Those Classmates who Suddenly Disappeared-Chapter 1632: He and She

After the reconstruction of the Dark City, the tall black city walls stand majestically, and the new Tower of Darkness stands like a towering black pillar between heaven and earth, with an exterior that looks as if it were made of metal.

The entire Dark City is like a metal fortress, giving an impression of being impregnable. This is Gu Fan’s Dark City, built using the ancient Super Civilization.

The helicopter directly entered the Tower of Darkness. Gu Fan stepped down, smiled at the woman coming to greet him.

"You’re back! How did things go?" Li Shi was still radiant, with no trace of time on her, because she could get blue blood from Gu Fan every now and then.

Li Shi is currently Gu Fan’s wife and the mistress of the X Legion, wielding significant power.

Gu Fan took Li Shi’s hand and walked back together, a trace of concern on his face: "I have good news and bad news for you."

Upon hearing this, Li Shi became nervous, because generally, good news and bad news together usually means more bad news.

Gu Fan continued, "The Gu Fan you like used the space-time door to come to this era from the past. He’s here to defeat us and take everything we own now."

"The past you?" Li Shi was somewhat incredulous, thinking it unlikely.

But Gu Fan seemed unconcerned, "I went back to the past and killed Lin Xi right in front of him. Now he’s come to the future to seek revenge on me. I’m starting to understand that saying—this is self-inflicted."

Li Shi was very worried, "What do you plan to do? If your daughter, your son, and the past you team up, can you win?"

"Don’t worry, I won’t lose. Remember, I’m only stronger than before, so I won’t lose to my past self. As for Xiaojin and Xiaofeng, there’s no need to worry, because there’s you." Gu Fan had just spoken when he saw a seven-year-old child running towards them.

"Dad, I just completed the training task you gave me today. I didn’t slack off at all." The child was excited, eagerly awaiting praise.

"Good, worthy of being my son." Gu Fan picked up the child, showing a look of indulgence.

Li Shi watched the father and son laugh and play, feeling as if the three of them were happy, but actually, Li Shi felt something was missing.

Back when Su Hui tried to escape with Gu Xiaojin, Li Shi had stopped her, hoping Su Hui would stay with Gu Fan, because only Su Hui could stop Gu Fan’s madness.

However, Su Hui refused because Gu Fan wouldn’t listen to her anymore; their differences were too great. Su Hui didn’t want to give up on Gu Fan just like that, but the Gu Fan she loved wasn’t the tyrannical, self-centered one.

Su Hui didn’t want Gu Xiaojin living with such a father either, fearing that if she didn’t leave, Gu Xiaojin would be influenced by Gu Fan.

Before leaving, Su Hui entrusted Gu Fan to Li Shi, believing that if anyone could influence Gu Fan, it would be Li Shi. No matter what, the tacit understanding and connection between Li Shi and Gu Fan could bring them closer.

Su Hui hoped Li Shi would not give up on Gu Fan as she had, or else Gu Fan would completely lose his emotions.

These years, Li Shi has always stayed by Gu Fan’s side, playing the role of a close friend, not openly contradicting him, but saying things at the right time that resonated with Gu Fan.

When Gu Fan learned of Su Hui’s passing, he didn’t cry or feel sad, his heart had long buried Su Hui, and he married Li Shi.

Now Li Shi and the child are Gu Fan’s only emotional anchors, and Li Shi doesn’t dare entertain any thoughts of escaping. But she also considers the child, not wanting him to live with such a Gu Fan.

Li Shi now somewhat understands Su Hui’s original motive for leaving Gu Fan. It wasn’t because she stopped loving him but because she had no choice but to let go.

In the current situation, Li Shi can only use her gentleness, understanding, and support to tightly grasp Gu Fan’s last bit of emotion and humanity.

"Xiaotian, your birthday is coming up, you’ll be more like a man. Tell me what gift you want." Gu Fan held his son, smiling happily, even lifting the child high up at times.

Xiaotian was amused and asked for many birthday gifts, all of which Gu Fan fulfilled.

However, when Xiaotian asked if he could take a break because the recent training was too exhausting, Gu Fan’s expression darkened, and he immediately put Xiaotian down.

"My son, Gu Fan’s son, afraid of hardship? Do you know how many enemies I have? Do you know that I can’t protect you all the time? You must become stronger in the shortest time." Gu Fan’s stern look and composed face immediately frightened Xiaotian.

Xiaotian hid behind Li Shi, clutching her skirt, trembling.

Li Shi quickly mediated, "Alright, the child’s still young, fragile in both heart and body. Give him a bit more time, stressing him too much isn’t good."

Upon hearing this, the originally furious Gu Fan restrained himself, snorted, and then left.

Dealing with such a Gu Fan left Li Shi helpless. She wanted to protect Xiaotian but couldn’t go against Gu Fan.

"What should I do? Who can help me?" Li Shi sighed, feeling that being with such a Gu Fan was exhausting, really exhausting. He’s unpredictable, and she had to be cautious with every word.

Honestly, like Su Hui, Li Shi no longer loved this Gu Fan, but she knew her responsibility was significant. She had to stay, unlike Su Hui, who couldn’t communicate with Gu Fan at all. Yet, she hoped to send the child away, to a safe place.

At this moment, a female guard approached, respectfully escorting Li Shi back.

During the walk, the female guard whispered to Li Shi, "Xiaojin asked me to relay a message. If you want to move Xiaotian, she’s willing to take this little brother away, but a plan needs to be devised, requiring your cooperation."

"I understand. I’ll seize the right moment and give you a signal." Although Li Shi said this, a flash of hesitation appeared in her eyes as she considered the risks involved.

How to stage this perfectly, so it seemed Xiaotian was kidnapped and not deliberately sent away by Li Shi.

Deceiving Gu Fan was extremely difficult; a small detail could let him see through it, leading Gu Fan to be utterly disappointed and estranged from Li Shi. Then, Gu Fan’s humanity and emotions would be completely lost.

Thinking about how Gu Fan treated Gu Ling, Li Shi’s fear surged up instantly.
