Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Song Fan didn’t pay much attention to what happened next. She had already fulfilled her task of protecting Gu Chen, so she felt that she could leave the Gu Family’s matters to him to handle on his own.
She leaned against a large tree behind her, feeling drained from the recent battle. Now that she knew she was safe, Song Fan wished she could simply fall asleep.
Gu Chen noticed her exhaustion and raised his hand to signal Su Yang to be quiet. He then said, “We’ll discuss this when we get back.”
Afterward, he walked over to the large tree and gently picked Song Fan up. Su Yang’s eyes widened momentarily, but he quickly suppressed any exclamation.
Song Fan didn’t object to being carried. It wasn’t as if this was the first time Gu Chen had hugged her. Plus, she didn’t feel like walking at the moment.
As an excellent secretary, Su Yang knew what needed to be done. He quickly arranged for the car to be parked at the nearest location. By the time Gu Chen carried Song Fan into the car, she had already drifted off to sleep.
“Young Master, should we drop Miss Song off at her home first?” Su Yang inquired.
Gu Chen brushed a strand of hair away from Song Fan’s face and replied, “Go back to the residence in A City and have the doctor on standby.”
Su Yang nodded and promptly instructed the driver to set off. Once the partition was lowered, the car seemed to become two worlds.
Gu Chen gazed at Song Fan’s face and couldn’t resist lightly touching it. The softness of her skin beneath his fingertips stirred his emotions.
After today’s incident, Song Fan held a completely different place in his heart. He couldn’t put into words how he felt now, but one thing was certain was that he didn’t want to see Song Fan get hurt.
The car soon left the suburbs and returned to the Gu Family’s residence in A City. The deceased mercenaries had been discreetly removed and disposed of, as broadcasting their presence on the news would likely incite panic among the public.
Meanwhile, Gu Hai was still wrapped up in his dreams of becoming the head of the family. He believed that Gu Chen had perished during the chase and had begun hinting at the minor shareholders, causing a commotion within the Gu Corporation.
However, Director Zhang’s actions took Gu Hai by surprise. Those who had previously supported him were now switching sides, trying to garner support, and even competing with him for the position of chairman.
At home, Gu Hai muttered in frustration, “He doesn’t even know his own place. How dare he vie with me? I’m a member of the Gu Family.”
Gu Zhuo, who was listening, couldn’t be bothered anymore. He stood up and was about to retreat to his room when Gu Hai stopped him, asking, “How have things been going between you and Song Yin lately? When can I visit the Song Family to propose marriage?”
Gu Zhuo didn’t expect Gu Hai to still remember this matter. He rolled his eyes and replied, “I’m attending school and taking classes. I don’t have time to date.
You should focus on dealing with Director Zhang.”
“What do you know?” Gu Hai replied anxiously. “With the Song Family’s support, Director Zhang’s defeat is assured.”
Gu Zhuo had studied at a business school overseas, so he had a decent understanding of the family’s business. He sneered, “Why do you believe that a marriage can secure their support? The Song Family has their own business interests. They have no obligation to invest their time supporting you.”
“True, the Song Family’s influence may be centered in A City, but our Gu Family holds a prestigious position in Beijing,” Gu Hai confidently stated. “They should naturally choose to align themselves with us.”
Gu Zhuo struggled to comprehend his father’s reasoning. The Song Family was no minor player. Even though their headquarters weren’t in the capital, A City, as the trading hub of Hua Country, held immense significance. The Song Family did not need to rely on the Gu Family.
Gu Zhuo found it challenging to grasp his father’s actions. Their lives were quite comfortable at the moment, and many envied their status. Why did his father insist on stirring up so much trouble?
“Dad, it’s pointless to quarrel with Director Zhang. Gu Chen is the chairman of the Gu Corporation,” Gu Zhuo reminded his father.
He was unaware of Gu Chen’s situation, having returned home to witness Gu Hai berating Director Zhang. He was now attempting to persuade his father to stay calm.
Gu Hai decided not to conceal the truth any longer. He chuckled heartily and declared, “Gu Chen? He’s probably already dead by now.”
This statement filled him with a sense of joy. Finally, he no longer felt oppressed.
Gu Zhuo’s eyes widened with shock as he questioned, “Dad, what do you mean by ‘dead’? What are you trying to say?”
Gu Hai smiled and explained, “Many people have wanted Gu Chen dead. There have been countless attempts on his life every month. Now, someone has finally succeeded.”
Gu Zhuo rushed out of the room. Gu Hai was baffled by his son’s reaction and wondered aloud, “Is this boy ecstatic?” In his view, Gu Zhuo was his son and should naturally support him. Although Gu Zhuo was often rebellious, he believed his son would stand by his side in crucial matters..
