Chapter 924 Forced to Cooperate
Having narrowly escaped death yet again, Gu Fan looked at the deep marks left by the whip and broke out in a cold sweat. If those had hit a person, the consequences would have been dire.
Mo Yun’s expression darkened, "Kid, are you really hiding something?"
Gu Fan hurriedly explained, "Don’t get me wrong, beautiful lady, I didn’t intentionally hide anything. Although the notebook mentions a meeting place, I can’t understand it; the Western way of naming places is different from ours in Chinese."
"Oh, is that so?" Mo Yun was half-convinced, and to earn her trust, Gu Fan picked up a clump of mud from the ground, "For example, I call this thing mud, while Westerners call it clay. Though it’s the same thing, the name is different."
Mo Yun felt this explanation was far-fetched, so Gu Fan added, "Look, I only know that the meeting place is near the border between the Central Plains and the outer regions. As for which city it is, I have no idea. I’m actually not very familiar with the cities near the frontier, so I don’t know where they’re referring to."
Upon hearing this, Mo Yun also felt concerned, as she was unfamiliar with that area and would need to make inquiries.
Gu Fan continued persistently, "There’s a lot more content in the notebook. It’s not that I can’t understand it, but there are some things I just don’t know, so I can’t correctly grasp their meaning. But if I learned a bit more, I would be able to fully understand everything in this notebook."
Seeing Gu Fan earnest and confident, Mo Yun thought it over and felt that she really did need someone who understood Western languages. But she still couldn’t shake off her unease, as silencing him seemed like the safest option.
"Fine, you’ll come with me. Whatever you don’t know, I will clarify. As long as you can fully understand the content of this notebook and map, that would be great." Mo Yun had been speaking nicely when suddenly she shifted her tone and coldly stated, "If you dare to play me for a fool, boy, I’ll make sure you regret it."
