Chapter 515 - The Big Boss’s Dominance
"Are you truly that confident?" Liu Yao remained hesitant, fearing that choosing the wrong side might cause her to bear the brunt of the boss’s ruthless retaliation.
Gu Fan nodded, "If my guess is correct, all six families are each concealing a secret. If the boss targets you, then the secret the Liu family is safeguarding will also disappear forever; that would be a considerable loss for everyone."
Liu Yao understood Gu Fan’s point. If anything were to happen to her, the secret of the old house would be forever buried. Therefore, she should not be overly concerned about reprisal from the boss.
"So, have you made your decision? Will you stand with me, or the boss, or perhaps you prefer to act independently?" After speaking, Gu Fan’s eyes filled with anticipation.
Liu Yao deliberated for a moment, then responded, "I can align myself with you, but the boss must not know about this."
"Very well, I understand. You are secretly taking my side. I won’t spill it." Gu Fan was rather satisfied with this answer, then he bid goodbye to Liu Yao. After all, he had more pressing matters to attend to.
However, as Liu Yao turned a corner and walked a bit further towards the parking lot, she was taken aback. To her horror, she saw the boss leaning against her car.
Noticing Liu Yao’s stiff body language, Gu Fan rushed to the parking lot. Upon seeing the boss, he was stricken with panic. He feared both raising the boss’s ire to the point of violence and the possibility of the boss having overheard their conversation.
The boss approached, offering a compliment, "Impressive, Gu Fan. You have anticipated this and preemptively snatched Liu Yao right from under my nose. Your actions truly give me pause."
