Chapter 533: Delivering a Favor
Upon hearing all this, Boss Lei felt the condition was complex. While somewhat exhilarated, he also worried about being embroiled in a series of dangerous events. He wanted to escape but couldn’t curb his curiosity, indeed proving the saying, "Curiosity killed the cat."
Gu Fan scratched his head, it really wasn’t easy to explain, but he chose to say: "Boss Lei, what I’m about to tell you next might exceed your expectations. I ask that you stay calm until I finish speaking."
Boss Lei furrowed his eyebrows. He considered himself seasoned enough to handle any situation, so he believed he had the internal fortitude to deal with what was coming.
Gu Fan continued: "Currently, the six households living in the old house are divided into three opposing sides. The Luo and Zhu families have pledged allegiance to a person called the ’Big Boss’, the Zhang family serves a group of very powerful women, and my family, the Gu Family, has joined forces with the Liu family. We all want to claim the old house."
Upon hearing this, Boss Lei was a bit puzzled: "Why? Why is it that an old house is causing everyone to become enemies? What’s so great about it? How much can it be worth?"
Gu Fan shook his head: "No, Boss Lei, you misunderstood. I currently am clueless about the secret that this old house holds."
Boss Lei relaxed slightly. He had indeed overthought it. It couldn’t be that exaggerated.
Gu Fan said with a faint smile: "However, Boss Lei, your speculation is indeed correct. That snowstorm was indeed abnormal because someone was controlling it?"
"What? Someone can control a snowstorm? Gu Fan, stop joking with me." Boss Lei’s face sunk, feeling as if he was being mocked. But Gu Fan smirked, "Boss Lei, I’m not fibbing. Over that period, only the city I live in was struck with a blizzard, while the several other neighboring cities basked under the glaring sun. Boss Lei, have you ever witnessed such eccentric weather?"
