Chapter 546: Accurate predictions, what you say will come true

Two days had passed, and Dan Hanjie still had not returned.

Even though Rui Hui set a heavy training schedule for Qin Youxuan every day, leaving her exhausted and ready to collapse into sleep once it was over, Qin Youxuan still noticed the anomaly.

On the third morning, when Rui Hui wanted to take Qin Youxuan to the training field, Qin Youxuan uncharacteristically sat on the sofa instead.

“Something bad happened to him, didn’t it?”

Rui Hui’s gaze flickered, but she immediately shook her head, “He’s fine.”

“If he’s fine, why hasn’t he come back? If he’s fine, why are you hiding this from me and purposely distracting me?” Qin Youxuan quickly asked several questions and abruptly stood up from the sofa, “Rui Hui, I thought you were my friend, but you’re just lying to me.”

“Jie is not in immediate danger, he just got held up with some other matters. There was no rush to return, and telling you would only make you worry unnecessarily. Besides, it was you who wanted to learn shooting from me. Are you blaming me now?”

Rui Hui spread her hands, looking rather helpless.

“…”

Qin Youxuan’s gaze flickered as she bit her lip. “How much longer?”

“…”

“Tell me, how much longer before he comes back?”

“I can’t answer that question.” Rui Hui’s gaze tightened as she answered honestly.

Her task was to protect Qin Youxuan. As for the rest, even if she was worried, she could only inquire and had no way to interfere. That was the rule.

“…”

Qin Youxuan suddenly slumped into the sofa. Her intuition told her something bad must have happened to Hanjie.

She felt helpless and frustrated because all she could do was wait.

She hated this feeling of powerlessness.

“You don’t need to feel like this. Maybe he’ll soon… return.” Rui Hui’s voice trailed off as she pointed to a car moving in from the big gate, and Yao who had already stepped out of the car.

Damn it, speak of the devil and he appears. Talk about spot-on timing.

“Dan Hanjie!”

Qin Youxuan jolted to her feet, swiftly turned away from the sofa, and ran out.

“Miss, Mr. Jie has matters to deal with and has asked me to return first. I am to take you back to the Qin Family for a short stay.” Yao blocked Qin Youxuan’s path towards the car and bowed respectfully as he relayed the message.

“…He didn’t come back?”

Qin Youxuan asked hesitantly. The hopeful glimmer in her eyes faded bit by bit.

Even Yao felt cruel seeing this, not knowing how to continue with his words.

“He didn’t come back, but he asked you to send me away. Does that mean he doesn’t want me anymore, that he wants to drive me away?” Qin Youxuan’s voice trembled, filled with desperation.

“Miss, it’s not like that.” Yao tried to explain, “It’s just that Mr. Jie is very busy and can’t spare the time. He instructed me to escort you back to the Qin Family for a short stay so that there would be people around you, and he would feel more at peace.”

“You’re lying! Jin Chenye is at the Qin Family, he would never want me to go back there! Something happened to him, didn’t it? Every time he runs into trouble, he tries to push me away. Dan Hanjie, you bastard!”

Qin Youxuan’s eyes reddened. Observing Yao’s stunned expression, she knew for certain that her suspicions were correct.

It had been three days, and he still didn’t dare to show himself. He must be severely injured…

Qin Youxuan felt dizzy and her body staggered back.

With a sidelong glance, she caught sight of the tightly shut car’s back seat door. A sudden idea flashed across her mind.

She dashed towards the car parked not too far away…

“Miss!”

Yao was startled and hurriedly followed her.

Qin Youxuan was running too fast. Before Yao could catch up, she had already rushed to the car door, trying to open the back seat.

The car door was locked.@@novelbin@@

The car’s engine was still running. Why was the door locked?
