Chapter 1753: The First Time He Took a Bullet for Someone (1)
"They must have started watching Song Yi when you and he were rumored together. Anthony is someone who avenges any wrongs, and although he can’t touch Yue Siqing or you, he’ll find other ways to vent his anger." Huo Xun frowned tightly, his grip on the steering wheel feeling a bit weak. "I heard they found Song Yi when he came to see me and have known that he’s been with me but didn’t dare to make a move. This time, they planned to intercept because they saw that I was about to send Song Yi away. If he gets on the plane, they won’t have another chance."
Listening to his voice, Gu Anjin glanced back and hesitantly looked at him, "It seems like there’s no one chasing us anymore. Do you want to go to the hospital?"
"Afraid I’ll die?" Huo Xun smirked.
"With the way you’re driving, I’m worried we’ll get into an accident." Gu Anjin quickly replied, "After all, I’m also in the car."
He shook his head speechlessly at this response.
Then he picked up the phone resting on the car seat, preparing to make a call.
Seeing him grab the phone, Gu Anjin’s heart couldn’t help but race.
The act of secretly checking his phone earlier made her particularly guilty.
She was unsure if he would immediately find out.
Huo Xun, after lighting up the screen, slightly widened his eyes as he looked at the phone.
He shot a sidelong glance at Gu Anjin but didn’t say anything and directly dialed a number, "Qin Shi, is everything resolved... how many were injured... alright, I took a bullet, heading to the hospital."
Listening to his phone call, Gu Anjin’s heart was even more unsettled than before.
The way Huo Xun looked at her made it hard not to overthink; he surely knew his phone was tampered with.
So be it, if it’s discovered, then it’s discovered.
Resolutely, she calmed herself, and by the time Huo Xun ended the call, she was composed.
"Miss Gu Anjin, it’s impolite to touch other people’s things, isn’t it?"
Gu Anjin turned her head to look out the window, shifting her gaze, "I didn’t initially intend to. I just couldn’t see clearly what you were doing... However, I admit I flipped through your phone, it was purely out of curiosity."
"You’re curious about me? Want to know what business I have?"
Listening to his amused tone, Gu Anjin frowned even more tightly.
She didn’t particularly want to know his business, but having done it, denying would seem hypocritical.
"I want to know who you are." She said indifferently on purpose, "Want to know what grudge you have with Yue Siqing, want to know what you plan to do. Isn’t it normal to be curious about these things?"
"So, do you know now?"
She thought for a moment, "I don’t know, and I’m even more puzzled. Huo Xun, why do you have photos of Yue Siqing when he was a child?"
Huo Xun’s initially smiling face suddenly lifted in surprise.
"You went through my photos... Gu Anjin, you really are interested in me."
"I said it’s just..."
"How did you know those were photos of Yue Siqing when he was a child?" Huo Xun didn’t have the patience to listen to her explanation, directly interrupting her.
Gu Anjin helplessly said, "I can tell, that must be him. I just haven’t seen that photo, nor the person in the photo, so I found it strange."
Huo Xun wiped the sweat from his brow, clearly enduring the pain from his wound, "Of course you haven’t seen it; it’d be strange if you had."
Despite her curiosity about him and the photos, looking at his complexion made her suggest, "Are you really alright? Since there’s no one behind us anymore, do you want me to drive instead?"
