728: Should I Inform Them That Gu Juexi Is in There?

Should I Inform Them That Gu Juexi Is in There?

Bai Ying jumped up from her chair. 2

"What are you doing, Uncles? Who are you going to kill next after this person who worked for me? Me?" Bai Ying was the daughter of Master Bai after all, and she had might in her blood. She might not have spoken much over the years but it didn't mean she would allow anyone to walk all over her. 

"Bai Ying," the first patriarch got up from his chair and called out Bai Ying's name. "We are trying to be as cautious as possible, and we are only doing so for the sake of the Bai family." 

"Don't make it sound so noble, Uncle. Have my daughter and I ever asked for anything?" Bai Ying asked coldly. "The Bai family is the fruit of what my father sowed, and I don't get to give my two cents here today? How dare you say it was all for the sake of the Bai family?" 

"So there really was something fishy about Yan Feng?" The third patriarch sneered. 

Bai Ying scoffed as she looked at the faces of the patriarchs. "You are just looking for an excuse to remove me from the family." 

The atmosphere at the lobby had become so tense that everyone was holding their breath. 

Meanwhile, in the underpass, Ye Yuwei saw lights at the end of the underpass and forced herself to move faster towards them. 

It was already ten past six, and Ye Yuwei only had twenty minutes left before she had to leave the Bai family's fortress and pass the distribution map to Yu Jiangqing. 

The exit of the underpass was right in front of Ye Yuwei. The morning rays shone on the grass at the exit of the underpass, symbolizing the hope that Ye Yuwei had for this mission. 

Ye Yuwei endured the pain in her body and continued to move towards the exit of the underpass. She reached the exit finally, and pushed the grass aside before trying to climb out of the exit. 

A shriek split the air the moment Ye Yuwei crawled out from the underpass. Someone yanked her hair and pulled her out from the underpass, throwing her aside. 

Ye Yuwei looked terrible, bruised with bloodstains all over her dirty clothes. Bai Yuyan's face came into view when she pinned Ye Yuwei down to strangle her. 

"I knew you would come out here, Ye Yuwei. I knew that Bai Ying would let you leave the fortress from here, and never would she have expected me to know about this underpass," Bai Yuyan hissed viciously, "I have been waiting here for you all night." 

Ye Yuwei couldn't breathe and began to struggle and hit the woman who was sitting on her in the hopes that she could shake her off.

"Bai… Bai…" 

"You should be dead, Ye Yuwei. You should have…" Bai Yuyan snarled as she tightened her grip on Ye Yuwei's neck. 

Bai Yuyan's wrists were still injured and she was forced to let go of Ye Yuwei when Ye Yuwei grabbed her injured wrist in desperation. Ye Yuwei took the chance and pushed Bai Yuyan off her, trying to get away from her as quickly as she could. 

She had to find Yu Jiangqing quickly and give him the distribution map before Gu Juexi's time was up. 

Before Ye Yuwei could stand up properly, Bai Yuyan grabbed her legs and pulled her down to the floor. 

Ye Yuwei cried out in pain when she crashed to the ground again and panicked when her phone fell out of her hand. 

Ye Yuwei froze when a shot was fired. 

"Don't move," said Bai Yuyan who was pointing a gun at Ye Yuwei. She walked up to Ye Yuwei and picked up her phone. 

Ye Yuwei was lying on her stomach, looking like a complete mess. 

"Give it back to me," Ye Yuwei shouted and struggled to get up, "give it back to me!" 

"Don't move." Bai Yuyan pointed her gun at Ye Yuwei with one hand and looked at the phone in her other hand. "So, should I inform them that Gu Juexi is in there?" Bai Yuyan asked slyly, playing with the phone.
