He did believe that Ji Yu certainly had the capability.
But the situation in front of him made him so worried he could hardly hold himself together.
"I trust Sister Yu, but I can't just sit here and wait for doom to arrive. Knowing full well this matter is dangerous and yet doing nothing to prepare—that would be my fault."
He was terrified of something happening to Ji Yu.
If something did happen and it was because he stood by without acting, he would regret it for the rest of his life.
"I'm even more worried about Yu than you are, but we need to understand that no news yet means the situation isn't critical—for now." When he had seen Ji Yu earlier, Ji Yu hadn't even seemed anxious.
"As long as they still need Yu's abilities, they won't just act recklessly."
He knew this well, which was why he hadn't thought about taking action from the start.
For a moment, Hong hesitated too. Both of them had their own thoughts, but both were thinking of Ji Yu's wellbeing.
