Chapter 1407: Chapter 1407: Good People to the End

Gu Fan tossed and turned, unable to sleep all night. He was worried that if someone from Organization X happened to come to his place and discovered Xue Yin, there would be trouble.

So, the next day, Gu Fan took Xue Yin once more to the doorstep, asking the guy with the glasses, the tall guy, and the muscleman to take in another person.

At first, the guy with the glasses thought they had already helped Gu Fan so much, and taking in Ouyang Jin had been okay, so taking in another person wouldn’t be a big deal. After all, taking in one was taking, and taking in two was still taking—didn’t they trust themselves? Would the risks really get any bigger?

The tall guy was more straight-forward. He felt the house was full of big burly men, brimming with too much masculine Qi, and needed a bit of feminine Qi to balance things out.

Muscleman had a feeling that Xue Yin was no ordinary woman. Though female, her aura of strength was not at all girlish.

Ouyang Jin silently sighed. He decided not to inquire about who Xue Yin was. Anyone associated with Gu Fan was no ordinary person. Otherwise, why wouldn’t Gu Fan take her in himself instead of asking for help?

When the guy with the glasses and the others found out who they were sheltering, they were panic-stricken and filled with regret.

The guy with the glasses wanted to refuse, but the moment he met Xue Yin’s murder-like gaze, he understood something—if he didn’t agree, his life might not be spared.

The tall guy kept complaining, "Before, helping you meant dealing with external risks, but taking her in means we also have to deal with internal threats. Life can’t go on like this. Why did we ever get to know you?"

Gu Fan comforted them, "It’s okay. As long as you don’t provoke her, she won’t be rough with you. I’ve spent some time with her and feel that her character is still decent. Last time, to help you escape Organization X’s inspection, she risked herself to draw their attention. We owe her a favor, and we have to repay it."

Muscleman retorted, "If it wasn’t for taking in Ouyang Jin, we wouldn’t have had to worry about any checks from Organization X."

Gu Fan quickly soothed, "You can’t say that. After all, Ouyang Jin is your friend and has been helping you transport materials in secret for a long time. His hard work is appreciated."

Hearing this, Ouyang Jin shot back with a disdainful look, "If it wasn’t because of you, would I need to come here?"

The tall guy immediately agreed, "Exactly, it’s still your responsibility."

After much thought, Gu Fan really found it was indeed so. He could only present an apologetic stance, "I’m sorry. I let everyone down. But rest assured, I will come up with a way to solve our current predicament."

"But what can you really think of? Sister Su, Miss Lin, and doomsayer Lu Yi are all on their way. Have you thought about where they can stay?" Ouyang Jin hit the nail on the head with that remark.

"Yeah, with more people, if we don’t find a secret shelter or something, it’s really going to be a problem," said Gu Fan, glancing at the guy with the glasses, who shook his head because he could imagine that the only secret dwelling they had was already occupied by Gu Fan, and that dwelling had been compromised.

With that, Gu Fan set two tasks for himself: first, how to get Sister Su and Lin Xi in; second, how to find a new secret base to hide in.

For the moment, Gu Fan could only inconvenience the guy with the glasses and his friends, promising time and again that once they found a new secret base, he would move Xue Yin there.

What else could the guy with the glasses and the others say? They had no choice but to agree.

To find a secret base for Gu Fan as soon as possible, the guy with the glasses, the tall guy, and the muscleman said they would also help with other things, as helping Gu Fan was helping themselves.

The guy with the glasses couldn’t help saying, "Gu Fan, I’m grateful for your help last time, for saving me and my girlfriend and almost getting yourself exposed. But we’ve helped you even more, so there’s no debt owed, and I hope you understand."

Gu Fan nodded, "I know. I’ve dragged you into worry and fear, and I apologize to you all once again."

At that moment, Xue Yin heard Gu Fan’s real name and was so surprised her mouth wouldn’t close, "What, you’re Gu Fan, the very person Organization X is most vexed by?"

"Well..." Gu Fan’s expression became a bit awkward.

The guy with the glasses, the tall guy, and the muscleman were all even more astonished. By the look Xue Yin gave, this Gu Fan was probably more formidable than they had imagined.

After Gu Fan left, the tall guy asked Xue Yin directly, "What’s going on here? Is this Gu Fan really as formidable as you say?"

To which, Xue Yin shook her head, "I’ve only heard. This Gu Fan is amazing. Not even the two most powerful figures from Organization X could handle him. At one point, the organization even decided not to provoke him. To think that he has come to Dark City secretly."

The tall guy pressed further, "Are you sure this Gu Fan is the same one your Organization X talked about?"

Xue Yin replied, "According to the description, Gu Fan is an Eastern man, and very formidable. I think it’s him."

Everyone turned their gaze to Ouyang Jin, making him nervous, "Why are you all looking at me like that? I’ve only occasionally been in contact with him as a guide. I don’t know that much about him."

By the evasive look in Ouyang Jin’s eyes, it was clear that Gu Fan was likely Organization X’s number one adversary.

"We didn’t expect we were helping such a person." For some reason, the guy with the glasses, the tall guy, and the muscleman felt anxious, afraid, yet at the same time, thrilled.

Ouyang Jin tried to comfort them, "Since you’ve already helped him, the risk already existed even if he wasn’t Gu Fan. Now that he is, the risk won’t lessen, but you might also gain something from it."

The guy with the glasses thought it over and figured that if this person was really Gu Fan and could indeed confront Organization X, maybe helping Gu Fan would also bring some benefits.

Xue Yin felt some regret. If she hadn’t killed a member of the Xue Clan when she defected, she might have been able to exchange Gu Fan for the organization’s forgiveness, and even secure more advantages. Now she had no choice but to follow Gu Fan down this dark path.

Everyone was now even more curious about what Gu Fan had done to gain such attention from Organization X.

As for that, Ouyang Jin said he was helpless to explain. He could only share his recent experiences with Gu Fan, such as the battles in the Dark Primitive Mountain and forbidden areas even Organization X dared not enter casually.

After listening to Ouyang Jin, everyone was shocked but also skeptical, feeling it all seemed too exaggerated.

Ouyang Jin had intended for his stories to build confidence in Gu Fan and to solidify their position on his side. But seeing everyone’s disbelief, Ouyang Jin could only feel discouraged, "You don’t have to believe what I say. Let time be the proof."
