Chapter 1417 - I Only Want You (1/2)

They sat on the couch together, after which Pei Yi said, “The people from the headquarters came to discuss the strategies and actions to be taken against the cooperating nations. The nations have already begun attacking us more than a year ago, and the organization has also started planning long ago. No blunders are to be made at all. Putting that aside, Qin Guo, I’m giving you a chance now.”

“Ancestor, what chance…”

“I’ll allow you to leave the DK Organization. Although you’ve made a lot of mistakes in the past, I don’t want you to be implicated any further on account that you’ve worked for me for so many years.”

Qin Guo had never expected to hear those words from him. Shaking her head, she said, “I’m not leaving. I’ll go wherever you go, Ancestor.”

“You’re not leaving? I’m letting you leave and you’re turning the chance down? Have you really thought about it carefully? I’m only going to offer you this chance once. Qin Guo, I’m being serious. Make the right decision while I’m still in power.”

Needless to say, Qin Guo definitely was not aware of Pei Yi’s plans, for he would never inform her about what he and Jing Chu were intending to do.

“I’m not leaving. I’ve thought about it carefully. I’m an orphan anyway. I’ve been working for you and been through thick and thin with you for so many years. I don’t wish to leave you.”

“I”m only letting you leave on account of your loyalty to me. It’s all for your own good. Don’t be silly and make life hard for yourself.”

“I’m destined to live like this for the rest of my life. I don’t have any intentions to leave at all, so Ancestor, don’t bring this up again,” said Qin Guo.

“You must think that I never found out about the email that you sent to Tian Tian in the past, don’t you?”

Qin Guo spluttered in surprise, “Ancestor, I…”

Pei Yi said, “Enough, you don’t have to explain anymore. It’s all in the past now. You may go out.”

Qin Guo nodded and left the room, closing the door after her.

Jing Chu asked softly, “Did those people come to use you as a tool?”

Staring at her in surprise, Pei Yi said, “Not bad, my wife is getting smarter.”

“Really?”

“They discussed a plan with me to launch an attack on H Nation in a week’s time. They wanted me to make the first move and get the plan going. There may be lots of people in Mount Qingping but don’t be fooled. They may seem compliant to me on the surface, but they’re actually loyal to the headquarters instead.”

“I can tell that Qin Guo really fancies you.”

“How could you tell?”

“With both my eyes. Women’s intuitions are always very accurate. I guess she’s been carrying a torch for you for years. She probably never dared to confess her feelings for you for fear that she would infuriate you.”

He scoffed and said, “If she ever dares to admit that she has feelings for me, I definitely wouldn’t allow her to stay by my side. She knows that more than anyone else does. I will never fancy my subordinates.”

Jing Chu burst into laughter and asked, “Do you find Qin Guo pretty, then?”

“She’s fine.”

“I think she’s rather pretty, actually. She’s just too scheming.”

“I agree, but she’d have to be scheming in order to work for me. However, she’s just a small fry.” He leaned against her and pressed her down onto the couch. Staring at her tan skin, he smiled and said, “You’re almost becoming like charcoal…”

“Why? Do you despise me now?”
