Chapter 1412 Mutual Assistance
Gu Fan nodded, "That’s right, if there wasn’t a profit for me, I wouldn’t help you either. Are you satisfied with this answer?"
"What do you mean, what are you trying to do?" Xue Xue furrowed her eyebrows, her body tensed, ready to fight Gu Fan. Li also felt nervous, sensing that his friend might make some unreasonable demands. Realizing they had misunderstood, Gu Fan quickly explained, "Don’t worry, my request will benefit both of us, it will unite us."
Xue Xue spoke coldly, "Go ahead, state your conditions, and I’ll know you’re up to no good."
"Don’t say that, it’s mutual assistance. I’ll help you leave Dark City and find a place to shelter you." Gu Fan appeared sincere, but his words raised doubts. Xue Xue looked skeptical, "You can help me leave this place and find a shelter, who exactly are you?"
"It’s not good to say who I am now, but Li trusts me." After Gu Fan finished speaking, he looked at Li, showing a demeanor suggesting that they were comrades who could trust and help each other, "Li, I also need a favor from you, I need to borrow your house to provide my friends a landing spot in Dark City."
"Your friends, who are they?" Li felt that Gu Fan’s so-called friends were no ordinary people. Gu Fan looked troubled, "Their identities are confidential for now, you’ll know when you see them." Li then asked, "When will they move in?"
"I’m trying to figure out how to get them into Dark City." Gu Fan’s words conveyed that his so-called friends were still outside and that they needed to secretly enter Dark City. Li frowned deeply, feeling that this matter was not simple and could potentially cause big trouble. His instincts told him to refuse, but seeing Gu Fan’s hopeful look and Xue Xue’s concern beside him, Li thought it over and decided to agree.
"What?" Xue Xue seemed puzzled as to why Li would do this. Li smiled softly, as if to reassure Xue Xue that there was nothing to worry about. In a flash, Xue Xue understood Li’s thinking; having already killed a member of the Xue Clan, how much worse could things possibly get? So there was nothing to fear. Seeing Li’s determination tugged at her heart.
