It was not long before Xu Zhenyu came over, chasing Wen Xinya’s grandfather home.

As Wen Xinya saw Xu Zhenyu, she remembered that she had sent a text calling for help as soon as she got in the cab. However, she vaguely remembered that her grandfather had said that it was Si Yiyan who saved her. What actually happened? It looked like she had to ask him directly.

As Xu Zhenyu noticed that Wen Xinya was staring at him, he felt uneasy and frantic. If only his phone were not turned off… if only he saved her in the nick of time, she would not have endured such trauma. He hurried to apologize. “Wen Xinya, I’m sorry. My phone battery was flat yesterday, so it had automatically turned off. That’s the reason why I did not receive your message for help in time, causing you to almost…”

He had already understood what had happened from Old Master Mo last night. The pain in his heart grew intense with the thought that he was not there during her time of need, and instead, had put her in danger because of being absent.

“Am I not fine? You don’t have to apologize.” Wen Xinya waved her hand thoughtlessly.

“But…” Xu Zhenyu thought of the nasty rumors from before. It was also because of him that she was dragged into it and attacked by the media. He felt more and more uncomfortable inside.

“Alright, Xu-er. You’re 17 years old this year, not 27 years old. It’s me who did not think thoroughly. In that dangerous situation, I should have looked for an adult for help to be more cautious. Instead, I dragged you into this. It is me who should apologize.” In her past life, Xu Zhenyu was the only one who stood by her. Thus, when something happened to her, the only person she felt like she could turn to was Xu Zhenyu. So when she was in trouble yesterday, she subconsciously sent a distress message to him.

The light in Xu Zhenyu’s eyes dimmed. Wen Xinya thought of him in at the most dangerous point of her life; that was the highest level of trust she could show to him. Yet, he betrayed her trust in him. “Who was the man who saved you yesterday?”

“His name is Si Yiyan. He studied under Grampy in the past.” Speaking about Si Yiyan, her mind flashed with broken memories, and her chest felt tight as if something was filling her empty heart bit by bit. But if Si Yiyan was the one who saved her, why did he not show himself? How is he doing right now?

Xu Zhenyu heard that her tone and expression were normal, so he heaved a sigh of relief. “Why have you never talked about him before?”

Wen Xinya subconsciously replied, “Because there was nothing to say!”

A smile broke out on Xu Zhenyu’s face. “He looked complex. I did not get a good feeling from him, so you should be careful and not get too close to him.”

Xu Zhenyu had been interacting with Gu Junlin since young. He had some knowledge about those with influence. That Si Yiyan and the Gu Family were not the same. The Gu Family only had good relationships with both the government as well as the mafia. If necessary, both sides would give them respect. However, Si Yiyan seemed different and gave off a more dangerous vibe, so he reminded Wen Xinya.

It seemed like Si Yiyan used underhanded methods to save her. Wen Xinya smiled faintly without saying a word.

Xu Zhenyu saw that she was quiet and asked, “What? Are you unwell?”

“Oh, I’m fine. I’m just thinking.” Wen Xinya gave him a reassuring smile.

Xu Zhenyu felt relieved.

“Oh, right. What about the man who kidnapped me, Fu Tianyang?” Speaking about Fu Tianyang, Wen Xinya’s mind started to fill unwillingly with Fu Tianyang’s maniacal face and bone-deep hatred. He did not look too well.
