When she heard Chi Yan's reply, Lu Sangjiu's heart sank... 'I was hoping this wouldn't happen, but it looks like it was unavoidable in the end.'
Investigating the family and friends of one of your own friends was always an uncomfortable situation.
Lu Sangjiu thought for a moment, but she still didn't know how to bring it up.
'After all, unlike the rest of us, Chi Yan hasn't had any time to mentally prepare. He's still blissfully unaware right now. If I just tell him directly, it'll probably be a huge blow to him!'
'Besides... It's not that I don't trust Chi Yan's character, but if he has a good relationship with this martial uncle, he'll likely lose his cool after hearing the news and go question the man directly.'
'Not only would that leak our plans, but he himself could be in danger.'
With this in mind, Lu Sangjiu ultimately decided to keep it from Chi Yan for the time being.
