Chapter 1583: Chapter 1583: Pies Don’t Fall from the Sky

On this day, Gu Ling came bouncing back home, excitedly announcing to everyone that she had passed her graduate school exams, and her advisor is even a well-known professor; she felt as if she was dreaming.

Strangely enough, Gu Ling had been working and preparing for her graduate studies for years, always busy, yet despite her diligent efforts, she had never been admitted, which was quite discouraging. Just when she was about to give up, she surprisingly received the acceptance letter.

Gu Fan also expected this and applauded for Gu Ling, while secretly despising those bigshots. Now, if Gu Fan were to confront those influential people, he would have to consider Gu Ling’s future and feelings.

Gu Xiaojin held the hand of her younger self, bringing Xiaojinjin along to clap for Gu Ling, which Xiaojinjin did not like at all; Xiaojinjin always felt that this woman who suddenly appeared at home always liked to bully him.

While congratulating Gu Ling, Su Hui also began to nag, feeling that Gu Ling, being over thirty, should find someone to settle down with.

Gu Ling immediately stated she didn’t need a boyfriend; she felt having Gu Fan, Su Hui, and Xiaojinjin was enough, and it was great for the family to live under the same roof.

"Are you really not anxious at all?" Su Hui was quite worried for Gu Ling, as the golden years for a woman are usually brief, and there’s a saying, "Time is a woman’s biggest enemy."

In response, Gu Xiaojin quickly said, "Mom, don’t worry, auntie will meet her Mr. Right, because her Mr. Right is..."

"Don’t say anymore!" Gu Ling quickly threw her bag out, interrupting Gu Xiaojin’s words.

Gu Fan and Su Hui were shocked by Gu Ling’s overly dramatic reaction, then looked at her suspiciously.

"This..." Gu Ling felt guilty and couldn’t meet Gu Fan’s eyes, then she ran upstairs.

Seeing Gu Ling behave this way, Gu Fan roughly guessed that Gu Ling must have someone outside, but she just wouldn’t tell the family, so this person must be somewhat significant.

Considering his sister’s life-long happiness, Gu Fan quickly looked towards Gu Xiaojin and asked, "Do you know if your aunt has a boyfriend? Come on, who is he?"

"Ah~" Gu Xiaojin first played dumb, then replied, "I don’t know, you should ask auntie."

"Do you really not know?" Gu Fan squinted and scrutinized her, making Gu Xiaojin very nervous, so she quickly took Xiaojinjin to wash up.

"Come on, Xiaojinjin, let your sister take you..." Gu Xiaojin, unwilling and reluctant, walked into the bathroom with Xiaojinjin, laughing wickedly.

Gu Fan watched this scene, shaking his head, unable to suppress a smile; Gu Xiaojin was really too unkind, always loving to bully her younger self.

Su Hui frowned, seemingly displeased, then glanced at Gu Fan, her look conveying a signal.

Family trivial matters are always the most worrisome; Gu Fan quickly picked up the remote control to watch TV, to catch up on the news and pay attention to the world outside.

Facing Gu Fan playing dumb, Su Hui got quite frustrated, picked up a paper cup beside her and threw it towards Gu Fan, wanting him to start taking things seriously.

Just then, the news reported an attack in the city where the victim’s neck had bite marks from a wild beast and their blood was completely drained.

The incident quickly became the talk of the town, with many netizens commenting. Some people thought it might be the rumored vampires, suggesting there might be some truth in movies and rumors.

Others advised that before the truth was clear, it’s best for everyone not to go out late at night.

Gu Fan frowned, many of his vampires were stationed in Dark City. This city only had seven vampires, including Helen, and about a dozen regular members. Who could have done this?

The situation was serious, so Gu Fan immediately called Helen. After talking with her on the phone, he learned that all seven vampires hadn’t left tonight and were all playing games at their residence.

Knowing it wasn’t one of his vampires, Gu Fan felt relieved. That could mean there were other vampires involved, who dared to cause trouble in this city knowing Gu Fan was here.

"Wait, are vampires that foolish?" Gu Fan furrowed his brows and then glanced at Su Hui to hear her opinion.

Su Hui didn’t think the vampires were so foolhardy either. Of all cities, they choose to come to the one where Gu Fan resides, and typically, when vampires caused trouble, all forces would try to cover it up, but this time it seemed to be deliberately magnified.

Gu Fan started analyzing everything, and he sensed a conspiracy brewing. Thus, he dressed up to inspect the city thoroughly, as a dangerous creature had arrived, and he couldn’t just ignore it.

With Gu Fan’s strength, he could be said to be invincible, Su Hui was confident about that. But they had to prepare for the worst, as handling influential figures from various powers was the trickiest part.

Heeding Su Hui’s advice, Gu Fan decided not to confront directly if avoidable.

Gu Fan drove out, just casually strolling and inspecting around. As for his family, he trusted they would be safe at home, as the influential figures of various powers wouldn’t be foolish enough to harm Gu Fan’s family and friends after agreements were made.

Late at night, the streets were deserted. Gu Fan parked his car by the roadside, got out, and lit a cigarette, taking a deep inhale.

Soon, Helen appeared with some vampires and a few regular members from a nightclub. Seeing Gu Fan, they exhibited a respectful posture as if greeting their boss.

One of the vampires quickly stated, "Boss Gu, you have to trust us. We have been with you for so long, and in this city for so many years, even if we drink just a little blood each day, even if it’s from the same few people and it tastes terrible, we’ve endured it. Actually, we’d like to abandon such a beast-like existence."

A regular member couldn’t stand it, "What are you talking about? We provide you with our precious blood, how can you be so ungrateful?"

"All right, enough with the jokes, we need to get serious now," Gu Fan put on a stern demeanor, and the others dared not to joke anymore.

Gu Fan began giving orders, instructing the regular members and Helen to guard the club, while the vampires would accompany him on a thorough patrol, searching for any suspicious signs.

Moreover, Gu Fan stressed that everyone should be cautious. If it really was a malevolent vampire, then good, it’d be a chance to prove everyone’s commitment to reform. If not, then it meant serious trouble.

Everyone expressed confusion, but Helen felt a pinch in her heart, sensing that things might not be good, or else Gu Fan wouldn’t be so serious.
