Chapter 1769: Chapter 1769: The One Who Should Let Her Go Is You (2)

Qin Shi looked at Huo Xun’s reaction and mused, "You took a risk."

He opened his eyes, his gaze devoid of any emotion or humor.

"Knowing full well that Yue Siqing is investigating us and may act against us, you should have informed Gu Anjin first. Instead of bringing it up in front of Yue Siqing when Gu Anjin knows nothing. If he decides to kill, you won’t even have the chance to tell Gu Anjin." Qin Shi’s voice was a bit agitated, "He was able to join forces with Qin Wu back then to wipe out my family and the Huo Family, you shouldn’t bet on him showing you mercy!"

Huo Xun still said nothing. He remained silent for a while with no intention of speaking.

It wasn’t until he heard the sound of Qin Shi angrily slamming the door as he left, that he slowly stood up and picked up his phone.

After an unknown period, he dialed Gu Anjin’s number.

"Hello, it’s you again? Or has something happened?"

On the other end, Gu Anjin’s voice turned tense.

Huo Xun closed his eyes slightly and said lazily, "Nothing, just having trouble sleeping."

"You..."

"Anyway, we probably won’t have any chance to meet again. In fact, this might be the last call."

Gu Anjin was obviously stunned, the last call?

"What do you mean? Are you leaving here? Or did Yue Siqing say something?"

"Why are you so nervous?"

"I understand, it’s what he said, right? But it’s okay, while you’re recovering, I should still have the chance to visit you."

Huo Xun had a faint smile on his lips and continued lazily, "Don’t lie to me, you know there’ll be no such opportunity."

Strangely, hearing these words, Gu Anjin felt something odd.

But it didn’t feel like a farewell.

Thinking it over, it could only be something threatening promised by Yue Siqing.

The promised change, it seems, is not to be hoped for.

"I’m going to sleep, goodbye." Huo Xun said no more and hung up the phone.

The lie still couldn’t be said.

The thought turned in his mind countless times only to be abandoned.

Gu Anjin just hung up the phone, feeling uneasy.

Wanting to call him back, she can’t let what happened with Song Yi happen again.

She and Huo Xun are innocent, he’s already been shot, at the very least he can’t be in more trouble.

Moreover, she really wants to prove that Yue Siqing is not beyond redemption.

"Miss Jin, Mr. Arthur is here."

Gu Anjin put down the phone, hesitated for a moment, nodded, and walked to the living room.

Arthur’s steps were a bit fast, and his face didn’t look as calm as usual.

As soon as he entered, he kept staring at her strangely, as if trying to see something from her face.

"Is there something on my face?" Gu Anjin frowned, strangely covering her face and touching it.

Arthur had a complicated tone, walked to the sofa to sit down, and said a bit disappointed, "Jinjin, I thought at least you wouldn’t lie to me."

"What are you talking about?"

"The people who kidnapped you last time." Arthur looked up, looking at her seriously, meeting her eye, "You already know who it was, so why have you been hiding it?"

"I..."

"Didn’t you say he still poses a threat to my brother’s life and he must be found?" Arthur was incredulous.

Whether he wanted to admit it or not, Yue Siqing’s importance in Gu Anjin’s heart was undeniable.

But she didn’t care for his safety?

Gu Anjin’s face went pale for a moment, "Does Brother Siqing know about this?"

Arthur looked solemn, "Of course. Jinjin, you’re hiding this because you know who he is, right?"
