Chapter 906: Chapter 906: Confusing Relationships

All the way, Gu Fan’s mind was filled with thoughts of Helen. What was this woman’s deal? Why did she insist on sticking around? Even if she was tasked with surveilling Gu Fan, it was too blatant.

When Gu Fan and Su Hui drove back to the old house and saw the light still on in Helen’s room, both of their brows furrowed, unsure how to coexist under the same roof after the unpleasant events they had just experienced.

As they entered, they saw Helen at the dining table, smiling and greeting Gu Fan and Su Hui, "Hi, you’re back late. You must be starving after the whole night. Come taste my cooking."

Seeing the table laden with food, Gu Fan and Su Hui frowned, wondering what Helen was playing at.

"Although there was a bit of unpleasantness tonight, it wasn’t really my fault. So, I think we can still be friends. And as friends, I want to make up for tonight’s discomfort," Helen said, still smiling as if she was sincere.

Indecipherable, Gu Fan simply couldn’t see through Helen. What was she thinking? Logically speaking, the space-time door had been destroyed, so why wouldn’t Helen leave? What more did she want from Gu Fan?

The Destiny Stone, could it be that Helen had come for the Destiny Stone? Gu Fan looked at Helen with suspicion, indifferent to the delicious feast before him, and said lightly, "Helen, stop acting. From tonight onward, we are still in opposition. It’s impossible for us to become friends. I don’t know why you won’t leave, but I hope everything ends here."

Upon hearing this, Helen’s expression darkened, and then she took a sip of her drink, "It seems I’ve been trying to be nice to someone who doesn’t appreciate it. An apology doesn’t work, so it seems you’re pushing me to other methods."

Seeing Helen’s stern look, ready to get serious, Gu Fan was not fearful at all, "No matter what you try, I can tell you clearly that you’re not welcome here. You can leave now."

Helen snorted, "I’m not leaving, I have the right to stay here."

"What right do you have? This is the Gu family’s house, and you’re not one of the Gus. Even though you have a Chinese name, Gu Wei, there are many people with the surname Gu. You have no blood relation to me..." Gu Fan was adamant, this time prepared to settle things with Helen once and for all.

Helen’s eyebrows furrowed, "Gu Fan, I know you’re upset today, I understand that. But you can’t blame the destruction of the space-time door all on me. I was merely trailing you, not intending to destroy it."

To this, Gu Fan shook his head, "Sorry, I’ve thought it through. I can’t live with someone I can’t trust."

"What kind of trust do you want? Have I harmed you since I moved in? Did I, like Qian Ye, capture Gu Ling, and force you to give up the space-time door?" Helen argued with conviction as if it was the exact truth.

Gu Fan’s expression remained indifferent, "If the space-time door hadn’t been destroyed tonight due to an experimental fault, what would you have done? You would have definitely tried to take it by force, you would have had a conflict with us, I can never forget how you pointed guns at us, threatening us not to make a move."

Helen fell silent, unable to refute, she could only sigh, "Alright, I admit that I was wrong before and harmed the friendship we had started to build. So I wanted to do something to make amends. Everyone makes mistakes, you’ve made them, and so have your friends, right?"

Having heard this, Gu Fan thought about the good deeds Du Jun had done before, but everyone had already put aside their past grievances and got along well.

Su Hui interjected, "That’s right, misunderstandings, conflicts, and disputes can happen between people, and we can forgive each other, but the problem is you at least have to show us a good direction, right? Who knows if one day, for some benefit, you’ll come with Organization X’s people, breaking through the door and pointing a gun at us. Can you make that kind of assurance?"

Helen was silent for a little while before nodding, "Yes, your concerns are very valid. I really can’t make that kind of assurance, but what I can say is as long as I’m here and as long as I have a say, I definitely won’t harm you, but..."

"But you can’t guarantee that you won’t take action when there’s a conflict of interests between us, right?" Gu Fan said solemnly, then added another sentence, "Once you take action, there will be conflict, there will be injuries, so you still can’t make a guarantee."

After thinking it over, Helen said, "Gu Fan, can you give me some time? I’ll find an opportunity to explain everything. By then, I believe that even if you don’t trust me, you won’t send me away."

Hearing this, Gu Fan and Su Hui frowned deeply, wondering where Helen’s confidence came from.

"Alright, I’ve done this with good intentions. Even if you’re angry with me, at least appreciate the hard work I put in for two hours and eat a little bit," Helen said, then winked at Gu Fan before heading upstairs.

However, before leaving, Helen smiled and reminded, "Gu Fan, with your intelligence, and by piecing all that information together, you should have guessed something by now, right? If you’ve guessed it, then you have even more reason not to let me go."

Gu Fan didn’t respond, feeling a flood of emotions in his heart, wondering what exactly Helen’s words meant.

Helen seemed familiar with this old house, almost as if someone had told her some of the house’s little secrets, and Helen had once mentioned her Chinese name was Gu Wei. Could it be that Helen was really a member of the Gu family?

At this moment, Gu Fan was getting edgy. He really wanted to call his father and ask whether, in his younger days, he had ever been involved with a foreign woman.

Gu Ling came downstairs and saw Gu Fan’s troubled expression. She said, "Brother, have you finished talking? Can I say something? I really don’t feel any danger from Sister Helen. On the contrary, she feels very close to me, like the closeness of sisters."

Gu Fan and Su Hui looked at Gu Ling with puzzled eyes. It wasn’t that they doubted Gu Ling’s perceptiveness, rather because they trusted her perception, they found Helen’s identity even more enigmatic.

"Helen, or should I say Gu Wei, what exactly is your relationship with our Gu family?" Gu Fan began to think, listing all the people who had once lived in this old house, starting with the six households, from his generation to his father’s, writing down each person’s name on paper.

Helen and Gu Fan were about the same age, so she should be from his parent’s generation, but as Gu Fan thought it over, his grandfather had only had one child and didn’t have a second child. Gu Fan had no other relatives.

"Could it be..." Gu Fan considered a possibility, but found it somewhat preposterous.
