Chapter 85: One More to Go
Eleven of the fourteen students who entered the secret room have already gone missing, leaving only Lin Xi, Du Jun, and another female student named Yang Yiran.
According to Gu Fan’s speculation, twelve people are needed for the sacrifice, and they are short of the last one. This means that among the remaining three, one will be the final one to disappear,
Gu Fan is now closely guarding Lin Xi. Although he believes he can’t fully prevent the actions of the hidden perpetrator, he can protect Lin Xi and secure his future wife and continuation of his lineage. Of course, all this is nonsense; most importantly, Gu Fan truly loves Lin Xi.
In order to prepare for the worst, Du Jun even asked his family to arrange for a driver to pick him up and drop him off, who is also a retired special forces soldier, essentially a driver-cum-bodyguard.
For Lin Xi, Gu Fan is her bodyguard. Gu Fan also mentioned that his boxing skills have greatly improved recently. He can spar with Su Hui for ten rounds without losing, although after ten rounds he would still end up disoriented, putting aside Gu Fan’s thoughts of raising the rent.
Now, Gu Fan and Lin Xi walk hand in hand around the campus. After all that’s happened, they have no mood for romance, constantly worrying about when the crisis will strike.
As they were walking around the campus, Gu Fan said, "Although the school is relatively safe as no one has disappeared from within the school yet, you still need to be careful. Especially when I am not at school, try not to leave your dormitory. Even if you do, always be with at least two people."
"Alright, I got it, you’ve said it multiple times." Lin Xi seems impatient, but she knows that Gu Fan is saying this for her own good. Yet, her fear is overwhelming, making her lack the patience to hear Gu Fan repeating the same cautionary advice.
Gu Fan understood and didn’t say much more, clutching Lin Xi’s hand tightly, making her feel the strength of his protection by her side.
At this moment, a couple approached them. The male was tall and strong, holding a beautiful woman next to him, smiling so brightly, clearly expressing his joy of winning the beauty’s heart.
The woman was Yang Xinran. She had an indifferent expression on her face, only uttering a courteous laugh, seemingly not surrounded by the happiness of love.
