"There was a second when I was truly afraid I would just die like that," Qiao Xiguan said, "Gu Zichen, I'm really scared of dying."

So, she suspected Ye Wu.
Gu Zichen remained silent.
Qiao Xiguan raised her eyebrows, "Do you believe it?"
"Qiao Xiguan," Gu Zichen spoke to her, word by word, "You will stay at home for now and not go anywhere."
