Stunned, Su Ting's expression darkened, "Brother, what are you hiding from me?"
Su Ci gently ruffled Su Ting's hair, speaking softly, "When the time comes, I'll tell you everything."
Su Ting insisted, "I want to know what's happening now!"
Su Ci's gaze lowered, "Gu Dai is in danger. I came back to protect her, but I can't reveal myself yet. It would alert those scheming behind the scenes and might make things spiral out of control."
Su Ting grasped his brother's hand in shock, "You mean someone is after Sis?"
Although Su Ci didn't respond, his silence was a clear answer.
Glancing at the time, Su Ci excused himself, "I have to go now, but we'll see each other again soon."
Su Ting nodded, grabbing his brother's hand before he left, "Can I tell Sis you're alive?"
Su Ci shook his head, "Keep it a secret for now, from her and everyone else."
