Chapter 1412: Chapter 1412 Mutual Assistance

Gu Fan nodded, "That’s right, if there wasn’t a profit for me, I wouldn’t help you either. Are you satisfied with this answer?"

"What do you mean, what are you trying to do?" Xue Xue furrowed her eyebrows, her body tensed, ready to fight Gu Fan. Li also felt nervous, sensing that his friend might make some unreasonable demands. Realizing they had misunderstood, Gu Fan quickly explained, "Don’t worry, my request will benefit both of us, it will unite us."

Xue Xue spoke coldly, "Go ahead, state your conditions, and I’ll know you’re up to no good."

"Don’t say that, it’s mutual assistance. I’ll help you leave Dark City and find a place to shelter you." Gu Fan appeared sincere, but his words raised doubts. Xue Xue looked skeptical, "You can help me leave this place and find a shelter, who exactly are you?"

"It’s not good to say who I am now, but Li trusts me." After Gu Fan finished speaking, he looked at Li, showing a demeanor suggesting that they were comrades who could trust and help each other, "Li, I also need a favor from you, I need to borrow your house to provide my friends a landing spot in Dark City."

"Your friends, who are they?" Li felt that Gu Fan’s so-called friends were no ordinary people. Gu Fan looked troubled, "Their identities are confidential for now, you’ll know when you see them." Li then asked, "When will they move in?"

"I’m trying to figure out how to get them into Dark City." Gu Fan’s words conveyed that his so-called friends were still outside and that they needed to secretly enter Dark City. Li frowned deeply, feeling that this matter was not simple and could potentially cause big trouble. His instincts told him to refuse, but seeing Gu Fan’s hopeful look and Xue Xue’s concern beside him, Li thought it over and decided to agree.

"What?" Xue Xue seemed puzzled as to why Li would do this. Li smiled softly, as if to reassure Xue Xue that there was nothing to worry about. In a flash, Xue Xue understood Li’s thinking; having already killed a member of the Xue Clan, how much worse could things possibly get? So there was nothing to fear. Seeing Li’s determination tugged at her heart.

On the side, Gu Fan watched the exchange of looks between Xue Xue and Li, their candid emotions making him feel like he had become air, which was rather awkward. So Gu Fan pretended to cough and said, "Well, since a consensus has been reached, I won’t disturb your world for two anymore, I’ll take my leave." Just as Gu Fan was about to leave, Li stopped him, "Wait a minute, I still have a question for you."

Gu Fan turned back, "Sure, as long as it doesn’t affect our cooperation, you can ask as many questions as you want."

Li stared seriously at Gu Fan, then said, "Tai is not your real name, right? According to the information, Tai has lived in Dark City for many years, but you seem unfamiliar with some past events of Dark City, coupled with your behavior today."

Gu Fan was taken aback, then smiled, "Li, I wasn’t wrong about you; you’re really smart, which makes me even more reassured to cooperate with you."

"So it means Tai is really not your name, who are you exactly?" Li’s confirmation made him even more anxious, not knowing the startling identity that his comrade might reveal.

Gu Fan did not give a definitive answer, merely stating, "I can’t tell you now, but I promise, I will definitely tell you later."

"Alright!" Li expressed his trust in Gu Fan, while his curiosity surged, his mind speculating various information related to his comrade and possible identities.

As Gu Fan left Li’s house and looked back, he couldn’t help but sigh; the secret accommodation was settled, so next was the following step. Looking in the direction of the Tower of Darkness, Gu Fan took a deep breath, adjusting his mindset, "Jie, just wait a little longer, I’ll rescue you soon." Thinking of the rescue made Gu Fan feel tremendous pressure; Jie was in the heavily guarded Tower of Darkness, making the rescue mission very difficult.

Now that Li Shi had also been captured, it meant Gu Fan had to rescue two people from Organization X. "Right, exchanging hostages for hostages would work," Gu Fan thought to himself, surprised by his own oversight of such a simple solution. No, rescuing them was only the basic target; the ultimate goal was still to eradicate Organization X. Although it was more challenging, Gu Fan still wanted to try, especially after obtaining the weapon that could restrain vampires, he felt the ultimate goal was not unreachable. After a while, Gu Fan returned to his own place, all the areas damaged by Xue Yin had been repaired, and Gu Fan was somewhat grateful for the treatment provided by Catherine, truly a boss who cared for her subordinates. Soon, Gu Fan thought of something and went to the window, quietly looking out, seeing that the curtains in the neighboring house were still not completely drawn, he wondered if they had really left.

At the same time, Leng Le instructed her subordinates not to fully draw the curtain or approach that window. The subordinates were somewhat dissatisfied; their space to move was already limited, and now they were further restricted. With so many people squeezed together, any movement would lead to bumping into someone else, which was really difficult. Leng Le, however, mentioned that they were entering a dangerous place where any action needed to be taken with great care, as exposing themselves could bring disaster to everyone, so they needed to keep watch over each other. Her subordinates had nothing to say, they just had to endure silently. It was fortunate that the man with the mysterious mask had promised to give them wealth lasting a lifetime after the fact, which somewhat stabilized everyone’s mood. Leng Le didn’t care about the mood of her subordinates; she only wanted to manage her own affairs, watching for any situation that might threaten her. Leng Le could see that the window faced the neighboring house, so she was also cautious about that household. She couldn’t randomly move the curtain or look outside, fearing that any unusual movement would reveal that there were people here. It was also for this reason that Leng Le, despite Gu Fan’s numerous entries and exits, had not seen him. She didn’t know why, but Leng Le and Gu Fan both had a premonition that they were living next to a not-so-simple neighbor and that they would inevitably meet sooner or later; the scene was bound to be spectacular.
