Chapter 240: News About Her
That night, Lei Haichen went to the Elite Club, following the address provided by Gu Fan, stayed for a few hours, and came back thrilled. He quickly grasped Gu Fan’s hand, repeatedly expressing his gratitude.
"Gu Fan, you were right, it’s a great place," Lei Haichen said excitedly as if he had found a treasure. He was so thankful he almost hugged Gu Fan.
"I’m glad you enjoyed it." Gu Fan wasn’t feeling too good, he felt drowsy, but he asked: "I wonder what they wanted you to do."
Lei Haichen immediately replied, "They didn’t ask me to do anything, they just asked me some questions as if they were assessing my qualification. They told me that they didn’t want me to engage in any law-breaking activities, but whenever I need help, I just need to tell them, and they’ll find someone to assist me. Of course, I need to give something in return, essentially - an exchange of favors. Whether or not I agree is entirely up to me."
Gu Fan nodded, he was not surprised. All this was within his expectations. He couldn’t help but cough a few times.
Lei Haichen continued, "There’s an elite gathering tomorrow night, attended by people like myself who work at the grassroots level. There, I can get to know some people - police officers, lawyers, doctors, and a variety of staff members. I really love the Elite Club." As he finished, Lei Haichen took out his membership card.
Gu Fan took the membership card, mustered a faint smile and said, "Sorry, old classmate, let me borrow this card. I’ll attend the gathering tomorrow on your behalf. Consider it a repayment for my help. I need to get into this elite club."
"Oh..." Lei Haichen was surprised, Gu Fan quickly explained: "I’ll just use it once or twice and return it immediately. Don’t worry, I won’t tarnish your reputation. I helped you join this elite club, could you help me too?"
"Well, I guess so." Lei Haichen agreed reluctantly as he was keen to attend the party to meet new people from various sectors, but out of respect for his friend, he gave in.
