Chapter 189: Strange Reaction
Based on the location Lu Yi sent, Gu Fan found the abandoned construction site. He sighed quietly, admitting that this place was hard to find. It was so off-the-beaten-path with no villages or stores nearby; no wonder its construction had stalled.
When Gu Fan finally found Lu Yi, he noticed Lu Yi looked extremely shaken. He decided to get the full story.
During their phone call, Lu Yi had only given him a rough overview. Now, he was explaining in complete detail, causing Gu Fan to furrow his brows in concern. This didn’t feel good, the situation was getting complicated, and he didn’t want to be involved in it.
"Are you serious? That is brutal - not only beat and killed the victim, but they also did the same to the escort team. Those people are certainly audacious." Gu Fan said with a feeling of dread. Shaking his head, he added: "I think we should mind our own business. We should concentrate on our roles as ambitious college students while they haven’t noticed us yet."
Lu Yi could only force a bitter laugh. "Bro, I wish I could live a peaceful life too. But fate has put me here. This secret force threw Old Xing into the sea, and I happened to be passing by. Coincidentally, I was also nearby when they attacked the escort vehicle. Now, what do you call this kind of situation?"
"It indeed seems like destiny." Gu Fan tapped his forehead, dreading why he was pulled into all of these matters.
Lu Yi showed Gu Fan the video he had taken with his smartphone. It showed a group of men wearing black masks running amok. While their faces were hidden, one of them was tall and muscular, strikingly similar to a formidable adversary they encountered in Qianye Country, an opponent not even Su Hui could defeat.
"So, it really is them. But there aren’t more clues from this video." Gu Fan said with a sigh. If he was doomed to be wrapped up in this, he should at least identify the culprits, that way he could seize the initiative.
Lu Yi nodded, "Earlier, I almost saved someone. He told me something... something about a cold woman, something frosty."
"Is that all?" Gu Fan looked disappointed. It didn’t provide any useful clues.
At Lu Yi’s suggestion, Gu Fan joined him to see Old Xing. The man they found was dirty, with disheveled hair, scant, and haggard, huddled in a corner.
