunbo, smirking slightly.

Ye Yuwei looked at her in confusion. If it was not Brother, then—

“Your man! That bastard threatened me with my life! Do you know how exhausting it was for me to rush here from B City?” Mo Fei grimaced agitatedly.

Ye Yuwei gaped in shock but remained silent. She lowered her gaze again in wonder. It was Gu Juexi who sent her.

She was supposed to be happy about it, but her expression suggested otherwise.

“Oh really?” Ye Yuwei cupped the can of tea in her hands. She spoke again after taking a deep breath, “Anyway, thank you.”

Mo Fei shrugged again.

The bastard Gu Juexi would no doubt honor his words. Hence, she would do her best to protect Ye Yuwei for her own benefit.

“Oh yes, has Brother Qian searched for you after that day?” Ye Yuwei asked suddenly.

“As if he could find me.” Mo Fei smirked arrogantly, obviously not worried about Qian Yikun.

Mo Fei looked around her then asked, “Did your man really leave you alone?”

Ye Yuwei’s jaw dropped at the remarkably incisive question. She paused for a while as she did not know how to answer.

“He has more important business to take care of,” she blurted out. That was the best answer she could think of.

Mo Fei sneered in amusement. Before she could say anything, she heard the buzz of an incoming message notification from Qiao Yi’s phone. Qiao Yi took out his phone and viewed the message.

“Wen Chenghao appeared at the port in the F Zone,” Qiao Yi reported as he looked at Nalan Chunbo.

Nalan Chunbo and Ye Yuwei got to their feet abruptly. They were in the F Zone now, which meant that Wen Chenghao was nearby.

Meanwhile, Gu Juexi had received the message as well.

Gu Juexi opened the door and got out of the car. Ye Yuwei could not help but stare at the man who had suddenly appeared before her. It had only been several hours but it felt like they had been apart for a century.

The concern in Gu Juexi’s eyes faded slightly when he saw Mo Fei as he scanned the surroundings.

Ye Yuwei forced herself to look away from Gu Juexi.

Gu Juexi slammed the car door, approached them in big strides, and grabbed Ye Yuwei’s wrists.

“Don’t touch me!” Ye Yuwei lashed out furiously. Why would he come to her after pushing her away?

Mo Fei whistled in amusement and received a death stare from Gu Juexi.

“I let someone send you away.” Gu Juexi stared at Ye Yuwei adoringly and whispered tenderly, “I promise I will give you an answer for all of this, but you have to leave now.”
