Chapter 821: Chapter 821 Unsettled People

The most sensational news in the world this day was that overnight, a city had gone mad, and the major media outlets were all reporting on it, unable to cover it up.

In the old house, Gu Ling and Lu Yi watched the news and couldn’t help but exclaim, "Oh my God, it’s too crazy abroad. It’s safer in our country. We didn’t know how blessed we were before. I don’t want to go abroad anymore."

After some thought, Lu Yi asked, "By the way, which place abroad did your brother go to?"

Reminded by this, Gu Ling froze for a moment, then tried to recall, her beautiful eyes widening with alarm, as she looked at Lu Yi.

Seeing the look in Gu Ling’s eyes, Lu Yi had a bad feeling, "Xiaoling, please don’t tell me that the foreign city your brother went to is the same one."

"It seems like it." Gu Ling nodded, and Lu Yi’s heart sank, "What are you waiting for? Call your brother right now."

Gu Ling immediately dialed Gu Fan’s cell phone, and thankfully, she got through without trouble. She asked directly, "Bro, where are you now?"

"I’m abroad, I’m fine, Sister Su is fine too, I believe we’ll be able to return soon," Gu Fan said despite feeling uncertain, wondering if they could really escape smoothly after events had escalated to such a point.

Lu Yi snatched the phone from Gu Ling and asked, "Gu Fan, have you seen the news? The city is experiencing an emergency situation; it’s really serious, comparable to a terrorist attack. It looks like you’re also there, right? Don’t tell me this has something to do with you."

"We were supposed to have nothing to do with it, but it seems like we’ve been dragged into it," Gu Fan admitted awkwardly, not expecting Lu Yi to guess it right away.

Hearing this, Lu Yi sighed somewhat, "You guys always call me a doomsayer, but I just realized today that, Gu Fan, you really are the most dangerous one. Wherever you go, trouble follows. Look what you’ve done to that city."

Gu Fan could only give a wry smile, "I didn’t want any of this. I just wanted to leave quietly, but they began to chase us down. We didn’t do anything wrong, and I don’t know why it turned out like this."

At this moment, Lu Yi turned on the speakerphone, and Gu Ling hurriedly asked, "Bro, what are you planning to do now? With things like this, you have to take responsibility. Go surrender."

"Surrender what? If I go out and surrender, Lin Xi will never be able to return," Gu Fan explained the situation briefly. The current priority was finding a way to bring the space-time door back.

Gu Ling really wanted to help, but now that Gu Fan was abroad, she felt helpless. She couldn’t resist complaining, "Bro, if I had known it would come to this, you should have taken me with you. It wouldn’t have turned into such a mess. Look at all the trouble you’ve caused."

Lu Yi was displeased, "What do you mean, Gu Fan? Lin Xi and Qian Ye swapped identities? No wonder I felt something was off when I saw Lin Xi. You kept such an important matter from me; you really don’t treat me like a brother."

Gu Fan also felt apologetic, "I’m sorry, Lu Yi. I didn’t want to add to your troubles, so I thought I’d handle it myself. I wanted you to be able to live a normal life. Imagine, if I had told you, you would’ve been involved in that city’s firefight last night."

Hearing this, Lu Yi couldn’t help but shudder, quickly expressing that he was no longer bothered by it and actually thankful Gu Fan hadn’t told him.

Gu Fan then assured that he was in a safe place, there was no immediate danger, and he was planning to wait until things cooled down before attempting to escape.

"What do we do? Qian Ye seems quite formidable. To think I treated her so well before, taking her shopping," Gu Ling reflected with regret. However, Gu Fan couldn’t stand to listen anymore, "Xiaoling, you’re too much. You almost spent all my savings for a wife to please Qian Ye, and now you have the nerve to complain."

Gu Ling defended herself, saying it was a risky investment. She thought by becoming friends with Qian Ye, everyone would get along fine, and when it was time for Qian Ye to leave, she would leave happily and satisfied. She didn’t expect the woman to turn on her quicker than flipping through a book.

Gu Fan didn’t want to delve deeper into that issue. He suggested Gu Ling quickly return to stay with their parents, or she could stay with Qian Feng—but she should not return to the old house for the time being. Although Qian Ye hadn’t established her power there, precautions were necessary.

Lu Yi also felt this was possible. If Qian Ye became desperate and sent someone to snatch Gu Ling from the old house to blackmail Gu Fan into handing over the space-time door, that would be troublesome.

"Right, Gu Fan, can I tell Jie about this?" Lu Yi felt it was unfair to keep Jie in the dark, now that he knew.

After thinking it over, Gu Fan agreed, "Well, you know, Du Jun knows, Qin Jia knows, one more person knowing doesn’t matter. Besides, with how things have escalated, Jie will find out sooner or later, so just tell him. And you guys had better be ready; I might need your help at any moment."

"No problem, we can come help. But please, do me a favor and don’t cause such a big scene again. I can’t handle this kind of stress," Lu Yi pleaded.

Gu Fan emphasized again, "I told you, it’s not my fault. I just want a peaceful life. Do you think it’s easy for me?"

"Alright, alright, big brother, don’t get agitated. I wish you a safe return." After chatting for a bit more, Lu Yi hung up the phone and then glanced at Gu Ling who seemed to be plotting something.

Lu Yi worriedly said, "Xiaoling, don’t do anything rash. Don’t think about buying a plane ticket to fly over and meet up with your brother right now."

Gu Ling was surprised. "How did you know?"

Hearing this, Lu Yi slapped his forehead, torn between laughter and tears, "How did I know? Have you forgotten how you followed us to the Triangle Sea Area last time?"

Oh, Gu Ling looked embarrassed, but she was genuinely worried about Gu Fan and really wanted to help him.

Then, an idea struck her, and she quickly called Qian Feng. With a sweet tone, she said, "Sister Qian Feng, how did you sleep last night? Did you have any sweet dreams? Did you dream about me?"

"You little girl, calling me for nothing—there must be trouble on Gu Fan’s side," Qian Feng spoke as she sat on the sofa, sipping coffee and watching the news on TV. She knew where Gu Fan and Su Hui had gone and had a hunch this big news was related to Gu Fan. Now that Gu Ling was calling her out of the blue, Qian Feng could tell she needed a favor.

Qian Feng quickly understood the gist of the situation from Gu Ling, her lips curving into a smile that said she was enjoying the drama unfold.
