Chapter 1119: A Coincidence in Time
Whenever there is a major issue, or they are at their wits’ end, Gu Fan would gather everyone together, brainstorming and trying to tap into their collective wisdom to solve the problem.
So that day, Lu Yi, Su Hui, Lin Xi, Du Jun, Qin Jia, and Gu Ling were all called over.
Gu Fan detailed how severe the situation was, he had thought of every solution he could, but as things stood, it seemed impossible to stop X Fund.
Lu Yi was the first to speak up, "If that’s the case, then we might as well surrender. Just sell them the old house, maybe then you can break free from the Destiny Stone and truly live an ordinary life."
Upon hearing this, Du Jun appeared to have an epiphany, "Yeah, if X Fund’s scheme succeeds, then Gu Fan, losing the old house means losing the Destiny Stone, but the question is, will the Destiny Stone agree?"
"Yes, since the mission given to me by the Destiny Stone hasn’t been completed, it won’t let me get away easily." Gu Fan stroked his chin, deep in thought, but still, he felt that he had no chance of winning.
Su Hui suggested, "If that’s the case, then we might as well do nothing. Even if you, Gu Fan, come up with a countermeasure, don’t act on it. I want to see if the Destiny Stone gets anxious."
Lu Yi nodded, "Yes, why didn’t we think of that before? Just selling your family’s old house would end it, right?"
Gu Fan shook his head, "Selling it is easier said than done. The house is under my parents’ name, and to sell it, I must get their consent. Now with second granduncle in the Gu family and also a key member of Organization X, selling the old house to second granduncle is within the range my parents would accept."
