Chapter 150: Deal


Translator: Dragon Boat Translation      Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


Song Fan was genuinely taken aback by Gu Chen’s proposal. In her mind, someone like Gu Chen seemed destined to live a solitary life until old age.


His usual demeanor suggested an indifference that could never be penetrated, but now he was playfully suggesting marriage to her.


“Are you sick?” Song Fan couldn’t help but ask straightforwardly, knowing full well that Gu Chen wasn’t actually ill. His eyes gave away the jest.


Naturally, Gu Chen wasn’t considering marriage at this particular moment. The internal turmoil within the Gu Family remained unresolved, and the corporation was far from stable. At a time like this, he wished he could split himself in two to handle everything.


Song Fan couldn’t help but roll her eyes, remarking, “There’s a limit to jokes.” Gu Chen offered an apologetic smile. “I’m sorry. I just wanted to lighten the mood. Miss Song, you can name your price for assisting me today.”


Though humor may have been inappropriate given the circumstances, Gu Chen couldn’t help but adopt a more playful demeanor around Song Fan. He felt that even if she were irritated, her reaction was more endearing than her usual icy composure.


Initially, Song Fan was inclined to decline, but she thought of the Tango Fruit that she had searched for a long time. Perhaps the influence and resources of the Gu Family could make it happen. She nodded and said, “Alright, we have a deal!”


With that, Song Fan transitioned into battle mode. Her entire demeanor changed, shedding her usual aloofness and taking on the intensity of a drawn blade, ready to strike at any moment.


The car sped toward the suburbs, and once they arrived, Su Yang promptly exited the vehicle and opened the door for them.


Gu Chen discarded his coat and tie, handing his weapon to Su Yang. “Let’s go.”


Following their lead, Song Fan accompanied them deep into the forest. After an indeterminate period of running, they halted in front of an abandoned building. Observing the decrepit structure, Su Yang grinned and commented,


“Young Master, once we’re inside, we won’t have anything to fear.”


He began searching the wall for something specific, finally locating a switch and activating it with his fingerprint. The floor of the small building rumbled open, revealing a ladder leading underground.


Gu Chen pushed Su Yang down the opening, instructing, “Return to A City through the secret passage and announce that I’ve sustained serious injuries and require medical treatment. Investigate anyone acting suspiciously. Today’s pursuit couldn’t have been orchestrated by a single person.”


Without waiting for Su Yang’s response, he sealed the floor with an audible click, locking Su Yang inside.


It was at that moment that Song Fan gained a profound appreciation for Gu Chen’s capabilities. He was willing to confront such a dire situation alone, fully aware that the slightest mistake could cost him his life.


“I’m not alone,” Gu Chen replied as if he had heard Song Fan’s unspoken thoughts. He looked up at her and continued, “I have Miss Song fighting alongside me.”


Armed with their weapons, the duo ascended to the second floor. Song Fan, dressed in sportswear, took a moment to stretch her muscles before saying, “I really didn’t expect to encounter something like this when I came out for a meal. By the time I go out, I’ll have to ask for more from you.”


Gu Chen responded with a smile, “As long as you want it, and as long as I have it, anything is fine.”


Song Fan felt a hint of awkwardness at his words. She wondered if Gu Chen had ingested something unusual to start using such ambiguous language to tease her from the beginning.


She smiled and retorted, “How about giving me the Gu Corporation?” Gu Chen played along, nodding in agreement. “Sure, as long as you can eliminate my dear second uncle.”


Song Fan shook her head and revealed, “Forget it. Gu Hai can be truly irritating. He actually wants Gu Zhuo to pursue Song Yin, thinking that this will grant him the same support you have.”


As Gu Chen meticulously reloaded every gun, he commented, “If you consider my second uncle clever, he’ll always have some foolish ideas. But, if you underestimate him as foolish, you’ll inevitably fall into his schemes.”


Song Fan reassured him about the situation, stating, “You don’t have to worry about this matter. I can assure you that Gu Zhuo will never marry Song Yin under any circumstances.”


While Song Fan hadn’t interacted much with Gu Zhuo during this time, she had a clear understanding of his character. She knew that he and Gu Hai were not aligned, and he would surely reject any marriage alliance.


Gu Chen agreed, acknowledging, “Indeed, Gu Zhuo is nothing like my second uncle. Sometimes, I even suspect that he’s my second uncle’s son. He’s a child who cherishes his freedom.’


As he spoke, a rare warmth graced Gu Chen’s expression. In the cutthroat world of the Gu Family, where everyone was constantly plotting, his childhood had been marked by a relentless struggle for power. It was only Gu Zhuo who had called him “brother” and shown him kindness..
