Those Classmates who Suddenly Disappeared

Helen added, "Why? Looking at your expressions, you’re guarding against me as if I’m a thief. Isn’t it just a meal? Do you really need to be this tense?"

Gu Fan explained it like this, "If it’s just a family dinner with second granduncle, as part of the Gu family, I have no objections. But since it’s an invitation from Organization X, of course, I have to be cautious. So it’s not that I don’t trust second granduncle, it’s that I don’t trust Organization X."

"So you mean to say you don’t want to go?" Helen showed a troubled expression, "Actually, there’s something I worry you might be unhappy about: your parents have also received our invitation and should already be there."

"What? You’ve actually invited my parents, do you even consider yourselves part of the Gu family anymore?" Gu Fan became angry all of a sudden, almost yelling out, "Second granduncle is after all a senior member of the Gu family, knowing that Organization X means us harm, how can you help Organization X invite us to the banquet?"

Helen wore a face full of apology, "After all, grandfather and I are both in Organization X, and there are some orders we must follow. But grandfather said that he has spoken with the higher-ups; they won’t do anything to you, especially since Haywes’s failure is the best proof. If possible, we plan to take over this old house in a peaceful manner."

Gu Fan’s expression was still somewhat aggravated, but he tried to calm himself down, striving to stay cool.

At this moment, Su Hui walked over and patted Gu Fan’s shoulder, "The higher-ups of Organization X want to see you, you must have been prepared for this all along, right?"

"Right, I knew this day would come sooner or later," Gu Fan looked at Su Hui, and they shared a knowing smile, a tacit understanding rising between them.

Su Hui added, "You know, for this kind of thing, I’ll of course come with you."
