Chapter 1452: Chapter 1452: Rewarding with a Beautiful Woman

Catherine suddenly burst into laughter, laughing uncontrollably: "Well, since Gu Fan is in Dark City, with his skills, he should have already rescued you, right?"

"You’re quite smart, aren’t you?" Li Shi wore an indifferent expression, as if she didn’t mind being exposed.

Suddenly, Catherine’s face darkened: "Alright, enough jokes. I’m not Helen, nor do I have her good temper. If you don’t answer my questions obediently, I will offer you to my subordinates."

Upon hearing this, several people around showed eager expressions, while Gu Fan also acted very into his role, pretending he also wanted to compete.

Catherine snorted coldly: "Look at you, how pathetic each one of you is, she’s only one person, how can I divide her up among you?"

Gu Fan quickly chimed in: "Of course, it should go to the person who has merit, for example..."

Catherine slightly smiled, then pinched Gu Fan’s ear: "Right, you also have merit. If it wasn’t for the photo you provided, we couldn’t have captured her. In theory, she should be awarded to you."

"Thank you, Lady Catherine," Gu Fan quickly expressed his unexpected delight.

Catherine showed a scornful expression, then threw cold water on him: "Don’t be too happy too soon. You want to win the beauty, but there are conditions."

Gu Fan saw dissatisfaction in Catherine’s eyes and immediately panicked, knowing why Catherine was displeased.

Originally, Catherine was about to throw herself at Gu Fan, but instead, Gu Fan was scheming about Li Shi. What does this mean? Am I, Catherine, not enough for you, or in your eyes, am I inferior to Li Shi?

Gu Fan broke out in a cold sweat and quickly racked his brain to explain: "Forget it, how could an ordinary person like me dream of eating swan meat?"

"Oh, how come you suddenly developed self-awareness," Catherine said, appearing very surprised and shocked.

Gu Fan could only offer an awkward smile, feeling very anxious inside. Even if he backed out, he couldn’t stop the other men from desiring Li Shi, seeing the fervent looks in a few men’s eyes around him—it was truly a den of wolves.

Catherine set the condition: "Whoever can use this woman to help me capture Gu Fan, I will award her to him."

Upon hearing this, the subordinates all looked dejected. The task was too difficult; they didn’t know where Gu Fan was or how to contact him.

Gu Fan, on the side, became silent, feeling anxious inside. It seemed he could only hope that Helen would forcefully come to demand the person.

Gu Fan made up his mind that if Li Shi really was in danger, then he would risk it all, given that he stayed to rescue her.

Just then, another subordinate rushed in with a report, saying that Experiment No. 8 might still be in Dark City, and Experiment No. 7 will definitely come to save it. Organization X needed everyone to be prepared.

"What, Experiment No. 8 is really here? That’s quite interesting. But I hear Experiment No. 8 is Gu Fan’s good friend, so Gu Fan might also come to save him," Catherine said with a hint of anticipation, then glanced at Li Shi who was staring at the ceiling, feigning ignorance.

Catherine’s mouth turned up: "Alright, the chance to earn your keep has arrived. I will give you the photos of Experiment No. 7, Experiment No. 8, and Gu Fan. Whether you can seize this opportunity depends on your performance."

Li Shi appeared a bit shocked, not quite understanding why Catherine, having Gu Fan’s photo, didn’t recognize that Gu Fan was standing right next to her.

Li Shi certainly didn’t know that this was all arranged by Gu Fan. Catherine currently had a photograph of Ouyang Jin, so the subordinates also got a photograph of Ouyang Jin.

Gu Fan’s heart tightened. If Catherine shared Ouyang Jin’s photograph with her subordinates, and they passed it on to others, sooner or later those who knew the truth would see through it and then tell Catherine that the person in the photograph wasn’t Gu Fan.

Gu Fan took another look at Catherine, who was becoming increasingly excited, seeing that she wouldn’t miss this opportunity for recognition.

Catherine issued an order: "Alright, the photograph is in your hands now. Go and search immediately. Whoever finds him first will be handsomely rewarded, and whichever one you catch, I will gift that Eastern beauty to him."

Every man at the scene was invigorated and immediately rushed out to search.

Gu Fan knew that this was the most difficult moment; Li Shi was in danger at every moment.

"What should I do?" Gu Fan carefully surveyed his surroundings, looking for a possibility to break through with Li Shi.

The more time passed, the less likely their escape became. Gu Fan knew time was of the essence, every second counted, but he couldn’t think of a good way to escape from here.

Gu Fan believed that it might not be long before Catherine would get the real photograph from Organization X. What would her expression be then?

Catherine glanced at Gu Fan: "Why aren’t you going out to capture Gu Fan and his accomplices? Maybe you could miraculously complete the mission and win the beauty."

Gu Fan quickly declared his loyalty: "To me, the most important person right now is to protect Lady Catherine. Now that everyone has gone out, I am the only one left by Lady Catherine’s side, so I should definitely not leave."

"Well said, that’s what I expect from my subordinates," Catherine acknowledged with approval, which essentially meant Gu Fan had chosen Catherine between two beauties.

"What are you doing?" Li Shi saw it, noticing Catherine’s increasingly interested look at Gu Fan, feeling that the relationship between Gu Fan and Catherine was not simple.

But with Li Shi being the third wheel here, Catherine naturally wouldn’t engage in excessively inappropriate behavior, so she commanded Gu Fan to lock Li Shi in the basement.

Gu Fan immediately obeyed the command and then pushed Li Shi gently, saying calmly, "Let’s go."

Li Shi pretended to be dissatisfied and snorted but followed Gu Fan, feeling secretly delighted. Now that she was in Gu Fan’s hands, wasn’t she safe?

Just as Gu Fan was about to escort Li Shi away, Catherine suddenly added, "Hurry up, I’ll give you ten minutes, I have other tasks for you."

Hearing this, Gu Fan’s heart tightened. With such a short time, ten minutes, he could do nothing, and with Li Shi, they couldn’t get far before being discovered.

To avoid arousing Catherine’s suspicion, Gu Fan hurriedly nodded, acknowledging he understood and would be quick.

Li Shi was very dissatisfied now and immediately protested, "What’s this about? I was staying in a luxurious bedroom, and now I’m being moved to a basement? The treatment is too poor; I have to complain about you all. Aren’t you all part of the same organization?"

Catherine just laughed and responded, "Wait till you help us capture Gu Fan, then I’ll treat you like a sister, giving you the best treatment."
