433: Chapter 433: Delaying Ti 433: Chapter 433: Delaying Ti Currently, Lin Xi is being held captive in the VIP room on the first floor.
Two guards were stationed outside, while two others guarded her from within.
On the rooftop of the second floor, Qian Ying was ditating on a couch, engrossed in casting a spell.
She is safeguarded by three guards as well.
The rest of the folks, whom Qian Ying had bewitched, were positioned at the front and rear entrances of the dining area.
They had been keeping an eye on Du Jun and his companions, without any respite.
Gu Ling was hiding in the surveillance room, observing everything in detail.
She was sure that Lin Xi had run into trouble and that Du Jun’s group was here to the rescue.
Given all this, Gu Ling decided to lend a hand.
Thus, she sent a ssage to Lu Yi: “Brother Lu, there’s an odd lady upstairs who is being guarded by three n.
Could you devise sothing to divert them away?”
At this very mont, Lu Yi was crouched atop a toilet bowl.
Seeing the ssage, he jolted: “What do you an, Xiaoling?
Are you also here?”
“Yes, I am.
I also have information on where Sister Lin Xi has been held captive.
You must listen to my advice if you are going to save her.” Having sent the ssage, Gu Ling realized that it was about ti to spring into action.
Her heart was surging with a boiling mix of excitent and trepidation.
“Alright, I will do my best.” After replying to the ssage, Lu Yi updated everyone else too.
Upon acknowledging, both Du Jun and Jie were taken aback.
They hadn’t anticipated Gu Ling’s involvent, especially under such circumstances when none were the wiser.
Then, Gu Fan noticed the ssage and raised a brow, wondering how Gu Ling had managed to entangle herself in the situation.
His mind harked back to the restaurant episode from the past.
As per Lin Xi’s plan, they simply needed to disrupt Qian Ying’s spell-casting to awaken everyone under her control.
This would render her completely defenseless, leaving them free to deal with her as they deed fit.
Previously, it was Gu Ling’s unforeseen slap that had rescued Lin Xi from Qian Ying’s clutches once.
Turns out she’d had to rely on Gu Ling this ti too.
Gu Fan was slightly nervous.
He dreaded any possible mistakes from his sister during her course of action.
However, he couldn’t abandon his post, as he was in charge of holding off Ning Qi.
With no ans to drive, Qian Ying was unable to control soone else to do it.
She had to bank on Ning Qi.
When Ning Qi didn’t show up eventually, Qian Ying grew increasingly suspicious.
On several occasions, Qian Ying, in an attempt to control a person, had hurriedly ssaged them.
On receiving the ssages, Ning Qi realized she couldn’t keep Qian Ying waiting.
Hence, she said to Gu Fan: “Alright, Gu Fan, I need to rush sowhere urgently now.
We can discuss old tis later.
Don’t worry, I am not mad at you.”
“So, are things between us…” Emboldened, Gu Fan seized Ning Qi’s hand, his countenance relaying an I-can’t-let-you-go vibe.
Done with Gu Fan’s clingy antics, Ning Qi feigned shyness and nodded, thinking to herself that all n were the sa breed.
Soon as their girlfriends left, they revved up their adulterous engines.
Feigning elation, Gu Fan leaned in to steal a kiss.
Albeit reluctantly, Ning Qi accepted, hoping Gu Fan would get the hint and get out of her car quickly after his mont of contentnt.
However, Gu Fan exceeded Ning Qi’s expectations.
He wanted to prolong their contact, which left her seething.
“Enough, Gu Fan, would you please stop this.
If you don’t, I’ll call the cops.”
Gu Fan wore a baffled expression, “What do you an?
You’re going to call the police just because I touched you a little?
Hey, we’ve been far more intimate than this back at Yuxueyun Mountain.
Go ahead, dial them up.
Let’s lay everything out in the open.”
Gu Fan, you…” Ning Qi didn’t know how to proceed.
Judging by his posture, he might actually divulge that Ning Qi had shot Hu Bo, sothing she wouldn’t like to happen.
Ning Qi began to plead: “Gu Fan, don’t you have a conscience?
Rember, I saved you once.”
All righteous, Gu Fan replied: “I did owe you one then and I am eternally grateful.
But since you’re intending to have arrested now, I need to take asures accordingly.”
Enraged beyond asure at his words, yet feeling helpless, Ning Qi gritted her teeth in frustration: “Alright, I won’t call.
Gu Fan, what do you really want?
Speak up.”
“Honestly, I don’t find Lin Xi to be the right match for .
So, I am considering a breakup.
Ning Qi, I am genuinely hoping to have you as my girlfriend.
After all, our bonding had been pretty good at Yuxueyun Mountain, and you saved my life once.” As he said these words, Gu Fan maintained a serious deanor.
At wit’s end, Ning Qi eventually nodded: “Okay, now I’m your girlfriend.
Rest assured.
Let’s start dating from tomorrow.
But tonight, I really have important stuff to deal with.
Please be considerate of your girlfriend, deal?”
“Agreed, no problem.
But let have five more minutes with you, fair enough?” As soon as he finished his sentence, Gu Fan flung himself onto Ning Qi without waiting for her reaction.
“Alright, I’ll give you five more minutes, Gu Fan.
I’ll endure.” Whispered Ning Qi.
“Everyone, hurry up.” Gu Fan had co up with this as his best bet.
He realised how keen Ning Qi was to leave.
Hence, no matter what Gu Fan said, she wouldn’t lend an ear.
He had to resort to practical actions to restrict her.
If he decided to idle around her car aimlessly, it would only arouse her suspicion and reveal his intentions of buying ti purposefully.
Accordingly, Gu Fan had to sohow make Ning Qi believe that his advances were a re result of his infatuation with her beauty.
A pursuit he was passionate about.
No, not yet.
Even so, when Gu Fan started taking physical initiative, Ning Qi was bound to get suspicious.
In Ning Qi’s perception after all, Gu Fan was not the hasty or impulsive type.
His activities seed quite unusual to her.
But at this point, Gu Fan had successfully hindered Ning Qi’s course of action, leaving her helpless.
She wanted to scream, but there was nary a soul in sight.
That was her own failing for deliberately choosing a less-trafficked road to elude pedestrians.
“Is sothing off?
Is Gu Fan deliberately trying to buy ti, suspecting Lin Xi to be in our clutches…” The mont this possibility occurred to Ning Qi, she beca surer than ever that she couldn’t alert the police or yell for help as that might blow their cover.
But upon rethinking, things didn’t add up for Ning Qi.
How did Gu Fan figure it out?
She was sure she hadn’t given herself away.
Perhaps Ning Qi was overthinking.
It could be that during their ti at Yuxueyun Mountain, due to high risks, Gu Fan had stayed on guard, especially in the presence of too many people around.
Maybe, this was indeed Gu Fan’s true persona.
Ning Qi glanced at the ti and noted that more than five minutes had passed and Gu Fan showed no signs of stopping, which was downright maddening.
After exactly fifteen long minutes, Gu Fan looked at his cell phone, chuckled at a new ssage, and then said to Ning Qi, “I am sorry for having taken up so much of your ti.
I am leaving now, sorry for the inconvenience.”
“What happened?” Asked Ning Qi, dumbfounded.
Since when did Gu Fan beco so decisive about leaving without an ounce of reluctance?
