Dragon Boat Translation      Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Song Fan had never expected to find herself in such a situation. While her first encounter with Gu Chen had been during a pursuit, it didn’t mean she had wished for such experiences to continue.

Gu Chen swiftly fastened his seatbelt and then helped Song Fan with hers. “It seems I won’t be able to take you home right now, Miss Song. Please accompany me for a while.”

Song Fan sneered, “I hope this isn’t too much trouble.”

As she spoke, she placed her backpack protectively in front of her chest, containing her Desert Eagle. If things took a turn for the worse, she’d be ready to defend herself at a moment’s notice. This was precisely why Song Fan had opted to use a bicycle for transportation – carrying her firearm on the subway was risky, and she didn’t want to be flagged by security.

Gu Chen lowered his head and retrieved a large box from beneath his seat, revealing several guns and rounds of ammunition. Song Fan couldn’t help but be impressed by his ability to stash weapons in so many places.

Recalling how Gu Chen had pulled out a firearm during a previous banquet, she considered that she could likely make a considerable fortune by selling her firearms to the Gu Family due to their high demand.

Gu Chen then extracted one of the guns, loaded it, and handed it to Song Fan. “Miss Song, consider it for self-defense. I still remember your exceptional marksmanship.”

Song Fan glanced at the offered weapon and replied, “No need. I have my gun in my bag.”

This revelation took Gu Chen by surprise. After all, Song Fan had merely accepted an invitation to a dinner, and yet she had brought a firearm. Her vigilance was genuinely admirable.

Song Fan’s habit of carrying weapons had persisted from her time as a mercenary, when the threat of death was ever-present. She even slept with a gun in hand, ready to react to any disturbance by immediately leaping up and aiming at the source.

Back then, Song Fan had transformed into something more akin to a killing machine than a living person. Her daily existence was marked by aiming and pulling the trigger.

The car sped along the road, with the pursuing vehicles attempting to collide with it. Su Yang made a sharp turn, leaving them behind in the suburban area.

Those trailing cars could do little more than try to catch up. A man inside one of the vehicles remarked, “This car’s no joke, but it’s nothing but suicide to go to the suburbs.”

While they needed to be cautious of attracting attention in the city, the suburbs offered the advantage of anonymity. Even if someone were killed, there was little chance of witnesses.

These people were determined to crush Gu Chen, the head of the Gu Corporation and owner of the Gu Family. They held a particular hatred for individuals like him.

Amidst this chaos, Gu Chen sifted through his weapons, unsatisfied with each one. Finally, he retrieved a large box from behind his seat, filled with submachine guns.

Song Fan was taken aback. “How many people exactly want you to be dead, and make you prepare so many weapons readily available?”

“A lot. On average, something like this happens at least once a month,” Gu Chen replied calmly.

As the car continued to pick up speed, Song Fan inquired, “Do you have people at the suburban base?”

Gu Chen explained, “The base is just a hiding place. It contains weapons and

defensive facilities.”

Song Fan was taken aback by this response and furrowed her brow. “There are several cars chasing you outside, likely with quite a few people on board. You intend to lure them to the suburbs for a confrontation?”

To Song Fan, this seemed like an unnecessary risk. However, Gu Chen smiled and explained, “I have to do this. I want those who covet my position to understand how far I’m willing to go for the Gu Family. This isn’t a war; it’s a strategic move.”

Song Fan grasped Gu Chen’s intention. He wasn’t concerned about potential injuries today; rather, he aimed to show those who coveted his position the extent of his dedication to protecting the Gu Family. Staying in hiding would only encourage more attacks.

These individuals were driven by their greed for power and wealth. They couldn’t fathom someone who disregarded everything, so this was the only way to temporarily intimidate them and secure a brief respite for Gu Chen. Gu Chen gazed at Song Fan and said, “I hope Miss Song can assist me.” “Why should I help you?” Song Fan asked, her reluctance to become involved evident.

Gu Chen smiled and responded, “Because, in their eyes, Miss Song is already my fiancée. They believe you’re expecting.”

Song Fan scoffed, “I can’t accept that as a reason.”

Just as she thought Gu Chen was trying to coerce her, he suddenly took her hand. “Then I swear right here, as long as I escape from this situation, I will officially propose marriage to the Song Family.. Will that satisfy Miss Song?”
