Chapter 428: Beware of Strangers
Indeed, the reason Du Jun could secure such high-end accommodations was not because he was wealthy or a member of any kind. It was because he owned the hotel. Therefore, Du Jun was now sitting inside the surveillance room, eyes glued to the screen. He would alert Gu Fan instantly once he detected any suspicious individuals.
Qin Jia couldn’t help but chime in, "It’s indeed bold of Lin Xi to expose his whereabouts knowing full well the trouble at hand. Fearless, indeed."
Du Jun grimaced, "Lin Xi might not have taken this person named Qian Ying seriously at all. If I were Lin Xi, given that Shennv Xuanhui has already sought us out, we might as well face them head on."
At this moment, the surveillance screen showed Gu Fan pulling Lin Xi aside. Gu Fan was clearly questioning Lin Xi over the risky move.
Looping in apology, Lin Xi said, "I’m sorry, Gu Fan. I know I was a bit reckless this time but I was thinking, why did only Qian Ying target me the last time? Where is their elder sister? If she’s not here and we only have Qian Ying to contend with, I must seize this chance to defeat her."
Upon hearing this, Gu Fan understood his reasoning. It was hard to deal with Shennv Xuanhui, and breaking them down individually would be ideal.
"Alright, let’s figure this out together. We’ll surely overcome tonight’s hurdle. I have Du Jun stationed in the surveillance room, while Lu Yi and Jie are on the lookout. We don’t know how Ning Qi and Qian Ying are going to attack us; all we can do is defend ourselves." Gu Fan spoke, his face clearly denoting stress. He, too, was unsure of the outcome.
"Don’t worry, we can handle Qian Ying. If we can’t even do that..." Lin Xi left the sentence hanging but his implication was clear. If one Qian Ying had them falling flat, then they might just surrender when dealing with more formidable opponents like Qian Feng who crushed even the boss in defeat.
Afterwards, Gu Fan and Lin Xi returned to their seats, albeit without Lu Yi and Jie. Gu Fan explained it off as the two boys running off to play games; there were important missions to complete.
