Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After Ye Yuwei admitted her defeat, Gu Juexi picked up the glass again. “Take a step back and think carefully, which woman have you had a problem with?”

Ye Yuwei listened to his question and pondered the matter seriously. “Besides Bai Yuyan, there is only Yu Sha-sha. Bai Yuyan is already dead. As for Yu Sha-sha, how do I know if you are willing to kill her or not?”

There was a faint hint of jealousy in her last sentence.

Gu Juexi put the glass down and gently circled his finger around the edge of the glass. Ye Yuwei squinted at him as his attitude was rather peculiar.

“Yu Sha-sha is as dead as a doornail, you don’t have to think about her anymore,” Gu Juexi said quietly.

“That’s even more impossible. Who could I have offended?” Ye Yuwei shouted in surprise. In this world, there were only those two women who hated her to the bone. She couldn’t think of anyone else.

Bai Yuyan had died right in front of her. Since Gu Juexi claimed that Yu Sha-sha was dead, then she was really dead, although Ye Yuwei wasn’t sure how or when.

Ye Yuwei returned to her thoughts and speculated, “If it’s not them, there is only this other woman whom both of us know, the one that I met after I came back. She is your company’s employee, ermmm what’s she called... Lin Ximei. Yes, right! It’s Lin Ximei!”

Ye Yuwei had some disagreement with Lin Ximei when the resort was under renovation, but that was a disagreement at work. Moreover, she didn’t look like someone from a crime syndicate background.

Gu Juexi continued tapping the edge of the glass gently without denying anything.

“It can’t be,” Ye Yuwei said, her eyes wide. Her expression was cute in the eyes of Gu Juexi.

“What else do you remember about Lin Ximei?” Gu Juexi asked suddenly.

“She is an interior designer, and I must admit that her ideas and designs are pretty exceptional. She is also one of the top executives in your company, head of the design department. Very talented, but also very bossy and pompous,” Ye Yuwei reminisced. It wasn’t too long ago, so she could remember a lot about her.

Gu Juexi raised his eyebrow, gesturing for her to continue.

“But, it doesn’t make sense. Frankly, I thought she was quite a coward,” Ye Yuwei scratched her cheek and said earnestly, “The other day, only one command from you and she was doomed, wasn’t she?”

“Then?” Gu Juexi asked.

“Then you fired her,” Ye Yuwei said innocently.

Gu Juexi lowered his head and laughed lightly. He gently turned the glass that was half full. “The head of the design department, the top executive, and she still needed to employ all those means to see me? Ye Yuwei, don’t you think something isn’t right?”

Ye Yuwei was dumbfounded. ‘Sorry, I don’t think there is anything wrong here. After all, anything is normal when things happen to you.’

“So, you didn’t fire her?” Ye Yuwei asked hesitantly.

“No, no... Wait a minute.” Ye Yuwei thought of something suddenly, raised her hand and covered his mouth to shut him up. “Did you, literally, use me to get rid of a mole for you?”

“What are you talking about?” Gu Juexi stared at Ye Yuwei in disdain.

“Yes, go on, play dumb,” Ye Yuwei hissed contemptously and kicked him. He didn’t walk away and stayed put so she could vent her rage.

“I did alert you then,” Gu Juexi said as seriously as he could.

“Hold on, stop lying to me. If I recall correctly, you treated Lin Ximei the same way you would treat any employee that you dislike,” Ye Yuwei blurted. She couldn’t figure out anything that didn’t fall into place in this matter.

Gu Juexi lifted his hand to touch his nose. “Fine, let’s just say that she was an eyesore to me, so I had someone investigate her.”
