Chapter 894: What Did She Say Wrong Again

Baili Xia didn’t know that Guisu had been following them, not even Zimo had noticed.

It could only be said that he didn’t follow closely and, moreover, he did so very cautiously.

In this regard, Baili Xia was quite satisfied, after all, she didn’t hope for conflicts to arise between Guisu and Zimo.

“Do you need something from me?” she asked as she walked up to Guisu, looking up at the man who was a head taller than herself.

Guisu, however, didn’t speak, simply watching her silently.

“The three-month deadline hasn’t arrived yet, so if you come to me now, I can’t give you an answer.”

“You should be aware that this matter isn’t easy to investigate.” At least, Guisu was someone who valued promises, so a three-month period meant exactly that.

When Guisu came to find her at this time, she wasn’t scared.

Guisu nodded slightly, still not speaking.

This behavior somewhat baffled Baili Xia.

Could it be he was here not to inquire about Lu Xuening’s whereabouts?

Then, what was he here to do?

Guisu glanced at her faintly: “I was just passing by and saw you…”

“So you followed?” Following her without asking about Lu Xuening’s news, wasn’t this a bit strange?

Guisu probably ran out of topics to discuss, so after another glance at her, he suddenly turned to leave without a word.

It was Baili Xia who was left feeling ambiguous, and seeing him leave, she subconsciously chased after him: “Guisu.”

Guisu stopped and turned back to look at her: “Is there something?”

“Nothing much, just wanted to ask where you are staying now? What are you doing?”

Seeing the fleeting guardedness in his eyes, Baili Xia pursed her thin lips, muttering to herself.

“You came to me on your own, and when I ask a few more questions, your guard goes up so high, is it necessary?”

“Sorry, it’s just a habit,” replied Guisu, realizing that his look may have hurt her.

He turned around and approached her.

“I’m staying in a small inn nearby, and as for what I’m doing, it’s not convenient to tell you.”

“Are you working as an enforcer for someone?” Other than that, she didn’t know what else he could be doing.

There seemed to be a small gambling den nearby, was he working for someone in the underground gambling scene?

“My business is none of your concern.” Realizing his tone might be too harsh, Guisu lapsed into silence for a moment before he added.

“No other meaning, just want to tell you, you don’t need to worry about anything for me.”

“I’m not worried…”

Before she could finish her sentence, Guisu’s expression changed, and he turned to leave once more.

Baili Xia really felt confused by him, unable to react in time.

She chased after him again, staring at his profile: “Did I say something wrong? Why did your expression change all of a sudden?”

Guisu still didn’t speak, only his rugged face grew even more unsightly.

Baili Xia fiddled with her fingers, still unclear about what she might have said wrong.

However, it was rare for Guisu to be willing to talk to her now, completely devoid of any hostility, and suddenly she saw hope.

Actually, Guisu wasn’t a bad person, he just hadn’t been shown the right path to take.

If he was working for someone in a nearby underground gambling establishment, it would be very dangerous.

His right hand wasn’t healed, relying entirely on his left, what if he couldn’t beat his opponents?

Moreover, no matter what, this was not an upright path.

He had a proper path he could take, there was no need to risk himself here, living in perennial darkness.

He walked so fast, and she found it hard to keep up: “Guisu, can’t we talk for a moment?”
