Chapter 159: Gu Chen’s Home

Dragon Boat Translation      Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

When Song Fan woke up, she found herself in an unfamiliar place. She turned her head and saw Gu Chen sitting beside the bed. He noticed she was awake and remarked, “I thought you were planning to sleep until tomorrow morning. Was the nap enough for you?”

Song Fan smiled and replied, “I can sleep at home. Is this where you live?”

As she sat up, Gu Chen reached out to help her and assured her, “This is the Gu

Family’s villa in A City. Just stay here in peace. You’ll be safe.”

Song Fan looked at Gu Chen with surprise. Was he saying this to persuade me to stay?

Gu Chen nodded affirmatively. “You’re right.”

“Never mind. I still have to go to work on Monday. It’s not convenient for me to stay here,” Song Fan declined.

Gu Chen insisted, “I’ll have the driver take you.”

Song Fan stared at Gu Chen for a while as they sat by the bed, locking eyes in a silent standoff. Neither seemed willing to back down.

Upon seeing Gu Chen’s determination, Song Fan sighed and conceded, “If you have any questions, just ask. I don’t have the patience to keep this up.”

Gu Chen gazed at her and replied, “I don’t have any questions for you. I’m just curious about who Asina is.”

He had heard the mercenary utter those words before dying. It was evident that he was referring to Song Fan.

Gu Chen had specifically instructed Su Yang to investigate Asina, and upon seeing the information, he believed that the mercenary had not mistaken her for someone else.

Asina was the legendary leader of the Sky Wolf Mercenary Group, once ranked as the world’s top mercenary. Her reputation was built on completing seemingly impossible missions and taking down any target. She had become a legendary figure in the mercenary world.

One notable mission involved her chasing a civilian armed force in the Golden Triangle. Taking only a dozen or so mercenaries, she vanished into the rainforest. Most believed that she would fail or meet her demise.

However, half a month later, news emerged that all the armed forces had been eliminated. She had achieved fame overnight, and her status remained unchallenged. Yet, after this mission, she disappeared without returning to the mercenary group. Many speculated that she had taken on an exceptionally perilous mission, causing her to go off the grid.

Considering Song Fan’s skills and her extensive knowledge of mercenaries, Gu Chen suspected that the mercenary had not made an error. Song Fan might very well be the same Asina who had vanished.

Thus, he had posed the question to test her and maintained an intense gaze on her, waiting for her response.

However, Song Fan quickly wore a puzzled expression and said, “Asina was a highly renowned mercenary. She accomplished an exceptionally difficult mission back then. Those familiar with the world of mercenaries know about her. Why are you asking about her now? She’s been missing for a long time.”

She said this very casually, without any deliberate avoidance or signs of panic.

Gu Chen began to suspect that he might be overthinking things. Perhaps Song Fan only knew about this particular Asina. After all, the rumors painted Asina as a merciless killing machine, entirely mission-focused and unrelenting, willing to pay any price. Yet, Song Fan had just saved his life.

After seeing Gu Chen lower his head, Song Fan finally breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she reacted quickly and managed to divert his attention from this matter. It seemed she would need to minimize her interactions with mercenaries in the future. Even though she had concealed her face during missions, some people could still recognize her through other means.

As the two of them fell into a thoughtful silence, the door suddenly swung open, and a person rushed into the room, exclaiming, “Cousin, are you okay?”

Due to Gu Zhuo’s close relationship with Gu Chen, and since Gu Chen had no intention of hiding the situation from others, Su Yang did not stop him from entering.

Initially, Gu Zhuo believed that Gu Chen was the only person in the room, but when he looked up, he saw Song Fan on the bed.

“Sister? Why are you here?” Gu Zhuo’s brain seemed to momentarily falter.

He then quickly noticed Song Fan’s pallid face and the bandaged leg. He walked over and asked, “How did you get injured? Were you with Cousin?”

Song Fan felt that explaining the situation in a few words wouldn’t suffice, and she was feeling rather lethargic, so she decided to shift the topic to Gu Chen. “Your cousin was chased earlier and nearly lost his life.”

Only then did Gu Zhuo remember why he had hurried to Gu Chen’s side. He shared, “Cousin, my dad said you were already dead. I was so worried that I rushed over here. Thankfully, you’re fine.”

Gu Chen hadn’t anticipated that Gu Hai would be so convinced of his death. He remarked, “Then let Second Uncle enjoy his happiness for a while. It might be a blow to him if I were to reveal that I’m still alive.’

Understanding the tension between his cousin and his father, Gu Zhuo wisely chose not to pursue the topic further and asked, “Have you dealt with the people who were chasing you?”
