Dragon Boat Translation      Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Song Fan rarely engaged in unprepared battles. Even when ambushed during a mission, she always had an arsenal of weapons at her disposal. However, in this situation, counterattacking wasn’t a viable option.

She focused on evading the bullets behind her, feeling a sense of déjå vu, reminiscent of her time in the rainforest when she could eliminate threats swiftly and stealthily.

Her heightened senses allowed her to dodge bullets with precision.

It was a skill that surpassed Gu Chen’s, who struggled to keep up. Gu Chen marveled at Song Fan’s immediate reactions, pondering the kind of life she must have led to be in such a state.

Song Fan, absorbed in the urgency of the situation, didn’t notice Gu Chen’s concerned gaze. As they sprinted out of the passenger cabin, a crowd awaited them.

“Boss, should we keep chasing?” asked Mercenary B.

Mercenary A, donning a mask, responded, “Absolutely. Gu Chen’s bounty just doubled again. Let’s not miss this opportunity.”

Excitement coursed through the group, the promise of an augmented bounty enough to secure their financial future. Unyielding, they were determined to eliminate Gu Chen.

While mentally prepared, Song Fan cursed at the relentless pursuit. “They’re not afraid of causing a scene.”

Typically, governments hesitated to escalate matters with such individuals as it often proved futile. Yet, this time, the relentless chase risked collateral damage among the unsuspecting crowd.

Song Fan envisioned potential international repercussions if the situation spiraled out of control.

She skillfully navigated through the buildings, avoiding the crowd to prevent harm to bystanders. The mercenaries, cautious not to harm high-profile targets, refrained from firing excessively.

The chaotic scene facilitated Song Fan’s escape.

Upon adapting to the situation, she discarded the gauze skirt from her gown. Gu Chen, too, shed his blood-stained suit jacket. The pair seamlessly blended into the crowd, their changed attire making identification more challenging.

Upon running ahead, Gu Chen guided Song Fan. “I know where to find them. Follow me.”

Meanwhile, Xiao Lei and Xia Rui enjoyed drinks at the bar. The sudden gunfire prompted them to seek refuge in the mall. They discovered a secluded spot for passengers of their status.

Gu Chen, aware of this hiding place, ushered Song Fan inside. Unlocking the door with a key card, they encountered a surprised Xiao Lei and Xia Rui.

Both of them were covered in blood and in disarray from head to toe. Gu Chen, usually elegant and composed, had disheveled hair and small wounds on his face. It seemed evident that they had just escaped danger.

Their fingers tightly intertwined, even as they collapsed on the ground, as if afraid of losing each other. Xiao Lei suddenly thought, What a pair of desperate lovebirds.

Upon reacting quickly, Xia Rui helped them up and led them to the waterway. “What happened? Isn’t Su Yang with you?”

“Quickly send someone to my cabin; Su Yang is lying inside,” Gu Chen said. “But be careful not to alert those people.”

Xia Rui nodded and immediately dispatched someone. The bodyguards surrounded the four individuals, ready to shoot at any moment.

After downing an entire bottle of water, Song Fan spoke, “These people are after Gu Chen, and the bounty is exceptionally high. They won’t let go easily.

We must make the cruise ship dock; otherwise, we won’t be able to sustain this.”

Xiao Lei reassured her, “Don’t worry. I’ll immediately contact someone for negotiations. I believe the cruise ship won’t continue sailing after such an incident..”
