Those Classmates who Suddenly Disappeared -
Chapter 267 Dispute
Chapter 267: 267 Dispute
As expected, Zhuo Hang arrived with a few colleagues. Once they arrived, they saw chaos, plenty of blood, and the aftereffects of an intense fight.
Zhuo Hang furrowed his eyebrows and demanded, "What on earth happened?"
Su Hui quickly stepped forward to explain, "We ran into the big boss which led to a fight. Probably he was retaliating against us. Luckily, some kind-hearted people helped us escape this near-fatal situation. You would have no idea how dangerous it was."
After hearing this, Zhuo Hang looked skeptical. He eyed Su Hui, who was trying to laugh it off, with doubt. Having known Su Hui for many years in his profession, he was sure she was hiding something from him.
Zhuo Hang instructed his colleagues to investigate the scene. He then looked sternly at Su Hui and reprimanded, "The twelve classmates of Gu Fan disappeared before, found later, and the report you wrote made no sense and yet it was approved. I want to know why."
"Have you read that report? It was average, not as nonsensical as you imply." Su Hui was quite embarrassed. The big boss had also attempted to cover up the truth, allowing Su Hui’s absurd report to pass. However, Zhuo Hang’s main task was not targeting Su Hui, so he didn’t scrutinize the report after reading it.
Now that the big boss’s power was essentially shattered, Zhuo Hang could really revisit and study the report. He wanted to know how these twelve classmates were found.
"Actually, I... I don’t know how to explain it to you," Su Hui said with a bitter smile, looking troubled, which irritated Zhuo Hang, "What do you mean by this, Su Hui? Are you still hiding something from me?"
In response, Gu Fan immediately stepped forward to mediate, "It is not that we want to hide something from you, but if we told you, no one would believe us. You would think we are insane."
After hearing this, Zhuo Hang, seeing Gu Fan and Su Hui’s united front, felt they were ganging up to fool him. Irritated, he ignored Su Hui and went on to scrutinize the scene.
Watching Zhuo Hang storm off, Su Hui and Gu Fan exchanged worried looks, unsure of what to do. They wondered if Zhuo Hang’s insistence on pursuing the investigation might lead to trouble.
Zhuo Hang’s team temporarily took over here while everyone else returned home to rest, ready for a summons at any moment.
When Su Hui and Gu Fan returned home, utterly exhausted, Su Hui was the first to collapse onto the sofa, leaving Gu Fan powerless. He lay down on the spot. They were both too tired to even climb another flight of stairs.
After the battle, Su Hui and Gu Fan were both hurt, but Lin Xi applied her extraordinary methods, allowing Su Hui and Gu Fan’s injuries to heal quickly without needing to go to the hospital.
The two quickly fell asleep, dreaming, and before they knew it, night had fallen.
The sound of knocking woke both of them. Su Hui tapped Gu Fan, indicating him to open the door. When Gu Fan lazily objected, Su Hui tapped him again.
"You lazy woman," Gu Fan reluctantly got up. When he opened the door, he was taken aback. It was Zhuo Hang, who looked upset.
The moment she saw Zhuo Hang, Su Hui hurriedly got up, not caring about her messy hair. She tidied her clothes a bit, and chuckled nervously. "What brings you here?"
Zhuo Hang said indifferently, "I checked the scene and found many questionable things. I hope you can tell me everything."
"Alright, let’s go upstairs." Under Su Hui’s lead, Zhuo Hang followed her upstairs, making Gu Fan very nervous. He wondered if their conversation would go smoothly, if Su Hui could convince Zhuo Hang to drop the investigation. Otherwise, things would become complicated and troublesome again.
Just as Gu Fan was sweating bullets for Su Hui, his own problem surfaced. The door was knocked again, astonishing Gu Fan. He wondered who it could be. It couldn’t be the property manager for the management fee, could it?
When Gu Fan opened the door, he was momentarily stunned to see Leng Le, who was beaming. After thinking for a while and hesitating for a moment, he gestured for her to come in and said, "What’s up, beautiful? Weren’t you super busy? How come you suddenly have time to visit me?"
"I only have you as my boyfriend. No matter how busy I am, I need to make time to see you," Leng Le replied as she walked in, chuckling. However, when she saw the demoralised Gu Fan, she asked, "What’s wrong? You look really tired."
Gu Fan quickly found an excuse, "It’s nothing. I just had a workout at the fight club, and I’m a bit tired. I’ll be fine after a rest."
"You should exercise in moderation. Who allowed you to exhaust yourself?" Leng Le was annoyed. Upon hearing her words, Gu Fan quickly acknowledged his mistake and thanked her for the correction.
Bullshit. Leng Le knew exactly what Gu Fan had been through. She was just testing the waters based on the big boss’s instructions, and she secretly admired Gu Fan and Su Hui for managing to drive off such a powerful big boss.
The big boss was also recovering and temporarily couldn’t bother Gu Fan, but the big boss was worried about the whereabouts of those blueprints.
Just as Leng Le was about to say something more, she suddenly heard a man and a woman arguing upstairs, so she curiously asked, "Who’s upstairs?"
"It’s Sister Su and her boyfriend," Gu Fan replied, and Leng Le’s eyes rolled, "Are they discussing Su Hui moving out? Is Su Hui going to move into her boyfriend’s house?"
"That...should be..." Gu Fan felt tense and didn’t expect Leng Le to keep holding onto this issue.
Out of the blue, a heated argument erupted upstairs. They couldn’t discern the exact content, but both Leng Le and Gu Fan found it strange for them to suddenly start arguing.
After a while, they saw Zhuo Hang storm down from the upstairs, clearly unhappy.
"What’s going on? What’s the matter?" Leng Le was perplexed, while Gu Fan’s face was full of embarrassment. "As you can see, Sister Su and her boyfriend are now in the argument phase of their relationship. They’re not in a good mood. This isn’t the time to add fuel to the fire and force Sister Su to move out. Let’s give her some more time."
"Alright, I’m not unreasonable." Leng Le put on an understanding face, and Gu Fan outwardly showed his appreciation for having a sensible girlfriend, while secretly grumbling, "I’ve never seen a woman who’s sensible."
They talked a little more, then Leng Le told Gu Fan to rest and left. She still had many things to take care of.
Seeing Leng Le leave, Gu Fan finally breathed a sigh of relief. Once he closed the door and raised his head to look upstairs, he started to worry about Su Hui.
