Chapter 164 – The White Moonlight is Forcibly Loved by the Substitute 62
“Mr. Ai, don’t be so quick to act. This kid is still useful.”
Tian Yue raised a hand to stop Ai Jing, shaking his head calmly.
“Damn it!”
Ai Jing cursed under his breath and viciously smashed the butt of his gun against Gu Qiyan’s head. Blood gushed out, quickly blurring his vision.
Tian Yue stepped forward, tore the tape from his mouth, and questioned him in a hoarse voice, “Where is Meng Ying!”
“I don’t know! We had a falling out. Because of him, I’m being targeted by all the major families. I’m looking for him too! It really wasn’t me who betrayed you, believe me, Mr. Ai… Don’t kill me, I beg you. I’ll do anything for you…” Gu Qiyan pleaded, his face pale.
Ai Jing quickly calmed down. Once they were wanted by the World Government, they would need Gu Qiyan’s help to leave Tianning safely.
“Help me get out of Tianning. If you dare to pull any tricks, I’ll make sure you die a horrible death!” he warned with a grim face.
“Let’s go to Han Sea. It’s very chaotic there right now, so the World Government would never guess you’d go there. My older brother used to have some influence there. After he died, I took over the territory he managed. It’s a very safe place to hide,” Gu Qiyan said eagerly.
He chose to help Ai Jing for his own personal gain. As long as Ai Jing wasn’t caught by the World Government, there were endless possibilities. And he could use Ai Jing’s power to make a comeback. As long as Ai Jing provided him with financial support, he could take off again in a short period of time, perhaps even flying higher than before.
Han Sea? Ai Jing’s brow furrowed, but after some thought, he nodded.
“To avoid any trouble from delays, you should leave as soon as possible. I’ll arrange everything. Believe me, give me a chance, Mr. Ai. I will prove with my actions that I am absolutely the most reliable partner!” Gu Qiyan said hastily. To prove his sincerity, he immediately made a call to arrange things.
Half an hour later, Ai Jing was hidden in a refrigerated truck full of cabbages, silently leaving Tianning for Han Sea. Tian Yue did not accompany him. He stayed behind to monitor Gu Qiyan. If he sensed anything amiss, he would kill him immediately before leaving. With his skills and abilities, escaping the World Government’s pursuit would not be a problem.
Gu Qiyan was still very wary of this formidable assassin.
“Are you sure you don’t need me to arrange a hiding place for you, Mr. Tian?”
“No need, I have my own places to go. There must be World Government agents in Tianning, and that mole must be hiding somewhere around you. Find him and tear him to pieces, no matter what, to appease the hatred in my heart! I’m leaving this matter to you. You won’t disappoint me, will you?”
Tian Yue shot him a warning glance, then turned and left, his figure quickly disappearing into the night.
“Damn it…”
Gu Qiyan gave him the middle finger as he walked away. If he went back just like this, he would definitely be suspected by the World Government. He had to find a way to avoid that timing. A resolute look flashed in his eyes; he had an idea.
The next morning, Shuang Yu and the others received news that Gu Qiyan had been hospitalized.
“What do you think?”
Shuang Yu tapped his fingers on his thigh and looked at Jingmo.
“His attack came at a very convenient time, right when Ai Jing went missing,” Jingmo said with a meaningful smile.
“Do you need my help?” Shuang Yu asked, raising an eyebrow.
There was a high probability that they could find Ai Jing through Gu Qiyan.
“How does Yu want to help me?~”
Jingmo pressed relentlessly, his face moving closer and closer until their lips were almost touching. He stopped, full of affection, and nuzzled his nose against his.
“How do you want me to help you?”
Aroused, Shuang Yu’s voice was somewhat strained. He couldn’t help but lift his foot and gently caress him.
“Before you help me deal with Gu Qiyan, Yu should probably help me put out the fire on my body first,” the latter said, unable to bear it any longer. Veins bulged on his forehead as he suddenly pushed him down.
***
A month passed quickly. During this month, although Gu Qiyan was hospitalized, he had accomplished many things. He announced that the Gu family was withdrawing from the Underground Trade Association. The Gu family’s withdrawal caused quite a stir in Tianning.
While appearing to be quietly recuperating, Gu Qiyan was also conducting investigations in private. Whether for Ai Jing’s sake or his own, he had to find the World Government’s mole lurking among them. He had suspected Si Shuangyu, but after questioning Jingmo and observing in secret, he felt he was overthinking it. As for Jingmo? He never suspected him. After all, Jingmo had been injected with the poison and could only obey his orders.
Just as things were at a standstill, Gu Qiyan received a call from Meng Ying.
“You still dare to show your face? Do you know how much trouble you’ve caused me!”
“I never meant to harm you, A Yan. We’ve known each other for so many years, don’t you know me by now? I would do anything for you, how could I possibly harm you! I was framed, that’s why I ended up in this situation. Do you have any idea how much I suffered just to come back and help you… I know you’re looking for the mole among us. I know who it is.”
Meng Ying, who had been in hiding for many days, had already gathered clear information about what had happened in Tianning.
“Who is it!” Gu Qiyan asked excitedly.
“Let’s meet. I’ll tell you then. Tonight at eight, at Jigang Port. I’ll only wait until midnight. If you don’t come, I’ll leave by myself.”
He refused to reveal the truth easily, insisting on meeting in person before he would talk.
After hanging up, Gu Qiyan began to think about what to do. Ai Jing would not spare Meng Ying. If he found out that he had let Meng Ying go, the misunderstanding between them would deepen. Xiao Yu couldn’t tolerate Meng Ying either. If he still wanted to start over with him, Meng Ying had to be eliminated. With this in mind, he had already made up his mind.
As the time of departure approached, Jingmo arrived at the hospital where Gu Qiyan was staying.
“Mr. Gu, I’ve brought your clothes. Are you going out?”
He had followed orders and gone back to the Gu Residence to fetch his suit.
“Yes, I have some business to attend to. You’re coming with me. I’ll change first,” Gu Qiyan said with a detached expression, nodding.
He still had great faith in Jingmo’s abilities. With him around, Meng Ying wouldn’t be able to escape!
“Yes, Mr. Gu. I’ll wait for you outside.”
Jingmo nodded, bowed to him, and turned to leave the hospital room. Leaning his back against the wall, he curled his lips into a slight smile and took out his phone to text Shuang Yu.
“I have a surprise for you tonight, Yu. Wait for my news!”
What surprise? It wouldn’t be another fright, would it? Shuang Yu’s brow furrowed slightly. He was clearly scarred by the psychos from the previous two worlds. Every “surprise” they gave him was a shock that could scare someone to death! So, what exactly was that Yandere Little Biscuit planning?
