1375: Chapter 1375 I’m Right Here 1375: Chapter 1375 I’m Right Here Gu Fan stayed in the inn, pushed open the window, pretended to admire the scenery, stretched lazily, and even made a scissors gesture towards a house, all for the sole purpose of letting the people from Organization X see that he had not left the inn.
Lin Xi ca to the window and tenderly straightened Gu Fan’s clothes.
They looked at each other, their eyes locked in a romantic display that was ant not only for the eyes of Organization X but also to flaunt their love in front of them.
Just like that, Organization X confird that Gu Fan, Lin Xi, and Su Hui—and other important individuals—were all in this inn, and they imdiately called back their dispersed agents.
While kissing Lin Xi, Gu Fan closed the window, sorry, but this wasn’t for the prying eyes of Organization X to witness.
After being apart for so long, both of them had much to say, but at this mont, seeing each other was enough, and words beca unnecessary; their eyes held only each other.
At this ti, Su Hui crossed her arms and leaned against the door fra, saying lightly, “Okay, you two have been together for so many years.
You’ve pretty much done everything that can be done, and these few days aren’t making much of a difference.
You’ll have plenty of ti to be affectionate later.
Hurry up, the tunnel is through, and it’s getting late.”
“Okay,” Gu Fan and Lin Xi said sowhat embarrassedly, and promptly separated.
The main reason Gu Fan had chosen this inn to divert Organization X’s attention was precisely because it was established by the Hunter’s Guild, which naturally ca equipped with a secret passage.
However, the tunnel was mostly sealed, and reopening it took so ti and a lot of effort.
When Ouyang Jin climbed out of the secret passage with a shovel in hand, he couldn’t help but complain, “What’s the aning of this?
I was hired as a guide, when did I beco a manual laborer?
This price rise is unreasonable.”
“Brother, hike your price if you must, but first get out of the way.
Don’t block the exit, let co out,” Lu Yi complained from behind and then heard the sound of Ouyang Jin farting.
“You bastard, you definitely did that on purpose.
Get back here!” Lu Yi, unable to contain his anger, grabbed one of Ouyang Jin’s legs and started to pull him back into the tunnel.
Irina couldn’t stand it any longer: “Alright, stop fooling around, the two of you.
Let Gu Fan get through.”
Fortunately, Lu Yi and Ouyang Jin were just playfully bickering.
They quickly got out of the tunnel, dusted off the dirt, and exchanged a defiant look.
Gu Fan couldn’t help but laugh.
Having these two jokers lighten the mood and relieve the pressure from ti to ti was actually quite beneficial to the team.
“The professionals always think ahead—truly thorough planning,” Gu Fan observed the tunnel, which was quite long but also narrow, forcing one to crawl through.
As for Irina, she explained that even such a tunnel had taken the Hunter’s Guild a year to clandestinely dig through, so Gu Fan had to be content and be grateful for the Guild’s labor.
In just a while, Gu Fan would be able to leave quietly through the secret passage, while Organization X was certain he was still in the inn.
Lin Xi was worried and wanted to follow.
But Gu Fan shook his head, because he couldn’t think of any good way for Lin Xi to infiltrate Dark City in the short term.
Everyone knew it was dangerous for Gu Fan to go into enemy territory alone, but then they thought, Gu Fan had just entered the enemy’s domain and successfully infiltrated the western nobility.
Maybe after so ti apart, Gu Fan might have climbed even higher?
Gu Fan instructed his companions to be cautious, especially if Organization X’s agents ca to negotiate again—there was nothing to discuss.
Just give them a demand that they couldn’t accept and end the negotiations that way.
Su Hui promised she would do her utmost to delay the discovery of Gu Fan’s absence by Organization X.
However, she cautioned Gu Fan to be prepared, because sooner or later, Organization X would find out.
Gu Fan took her words to heart, then bade farewell to his companions and crawled a great distance through the secret passage.
Finally, he erged from a house one hundred ters from the inn, which also belonged to the Hunter’s Guild.
Naturally, Gu Fan didn’t exit through the front door but through the back door, where a car had been ready and waiting.
Gu Fan lay on the back seat of the car, keeping as hidden as possible, and then had the driver take him to a specified location.
Li had been waiting at the agreed eting place for a long ti and was growing anxious, not seeing Gu Fan.
He feared that Gu Fan had been captured by Organization X and might be undergoing severe torture, possibly having already confessed.
When a car arrived, Li beca extrely nervous, uncertain if it was Gu Fan or Organization X.
But after Gu Fan got out of the car, a greatly relieved Li chided, “Man, why are you showing up now?”
“Sorry, I took a detour just to be safe,” Gu Fan replied with a grateful expression.
“I have to say, they were really thoughtful to have soone secretly escort part of the way.”
Li nodded in agreent: “Yes, they’re good people.
Just rember our stance, Tai.
We have to be clear.”
“Of course, I know I’m with Organization X, and Gu Fan and I can only be enemies.
But they have helped us after all.
If there’s a chance, we’ll repay them.” Gu Fan’s words were sincere, and Li concurred.
“Alright, let’s hurry back to report,” Li said, and he and Gu Fan imdiately went to the parked car and quickly left the small town.
To prevent Organization X from discovering their tracks, they returned using the sa cautious route: from this small town to another, and then from the other town to the Road of Death.
However, upon entering the other small town, Gu Fan again saw the ravaged buildings and was reminded of the rumor: two formidable individuals had fought, causing massive destruction, and one was wearing a mask.
“Please, man, let it not be you,” Gu Fan silently prayed.
Gu Fan had much to discuss with Lin Xi and Su Hui after their long-awaited reunion, and his focus had been on how to quietly avoid the eyes and ears of Organization X, so he had forgotten to ntion the possibility that the mysterious masked person had co to this era.
Had Gu Fan ntioned it, Su Hui, knowing she could not hide the truth, would have had to reveal that the masked person had appeared earlier and had defeated Zhuo Hang and the hunters, destroying the Special Event Investigation Team.
Then, Gu Fan, Lin Xi, and Su Hui would have been certain of sothing—that the mysterious masked person had co to stir things up and was likely headed for Dark City, and thus Gu Fan would have been prepared to deal with the masked individual.
Unfortunately, there were no ifs.
Su Hui’s well-aning concealnt and Gu Fan’s accidental oversight led to an irreversible situation.
