"Kai, you are out of your mind!" Jay shouted, "You're betraying Brother Wesley if you cooperate with her like that!"
"Betrayal is better than regret!" Kai's attitude was tougher than ever, "Put down the gun and go back to the car!"
Yuna observed the situation. She moved the gun slowly away from Kai's head and pointed at Jason. With a sound, a bullet ran through the silencer and shot out with sparkles. It rushed out by Jason's ear.
And Jason who was known for his accurate aiming barely saw Yuna's movement, not to mention how Yuna aimed in such a dark condition.
Yuna's voice was cold, "Do as Kai told you. Or else, the bullet will do more than pass by your ears.
"Kai!" Jay tightly held the gun in his hand and tried to persuade Kai into changing his mind.
Kai interrupted Jay immediately, "I've thought it through and I know what I'm doing now. Go back to the car and wait for me."
"What about the consequences? Have you thought about that?" Jay asked.
Kai answered firmly and clearly, "Of course."
Jay finally stopped talking. He signaled Jason to follow him into the car. Right at the moment they closed the door, Kai locked the car and turned on the signal jammer inside the car.
They would be unable to reach Wesley unless they crashed the window and ran out.
Yuna finally asked Kai, "Why did you help me? We could act a scene."
According to Yuna's plan, she should be the one to defeat Jason and Jay. Then she could escape from Kai's control. Thus, Kai could be out of suspicion. Even if Wesley wanted to blame someone for her escape, Kai wouldn't be the one.
But Kai allowed her to capture him in front of Jay. Then her escape would all be Kai's fault.
"You wouldn't be able to defeat Jay and Jason at the same time. Besides, they would have found a chance to get in touch with Brother Wesley," Kai said, "You can run away successful only if I help you."
"Have you thought that..."
Yuna was interrupted by Kai before she could finish talking. Kai was extremely bright over this. "I have." He stopped for a minute and then continued, "In fact, I was just making a bet."
"On what?" Yuna couldn't understand Kai's meaning at the moment.
Kai shook his head, "I'll find some time to tell you later. You should leave now. It's not difficult for them to crack a signal jammer."
Yuna took a look a Jason who was crazily patting on the door and nodded. Then she followed Kai and their figures rapidly disappear in the darkness.
Kai led Yuna around and soon they arrived at the other road on the hill. By the side of the road stood a useful SUV.
It was apparent that Yuna didn't expect Kai to even prepare a car for her. She thought for a second and said, "Thank you."
"There's no need. In fact, I'm the one who should say thanks." Kai pulled out a smile. "Brother Wesley made you investigate me on purpose. If you had pulled me into trouble at that moment, Brother Wesley would definitely have sent me to a deserted land, telling you that I had been killed. But you didn't. You were really kind to me. It's not a big deal for me to do such a little favor for you."
Yuna shook her head. "Kai, you think I didn't get you into trouble because of kindness? Why don't you think-I shouldn't anyways."
"I don't care. I just know that you didn't." Kai gave the car keys to Yuna, "There's a backpack in the car. Your fake ID is inside, as well as cash and some bullets. That's all I can do for you."
"It's enough." Yuna took over the keys. "Kai, I owe you one. I'll repay you by the time I finish my work."
Kai smiled and realized something abnormal. He caught Yuna's hand. "What's the deal? What do you mean about work?"
Yuna knew she had said something she shouldn't. There was something in her eyes but she quickly covered it with a smile. "Of course I mean avenging my grandma. What I mean is that I wouldn't hurt you when I come back for Wesley."
Kai's eyes became very deep. "Yuna, in fact..."
"I should go." Yuna sensed what Kai was going to say and quickly interrupted him, "Goodbye."
Being interrupted like this and recalling Wesley's words, Kai didn't mention the truth. He just nodded. "Bye."
Yuna gave Kai a bright smile and stepped backwards. Then she opened the door of the car and got on the driver's seat. At last, she started the car and drove downhill.
The whole process went smoothly without a second of hesitation.
Once she left, she might not return ever again. She was afraid she would reveal something once she stopped.
In fact, she knew. She knew everything.
She knew Wesley was not the real murderer of her grandma. She knew the so-called truth the police had was fake.
She also knew whom she should find to get her revenge.
Wesley once asked her why she believed he was the murderer of her grandma and why she thought he would do such a horrible thing to an old woman.
She firmly told Wesley that he was that kind of person, so he had to be the murderer without asking him why.
It was because she knew better than anyone else that Wesley wasn't like that, and he would definitely not hurt an innocent old woman.
From the very beginning, she didn't believe the murderer was Wesley.
For her, the best choice would have been to stay and become Wesley's follower. Then she could help him against Rowdy.
But, even if Wesley was willing to keep her, she didn't know how to face Joanne and Chris. Besides, according to the current circumstances, it would be the most beneficial if she went back to Rowdy.
As for the risks of going back with him, she didn't care anymore. Life had lost its meaning since the moment her grandma had left.
However, although she thought that way, her heart still ached when she was about to leave.
She didn't want to admit the fact that she didn't want to leave Wesley.
The true reason why she was going back to Rowdy's side would be discovered someday. But there was no Kai next to Rowdy who would take risks for her. It would be impossible for her to escape by then.
If she stayed with Wesley, he would leave her at a dead end. If she went back to Rowdy, death would also be in front of her.
She could only tell herself that there was death in everyone's lives. An early death might be a relief.
Thinking about it, Yuna wiped her watery eyes. She stepped on the accelerator and sped up to leave.
Soon, the last light of the car disappeared from Kai's sight.
Kai was relieved. He turned around to go back, but ended stumbling with some root. Then he realized he had given the night goggles to Yuna. He mentally cursed, then turned on his phone's flashlight and made his way back.
When he returned, Jay and Jason had just cracked the lock and gotten out of the car. They shot him annoyed glares, then they took out their phones.
"It's no use trying to call Brother Wesley now," Kai said, "Yuna is gone. Oh, and she has a car."
"You prepared a car for her?" Jay was upset as he put down the phone. "Kai, aren't you afraid that Brother Wesley may punish you?"
"Of course I'm afraid." Kai shrugged and smiled. "But, it's difficult to say whether Brother Wesley will punish me or not."
"..." Both Jason and Jay thought Kai was dreaming-the three of them couldn't finish the task of killing someone. How could Brother Wesley go easy on them?
"Just wait and see." Kai got in the car and kicked Jason who was on the driver's seat, "Let's go. Take me to the old house."
Jason started the car and said, "Are you going to turn your life in? You should run away with Yuna, or Brother Wesley will send you to the frontier of Vietnam."
"I wish he sends me to a deserted land." Kai yawned. "Then I will have a long holiday."
"..." Jay and Jason were completely speechless.
In a short while, they reached the old house of the Hayes Family. Kai got out and turned around to say to the two men in the car, "You can go back now."
"We shouldn't." Jay reached poked his head out and said to Kai, "We can ask Brother Wesley to forgive you if he wants to kill you."
Kai,"...Fuck off!"
He directly went into the house and saw Aunt Helen cleaning some antiques in the living room. He greeted to Aunt Helen and asked, "Where is Brother Wesley?"
Aunt Helen pointed at the second floor, "He's in the room. He slept all day woke up until dusk. Then he said he was hungry and told me to cook something for him. But he didn't come down until the noodles I made for him turned cold."
Kai asked confused, "Why don't you go and ask him?"
Aunt Helen shook her head smilingly, "I don't dare to call him at the moment. Well, the affair he told you to deal with... how did it go?"
"Yuna escaped." After a pause, Kai continued, "I released her."
Aunt Helen thought about it. "That's good. Yuna is still alive. So it's not too late if Xiao Qi regrets."
"Aunt Helen, I did the right thing, right?" Kai smiled. "Help me stop Brother Wesley if he wants to beat me to death."
Then, Kai went to the second floor.
When he was about to get to Wesley's door, Kai's steps slowed down.
The old house of the Hayes Family was like the safety harbor for Wesley. Every time he ran into something, he liked to go home and sleep.
But he had never locked himself in the house for a whole day.
Maybe this time he was really sad.
After standing by the door for quite a while, Kai finally knocked but there was no sound inside. So he knocked again.
After quite a while, he finally heard Wesley's voice. "Aunt Helen, I'm not hungry."
His voice was very low and husky. Kai felt sad after hearing his voice.
"Brother Wesley, it's me," Kai said, "I'm back."
"..."
This time, Wesley kept quiet for a long time as if he had not heard him.
Kai imagined-maybe Wesley was afraid to hear the result?
If so, he had made the right guess.
While thinking, Kai pushed the door open and what he saw was a complete darkness. After quite a while, his eyes were accustomed and he saw Wesley standing by the room's window...
