Chapter 378: Chapter 378: Cold Woman

"Very well, if the audience strongly demands it, then I will say it," said Gu Fan. After he finished speaking, he glanced at Leng Le’s painful expression. His heart ached slightly, but still, he kept speaking: "When we went to rescue Du Jun, I waited for your entire force to leave before we took action. However, you all turned back and ambushed us. How did you know we were going to save Du Jun after you left? We checked for surveillance devices later, but there were none. You must have known about my actions through some means."

"Apart from this, I noticed something else. I dressed up as a delivery person to give food to the person who guarded Du Jun. But after the guard received a call, they knew I was not a real delivery person." Gu Fan’s face darkened after he finished speaking and added emphasis on his next words: "Most concerning to me is that the guard said ’Sister Leng’ on the phone."

Leng Le felt a chill go through her heart. Only then did she realize that not only had she slipped up, but her subordinates had as well.

Gu Fan didn’t care about what Leng Le was thinking at that moment and continued speaking: "Previously, when we went to the unfinished building to find Old Xing, I was certain that no one had followed us. But your people still found the unfinished building and took Old Xing away. You must have had some serious surveillance on us."

Leng Le immediately countered, "It’s also possible that we had already released Su Hui and put a tracker on her vehicle. When Su Hui had anything with Old Xing’s fingerprints on it, we started following Su Hui, which led us to Old Xing."

Gu Fan paused slightly then nodded, "Indeed, that’s a possibility. But I didn’t think of that, especially after I had found a tracker in my old phone. That’s when I started to question things, like why you knew we were going to save Du Jun. Even without being followed, you still found the unfinished building, found Old Xing. So, I thought, maybe there’s a tracker in my new phone, too. But you, Leng Le, were the one who gave me this new phone."

"So that’s when you started suspecting me?" said Leng Le.

Gu Fan nodded, "Yes. I never opened this phone. There’s no signs of it being tampered with. So, if someone was able to install a tracker on this phone, it could only have been you, Leng Le."

The Boss was a little confused, "While your suspicions are reasonable, you still don’t have any proof. Your new phone has never been opened and whether there’s a tracker inside is yet to be proven. But you created a conclusion that there’s something wrong with Leng Le."

Gu Fan picked up his phone and waved it in front of everyone, "There are two reasons why I didn’t open the phone. The first is that I didn’t want to blow my cover. If there truly is a tracker in the phone and you found out I had opened it, who knows what would happen? Secondly, I didn’t want to believe the person I deeply love could be so cruel." As he said this, Gu Fan’s voice was filled with sadness while Leng Le avoided his gaze.

"To confirm my suspicions, I set a trap. When we were investigating the Elite Club, I let the phone’s battery run out and put it in a shutdown state. Lian Shengxiong didn’t notice we were investigating him," Gu Fan said, staring firmly at Leng Le who finally understood, "So that’s why during that time, I kept losing your signal. I was frustrated and thought maybe your health was bad, so you forgot to charge your phone. I didn’t expect it was all a scheme against me."

"That’s right. The last time we were investigating the Elite Club, I turned the phone on so you knew exactly where I was. I knew that once you found out I was at the Elite Club, even if you thought it was strange, you wouldn’t have time to think much and could only warn Lian Shengxiong. So Lian noticed something was amiss and escaped from the back entrance." Gu Fan’s words piece by piece reconstructed the truth of the situation. He saw Leng Le’s expression return to normal, knowing she accepted the fact she had been exposed.

"That’s when I confirmed there’s a tracker in my new phone and that you, Leng Le, are suspicious," he said, then laughed at himself bitterly, "But I still love you. I can’t accept that the person I love deeply would do this to me. So when the Boss made you a hostage to coerce me, I agreed without hesitation. I was naive enough to believe that you were overmatched, or maybe I was overthinking it, that everything was just a coincidence. What if I wronged you? For these unproven incidents, shall I just abandon you?"

Hearing that, the Boss couldn’t help but laugh, "Gu Fan, you are indeed a hopeless romantic. You knew Leng Le could possibly be working for me, but you still willingly came here."

Gu Fan ignored the Boss’s mockery and stared at Leng Le blankly.

Leng Le finally managed to adjust her mindset and faced Gu Fan again, forcing a smile, "Since you’re willing to take this one in a thousand chance, why did you create this trap to expose me?"

Gu Fan laughed at himself bitterly, "Yes, I originally wanted to pretend this was all my overthinking. I wanted to play dumb. But when I rescued you and discovered you still had your phone on you, that’s when I had a wake-up call. I can’t gamble all of my friends’ lives on that one chance. I came here to rescue you and they came to help me. But I might have been rescuing an enemy who was pretending to love me."

"I created this trap because if you were innocent, you wouldn’t fall for it." After finishing speaking, Gu Fan shook his head with a bitter smile. "But in the end, you disappointed me. You are indeed working for the Boss."

Listening to this, the Boss laughed loudly, seeming to take pleasure in Gu Fan’s discomfort, "So, how does it feel, Gu Fan, knowing that the person you love deeply has betrayed and used you? You came here working hard, risking your life, but what did you get in return?"

"Yes, I also want to know why you would treat me like this." Gu Fan stared at Leng Le. However, she coldly shifted her gaze away.

The Boss seemed excited, "Alright, Gu Fan, I’ll tell you a little secret. Actually, Leng Le, she... "

"Boss, now that we’ve cleared things up, there’s no need to say anything else. Let’s just decide how to resolve this." Leng Le’s gaze became chilly, her heart growing colder, pushing everyone away.
