Staying in the underground research base with a malfunctioning ventilation system was simply suffocating.
Thankfully Qiao Ya came and provided much needed aid.
Upon reaching her vehicle, Helen discovered that one of the cars had been taken by Gu Fan.
The remaining cars had punctured tires and were really unusable, leaving Helen absolutely furious.
When Helen returned to the warehouse, Dong Ni and the others had crawled out of the elevator.
Many of them were injured, making their placement a problematic issue.
Qiao Ya counted them: there were actually eight people unable to move from injuries.
Gu Fan, it seems, had escaped without a scratch.
Qiao Ya didn’t say anything, but he could sense Helen’s displeasure.
Dong Ni collapsed onto the ground, panting heavily: “That bastard Gu Fan.
If I catch him, I won’t let him off easily.”
Qiao Ya said: “Immediately notify the organization to monitor Gu Fan’s movements.
If I’m not mistaken, he’ll definitely go find Su Hui and David.
Considering they moved so many things, they can’t be in a small car.
It’s likely a sizable truck they’re in.”
Upon hearing this, Helen agreed that it made sense.
She let Qiao Ya take charge while she calmed down.
Seeing Helen walk out, Dong Ni pulled Qiao Ya aside and quietly grumbled, “What do we do?
This madame is angry.
Will she blame this failure on us?”
In response, Qiao Ya didn’t seem optimistic: “It’s hard to say.
You know how temperamental she is.
She’s very competitive and this failure surely upset her.
If the organization investigates, we don’t know what will happen.
We may very well end up being scapegoats.”
Dong Ni sighed: “I don’t get why the organization puts up with her.
Her background isn’t particularly strong.
I heard that her grandfather doesn’t hold a high position in the organization.
Moreover, he’s an outsider, an Easterner.”
Qiao Ya then explains: “Firstly, her grandfather does have some influence.
Secondly, the real wildcard is her grandmother.
If not for her grandmother, her grandfather wouldn’t have been able to establish a foothold in the organization.”
Dong Ni added: “I heard that some people in the organization have long wanted to kick her grandfather out, but due to his wife’s reputation, they haven’t taken any action.
If they use Helen’s failure as an excuse…”
Qiao Ya gestured Dong Ni to hush, intimating that the affairs of the organization were too intricate for them to discuss.

Three hours later, Gu Fan drove to the designated location, delighted to see that Su Hui and David had already been waiting there.
Su Hui took a glance at Gu Fan and he, in turn, looked at her.
They simultaneously broke into an appreciative laugh.
David swung his gaze between Su Hui and Gu Fan, suddenly filled with a sense of being unnecessary.
He contemplated whether to leave, raising this with them: “If you two feel I’m in the way, I’d understand.
I’ll disappear immediately.”
Hearing this, Gu Fan and Su Hui felt awkward.
Gu Fan swiftly changed the topic: “Alright, let’s quickly get to a secure place.
I just contacted Du Jun.
He will need some more time, since his father’s company has no business here and can’t bring a boat in without justification.”
Su Hui also worried: “Foreign ships that are permitted entry require a lot of documentation and approval time.
I’m afraid we won’t be able to wait.”
Gu Fan added: “Now, we have one advantage.
They don’t know what car we’re driving.
Let’s use that, stick to small roads, and avoid their radar.”
“Agreed, but I’m still worried…” Given his experiences about the prowess of Organization X, David was concerned that with passage of time, they still would be found.
After giving it considerable thought, Gu Fan glanced at their truck and the car stolen from Helen.
He smiled as he looked at the map.
Seeing Gu Fan looking pleased, Su Hui immediately urged him to reveal his plan.
Gu Fan pointed to an intersection on the map and shared his plan.
He intended to drive the vehicle to that location.
They had to avoid traffic cameras on the way to not be detected.
Once there, he would abandon the vehicle and leave it to its fate.
Su Hui realized the idea: If someone sees a car parked with no one inside and the key still in the ignition, they are highly likely to just take the car.
Gu Fan nodded: “Exactly.
This vehicle, I took it from them.
They will surely be tracking it.
Once they realize, after a long chase, that the person they’re after isn’t the one they have been pursuing, they will be livid.
Then, they will be left to inquire where the vehicle was found.”
“You park the car at the intersection, Organization X will indeed deduce your direction based on the location where you parked.
However, they won’t anticipate your misdirection.
Instead of continuing from the intersection, you will backtrack to another location.” Su Hui’s words made Gu Fan chuckle and nod with agreement.
That sense of rapport felt like a strong pillar of support.
Upon understanding Gu Fan’s plan, David found it feasible.
In addition to plotting their escape route, they also had to mislead their enemy to track in another direction.
If the plan succeeded, it would certainly delay the time of their discovery by Organization X.
No one opposed the plan, so they immediately sprang into action.
Gu Fan, Su Hui, and David didn’t waste time resting and headed towards the intersection on the map.
While on the way, in the truck, David glanced at Su Hui: “You must have been through a lot.
The incident in the Triangle Sea Area was enough for me to believe that you guys are extraordinary.
Now, you’re matching wits with Organization X.
I can’t believe Gu Fan made it out.
I want to know what your roles were before all this.”
To this, Su Hui offered a faint smile: “David, you are better off not knowing.
The more you know, the more I fear you’d get implicated.
Our opponents are not just Organization X, but there is a far more dangerous one as well.”
David furrowed his brow, he also felt it was best to keep a distance from these people.
He remembered something: “You said you have opponents other than Organization X.
Who else is there?
Are you referring to the person who looks exactly like Lin Xi?
Do you know where she is now?”
“Right, Qian Ye has also come to this place.
Yet there hasn’t been any activity from her.
Where could she be?” For some reason, Su Hui began to break out in a cold sweat.
She and Gu Fan had been busy dealing with Organization X and had forgotten to be wary of Qian Ye.
If Qian Ye found out about their plan to recreate the space-time door, things could get even more heated here.
