Dongguo Heixin's worst fears had materialized, even Gao Fei's intervention was not enough to appease Xiahou Wei...
"What should we do now?" Dongguo Heixin panicked: "I can't just wait around for death, can I? Gao Fei! You can't just abandon !" Dongguo Heixin had latched onto Gao Fei for sure.
"Don't worry." Gao Fei waved his hand: "I've already figured out an escape plan for you."
"An escape plan? What escape plan?"
"I'll send you away overnight and find you a safe place to hide. I guarantee that Xiahou Wei will never find you."
"You an... you want to live like a coward in hiding, forever shrouded in darkness?"
"For now, this is the only way, I hope you can understand."
"I can't understand! I can't accept it! I refuse to be a coward! I absolutely refuse!"
"Calm down and listen to ..."
"I won't listen!" Dongguo Heixin roared loudly: "Gao Fei, you definitely haven't tried your hardest! Otherwise, with your current power, you could definitely suppress Xiahou Wei! You could even eliminate Xiahou Wei directly!"
Gao Fei frowned: "What are you talking about? You want to eliminate Xiahou Wei? How could I! What kind of person do you think I am!"
"Gao Fei, I'll ask you just one question: Are you going to help or not!" Dongguo Heixin said through gritted teeth.
"I've always been helping you. For your sake, I've racked my brains..."
"Enough, don't deceive . Whether you've tried your best, I know very well in my heart."
"You..." Gao Fei was about to speak when Dongguo Heixin interrupted him.
Taking a deep breath, Dongguo Heixin then said slowly: "Now that it has co to this, I have no choice but to play my trump card! Gao Fei! Do you want to know Shangguan Yunyue's whereabouts?"
"Uh!" Gao Fei suddenly stood up, his eyes bulging: "You... do you know Shangguan Yunyue's whereabouts? Didn't you say you didn't know?"
"I lied to you before." Dongguo Heixin humphed: "I know Shangguan Yunyue's movents like the back of my hand."
"Damn it!" Gao Fei was furious: "Since you know, why did you hide it from ? What exactly is your intention."
"It's not that I wanted to hide it from you, it's that Shangguan Yunyue didn't allow to tell you."
"Impossible!"
"Believe it or not, but I'm speaking the truth."
"Then tell ! Where is Shangguan Yunyue?" Gao Fei glared and demanded: "I'm warning you, if you dare to deceive , I will never let you off!" Gao Fei had never given up searching for Shangguan Yunyue. He had thought of many ways and sent out a lot of people, but still hadn't found Shangguan Yunyue.
"If you want to know Shangguan Yunyue's whereabouts, then you'll have to deal with Xiahou Wei for ." Dongguo Heixin began to set conditions.
Gao Fei's expression turned grim: "Fine! You tell , and I'll definitely deal with Xiahou Wei for you!"
"You deal with Xiahou Wei first, then I'll tell you."
"How can I trust you? What if you're lying to ?"
"I pledge on my reputation, I am definitely not deceiving you! I can give you a hint; Shangguan Yunyue's disappearance has a significant connection with you. In other words, Shangguan Yunyue went missing because of you."
"Where did she go!" Gao Fei asked loudly: "Tell !!!"
"Like I said, you take care of Xiahou Wei, then I'll tell you. I'm tired, I'm going to rest now, waiting for your good news." After dropping those words, Dongguo Heixin walked away with his hands behind his back, striding confidently, humming a pleased tune to himself. Shangguan Yunyue was a major trump card in his hand; as long as he played it, Gao Fei was bound to concede.
Bastard!
This bastard!!!
The deception hurts so much!
Knowing full well where Shangguan Yunyue was, yet not telling him, was truly infuriating!
Gao Fei rushed to find He Hentian, "You must help !"
"What's wrong?" He Hentian put down his teacup and asked in surprise.
"Help handle Xiahou Wei, I don't care how you do it, but you must take care of Xiahou Wei and stop him from troubling Dongguo Heixin."
"I've told you before, I can't do that, nor do I want to."
"Are we friends?"
"Of course, we are."
"Now I'm in trouble, can you bear not helping ?"
"It's not that I don't want to help you, it's that I really can't... Xiahou Wei belongs to Liu Yifei, I can't order him around."
"Then you go find Liu Yifei, have Liu Yifei talk to Xiahou Wei."
"Who do you think I am? Do you think Liu Yifei would listen to ? Gao Fei, I know you want to repay a favor, but you need to recognize your own strength. Knowing you can't do it ans you shouldn't try, or you'll bring disaster upon yourself," He Hentian advised earnestly, "I'm looking out for you. Dongguo Heixin deserves to pay with his life for killing soone's wife."
Gao Fei was silent for a mont, then said hoarsely, "Do you rember telling you... that the woman I love disappeared..."
"Oh, I rember, her na is Shangguan Yunyue."
"Dongguo Heixin knows where Shangguan Yunyue is."
"What?"
"Dongguo Heixin said, as long as I take care of Xiahou Wei, he'll tell Shangguan Yunyue's whereabouts. For Yunyue, I have to help him."
"Could he be deceiving you?"
"He shouldn't be, he's sworn an oath. I'm willing to take a gamble because Shangguan Yunyue ans too much to ."
"Turns out it's all because of a woman..." He Hentian's face showed a troubled expression, "Since that's the case, then I'll help you. I'll go find Liu Yifei right now, hopefully Liu Yifei will grant so favor." He Hentian left with a sigh.
Gao Fei didn't idle either, he went to see Xiahou Wei once more, promising him various benefits, hoping Xiahou Wei would show rcy and let Dongguo Heixin off the hook.
"Why are you here again? Aren't you annoying!" Xiahou Wei's face turned ashen as he said angrily, "I've made myself clear, I am definitely not letting Dongguo Heixin off! He killed my wife, and I'll make him pay with his life!"
"Even if you kill Dongguo Heixin, your wife won't co back to life."
"At least I've avenged her, allowing her to rest in peace in the netherworld."
"Consider this as owing you a favor, if there's anything you need in the future, just ask..."
"Enough, don't say another word. Even if you talk till the end of ti, I won't change my mind. 'An eye for an eye' is only just."
"Dongguo Heixin didn't do it on purpose, it was an accident, you should give him a chance to make ands, he's the number one divine doctor in the world, isn't he? He's saved countless lives, if you really lay your hands on Dongguo Heixin, you might incite public outrage."
"Trying to scare ?" Xiahou Wei snorted coldly, "Do you think I'm a three-year-old child? That easy to scare?"
"No, no, I'm not trying to scare you, I'm just speaking to the facts..."
"Let ask you, if it were you, would you forgive Dongguo Heixin?"
"I... probably would..."
"You're lying! Your wife has died, and yet you could forgive the murderer, your magnanimity is indeed too broad," Xiahou Wei said sarcastically.
"My greatest virtue is my broad-mindedness; I'm open to all rivers..." Gao Fei responded.
"Enough, stop boasting," Xiahou Wei said impatiently, waving his hand, "I've said all I need to say, if you have nothing else, please leave. I'm very busy and don't have the ti to chat idly with you."
