Chapter 827: Chapter 827: No Escape No Matter How You Run

The time had come for the rendezvous, and the Haiyan Gang arrived with ten trucks in tow, each time loaded with some machinery to disguise the existence of the space-time door.

With everyone working together, they managed to heave the space-time door onto one of the Haiyan Gang’s trucks.

Well, things were progressing pretty smoothly up to this point, and if they didn’t run into any trouble on the way, they would be able to escape from here. Even Gu Fan, Su Hui, and David felt they wouldn’t encounter further issues, but for some reason, they felt uneasy.

The people from the Fat Tiger Gang said they could only help to this extent; they were powerless regarding what came next. They asked Gu Fan for the final payment, and he readily agreed, handing over a large sum of money to the Fat Tiger Gang. It didn’t matter to him—it wasn’t his money, after all, and spending it didn’t make his heart ache.

Afterward, everyone got into the Haiyan Gang’s vehicles and left the city without a hitch—unexpectedly smooth sailing all the way.

When they reached a certain place and halted because the Fat Tiger Gang wanted to split off and strike out on their own, planning to venture to other cities,

Gu Fan agreed but hoped the Fat Tiger Gang would engage in legit businesses and stop the endless cycle of violence. Besides, with only a few of them left, they probably didn’t have the capacity to cause much trouble anyway.

The Fat Tiger Gang acknowledged that after such a major event, they truly longed for peace. They were grateful to Gu Fan for giving them a hefty sum that allowed them to start over.

After bidding farewell to the Fat Tiger Gang, the group continued their journey in the Haiyan Gang’s vehicles. Their destination was a port city, with a plan to sneak out by boat from there and transport the goods to international waters, where Du Jun would send a cargo ship to rendezvous with them.

If all went well, they could all return peacefully, but the fear was of suddenly running into a group determined to stop them.

After such a heart-racing period, Gu Fan and Su Hui only wished for a smooth return and swore never to travel abroad lightly again—it was just too chaotic out there.

At that moment, Su Hui received a call from Zhuo Hang, who mentioned that Su Hui had taken another long leave and also that Gu Fan had not been around in their hometown city. He surmised that Su Hui had taken the leave to help Gu Fan with something.

Zhuo Hang wanted to ask if there was anything he could assist with, telling Su Hui to just speak up if needed.

Su Hui explained that she and Gu Fan had run into some trouble but had overcome it and were on their way back.

Knowing Su Hui didn’t need help, Zhuo Hang felt somewhat disappointed and wished her a safe journey before ending the call.

At that, Gu Fan frowned and commented, "It seems this Zhuo Hang is still pretty concerned about you. Has he not given up yet?"

"What are you talking about? We’re just colleagues now, nothing more than the necessary concern between colleagues," Su Hui replied nonchalantly as if that was truly the case.

Gu Fan gave her a disbelieving look: "Colleagues now, sure, but remember you two went from colleagues to lovers in the past."

"Okay, stop worrying. I won’t rekindle things with him, I’m clear on that," Su Hui said seriously. Then something seemed to strike her, and she eyed Gu Fan curiously, "It’s strange, why are you so concerned about my love life?"

"We’re friends, and I don’t want to see you get hurt again. Every time you’re upset, I have to come up with ways to comfort you. Do you have any idea how many brain cells I’ve burned for that? Look at my gray hairs," Gu Fan replied.

"It’s just one or two gray hairs; you make it sound like it’s all my fault," Su Hui said while giving Gu Fan an annoyed punch.

Gu Fan added another line, "I also hope that Sister Su can find someone reliable, someone who will take good care of you. But Zhuo Hang is really not suitable, no matter how much he regrets or how sorry he is for you, you can’t consider him. First, he’s immortal. As the boss said, those who have lived forever have experienced too much and had everything. They no longer know how to cherish. Second, he will always be young, while you? You’ll age day by day. Can you handle that kind of shock?"

"Screw you, I’m the one who will remain eternally young and beautiful," Su Hui retorted, then lunged to strangle Gu Fan’s neck, forcing him to admit he was wrong. The two of them messed around in the car, oblivious to anyone else, which could make onlookers think they were a couple.

However, as the Haiyan Gang’s car sped along, they didn’t notice a crow following them everywhere they went.

If Gu Fan had noticed this, he would have known that his movements had been discovered, but unfortunately, he was currently laughing and joking with Su Hui, his guard down.

At that moment, the vehicles of the Black Night Gang had also started leaving the city one by one as Qian Ye sat in the car casting spells, watching the movements of the Haiyan Gang’s truck through the crow’s vision.

"Gu Fan, oh Gu Fan, I knew you would leave the city. You didn’t expect this, did you? You’ve still been found by me," Qian Ye gloated, feeling everything was under her control.

As it turned out, Qian Ye had already started making preparations early on. She had sent a large group of people out of the city and had them spread out like a spider web around it, ready to act immediately once Gu Fan left the city.

For Qian Ye, Gu Fan leaving the city was actually a good thing. It was more convenient to make a move outside the city: no more streets for him to run through, no more buildings to hide in, and no more bystanders to get in the way.

On the other side, Helen had the same idea and had made similar preparations outside the city. However, she didn’t have Qian Ye’s ability to use the vision of birds to locate Gu Fan’s whereabouts.

But Helen was lucky. She encountered members of the Fat Tiger Gang, captured them, and initially thought she’d have to use severe torture to extract Gu Fan’s whereabouts from them.

Unexpectedly, the Fat Tiger Gang, who had fought alongside Gu Fan before, quickly gave in and divulged Gu Fan’s movements because they were down to just a few survivors and simply wanted to live, one step away from starting anew.

"Good boy, thanks for cooperating," Helen said happily after getting the information. She didn’t intend to wipe them out and ordered the release of the Fat Tiger Gang.

Qiao Ya, on the other hand, didn’t care about these concerns and simply shot all the members of the Black Tiger Gang dead, which infuriated Helen. She felt that although the organization would do anything to achieve its goals, it wasn’t brutal, nor was she a brutal person.

Qiao Ya’s reasoning was simple: if the Fat Tiger Gang was released, there was a good chance they would inform Gu Fan, allowing him to prepare. Therefore, they couldn’t be released. Even if they were captured, if the Fat Tiger Gang found a chance to warn Gu Fan, it could ruin everything. This responsibility wouldn’t fall on Helen; instead, Qiao Ya took it upon himself to act decisively.
