252: Chapter 252: Living in the Sa City 252: Chapter 252: Living in the Sa City The day passed by quickly, filled with exhaustion.
Gu Fan returned ho with his tried body and slumped onto the sofa, staring blankly at the ceiling.
It was a while before he sighed heavily.
Gu Fan realized that he had been overlooking a key point.
What if Lin Xi was also forced into her circumstances?
After her mories of her past life were awakened, she may have felt obliged to fulfill her previous promises.
She may have been thrust into a leadership position by Du Jun and his team, forced to lead them in their quest for eternal life.
Was Lin Xi willing or was she forced to do so?
Those were two entirely different issues.
Shaking his head, Gu Fan decided to stop thinking about it.
The issues involved were too nurous.
Given how things had progressed, if he tried to understand everything, it might…
Gu Fan rembered Lin Xi’s words once more.
She had said that if she wanted to, she could use her supernatural power to erase Gu Fan’s mories.
But she didn’t do that.
Instead, she willingly let Gu Fan pull her away.
What did that indicate?
Gu Fan seed to have noticed sothing, but he did not chase after Lin Xi, because at that mont, the image of Leng Le flashed in his mind.
The more Gu Fan thought, the more his headache worsened.
He clenched his fists and breathed deeply in an attempt to suppress his tumultuous emotions.
He could only tell himself that the past was over.
Regardless of who was right or wrong, and regardless of the truth, everything was in the past.
The most important thing right now was to seize the present.
Just as Gu Fan had finally put those ssy thoughts aside, Su Hui returned ho.
Upon entering the room, her solemn expression was imdiately noticeable.
A little worried, Gu Fan asked her, “What’s wrong, Sister Su.
You don’t look too well.”
“We’ve found Liu Yao.
She’s in a developed city abroad.” When Su Hui ntioned the na of the city, Gu Fan was left dumbstruck.
That was the city where his parents and younger sister lived.
Of course, Gu Fan had ntioned this to Su Hui before.
So when she found out that Liu Yao was in that foreign city, she couldn’t help but think what a coincidence it was.
There were too many coincidences.
But now the most important thing was to find Liu Yao.
As such, Zhuo Hang had dispatched people in advance.
Due to her responsibilities as a civil servant, Su Hui couldn’t leave randomly, so she had to put her hope in her colleagues.
Gu Fan was a bit concerned: “Liu Yao might be heavily guarded.
The people Zhuo Hang sent out might not be able to get close to Liu Yao.”
That was also a concern Su Hui had: “Indeed, there’s a high probability of that.
But I’m more worried about a top assassin being sent by the mysterious force to silence her.
Hai might even be involved.”
ntioning Hai made Gu Fan shiver, because he hadn’t heard from Hai recently.
According to Jie, Hai had been sailing recently.
By following the shipping schedule, he’d be abroad for several months before returning.
“If my guess is correct, a ship from the Lengbing Ocean Shipping Company recently set sail for that foreign city.
Hai might have been on board.” Gu Fan’s worry was not unfounded.
But Su Hui was concerned about another matter: “Whether the mysterious force would make a move on Liu Yao is still uncertain.
Because Liu Yao is now abroad and can’t communicate with us, and we can’t easily approach her.
Therefore, the mysterious force would have no reason to act against Liu Yao, unless they wanted to offend Yuan Zhenggang and Liu Zhendong.”
“Indeed, on the surface, it seems unlikely that the mysterious force would act against Liu Yao.
But once they realize that soone unusual has found Liu Yao, they’ll definitely suspect that we’ve discovered her whereabouts.
The mysterious force will then definitely take action.” Gu Fan’s words undoubtedly heightened Su Hui’s tension.
She realized the risk.
Finding informants can also project danger onto them.
However, they had to continue the investigation, right?
The best they could do was to make every possible effort to ensure Liu Yao’s safety.
Gu Fan didn’t object either.
He was just a bit worried and hoped that Su Hui and Zhuo Hang could provide adequate protection.
Seeing this, Su Hui seed puzzled.
“What’s the matter with you, Gu Fan?
Why do you care so much about Liu Yao?
Do you regret that she married soone else instead of you?
Yes, if the Liu family hadn’t moved away, you two would have been childhood sweethearts.”
Gu Fan imdiately protested, “Sister Su, can we focus on the issue at hand?
Stop making such taunting comnts.”
Teasing him, Su Hui laughed, “Where did I taunt you?
Look at how fortunate you are.
You didn’t marry Liu Yao, but you ended up with one of her best friends.
What does this show?
Your fate with Liu Yao was this close.
So don’t worry too much.
Perhaps one day, if Liu Yao and Yuan Cheng divorce, you’ll have another chance to rekindle your old fla with Liu Yao.
That is, if you’re willing to break up with Leng Le.”
“What nonsense is this!” Gu Fan felt extrely bewildered.
He secretly thought that Su Hui was disguising her true intentions, hoping that Liu Yao would be unhappy after marrying Yuan Cheng.
Just then, Su Hui received a text ssage from Zhuo Hang.
After reading what it said, her brow furrowed, “Gu Fan, you were right.
A few days ago, a ship from the Lengbing Ocean Shipping Company did indeed dock in the port of that foreign city.
They have arrived before us.
It seems the situation we were worried about might just happen.”
“So, until our people arrive, Liu Yao can only pray for her own safety.” A surge of unease welled up in Gu Fan’s mind.
He had a premonition that sothing terrible was about to happen.
He hoped he was just overthinking, but…
Su Hui added, “On the Lengbing Ocean Shipping Company’s ship, there was soone who Zhuo Hang had planted as an undercover agent.
That person confird that Hai was on the ship, along with a very powerful female supervisor.
They were definitely not there for business.”
“I understand!” When Gu Fan was lost in his concerns, he received a text ssage.
It was from his sister.
The ssage started off as usual, filled with warm words and praises of Gu Fan as the best brother, before ending with a request for so pocket money.
Gu Fan was at a loss for words.
He imdiately replied, “Girl, I thought you could always pick up money off the streets.
How is it not enough?”
This girl wanted to buy clothes, jewelry, and all sorts of other things.
In short, she didn’t have enough money.
She was hoping that her wonderful brother, Gu Fan, could subsidize a bit.
Gu Fan had no choice but to agree, which resulted in him being re-labeled as the best brother in the world by his sister.
Seeing Gu Fan’s reaction, Su Hui was a bit curious, “What do you an by being able to pick up money all the ti?
How can anyone be so lucky?”
According to Gu Fan, his sister really was that lucky.
She could often find cash while simply walking down the street.
Back then, Liu Yao would often take Gu Fan’s sister out for walks.
Then, with whatever money they’d find, they’d buy snacks.
Upon hearing this, Su Hui found it unbelievable.
At the sa ti, she also wished to experience such exceptional good luck where she could find money all the ti.
Then she wouldn’t have to work so hard on her job.
