Xia Jinqi did not know how long she had been chatting with Merlin. All she knew was that when she walked over, half of the bottle of whiskey on the table had already been drunk.
Subconsciously, she glanced at the wine glass in front of Yan Jun. it was already empty.
Just as she was thinking about how much he had drunk, a familiar voice reached her ear. "Are you done chatting? "
He did not ask about the content. Just like before when he was receiving guests, she had never asked anything else.
They had a tacit understanding. Presumably, it was also because of the absolute trust between them that they had such a tacit understanding.
Xia Jinqi nodded. Yan Jun stood up and held her hand. "Let's go then. "
After saying that, he looked at Merlin and Fu Shaozhong. "I'll be leaving first. "
"Go. Bring sister-in-law to my entertainment city tomorrow to play! " Fu Shaozhong invited enthusiastically. After all, it was an honor for big shots like Yan Jun and Xia Jinqi to go to his place Perhaps they could even attract more business for him... ... It would be best if he could earn back the money he lost at the gambling table just now ! !
"I'll definitely go. " Yan Jun did not refuse. After nodding slightly, he left with Xia Jinqi.
"..."
Just like when they came, Yan Jun and Xia Jinqi returned with quite a number of bodyguards.
Xia Jinqi did not say much throughout the journey. She kept thinking about how much of what Merlin said was true, and what kind of existence the JI family was?
She did not speak, and Yan Jun did not take the initiative to interrupt her thinking about life. He held her hand and played with the wedding ring on her ring finger.
And the one you have in your hand is a couple.
I didn't think so when I bought it, but now I like it more and more.
Xia Jinqi did not notice his little actions at all, but after some careful consideration, she finally turned to look at him and asked, "Jun, do you remember when we came back from Berlin last year? When you helped GRANDPA JI and cousin get out? "
"Yes. " Yan Jun answered very quickly, as if there was not a moment of absent-mindedness, preoccupied in waiting for her question.
"Do you know who wants to exterminate them? " Xia Jinqi asked again.
This time, Yan Jun was silent for a moment. Instead of answering, he asked, "what did Merlin say to you? "
"He said that the Rothschild family was about to be exterminated, and only the JI family escaped, " Xia Jinqi answered.
In front of him, she never had to hide anything.
Yan Jun's gaze deepened, and he said slowly, "and? "
"He wants my help, " Xia Jinqi answered again. Then, she furrowed her eyebrows tightly and muttered to herself, "I didn't hear grandfather and cousin mention it earlier... "
"It's something that happened recently, " Yan Jun casually replied. His attention was still on her slender fingers, as if he wasn't particularly concerned about this topic, or perhaps... ... He had already taken control of the situation ...
"..."after being reminded by him, Xia Jinqi finally realized that the JI family had been abandoned a year ago in Berlin. Why did Merlin only come to her for help now?
Wasn't the other party very powerful Why hadn't they been exterminated after a year... ... So, the incident should have happened in Berlin when that family was already severely injured, but they were exterminated recently ...
For some reason, a very strange thought suddenly ran into Xia Jinqi's mind.
She suspiciously turned her eyes to stare at the leisurely and lazy man beside her. After hesitating for a long time, she asked, "you... aren't related to this matter, right? "
