1198: Chapter 1198: Clinging on Relentlessly 1198: Chapter 1198: Clinging on Relentlessly At night, Leng Le stood on the balcony in her nightgown, a glass of red wine in hand, admiring the brilliantly lit skyscrapers and the cityscape outside the window.
Behind her, a pair of strong arms wrapped around Leng Le, savoring the scent of her body lavishly.
Leng Le smiled faintly, obediently cooperating, and leaned back into the arms of the mysterious masked man.
Just as the masked man was about to indulge in Leng Le’s flavor, an ill-tid doorbell interrupted the wonderful atmosphere.
“Who is it at this hour!” Leng Le stepped away from the masked man’s embrace, slipped on her robe, and went to open the door—only to explode with anger at the sight of Gu Fan’s amiable smile.
“It’s you!” Leng Le hurriedly attempted to close the door, but Gu Fan pushed hard against it, “Ex-girlfriend, it’s been a long ti.
I ca especially to see you.
Look, I even brought you a little gift.
How can you treat this way?”
“Forget it, since I am your ex-girlfriend, it’s better we don’t see each other.” Despite her effort, Leng Le couldn’t overpower Gu Fan, and after a short struggle, he pushed the door open and swaggered in.
Leng Le’s first reaction was to check the balcony, and she noticed that the masked man had disappeared without a trace.
“Ex-girlfriend, what are you looking at?
Was there soone on your balcony?” Gu Fan followed Leng Le’s gaze to the balcony, finding nothing there.
However, not giving up, Gu Fan deliberately searched the balcony thoroughly but still discovered nothing.
Leng Le was furious, “Gu Fan, what do you an by this?
I already said I don’t want to see you, why are you coming to my ho?”
“I don’t know why, but I always rember every detail of our past.
So I ca to reminisce,” Gu Fan said nonchalantly, infuriating Leng Le with what seed like a ridiculous excuse.
“Look at this sofa, it’s still the one from my mories, sitting here is still so comfortable.
Rember how we used to snuggle here on this couch, thinking about it, it really is…” Gu Fan trailed off, sinking into a fond rembrance.
Leng Le couldn’t bear to listen any further, “Don’t bring up the past—my eyes were blind then.
How could I have fancied soone like you.”
Gu Fan looked perplexed, “Weren’t you acting on orders, getting close to to complete the boss’s task?”
“Yes, I was fulfilling a task given by the boss, so there was not a shred of emotion in my relationship with you.
Please stop coming to reminisce.
I’m begging you,” begged Leng Le, with a pleading look.
Gu Fan chuckled, “Oh, I see.
Although it hurts to know the relationship was affected, I still have to thank the boss for arranging a beauty like you for .
Speaking of the boss, it’s been a while since I last saw him.
I’d like to have a chat with him.
Could you, my ex-girlfriend, provide with his contact information?”
“What’s this, after beating around the bush, you just want the boss’s contact information.” Leng Le looked reluctant and opened the door, signaling for Gu Fan to leave quickly.
“Ex-girlfriend, you’re so heartless,” Gu Fan lanted, then added, “It suddenly cos to mind, those beautiful nights spent in your bedroom, I want to check if it’s still the sa bed.”
“Alright, alright, I’ll give it to you, just please stop talking,” Leng Le hurriedly sent a text ssage with the boss’s contact information to Gu Fan.
Gu Fan was pleased, “I knew my ex-girlfriend was considerate.
It seems you still have feelings for .
It’s such a sha we broke up.”
“Okay, I got it.
Now please leave, I need my beauty sleep,” Leng Le gestured dismissively to usher him out.
No sooner had Gu Fan stepped out, preparing to leave, than he suddenly rembered sothing and abruptly turned his head, staring at Leng Le with a hint of suspicion in his eyes.
Leng Le beca panicked, “Gu Fan, I’ve told you everything you wanted to know.
Don’t stick around, your current girlfriend won’t let you off if she finds out.”
“It’s okay, Lin Xi trusts and I trust Lin Xi.
I ca here after discussing it with her,” Gu Fan reassured earnestly, “How’s your gang doing lately?
Has it been vibrant and successful?”
Hearing this, Leng Le’s heart skipped a beat.
Why was Gu Fan suddenly talking about her gang?
However, she remained calm on the surface, “My gang is just ssing around for fun.
How’s your company doing?”
Gu Fan sighed bitterly, “My company just started, and it’s constantly burning cash—we haven’t made a profit yet.
That’s why I wondered if I could join your gang to earn so extra money.”
Leng Le squinted, suspicious of Gu Fan’s true intentions, and asked, “Why would a company CEO like you want to join my gang?”
“Because I also want to try the feeling of being a gang boss, commanding subordinates, and taking over territories.” Gu Fan’s excuse lacked credibility.
Naturally, Leng Le didn’t believe him, and since he refused to leave, she forcefully pushed him out and shut the door.
“This ex-girlfriend is losing her feminine touch,” Gu Fan lanted, shaking his head and walking away in disappointnt.
Behind the door, Leng Le clenched her teeth in irritation upon hearing his words.
Then she sensed sothing off and turned towards the balcony, seeing the mysterious masked man standing there in the sa spot as if he had never left.
The masked man spoke lightly, “It seems Gu Fan is becoming suspicious of your gang.
Before he uncovers our real intentions, we should accelerate our plans.”
Leng Le frowned, “Why would Gu Fan be suspicious of ?
I’ve been very careful.”
“You are careful, but it’s not impossible for soone to find a trace,” The masked man contemplated before adding, “For safety’s sake, instruct your subordinates to move out first and wait at a designated spot.”
“What, start moving now?” Leng Le felt apprehensive, but the masked man insisted, “The more we delay, the greater the chance Gu Fan will find sothing out.
It’s better to move ahead to avoid wasting all our efforts.”
Leng Le nodded, “Alright, I’ll send the instructions now, but you have to tell where to send them.”
“That place is rather special, a lawless zone, also a haven for monstrous and wicked people,” the masked man explained.
As he spoke, an area floated into Leng Le’s mind; she had heard of it—the most dangerous and insane place in the world, Dark City.
