Fast as lighting, Gu Juexi covered Ye Yuwei’s eyes and pulled her into his arms. He then called out for Butler Kim loudly when the b.l.o.o.d.y spheres had finally stopped spinning on the floor.

Eyeb.a.l.l.s. The b.l.o.o.d.y spheres were a pair of eyeb.a.l.l.s!

“Yes, Master?” Butler Kim came to the hall when he heard Gu Juexi, and was shocked to see the eyeb.a.l.l.s on the floor.

“Get rid of those and check who sent the parcel,” ordered Gu Juexi as he carried Ye Yuwei to the couch. He squatted down beside her and looked at her face that had turned ashen.

Ye Yuwei was shocked because instead of the blood, she saw a pair of eyes staring at her when she opened the box. That was why she had screamed.

“It’s okay now,” Gu Juexi held Ye Yuwei’s hands tightly and murmured.

“It’s him,” Ye Yuwei mumbled after calming herself down. She was certain that the man who had allowed them a few days of peace was at it again.

Gu Juexi was thinking the same thing, and figured that he should thank the man for giving him sufficient time for his proposal. Then it occurred to him that this man might be someone close to him, which would explain why he always knew what was going on in the family.

“We must have gotten something wrong, this was to warn us for being blind,” Gu Juexi said softly and kissed the back of Ye Yuwei’s hand before sitting down next to her.

He used to doubt if it was wrong to follow the path that Ye Shu laid down. He didn’t doubt it any more now, because he was sure that something went wrong.

And that mistake had summoned this man.

“Blind?” Not understanding what Gu Juexi meant, Ye Yuwei looked at him curiously.

“I saw a pair of b.l.o.o.d.y eyes in the video when I was investigating the flower pot incident. And today…” Gu Juexi’s phone rang and interrupted the conversation. He whipped out his phone and saw a text message from the person he had hired to search for Aunt Gu. He opened the text message, and showed it to Ye Yuwei after he looked at it.

Although still stunned from what she saw in the parcel, Ye Yuwei was even more shocked when she saw what was on the phone.

It was Aunt Gu.

The body of Aunt Gu with her eyes gouged out.

“Aunt Gu is dead?” Ye Yuwei asked while glancing at the place where the eyeb.a.l.l.s were. Looked like those were Aunt Gu’s eyeb.a.l.l.s.

Gu Juexi threw his phone onto the table and his eyes began to look vague. What exactly did they get wrong, who was this man that was warning them?

[“My father once helped a man to make a set of jewellery using the blood diamond for his fiancée. His fiancée unfortunately pa.s.sed away later, and her family took the jewellery away.”]

Gu Juexi looked up from his phone suddenly and stared at Ye Yuwei.

“What’s wrong?” Ye Yuwei asked, frightened by Gu Juexi’s sudden reaction.

“I think I know why,” Gu Juexi said as he got up quickly from the couch and went to his room upstairs.

Ye Yuwei got up from the couch too and went after Gu Juexi.

Gu Juexi found the diamond necklace that he had confiscated earlier in the headboard. He let the sunlight coming in from the window s.h.i.+ne through the diamond and saw a few strands of red in it.

“Blood diamond,” Gu Juexi uttered while staring at the sapphire necklace dangling before him.

Ye Yuwei stood by the door, clenching her fists. It crossed her mind when Xiao Yaojing told her about it yesterday, but never would she have thought that her necklace was made of the legendary blood diamond.
