Chapter 1489: No Escape Even with Wings
Organization X has announced to Gu Fan through the broadcast that there are currently two hostages in the lobby on the first floor, one is the muscleman, the other a tall man, implying that if Gu Fan doesn’t comply, they won’t hesitate to take their anger out on these two individuals.
Gu Fan was certainly angry; no one likes to be threatened, but anger aside, what could he do?
Of course, Gu Fan didn’t yet know that the Dark City had been turned into a mess, nearly a ruin, and Organization X had suffered losses and injuries. Xue Wang was far more than just angry.
Fei Lei was very worried; all he could do was escort Gu Fan and his group to safety, not wanting to get further involved or aid Gu Fan in rescuing the muscleman and the tall man.
Gu Fan understood and didn’t want Fei Lei to risk his life for him. Besides, this was a situation only he could resolve.
Ever since the incident with the man in glasses, Gu Fan had been blaming himself, not wanting more people uninvolved to be dragged into this. So, Gu Fan decided to go to the lobby on the first floor to have a proper talk with Organization X. This back and forth isn’t a solution.
However, Gu Fan also made preparations for both outcomes, hoping that Fei Lei would take good care of Li Shi and Ouyang Jin and bring them to safety.
Fei Lei agreed, saying he would take care of it.
With that, Gu Fan could let go of a heavy stone in his heart and headed to the lobby on the first floor alone.
Li Shi was very worried and wanted to dissuade him; she had gone through a lot to rescue Gu Fan and wouldn’t let him walk into a trap.
However, Li Shi knew Gu Fan very well; she knew that Gu Fan would definitely go back, and nothing she said could stop him, so Li Shi could only warn him to be very careful.
