Chapter 1771: Chapter 1771: The One Who Should Let Her Go Is You (4)

Yue Siqing had evidently been sitting there for a long time.

He only raised his head upon hearing Arthur’s voice, his expression unreadable, with features looking deep under the light.

"What’s wrong with Jinjin?" he asked casually.

"Where is Huo Xun?" Arthur approached the desk, his brows tightly furrowed, "Jinjin and I have been searching for him for several hours, but we can’t find him. He seems to have disappeared. Just tell me you haven’t done anything to him, I told Jinjin not to worry."

"Why does she care if Huo Xun is dead or alive?" Yue Siqing’s tone changed subtly.

Arthur was focused on giving Jinjin an answer and didn’t notice the shift in Yue Siqing’s demeanor, "Of course, otherwise we wouldn’t have searched for so long. Big brother, no matter what grievances you have with him, at least for Jinjin’s sake... don’t make her too upset. It’s the first time in years I’ve seen her care about someone’s life other than yours. Even if you don’t love her, at least don’t be so heartless. He did save Jinjin’s life."

He clenched his jaw tightly.

These years, he’s been by Jinjin’s side, watching her get rejected by Yue Siqing again and again.

Long ago, he wanted to tell her that this world isn’t just about that one man.

But he knew Jinjin, saying that would be useless.

The Gu Family’s nature in relationships is particularly stubborn; you couldn’t pull them back with nine oxen.

At least now, Jinjin has someone else in her eyes, which for her is already a possibility to break free from Yue Siqing’s world.

Maybe this person isn’t him, but as long as this person won’t hurt her, not like Yue Siqing, who’s been unresponsive to her years of dedication, it’s worth it for her to change.

If Huo Xun was killed by Yue Siqing, he couldn’t imagine what changes would occur in her.

At least he could see that Jinjin didn’t want anything bad to happen to Huo Xun. And especially not because of Yue Siqing.

Above all, she didn’t want to see this ruthless and heartless side of Yue Siqing.

"He’s fine." Yue Siqing’s face was terse as he suddenly stood up, "I don’t know where he is, that’s his freedom."

His long-deceased younger brother appeared before him with resentment, and the most important woman in his life began caring about that person.

As Yue Siqing left the office, he closed his eyes tightly.

What use is there in thinking about these things now?

"Please, your young master is missing, how can you not search for him?"

"I know, I know! But, do you have no doubts about his words at all?"

"Just because Grandpa Murphy isn’t around doesn’t mean you can neglect him like this. What if something happens to him?"

"Me? Of course, I don’t know if something happened to him, but I can’t find him. Please, Butler, if he instructs you with anything else, remember to inform me. No, make sure he calls me back!"

"I understand, I won’t put you in a difficult position. Just say it’s alright, once he hears it, he’ll definitely call me back."

Yue Siqing walked to the door of Gu Anjin’s room and heard her anxiously making phone calls, still not giving up on finding Huo Xun.

His heart felt as if something was gripping it tightly, so tightly it was hard to breathe, painfully enough to draw blood.

The feeling of seeing no hope for so long was like a dull knife, and only now did it feel as if one had been stabbed, and it hurt all the same.

The door was ajar, and he raised his hand, his pale fingers slowly clenching, knocking on the door.
