Chapter 268: Heart-to-Heart Conversation
When Gu Fan walked up the stairs with heavy steps, he indeed saw Su Hui standing on the balcony, leaning against the railing, gazing woodenly at the lights outside, a look of worry on her face.
Gu Fan walked over and handed a can of beer to Su Hui. Su Hui forced a smile and then took it.
It was always like this in the past. Whenever Gu Fan or Su Hui felt troubled, they would go to the balcony to feel the breeze and appreciate the scenery. Then, the other would come over with a beer to alleviate the other’s mood, and this had become an unspoken agreement between them.
After clinking their beer cans together and taking a sip, Gu Fan asked: "I know it’s not my place to meddle in your relationship with your boyfriend, but I want to know if the reason behind your argument with Zhuo Hang is related to that incident."
To this, Su Hui nodded and sighed: "He just wanted to know the whole truth. He wanted to know what I’ve been through. He said he wanted to help me and that I should trust him."
Gu Fan pondered for a moment: "You should trust your boyfriend, and you should also trust his ability to handle the truth, especially since he already knows about the existence of ’The Boss’."
"What will happen if he knows everything and tells the higher-ups? How will they investigate this? Do you think Du Jun and Lin Xi can escape?" Su Hui wore a troubled expression. After all, she owed Lin Xi for saving her once. She couldn’t betray him. Furthermore, Lin Xi hadn’t done anything heinous and the twelve classmates had returned safely.
A hesitant look appeared on Gu Fan’s face: "Sister Su, I know you’re in a difficult situation, but you should do what your duty calls for. No matter what choice you make, I will stand by you."
"I understand that even though the twelve classmates returned safely, it doesn’t mean that nothing happened. Everyone has to be responsible for their actions. But after careful consideration, the world isn’t simply black and white. Some people may have made mistakes, but it doesn’t mean they can’t be forgiven. And besides, ’The Boss’ is still a threat. We need Lin Xi." After some thought, Su Hui said: "Perhaps it’s fate. We need Lin Xi to deal with ’The Boss’ now, or we will all be in serious trouble."
