Chapter 1545: Chapter 1545: Firmly Standing Together

Late at night, Gu Fan sneaked back home, looking around stealthily as if he were a thief, only to find the house pitch-dark, as though no one was around.

Gu Fan thought that Su Hui and Gu Ling had already gone to bed, but just as he let his guard down, the lights in the house suddenly came on, nearly startling him.

It turned out that Su Hui and Gu Ling had been waiting for a long time, deliberately keeping the lights off, fearing that Gu Fan would see the light and dare not come in.

Gu Fan hurriedly greeted them: "Hey there, you’re still up so late, staying up is bad for your skin."

"Brother, why are you coming back so late, what on earth have you been up to? Things are quite calm outside, don’t tell us you’re stirring up trouble again." Gu Ling looked at Gu Fan with a grin, as if ready to watch a good show.

On the other hand, Su Hui’s expression was very solemn, seemingly displeased, indicating the seriousness of the situation.

"Looks like you all know," Gu Fan said with a somewhat embarrassed expression, "I was indeed helping Helen." No sooner had he finished speaking than he was scolded by Su Hui: "Helping Helen is one thing, but why did you have to save so many vampires? Do you know how many big figures you’ve offended?"

"Is it really that serious?" Gu Fan could tell from Su Hui’s serious expression that the situation was probably much more severe than he had thought.

At this point, Su Hui knew that further reproach was futile and could only sigh helplessly: "The higher-ups asked me to pass a message to you; don’t get involved in this matter, so as to avoid any unpleasant conflicts with everyone."

"This..." Gu Fan was in a difficult position, then added, "Actually, my intentions are good, I just hope that everyone can live in peace. Fighting and killing all the time is not good either."

Regarding this, Su Hui shook her head in disagreement: "Gu Fan, your thoughts are commendable, but without power or influence, you have no capacity to take charge in this world." Having said that, Su Hui turned and went upstairs, giving Gu Fan some more time to think things over.

Gu Ling also reminded him: "Brother, you should listen to Sister Su, there’s no need to make enemies with so many important figures. Each of these big players is not simple and can affect every aspect of our lives."

"I know!" Gu Fan felt a heavy weight on his heart. He had just clashed with the Hunter’s Guild and various forces, and now Su Hui’s superiors had already come to warn him. It seemed that these so-called big figures really had expansive influence.

Then Gu Fan returned to his room, too preoccupied to fall asleep, increasingly worried that the situation would develop beyond his expectations. Was he really expected to abandon those vampires who could potentially be reformed?

Gu Fan knew that giving up was easier, but it would force those vampires who had seen hope to face despair once more and revert to their old ways.

The deeds of the vampires made it impossible for people to trust them, and the vampires themselves knew that humans would not easily trust them either. This was the crux of the problem - trust could not be established.

Tossing and turning, unable to sleep, Gu Fan went up to the rooftop to catch a breeze and clear his mind, to think of how to deal with those big players.

However, after a while, Gu Fan became discouraged, as he could not figure it out. He had only experience in combating evil forces, not in contending with legitimate big players.

This time the adversary did not have strong combat ability, but was the most troublesome.

As Gu Fan agonized, he heard a voice from behind: "What’s the matter? Can’t think of a solution, so you can’t sleep?"

Hearing this voice, Gu Fan turned around happily, and then saw Su Hui coming over, tossing him a can of drink.

Gu Fan caught the drink and gave a slight smile to express his gratitude.

"Tell me, why do you want to help those vampires?" Su Hui put on a listening face, which greatly comforted Gu Fan. At this time, he needed someone like Su Hui to stay with him, even if it was just for a chat.

This is what Gu Fan said: "If I don’t help those vampires, then the vampires will only blindly follow Xue Wang into the dark. I don’t think any person or any power can exterminate all vampires. I don’t know how you see this, Sister Su, but I do not want to continue fighting against Organization X."

Sister Su gave a suggestion: "Can’t you just wait for the Hunter’s Guild, various forces, and Organization X to fight each other to a standstill, and then you step in as a mediator?"

Gu Fan sighed helplessly: "If Helen hadn’t asked me for help, this method would be feasible. Unfortunately, Helen has already sought my help, and many vampires are watching my every move. If I disappoint those vampires, I will never be able to persuade them to turn away from evil again."

"So, you’ve set your mind on helping Helen and those vampires," Su Hui asked seriously, and received Gu Fan’s affirmative answer.

Since that’s the case, Su Hui could only choose to support Gu Fan. She understood to convey Gu Fan’s intentions to her superiors and also to prepare Gu Fan; those bigwigs are really not to be provoked.

Gu Fan’s brows furrowed; he thought of a plan, which was to have Su Hui convey the meeting wishes to those bigwigs through her superiors.

"You want to talk to those bigwigs in person?" Su Hui became worried, fearing that Gu Fan might not handle it well and clash with those bigwigs.

Gu Fan was very firm in his resolution. He did not want to be enemies with those bigwigs, and he believed that the bigwigs didn’t want to have a conflict with him either. Therefore, to reach a consensus, it would be beneficial for both parties to meet and have a proper discussion to solve their current dilemmas.

Su Hui said she would pass Gu Fan’s intentions on to her superiors, but she also advised Gu Fan not to hold out too much hope for an arrangement.

Man proposes, God disposes; Gu Fan let out a long sigh towards the sky, filled with pessimism as if he saw no promise in the matter at hand.

Su Hui wanted to comfort him, but didn’t know what to say.

Gu Fan casually said: "Sister Su, please promise me one thing, no matter what happens, please steadfastly stand by my side. If one day you find me sliding towards the abyss, please be sure to pull me back."

Upon hearing this, Su Hui’s heart sank; she understood what Gu Fan meant. Gu Fan was afraid that one day he would become a cold and ruthless being like the one with the mysterious mask.

Su Hui couldn’t help but think of the last words spoken by the person with the mysterious mask before leaving; the person had become what they were now because of the doings of everyone present.

Although she didn’t know what the person with the mysterious mask had gone through to turn out that way, that they could even bring themselves to kill the woman they once loved the most.

Now, as Su Hui looked at Gu Fan’s melancholic figure, worrying about the future, she was right—Gu Fan’s biggest enemy was not Organization X, not the bigwigs of various forces, but his future self.

"Rest assured, I will definitely stand by your side as always, no matter what happens, even if it means opposing the whole world." Su Hui looked at Gu Fan earnestly, her words providing the greatest encouragement to Gu Fan, who faced an uncertain future.
