The Bumpy Road of Marriage: Divorce Now, Daddy

Qian Yikun squinted at the gun before he took it.

“First, you…”

“Take Gu Juexi’s life with this gun tomorrow,” the first patriarch said slowly as he stared at Qian Yikun.

Qian Yikun kept the gun. “I would kill Gu Juexi either way if he really was here, First.”

The first patriarch nodded and patted Qian Yikun’s shoulder with his wrinkled hand. “Make sure that the gun is always with you, understand?”

Qian Yikun smiled elegantly.

“Please don’t worry, First. I won’t let you down.” Qian Yikun put the gun away and said, “it is getting late. You should get some rest.”

The first patriarch squinted and saw Qian Yikun off. Someone beside him asked about his plans curiously and the first Patriarch answered emotionlessly, “we will soon know where his loyalty lies.”

“You suspected that…” the person started but fell silent and lowered his gaze when the first patriarch put a hand up.

Qian Yikun left the first patriarch’s castle and went back to his own place. He noticed a shadow the moment he entered his room, and quickly signaled the shadow to stay quiet as he closed the door behind him.

The moonlight shone into Qian Yikun’s room through the window. There was a rectangular table in the room, and Qian Yikun and Gu Juexi each sat at one end. There was a note on the table that looked like the ones used during elementary school.

[Who are you?]

Qian Yikun curled his lips when he saw the question on the paper, and grabbed a pen to write his reply.

[Interpol, my code name is Wolf.]

Gu Juexi narrowed his eyes when he saw Qian Yikun’s reply and began to look at Qian Yikun cynically. He remembered how Yu Jiangqing used to mention that the Interpol was keeping an eye on Bai family, but never would he have imagined that they would send someone undercover to the Bai Family’s fortress.

[The Bai family is extremely cautious, I haven’t managed to get the distribution map even after eleven years here. We have to get rid of the Bai family once and for all this time and make sure that there is no return for them.]

Gu Juexi tapped his fingers on the table and looked at Qian Yikun when he put the gun on the table.

[The first patriarch is not an easy guy. He figured out your identity and passed me this. They bugged it and wanted me to kill you tomorrow with it.]

Gu Juexi stared at the gun, his fingers still tapping the table. Qian Yikun stopped writing when he got no response from Gu Juexi.

He learned about Gu Juexi during his time at the police academy, and it was not wrong to say that Gu Juexi was his motivation to join Interpol.

So he was willing to take Gu Juexi’s instructions.

[There were only two of us in there.]

Qian Yikun reminded Gu Juexi.

[We won’t be able to contact anyone at all as long as the gate is closed, meaning that we are on our own, and on top of that we have Yuwei with us.]

Gu Juexi saw the word ‘Yuwei’ and felt his eye twitch. Was ‘Yuwei’ what he should be calling her?

How annoying!

[The Bai family’s fortress actually has an underpass. Bai Ying knows about it.]

Qian Yikun saw Gu Juexi’s note and looked up at Gu Juexi. He didn’t know about it even after so many years at the Bai family’s fortress.

[I will make Weiwei look for Bai Ying first thing in the morning tomorrow, and make sure that she leaves through the underpass with the distribution map. The only thing you have to do is kill me and buy her more time.]

Qian Yikun read Gu Juexi’s note in disbelief. Was the man mad?
