Those Classmates who Suddenly Disappeared-Chapter 703: Beating a Dog Once the Door is Shut

The island had risen, the gate was opened, Gu Fan shot a flare into the sky, signaling information to Qian Feng and his companions.

Qian Feng could hardly believe it: "I didn’t think they would actually succeed. It’s incredible... Although I am reluctant to admit it, I can’t help but admire Gu Fan for his accomplishments."

Qian Ying suggested prudence, proposing that the pirates should go first, after all, the pirates had no choice but to cooperate.

Without a second thought, Qian Feng agreed to the proposal, allowing a large number of pirates to land on the island. She claimed that all dangers had been cleared and everyone could safely disembark.

After experiencing so much adversity and witnessing the sacrifices of many, the pirates were frightened and dared not step onto the island.

Enraged, Qian Feng summoned a bolt of lightning and commanded: "All of you get up there now. Whoever retreats will be killed on the spot."

With no other recourse, all the pirates had to brace themselves to get on the island. This included Qiao Ya, Dong Ni, and Su Lei, who initially wanted to escape in the ensuing chaos but ended up being forced onto the island instead.

Remembering the outcomes of previous attempts, Qiao Ya was quite worried. He turned to the three researchers accompanying him and advised, "Once we disembark, you’d better cooperate. Don’t speak, don’t do anything unnecessary."

Su Lei chimed in: "You’ve seen for yourselves, these aren’t good people. If you fall into their hands, you won’t end well."

The three researchers immediately agreed to cooperate. First, they knew that Qiao Ya and his people were capable of silencing them permanently. Second, Qian Feng was terrifying so they didn’t want to fall into her hands.

The consensus was reached. As they neared the island, Qiao Ya anxiously watched his surroundings, not just fearful of the potential dangers on the island but also of being recognized by Gu Fan and his team.

Under Qian Feng’s strong command, all the ships made their way to the island, everyone disembarked, including the boss’s people and Su Hui’s group. Only a few remained to guard the ships and freight.

Gu Ling followed Su Hui, Ouyang Jin, Du Jun, and Qin Jia to the island. Everyone was hoping that Gu Ling would be able to sense danger ahead of time.

But Gu Ling mentioned that she did not sense anything dangerous on the island, reassuring everyone.

Su Hui breathed a slight sigh of relief. With Gu Ling’s word, they were fundamentally reassured. As they approached the island, Su Hui recognized a man standing on the beach and cried out, "That’s Gu Fan!"

"Really, brother!" Gu Ling waved her arms from the ship, jumping for joy.

Unable to contain himself, Du Jun mumbled, "They really made it. They’re fine... They’re really successful."

Gu Fan stood on the beach, ignoring one pirate after another that arrived on the island. His gaze was fixed solely on Su Hui and Gu Ling’s ship.

When Su Hui, Gu Ling, and their team reached the island, more than a hundred pirates had already landed and charged deeper into the island.

Ouyang Jin was the first to disembark and immediately questioned, "Why are you alone? What about the others? Are they okay?"

Gu Fan responded with a smile, "Don’t worry, everyone is safe and resting in a secret base."

"Brother!" Gu Ling ran over in a docile manner.

Su Hui asked, "From your looks, it seems like all the troubles have been solved. Does this mean things can go smoothly from now on?"

"Hopefully!" Gu Fan finished his sentence and glanced at Qian Feng, Qian Xue, Qian Ying, and Ning Qi passing by. There was a hint of hostility in his eyes.

Qian Feng did not react or care, as she and Gu Fan had never been on the same path.

This time, the island was free of fog and blocked by boulders. Everyone easily arrived at the gate. When the pirates saw it, their eyes lit up and they rushed in immediately, hoping to scoop up treasure.

Upon seeing this, Qiao Ya and the others were astounded, "I knew it. Gu Fan and his people came to the Triangle Sea Area with an unusual purpose. I didn’t think they came here specifically for this."

The three researchers were stunned. It took them a while to regain their composure, "Don’t tell me, the place we’ve been searching for all along is here?"

Upon hearing that, Qiao Ya was very curious, "Could it be that the research project you’ve been working on has something to do with this place?"

"Exactly!" The three researchers wanted to say more but were cut short by someone urging them, "Hurry up and go in, don’t block the way. Those female demons are about to arrive."

"Okay, we’re moving right now." With no choice, Qiao Ya and the others had to reluctantly enter through the large gate. However, the three researchers walked briskly and seemed eager to get in.

When Qian Feng arrived at the gate, she marveled, "We have finally arrived. Now the question is who will find what they are looking for first, us or Gu Fan?"

Ning Qi whispered a reminder, "Sister, Gu Fan is very cunning. He raised the island and let us in. Has he already found a way to control the Destiny Stone?"

"Very likely. Otherwise, why would he be so sentimental?" Qian Xue, Qian Ying also expressed their doubts about Gu Fan.

At this moment, Gu Fan walked over, "So how is it, everyone? Resolving this place was not easy, be sure to give me a good review." After that, he ignored Qian Feng and the others, striding confidently into the secret base.

Su Hui, Gu Ling, Ouyang Jin, Du Jun, and Qin Jia also went in, but they remained wary of Qian Feng following them.

Du Jun turned his head back and saw that Qian Feng and the others had also come in. An uneasy feeling started to rise in his heart. He asked, "Gu Fan, why are you being so nice? Couldn’t you have found what you were looking for, then raised the island?"

"If I hadn’t raised the island and let Qian Feng in, I would be worried about you being in danger." Gu Fan finished his sentence and saw puzzlement in everyone’s eyes, as if they didn’t understand what he was talking about.

Gu Fan frowned, "What’s wrong? Why are you all looking at me like this? Weren’t you captured by Qian Feng? I was trying to save you."

Su Hui shook her head, "No, we were perfectly fine all this time. What made you think we were captured or that our lives were threatened by Qian Feng?"

"There’s an artificial intelligence in this secret base. The scene it showed me was..." Suddenly, a chill ran down Gu Fan’s spine as he saw the influx of pirates, the boss’s men, and his own group into the secret base.

Gu Fan realized something. If he were the artificial intelligence guarding this place, apart from exterminating those who infiltrate this place, he would also have to get rid of anyone who knew about it. How to do it? At this point, hadn’t he successfully lured everyone in?

The gate slammed shut, severing all connections with the outside world. Gu Fan felt his heart jump — a classic case of blocking the dog’s retreat after confining it to the house. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
