Chapter 327: Gaining Trust
Gu Fan chuckled intriguingly, "It seems like old man Tian knows quite a lot. If I remember right, you were initially reluctant to lead the team. However, after going into the house and taking a phone call, your attitude changed dramatically. If I’m not mistaken, you knew that a large group of people was heading towards Yuxueyun Mountain, and you came to see what was going on."
The old man Tian did not verbally respond, his face was clouded and terrifying, expressing an unusable attitude that gave others a headache.
Gu Fan paid no mind to this, then turned to Qin Jia and said, "Girls shouldn’t stay up late, it’s not good for your skin. You and Ning Qi should go to sleep."
"Ah...um..." Qin Jia was reluctant because she wanted to hear the upcoming discussion.
Even more displeased was Ning Qi: "Gu Fan, what do you mean by trying to get rid of me? Is there something that you do not want me to know? Aren’t we companions? I thought we had established trust along the way. I’ve shared my secrets with you, Gu Fan, how can you treat me this way?"
Hearing Ning Qi’s almost tearful complaints, Gu Fan was portrayed as a heartbreaker, drawing weird looks from others, and sparking suspicions about their relationship.
Feeling everyone’s strange glances, especially Lin Xi’s contemptuous stare, Gu Fan felt a headache coming on. With no other options, he turned to Su Hui for help.
But Su Hui was calm, unhurried, and left Gu Fan helpless when all he could do was flaunt a pitiful begging look.
Seeing Gu Fan’s pitiful state, Su Hui finally stepped up and said, "Ning Qi, we don’t distrust you. It’s just that the less you know about certain things, the better for your safety. Besides, your secret is only known by Gu Fan, no one else knows it, right?"
