Song Fan patted his shoulder and suggested, “Then you should think about how to eliminate your second uncle. When the time comes, Gu Zhuo will surely take control of your second uncle’s shares and lead a happy life, free from any company matters.”

Considering Gu Zhuo’s personality, it was likely he wouldn’t even care about the affairs of the Gu Family, let alone the company. He’d likely take the money and indulge in a carefree lifestyle, perhaps not even returning once a year.

Gu Chen couldn’t help but chuckle at Song Fan’s vivid description of the future. If that scenario played out, he truly wouldn’t need to worry about Gu Zhuo’s interference.

Gu Chen had always been strikingly handsome, easily catching the eye of any crowd. However, his icy demeanor had kept others at bay. Now, as he lowered his head and smiled, he became ten times more charming than usual.

Song Fan had seen handsome men before, but she couldn’t help but be momentarily captivated by his smile.

As Song Fan collected her thoughts, she heard footsteps approaching. Swiftly, she reached for the sniper rifle beside her and aimed it at the downstairs door, ready to fire upon any approaching threat.

Gu Chen too adopted a state of alertness. Even when the footsteps ceased, the intruders remained unseen. Song Fan grimaced and commented, “They must be wary of ambushes. These individuals are definitely not your run-of-the-mill killers. At the very least, they have military training.”

Gu Chen remarked, “It appears that my life holds quite some value. My would-be assassin is willing to pay a high price.”

Song Fan closed her eyes and added confidently, “Don’t fret. No matter how valuable they are, they can’t be more expensive than me.”

With that, she pulled the trigger, followed by a pained cry from the forest below. It was clear that she had hit her target.

Gu Chen looked at Song Fan in astonishment. He was aware of her excellent marksmanship, but he hadn’t known she could accurately locate and hit a target based solely on sound.

Recalling Song Fan’s remarkable skills during her retrieval of the Tear of the Ocean from the MD building, combined with her current exceptional marksmanship, Gu Chen was now convinced that Song Fan was far from the simple girl abandoned in the countryside.

Song Fan continued to fire into the forest, prompting the concealed assailants to resort to desperate measures. They hurled a small package toward the building.

“Get down!” Gu Chen urgently shielded Song Fan with his body and tackled her to the floor. Just as they hit the ground, an explosion echoed, sending a scorching shockwave through the building, causing it to shake violently.

Song Fan hadn’t anticipated that these attackers would resort to explosives. In the Country, firearms were prohibited, so their use would undoubtedly draw the attention of law enforcement.

However, she quickly realized that there was no real reason for them to be fear. There hadn’t been any reports of violence at the previous banquet, and with a powerful backing, no one would likely pursue the matter.

Song Fan promptly pushed Gu Chen away and asked, “Are you alright? Are you injured?”

Gu Chen shook his head. “I’m fine.’

Song Fan proceeded to examine his back. The heat from the explosion had burned through his clothing, so she quickly removed his shirt to prevent further discomfort. Gu Chen half-closed his eyes, allowing her to tend to his injuries.

“These people are quite audacious, amassing such a quantity of explosives,” Song Fan remarked as she surveyed their surroundings for a hiding spot. Gu Chen pointed toward a third room and said, “That door leads to the base.”

Song Fan quickly guided him into the room, removing all the weaponry to avoid leaving evidence behind. Gu Chen leaned against her as he reached for the switch, his bare skin pressing against hers. Song Fan averted her gaze instinctively.

Although Song Fan, as a doctor, had seen countless bodies, she now felt a sudden warmth spreading across her cheeks, an unfamiliar sensation.

As Gu Chen activated the secret door, they swiftly entered the base. Once the door closed, they heard sounds from outside. The intruders had made their way to the second floor in search of their target.

Song Fan listened closely to their movements and didn’t realize that she was holding onto Gu Chen. Gu Chen could feel her warm breath against his skin. It sent a tingling sensation through him, which he struggled to suppress, keeping his focus on the situation outside the door.

Song Fan discerned that the intruders were communicating in a foreign language and whispered, “These people are from E Country. They entered the country illegally to assassinate you. Their mission is to bring your body back as proof.’

Gu Chen remained composed. “No wonder they used explosives. It seems they’re aiming to take my life directly.”

He had encountered situations like this countless times over the years. Some sought to capture him alive as leverage, while others aimed to eliminate him outright. He had grown accustomed to it. As long as he was the head of the Gu

Family, such threats would persist..
