"They have their hands in both black and white, and even if they truly wanted to pursue something, An Ji wouldn’t be affected. They always operate seamlessly; no one would trace it back to them."
"But he still ended up on the wrong path... I just hoped he would live a normal life, not these violent, conflicted days!"
An Ruo’s emotions were somewhat agitated; no one could understand her complex feelings.
She was terrified that An Ji would sink deeper and ultimately harm himself.
Organizations that have never been accepted don’t have a lasting fate. If Beidi Hall were to fall, An Ji would also be in trouble.
"Tang Yuchen, if you hadn’t sent him away back then, none of this would have happened! I truly regret not insisting on him coming back. It’s all my fault... I’m the one to blame..." An Ruo took a deep breath, her heart aching.
Tang Yuchen’s gaze darkened, and he said in a low voice, "An Ruo, this isn’t your fault. It was his own choice.
Sending him to Black Swan School was merely to train him; his fate depended entirely on himself. Since he has chosen this path, it shows that he has no regrets and is suited for it.
An Ji is one of the smartest people I’ve ever met. You can rest assured that even if Beidi Hall falls, he will be safe.
If he truly were in trouble, I would do everything in my power to save him..."
An Ruo looked at him in shock, his eyes firm, clearly not just making conversation.
"Why would you help him?" she asked, puzzled.
Tang Yuchen smiled slightly, "I help him, of course, for you. If he were in trouble, you would definitely be distressed, and I don’t want to see you hurt anymore."
Suddenly feeling touched, would he really do everything for her to help Xiao Ji? Could this be true?
It had to be true. She believed his words.
In An Ruo’s heart, she always saw Tang Yuchen as someone capable of anything, almost godlike. With his assurance, she felt much more at ease.
If Xiao Ji were really in danger, as long as Tang Yuchen intervened, he would be safe.
An Ruo fell silent and did not speak further, while Tang Yuchen smiled and said, "Now, you can be assured about him, right?"
How embarrassing. She had just blamed him for sending Xiao Ji away, and now, hearing his promise, all her complaints had vanished.
Her face reddened with embarrassment, An Ruo quickly changed the subject, "You mentioned that you left over a month ago, so who sent those letters you wrote to me?"
"I had written them in advance and asked Uncle Tao to mail one to you each day."
An Ruo nodded, understanding, "Hurry and tell me what happened after that."
Suddenly standing up, Tang Yuchen said, "I’m really hungry, are you hungry? I’d like to eat something before we continue."
An Ruo glanced outside at the night, realizing it was already very late; she would not be able to leave if she didn’t go soon.
But she was eager to know what had happened later, especially if his crisis had been resolved. If there were still people out to kill him, then Kangkang’s situation would also be precarious.
Moreover, since this matter involved Xiao Ji, she was even more anxious and determined to understand everything completely before she could rest.
"It’s getting late; you should tell me first before we go eat," she urged tensely.
Rubbing his stomach, Tang Yuchen said with difficulty, "But I’m really hungry, and those matters aren’t something I can explain briefly. How about I take you home first, and we can talk another day when I’m free?"
She couldn’t wait until another day!
