Chapter 241: Why Persist
They were worried that Gu Fan and his team were already known to the mysterious force, and were under surveillance. The moment Gu Fan impersonated Lei Haichen to enter the Elite Club he certainly would attract attention, hence, they wouldn’t be able to find out about the key people inside.
So Zhuo Hang got someone of Lei Haichen’s age from above to impersonate him, entering the Elite Club tonight pretending to be a first-timer, making small talk with the other members.
Zhuo Hang, Su Hui, and some others were staking out the place from outside. Their goal tonight was to gain an understanding of this Elite Club and plan the next steps based on what they learned.
Gu Fan insisted on being there to confirm something. He didn’t specify what it was but was adamant about it, implying that he’d come even if Zhuo Hang and Su Hui didn’t want him to.
Seeing Gu Fan’s sickly state, Su Hui attempted to persuade him to go home and rest. But Gu Fan was determined. Su Hui knew that it would be futile to persuade him more and believed that Gu Fan had a good reason for doing so.
The person impersonating Lei Haichen had already been inside for an hour, meeting people from all sorts of professions. He could see the yearning for future prospects in the eyes of these individuals likewise at the grassroots level, their thirst for resources and connections. Perhaps the Elite Club leverages on this aspect.
Then a figure resembling a manager appeared. He warmly greeted everyone, gave a speech mainly thanking them for their presence, promising not to disappoint. He also shared about the Club’s philosophy of generating results exponentially by consolidating limited abilities of the grassroots level and ensuring that no member would feel insignificant due to the vast resources at their disposal.
His words were convincing, spurring some newcomers to consider pledging their allegiance to the Club.
The impersonator moved around the club after the speech, attempting to ascertain if there were any higher-ranking personnel present. Also, he inquired if the man who gave the speech was the highest authority there.
