As he returned to the old house, Zhang Yang seemed very admiring of it, looking here, looking there, touching this and that, and behaving as if he was touched by its scenery. This reminded Gu Fan of the old man from the ancient town, who acted just the same. Gu Fan couldn't understand why everyone seemed bewitched as soon as they entered the old house.
However, Gu Fan was not worried that Zhang Yang would pose a threat tonight. He was confident that he could beat Zhang Yang, and besides, Su Hui and Gu Ling were there to help, giving them the upper hand with both strength and numbers.
Just as Gu Fan was feeling fully confident, he suddenly received two messages. One was from Su Hui, who said that she had work arrangements tonight and wouldn't be coming over.
The second message was from Gu Ling, who planned to stay at Liu Yao's place tonight. In short, she and Liu Yao were currently very close.
