Chapter 534: Changing the Qi Destiny
Pressed for time, after getting through some trivial matters, Boss Ding and Gu Fan immediately purchased sleeper train tickets to return to their city.
With the funding secured, Boss Ding was beaming, "Gu Fan, you’re quite something! If not for your assistance to Boss Lei’s daughter, Boss Lei wouldn’t have aided me once again. I’ll remember your contribution. I’ll give you a raise when we get back."
"Thank you, Boss Ding." Gu Fan wasn’t too enthusiastic. All he wanted to know was how things were with Boss Lei.
Suddenly, Gu Fan’s cellphone lit up with a message from Ning Qi. The gist of it was a thank you for the valuable information Gu Fan had provided which enabled the Shennv Xuanhui to be successfully completed.
"So, it’s balanced now?" Gu Fan knew that if three factions could remain evenly matched, it would maintain a balanced situation; everyone could enjoy a temporary period of peace. As long as no one slipped up, the balance could be a long-lasting one.
Having found the person from the Lei family and maintaining the balance, Gu Fan’s next mission was to decipher the mysteries that the old house held. After all that had happened and all the coincidences— weren’t any of them connected?
Unable to figure it out, Gu Fan was left gazing at the passing scenery through the train window. As night fell and his thoughts wandered, he was finally jolted back by the sound of Boss Ding’s snoring.
Observing Boss Ding sleeping so soundly brought a smile to Gu Fan’s face. If it hadn’t been for meeting Boss Ding, he might have never found the man from the Lei family. Gu Fan was confident of one thing though: it wasn’t a stroke of luck; it was destined. Why destiny had arranged things in this way, he suspected, had something to do with the old house.
Once back in the city, Gu Fan claimed exhaustion and requested a day off to rest. Boss Ding agreed; with the funds now in hand, he was eager to put them to good use and had no time to bother with why Gu Fan was taking the day off.
