Chapter 199 Making Excuses and Escaping



"You've been rejecting me."

Gu Zeyu lowered his head and suddenly gave a bitter laugh.

“But Gu Huaixu wouldn’t do anything to hurt me, but you would.” Wen Yibai was completely unambiguous.

Gu Zeyu looked up at Wen Yi, his expression a mixture of surprise and embarrassment. He had never expected Wen Yi to be so blunt.

Wen Yi used to be reserved, but now Wen Yi is sharp and incisive, hitting the nail on the head.

When Gu Zeyu heard Wen Yi say that she had never rejected Gu Huaixu, he was reminded of how he had been rejected by Wen Yi time and time again, which hurt him deeply.

As a result, Wen Yi's words instantly reminded Gu Zeyu of the time when, at Wen Yi's homecoming banquet, he had stood up for Wen Ge and made things difficult for Wen Yi because he had believed what Wen Ge and the others said about Wen Yi bullying his sister.

As a result, Gu Zeyu now feels not only awkward but also embarrassed when facing Wen Yi, making it impossible for him to continue spending time with her.

"I remembered I have something to do. Shall I take you home first?" Gu Zeyu made an excuse and tried to leave.

Wen smiled and said, "You forgot, I was driving."

She pointed to the car not far away; just a few minutes earlier, Wen Yi had gone to get her coat and put it on.

Gu Zeyu gave an embarrassed laugh to cover up his embarrassment, "Oh, right, right, look at me, I get a little distracted when I think about the things I have to do."

"Do you need me to take you?" Wen Yi asked calmly, a faint smile on her face.

It was this smile that made Gu Zeyu's already somewhat embarrassed mood soar to its peak.

In front of Wen Yi, he felt like a poor actor, exposing all his little thoughts, and he desperately wanted to escape.

"I, I, I..."

"After all, Young Master Gu is preoccupied with his work, and I'm afraid he'll get distracted and drive poorly," Wen Yi explained calmly.

But for Gu Zeyu, Wen Yi's calm attitude only made him feel more embarrassed.

He truly couldn't continue spending time with Wen Yi.

At least for the time being, he dares not face Wen Yi.

"It's nothing, I'll be careful. You get in the car and leave first. I'll feel more at ease watching you go."

Gu Zeyu tried his best to remain calm and said.

Wen Yi knew what Gu Zeyu was feeling right now, and she also thought that if she continued to stay here, Gu Dashao probably wouldn't want to see her again in the future, which wasn't a good thing.

After all, from the topics we discussed today, Wen Yi realized that Gu Huaixu's death this time was not so simple.

Because of Gu Zeyu's reminder that Gu Huaixu needed to be hidden and that the signal jammer needed to be found late at night.

This is not an operation that can be performed under normal circumstances.

"Then I'll go first," Wen Yi said.

Gu Zeyu nodded, keeping a straight expression as he looked at Wen Yi.

Wen Yi turned and walked towards the car. After getting in, she started the car and drove away slowly. At the same time, Wen Yi kept staring at the rearview mirror and clearly saw that when the car turned, Gu Zeyu looked like a deflated balloon and almost collapsed.

Wen smiled and quickened her pace to leave.

She drove straight to the store and bought a signal jammer, along with a hat and a mask. After concealing herself a bit, she drove to the address that Gu Zeyu had just sent to Wen Yi's phone.

Whether it was buying a signal jammer, a hat, or sunglasses, or driving to the cemetery, Wen Yi drove very fast and hardly thought about anything.

But when the car stopped at the cemetery, Wen Yi realized that the distance between her and Gu Huaixu was less than a kilometer, and she began to panic and think a lot.

She wondered, was Gu Huaixu really in that cemetery?

She wondered if, after learning from the bartender that Gu Huaixu was not dead, Wen Yi felt a mix of shock and relief, as well as anticipation.

What can we prove by going up there now?

This proves that Gu Huaixu is really dead. But can Wen Yi really bear this situation where expectations are raised and then shattered?

Wen Yi thought about many things, and even started to think of excuses and ways to escape; she just didn't want to go up.

She never had the courage.

Even now, forced to this point, Wen Yi still lacks the courage to confront Gu Huaixu and anything about Gu Huaixu's death.

She couldn't do anything; she had none at all.

Weak and incompetent.

It's ridiculous that they're still running away from it.

Realizing all this, Wen Yi slumped helplessly onto the steering wheel, feeling both like laughing and crying.

It was at this moment that Wen accidentally touched the horn on the steering wheel, and the silent, deserted street was suddenly filled with a piercing, sharp horn sound, startling the birds resting in the trees.

Even Wen Yi himself was somewhat surprised, and he sat up straight in his seat.

As Wen Yi leaned back in her seat, panting heavily, the car door was suddenly opened from the outside. Wen Yi looked over alertly for a moment, and only when she saw the masked man enter did she breathe a sigh of relief, letting down her guard and fear as she leaned back in her seat.

"How did you end up here?" Wen asked.

The masked man turned his head to look at Wen Yi and asked, "What did you say?"

"Tell me, why are you here?"

"Who am I?" the other person asked.

Wen Yi didn't understand and thought the other party's question was inexplicable and crazy.

At the same time, Wen Yi was already resisting going to the cemetery, and now that this person was here, Wen Yi instantly found a super convincing excuse among many other reasons to avoid it.

She could tell Gu Zeyu about her relationship with Gu Huaixu because she was certain that Gu Zeyu wouldn't dare to make it public, and the Gu family wouldn't allow Gu Huaixu's reputation to be damaged.

But the man beside her was different. Gu Huaixu's reputation and Wen Yi's reputation were nothing to him, and this man might use this matter to mock and attack the Gu family.

So we have to leave now.

This reason is well-founded and not only holds up but is also very persuasive.

"Let's go back first." Wen Yi was about to put the car in drive when the man next to her suddenly reached out and grabbed her hand.

"What are you doing?" Wen Yi asked, somewhat repulsed.

The man turned his head and stared at Wen Yi. "If I had appeared on this road today to rob and rape you, you would be dead by now."

The other person lowered their voice, their deep eyes filled with seriousness.

This topic was a wake-up call for Wen Yi, whose mind was filled with excuses to avoid visiting Gu Huaixu's grave because of his presence.

Indeed, on such a deserted and desolate street, when a man suddenly appeared sitting in a car, Wen Yi's first reaction was not to lock the car door in advance or to immediately get out of the car and run to the cemetery security room, but to calmly chat with the robber...

Suddenly realizing what he had overlooked, Wen Yi felt a chill run down his spine.
