"You told Xiaowen?" Yuan's head jerks up in surprise, the words spilling out of his lips before he can stop them. Xiaowen, the man who tries so hard to make a fool out of Jin Ling every chance he gets, and then boasts about it later. The man who hates his boss with such a passion he takes that hatred out on somebody else... is it possible he's somehow behind this? Yuan doesn't know, but he doubts Xiaowen has made the effort he should have done to catch whoever was behind this.

"Rulan, when the problem is somebody trying to murder you, it's okay to ask for help." Wei Wuxian says with a shake of his head, but then his gaze moves to Yuan and he frowns curiously.

"Why are you surprised Jin Ling told his guard?" he asks, an edge of suspicion creeping into his tone - Xiaowen the boy had said, not Jin Xiaowen, not the captain, nor any other name that would make sense for someone you'd only known a few days at most. Yuan seems very sweet, and Wei Wuxian is a little inclined to trust somebody with that name, but everybody in this room knew that a sweet facade didn't always mean you could be trusted.

Yuan flushes, ducking his head - he knows it's important to tell Jin Ling what he knows, but he can't do it in front of all these people.

"It's nothing." he mumbles.
