Those Classmates who Suddenly Disappeared-Chapter 1622: A Friend

According to the drone’s positioning, the weapon base is located in the middle of the mountain range, so whichever direction you attack from, the distance is more or less the same.

Gu Fan looked at the map, marked the location of the weapon base and the entrance to the mountain range, and then drew a straight line connecting the two points, which extended out to the other side of the mountain range.

"Okay, this is it. Notify Jie to attack from this position." Gu Fan reasoned that although many mountain roads have been built, the enemy’s vehicles would drive around in these mountain roads, make a loop, and then head to the entrance of the mountain range.

Gu Fan assumed this was the enemy deploying a deception, so they wouldn’t make a big detour, just a minor deviation within a small area.

Since the weapon base is in the middle of the mountain range, and the entrance to the mountain range is on the east side, Gu Fan then ordered Jie to attack from the west side. No matter how much the enemy’s vehicles detour, they would not go as far as the distant west side.

Lu Yi was somewhat worried; if Gu Fan’s guess was wrong and the enemy’s circling was not to deploy a deception but for patrolling, they might actually drive to the distant west side.

Gu Fan had considered this point as well, but there wasn’t a better plan at the moment, so he had to take a gamble and instruct Jie and the troops to proceed with caution.

Two days later, following Gu Fan’s directions, Jie concentrated his forces on the west side of the mountain range and then started climbing, traversing one mountain after another, slowly approaching the weapon base.

If vehicles were to drive from the west side of the mountain range to the middle, it would take at least six hours, but if people were to trek across mountains and ridges, it would take at least three days, even for those who have undergone training, it would still take two days.

The long wait implies that the enemy could have ample time to prepare and transport more things out.

Leng Feng was getting anxious. It was not easy to locate the enemy’s weapon base, and if they could not destroy the enemy’s vital equipment this time, he truly would not be content.

Gu Fan consoled Leng Feng, saying that this is a prolonged struggle that must be approached step by step. Being overly anxious for success could provoke an even worse situation.

Initially, everyone thought Leng Feng would disdain Gu Fan’s advice, but surprisingly, Leng Feng took it to heart and tried to control his own feelings, calming himself down.

Gu Fan immediately took Lu Yi aside and whispered to ask if Lu Yi, in the time he spent with Leng Feng, had ever told him about Gu Fan’s extraordinary experiences and the glorious deeds.

Lu Yi nodded, indicating that he used to often talk about the adventures they experienced together, those seemingly impossible missions, and portrayed Gu Fan as an invincible king in his tales.

With that, Gu Fan was relieved. Every boy wants to believe his father is a figure worthy of admiration. He believed that upon hearing these legendary stories from Lu Yi, Leng Feng must have developed a strong longing for such a father.

During this time, Gu Fan performed remarkably, perfectly matching the image described in Lu Yi’s stories, and this likely stirred up the admiration Leng Feng had for his father, which greatly improved Leng Feng’s attitude towards Gu Fan.

"Good, I’ll keep up the effort." Gu Fan was determined, this time he had to secure the victory no matter what, to help Leng Feng achieve success and establish the image of a great father in Leng Feng’s heart, making him realize that Gu Fan and the man behind the mysterious mask are different; and if there is a difference, it should be treated accordingly.

"Alright, thanks, my friend." Gu Fan was very grateful to Lu Yi, thanked him with a few words, and then sent Lu Yi on his way.

"What the heck, you’re treating me like this?" Lu Yi was somewhat reluctantly leaving, but after only a few steps, Gu Xiaojin pulled him aside.

Gu Xiaojin looked around carefully, acting all secretive, which gave Lu Yi a bad feeling, and he asked, "Xiaojin, what do you want to do? Just to be clear, if you want to pry into things, go ask your dad."

"There are some things that I can’t ask my dad about, so I have to ask you." After saying that, Gu Xiaojin gave Lu Yi a smile, one with somewhat ill intentions, making Lu Yi very nervous, not knowing what trick Gu Xiaojin was up to.

Gu Xiaojin whispered, "Uncle Lu Yi, do you know Lin Xi?"

"This..." Lu Yi’s eyes widened with some panic and he asked back, "How do you know about Lin Xi? Who told you?"

Gu Xiaojin answered, "My dad let it slip by accident, saying something like, the mysterious masked person who could kill Lin Xi could also kill Gu Ling. I got curious at the time and asked my dad who Lin Xi was, and he said Lin Xi was a very good friend of yours who was harmed by the mysterious masked person. It felt to me that by putting Lin Xi and aunt Gu Ling together, this Lin Xi must be not that simple, maybe more than just a friend."

Lu Yi immediately put on an astonished face: "Exactly, Lin Xi is our good friend with whom we’ve shared life and death."

"Really? Since such a good friend, why have I never heard Uncle Lu Yi mention her before?" Gu Xiaojin was somewhat disbelieving, squinting at Lu Yi which made him extremely embarrassed.

Bringing up Lin Xi seemed to trigger the same reaction in both Gu Fan and Lu Yi, further arousing Gu Xiaojin’s suspicion about Lin Xi’s true background.

So Gu Xiaojin continued her curious probing: "By the way, Uncle Lu Yi, what does Lin Xi look like? Is she pretty? As such good friends, you must have a photo together."

"About the photo, we did have one, but so much has happened, times were chaotic, lots of things got lost. When I escaped, I had nothing, not even a change of underwear to bring, do you know what that’s like? For such a long period, you don’t get to bathe, still wearing the same piece of..." Just as Lu Yi was rambling on, reminiscing about the past, Gu Xiaojin interrupted him: "Okay, thank you Uncle Lu Yi for the story, but the rest is not suitable for a young lady, so I’ll refrain from listening, sorry for the interruption."

"What? My story’s only half told, I haven’t even gotten to the exciting part. Don’t you want to know how I figured out a solution? I guarantee it’ll blow your mind. Plus, how is my story not suitable for young ladies?" No matter what Lu Yi said, Gu Xiaojin was determined to leave.

Only when Gu Xiaojin was far away did Lu Yi breathe a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat off his forehead, and silently thanked his wit for making up a story that kept Gu Xiaojin listening, otherwise he might have given himself away.

After that, Lu Yi found Gu Fan and insisted that he must be careful because Gu Xiaojin seemed to have doubts about Lin Xi’s identity.

The odd thing was, at Su Hui’s request, Lu Yi had mentioned many people in front of Gu Xiaojin, but never Lin Xi. freewebnøvel_com

Now Lin Xi suddenly emerged, and turned out to be a very important friend of both Gu Fan and Lu Yi, making it suspicious that nobody had mentioned her before, which was exactly what aroused Gu Xiaojin’s suspicions.
