Chapter 1388. Realization 3
Mu Yuchen’s expression was calm. He just shot him a side glance, then dropped his gaze and thought about it for a moment before his lowered voice then rang out, “I have one last question to ask you.”
“What is it?” Gu Qiwu did not open his eyes when he answered.
“Did you really have nothing to do with Wang Qin’s death at all?” Mu Yuchen’s silent gaze suddenly turned sharp as he fixed his eyes on Gu Qiwu, not wanting to miss any changes in his expression. “Maybe you have some thoughts on Wang Qin’s death, hmm?”
When he asked his, Gu Qiwu was stunned. Moments after that, he slowly opened his eyes and met Mu Yuchen’s questioning gaze.
“It’s got nothing to do with me. I admit that I sent the assassin, but my intention then was just to send you a warning and not have you obstruct my movements in City Z. Sadly, you all managed to get out of that sticky situation. I also got my people to contact that assassin after that, but it seemed like he had vanished into thin air as I couldn’t find him,” Gu Qiwu said calmly.
“Do you know why that happened?” Mu Yuchen squinted at him and asked coldly.
Gu Qiwu fell silent, but he did not answer. A while after, he said, “This incident has passed for so long. Ah Chen, I suggest that you don’t look into it anymore. It doesn’t do you or anyone else any good. Even if you know the whole story, it might not be a good thing. Take me for example right now, or rather, look at us right now. Do you understand?”
Upon hearing that, Mu Yuchen only looked at him with an unfathomable gaze. “I don’t understand it, just like how someone like you wouldn’t understand what affection, kinship, friendship, and even romance are. You never understood any one of those.”
As Gu Qiwu listened, he paused, and his expression darkend. He did not say anything more afterwards.
