“I want to see my friend.” Faced with Wei Yu’s straightforward inner thoughts, Pei Jiao interrupted him.

Wei Yu could not do anything to her and was afraid that she would be anxious, so he could only hold her hand and enter the first building. They took the elevator upstairs.

Pei Jiao finally met Beike. At that moment, he was no longer trussed up. Wei Yu probably knew that she was here and was afraid that she would be angry, so he untied Beike. However, Wei Yu did not seem to have informed Beike in advance that she was coming over.

The moment the door opened, the chair in Beike’s hand almost hit her head. Fortunately, at the critical moment, he saw that it was her. The chair in his hand tilted and smashed to the side. But it still frightened Pei Jiao.

Out of instinct, she shrank back. She happened to retreat into Wei Yu’s arms, and he used both hands to protect her. At this level, even if the chair in Beike’s hand really smashed down, Pei Jiao might not be injured at all.

“It’s you!” Beike threw the chair in his hand and reached out to pull Pei Jiao over from Wei Yu’s arms.

Pei Jiao’s head was pulled back. The next second, Wei Yu grabbed her other hand to prevent her from being pulled over by Beike. Both of them exerted their strength almost at the same time.

Pei Jiao opened her mouth. “Hey—!’

The moment the scream sounded, the two of them let go almost at the same time. Pei Jiao felt the soreness of her hands being pulled at the same time and grimaced. “The two of you can really take my life.”

Wei Yu: “Are you okay?”

Beike also stepped forward. “Are you alright?”

They spoke in unison. Afraid that they would pull her again, Pei Jiao took a step to the side. Wei Yu took care of Pei Jiao and did not go forward. Beike reacted much faster. Taking advantage of Wei Yu’s relaxed guard, he pulled

Pei Jiao in front of him and pinched her neck, but he did not use any strength.

Just like that, Pei Jiao was held hostage by Beike with a dumbfounded expression. Beike said to Wei Yu in a fierce tone, “Let me go, or I’ll strangle her to death for you to see.”

Pei Jiao:

Wei Yu only frowned and watched this scene quietly. He did not go forward to stop or get angry.

Beike secretly exerted strength in his arms, making the veins on the back of his hands look like they were bulging. Wei Yu’s calm attitude definitely meant that he felt that he would not really attack.

“Hello, Beike?” Pei Jiao raised her hand and gently patted the back of Beike’s hand.

Bei Ke had a fierce expression. “Don’t try to worm your way into being friends with me. It’s all because of you that I was arrested and locked up here. Now that you’ve fallen into my hands, be a good hostage!’

Pei Jiao:

To be honest, in the past, Pei Jiao only felt that Beike was crazy. Now, she felt that Beike was not just careless. He was just innocent and stupid.

“Hello, Beike?” Pei Jiao called out to him.

Beike lowered his voice. “Shh, cooperate with me and pretend to be very afraid. I’ll take you running with me when the time is right.”

Pei Jiao rolled her eyes speechlessly. “Do you think he captured me?”

Beike was stunned. “Isn’t that so?”

Pei Jiao said, “l came here myself.”

Beike relaxed his grip. “Then why didn’t you say so earlier?”

Pei Jiao asked, “Did you give me a chance to say that? You reached out and strangled me.”

Beike:

Wei Yu, who did not disturb the two of them from the beginning to the end, asked softly, “Have you guys finished chatting?”

Pei Jiao pried Beike’s hand away and walked over. “Let him go first. I’ll stay.” Wei Yu’s lips curled up as he turned to look at Beike. “You can leave now.”

Before Pei Jiao came, Beike wanted to leave every second. Other than kicking him in the mall, Wei Yu had not attacked him again. However, Wei Yu had tied him up for the entire night. It was too humiliating for Beike.

Now that Pei Jiao was here, Beike did not want to leave so much.

“I’m already here, so I’m going to have a meal before leaving.” Beike clearly had no intention of leaving.

Wei Yu did not look happy. “Just like what you scolded last night, I’m petty and have no food for you.”

“…” Beike looked at Pei Jiao. “You’re such a generous person, but you actually talked to such a petty dog. It’s embarrassing.”

Pei Jiao suppressed a smile. “You know how to fan the flames.”

As expected, as soon as Beike said that, Wei Yu’s expression turned ugly. In the end, Wei Yu even convinced himself to tolerate Beike’s existence. Who

asked him to be her friend?

They reached the living room. Beike crossed his legs on the coffee table, his posture higher than Wei Yu’s. Wei Yu stood opposite him, his expression dark and ugly.

Pei Jiao stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and took a call from Pei Jingzhou. Pei Jingzhou was furious on the phone. “Didn’t I tell you to stay at home?”

Pei Jiao was not confident. “I’ll be back soon.”

Pei Jingzhou said, “Pei Jiao!’

Although Pei Jingzhou had always called Pei Jiao by her full name, this often made Pei Jiao even more afraid. She explained, “l know you have plans, but I don’t want my friend to be in constant danger. Don’t worry. I’ll be back tonight.”

Pei Jingzhou said nothing. Pei Jiao could clearly feel her brother’s anger through the phone. In her brother’s eyes, she was too disobedient! “l promise…” Pei Jiao’s tone softened. “Really, I promise.” At this moment, Wei Yu walked to Pei Jiao’s side. Pei Jiao sensed it and turned her body to prevent Wei Yu from hearing anything. “Just this once. I’ll hang up first.”

With that, she hung up, not caring how angry her brother was. She turned and met Wei Yu’s probing gaze. “Why are you still eavesdropping on my call?”

Wei Yu’s gaze lowered and stopped on the phone in her hand. “l want to know who you’re calling.”

“My friend.” Casually perfunctory, she walked toward Beike.

Wei Yu couldn’t see through her. Learning from the lessons of the past two days, he didn’t try to probe into her private matters again. Pei Jiao walked over and saw that Beike was sitting like a second master. She said in a negotiating tone, “Why don’t you leave?”

Beike: “l won’t leave.’

Wei Yu stood behind Pei Jiao, his expression not too good when he heard Beike say that she was not leaving. “l have another way to invite you away.”

He said ‘invite’. However, Beike and Pei Jiao knew very well what kind of ‘invite’ it was. Beike looked at Pei Jiao deeply. “Are you sure you want me to leave?”

Pei Jiao had a plan. “Yes, leave first. Don’t worry, nothing will happen to me.”

Behind her, Wei Yu glanced at Pei Jiao silently. He felt that she should believe him. He was moved and took a step forward unknowingly. Beike took in Wei Yu’s reaction just now and couldn’t help but sneer. “You look worthless. I’m leaving. ”

Beike understood Pei Jiao. Since Pei Jiao had repeatedly asked him to leave first, she must have her own plans. Beike did not intend to ask what she wanted to do. Wei Yu sent Beike out the door. As he closed the door, Beike pressed his foot against the crack and warned Wei Yu, “Don’t bully her!” Wei Yu did not even look at Beike. He kicked his foot out and closed the door.

Beike: “…” He was as arrogant as ever…

Pei Jiao and Wei Yu were the only ones in the huge room. Pei Jiao sat down generously, looking ready to talk business. “Sit down first. I have a few things to tell you.”

Wei Yu sat down beside Pei Jiao. Pei Jiao looked sideways at him. She realized that Wei Yu was looking at her with such passion.

Pei Jiao avoided his gaze. His overly hot gaze left her at a loss. She couldn’t look straight at him and could only avoid it. Before she could speak, Wei Yu couldn’t help but touch her. He grabbed her wrist first and then approached her bit by bit. Every inch of distance was just right, making it difficult for Pei Jiao to push him away or retreat.

She thought she should be repulsed. However, there was no rejection in her heart at all. She seemed a little too strange. She shouldn’t have reacted like this. Wei Yu gently held her and rested his chin on her shoulder. “Go on. I’m listening.

Pei Jiao:

She closed her eyes. When she opened them again, they were clear. “Get up first. Sit still so I can talk to you properly.”

Wei Yu hugged her with extreme dependence. “l want to do this. You can accommodate me.’

Pei Jiao’s temples throbbed. She endured it. “l want to talk about my true identity.”

“What’s your real identity?” he asked, following her lead. His tone was low and filled with unclear emotion.

Pei Jiao was not in the mood to guess his emotions. She told him calmly, “I’m from a mysterious guild in Xingzhou.”

Wei Yu asked, “What guild?”

“It’s not convenient for me to say more,” Pei Jiao said seriously. “But I can tell you that my goal in approaching you was to get that secret document.” She’d never heard of any bullshit document, but just to fool him, she’d make it up. He’d believe it anyway. She raised her elbow and pushed him away a little. She faced him squarely. “So we’ve been on opposite sides from the beginning.”

Wei Yu pulled her back into his arms again. “l don’t mind or care. Now that the document has been recovered, no one has made a mistake. That’s not an obstacle.’

Pei Jiao’s head hurt. “You don’t care just because you like me?”

Wei Yu t s tone was firm. “l don’t care.’

“Then…” Pei Jiao looked into Wei Yu’s eyes and said to him seriously, “I’ll give you an address in three days. Come and see me. I’ll tell you my decision that
