Chapter 371: Chapter 370: Breaking Out in the Open
After hearing Yiyi’s words, Gu Tingyu’s face was full of solemnity, "It seems this matter is quite difficult."
Even though Elder Guan was born into a farming family, his heroic deeds in courageously killing enemies are known to everyone in the organization. Because of his bravery and combat prowess, he ultimately became the third person in power. So if this matter is related to him, they really have no chance of success.
However, he also thought of Mr. Ding who had informed Yiyi about this matter. Although Mr. Ding’s power is slightly inferior to Elder Guan’s, the heritage of the Ding Family cannot be compared to Elder Guan’s. They are neck and neck in terms of influence, but since this issue arose because of them, naturally he wouldn’t want to trouble Mr. Ding.
Thinking to this point, Gu Tingyu directly looked at Yiyi and said, "Although the situation is problematic, don’t worry. There will always be a solution, and even if Elder Guan had connections with Medicine Valley, we cannot be certain Zhang Li’s backing is indeed Elder Guan. Besides, in Shangjing, Elder Guan’s word isn’t absolute."
Yiyi, hearing Gu Tingyu’s words, couldn’t help but ask.
"Really? What will happen to you all then?"
Since Gu Tingyu and his group were deliberately led to Medicine Valley, it indicated that someone intended to confront their Number One organization. Even if that person isn’t Elder Guan, they must be a powerful figure behind the scenes, so she was genuinely worried for Gu Tingyu and the others.
"Don’t worry, we’ve already returned to Shangjing, so everything will be fine. You really don’t need to worry. Moreover, the entire Gu Family stands behind me; we’re not ones to be easily bullied."
Hearing Gu Tingyu’s assurance made Yiyi feel slightly relieved.
Nevertheless, she kept this matter in mind, and when Yu Qiulan arrived, she planned to visit home. But upon leaving the hospital, she involuntarily thought of Zhang Li and then of Fan Qianshu, eventually deciding to go find Fei Erya.
Meanwhile, Fei Erya was quietly hiding away, watching two figures ahead.
Those two were none other than Fan Qianshu and Zhang Li.
"Qianshu, how could you do that? What does this place us at? If not for you, our mission would have been completed long ago."
Fan Qianshu, unimpressed by Zhang Li’s flustered expression, simply said calmly, "I don’t know what you’re talking about."
"Qianshu, stop denying it. I already know. It was you who led people to bring Gu Tingyu and the others out through the secret passage. Didn’t you consider the consequences? You could potentially lose yourself in it."
Looking at the Zilan Yushu-like man, Zhang Li felt heartbroken; Fan Qianshu used to be aligned with them but now seems completely changed. Ever since he got a girlfriend, his actions have been incomprehensible.
"My affairs are none of your business."
Seeing Fan Qianshu’s indifferent attitude, Zhang Li was shocked and upset.
"Fan Qianshu, I’m also thinking of you. If you betray the organization, it will lead to endless suffering."
"Ha... Haha... that’s the funniest joke I’ve ever heard."
Seeing Fan Qianshu’s reaction, Zhang Li slightly furrowed her brows, asking, "What do you mean by that."
"Do you really think just by completing the mission, I can be fine? Even if I do, I’ll still face endless torment."
Seeing Fan Qianshu’s cold demeanor, Zhang Li suddenly found herself at a loss for words, suspecting there was something she didn’t know about.
"Remember when I got attacked? Do you really think it was the Qin Sect who couldn’t stand me and wanted revenge against me? You’re truly naive."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Li was incredulous, her mouth agape, "You... What do you mean by this."
"Exactly what you think. Someone was dissatisfied that I wasn’t a puppet and wanted to deal with me for being disobedient."
Hearing this, Zhang Li’s eyes widened, "No... That’s impossible."
Fan Qianshu said no more, only adding, "You should leave. There’s nothing left for us to discuss." Saying this, he stopped paying attention to Zhang Li and turned around to leave.
Seeing this, Fei Erya quickly hid around the corner.
She had come to find Fan Qianshu and saw him speaking with Zhang Li. She always suspected their relationship was unusual, so she hid to observe them. Now hearing their conversation, she sensed something amiss.
Fei Erya, thoughtful, watched Fan Qianshu leave and quietly went home, planning to find him the next day.
"Er Ya, you finally came back. If you hadn’t come back, I was thinking of heading home."
Seeing Yiyi, Fei Erya smiled and said, "Yiyi, why are you here today? Come in and sit down."
Yiyi smiled and entered the house with Fei Erya. After sitting down, she asked, "Where did you go earlier? I looked for you all around but didn’t find you."
"I was out on the streets earlier, so you didn’t see me."
Yiyi nodded upon hearing this, then said, "I see."
After chatting for a while, Yiyi mentioned her reason for visiting.
"Earlier, you mentioned that Zhang Li and Fan Qianshu have an unusual relationship. I came specifically to tell you about Zhang Li so you are aware."
In the end, Yiyi told the story about Zhang Li.
Fei Erya was surprised upon hearing it.
"How... How could such a thing happen."
Yiyi shook her head and said, "I’m not clear on the specifics either, but Zhang Li definitely has issues. I realized her relationship with Fan Qianshu is quite deep, so I came to inform you."
Hearing Yiyi’s words, Fei Erya hesitated before saying, "Yiyi, I saw Qianshu and Zhang Li earlier."
Yiyi was taken aback and asked, "Where did you see them?"
Fei Erya didn’t conceal anything and directly narrated the earlier events, concluding with, "Yiyi, they mentioned another mission and ended up arguing. I’m worried Qianshu might be in trouble."
After Fei Erya’s recount, Yiyi was sure Zhang Li is involved and contributed significantly. As for Fan Qianshu, he originally should have been with Zhang Li but for some reason decided to save them.
In short, Fan Qianshu saving them is a fact, and his desire to betray their organization is also true. If that’s the case, it’s quite good; they won’t be at odds with Fan Qianshu, and Er Ya won’t be stuck in an awkward position.
"Don’t worry, Fan Qianshu shouldn’t encounter any trouble. Even if he does, he’ll resolve it."
Fei Erya, slightly relieved by Yiyi’s words, then started chatting with her about other topics.
