Chapter 1690 - 1690 Someone Following

1690 Someone Following

Fan Shun felt inconceivable looking at Shangguan Hous face.

If memory served him right. Shangguan Hou had worked at Mirage Base for almost two decades.

However, his real face looked exceptionally young.

Shangguan Hou failed to detect the look on Fan Shuns face. He simply said, Thanks for everything. Its time for me to leave. Call me anytime in the future.

It was a promise to return the favor.

Fan Shuns lips moved upwards. He stood up from the chair. Think nothing of it. I will get my men to see you off.

Shangguan Hou paused briefly but did not turn down the offer. Since he already owed Fan Shun a favor, there was no point feeling awkward about it.

I appreciate it.

Before long, Shangguan Hou got into the car and left.

Fan Shun stood on the second-floor balcony and watched mildly as the black car disappeared out of his sight.

Mr. Fan, why did you help Mr. Shangguan? asked the a.s.sistant softly from behind.

Not only did Fan Shun save Shangguan Hou, but he also helped to distract the people looking for Shangguan Hou. This was completely not his style.

Fan Shun finally veered his eyes and turned his head slightly. His profile looked handsome and well-defined.

After some time, he finally replied unhurriedly. I just thought it would be fun to get involved.

The a.s.sistant was puzzled by the response. Since Fan Shun had no intention of explaining further, he did not probe. Shall we send men to follow Mr. Shangguan?

What do you think? Fan Shun glanced at the a.s.sistant mildly.

The a.s.sistant lowered his head and humbly answered. Got it. I will send men to follow him secretly.

Fan Shun turned to leave the room.

Meanwhile, on the other end.

After leaving the region of unrest with Fan Shuns men, the car stopped halfway in the city area.

It was still early in the morning, so the streets were quite empty.

He walked up the road, went up to the car park on the left up ahead, and walked towards an off-road vehicle.

Before long, Shangguan Hou opened the car door and got in.

The man in the drivers seat was wearing sungla.s.ses and his clothes were loose and baggy. The animal tattoos on his neck made him look aggressive. He glanced into the rearview mirror and started the car.

The man said nothing and did not seem curious about Shangguan Hou.

Shangguan Hou seemed accustomed to the mans behavior. After the pain in his chest eased up slightly, he finally asked. Did you bring the stuff?

The man spoke leisurely with his arm placed on the open car window. In the box in front of you.

Shangguan Hou extended his hand to open the compartment. A small box the size of a palm secured by a digital lock could be seen inside.

He took out the box and cut open a small slit in the box and checked its contents. Once he was done, he shut the box.

The mans lips moved upwards slightly seeing this and asked nonchalantly. Are you going back to the base or something?

Shangguan Hou looked sideways outside the car window holding the box. Just as he was about to speak, a voice came from the drivers seat by the side interrupting him.

It seems someone is following us.

The man suddenly reached his hand out of the car window and snapped his fingers provocatively.

In a split second, he floored the gas and the sw.a.n.ky off-road car instantly accelerated.

The moment the car accelerated, Shangguan Hou lunged forward from the momentum before he knew it.

He nearly pa.s.sed out from the pain.
