Those Classmates who Suddenly Disappeared
Chapter 508

Chapter 508: 508

Just as Leng Le had anticipated, Gu Ling was unable to run any further, and Gu Fan was seeking a taxi. He needed to get Gu Ling out of this area as quickly as possible, the further, the better.

Out of options, Gu Fan made a call to book a taxi. The feedback he received indicated that there was a taxi nearby, which would be dispatched immediately for pick up.

Gu Fan was elated. As long as he could hold on until the taxi arrived, it would be tantamount to safety.

In merely five minutes, the taxi arrived. Without thinking, Gu Fan and Gu Ling climbed in, asking the driver to head to a location known for its security. They chose this believing it would be safer.

Meanwhile, Su Hui and Lin Xi arrived at the old house almost simultaneously. They found their boss and Qian Feng leisurely watching TV on the couch, with faces that seemed to have been waiting for them for a while.

Lin Xi furrowed her brows. From the looks of it, the boss and Qian Feng had aligned, and that didn’t bode well.

Su Hui, concerned about Gu Fan’s safety, immediately asked, "What did you do with Gu Fan? Where is he right now?"

"Ah, that one’s sharp. He’s run off somewhere by now. But don’t worry, we’ve already sent people to look for him." The boss spoke the truth, but there was something off about it that led Su Hui to question again: "I remember Gu Fan saying that you and we would stay out of each other’s affairs. And in fact, last time you helped us deal with Shennv Xuanhui. So what game are you playing now?"

Qian Feng gave a faint smile, "Can’t you see? Our interests align now, so there’s a good chance we have joined hands. I hope you don’t get pessimistic because of that."

Upon hearing this news of alignment, both Lin Xi and Su Hui felt a heavy weight upon their hearts. Their worst fears were unfolding. However, Su Hui was still puzzled, "What common interest would you two have concerning Gu Fan? Why target him, an ordinary college student?"

"That’s not something you need to know." The boss refused to answer, sparking further suspicion in Lin Xi and Su Hui.

Putting these matters aside, now that Gu Fan was in danger, Su Hui decided to find him immediately. Due to the haste of returning, her phone had died and she hadn’t received his message. She didn’t know Gu Fan’s current location.

Su Hui planned to look for him blindly, but the boss wouldn’t endure anything that could potentially damage this operation. A murderous look targeted Su Hui instantly.

However, Lin Xi stopped Qian Feng and the boss with a mere glance. She passed her phone to Su Hui, "Sister Su, this is the location Gu Fan just sent me. He’s there right now, you must go help him."

"Alright, I’ll leave him to you here. I’ll take the lead." Su Hui didn’t hesitate. She grabbed the phone and broke into a run. She knew she had to act fast. Given Gu Fan’s current state, he was definitely making a desperate dash and wouldn’t remain in one place for long.

Seeing Su Hui leaving, both the boss and Qian Feng stood up with stern expressions.

Lin Xi smirked, "Do you know why I didn’t go look for Gu Fan after receiving his location?"

After hearing this, both the boss and Qian Feng found it puzzling. Yes, Su Hui ended up at the old house when her phone died, but it was a different case for Lin Xi. She knew where Gu Fan was, so why didn’t she go...

"Because you can’t capture Gu Fan at all. He’s not as simple as you think." Lin Xi had learned how Gu Ling had helped Liu Yao easily break through a horde of pursuers abroad.

Although Leng Le had made good arrangements, it was a shame that she was unaware of Gu Ling’s capabilities, especially her ability to sense danger.

The moment Gu Fan and Gu Ling boarded the taxi, Gu Ling sensed something off. She immediately opened the other car door and pulled Gu Fan out of the car, all while it hadn’t started moving yet.

"What’s wrong Xiaoling?" Gu Fan was initially puzzled, but then surmised the reason. His sister wouldn’t act so bizarrely without cause. This driver must be problematic.

The driver also exited the car and complained, "What’s your problem?"

"I’m sorry, we’ve decided not to go. We’re sorry for troubling you. Here’s your fare." Gu Fan directly handed the driver money, intending to leave.

The driver, of course, knew he couldn’t let Gu Fan go. Otherwise, how could he complete the task Leng Le had assigned him? Thus, he feigned anger and grabbed Gu Fan’s arm, "What do you mean? Are you playing with me? This isn’t about money."

"Expected!" Gu Fan had given a hefty fare; if the driver still didn’t let them go, what else could this imply?

"Fine, I’ll give you a little more as compensation. If you’re not satisfied, I’ll file a complaint." Gu Fan handed him more money, shrugged off his arm, and left with an expression that indicated the matter was concluded.

The driver realized he didn’t have any reason to forcibly detain Gu Fan and Gu Ling. The problem was that Leng Le expected the driver to take Gu Fan and Gu Ling to a specific location.

Leng Le had already gathered her forces in a set location, anxiously waiting for good news. If she received word that Gu Fan had escaped, she’d surely blow her top. If they didn’t catch him this time, they’d truly lose their chance.

Having no other choice, the driver let Gu Fan and Gu Ling go, then immediately informed Leng Le about everything, including which direction they were headed.

"What do you mean Gu Fan didn’t take your taxi? How did that happen? Did you give something away?" Leng Le was furious, on the verge of smashing her phone. She’d prepared her forces, waiting for Gu Fan, but the cunning kid had evaded them instead of getting into the taxi.

Leng Le immediately ordered everyone to go after him only to find her henchmen too exhausted to run. Chasing Gu Fan and Gu Ling not only tested their stamina but also that of Leng Le and Qian Ying.

At that moment, Ning Qi sat on the side of the road, massaging her leg, "God, running around like this isn’t working. Not only haven’t we found any traces of Gu Fan, we’re also running our legs off."

Qian Ying was deep in thought, "This is so strange. Leng Le’s plan was very solid, even I couldn’t notice any flaws. So why did Gu Fan still manage to escape? And we haven’t seen a single trace of him from the start to the end. How on earth did he do it?"

While pondering, the image of Gu Ling kept floating in Qian Ying’s mind, along with the three occurrences when Gu Ling had effortlessly found her.

"She’s unusual, this little girl." Qian Ying vaguely guessed at Gu Ling’s abilities.
