Chapter 791: Find a Backing
Since they were unwilling to stroll down the main streets, Gu Fan, Su Hui, Leng Le, and David had to tread down the alleys. However, this time around, they were led by David who was familiar with the area. Consequently, it didn’t take them long to move away from the trouble-prone area.
Once they reached a relatively safe location and had exhausted themselves from running, they decided to rest. Leng Le immediately made a phone call to arrange for backup.
Gu Fan and Leng Le exchanged glances. It was unexpected to them that they would meet at a place like this, and what puzzled Leng Le the most was the trouble that seemingly came out of the blue. Just how had this happened?
She pondered over how she had received an SOS call from Gu Fan and was immediately attacked afterwards—the fact that Gu Fan happened to stay near her seemed too much of a coincidence.
Seeing the skeptical look on Leng Le’s face, Gu Fan quickly changed the topic, "Take a look at my ex-girlfriend. I’ve done so much for you. Even after you rejected my call for help, I didn’t just turn a blind eye to you when you were in danger. This is, what’s it called again? Oh yes, true love."
Hearing this, Leng Le rolled her eyes and questioned, "Why are you here, Gu Fan?"
"Didn’t I make it clear on the phone? I was in trouble, stuck in a city overseas and needed you to save me. I just didn’t expect you to be right next door to me. What was that one saying about ’fate making people meet despite long distances’?," Gu Fan responded with an air of casualness, even though he seemed a tad uneasy, which aroused Leng Le’s suspicion.
Gu Fan posed a counter-question, "What about you, Leng Le? Why were you targeted? Can’t you lead a peaceful life abroad without stirring up trouble everywhere? That’s why we broke up—because you seem to enjoy causing commotion."
Leng Le was fuming. She felt wronged because she was merely there for vacation—take a walk here, shop there—she hadn’t provoked anyone, had she?
