Chapter 1755: The First Time He Took a Bullet for Someone (Part 3)
"Gu Anjin, you’re not gonna run off after you come out, are you?" Huo Xun spoke again before the operating table was pushed in.
"I’ll keep an eye on her for you... no, I mean I’ll keep her here!" Qin Shi hurriedly tried to patch things up.
Huo Xun lazily closed his eyes and let the doctors push him in.
Qin Shi looked over at Gu Anjin. "Miss Gu, do you want to eat something, or drink something? Or you can sit down and rest for a bit. This surgery’s not gonna be over anytime soon."
"You guys really won’t let me leave, huh?" Gu Anjin thought of the promise Qin Shi had just made to Huo Xun and was speechless.
She really didn’t want anything to happen to Huo Xun at a time like this, but that didn’t mean she had to sit here and wait for him to come out.
"Of course not." Qin Shi smiled, watching Gu Anjin hesitate about her stance.
Originally, Gu Anjin wasn’t that important to them. It was just that lately, he couldn’t figure out where Huo Xun stood.
Whether he was serious or not, even if he was faking it, he had to make it look real.
"If you want to leave, you can go anytime. I just hope Miss Gu can stay, at least until he comes out of surgery. Because..."
Seeing how he seemed a bit embarrassed to say it, Gu Anjin pressed, "Because what?"
"Because this is the first time he’s ever taken a bullet for someone. Think about it, Miss Gu—if it were you, and the other person just walked away that coldly, wouldn’t you feel chilled?"
"But..."
Seeing her attitude obviously soften, Qin Shi struck while the iron was hot. "It actually won’t be that long. Just wait until he comes out and sees you haven’t left, that’s all. It’s just a bit of mental comfort. It’s rare for him to do something good—if he really turns into a cold-blooded bastard in the future, then your choice today will be the key reason."
"..." That works too...
Qin Shi reassured her. "Once he’s out of surgery he’ll definitely go straight to rest. You can leave then, it’s the same."
"Alright, I’ll wait here for a while." Gu Anjin sat down on the bench in the corridor.
She hadn’t really planned to leave right now anyway; she’d only said that because she thought Huo Xun’s request was unreasonable.
"Qin Shi, about what just happened..."
"Miss Gu, you really should’ve listened to him and not come out. Things were urgent just now, and because they knew who we are, the boss had no choice but to show up in person. But since he didn’t want them to discover you, didn’t want you dragged into this, you really shouldn’t have come."
"I’m sorry, I didn’t know. I caused you trouble. I thought things were already settled, so I wanted to quickly see how Song Yi was doing. And I didn’t expect those to be Anthony’s people, because last time you guys..."
Qin Shi nodded. "Don’t worry about him, he’s already been safely put on a plane. But Miss Gu, last time we kidnapped you, it’s true we wanted to hand you over to Anthony, but at that time Anthony had no idea who we were. This time, he only knows it was Mr. Murphy’s stepson who took Song Yi; he has no idea it’s the same people as last time. Last time we were in the dark, this time we’re out in the open, so a lot of our moves are restricted. One careless step, and it’ll drag in old Mr. Murphy."
Gu Anjin could only say, "Got it."
Since Song Yi was already on the plane, nothing unexpected should happen now.
"Oh right, can I ask you something?" Gu Anjin looked at Qin Shi. "You guys have known Yue Siqing for many years, haven’t you?"
