Chapter 1203: Chapter 123: Make Noise in the East, Then Strike in the West

Everything was arranged, and now the challenge was to figure out how to leave the city without drawing Organization X’s attention. After all, if Gu Fan disappeared for a long period, Organization X would definitely suspect his movements, and it was highly possible that they would realize Gu Fan might be heading for Dark City.

Gu Fan initially wanted to simplify matters by asking Helen to help release Jie and Hai, but on second thought, what if Organization X refused to release them? Moreover, it would have exposed Gu Fan’s possible intentions and movements.

Organization X would be on high alert against Gu Fan because his friend Jie was in Dark City. If they refused to release Jie, would Gu Fan head to Dark City based on his nature?

After much consideration, Gu Fan came up with a perfect solution, the opening of the space-time door.

The plan commenced with everyone’s cooperation. First, Gu Fan called Helen and roughly explained that he, Su Hui, and Lin Xi needed to visit ancient times to look for some clues. Gu Fan hoped that while they were gone, Helen and the Shennv Xuanhui would help guard the space-time door.

Helen knew that Gu Fan was going to ancient times, but she didn’t know the purpose, which piqued her curiosity. Consequently, Helen reported to the higher-ups at Organization X, which naturally attracted high-level attention from Xue Wang and Lord Xiong.

Xue Wang was anxious, not knowing what Gu Fan was going to do in ancient times, and whether he had figured out a method to deal with Organization X.

Organization X immediately agreed to let Helen help Gu Fan, even sending many people with her, fearing that Helen alone wasn’t sufficient. The task Organization X gave Helen was simple: to enter the space-time door with Gu Fan if possible and monitor his every move in ancient times.

At the abandoned factory, Gu Fan, Su Hui, Lin Xi, Qian Feng, Gu Ling, and others had been waiting for a while, all smiles, as if anticipating Helen’s arrival.

Helen looked at the space-time door, which she once thought was scrapped, still in its dilapidated state. She wondered if it could still function.

Helen found it odd because, after sending Qian Ye to ancient times, the space-time door was almost treated as junk. Even with Organization X and David exerting all their efforts, they failed to repair it and eventually gave up. She couldn’t understand how Gu Fan managed to fix the space-time door.

"You’re finally here, my dear relative. I trust you to look after this place while I’m away," Gu Fan said with a trusting demeanor, to which Helen frowned, "Gu Fan, can you tell me why, after finally returning from ancient times, you need to go back again? What are you going to do?"

"We found some clues related to the Super Civilization from ancient times. We’ll be back soon, just take care of this place for me," Gu Fan replied and then gestured for David to open the space-time door.

David nodded, inserted the energy key, and started activating the space-time door.

Everyone watched as the space-time tunnel appeared, resembling a vortex with a pulling force, as if it wanted to suck people in, which was somewhat frightening.

"Alright, let’s go!" Gu Fan, Lin Xi, and Su Hui didn’t hesitate and stepped into the space-time tunnel, vanishing from everyone’s sight.

Afterward, David closed the space-time tunnel, his expression unusually calm, then he said, "That’s it, the next opening will be in about a week. Hopefully, it won’t be like the previous times when the space-time door was opened several times, but Gu Fan and the others never came back."

Hearing this, Helen’s heart skipped a beat, feeling that it was indeed possible that Gu Fan and the others might encounter some trouble in ancient times and delay their return date.

This time, many of Organization X’s members accompanied Helen, including Qiao Ya, who whispered to her, "It seems the space-time door has been repaired, although I don’t know how Gu Fan managed it. Should we seize the space-time door now?"

Helen glanced at Qian Feng and Gu Ling nearby, knowing they had too few people to act and besides, Organization X had reached an agreement with them not to conflict. How could Helen dare to make a move?

Qian Feng seemed to sense something, "Gu Fan says we can trust you, but I don’t see it that way, after all, you’re forever with Organization X."

"What do you mean?" Helen said with displeasure, feeling as if Qian Feng was provoking her.

Gu Ling tried to smooth things over, "Qian Feng, don’t say that. If my brother trusts Helen, then I trust her too."

Qian Feng still looked unconvinced, adding coldly, "Hope so! If Organization X decides to act, there’s nothing she can do to stop them, as she isn’t the one calling the shots."

Despite its sting Helen found the words irrefutable. She too worried that Organization X might tamper with the space-time door, preventing Gu Fan from returning from ancient times.

"Wait a minute, if you’re going to ancient times, why tell me? Shouldn’t you have kept it secret? You know I’d have to report to Organization X, yet you still asked me to guard the space-time door and wait for your return. Aren’t you afraid?" Helen began to sense something amiss in letting your enemy guard your escape route, tantamount to entrusting your life in the enemy’s hands. Wasn’t this illogical?

"Do you have confidence in Shennv Xuanhui or do you think we wouldn’t dare to take action against Shennv Xuanhui?" Helen began analyzing Gu Fan’s unreasonable behavior and even considered it possible that Gu Fan’s request for Organization X to guard the space-time door was a test for them.

What exactly was Gu Fan doing in ancient times, and what was his purpose in calling Organization X over, Helen racked her brain but couldn’t figure it out.

At that moment, inside the underground passage of the factory, three figures were moving cautiously.

Gu Fan, Lin Xi, and Su Hui were progressing through the narrow tunnels, stooping and moving forward slowly, not daring to rush and touch anything, lest they make noise and draw Organization X’s attention, which would ruin everything.

In fact, the space-time door hadn’t been repaired; the opening of the space-time tunnel was just an illusion created secretly by Qian Feng’s spell, misleading Organization X’s members into believing that Gu Fan used the space-time tunnel to travel to ancient times.

In reality, after passing through the fake space-time tunnel, Gu Fan and the two women used a hidden door beneath their feet to enter the factory’s underpass, creating a false impression for Organization X.

"I’m sorry, Helen. I lied to you, using you to mislead Organization X, but I had no choice. Once I rescue Jie, I’ll apologize to you." After much effort, Gu Fan, Lin Xi, and Su Hui finally crawled out from the underground pipeline.

Irina had been waiting outside, her face hidden in a prepared minivan, ready to stealthily transport the three of them away.

Right now, Organization X must still believe Gu Fan had gone to ancient times, when, in fact, Gu Fan had expertly deceived them and was instead heading straight for Organization X’s headquarters.
