Chapter 110: Are You Trying to Murder Me?
「Shifeng Garden!」
After bribing the security guard with a pack of cigarettes, Zhou Fan smoothly got him to open the gate and drove right into the residential complex.
"Damn, brother-in-law, you're the man! I've been here before in this same car, but that idiot guard—it was like he had a screw loose or something. He insisted my car wasn't from the complex and wouldn't let me in for anything!" Seeing Zhou Fan's move, Chu Wen couldn't help but give him an admiring thumbs-up.
"What? You got a little mistress living here? Now, I'm not trying to lecture you as your brother-in-law, but even though this is a high-end complex, for someone of your status, keeping a girl here is a bit of a disgrace!"
"Brother-in-law, how can you say that about me? Aren't you also..."
"Say one more word of nonsense and I'll kick you out of the car. I'm here to see a colleague!"
"Right, right, a 'colleague.' Hey, just drop me off up ahead. I'm done messing with you. I'm heading to that building over there!" Chu Wen couldn't be bothered to argue with Zhou Fan and pointed to another building. He didn't really care who Zhou Fan was actually here to see.
In his eyes, when it came to men, it was always about one thing. As for whether Chu Yan would get angry, that was their business as a couple. He wasn't about to get involved.
"Go on, and try to spend wisely. Women will come to you on their own when they see you have money. Once you've spent it all, you can only please one woman at most, understand?" Zhou Fan stopped the car and handed a card to Chu Wen.
"Thanks, brother-in-law! Don't worry, about this... it's just between you, me, and the heavens!" Chu Wen happily took the card, flashing a grin that said, 'Don't worry, brother-in-law, your secret's safe with me,' then turned and ran off.
Zhou Fan stood there stunned for a moment, then cursed. 'Have I been misunderstood?'
Following the address Zhang Lei had sent, Zhou Fan found the right door.
Zhou Fan already knew Gu Feifei's address. It was in this same complex, in this same building—in fact, it was the apartment right above where he was standing now.
'In other words, that girl Gu Feifei had actually bought two apartments, one stacked on top of the other. A rich girl is a rich girl, indeed!'
He knocked on the door and waited a moment. Hearing no sound, he decisively activated his X-ray vision. The security door in front of him instantly turned transparent, and the scene inside the room came into view.
Inside the room, Gu Feifei was indeed there. She was curled up on the sofa, hugging her knees, not daring to move an inch. Her large, beautiful eyes were fixed on the door, unblinking and tense.
And on a bed not far from Gu Feifei, a person was lying down. Their breathing was faint, as if they were seriously injured. The next moment, Zhou Fan saw the person's face clearly. It was Gu Changkong!
Compared to the last time they had met, Gu Changkong looked much older, as if he could breathe his last at any moment.
Seeing this, Zhou Fan understood that something terrible must have happened to the Gu Family.
"Feifei, open the door! It's me, your Brother Fan!" Zhou Fan knocked again. Inside, Gu Feifei started to move but then stopped, apparently afraid it was a trick.
Left with no other choice, Zhou Fan resorted to his final option: brute force.
BANG!
He punched the lock cylinder, and the doorknob fell off with a crash. Zhou Fan pushed the door open and walked in.
"Ahhh...!"
Seeing the door broken open and a person entering, Gu Feifei screamed in terror. She grabbed a nearby kitchen knife she kept for self-defense and hurled it with all her might at the intruder.
"Holy crap, are you trying to murder me?" Even with his impressive skills, Zhou Fan was startled to see a kitchen knife flying at him. He quickly batted it away, then pulled the door partially shut, strode over to Gu Feifei, and smacked her on the forehead.
Gu Feifei stopped screaming. A wave of confusion, disbelief, and then joyous surprise washed over her beautiful eyes. She jumped up from the sofa and threw herself into Zhou Fan's arms. No longer able to control her emotions, she buried her face in his shoulder and began to sob quietly. "Sob... Brother Fan, I was so scared! What do I do? My family is gone... What am I supposed to do?"
Zhou Fan didn't say anything. He just held Gu Feifei, gently patting her back to soothe her frayed nerves after the prolonged tension led to an emotional breakdown.
After crying for a long while, Gu Feifei finally stopped, but she had fallen asleep on Zhou Fan's shoulder.
Zhou Fan didn't wake her. He gently laid her down on the sofa, figuring the poor girl hadn't slept for days, her emotions wound tight the entire time.
He went into the bedroom and looked at Gu Changkong, who was in a deep coma and could pass away at any moment. Zhou Fan sighed softly and called Qian Rong to bring him a set of silver needles.
"Have our guys keep an eye on West City. There's a bar there that might have news on Chu Yifeng and Elder Witch," Zhou Fan instructed quietly when Qian Rong delivered the silver needles.
A bar located in such a remote area, whose staff recognized Chu Wen, acted so arrogantly, and had bodyguards with considerable skill... Zhou Fan found it hard not to be suspicious.
Gu Changkong didn't have any severe external injuries; it was more a case of extreme anxiety and anger attacking his heart. After Zhou Fan used the silver needles to stabilize his heart meridian, the man slowly regained consciousness.
However, just as Gu Changkong opened his mouth to thank him, Zhou Fan held up a hand to stop him. In a flash, he vanished from the bedroom and reappeared by the partially closed door.
