Chapter 1498: 3-on-1, Unable to Win
In the underground laboratory, Gu Fan, Su Hui, and Lin Xi were highly tense, fully braced, and prepared for battle. Their gazes were all fixed firmly on the mysterious masked man who had just appeared.
Gu Fan had originally thought it would take some searching before encountering the mysterious masked man, but he hadn’t expected the guy to show up so brazenly.
"What’s up, weren’t you looking for me to take back Li Shi? Then hurry up and make your move," the mysterious masked man seemed to know Gu Fan’s purpose for coming and opened his arms as if welcoming a fight.
Gu Fan activated the camera so that Organization X above could see everything happening here, while also warily observing the mysterious masked man. In Gu Fan’s eyes, this mysterious masked man was probably even more difficult to deal with than Organization X.
Ever since the disappearance of twelve students, Gu Fan had been through a lot and encountered many enemies.
In the process of confronting enemies, no matter how strong they were, even the mighty Organization X, Gu Fan had been able to cause them trouble. The only exception was this mysterious masked man; Gu Fan always felt powerless against him.
Gu Fan said indifferently: "Please hand over Li Shi."
The mysterious masked man replied: "Don’t worry, I never intended to harm Li Shi. She has been placed in a comparatively safe place."
"I don’t need to hear this, I want you to hand over Li Shi." Gu Fan tried to appear as firm as possible while clenching his fists. He believed the other party wouldn’t release the hostage so easily, and a battle was inevitable.
However, to everyone’s surprise, the mysterious masked man agreed to release Li Shi, but there was one condition: Gu Fan would need to exchange himself for Li Shi.
In an instant, Su Hui understood: "Your target isn’t Li Shi, your target is Gu Fan. You took Li Shi because she is just bait to lure Gu Fan into your meticulously set trap."
