Those Classmates who Suddenly Disappeared

Chapter 490: Chapter 490: New Clubhouse

The big boss’s power in this city had been uprooted, and the Elite Club had also closed down, but Lian Shengxiong did not disappoint, opening up a new club for the big boss to reside and dispatch business.

This evening, Gu Fan was invited to attend. The moment he entered the club, he saw people coming and going, everyone was laughing and chatting, the atmosphere was lively.

"Very impressive!" Gu Fan had to admire Lian Shengxiong’s business acumen, not only retreat with whole skin last time but also dare to come back and reopen the Elite Club.

As he saw Gu Fan walk in, the first reaction from the people around was that someone with some capabilities had arrived, so they went forward to greet Gu Fan.

Gu Fan politely responded and continued upstairs, attracting envious looks from others because going upstairs is symbolic of someone’s status in the club.

Gu Fan didn’t care about the curious eyes around, he just wanted to finish up quickly and leave. When he opened the door to the VIP room, he saw the big boss sitting comfortably, enjoying a fine drink.

Leng Le was sitting to one side, with people from the Zhu Family on the other, while Lian Shengxiong was pouring drinks at the bar, courteously passing a glass to Gu Fan.

Gu Fan saw that Lian Shengxiong was acting as if nothing had happened, and even seemed to be doing quite well, which made Gu Fan frown.

According to Su Hui, during the last crackdown on the big boss’s powers, in order to protect himself, Lian Shengxiong willingly turned over a lot of information on people who were in league with the big boss. He claimed that he was forced into this, after all, there were so many powerful people above him, and he was just a businessman who wouldn’t dare to defy them.

Unexpectedly, the higher-ups actually believed that Lian Shengxiong was left without a choice and let him off. Who’d have thought this guy would continue to secretly follow the big boss.

Lian Shengxiong noticed Gu Fan’s skeptical glance and couldn’t help but laugh, saying, "What, are you surprised to see me not being arrested."

To this, Gu Fan just gave a light smile. "If I’m not mistaken, last time you willingly provided information and evidence, and distanced yourself from the big boss, helping us to break down the big boss’s power, it was probably the boss’s idea. Because at that time, the situation was irretrievable, the boss hoped you could escape and then rebuild the power."

"Yes, you are smart; you guessed right." Lian Shengxiong toasted his glass with Gu Fan’s and complimented, "We don’t feel wronged to lose to you."

Gu Fan turned solemn: "If you guys call me here, aren’t you afraid that I’ll leak the information and have you all rounded up?"

Leng Le seemed unperturbed: "Alright, Gu Fan, you can report to the higher-ups. Then, the officials would be afraid and arrest us all, and incidentally, also arrest Lin Xi and Du Jun. Is that what you want to see?"

At these words, Gu Fan furrowed his brow, understanding one thing: in some ways, both Gu Fan and Lin Xi would suffer a mutual loss along with these people.

"Fine, as long as you guys don’t make it difficult for me, you can do whatever you want." Finished speaking, Gu Fan found a couch and comfortably sat down, then asked a question. "You called me here, what do you want to do?"

"No rush, let’s finish this drink first." Lian Shengxiong poured another drink for Gu Fan, looking very hospitable.

But Gu Fan waved his hand: "No, thanks. I’m afraid of getting drunk and you guys taking advantage."

Leng Le sneered: "If we really wanted to harm you, we wouldn’t have helped you deal with Shennv Xuanhui. If we really want to go against you, do you think we can’t get you if you don’t drink? Moreover, you are clear about these two points, so that’s why you dared to come here alone."

"That’s right. My ex-girlfriend really knows me after all." After speaking, Gu Fan gave a smile of deep meaning, his eyes continuously staring at Leng Le.

Being stared at like this by Gu Fan, Leng Le felt like she was being watched by some evil entity. She was uncomfortable all over and hurriedly changed the topic: "Okay, let’s talk business. Today, we called you here to formally notify you that the big boss doesn’t owe you anything anymore. If there’s any future cooperation, we can discuss it, but if hostile, don’t blame us for being ruthless."

"Thank you for the notification. I’ll do my best to avoid going against you." Gu Fan reassured, but deep down, he was skeptical if they’d only called him just for this.

Sure enough, Leng Le emphasized: "Right now, there is one thing. We hope you won’t go against us."

"Oh, you guys are worried about this. You’re worried that I might interfere and ruin your good plan. This shows your ill intentions." Gu Fan said while giving Leng Le a doubtful look.

Leng Le almost rolled her eyes at Gu Fan, exasperated: "Gu Fan, please don’t imagine us to be that bad, as if whatever we do is wrong. We came to you this time with good intentions."

Gu Fan looked puzzled: "Consulting me? Consulting me about what? We owe each other nothing and will go our separate ways."

"Can you please stop interrupting me?" Leng Le suppressed her anger, but the person beside her from the Zhu Family could tell that Gu Fan didn’t want to have a proper conversation with Leng Le and asked her to stop.

The person from the Zhu Family started the conversation: "Gu Fan, actually we Zhu Family used to live in your old house, but due to various reasons, we moved out. Now that we are back in the country, we want to return to our roots and live back in the old house."

Gu Fan sighed, showing a troubled look: "Please, it’s not that I’m stingy. First, it needs to be confirmed whether your family lived in the old house as you said. Second, even if your family did live in the old house, the property now completely belongs to our family and letting you live in that is inappropriate. Third, it’s not my old house, it’s my parents’ and asking you to live in it needs their consent."

Leng Le interrupted: "Nonsense, when Su Hui moved into the old house, did your parents agree? You even dared not to tell your parents. You were just trying to hide her."

With such an argument, Gu Fan was left speechless.

The person from Zhu Family calmly said: "So, I hope you can organise a meeting with your parents. I want to talk to them face to face. I’m prepared to offer ten million yuan to buy the old house."

"I’m sorry, although our family isn’t incredibly wealthy, my parents work hard, so we’re not short of money. There’s no need to sell the old house." After finishing his words, Gu Fan got up. Clearly not interested in continuing the discussion: "Also, I’m not going to relay this for you because I fear my parents might give in to your offer. Besides, I like our old house very much, I can’t bear to sell it."
