Chapter 1001 - Roundabout Flight
The helicopter maintained a calm and level flight. Ye Yuwei wrangled her way into the cockpit and got into the copilot’s seat.
“Why are you so good at everything?” Ye Yuwei asked, impressed with Mo Fei’s many skills.
“To survive,” Mo Fei looked at Ye Yuwei and replied with a smile, “I hate to break it to you but it’s too late for you to become like me now. Speaking of which, I thought you would part ways with your man.”
Ye Yuwei was rather embarrassed when Mo Fei said her secret out loud. She had to admit, she did want to be like her. If she was as competent as Mo Fei, Gu Juexi would definitely keep her by his side and not chase her away like he was doing now.
Ye Yuwei cupped her chin sulkily as she looked at the night sky and said, “I really envy you.”
Mo Fei laughed hysterically. It was her first time hearing that someone envied her job as a killer. They simply did not reveal their hardships and ordeals to the public eyes, so nobody knew how tough it really was.
“If I let you go now, can you promise me?” Ye Yuwei turned her gaze to Mo Fei suddenly.
“Don’t be silly, your man will kill me.” Mo Fei rejected her idea immediately. “And I think Gu Juexi is right this time. The second, third and fourth in ranking are there. If their meeting escalates to death fight, you will become his liability in the end.”
“What if we hide in the dark?” Ye Yuwei began again, “With your skills, hiding without anyone knowing is a piece of cake, right?”
Mo Fei opened her mouth to protest, but she ended up laughing. “A bunch of sly foxes.”
“Think about it, if Wen Chenghao really decides to fight to the death with Gu Juexi, we can lend a hand if he is in trouble. Oh, it’s you—” Ye Yuwei said excitedly as if she had just thought of something.
Mo Fei remained quiet this time. She could almost see the gears turning in Ye Yuwei’s mind.
“Last time when Gu Juexi confronted Cheng Jie, it was at sea. It won’t end badly if we had a helicopter standby as backup. This time, if it’s at sea again, I think it is feasible,” Ye Yuwei suggested and blinked innocently at Mo Fei.
“Your guy will kill me,” Mo Fei protested again.
“Don’t you have me?” Ye Yuwei made a counteroffer. “If you help me, I promise you Brother Qian will be off your back from now on.”
Mo Fei’s eyes darted around as she pondered. “No can do, you have to make sure that hypocrite doesn’t pursue me once and for all.”
“Okay, deal!” Ye Yuwei shrieked excitedly and raised her hand for a high five.
Mo Fei deviated her flight path but shot a skeptical glare at the delighted Ye Yuwei. “Are you telling me that the pathetic and heartbreaking scene earlier was an act exclusively for your man?”
“You don’t know Gu Juexi that well, he is very cynical and crafty.”
“I know it very clearly.”
Ye Yuwei blinked awkwardly.
Mo Fei grabbed a gun from her waistband and passed it to Ye Yuwei. “Just in case.”
Ye Yuwei lowered her gaze to the gun in her hands and stared at it solemnly. The last time she had held a gun was when she shot and killed Cheng Jie.
She had refused to hold a gun ever since.
“But you have to promise me: do not leave my line of sight and do not expose yourself,” Mo Fei commanded in a serious voice.
“Don’t worry, I swear I won’t be a burden to Gu Juexi,” Ye Yuwei asserted, looking at Mo Fei.
Mo Fei was still doubtful but since she had already changed their flight route, it was too late to turn back.
They were a den of sly foxes, where one was more sly than the other. Earlier, she had thought Ye Yuwei was a decent and honest woman. She had not expected such deviousness from her.
