Yue Siqing never answers such questions, she always thinks he just doesn’t want to speak too directly.
But just now, when she asked him if he was worried about her, he also said not to ask him that kind of question.
And the implication was clearly not a denial.
Gu Anjin hugged her head and shook it vigorously.
What’s the use of thinking so much, no matter how much she thinks, it’s just her thinking alone.

The man coming out of her room had his eyebrows furrowed together.
"How is Jinjin?"
Arthur saw Yue Siqing coming out as soon as he reached the top of the stairs, looking quite upset.
"She’s fine and awake."
Arthur eyed him suspiciously, "If she’s fine, then why do you look like this? This doesn’t look like a ’fine’ expression."
Yue Siqing’s voice was cold, "I said she’s fine. How’s the investigation going?"
"Very cunning, didn’t leave any clues. The two dead people were related to Anthony, but Anthony wasn’t the one who sent them to kidnap Jinjin. He probably doesn’t know who it was, only that soone wanted to give Jinjin to him for revenge, and he spent a lot of money to buy her. Who knew, instead of getting her, two of his n ended up dead. Now he’s furious too. Rumor has it he suspects we did it to spite him intentionally."
Arthur thought that idiot must be insane; why would they do sothing so stupid just to annoy him?
"Did Jinjin say anything? She had direct contact with those people, should know so clues."
Yue Siqing paused his steps upstairs for a mont, "I didn’t ask."
"You didn’t ask?" Arthur’s eyes widened, "All this ti, what did you talk about then?"
Yue Siqing’s expression grew darker, his thin lips pressed tightly, clearly with no intention of speaking.
"I get it, I’ll go ask." Arthur chuckled bitterly.
His silence, can only be regarding that one topic.
Everyone knows Jinjin has liked him since she was young, never wavering.
Probably, they had another disagreent over this issue.
"Brother, you obviously care about her, why..."
"I care about her as I should, no why."
Yue Siqing’s silhouette disappeared at the end of the corridor.

"Huo Xun? Never heard of him." Arthur stood by the bed, looking at the dispirited girl on it with gentle eyes, "Are you still feeling dizzy? That damn guy, used so much force on you."
Gu Anjin hugged her knees, furrowing her brow even tighter.
Huo Xun... is that a fake na?
If it was Yue Siqing’s enemy, why does Arthur have no impression of this na?
"It’s a warning." She rembered what that person said.
That person said he originally wanted to shoot her as a warning.
Actually, she didn’t quite understand, what she couldn’t understand more was, he originally wanted to shoot, why didn’t he?
"What?" Arthur was even more confused, "A warning to... Yue Siqing?"
Gu Anjin nodded, "I guess so. He originally planned to be harsher, so letting off like this is already strange."
"Yue Siqing’s enemy? Alright, I’ll ask around later, maybe it’s soone I don’t know. Any other clues?"
She thought for a mont and gestured on her face, "One of his n wore an eye patch here, like a pirate. But I don’t know if he’s blind or thinks it’s cool. That guy is probably soone very important around Huo Xun; he personally brought over. They don’t care about offending Anthony, seem to move around unpredictably."
