Gu Anjin bit her lip, not daring to let the tears fall.

This was the first time she faced such a situation, especially with a man who, just a few days ago, was entering high society events with her dressed in elegant attire.

Every time he saw her, his face carried a comforting smile.

Actually, when he invited her to perform that day, she vaguely knew the reason why.

But, although she had never tried to cater to the masses, she never deliberately rejected or avoided such occasions.

So she didn’t mind; performing in front of the public was no big deal for her.

As for any subsequent effects, if they were negative, whether it was too much exposure or bad press, someone would handle it for her.

She knew Song Yi wanted a better opportunity to prove himself, and she knew how hard he worked for his goals.

As long as it wasn’t too excessive, she wouldn’t even consider holding grudges for such matters.

Not to mention... completely ruining his career.

"Senior Song, I... I’m sorry, I really didn’t know about this. But I promise that in the future..."

Gu Anjin didn’t know what to say and as she spoke, she paused again.

She began to question herself. Could she really give a hundred percent guarantee?

Yue Siqing promised her not to interfere with this matter.

She thought it would at most just be a warning.

The result, however, was far more severe than she imagined.

She couldn’t give him guarantees because if she went to Yue Siqing for this, it might instead push him into an abyss.

"Guarantee? Can you guarantee?" Song Yi, like he was grasping at straws, propped himself up with his bandaged hands, stumbling and trying to get out of bed, "I beg you, tell him to spare me..."

Mr. Murphy had said long ago that the only person who could save him was Gu Anjin.

Yue Siqing did this because of Gu Anjin, and if Gu Anjin was willing to speak, everything would be fine.

Gu Anjin was tongue-tied; how could she promise him?

Should she tell him the truth? If Yue Siqing knew she had already met Song Yi, would he become even more dangerous?

"Enough." Huo Xun saw him approach Gu Anjin and reached out to reposition him on the bed again, his handsome face slightly grim, "I just brought her to see you, you continue to rest, a doctor will come soon."

"No, no!" Song Yi struggled frantically, "Jinjin, Jinjin, I beg you. I promise to disappear from your sight in the future... I’m already a ruined man... I beg you, isn’t this enough? And my family, don’t harm my family..."

Seeing his movements getting out of control, Huo Xun quickly used the bedside clasps. With a series of clicks, all his limbs were locked to prevent him from leaving the bed.

"What are you doing?" Gu Anjin was suddenly startled.

After finishing the task, Huo Xun casually remarked, "Nothing much, this is for the surgery. Otherwise, with excessive struggling, there’s no way to bandage his fingers properly. You see here, the medical conditions are limited. There’s no way to send him to the hospital."

Listening to the cries in the background, he frowned, glanced at Song Yi, then walked up to Gu Anjin.

"Let’s go, it’s too cold here, we can talk upstairs."

"Jinjin, Jinjin, don’t leave..."

Hearing the hoarse voice, Gu Anjin clenched her teeth, not knowing what to say.

"Let’s go." Huo Xun gave her a look, then took her by the wrist and led her away from there.
