Chapter 1479: Following the Clues
The Tower of Darkness was too vast; Li Shi and Ouyang Jin after turning around for a while, realized not only had they failed to locate Gu Fan, but it seemed they had also gotten lost.
At this point, Ouyang Jin became pessimistic: "What should we do? Should we wait for Gu Fan to escape from trouble and then come rescue us?"
Li Shi was not happy: "No way, every time he ends up rescuing me, making him look all competent. He will look down on us."
"Hey, beauty, let’s not overestimate ourselves at this time, this isn’t our forte." Ouyang Jin advised earnestly, but saw that Li Shi was insistent.
Having no other options, Ouyang Jin shook his head and sighed: "I’m not unloyal, but Gu Fan always drives a hard bargain. When he roped me in initially, he didn’t mention taking such a big risk; now the risk is at least ten times what was predicted at the start."
"You’re not thinking of jacking up the price now, are you?" Li Shi eyed Ouyang Jin with scorn.
Ouyang Jin quickly explained: "How could that be? I just don’t want to disrupt the market. The market price should be what it should be, especially for laborers like us who should get paid according to market rates."
At this moment, a few people walked past Li Shi and Ouyang Jin carrying some leftovers, paying no mind to them, because Li Shi and Ouyang Jin were dressed exactly like the members of Organization X.
Li Shi suddenly had an idea: "I know how to find Gu Fan."
Hearing this, Ouyang Jin also perked up and hurriedly inquired.
Li Shi continued, "I was previously detained in the mansion of the East Nobles, which was huge with many rooms. When Gu Fan snuck into the mansion, he had no idea in which room I was confined; but after he visited the kitchen once, he knew my location."
