Chapter 1648: Suspicious Behavior
The person delivering the food walked ahead, while Gu Fan and the others followed behind. They didn’t know where they were headed or their current location. This unfamiliar and perilous place constantly made Gu Fan uneasy, as though he had overlooked something.
As they followed the food delivery person, suddenly Gu Fan seemed to realize something. He quickly stopped in his tracks and turned around.
Lin Yue was puzzled and didn’t understand what Gu Fan was up to yet again. Still, he followed Gu Fan and turned around together.
Gu Fan’s face was filled with fear: "I almost got careless. If I could come up with this plan, the Demon King could too. If we keep following the delivery person, I’m afraid..."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yue and Gu Xiaojin’s hearts sank. They thought to themselves, indeed, things might have almost gone awry just now.
Gu Fan’s guess was spot-on. At this very moment, in the monitoring room of the Demon Refining Island Base, personnel were closely monitoring the area holding Leng Feng. They were also keeping an eye on the food delivery person, noticing three suspicious people trailing the delivery person.
Initially, the monitoring staff intended to report this, but upon seeing the three individuals no longer following the delivery person and instead turning at another entrance, they assumed it was just a coincidence and decided not to report it.
The immediate dilemma confronting Gu Fan was figuring out how to devise a plan that the Demon King could not anticipate. Essentially, it was a battle of wits with oneself—a mix of exhilarating challenge and exhausting mental strain.
"Go, Dad!" Gu Xiaojin clenched her fists to cheer him on.
Gu Fan regarded the daughter who looked identical to Lin Xi and whose incessant habit of calling him Dad left him with lingering discomfort.
Not only Gu Fan felt this way; even Lin Yue struggled to adapt to being addressed as Uncle Lin Yue for an extended period.
