“Dr. Wei, how have you been?”
Beiyang, who was laughing enthusiastically, walked over from the crowd.
Wei Yu turned sideways and looked at the person walking towards him not far away. His gaze stopped on Beiyangs face for a moment before he turned to look at Beike beside him. “You two brothers don’t look alike.’
Beike had a serious expression. “How can it be the same when one is born from an ex-wife and the other is a second wife!”
“No wonder!” Wei Yu raised his hand to support his chin. “What happened next was unpresentable.”
Beike said faintly, “He was born from the ex-wife. I was born from the second wife. He’s my brother!”
Wei Yu:
“Hahahahahaha!” Beiyang walked over and laughed arrogantly. “Dr. Wei’s opinion coincides with mine. As expected, we’re the same kind of people.” Beike’s face darkened.
Beiyang walked over and handed his hand to Wei Yu. “Dr. Wei, I’ve heard a lot about you.”
Wei Yu coughed lightly and handed over the hand that was supporting his chin. He shook Beiyangs hand lightly. “l haven’t heard much about you. You’re just a little famous.”
Beiyang said teasingly, “Dr. Wei is not humble at all.”
Wei Yu smiled. “With my aptitude, is that considered modest?”
With that, Wei Yu let go and the smile on his lips faded.
“Not counted! Of course not!” Beiyang looked very easygoing, and there was no ferocious glint in his eyes. “It’s the Dr. Wei in my impression. He’s as arrogant as ever.”
Wei Yu said, “You flatter me.’
Compared to Beiyangs ‘passionate treatment; the guest, Wei Yu, seemed a little ‘arrogant’. He looked around. Other than Beiyangs subordinates, there was no one else.
This was a villa halfway up the mountain outside the capital.
Other than the group of fierce subordinates standing behind Beiyang, there were seven or eight Landkuluzes outside when they came in just now. Clearly, Beiyang had made full preparations for this plan and had invited foreign mercenaries.
Even the Pei family could not act rashly. And the reason why Wei Yu dared to disregard Beiyang was naturally because he had a value that Beiyang had taken a fancy to. This value was also Beike’s bargaining chip for him to come to the negotiation today.
“Please sit down.” Beiyang waved his hand. Martin and the other deputy brought two chairs and a table, then two bottles of whiskey. Beiyang said, “Our Xingzhou doesn’t have the etiquette of treating guests with tea. We only have the rule of treating friends with wine, Pour it for the two of them.”
Martin picked up a bottle of whiskey and roughly unscrewed the cap. He poured wine into two empty glasses, then said in not-quite-standard Mandarin, “After you.”
Beike’s face was dark. He did not even look at the glass of wine. Wei Yu calmly picked up his wine glass. “Treat your friends with wine…” He sneered. “Then you should have many friends, right?”
Beike continued faintly, “He’s too sinister and cunning. No one is his friend.
He’s very pitiful.”
These words hit Beiyang where it hurt. A dark look flashed across his eyes. “You won’t have it easy either if you anger me, my good brother. Figure out your current situation.”
Beike raised his eyebrows. “Are you threatening me?”
Beiyang stood there motionless. “So what if I threatened you? If you could resist, would you still come today?”
Beike’s palm on the armrest of the chair suddenly tightened. He was about to get up when Wei Yu pressed his hand on the back of Beike’s hand and reminded him in a low voice, “Calm down. Don’t ruin my business.”
Beike endured it again and again, forcefully suppressing the anger in his chest. After Wei Yu retracted his hand, he raised his voice and asked, “Where’s my friend?”
Beiyang was very happy. He pointed inside. “Inside.”
However, Beiyang said that verbally. Beike and Wei Yu could not be sure if Pei
Jiao was really inside. She might have been moved. Hence, Wei Yu suggested, “I want to see her first.’
“Of course, but only if…” Beike smiled faintly. “Dr. Wei, you have to show your sincerity before I can let you see her.”
Wei Yu said, “I’m here today to show my sincerity.”
“Brilliant.” Bei Yang was very satisfied. He turned to look at Beike. “My good brother, did you see that? This is the attitude to negotiate with me.”
Beike still did not look happy. “What exactly do you want?”
“Don’t you know what I want?” Beiyang enunciated each word clearly. “The mysterious document you stole from the base.”
Beike said nothing.
On the way here, he had already told Wei Yu that he was the one who stole the mysterious document that was missing from the base. However, he did not steal it the night he went after Wei Yu with Pei Jiao. Instead, he went to the base when Wei Yu left the base and returned to the Wei family.
He had everything just right. The base only discovered it two days after it was stolen.
Which was the night of the accident.
He pretended not to know where Wei Yu was going that night and acted with Pei Jiao along the way, lying to her. After Pei Jiao disappeared for more than a month, he actually knew that Pei Jiao was at the base and that she was very safe. He did not look for her because he had been wandering around with that mysterious document.
It was not until Pei Jiao contacted him for the second time and he settled the mysterious document that he went to pick her up. He had been acting and lying to Pei Jiao. His heart was filled with guilt and uneasiness, so no matter what, he had to bring Pei Jiao back today.
Thinking of this, Beike glanced sideways at Wei Yu. That deep gaze was unfathomable.
Seeing that Beike was silent, Beiyang did not rush him. He had plenty of patience. Martin took a chair and placed it opposite Wei Yu and Beike. Beiyang sat down in it. “Think about it slowly.”
He casually crossed his long legs and looked at Wei Yu and Beike opposite him. He said unhurriedly, “Two for one. Leave the document and you behind.
You can exchange it for her to leave. Otherwise, leave the document and Dr.
Wei behind, this works as well.’
Wei Yu’s eyelids twitched. This outcome was what he had expected before he came. They could either use Beike and that mysterious document to exchange for Pei Jiao’s safety, but if Beike was in Beiyangs hands, he might not have a good ending in the end as the two of them have a long-standing grudge.
But if he stayed, Beiyang would need him, so his life would not be in danger. However, before Wei Yu could speak, Beike’s voice sounded— “He stays.”
These two words were powerful. Beike pointed at Wei Yu, who was sitting at the side, and said word by word, “I’ll hand that mysterious document to you. Wei Yu will also stay. You have to let me go with her.”
Beiyang glanced at the silent Wei Yu and smiled inexplicably. “He’s actually
the righteous one? Why don’t I believe it?”
Beike immediately said to Wei Yu, “Tell them that you’re willing to stay and exchange for Pei Jiao to go back with me!”
Wei Yu stared at Beike for a long time before saying word by word, “Yes, I’m willing to stay and let her go.”
Beike raised his eyebrows. “Did you hear that? He stayed willingly.”
Beiyang chuckled. “I’m curious about how you convinced Dr. Wei to stay in advance.’
Beike’s voice was cold. “No. He owes Pei Jiao this.”
Beiyang saw through Beike. “Dr. Wei owes a love debt and repays it with his courage.. What about you? Will you turn around and take the credit? Kill two birds with one stone?”
