Chapter 1346: The Finale of the Saga – Let it Go IV
Gu Juexi could feel his palms getting sweaty after Ye Yuwei took Xixi from him, but he had no choice but to hide his emotions.
Wen Jie who was still kneeling began to feel her knees trembling. Gu Juexi bent over to help her up, and suddenly Ai Mijia whipped out a gun and pointed it at them.
“Do you want to see which is faster—me or your gun? The story is not finished, Aunt Gu, why are you so agitated?” Gu Juexi helped Wen Jie up and said sarcastically while looking at Ai Mijia who was holding her gun.
Aunt Gu was standing there with her gun pointed at Ye Yuwei, and the men behind her had also whipped out their guns.
“You can’t be faster than all these guns, Gu Juexi,” said Ai Mijia coldly. And even if he was fast enough to disarm her, she had her men pointing their guns at Gu Juexi’s family.
Gu Juexi agreed with what Ai Mijia said and nodded.
“So, Aunt Gu, why don’t we continue with the story?” said Gu Juexi while pulling Ye Yuwei behind him, his mind at ease when he looked for his son and saw him in Nalan Chunbo’s arms.
His mother would be safe with Gu Tianmu and Nalan Jing by her side, so he was not worried about his mother too.
Ai Mijia moved slowly around the sofa with her gun pointed at Ye Yuwei, while Gu Juexi moved along with her to make sure that Ye Yuwei remained behind him.
“You are a smart one, Gu Juexi. Did you suspect me merely from what happened recently?” asked Ai Mijia.
“You were wrong for informing me of your own death,” said Gu Juexi, the gun now pointing at him since he hid Ye Yuwei behind him, “the video Gu Tianxin showed pointed everything to Nalan Jing, but “blind” was just a red herring. You played a part in misleading me during my last deduction, so it was not impossible that Nalan Jing would want to kill you to warn me for being blind.”
“Why did you not believe what you just said then?” Ai Mijia nodded and asked as she rested her finger on the trigger.
“Because Ye Di was the person Nalan Jing loved,” Gu Juexi looked at the woman who was standing only one step away from him and said slowly, “and because Ye Di would never want him to kill.”
“And you believed what he said? You thought I lied, but couldn’t he be the one who lied? Wasn’t the fact that he liked Ye Di a motive for him to kill?”
Gu Juexi nodded and did not deny it. “You used Ye Di to get something that you could use to threaten Gu Tianmu, but never had you expected that my grandmother would rather burn her boats than let you threaten Gu Tianmu.”
So she chose to kill Ye Di.
“Everything spiraled out of your control then. In a frenzy, you became desperate and wanted to kill Nalan Jing too.”
“Yes, that old hag couldn’t bear to kill her, so I had to do it. Did you know? She was waiting for Nalan Jing even until her death. She died before seeing her own child, who I would have killed too if Ye Shu hadn’t arrived.”
“Ai Mijia!” Nalan Jing roared and lunged at Ai Mijia.
A gunshot and childish scream rent the air.
Gu Juexi cursed, and couldn’t believe what he saw while he was protecting Ye Yuwei and his children from the bullets.
Gu Tianmu was stepping back with his one hand keeping Wen Jie behind him when Wen Lan who was on the floor suddenly got up and jumped in front of Wen Jie, taking a bullet that Ai Mijia fired.
