240: Chapter 240: News About Her 240: Chapter 240: News About Her That night, Lei Haichen went to the Elite Club, following the address provided by Gu Fan, stayed for a few hours, and ca back thrilled.
He quickly grasped Gu Fan’s hand, repeatedly expressing his gratitude.
“Gu Fan, you were right, it’s a great place,” Lei Haichen said excitedly as if he had found a treasure.
He was so thankful he almost hugged Gu Fan.
“I’m glad you enjoyed it.” Gu Fan wasn’t feeling too good, he felt drowsy, but he asked: “I wonder what they wanted you to do.”
Lei Haichen imdiately replied, “They didn’t ask to do anything, they just asked so questions as if they were assessing my qualification.
They told that they didn’t want to engage in any law-breaking activities, but whenever I need help, I just need to tell them, and they’ll find soone to assist .
Of course, I need to give sothing in return, essentially – an exchange of favors.
Whether or not I agree is entirely up to .”
Gu Fan nodded, he was not surprised.
All this was within his expectations.
He couldn’t help but cough a few tis.
Lei Haichen continued, “There’s an elite gathering tomorrow night, attended by people like myself who work at the grassroots level.
There, I can get to know so people – police officers, lawyers, doctors, and a variety of staff mbers.
I really love the Elite Club.” As he finished, Lei Haichen took out his mbership card.
Gu Fan took the mbership card, mustered a faint smile and said, “Sorry, old classmate, let borrow this card.
I’ll attend the gathering tomorrow on your behalf.
Consider it a repaynt for my help.
I need to get into this elite club.”
“Oh…” Lei Haichen was surprised, Gu Fan quickly explained: “I’ll just use it once or twice and return it imdiately.
Don’t worry, I won’t tarnish your reputation.
I helped you join this elite club, could you help too?”
“Well, I guess so.” Lei Haichen agreed reluctantly as he was keen to attend the party to et new people from various sectors, but out of respect for his friend, he gave in.
Suddenly thinking of sothing, Lei Haichen quickly said, “I have posted about your success in winning over the female boss in our alumni group.
Everyone admires you and so have expressed a desire for you to share your success strategy.”
If Gu Fan was well in health, he would have given Lei Haichen a smack for posting such personal matters in the alumni group.
Lei Haichen then said, “I have so good news for you.
The woman you once had a crush on seems to have beco single again.
Just so you know, she has very high standards.”
“She’s single now?” Gu Fan’s heart skipped a beat.
The forgotten mories were once again ignited, and he gave a slight laugh.
“Alright, I will return it to you after using it tomorrow.
Don’t worry, I won’t tarnish your reputation.” Gu Fan bid Lei Haichen farewell due to his unsteady health, leaving his friend quite puzzled.
When Lei Haichen left, Gu Fan returned to his room and opened a drawer to retrieve a tal box filled with his youthful reminiscences, including photos and a worthless ring.
The picture showed a girl in a school uniform with a ponytail.
She was beautiful, pure, and her laughter was lovely, like an angel.
Looking at the photo, Gu Fan couldn’t help but to smile, as if he was reliving the truly wonderful monts.
The mory of the girl looking upset, “Gu Fan, you are awful.
You promised to pass the cheat sheet during the exam, why did you hand it over so late?
I didn’t even have ti to copy.”
“Please, the invigilating teacher was foucsed on surveillance, I would be reprimanded school-wide if I got caught.”
Gu Fan recalled that exam.
The girl sat behind him, frequently nudging his chair with her foot, urging him to quickly pass back the answer sheet.
It was the first ti Gu Fan helped soone cheated in a test.
He was anxious and guilty, carefully observing the teacher’s actions.
Seizing the chance, he managed to pass the small piece of paper with the answers written on it into the girl’s shoe.
Even up till now, the thrill and excitent of that mont still lingered in Gu Fan’s mind.
Those youthful days were naive, but irreplaceable, that was the essence of youth.
It ended with the ring, a token of appreciation given to Gu Fan by the girl after she achieved good results in her exams.
However, the girl made it clear that the ring was just a simple gift among friends, and Gu Fan should not misunderstand.
At that ti, Gu Fan was naive enough not to think too much about it, even when he saw the sa ring on the girl’s finger.
He didn’t give it much thought.
Until one day during the sumr break, after being reminded by his classmates, Gu Fan realized his folly and decided to confess his feelings to the girl when the term comnced.
However, things took an unexpected turn.
On the first day of their final school year, the girl didn’t show up.
She had transferred to a better school, as suggested by her parents, to strive for the last year before college.
Since then, Gu Fan never saw the girl again.
Occasionally, he would hear from his classmates that she was doing well and had gotten into her desired university.
The incident was a regret of his youth.
Whenever he thought about those tis, he felt a sense of loss.
He criticized himself for his inadequacy, why didn’t he confess his feelings and keep in touch?
There was indeed such a long period of disconnection.
Now, it was too late; even if they t again, they would be strangers.
However, because he didn’t want to have any more regrets, Gu Fan found the courage to pursue Lin Xi.
The happiness brought about by being together with Lin Xi helped Gu Fan gradually forget the girl.
What Gu Fan didn’t expect was that Lin Xi would bring about a bigger heartache, a wound that had yet to heal, even with the presence of Leng Le.
Because one was a simple secret crush, hence only regrets were left.
However, the other was a fervent pursuit that caused deep emotional pain.
“I hope you are doing well.” Gu Fan exhaled deeply, put the photo and the ring back into the tal box, and sealed away all those past mories.
Now, Gu Fan only wanted to resolve everything, identify the mysterious entity, restore peace to the world, and live his own simple life, like an ordinary person, striving to marry Leng Le.
In order to achieve this goal, tomorrow’s mission must be successful.
Just as Gu Fan was quietly making his vow, a bout of coughing put out his ambitious aspirations.
He did not understand what was happening to him.
He felt terrible, more terrible than ever before.
When Su Hui rushed ho, she was greatly worried seeing Gu Fan unable to stand steady.
In his current state, how would he able to participate in tomorrow’s mission?
