Huo Xun shrugged, looking at him with a mischievous smile, and asked softly, "What do you think? Why do you think I’m not worried about these at all? Or let me ask a different question, Miss Gu Anjin, why was your first reaction upon seeing me not to tell Yue Siqing you found the person who kidnapped you, but rather to directly come here and confront me?"

Gu Anjin maintained a stern expression, staring at him coldly as she spoke, "You won’t escape from here. I’ll soon know who you really are."

"Do you think I’m foolish enough to just surrender?" Huo Xun shook his head with a smile, looking at her with more interest. "Actually, Miss Gu, you thought about it just now. You believed that I still blindly trust the lie you told that day, that I still believe you, and that you hate Yue Siqing, thinking I would come and collaborate with you. So you could secretly tell Yue Siqing everything...am I right?"

Being called out accurately, Gu Anjin couldn’t even be bothered to feel embarrassed.

That was exactly what she thought just now, she just wanted to test first.

After all, him being unable to escape was the best reason for her not to be in a hurry.

Naturally, it was even more important that she didn’t want to deal with Yue Siqing right now.

"Since you know all that, what gives you such confidence?"

Huo Xun twirled the wine glass with his slender fingers, "Maybe, you just don’t want to expose me?"

Gu Anjin couldn’t help but let out a cold laugh, "You’re dreaming."

"Or maybe you’ve realized that the guy you came with is now being targeted by my people," Huo Xun continued nonchalantly.

Gu Anjin was suddenly shocked and turned her head to look for Song Yi in the crowd.

That person...

The one talking to Song Yi was the person who had kidnapped her, put her in a car, and taken her to see Huo Xun.

"Are you threatening me with him? But he’s not someone important to me," Gu Anjin found it strange and asked back, "Besides, you couldn’t possibly do anything to him here."

Huo Xun extended his finger and shook it gently, "That’s where you are wrong. For example, just poison him, and right after the banquet, there would be news of his sudden death."

Gu Anjin didn’t speak for a moment, but she knew this was no joke to him.

For him, killing was not something that required much thought.

But this was quite ridiculous; her relationship with Song Yi was merely that of ordinary friends.

If anyone wanted to bargain with her life, even if it wasn’t Yue Siqing, it should at least be someone like Arthur.

"You find me laughable because, between Yue Siqing and Song Yi, if you had to choose one, it would undoubtedly be Yue Siqing. It’s a question with an obvious answer," Huo Xun took another sip of wine. "Don’t worry, I’m not so foolish as to use an irrelevant person to threaten you. He’s just a warning to show my determination. For instance, in special circumstances, his death could convey a message to you that I’m not just playing around."

Gu Anjin looked at him with a deeper meaning in her eyes.

Clearly, she couldn’t underestimate him too much.

He must have made thorough preparations to have the confidence to persuade her.

She clenched her teeth tightly, wondering what exactly he had on her!

Damn it, just the thought that she might actually choose not to expose him because of some leverage he had over her...

"Curious?" Huo Xun looked at her with a playful smile.

Gu Anjin glared at him.

Obviously, the one who should be worried is him, yet he seemed the least anxious at the moment.

Did he want her to beg him to know why he wasn’t afraid of her exposing him?

Damn it!
