Chapter 864 Unusual Actions
That day, Gu Fan was anxiously waiting at home because, according to the schedule, it was time for Gu Ling to come home to sleep, but she was nowhere to be seen.
Gu Fan had a bad premonition, and then his cellphone started ringing. Seeing that it was Qian Ye on the caller ID, his uneasy feeling intensified. Gu Ling was still not home, and now Qian Ye was calling. Could it be...
With a heavy heart, Gu Fan answered the call, "Hello, Your Majesty, it has been a while since I’ve heard your pleasant voice. What can I do for you? If it’s to reminisce, then forget it, I’ve been feeling nauseous lately."
"Gu Fan, I really admire you for managing to escape under those circumstances. But it’s a pity, isn’t it? You can run, but you can’t hide. I suppose you’re quite puzzled as to why your sister hasn’t come back yet," said Qian Ye arrogantly, with an air of having the upper hand.
Without even thinking, Gu Fan retorted, "Not at all, my sister just got back. She even had dinner with us. Why do you ask?"
Upon hearing this, Qian Ye paused for a moment before laughing uncontrollably, "Well then, Gu Fan, I’m going to hang up."
"Then hang up," Gu Fan said as he hung up the call, his face growing tense. He knew that Gu Ling was most likely in Qian Ye’s hands, and she would definitely want to exchange Gu Ling for the space-time door.
The space-time door could not be traded, and he needed to save Gu Ling, but how? Gu Fan knew that if he had continued the conversation, it would have allowed Qian Ye to set the terms for an exchange. And then he would have had no choice but to agree.
So Gu Fan decided to take the initiative and hang up, not giving Qian Ye a chance to speak. But the question was, would Qian Ye, out of anger and embarrassment, harm Gu Ling?
