Chapter 286: Chapter 286 He is Dead

“Bai Huo, Bai Wei’s biological brother, my only friend,” Dan Hanjie’s voice was calm, even indifferent.

Yet the fact that he used the word ‘friend’ was shocking to Qin Youxuan, she couldn’t help but take the photo frame from his hand and look at the man in the photo more closely.

For some reason, she always got the sense that there was a melancholy behind Dan Hanjie’s gaze.

“Was it him who asked you to take care of Bai Wei? What about himself?” Qin Youxuan held his hand, looking at him curiously.

No one usually entrusts their own sister to others’ care.

This man didn’t seem like a simple figure.

Just by looking at his attire and demeanor, he was outstanding. The composure shown in his eyes, enough to remain unafraid in the face of danger, proved him to be a leader.

Aren’t all capable men protective of their younger sisters?

How reassured he must have been to entrust his own sister to Dan Hanjie…

“He’s dead.” Dan Hanjie stared at the photo frame in her hand, delivering the words with pronounced pauses.

“…”

The photo frame almost slipped from Qin Youxuan’s tremor hand.

She stared at him wide-eyed. Dead… he’s dead?

Qin Youxuan lowered her gaze to the man in the photo, who stood out from the rest. He looked so young—how could he be dead?

“Three years ago, when I first arrived in Fico City, just as I established a foothold, I was ambushed. In order to save me, he took a bullet to the heart,” Dan Hanjie recounted these words in a rather indifferent tone, but Qin Youxuan noticed his hand was trembling.

She wasn’t sure if it was anger or guilt.

“Dan Hanjie…”

“I’m fine.”

Dan Hanjie held Qin Youxuan close, leaning against the chair backrest, slowly closing his eyes.

The bloody scene seemed to replay before his eyes.

“He didn’t get to say a word before he died. But I could tell, he wanted me to take care of Wei’er. After that gunfight, Wei’er went missing. It wasn’t until recently that she was found,” Dan Hanjie spoke very briefly, seeming reluctant to revisit the past.

From what Bai Wei had said before, Qin Youxuan could roughly infer what had happened.

Bai Huo and Bai Wei must have known Dan Hanjie since childhood. Bai Wei, due to Bai Huo, must have often seen Dan Hanjie, which is why she understood him so well.

She didn’t expect Bai Huo to die saving Dan Hanjie.

She could see that it had a significant impact on Dan Hanjie. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have spent three years searching for Bai Wei after her disappearance.

And because of Bai Huo, he saw Bai Wei as a sister…

Yet, she suspected their relationship was not that innocent.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t know…” Qin Youxuan felt guilty and hugged him tightly around his robust waist.

“Is your insomnia related to this?”

Could his insomnia be related to Bai Huo’s death?

But according to Bai Wei, the timeline didn’t match…

She blinked her cat-like eyes in confusion, looking at him.

“No.”

Dan Hanjie’s face darkened and a flash of bloodlust in his eyes startled Qin Youxuan. She remembered his previous reaction and hastily dropped the subject.

“So what are you planning to do, I mean about Bai Wei. I can tell she likes you…” Qin Youxuan said with a discontented feeling in her heart.

By now, she was clear that Dan Hanjie would never abandon her. Yet while he saw Bai Wei as a sister, Bai Wei didn’t see him as a brother.

“I will arrange for her to be sent back to the US and ensure that she’s well-looked-after.”
