Chapter 307: The Past
Guo Gang thought back to that ordeal, and a hint of sadness crept onto his face, "During the acid rain, Meng Meng and I happened to take shelter in a mall. There was also a group of people there who said there was a place where you could earn food by fighting, and they wanted to go there. But the acid rain blocked their way, so I helped guide them. That’s how we got to know each other, and we started looking for food together, thinking of ways to go to the place where we could fight."
Guo Gang said this and sighed, "I knew that at such times, it had to be Black Boxing, which was never proper. But after the acid rain, resources became even scarcer. I thought if I went to fight in Black Boxing and earned a lot, with my wide network, I could get a car and come to No.7 Base to find you all. After the acid rain, I went with them to a place for Black Boxing and started fighting. At that time, I won every day and earned some resources pretty smoothly."
He seemed at ease as he talked about this.
Then he paused, his expression grew serious, and continued, "Later, suddenly one day, a lot of people showed up, saying that there was a large boxing gym at No.7 Base and they were looking for talents, asking if I wanted to go. I was just thinking about how to get here, thinking it was just a change of places to fight, and that it would also save on travel expenses to find you all, so I naturally agreed. But when we got here, we realized we had been sold. After that, we completely lost our freedom. To keep Meng Meng alive, I had to fight desperately. Many times, I felt like giving up, thinking we might as well die, but looking at Meng Meng, she’s still so young, I really couldn’t bear it. Thankfully, you found us."
It was only then that Gu Pan knew how they had come to be there, "We arrived at the underground fight club late, if only we had come earlier."
Guo Gang said, "You wouldn’t necessarily have seen me if you had come earlier; I didn’t come out every day. Besides, you’re not really into Black Boxing; you must have had your own reasons for being there. We were very lucky to have met."
Lu Ruisheng smiled, "You really understand us. Indeed, we were heading for the auction. Black Boxing was just a cover to avoid suspicion, so we went to have a look. The first time we went, we saw you."
Guo Gang also smiled, "That day I felt those two people looked familiar. It really was you."
"Yes, it seems like fate was also trying to help us," Gu Pan said with a smile.
After talking for a while, Gu Pan checked the time, "I’ll take Meng Meng upstairs to wash up and change into clean clothes. When everyone comes back from work later, they will surely bombard us with questions, and there won’t be time to change then."
