Chapter 972: Nine hundred sixty-seven, the situation is tense

Frankly speaking,

at such a critical moment, it really could turn into a life-or-death situation.

At that time, he also started asking Gu Chen this question.

What Gu Chen had not anticipated was that he would actually ask him such a question.

After hearing it, Gu Chen thought it was quite interesting; he had never asked him this before.

One could say that today the sun had indeed risen from the west.

If, after hearing these questions, there seemed to be no reaction on his face at all.

Even at this moment, he appeared quite composed.

"If what you are asking is whether there’s any contingency plan for this matter, I can assertively tell you there isn’t,"

he said to Wei Tianfu, his eyes expressing absolute certainty while speaking.

Upon hearing his words, Wei Tianfu was truly surprised.

He had not expected it to be this way at all.

This even made him feel a bit at a loss about how to continue the conversation with Gu Chen.

Gu Chen’s response was somewhat surprising to him.

He had not expected that Gu Chen really hadn’t left any room for maneuver.

He had never thought about this issue before.

At this moment, he had no doubts about the truth of Gu Chen’s words.

He had immense trust in Gu Chen,

feeling like he genuinely couldn’t see it coming; he entirely regarded Gu Chen as his own brother.

"Since that’s the case, then as things stand, we can only take one step at a time,"

Wei Tianfu continued saying at that time.

Because he was very clear in his mind that, if Gu Chen really hadn’t kept any fallback,

then the matters that followed could only be handled by their own efforts.

And at this moment, it seemed as if Gu Chen suddenly remembered something.

Then he slowly said to him,

"Leave these matters to me; I believe I can handle them well.

Brother, you’ve already helped me a lot; I can’t bother you with these remaining issues, and more importantly, I can’t drag you down. This issue originally had nothing to do with you."

Gu Chen directly spoke to him in this manner at that time.

When speaking these words, Gu Chen appeared very sincere.

Because in Gu Chen’s view, it really was so, he felt this matter was already troublesome enough.

If he continued to bother him, Gu Chen would genuinely feel a bit embarrassed.

However, after Gu Chen finished speaking, it was clear that his expression immediately changed.

"How can one say things are foolish?

We’ve already reached this stage; don’t bother about all those unnecessary things anymore.

Right now, we can say that we are in the same boat; don’t think about so much useless stuff."

At this time, his tone, though mild, carried a firm conviction.

That feeling seemed undeniable. Gu Chen saw how serious he was.

He was genuinely very moved inside. Even the feeling this gave Gu Chen at that moment,

was somewhat tinged with guilt.

Actually, if he were to speak according to his honest conscience, he’d still say that this matter didn’t have much to do with Wei Tianfu.

From a moral standpoint, it’s really not appropriate to drag Wei Tianfu into this.

So at this moment, he was very embarrassed.

All he could do was heave a helpless sigh.

"Brother, I really am troubling you."

Gu Chen said this with utter seriousness at that moment.

After Gu Chen had finished speaking, one could clearly feel that in that instant, he seemed a bit annoyed at Gu Chen.

"I’ve already said not to say that anymore, look, you’re still saying it.

Do you really want to make our relationship so estranged?"

After hearing this, Gu Chen also hurriedly shook his head and then definitively said to him,

"It was my fault for speaking out of turn, brother, just act like I never said anything."

Gu Chen then did not continue to talk about this matter.

Afterward, the two of them each returned to their own rooms.

Everything felt so extraordinarily peaceful.

It seemed as if, even if the next second brought the collapse of heaven and earth, it wouldn’t matter at all.

Back in his hotel room, Gu Chen was just thinking about where to find that house, how to move.

The situation was clearly getting more tense by the day.

This matter really couldn’t be taken lightly.

If there was a chance to hasten things, they needed to be expedited, otherwise, it would be too late for regrets.

He certainly didn’t want to do anything that he would regret.

However, regarding this matter, mainly he still had to wait for news from Ji Pianran.

It was only once there was news from Ji Pianran that action could be taken.

If there was no news from Ji Pianran, all he could do was anxiously wait, unable to do anything.

If possible, he really didn’t want to get involved in these messy situations.

By the next day, Gu Chen was planning to head back directly.

He had no desire to continue staying here, because for Gu Chen, staying continued to have no special meaning.

He felt it was better to just head back directly.

At this point, there was no meaning in creating more chaos.

So that early morning, Gu Chen was ready to make tracks back home with Shan Bingbing.

Once outside, Gu Chen directly got into the car.

He had considered this issue before.

However, he hadn’t really taken a stance.

Since for him, whether to go back now or not wasn’t that important.

So it might be better just to wait a bit longer.

On their way back, Gu Chen never rested for a moment.

In his mind, words that the old man had said to him surfaced time and again,

along with those big and small occurrences he had experienced during this time.

For Gu Chen, these things were like persistent ghosts in his mind, haunting him incessantly.

He was even pondering the last words spoken by the old man and their possible implications.

He knew very clearly that the old man would not speak such idle words without reason.

That is to say, the current situation, for the old man,

did not feel like a dead end.

Even now, under these circumstances, there was still a chance for a turnaround.

Of course, if one were to ask Gu Chen where the turning point was, he wouldn’t know.

Right now, he felt like a grain of sand, blown wherever the wind took him.

He simply could not make any decisions about what came next for himself.

He could only keep hoping time and again, that nothing unexpected would happen.
