The shadow bodyguard tapped on the phone, going through the folders one by one. A few seconds passed.
Everyone was waiting quietly.
Then, the bodyguard suddenly gasped.
"What is it?" Xu Qian asked quickly.
The guard looked up, his face shocked.
"There is indeed a photo of him and Miss Gu together."
The crowd went silent again.
Even Gu Jichun looked confused. "What…?"
Xu Qian stepped forward, tense. "Show us the photo."
The bodyguard turned the phone around.
On the screen was a picture of the black cloaked man standing next to a girl who looked exactly like Gu Jin.
They were in what looked like a quiet tea shop. The girl was smiling softly, and the man had his arm resting on the back of her chair.
Whispers filled the air.
"It really looks like her…"
"They were together…"
Gu Jichun's eyes widened. "No! That's not right! That can't be her!"
Gu Jin stared at the photo. Her face was calm, but her eyes narrowed.
"That isn't me," she said clearly.
