Chapter 187: Ruining the Atmosphere
A month later, the news was awash with stories about Luo Jingrong. Stories about him setting up a factory in the city, the wonders of the drugs produced by his company, the economic benefits it could bring, and the multitude of jobs it would create.
With the media’s praise, Luo Jingrong’s fame became unmatched, even surpassing the big celebrities.
When Gu Fan and Leng Le walked down the street, they saw Luo Jingrong related news on the screens of many shopping plazas. This made Gu Fan feel envious, sometimes feeling that this world is indeed prepared for celebrities.
However, Leng Le had only contempt in her eyes. Didn’t Gu Fan know? Wasn’t he aware that Luo Jingrong exposing himself in the public eye was primarily for security? Everyone was keeping an eye on his every move, so anyone with malicious intent would have to think twice.
So it happened, Leng Le had received a message from her boss, advising her to hold off targeting Luo Jingrong for now, to wait until all the fuss had died down.
Leng Le was left wondering what to do if the fuss never died down. Does she just stand by and watch her prey taunt her without being able to strike? The thought of this frustrated Leng Le so much that she rolled her eyes at Gu Fan. If it weren’t for Gu Fan messing up that night, Luo Jingrong would have been in Leng Le’s bag. Would she have this much trouble then?
Gu Fan, who received an unprovoked rolling of the eyes, felt baffled, wondering what he did wrong during a seemingly pleasant date. Did Leng Le possibly catch him sneaking a look at a passing beauty?
With no action to take during this period, Gu Fan and Leng Le were like a normal couple – dating, dining, shopping, watching movies, and occasionally flirting. For some reason, Leng Le had started to acclimate to this kind of lifestyle, even finding it rather appealing.
Nevertheless, Leng Le knew that even the most beautiful fairy tales must return to reality. She and Gu Fan were bound to break up eventually, though she was uncertain what the scene would look like. Seeing Gu Fan fully immersed in their relationship, Leng Le couldn’t bear to ruin it.
"No, can’t give in," Leng Le muttered to herself, clenching her teeth. She reminded herself how ruthless she had to be, how cold-hearted she always was, and that she could not let any feelings of affection get in the way of anything or anyone.
Just at that moment, there was a commotion on the street, which put Gu Fan and Leng Le on alert. They turned their heads to see three men running fiercely towards them, and police officers pursuing them.
