51 -51: The Result I Didn’t Want to See

“Lu Yi and Jie, you both have a car.

Hurry and go chase them, don’t delay.

Inform us of your location at all times, we will rush over immediately.” With this series of hurried words from Gu Fan, the pressure immediately fell on everyone’s hearts.

Jie immediately replied: “No problem, we’ll leave right away.”

Lu Yi straightened his clothes, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and looked with disdain at the man he had just fought.

Prioritizing the bigger picture, Lu Yi didn’t plan to continue the dispute, but the issue was that the other party’s car was still blocking the way.

Lu Yi had no choice but to say: “I have an urgent matter right now, let’s all take a step back and end this now, okay?

We’ll discuss the compensation later.”

“Discuss later, what do you mean.” The other party, looking more dejected than Lu Yi because Jie had come over and helped Lu Yi beat him up, was even more unhappy.

Annoyed, Lu Yi asked, “So what do you want?”

“Quite simple, pay for the damage.

I hit you, I will compensate as I should.

But we need to go through insurance, I will wait for the police to come and issue a certificate.

You guys shouldn’t be in a hurry to leave.” The other party was also very irritated, ready to drag things out with Lu Yi and Jie.

Jie got impatient: “We have an emergency right now, we don’t have time to deal with you, we don’t need your compensation.”

Upon hearing this, the other party was infuriated: “You don’t want my compensation, but I want yours!

You two hit me, how will the medical bills be calculated?”

Lu Yi, keeping his anger under control: “How about this, we don’t need your car repair money, and you don’t demand medical fees from us.

Can we all just calm down and resolve this peacefully?”

“Calm down, my foot.

What’s your broken car worth compared to me, a living being?

I might even have lingering injuries from your beating.

Who knows how much the cost will be.” The obstinate demeanor of the other party finally enraged Lu Yi.

He charged forward and started beating him: “Who do you think you are, so precious.”

The two started grappling again, neither conceding.

Neither Jie nor the other man’s girlfriend could pull them apart.

“How did it turn into this?” Jie was both angry and anxious.

He knew plans could go wrong, but this deviation was too severe.

Every minute and second wasted would make the hope of saving Zhou Yu increasingly slim.

Another ten-minute standoff followed, resulting in Jie and Lu Yi forcibly pushing the other party’s car aside.

After that, they hurriedly drove off in their already misshaped van.

Just having been delayed so much, they found they were a long way away from Zhou Yu, with a great possibility they might not be able to catch up.

Meanwhile, Gu Fan was awaiting the return of his other classmates.

He didn’t know about the situation with Jie and Lu Yi and was counting on them.

Another group of two young men and a woman were heading towards Gu Fan.

Seeing that they were safe and sound, and having gotten in touch with Du Jun and finding out he was all right, Gu Fan felt a bit relieved.

Lin Xi pulled slightly at Gu Fan’s sleeve with a fearful expression on her pretty face, which immediately caught Gu Fan’s attention.

He quickly asked: “What’s the matter, Lin Xi?”

Lin Xi tiptoed and whispered into Gu Fan’s ear, “Look carefully, there are people following the students who are coming over. ƒгeewёbnovel.com

They are wearing suits, and we’ve seen two of them before.”

“What?” Gu Fan was taken aback.

Looking carefully, indeed four men in suits were following the three incoming students.

Two of them had followed Gu Fan and Lin Xi back from that trip.

“Damn it, they’re still following us.

Damn it.” Gu Fan was extremely angry, clenching his fists.

Ready to fight, which made Lin Xi very nervous.

The three students coming over barely had time to meet with Gu Fan and co.

when they heard Gu Fan say lightly, “Don’t look back, you three.

Go to the movie theater to find Du Jun and the others.

Remember to walk past us and don’t look back.”

“Okay, okay.” The three classmates didn’t know what was happening, but Gu Fan’s serious expression told them something was going on.

They walked past Gu Fan as instructed, keeping in mind not to turn back.

When those four men in suits walked towards them, they were all stunned.

They saw Gu Fan standing tall, clenching his fists, looking at them with hostile eyes, not hiding anything.

Lin Xi was standing to the side, looking worried, while Su Hui was leaning against the wall, arms folded, with a half-smiling look on her face, as if waiting for them to walk into the trap.

Those men knew they had been exposed, and were terrified.

They didn’t walk straight towards Gu Fan and the others, but changed their direction and took another corridor, acting like they were just passing by.

But how could Gu Fan let them get away?

Just until recently, they were the ones trailing him, and now it was finally his chance to turn things around, so he eagerly kept up his stride, following closely behind the four men.

Naturally, they weren’t going to let Gu Fan go it alone.

Su Hui and Lin Xi also took similar action, vowing to unmask these individuals today.

The four men realized they were being followed and quickened their pace, but no matter how they changed their speed, Gu Fan and his friends were hot on their heels, throwing them into a state of panic.

Knowing they couldn’t shake their pursuers, the four suspicious men split up, each heading in a different direction, suddenly leaving Gu Fan and his friends with a difficult dilemma.

“What should we do now?” Su Hui naturally suggested that each person could chase one suspect, but as Gu Fan and Lin Xi were both students, chasing separate suspects could lead to unforeseen problems.

As a precaution, the three decided to stick together and follow one of the suspects.

At this point, Gu Fan sent a message in the group: “Du Jun, and everyone else, listen up, Lu Yi and Jie have gone after Zhou Yu, and those who were tracking me and Lin Xi have now shown up at this commercial plaza.

Lin Xi and I are currently tailing them.

We cannot let them escape, this is a golden opportunity.”

On receiving the message, Du Jun sprang into action and led his already assembled group of friends out of the movie theater, all while searching for the suspicious individuals Gu Fan had described i.e., men in suits and sunglasses.

The group descended upon the six-story commercial plaza, their chase now turning into a counter-surveillance mission.

The mysteries seemed to begin to clear as they closed the gap.

Gu Fan was sure that if they could get their hands on these men, they might be able to shed light on all the mysterious disappearances.

Everyone understood what was at stake.

Their heartbeats rapidly accelerating, they were all anxious, all scared, but none of them backed down.

Now that they had finally found an opportunity to fight back, they all vowed to catch the mastermind behind the events.

But things don’t always go as planned.

Du Jun led his group on several rounds of searches, scrupulously scanning passersby, but could not find the individuals Gu Fan had described – men moving separately, dressed in suits and sunglasses.

Even Gu Fan’s group soon encountered difficulties.

They lost the men, who seemed to have vanished into thin air, only to find discarded suits, sunglasses, and even shirts and ties in a restroom.

Their suspects had successfully given them the slip.

Although the men’s upper clothing would drastically change their appearance, they couldn’t just take off their trousers and shoes.

Su Hui’s quick thinking helped remember what shoes and trousers the suspects were wearing, but given the crowded plaza and obstructions to their view, there was nothing they could do.

And what Gu Fan couldn’t think of was that the four men headed into a store, bought new shoes and jeans, and simply walked out of the commercial plaza in broad daylight.

They’d lost Zhou Yu and the four suspicious men too.

Gu Fan felt a crushing sense of failure and now could only hope that Lu Yi and Jie didn’t lose their targets, otherwise, this day would be a total disaster.

As decided, the group reconvened at a certain location.

Seeing Gu Fan frantically making phone calls with an agitated look on his face upon their arrival, Du Jun immediately asked Lin Xi, “What about Zhou Yu…?”

In response, Lin Xi just shook his head – a non-verbal confirmation of what everyone feared.

This sent a chilling wave of disappointment through the entire group.

After much effort, Gu Fan finally got through to Lu Yi only to find their GPS tracking was not working on any of their phones.

They had lost track of Zhou Yu and couldn’t explain what had gone wrong.

“How can that be?

How did we lose the tracking all of a sudden?” a terrified Gu Fan wondered aloud, giving Du Jun a puzzled look – after all, Du Jun was the one who had purchased the device.

Du Jun swiftly took out the manual and realized they had missed an important detail – the device had a battery life of only three hours per charge.

“What?

It only lasts three hours?

You got us this device, why didn’t you mention this earlier!” Gu Fan accused loudly.

Now, Du Jun was also unhappy: “What do you mean by that?

Are you implying that all the blame of the day rests on me?

Everybody knew this was a battery operated device and nobody thought of this.

I even gave the manual to Jie and Lu Yi; they didn’t bother to read it.

Why only blame me?”

Fuming, Gu Fan was ready for a standoff just as Du Jun was not backing down.

Sensing an imminent disagreement, Lin Xi intervened, “Enough, we all took part in this.

Everyone is responsible.

What’s important now is to find Zhou Yu.”

On hearing this, Gu Fan and Du Jun ceased their standoff, both wearing worried expressions.

Everyone knew that unless a miracle occurred and Zhou Yu returned on his own, the prospects seemed bleak.

“How did it come to this…” Gu Fan was starting to blame himself.

He knew that plans usually don’t go smoothly and there are always setbacks, but with everything that had happened, Gu Fan finally realized how naive he’d been.

The unexpected problems were so great that he felt like he’d been slapped across the face, a grim reminder not to bite off more than he could chew in the future.
