Chapter 427: Chapter 427: What You Fear Comes

"What happened, you guys look a bit strange." Li Xiaoyan looked at everyone’s unnatural expressions, feeling puzzled, and then added, "You wouldn’t be unwelcome to Yang Xinran, right?"

Lin Xi immediately explained: "Of course not, the more the merrier, everyone is happy, I’m going to call Yang Xinran right now." After saying that, Lin Xi really did make the call.

Gu Fan was a bit worried. If Yang Xinran was called over, her boyfriend might also come along. Then, Ning Qi would know that Gu Fan and Lin Xi were there, and in the end, Qian Ying would also find out. This would likely make tonight unsettled.

"Xinran, are you also here to see the floats?" Lin Xi’s voice also became a tad sickly sweet, as if she was jesting, which seemed somewhat fake.

"Yes, we’re also nearby. We have a spot here, Li Xiaoyan is here too, everyone is here, there are many people. Come join us, and bring your boyfriend along, so we can all get to know him." Lin Xi openly invited Yang Xinran and her boyfriend.

Lu Yi scratched his head, indicating a bit of a headache.

Gu Fan trusted Lin Xi. Since Lin Xi dared to expose her whereabouts, she wasn’t afraid of the enemy taking any action. So Gu Fan whispered, "Lin Xi, do you have any countermeasures?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Xi shook her head: "No, I don’t have any. We’ll just play it by ear."

Hearing such an irresponsible remark, Gu Fan also started to get a headache. If a scene broke out later, what should he do? Tonight, he just wanted to have fun, not exhaust himself.

A while later, Yang Xinran came with her handsome boyfriend, Zhang Yang, immediately attracting everyone’s attention. Everyone made room for them and kept complimenting Yang Xinran on her good taste for having such a handsome boyfriend.

Of course, Yang Xinran was delighted to hear this, her boyfriend had brought honor to her, making her get along much better with everyone.

Everyone chatted away while eating and drinking, forgetting all about watching the floats.

During this time, Li Xiaoyan and Yang Xinran had one question, wasn’t Du Jun supposed to be studying abroad? How did he have time to join them today? And when did he get a girlfriend?

After some thought, Du Jun stated that he might return to school soon and hopes to serve as president of the dance club, thus ending the power struggle between Yang Xinran and Lin Xi.

Everyone welcomed Du Jun’s return. Gu Fan had long since regarded Du Jun as a friend.

Later, Zhang Yang excused himself to use the restroom, immediately raising everyone’s guard. They all felt that Zhang Yang was going to tip off some people.

Sure enough, after Zhang Yang returned, Du Jun also got a message. Apparently, the guys who had been monitoring Ning Qi noticed a car coming out of Ning Qi’s villa. The license plate number was Ning Qi’s, but they didn’t know how many were in the car.

"They’re coming!" Lin Xi frowned, and Lu Yi and Jie became extremely tense.

If Ning Qi came, Qian Ying might also come, inevitable conflict was about to break out. Gu Fan started thinking about what would happen next and how to counter it.

"Du Jun, Qin Jia, didn’t you say you had something else to do? You are running out of time now." After Gu Fan finished speaking, he signaled with his eyes, and Du Jun immediately made an apologetic face: "I’m sorry, we have something else to do, let’s chat another day." Du Jun then left with Qin Jia.

Li Xiaoyan was a bit reluctant to part with them, but thinking that Du Jun would soon return to campus, back to the dance club, she felt that she still had many opportunities to win him back.

Seeing Li Xiaoyan’s tenacious expression, Lin Xi felt secretly worried. She felt that Li Xiaoyan would eventually find out how Du Jun ended up with Qin Jia. When that happened, would Li Xiaoyan still be her bestie?

Gu Fan could tell what Lin Xi was worrying about just by her expression. Now was not the time to worry about girlfriend problems; the enemy was about to come for her.

Gu Fan tugged Lin Xi’s ear and said, "Please, focus a little."

Lin Xi replied with an "oh", then she began to throw questions at Zhang Yang, asking many questions like how Yang Xinran and Zhang Yang met and so on.

Estimating the time, Gu Fan also found an excuse to use the restroom and called Lu Yi and Jie out to discuss what to do next.

Lu Yi had a bitter face: "What do we do? It’s Miss Lin who has gotten us into this mess. The most powerful person here is Miss Lin. What can we do? She must have a plan when she attracted the enemy here, right?"

"If she had a plan, she would have told me by now. Look at her, she is obviously counting on me to solve everything." Gu Fan said with a bitter face, and then added, "According to Lin Xi, for Qian Ying to control someone’s consciousness, two conditions must be met. The first is eye contact, and the second is physical contact. Firstly, you guys need to be cautious of any strange women coming close. As for what’s next..."

Gu Fan thought again and again, he had never encountered such a tricky situation, it was giving him a real headache.

Jie made a suggestion: "There’s one more thing, when Qian Ying controls someone, she must concentrate and cannot be disturbed. We can use the same method from last time, and let Xiaoling pinpoint Qian Ying’s location."

"We can’t, we can’t get Xiaoling involved." Gu Fan loves his sister, not wanting to put Gu Ling in danger. Moreover, he didn’t want Gu Ling to know too much about Lin Xi’s secrets. The more people that know, the more likely it is for Gu Fan’s parents to find out. If that happened, they might not be able to accept Lin Xi.

Jie seemed troubled: "If we don’t rely on Gu Ling, how are we supposed to find Qian Ying?"

"That’s the problem." Gu Fan was trying to find a solution, if he were Ning Qi and Qian Ying, knowing that Lin Xi was here, what would they do next?

"They drove here, they came by car today." Gu Fan had a sudden inspiration and quickly opened the map on his phone to check the surroundings.

Sure enough, traffic control had been imposed all-around early on, so Ning Qi’s car couldn’t get here, it had to be parked nearby. However, finding a parking spot tonight was hard, so they have to park farther away.

"Where, where? Where would you guys park?" Gu Fan looked around but couldn’t determine where, so he marked out a range and told Jie and Lu Yi to split up and look.

However, Gu Fan knew this was like a blind cat trying to catch a dead rat, but he could only give it a try.

"What else? What else?" Gu Fan was clueless, he didn’t know where the enemy would attack from or what measures they would take. He could only place his hopes on Du Jun, hoping that Du Jun might find something.
