PA Wen was stunned for a moment. His eyes shifted to look at Gu Juexi’s hands.

There was a heavy downpour outside. The sound of the rain tapping on the window was very unpleasant at this time.

PA Wen knew exactly what was going on in the CEO’s mind.

If Yu Jiangqing’s mother had not disappeared suddenly in the past, Yu Jiangqing would definitely not let that man off so easily.

However, once Yu Jiangqing killed someone—

PA Wen looked at Gu Juexi with concern in his eyes. That man’s sudden appearance had pushed the matter into a dead end.

The black ink spilled on Gu Juexi’s hand and dripped slowly onto the table, leaving behind an obvious stain.

Cheng Jie was waiting for Yu Jiangqing to kill, because he wanted to see if Yu Jiangqing was heartless. He wanted to see whether he was cruel. He wanted to see if Yu Jiangqing had really abandoned his principles as a soldier.

Gu Juexi was afraid that if Yu Jiangqing killed someone in China, it would be a black dot that could never be erased, even if that person deserved to die.

Ten years ago, that plan was made without a word spoken about it. It was a battle between life and death.

He was indestructible in the light.

He was also dangerous in the dark.

“There has been some trouble in the East lately,” Gu Juexi said as he reached out for a paper towel. He started wiping the ink off his hands.

PA Wen hurriedly said, “I understand, CEO. I will go over now.” He quickly turned and left.

Instead of beating Yu Jiangqing to death in the open, they might as well find a reason to capture him first. Whatever comes after would no longer be their issue.

It was almost time to get off work, but the rain was still pouring heavily.

Ouyang Xianxin had already changed out of her working clothes, when Ye Yuwei was still sitting there comparing data. “Yuwei, the rain is too heavy. Everyone has already gotten off work early. You should go home earlier; these data will not be completed in a day or two.”

Ye Yuwei looked up at Ouyang Xianxin who was already carrying her bag in her hand. “Sister Xin, you should go back first. I am almost done here. This problem is not too complicated. I will go back when I solve this.”

“Alright,” Ouyang Xianxin replied, then turned and left.

Ye Yuwei bowed her head and continued to check and compare the data that has been provided to her. The heavy downpour outside did not seem to bother her.

When Gu Juexi came in, he saw Ye Yuwei engrossed in her work.

It was the first time he had seen Ye Yuwei at work.

She could see the problems in the data at a glance. Ever since she was appointed as a manager immediately after she graduated from university, she had been granting loan cases without making a single mistake. Gu Juexi admitted that the case involving Geng Yisheng was a mistake. If that incident had not happened, Ye Yuwei would undoubtedly be the queen in the banking industry who had never made a single mistake.

“Sister Xin, I will be done soon. You don’t need to—” Ye Yuwei said without lifting her head, as she had thought that Sister Xin was worried about her and came back to accompany her. The moment she looked up, the smile on her face disappeared instantly.

“Manager Ye is really dedicated. All the employees have already left and yet the manger is still busy at work,” Gu Juexi said as he approached Ye Yuwei. He pressed his hands against her table and leaned towards her. “Is Mrs. Gu working so hard because it is Gu Bank?” Gu Juexi asked, deliberately emphasizing the word, “Mrs. Gu”.

Ye Yuwei leaned back against her chair to avoid his warm breath against her face. “Mr. Gu is getting more and more thick skinned. I am just doing my job as an ethical professional,” Ye Yuwei retorted to Gu Juexi’s dissing.
