Chapter 1406: Chapter 1406: No One Next Door

More and more cars rushed to the scene, and more people, too. No one paid attention to the inconspicuous Gu Fan. Organization X mainly focused on the outside, all thinking that Xue Yin had already escaped.

Gu Fan waited patiently for a while, then noticed some vehicles starting to leave the scene, so he drove away without attracting anyone’s attention.

In just a short while, Gu Fan returned to his original residence and found that Catherine had already sent people to repair the place where he was staying. She really was quite caring.

If it weren’t for opposing stances and other reasons, Gu Fan would truly be thankful to this boss, though such privileges really made him feel unexpectedly honored.

Since repairing the house would take some time, Gu Fan waited outside, reluctantly leaving Xue Yin to continue staying in the trunk of the car.

Catherine had also specifically sent people to ensure Gu Fan’s safety, saying that since Gu Fan’s residence had been attacked, they should carefully check the surroundings just in case.

At first, Gu Fan thought this was making a mountain out of a molehill, but then he thought about the neighboring house that always seemed mysterious and secluded, so he agreed.

Catherine’s people began their inspection, naturally noticing the house with its curtains all drawn, so that was the first house they checked.

Gu Fan watched those people head to the neighboring house, his heart pounding, dreading that something more terrifying than Xue Yin might emerge from it.

At first, those people just knocked, but got no response, so they knocked again and waited for a while, choosing courtesy before force.

Since no one answered the door, they just kicked it in, and Gu Fan watched, heart racing and fists clenched, imagining a fierce skirmish unfolding in his mind.

After those people went in, Gu Fan didn’t hear any sound of fighting or screaming and wondered if there was no one there.

Just after a short while, those people came out, confirming that the house was empty and safe, before proceeding to inspect another house.

Gu Fan didn’t believe it. He immediately rushed over, entered the house, and started checking thoroughly.

First was the groundfloor, which was chaotic, with things haphazardly strewn about and garbage carelessly thrown around, giving off a murky, dingy feel.

Gu Fan tried hard to find any traces. He was convinced that people were living in this house, and a group of them at that, shrouded in mystery. He needed to figure out who these people were.

However, Gu Fan was bound to be disappointed, for Leng Le was too shrewd. She wouldn’t have overlooked this. She had made sure everyone was as careful as possible not to leave any traces—your trimmed nails, your fallen hair, your leftover food. Everything you brought in had to be properly organized together.

Finding nothing on the groundfloor, Gu Fan moved to the second floor, and then the third floor, but still found no useful clues.

"How strange, when did they leave?" Gu Fan walked to the window, pulled the curtains slightly, and then left the house.

Gu Fan thought, if the other party really was as secretive as they seemed, if they returned to this house, then considering their nature, they would definitely pull the curtains completely shut, and then Gu Fan would know they had come back.

Meanwhile, in the Dark Primitive Mountain, Leng Le and her subordinates were anxiously waiting, each looking fearful as they watched the mysterious masked person.

"What are you afraid of?" the mysterious masked person said indifferently.

Leng Le became nervous, "Didn’t you hear? The sounds of Organization X’s searches are getting closer. Why are we still here?"

The mysterious masked person calmly replied, "Going back now, Organization X might be searching our house. Do you want them to discover our only dwelling in Dark City?"

Hearing this, Leng Le was puzzled, "How did you know Organization X would come to search our residence?"

"You don’t need to ask more about that. I just know," the mysterious masked person said without any desire to explain further, his ears pricked up, sensing that the people from Organization X were approaching.

Finally, the mysterious masked person gave the command, "Enough talk, you can now return to that house through the secret passage. But remember, if you find a curtain not fully drawn, do not touch it, do not pull it."

"What?" Leng Le hadn’t understood what the mysterious masked person meant when she saw him dash out.

Soon after, the sounds of agonizing screams came from the woods, it seemed that the Organization X people had come under attack from the mysterious masked person.

After all the subordinates had entered the secret passage, Leng Le followed and returned to their previous residence.

"This..." Leng Le saw a curtain on the groundfloor that hadn’t been fully drawn. She recalled the mysterious masked person’s warning not to touch that curtain.

Although they had left in a hurry, Leng Le remembered that every curtain in every window had been fully drawn. Why was this one not?

At that moment, Leng Le thought that if it weren’t for the mysterious masked person’s warning, even if she realized something was wrong, her subordinates wouldn’t have. They would have drawn the curtain fully.

"It looks like someone is watching us, watching this house," Leng Le quickly guessed that this was a trap—fully closing the curtain would be like telling someone that people had returned to the house.

Leng Le smirked slightly; she knew this window faced the neighboring house and figured this neighbor seemed interested in spying.

However, Leng Le admired the mysterious masked person even more, knowing that someone had come in, knowing that someone had tampered with the curtains. But why? The mysterious masked person could anticipate these things and make corresponding preparations.

"Could this guy have the ability to foresee the future?" Leng Le became increasingly curious about the mysterious masked person’s capability.

At that moment, the floor loosened, alerting everyone, causing tension to rise.

The mysterious masked person climbed out from the secret passage, somewhat struggling, looking like he had undergone intense fighting, though his imposing manner was still fully intact, leaving Leng Le and her group dare not entertain any thoughts of taking advantage of the situation.

Leng Le approached the mysterious masked person, only to be grabbed by the arm and led upstairs to the third floor.

Others looked on enviously, only able to stay on the first and second floors, while the masked person not only had a private room but also the company of a beautiful woman. It must be good to be the boss.

Yet Leng Le didn’t feel the slightest bit happy, as she didn’t want to accompany the mysterious masked person; however, he was too domineering.

"What is this?" Leng Le noticed some blood on the mysterious masked person’s arm, looking like it was from an injury, and the blood had a strange blue tint.
