Chapter 847: Chapter 847: Her Chinese Name

That day, Pike was cooking at home when he suddenly heard the sound of a car engine outside, so he went to the door to take a look. To his surprise, several cars had arrived, and a few people who looked far from ordinary got out, including an exceptionally beautiful woman.

"You’re Pike," Helen sized him up and then added, "I heard about last night, and I’d like to ask you a few questions."

"What about?" Pike frowned, sensing these people had come for Gu Fan.

Helen continued, "Last night you went to a seafood restaurant to collect a debt, but you didn’t get the money. Then you got into an argument with the restaurant staff and ended up fighting. The restaurant had more people, and you took a beating."

At this point, Pike felt uncomfortable, as it’s always displeasing to have one’s misfortunes brought up.

"Then two Easterners, a man and a woman, stepped in to help you, and the woman was quite pretty," Helen observed Pike’s astonished look and knew she had hit the mark.

Pike didn’t respond directly, afraid of inviting trouble, so he simply replied, "They did help me, and then I came back. If you’re looking for them, sorry, but I don’t know where they went."

To this, Helen showed no surprise, "No problem. After they helped you, did they say anything to you, like they needed a boat and hoped you could provide some assistance?"

"This..." Pike’s brow creased, not expecting her to guess correctly.

Helen instructed her subordinates to bring over some money, then smiled slightly, "I don’t know what you replied last night, whether you refused or agreed, but I hope you can take this money and agree to cooperate with them, and then tell me where you and that man and woman are supposed to meet."

Pike looked at the money, his eyes filled with greed. It was several years’ worth of income, like a pie falling from the sky.

Just as Gu Fan had said earlier, Pike lacked professional ethics, so he happily accepted the money and told Helen the time and place he had arranged to meet with Gu Fan.

Helen was pleased after hearing this and asked Pike to do one more thing: pretend he knew nothing and show up as agreed, because she feared if Pike’s boat didn’t appear, neither would Gu Fan.

Pike nodded, willing to follow Helen’s wishes.

The rest was much simpler, just a matter of waiting for the rabbit. Helen believed that this time Gu Fan had no chance of escape, so she began to deploy her troops.

Qiao Ya, standing aside, was worried, "Strange, Gu Fan is usually very cautious. How could he have his whereabouts so easily exposed?"

To this, Helen was unconcerned, "Firstly, Gu Fan didn’t expect we had eyes everywhere and thought his movements wouldn’t be so quickly discovered. Secondly, who can blame Su Hui for having such a rare pretty Eastern face that’s easily recognizable? Thirdly, Gu Fan just wanted to take the chance to help Pike and have Pike owe him a favor, so he risked it. What if we hadn’t discovered him?"

Listening, Qiao Ya felt there was some logic to it, but somehow, he believed it couldn’t be that simple. The Gu Fan he remembered was always a planner, thoughtful in everything he did, not one to make such mistakes.

Just as Helen was feeling smug, preparing to set an ambush at the agreed spot, she suddenly received a call. One of her subordinates was reporting that they had seen Haiyan Gang’s people meeting a beautiful Orienatal woman.

Hearing the news, Helen was shocked, unable to understand why Su Hui would seek out the Haiyan Gang at this time. Weren’t she and Gu Fan supposed to be heading to the meeting place with Pike?

"Could it be a feint?" Helen and Qiao Ya thought of this possibility almost at the same time. Gu Fan must have deliberately revealed his location to make Helen think he would use Pike to leave the area, leading her to set an ambush at the meeting spot with Pike.

Consequently, the Haiyan Gang’s guards would be lax, and Gu Fan could take advantage of their resources and boats to leave.

"Good, this plan is brilliant." Qiao Ya couldn’t help admiring the strategy, while Helen, furious, floored the accelerator, racing back. She had thought she had seen through Gu Fan’s plan and was ready to capture him at the ambush site and triumphantly watch his downfall. Yet, she was the one outmaneuvered.

Half an hour later, her subordinates reported again, saying that the Haiyan Gang was transferring a beautiful Oriental woman onto a ship, and it was a big cargo ship at that.

After learning this, Helen was stunned. She had never heard about the Haiyan Gang using any large cargo ship. Moreover, both reports from her subordinates mentioned a beautiful Oriental woman. What about Gu Fan? Could it be that from the beginning, there was only one woman?

Qiao Ya felt something was off, that there might be a hitch, and he immediately instructed his subordinates to covertly take a photo to check.

A short while later, Helen and Qiao Ya received the photo, and it nearly drove them mad. The Oriental woman meeting with the Haiyan Gang was indeed beautiful, but she was not Su Hui; she was someone else.

"My God, we’ve been played. Gu Fan’s plan hasn’t changed; he still intends to use Pike to get away." Now Helen was in a frenzy as she quickly turned around, commanding everyone to stick to the original plan.

Qiao Ya was worried because time was running out. Gu Fan might already be on board, and the ship nearly ready to set sail.

All they could hope for now was for Pike to delay things, but would Gu Fan not see through it? He had personally arranged everything, and if he was in control, he absolutely wouldn’t allow for any accidents.

When Helen and Qiao Ya arrived at the scene in a flurry, they were stunned by the very sight they had hoped not to see. A ship had already set sail, braving the waves, sailing at full speed, and at the stern stood Gu Fan and Su Hui.

"Sorry, but I have to leave. Thanks for the hospitality over the past few days. I’ll think of you," Gu Fan said, waving his arm, seemingly in high spirits.

Qiao Ya’s face darkened, "Should I send someone after them?"

Helen shook her head, resigned with a smile, "Forget it, if this guy has everything planned so meticulously, he’ll definitely have people meeting him in international waters. There’s nothing we can do about it even if we catch up now."

Watching the ship grow farther away, Helen walked to the beach, took a deep breath, and shouted, "Gu Fan, listen well. My Chinese name is Gu Wei, and I share the Gu surname with you."
