Chapter 788: It’s Great to Have an Ex-Girlfriend
Deep into the night, David was unable to sleep. He sat in the living room’s couch, staring blankly into space. Every time he thought about his coworkers dying tragically and all their hard work turned into ruins, his heart ached, he felt suffocated, and he wanted to cry. Gu Fan couldn’t sleep either. He walked to the fridge and handed David a can of beer.
David hesitated for a moment before accepting the beer. Unable to resist a comment, he said, "You really treat this place like your own, helping yourself to my fridge."
Gu Fan just smiled at the remark. Sensing David’s defensiveness was wearing thin, Gu Fan said, "I feel deeply regretful about what has happened. Right now, we might be in danger from people from Organization X. The only one who might be able to help you is me, and vice versa."
"I know that what happened at the underground lab can’t be blamed on you, but I’m just pissed off." David, his face clouded over, took a gulp of beer and added, "Our underground lab was built while keeping a lot of people in the dark. It’s not something that we can report, so I can’t call the police."
Gu Fan answered gravely, "Indeed, you can’t report this. Doing so would reveal that there’s someone still alive from the underground lab, and Organization X would come back to look for you."
David felt a bit helpless. "Then, by your estimation, how are we supposed to fight against Organization X, just the three of us?"
"Who said there are only three of us? Don’t forget, I have many capable people by my side." Gu Fan was very confident when he said this.
Reminded of this, David thought of Qian Feng, the big boss, and others. He felt, indeed as Gu Fan hinted, they had the means to confront Organization X.
