The researcher, named David, clenched his shaking hands on the steering wheel. He occasionally glared at Gu Fan and Su Hui, as if he was on guard against an attack.
When the car reached a junction and got stuck in traffic due to many vehicles queuing for inspection, Su Hui became worried, fearing that the inspectors were in collusion with Organization X. She urged David to drive towards another direction.
Doubts surfaced in David's mind after they avoided the law enforcement officers inspecting the vehicles, making him feel Gu Fan and Su Hui were even more suspicious.
At that moment, Gu Fan patted David's shoulder, saying, "I don't have time to explain now. If you trust what we experienced together in the Triangle Sea Area, take me to a safe place."
After pondering for a bit, David drove into a lane and then onto another highway.
Moments later, the car pulled into a building with a courtyard. It was David's home. He opened the door and ushered Gu Fan and Su Hui inside.
