Chapter 506: Surrounded on All Sides
During the deep of the night when everyone was quiet and the streets were almost empty, Gu Fan pulled his sister Gu Ling along as he sprinted, while calling Lin Xi on his phone. "Hey, beauty, I’m in trouble over here. Your good friend isn’t targeting you this time, she’s targeting me. And the big boss of the company, for some reason, has come to cause trouble on my turf. I can’t fight against this many enemies alone. I’m running for my life with Xiaoling right now."
"Get moving quickly, share your location with me, I’ll be right there." Lin Xi quickly dressed and headed out, praying a thousand times in her heart for the safety of Gu Fan and Gu Ling. She was also curious, wondering why Qian Feng and the boss would team up to attack Gu Fan and what he could have done to incur their wrath.
Meanwhile, Gu Fan reached out for help to everyone he could through mass messages. He was facing so many enemies and had no other choice but to run and ask for reinforcements.
Soon, everyone received Gu Fan’s plea for help and rushed over, especially Su Hui, who dropped her work to drive over as fast as she could.
"I have to find a way to get Xiaoling to a safe place." Gu Fan felt responsible for the trouble he put his sister in and was determined to carry the burden, no matter what happened.
Gu Fan took Gu Ling to a crossroad, intending to turn right, but Gu Ling warned, "No, we can’t turn right. We’ll run into something there. Can’t turn left either, because we’ll be spotted. Let’s just charge straight ahead."
"Alright, I’ll listen to you." Gu Fan trusted Gu Ling’s intuition and led her in a straight line forward.
Just after Gu Fan and Gu Ling crossed the street, a few people came from the right. They didn’t see Gu Fan and kept searching around. If Gu Fan hadn’t listened to Gu Ling and turned right instead, they would’ve run straight into these guys. Even if he turned left, they would still see him.
There were many alleyways near Gu Fan’s house. Although they weren’t too confusing, these alleys provided Gu Fan with perfect conditions for escape, especially because of Gu Ling’s intuitive abilities that helped them discern the dangerous from the safe routes.
