Chapter 1527: Pain
Time flies; three months have passed since the fall of Dark City, but the influence of Organization X still spreads across the world. Xue Wang and his remaining subordinates have disappeared, perhaps quietly amassing strength in the dark.
The Hunter’s Guild is even more determined, calling on various forces to exterminate Organization X. They must not be allowed a chance to make a comeback—if not utterly eradicated this time, there would be no opportunity left.
In these brief three months, the businesses and assets of Organization X have been destroyed, their bank accounts frozen, and many of their members arrested, suppression against them unprecedented.
Su Hui has taken over Zhuo Hang to become the new leader of the Special Investigation Team. Under her command, the team is fully committed to tracking down traces of Organization X.
Su Hui is busy with work, setting out early and returning late, and sometimes she hardly ever goes back home. While busy, she also worries about Gu Fan.
For three whole months, Gu Fan locked himself away at home, sitting on the sofa, turning on the television, and then staring vacantly at the news.
Lin Xi’s departure seemed to have taken all Gu Fan’s vitality with her. Now, Gu Fan is dispirited and listless, indifferent to everything outside, spending days doing nothing but eating, sleeping, watching TV, and going to the bathroom.
Su Hui glanced at the time and couldn’t put her mind at ease, so she handed over her work and immediately left the office, hurrying home.
Pushing open the door, as expected, Su Hui saw Gu Fan slumped on the floor, leaning against the sofa, foolishly staring at the advertisements playing on the television, his eyes so empty as if all vitality had been lost.
