Those Classmates who Suddenly Disappeared-Chapter 551: The Difficulty is Too Great

"Wait, Gu Fan, you can’t beat Qian Feng and her crew - you need to calm down!" Su Hui held onto Gu Fan tightly, but Gu Fan was so angry he had lost all reason. "I am calm, I know what I need to do - I’m going to slaughter Qian Feng and her ilk."

Seeing Gu Fan in such a state, Su Hui grabbed his arm and pressed him against the wall, saying, "The most urgent task at hand is to ascertain the condition of your parents, to know if their lives are in danger."

Upon hearing this, Gu Fan immediately composed himself. At the same time, Lin Xi called for a doctor.

After a thorough examination, the doctor confirmed that Gu Chuanshan and Mei Fang were not in life-threatening danger. They were in a coma and would continue to be monitored, but they might remain unconscious for a while.

However, the doctor found the situation peculiar and asked, "Did you call me in a hurry because there were signs of the patients waking up?"

Everyone froze before Su Hui briskly replied, "Yes, we thought we saw the patient’s finger twitch, so we called you right away."

The doctor nodded. "If you notice any other changes, let me know." With that, the doctor left.

As soon as the doctor was gone, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. They almost revealed their secret - the patients were unconscious when they were admitted and still were. The doctor might have suspected something if Gu Fan and the others acted more abnormal.

"It’s good that they’re not in critical danger, but that doesn’t mean nothing happened." Gu Fan was still very upset, doing his best to suppress his impulse to charge at the Shennv Xuanhui.

Lin Xi knew what Qian Feng had done through their communication. Apparently, Qian Feng had received information from the boss, knowing where Gu Chuanshan was and that he held vital intelligence. So, she took advantage of Gu Fan’s absence to attack Gu Chuanshan as soon as he awoke.

As for her methods, Qian Feng used her supernatural power to probe Gu Chuanshan’s memories, gathering a lot of information. However, under the influence of the magical power, Gu Chuanshan slipped back into a coma.

Because this time it was magical damage and not physical, Lin Xi couldn’t use the same method to help Gu Chuanshan and Mei Fang recover. All they could do was wait for them to come to on their own.

Thinking of his parents suffering twice, Gu Fan was filled with rage. Su Hui reminded them, "Have you considered why the boss informed Qian Feng and let her attack your uncle and aunt?"

Lin Xi nodded. "The boss is probably worried that if he offends Gu Fan, Gu Fan will come after him and might even ruin his plans. So, he has dragged Qian Feng into it. This way, both the boss and Qian Feng offend Gu Fan. Now, when Gu Fan tries to settle the scores, he’s faced with the huge problem - too many strong enemies."

"The boss really has calculated it all." Gu Fan regained his calm, figuring out the boss’s strategy.

But Gu Ling had a question. "Now Qian Feng knows a lot too, isn’t the boss afraid of having another competitor?"

"Maybe what the boss fears most isn’t Qian Feng’s power, but..." Su Hui trailed off, giving Gu Fan a look.

Looking at the blueprint in his hand and his father’s hastily written notes, Gu Fan made a decision. "Alright, I’m going to find that island. If the boss is scared of me ruining his plans, then I’ll go ruin them."

Su Hui warned, "The boss informed Qian Feng to scare you off, and you’re planning on walking right into the trap?" fгeewёbnoѵel_cσm

Indeed, if Gu Fan went to find the island now, he could possibly encounter the powerful alliance of the boss and Qian Feng. Not only would Gu Fan not be able to right the wrongs done to his parents, he might not even return.

The difficulty was too high, even higher than going to the borderlands or Yuxueyun Mountain, but Gu Fan gritted his teeth and decided to meddle. If the boss hoped Gu Fan would retreat in the face of difficulty, Gu Fan would do just the opposite.

Gu Fan’s reasons were simple. First, the boss and Qian Feng would sooner or later attack the old house. If Gu Fan found the island and the method to control the Destiny Stone before them, he could overcome this crisis. Second, with Gu Chuanshan and Mei Fang in a coma, he had a chance to act. Otherwise, his parents would definitely prevent him from undertaking this risky venture.

"We can’t just sit here and wait for death. I agree with Gu Fan’s view." Su Hui supported Gu Fan, and Lin Xi also nodded.

"Thank you. I will study the materials my father left for me and make a plan." Gu Fan felt encouraged. He decided to take a big gamble.

Gu Ling chimed in at this point, "Are you going on another adventure? Take me with you this time."

Gu Fan firmly refused, "No, it’s too dangerous, and someone needs to stay back and take care of mom and dad. You’re the most suitable candidate."

"What!? Once again leaving me out, that won’t do!" Gu Ling was upset, but Su Hui coaxed her, "Xiaoling, don’t be stubborn. Your brother is doing this for your own good. Besides, someone really does need to stay back and take care of your parents."

"Then, brother, you stay, and I’ll lead the team." Gu Ling’s proposal was promptly rejected by everyone because she had no experience.

At this, Gu Ling was unhappy, "Why not? You all were inexperienced when you first went to the borderlands. Why can you and I cannot?"

To dissuade Gu Ling, Gu Fan made up a reason, "Because I’m the one whose destiny was changed by the Destiny Stone. It was inevitable that I went to the borderlands, found Qianye Country and came back safely. So I must go in search of this island. It’s just fate’s arrangement."

Gu Ling was obviously skeptical, but everyone voted three against one to force Gu Ling to stay.

Gu Fan then said, "Alright, like we did before, let’s start preparing separately. Inform the others as well; if they want to join, they can. If not, I won’t force or blame them. After all, it’s not fair to continually put them in danger. Besides, they might all be interning now, and their future is at stake. I don’t feel right asking them to make such a huge sacrifice for me."

Lin Xi didn’t mind; with her abilities, she could support herself even without a regular job.

And Su Hui also said it was fine. She’d go back and ask for a long vacation, which she believed would be granted given her track record.

Gu Fan was concerned, wondering how to explain to Boss Ding. "Sorry, boss. Even though I haven’t worked here for long and haven’t made major contributions to the company, I need to request a very, very long vacation."
