Chapter 849: Chapter 849: New Changes in the Company

After much trouble, Gu Fan and Su Hui finally dragged their exhausted bodies back home, only to be pressed by the anxious looks of Gu Ling, Lu Yi, Jie, and others as soon as they entered the house.

Gu Ling immediately exclaimed, "Bro, and Sister Su, you guys really know how to cause a scene."

To this, Gu Fan gave a wry smile and shook his head, "Please, let’s not talk about it anymore, okay? I’m really tired, I just want to rest."

Su Hui was more direct, waving her fist around, "If you have any questions, just bother Gu Fan. I’m going to my room to sleep, and let me say this in advance, whoever dares to disturb me, don’t blame me for getting physical."

Lu Yi and Jie nodded to show they understood, and then they began to bombard Gu Fan with questions.

Well, there was no helping it, Gu Fan told them the rough details of everything that had happened, which shocked Lu Yi, Jie, and Gu Ling who now knew the truth.

Jie couldn’t quite believe it, "No way, you guys actually played with time travel, and even had Lin Xi and Qian Ye swap identities? That’s really not good of you."

Gu Fan could only apologize, "I’m sorry Jie, it’s not that I don’t trust you. I just don’t want everyone to worry about me anymore. As for how this guy Lu Yi found out, he just stumbled upon it by chance."

Hearing this, Jie was slightly annoyed, "What do you mean? We’re supposed to help each other out, support one another. We’ve been through so much together. Would I mind something like this? I’ve been working out lately just so I can always be ready to help you, Gu Fan, with new troubles." After saying that, Jie flexed his muscles, a look of pride on his face.

"No way, your limbs are so developed now, let me touch them, please?" Lu Yi, showing an envious expression, actually reached out to touch Jie’s muscles, but Jie refused him righteously.

"Just a touch, can I please?" Lu Yi wouldn’t give up and even lunged at Jie trying to touch him.

Jie struggled fiercely, "Alright, enough with the touching, I’m going to start charging next time."

Gu Fan couldn’t stand it anymore, "Okay, please stop messing around, let’s think about what to do now."

"Right!" Lu Yi and Jie then separated and sat up straight with a serious look to think, but a minute later, both of them started to drift off again. As expected, they weren’t exactly the contemplative type.

Gu Ling expressed her concerns, "Bro, you’ve gone through a lot of hardships to bring back the space-time door, but will Qian Ye just let it be? She’ll definitely do everything in her power to destroy it."

Hearing this, Lu Yi also became anxious, "That can’t be good, if it causes another big mess that turns this place upside down, who could handle that?"

"Exactly, I don’t want to cause a commotion." This was also Gu Fan’s concern, he knew Qian Ye would not stop there, and feared that the battle with her would continue. The problem now was finding a location for the battlefield that would minimize the impact.

Jie then asked, "So where have you hidden the space-time door now?"

Gu Fan furrowed his brows, thought for a moment, and then said, "I could tell you, but do you really want to know?"

Lu Yi and Jie immediately understood what Gu Fan meant, and they shook their heads in unison, "Please, don’t tell us, we don’t want to know. We would gladly go through fire and water for you, Gu Fan, but we don’t want to become targets. If you tell us, and Qian Ye captures us, she’ll coerce us into revealing it by abducting someone important to us. We would definitely end up spilling the beans."

Gu Fan nodded; he too felt that the fewer people who knew, the better. It prevented the companions from inviting unwanted trouble and increased risk.

"I need time. The longer we can delay, the better," Gu Fan thought anxiously, but there wasn’t much he could do. David had told him that it would take at least three months to complete the failed space-time door based on research data, and that was if he worked on it day and night.

The longer it took, the greater the risk. Gu Fan knew Qian Ye wouldn’t just wait and probably was already taking action.

"Wait a second, with such a great resource at hand, how can I not make use of it?" Gu Fan immediately looked at Xiaoling with a hopeful tone, "Xiaoling, please, you must find Qian Feng and ask her to help us deal with Qian Ye."

On hearing this, Gu Ling was slightly taken aback, then nodded, "Don’t worry, bro. Sister Qian Feng is taking good care of me now, trying to groom me as her successor. I will talk to her."

At this, Jie expressed his concern, "Asking Qian Feng to deal with Qian Ye, won’t there be an issue? Despite Qian Feng always claiming she’ll settle the score with Qian Ye, it’s apparent to everyone that they share a deep sisterly bond. Qian Feng won’t really make things hard for Qian Ye."

Lu Yi also chimed in, "Yeah, it’s already good that Qian Feng isn’t helping Qian Ye, yet you expect her to confront Qian Ye?"

"Indeed, placing our hope in Qian Feng is indeed inappropriate." The more Gu Fan thought about it, the more he felt the need to prepare an alternative, like asking Zhuo Hang. But if Zhuo Hang were alerted to the issue, it would mean more people knew about the existence of the space-time door, which also involved considering the people behind Zhuo Hang.

Afterwards, Gu Fan told Lu Yi and Jie to go back first. He would notify them if he needed help and advised them to be careful.

Once Lu Yi and Jie left, a look of concern appeared in Gu Fan’s eyes. He wasn’t just worried about Qian Ye’s attack but also concerned that the commotion might draw more attention to the space-time door. He knew from past experience that the previous big boss had his empire uprooted because some people were alerted.

This was Gu Fan’s city, meaning he had no way out. He had to hold his ground while keeping the impact to a minimum. But considering Qian Ye’s reckless actions, Gu Fan was really worried.

Seeing where Gu Fan’s concern lay, Gu Ling tried to comfort him, "Alright, bro, don’t worry too much. Since Qian Ye likes this era so much, you might reach an agreement with her to have a time travel visit once in a while, allowing her to enjoy modern life after coming from the ancient times."

Gu Fan shook his head, "Letting an ancient person come to live in the present and then go back to ancient times would definitely affect the past in some way. No one can guarantee the extent of that impact, and whatever the impact, it would be our fault. So, Qian Ye must return to the ancient times, and preferably, her memories of coming here should be erased."

Gu Ling deflated, "This won’t work, that won’t work either, it feels like the situation is getting out of hand. It looks like we’ll have to ask Qian Feng to deal with Qian Ye after all."

Just then, the doorbell rang, interrupting Gu Fan’s train of thought and surprising him.

"Who is it?" Gu Fan opened the door and was stunned at a glance—it was Lin Xi’s parents!
