“You talk a lot of nonsense.” Beike’s expression was cold. “Isn’t it just that document? Now that I’ve agreed to give you the document and Wei Yu is staying, aren’t you satisfied?”
Beiyang didn’t like Beike talking to him with such an attitude. He warned with a treacherous smile, “Figure out your current situation and who you’re talking to.”
Beike’s jaw tightened as he suppressed his anger. This defeated and forbearing look made Beiyang especially happy. He turned to look at the silent Wei Yu. “Doctor Wei, are you really willing to stay?”
Wei Yu replied without hesitation, “Yes.”
“Delightful, but…” The smile on Beiyangs lips faded. “You’d better record a voluntary video. Only then can I keep you in peace. Otherwise, if you go back on your word halfway, it will be very troublesome for me to deal with it if the matter blows up.”
Beiyang had his own concerns. He kidnapped Pei Jiao, his mercenaries would be able to withstand the Pei family’s anger.
However, if he ‘forcefully abducted’ Wei Yu, it was a small matter to endure the Wei family’s anger. One had to know that Wei Yu had an entire base behind him. That entire base represented the interests of the country, so they
naturally could not afford to provoke it.
Wei Yu, on the other hand, was very calm from the beginning to the end, as if no words could cause ripples in his eyes. He turned to look at the aggressive Beiyang and was in no hurry to answer. Instead, he picked up the glass of wine and took a sip. He was elegant, like a guest.
Beiyangs eyes lit up. “Dr. Wei, how’s my wine?”
“It burns.” Wei Yu enunciated each word clearly. “But I drank it anyway.”
The smile in Beiyangs eyes was so thick that it could not be dispelled. He clapped in satisfaction. “How satisfying. Just based on Dr. Wei’s sincerity, I’ll let her go immediately as soon as the document is in my hands.”
Beike turned to look at Wei Yu and wanted to say something, but he stopped himself in the end.
Half an hour later, Pei Jiao sat in a car leaving the villa. The driver was Beike, and they were alone in the car.
Beike drove very quickly and attentively. Along the way, Pei Jiao asked many questions. Beike only chose some answers and did not reply to the most important ones. Pei Jiao was probably angry. Her calm tone suddenly rose.
“Stop the car!”
Beike naturally would not listen to Pei Jiao. He maintained a steady speed and continued driving. He asked with a smile, “Why are you stopping the car? It’s a long way. Are you planning to walk back?”
Pei Jiao was also stubborn. “Just walk! Stop the car.”
The smile on Beike’s lips faded. “After surviving a calamity, can you behave yourself?”
Pei Jiao’s heart was in a mess, but Beike always played dumb. At this moment, she had a plan. She made a feint of snatching the steering wheel, and Beike blocked her hand. “You don’t care about your life, but I cherish my life. Stop fooling around.”
Pei Jiao said angrily, “I’ve asked you so many times along the way. Where did
Wei Yu go? Why didn’t you give me a straight answer? Is he still up there?”
“He went back a long time ago.” Beike’s expression did not change as he said calmly, “I was the one who came to pick you up alone. When Wei Yu found out that you had been kidnapped, he insisted on following me. I couldn’t dissuade him, so I brought him here.”
Pei Jiao said, “And then? Why did he leave again?”
Beike held the steering wheel with one hand. “Before I came, I told him that there was a high chance that Beiyang wouldn’t let him in. He didn’t believe me and insisted on following me. See, he was chased back before he even entered the door.’
Pei Jiao snorted. “Do you think I’ll believe you?”
Beike’s expression was calm as he replied lightly, “It’s up to you to believe it or not. Anyway, he’s sticking to you like a plaster. You might see him when you get back. What’s the hurry?”
Perhaps this sentence was too natural. Pei Jiao felt that it might really be as
Beike had said. Wei Yu was fine, but he had just been chased away…
That’s not right…
Pei Jiao frowned, and her expression became much more serious than before. “When you came, I knew that after that subordinate came in to report to Beiyang, I clearly saw that Beiyang was very surprised by Wei Yu’s arrival. He even claimed that he was Dr. Wei. How could he be chased away without even seeing the door?! ”
Beike: ‘
Pei Jiao was smart. Sometimes, she was too smart, making it difficult for Beike’s lie to continue. Beike raised his hand to his temple, but his expression did not change as he continued to insist on that excuse. “He’s already gone back. If you don’t believe me, there’s nothing I can do. It’s up to you.”
Pei Jiao was silent. Faced with Beike’s words, she wanted to question him again, but she could not say anything because it made her seem very willful. She also hoped that it was really as Beike had said. Wei Yu had already gone back..
