Those Classmates who Suddenly Disappeared

Chapter 759 - 759 759 Trouble is here

759: Chapter 759 Trouble is here 759: Chapter 759 Trouble is here Just at this moment, Gu Fan arrived.

On seeing Ning Qi talking with Qian Ye, he anxiously ran over, intercepting Ning Qi, and asked, “What a coincidence, meeting you so early in the morning.”

“Yes, quite a coincidence.” Ning Qi tried to appear as natural as possible, then added, “Perhaps it’s destiny, so we met.”

Hearing this, Gu Fan responded skeptically, “Some encounters are indeed due to destiny, some are carefully arranged by others.

I wonder which is your case.”

Ning Qi chuckled softly, “Which do you wish it to be?”

Gu Fan was about to speak when Qian Ye tugged at his sleeve, signaling to not prolong the conversation.

“Alright, regardless of whether it’s destiny or deliberate, see you around.” With that, Gu Fan and Qian Ye left.

After walking some distance, Gu Fan turned to see that Ning Qi hadn’t followed them.

He found it strange, “Why did Ning Qi come to find you?”

Qian Ye shook his head, “I don’t know.

I also find it strange that I bumped into her so early in the morning.

And why did you show up so early as well?”

“I was worried about your living condition and the incident from last night.

Xiaoling informed me about everything, and I was afraid you might have given yourself away.” As Gu Fan finished speaking, he tensed and stared at Qian Ye nervously.

Feeling uncomfortable, Qian Ye retorted, “Why are you staring at me?”

Gu Fan wore a worried expression, “I hope I’m overthinking this, but signs indicate that Qian Feng and the rest might suspect your true identity.”

On hearing this, Qian Ye became tense too, “What should I do?

I do not want Qian Feng to discover my real identity.

She stated that all past grievances would fall on my, Qian Ye’s, head.”

“Relax, if Qian Feng sent Ning Qi early this morning to test you, as long as you haven’t revealed too many flaws, they wouldn’t be sure of your identity for the time being.

Just avoid them afterwards,” Although Gu Fan said this, he knew that one can’t paper over the fire.

Since Qian Feng had suspicions about Lin Xi’s identity, they will undoubtedly probe further.

What to do, what to do.

Gu Fan appeared outwardly calm, but he was anxious.

He didn’t want to reignite the war with Shennv Xuanhui after finally living in peace with them.

To be on the safe side, Gu Fan decided to have Qian Ye stay at his place and repeatedly instructed her not to leave the house or even answer the door.

The situation had become tricky.

Qian Ye agreed to stay at Gu Fan’s house and told Lin Xi’s parents that she would stay at her friend’s house for a few days.

She hoped that by laying low, Qian Feng might lose interest in investigating and peace could be restored.

Currently inside the old house, Gu Fan, Su Hui, Gu Ling, and Qian Ye gathered together, their faces filled with worry.

They had a feeling that something unpleasant was about to happen.

In light of this, Gu Fan suggested that Qian Ye return to the ancient times early.

However, Qian Ye disagreed, believing that she shouldn’t shrink back due to a bit of risk.

She wanted to learn more about this world.

Even if Qian Feng truly discovered that she was the real Qian Ye.

So what?

Perhaps she would forgive Qian Ye like she did with Lin Xi?

While Gu Fan was still insisting on his proposal, he noticed Gu Ling making a silencing gesture and looking very anxious.

“Trouble is here.” Gu Fan and Su Hui both turned their heads, the door had been forcibly pushed open.

And standing outside was none other than Qian Feng, right?

The moment they saw Qian Feng, everyone felt their hearts sink.

They wondered what she was here for, and if she was barging in without knocking, could it be…

Gu Fan was the first to react, asking, “Qian Feng, why didn’t you inform us before coming?

Is something the matter?”

Upon hearing this, Qian Feng managed a slight smile, then stepped in.

Looking around, her gaze eventually settled on Qian Ye.

The corner of her mouth turned up, revealing interest, “Qian Ye, you seem a bit nervous.

What’s wrong?

Are you afraid of me?”

“Not at all, elder sister you’ve said that all past grievances are cleared.

And you’ve also actively worked to prolong my life before.

I’m very grateful,” Qian Ye feigned delight and friendliness.

Nevertheless, her tone of speech was not quite in sync with modern times.

Listening to this, Qian Feng’s expression slightly changed, “But I feel something strange about you recently.

You’ve suddenly regained vitality yet appear to have aged considerably.

It almost made me think you’ve been replaced.”

“How could that be?

Qian Feng, you’re thinking too much,” Gu Fan stood up for Qian Ye, trying to prevent her from revealing more flaws with her words.

But that only fuelled Qian Feng’s suspicion, “It’s strange.

Normally when they see me, the first one to greet me is Qian Ye.

Why are you so proactive today, Gu Fan?”

“Well…” After thinking briefly, Gu Fan found a plausible explanation, “Considering we are no longer enemies, I wanted to try and be friends with you all.

Also, I’m grateful for your help to Lin Xi, and since you are in my home, as a host if I don’t treat you well, it would make me impolite.”

“Really?” Qian Feng looked incredulous, then added, “Yesterday, Qian Ying said she ran into you, Qian Ye, and it seemed like you bear a great hostility towards her, similar to past relationships.”

Qian Ye was about to say something, but was stopped by Gu Fan.

He spoke for her, “That’s because Qian Ying, although she helped, went a bit too far in teaching those bastards a lesson.

Qian Ye doesn’t approve of Qian Ying’s methods, so…”

“Well done, Gu Fan, for finding such an plausible explanation in such a short time.” Looking skeptical, Qian Feng fired another question, “Then today, Ning Qi told me that she flirted a bit with you, Gu Fan, but Qian Ye was not jealous and had absolutely no reaction.

If it were before, she would have glared by now.”

Gu Fan continued to explain, “That’s because Lin Xi has grown more mature over the years.

Ning Qi’s little tricks mean nothing to her, and she trusts our relationship deeply.”

“So how would you explain Qian Ye suddenly looking much older?” Qian Feng questioned forcefully, causing everyone to break out in cold sweat.

Gu Fan quickly thought up a response, “Lin Xi’s health was not so good a while ago as you know, now that she has just recovered, she might look a little haggard.”

After hearing this, Qian Feng looked disdainful, “When Qian Ye was unwell, she still appeared very young.

But now that she’s recovered, she seems to have aged.

Don’t you find this strange?”

Su Hui stepped forward to intervene, “What’s so strange about this?

Some women just mature faster.”

Despite their explanations for all the doubts, Qian Feng remained unconvinced.

She coldly glared at them, “If you said that Qian Ye changed a bit recently, I could understand, but not seeing her for a while, and she has changed so much.

I can’t help but suspect, especially when Qian Ye speaks in a way that eerily resembles the real Qian Ye from the ancient times.”
