Chapter 95: Chapter 95: Start to Hit People

Time flew by, with a blink of an eye the night went by, and then the day was busy until, unknowingly, it was night again.

The day of departure was approaching, and everyone was truly filled with excitement and tension.

According to the agreement, Du Jun would arrange a car tomorrow, and then everyone would load their luggage and drive to the designated location to meet with Professor Luo and his team.

The unknown tomorrow would arrive after tonight, and no one was more nervous than Gu Fan; his mind was in turmoil. He regretted it a bit because there was no certainty about this trip. He was afraid of leading everyone into a dangerous situation.

However, Lu Yi and Jie were more excited than nervous. In order to experience life, they set up a tent in the old house of Gu Fan.

They planned to try sleeping in it overnight, and then the two boys really fell asleep in the tent, even hugging each other. The scene was so beautiful that Gu Fan was embarrassed to watch.

After Su Hui finished applying for leave, she was full of energy, vitality, and anticipation. It seemed like she couldn’t wait to set off and even wore boxing gloves to play with a punching bag.

By ten o’clock in the evening, Lin Xi returned to her room to sleep early, worrying that staying up late would damage her skin. At the same time, she didn’t forget to remind Gu Fan to sleep early since they had to get up early tomorrow.

Gu Fan replied with a smile, but he had no mood to sleep. He sat on the balcony, gazing at the dark night sky, feeling the chilly night breeze. He was anxious. If he could, he only needed to say one thing, which could prevent this action from happening.

At this time, Su Hui, who was wiping her sweat, walked over. Her black sports vest perfectly outlined her fit figure, and she was still very beautiful without makeup.

"I know what you’re worried about. The pressure was great for me too when I first started working, but at least it shows you’re a responsible person. Otherwise, you wouldn’t worry about this or that." Su Hui’s words offered some relief, and Gu Fan simply smiled and shook his head, "Yes, whether we succeed this time or not is secondary. The most important thing is that everyone can return safely. At least we tried our best."

Su Hui said, "Actually, since twelve classmates have already disappeared, there might not be any danger for Lin Xi anymore. So why are you still obsessed with this issue? The missing students have no blood relation with you. You’re endangering everyone for them. Do you think it’s worth it?"

Gu Fan could only reply with a bitter smile, "Firstly, even though twelve classmates have disappeared, it doesn’t mean Lin Xi is safe now. What if they are still targeting her? To get rid of this matter completely, we can only make use of the information we have and do what we can. Secondly, I have made a vow. As long as Lin Xi is safe, I will definitely find a way to bring our missing classmates back. I can’t break my promise."

"So that’s how you think. It seems I have no choice but to support you then." After saying this, Su Hui went back to open the fridge, then came back and handed a can of beer to Gu Fan, planning to drink and chat at the same time.

Gu Fan spoke again, "To tell you the truth, I never thought of being a hero. But I’m just not pleased that those people behind the scenes are kidnapping our classmates right under our noses, ignoring us, manipulating us. I’m really angry and I really want to haul them out and give them a good beating."

"I understand how you feel. Those people are indeed hateful. That’s one of the reasons why I support you. I really want to beat those bad guys." Su Hui’s words made Gu Fan couldn’t help but smile. She was really a beautiful girl who loved to fight.

"Of course, I never thought of risking my life for those twelve classmates, and I hope no one will be lost from this action. If one day I dream of Zhou Yu, dream of Xia Yue, dream of those missing classmates, at least I can say to them with a clear conscience, ’I’m sorry, I did my best.’" After saying this, Gu Fan let out a deep sigh, then took a swig from his beer with a bitter smile.

Lin Xi couldn’t help but shake her head: "You create too much pressure for yourself, you’re too preoccupied, so you can’t sleep now."

Gu Fan retorted, "What about you, Sister Su? Why aren’t you sleeping yet? Don’t tell me you’re here to keep me company."

"In your dreams!" Su Hui laughed and thumped Gu Fan, then her expression gradually became serious, her eyes narrowed with a hint of caution, "Because I don’t believe everything will be so peaceful before we set off."

"What do you mean, Sister Su?" Gu Fan felt that the atmosphere was wrong, as if something unusual was happening.

Su Hui quietly said, "Long ago, I found that someone was monitoring your house. At that time, I thought I made a misjudgment, that I was being oversensitive, but after so many things happened, I still think I was right."

After hearing this, Gu Fan’s face also became serious: "Twelve students disappeared, it seems like they knew our every move; Sister Su, you were transferred just when you were conducting a crucial investigation; it seems like they could reach anywhere, these people behind the scenes have a big background."

"And that’s not all..." When Su Hui said this, there was a hint of resentment in her eyes. She had previously sought Yuan Cheng, intending to use his identity and background to turn the tide, but to her surprise, Yuan Cheng agreed on the surface but did nothing behind her back.

Su Hui had already made several calls to Yuan Cheng, but he refused to answer – something that had never happened before.

Su Hui’s intuition told her that Yuan Cheng, a man with status and connections, might have encountered some trouble, so he couldn’t assist or even dare to answer Su Hui’s calls.

Yuan Cheng’s father was a high-ranking official in the city government, a man who commanded respect from both political and business circles. His words carried weight in this city, but somehow Yuan Cheng had also fell silent.

Su Hui recollected the warning from her mentor that no matter how powerful one is, there will always be someone more powerful. By the same token, no matter how influential Yuan Cheng is in this city, there will be someone with a deeper connection.

Su Hui truly hoped that the forces capable of silencing Yuan Cheng were not the ones they were up against. Otherwise, not only would there be no hope of victory, they could all end up in a situation with no return.

However, Su Hui decided not to share her worries with Gu Fan, who was already under immense pressure. It just meant that she now had to shoulder a bigger share of the burden.

"Heavenly spirits and earth spirits, please protect us." The only thing that Su Hui could do now was to pray silently. Shortly after, her eyes fixed onto something, turning cold.

Gu Fan also noticed the change in Su Hui, even felt a murderous look from her. To his horror, she flung a beer can then jumped straight off the second-floor balcony.

"Oh my god. You are so gutsy, are you really a woman?" Gu Fan had no idea what Su Hui saw, but it must be something serious. Gu Fan had never attempted something as dangerous before, but he wanted to follow Su Hui’s footsteps.

Taking a deep breath, Gu Fan thought he should not let a woman think less of him. Hence, he climbed over the balcony railing, held onto the edge tightly, and gradually lowered himself to minimize the distance between his feet and the ground. Then, with a release of hands, he leapt down.

The moment his feet hit the ground, it was evident that they absorbed a considerable force. But Gu Fan gritted his teeth and broke into a brisk walk, hoping he could catch up in time.

By the time Gu Fan reached the street, he was dumbfounded. Under the dim street lamp, Su Hui was beating up two men. After a flurry of punches and kicks, she effortlessly toppled the pair of tall, burly men.

Gu Fan knew that while Su Hui was fond of fighting, she wouldn’t attack without reason. She must have had a good reason for doing this. Also, Gu Fan had wanted to go assist, only to find that by the time he got there, it was clear that the two men were too beaten to fight back.

One of the men, shocked, scared, and livid asked, "Why are you hitting us? What have we done to deserve this?"

Su Hui just snorted, "You ask me what you’ve done wrong? Don’t you know?"

The other man raised his voice in defense, "We’ve never met you before. We were just smoking by the street. How did we annoy you?"

Su Hui seemed unimpressed, "How long have you been lingering by the street? Don’t think I didn’t know, you were spying on us. You two are up to no good, of course you deserved to be beaten."

"We did no such thing! Don’t you ramble!" The two men maintained their innocence despite their trembling voices. They did not sound confident. Evidently, they were terrified.

Gu Fan finally understood why Su Hui exploded; she had noticed the suspicious behaviors of these two men and found a target to vent her anger on.

Su Hui said coldly to the two men, "Deny all you want, but tell whoever instructed you that one day we will drag that timid turtle out from the backstage and give him a good beating." With that, Su Hui turned and walked off with the triumphant grace of the victor.

The two men who were furiously beaten by Su Hui stared at her, shocked. Gu Fan simply shrugged, gave a helpless look, and told them, "You heard her. Don’t you dare cross her again. You are lucky this time, otherwise... hehe."

After hearing his words, the two men looked at Gu Fan, clearly confused. Then, without dusting themselves off, they scrambled to their feet and beat a hasty retreat.

Watching the two men flee for their lives, Gu Fan couldn’t help but admire Su Hui’s sharp investigative skills and decisive action. He wondered how he hadn’t thought of the possibility that they were being watched at home.

"Wait a minute. If we were under surveillance the night before the action took place, it means our action is already known to the enemy. Who could this person be...? It’s terrifying to think that they know all our movements..." The thought caused Gu Fan to break out in a cold sweat.
