It's an old acquaintance.
"Jin Ziyuan?" Searcy said, surprised.
Jin Ziyuan glanced at Searcy, then shifted his gaze to Gu Youyou, and asked in a low voice, "Are you alright?"
Gu Youyou seemed a bit embarrassed. She looked at Madam You who was slightly frowning and responded quietly, "I'm fine."
Jin Ziyuan sighed with relief and said to Madam You, "I need to talk to her alone."
Madam You glanced at Searcy and said, "Alright then."
Searcy tactfully followed Madam You and left, understanding the need to bow one's head under someone else's roof.
Only the two of them remained in the courtyard, which was very quiet.
Jin Ziyuan said, "I never thought I would see you again, especially not under these circumstances."
Gu Youyou gave a bitter smile. "Yet you came."
"Hmm?" Jin Ziyuan furrowed his brows.
Gu Youyou said, "You Jiang said he captured me to lure you out, so I said you came eventually."
"I had to come when they used you as bait."
