Song Fan stood over the corpse on the ground, her gaze unwavering. “It’s been a long time since I’ve encountered something like this. Since it’s come to this, no one will have it easy.”

Initially, Song Fan had intended to seek Gu Chen’s assistance. Apart from the base’s explosion, her primary plan had been to escape. After all, as long as Gu Chen returned to A City, the mission would be considered a success, and there was no need to confront these mercenaries. It would be even worse if her true identity were exposed.

However, her anger now burned fiercely. If she didn’t deal with these people, she would never find peace.

Gu Chen pulled her back gently and inquired, “What are you doing?”

“Sending them to meet their maker,” Song Fan replied, raising her head to gaze into the distance.

Due to the gunshot, the mercenaries and even Su Yang, who was stationed in front of the base, began rushing toward their location. He had finally managed to bring his men back, but he hadn’t anticipated that half of the base would be in ruins.

He surveyed the corpses on the ground, fearing that his young master might be among them.

However, the sound of gunfire indicated that the mercenaries’ mission was not yet accomplished. Su Yang pointed toward the distance and said, “Young

Master must be over there.”

Both groups were closing in, but the mercenaries were faster.

Song Fan pushed Gu Chen behind a large tree and advised, “I suggest you hide well for now.”

With that, she began firing at the oncoming mercenaries. Her marksmanship was impeccable, and not one of her shots missed. The lead mercenary crumpled to the ground with a bullet through his head.

The others soon grasped the extent of Song Fan’s prowess and retaliated, but Song Fan seemed to dodge bullets unimaginably. Gu Chen, standing behind the tree, was astounded; this was her true skill.

The mercenaries were similarly dumbfounded; they had never witnessed such bullet-dodging abilities before. It was beyond their comprehension.

Song Fan didn’t give them the chance to react. The Desert Eagle in her hands proved highly effective. Each shot took out a mercenary, her eyes as cold and efficient as a machine. It was as if killing people was as routine as chopping vegetables to her.

Gu Chen joined her in the fight, unable to dodge bullets but showcasing his excellent marksmanship after years of training.

Together, they eliminated more than half of the pursuing mercenaries, moving in perfect harmony as if they were born to fight side by side. They didn’t even need to exchange glances to anticipate each other’s next move.

Mercenary A’s heart bled as he faced them. With the mission failed and so many of his men lost, his army’s status would undoubtedly plummet. Other armies would seize the opportunity to swallow them whole.

With these thoughts, Mercenary A succumbed to despair. He wiped the blood from his face and charged forward. Even if he died today, he was determined to take Gu Chen down with him.

However, Song Fan didn’t give him a chance to shoot. Mercenary A lacked the skills to evade bullets, so he forced himself to aim at Song Fan. Gu Chen stepped in front of her to shield her from the bullets.

Quickly, Song Fan assessed Gu Chen’s wound. Fortunately, it was only on his arm and not life-threatening. She raised her gun and aimed it at Mercenary A, who was still panting. “You can meet your end now.”

Mercenary A noticed the mark on Song Fan’s gun, and his eyes widened.

“Asina.”

Song Fan didn’t expect this person to recognize her and promptly pulled the trigger, ending his life.

At that moment, a whistle sounded, signaling Su Yang’s arrival. Song Fan glanced at Gu Chen and remarked, “What a coincidence.”

Gu Chen, too, felt that Su Yang had arrived somewhat late. If it weren’t for their impressive skills just now, they might not have survived this encounter.

So when Su Yang approached with his men, he saw Gu Chen and Song Fan, both of them with cold expressions, clutching their wounds. He didn’t even want to approach them at that moment.

The individuals he brought along swiftly removed the bodies. Su Yang gathered his resolve and said, “Young Master, I arrived later than I’d hoped.”

Gu Chen acknowledged Su Yang’s efforts and inquired, “Did you notice anything unusual upon returning?”

“Yes,” Su Yang replied quickly, “Gu Hai has already contacted the minority shareholders. Director Zhang has done the same. But it appears that the two of them are not on the same side; they’ve formed two factions.”

Gu Chen snorted disdainfully and commented, “When I was there, Director Zhang would naturally support my second uncle. After all, he had the right to compete with me. But now that I’m not around, he thinks he can contend with my second uncle. Is there anything else?”

Su Yang added, “The overseas company’s account was suddenly frozen, but I’ve already resolved it.”

Gu Chen’s interest was piqued by the word ‘overseas.’ Most of the mercenaries that had previously pursued him hailed from Southeast Asia, but these mercenaries were from overseas. This only deepened his suspicions..
