868: Chapter 868: What Exactly is the Identity?
After a while, Helen also returned.
As soon as she entered the house, she saw Gu Fan with a troubled frown and quickly asked, “What’s the matter, has sothing happened?”
Gu Fan didn’t answer.
Instead, he showed Helen the video he had just recorded.
Upon seeing it, Helen looked sowhat horrified.
“They are indeed hurting Xiaoling, so what do you plan to do, Gu Fan?” Helen asked earnestly, looking directly into Gu Fan’s eyes, but Gu Fan avoided her gaze, sighed, and then got up and left.
Helen was a bit anxious, “Wait a minute, Gu Fan, where are you going?”
“I want to go out and clear my head, don’t follow ,” Gu Fan answered listlessly.
He trudged away and then closed the door behind him.
“This…” Helen turned to look at Su Hui, but Su Hui didn’t respond to Helen and went back to her own room.
With Gu Fan out, Su Hui locked in her room, and Gu Ling captured, the old house suddenly felt chilly and lonely to Helen, making her uneasy.
She then began to worry—seeing the state Gu Fan was in just now, it seed like he was out of ideas; could he really be planning to trade the space-ti door for Gu Ling?
Although Helen said the organization didn’t necessarily need the space-ti door, that was a lie ant to deceive Gu Fan.
In fact, the organization had made it clear: the space-ti door must be obtained.
Now, seeing the direction things were headed, Gu Fan really might hand over the space-ti door.
If the space-ti door were destroyed, then Helen wouldn’t be able to explain to the organization.
Even though her grandfather held a significant position within the organization and could keep her safe, she would be made a target by another faction within the organization.
To seize the space-ti door, the first condition was that the space-ti door had to be intact.
Helen decided to help Gu Fan, or more precisely, to intervene when Gu Fan was making the trade with Qian Ye.
“Gu Fan, don’t bla for not caring about Gu Ling’s fate, but we are resolutely set on obtaining the space-ti door.” Helen had already made a plan, and then, having just returned, she went out again imdiately.
In fact, Gu Fan hadn’t gone far.
After leaving the old house, he hid in a corner observing.
When he saw that Helen had also left, he roughly guessed what she was intending to do.
After Helen had gone a distance, Gu Fan imdiately returned ho and even knocked on Su Hui’s door, calling her out and making a silent gesture.
Gu Fan and Su Hui began to search the living room and finally found a bug under the coffee table.
This device hadn’t been there before; it must have been installed recently, most likely by Helen.
Then, Gu Fan and Su Hui calmly put the bug back where they found it, acting as if they hadn’t seen it, and they started to play-act.
First, Gu Fan sighed, “Now that Helen is gone, I wanted to discuss with you, Sister Su.
Tomorrow night, we’ll deliver the space-ti door to Qian Ye to trade for Gu Ling’s safety.”
To this, Su Hui felt uneasy, “Xiaoling must be saved.
If Gu Ling’s safety can be traded for with the space-ti door, then it’s worth it.
Plus, without the space-ti door, the enemies will have no reason to target us anymore—it’s better for everyone, except for Lin Xi.”
Gu Fan sighed with a tone of helplessness, “I trust Lin Xi will understand.
Although Lin Xi can’t co back from ancient tis, at least she’s alive and can beco an empress, but Xiaoling’s life is in danger—it’s different.
We can only choose one.”
“Then we must be careful with this affair.
We absolutely can’t let Helen know, or she will definitely try to stop us.
If the transaction with Qian Ye is disrupted, it could provoke their fury, and who knows what they might do to hurt Xiaoling,” said Su Hui, expressing her concerns.
At that mont, Helen wasn’t far away in her car.
Seeing that Gu Fan had sneaked back, she knew he must be secretly planning sothing with Su Hui.
So, she connected to the bug and understood Gu Fan’s thinking.
“Oh, Gu Fan, I knew you were cunning, trying to make the trade behind our backs.
You won’t get away with it,” Helen grumbled, unaware that she had fallen for a trap, wholly fixated on snatching the space-ti door.
Next, Helen learned that the trade with Qian Ye was set for tomorrow night, and the location would be at an abandoned old factory, among other details.
After a while, when Helen heard Gu Fan and Su Hui were going back to their rooms to rest early, to brace themselves for the next night’s event, she felt there was no need to keep listening and started the car to leave.
The information Helen had heard, of course, was deliberately let out by Gu Fan and Su Hui.
After they were sure Helen had really left, Gu Fan went alone to the balcony to catch the breeze.
He wanted to have so alone ti to contemplate, to think about anything he might have missed.
After a bit, Su Hui ca with a can of beer, handed it to Gu Fan, and comforted him, “Since we’re sure Qian Feng and Qian Ye won’t harm Gu Ling, there’s no need for you to worry about tomorrow night.”
Gu Fan sighed, “Whether Gu Ling can be rescued tomorrow night is still uncertain, but upsetting Qian Feng, Qian Ye, and Organization X is a given.
Life will be tough for us from now on.”
“Yes, but you have the Destiny Stone.
No matter what the enemy does, they can’t do anything to you.
And as long as Gu Ling has Qian Feng’s protection, she’ll be safe, too.
It’s actually who’s in the most danger,” Su Hui concluded with a wry expression.
Gu Fan chuckled, “With Zhuo Hang to protect you, you’ll be safe too.
We all need to be well tomorrow.”
“I hope so.
But I always have a bad feeling,” Su Hui frowned and looked uneasy, then voiced her doubt, “At tomorrow night’s trade, I expect mbers of the Shennv Xuanhui to be there, and with Qian Feng plus Qian Ye’s combination, I predict they’ll be the ones to end up with the space-ti door.”
To that, Gu Fan shook his head, “Trust , I hope it’s them, but I have a feeling that in the end, the winner will be Organization X.”
“How could that be, it’s clearly you.
Your plan is so sly, completely deceiving Helen, and forcing Organization X to act.
Helen will definitely be furious,” Su Hui reasoned, while Gu Fan could only shake his head and give a bitter smile, “I had no other choice.”
Speaking of Helen reminded Gu Fan of sothing—that was Helen’s familiarity with the old house and the room.
After Su Hui learned about Helen’s knowledge of secrets regarding the old house from Gu Fan, Su Hui was also surprised, “No way, Helen actually knows so secrets of the old house that even you don’t know?”
“Yes, but I’m sure, our family never had any foreigners over before,” Gu Fan just couldn’t understand how Helen had managed it.
It must have been soone telling Helen, but who could that person be?
Gu Fan ruled out one by one the people who had lived in the old house before, and finally, he thought of soone, instantly aghast, “No way, heavens, it can’t turn out to be like that.”
