Gu Chen couldn’t help but laugh upon hearing her suggestion. His smile was so captivating it could melt ice and snow. Song Fan couldn’t help but admire how someone could be so handsome.

It marked the first time Gu Chen had encountered such an astute girl who could consistently anticipate his thoughts. Had they known each other since childhood, they might have become close friends.

“Then let’s go,” Gu Chen said, taking Song Fan’s hand as they entered the banquet hall.

Inside, everyone was engrossed in dancing to the waltz played by the renowned band the Gu Family had hired. However, as soon as Gu Chen and Song Fan appeared, all movement ceased. Those present couldn’t believe their eyes—Gu Chen was holding Song Fan’s hand.

A lady in white gasped and covered her mouth. “Oh, my God, could it be that these two are in a relationship?”

Mrs. Fu was equally thrilled. “They look so compatible.”

Many others in the room shared similar thoughts, but Song Yin was nearly grinding her teeth in envy. She hadn’t expected Song Fan to be with Gu Chen while she was still pursuing Fu Nian.

She thought to herself, “Gu Chen must have been enchanted by Song Fan’s looks. If Song Fan loses her beauty, Gu Chen will surely abandon her.”

These thoughts brought a small measure of satisfaction to Song Yin as she fantasized about being by Gu Chen’s side. Unlike Song Fan, who had spent her childhood in the countryside, she believed she would be more deserving of Gu

Chen.

In the face of the numerous curious gazes, Song Fan remained calm and composed. She even turned to Gu Chen with a jest, saying, “I’m probably shining brighter than any celebrity now.”

Gu Chen replied with a smile, “Miss Song’s beauty is radiant enough.”

Song Fan didn’t react with happiness to this compliment. In her view, she should be lauded for her capabilities, as beauty would eventually fade with time.

Gu Chen held Song Fan’s hand and led her to the second floor. He even took off his suit jacket and draped it over her, displaying remarkable consideration.

Gu Hai couldn’t help but tease, “I’ve never seen Gu Chen be so considerate to anyone. Miss Song is the first.”

Song Fan responded playfully, “This isn’t even remotely considerate. What would be considerate is when he buys me something worth millions.”

Gu Hai was taken aback by Song Fan’s response. It sounded as if she was here for money, leaving him unsure of how to continue the conversation.

Su Yang, on the other hand, concealed his amusement behind a lowered head. He felt like giving Song Fan a thumbs up; finally, someone was capable of making Gu Hai uncomfortable.

Gu Hai secretly held disdain for his nephew’s taste, finding it hard to believe that Gu Chen had taken a liking to someone so brash. However, he surmised that Gu Chen was primarily drawn to Song Fan’s beauty.

Suddenly, a gunshot echoed through the room, jolting everyone. People dropped to the floor, seeking cover. The guard stationed at the door lay lifeless in a pool of blood.

After the guests had recovered from the initial shock, their first instinct was to rush into the backyard. Gunshots could still be heard from outside the front door, indicating that someone was attempting to breach the mansion’s defenses. Song Yin grabbed Song Ting’s hand and joined the crowd, but amidst the chaos, he lost sight of Song Fan.

He spotted Song Kai and urgently shouted, “Go to the second floor and find Song Fan!”

Song Kai nodded and dashed toward the second floor. However, as he reached the top of the stairs, a group of armed people stormed in.

These mercenaries, brandishing firearms, created a menacing presence.

Gu Hails bodyguards had already taken defensive positions and left the scene, with even Su Yang escaping their notice. Now, on the second floor, only the three of them remained as vulnerable targets.

The group of assailants didn’t pursue the departing individuals but instead aimed their weapons squarely at Gu Chen, making it clear that they were there for him.

In the midst of the chaos, Song Fan swiftly pulled Gu Chen down to the ground to evade the incoming bullets. From her handbag, she took out a gun and rapidly loaded it. She took aim at the last remaining mercenary in the group and expertly shot him in the head.

The mercenaries were thrown into disarray by this display of deadly accuracy, which clearly exceeded the capabilities of an ordinary person. Song Kai, lying on the floor nearby, inquired with astonishment, “Why do you have a gun in your hand?”

“I believe Mr. Gu should have a gun in his hand as well,” Song Fan replied.

Gu Chen reached out and opened a cabinet, cleverly concealed as a mural on the wall. Inside, an assortment of firearms was neatly arranged, forming a miniature arsenal.

Song Fan selected two guns and tossed one to Song Kai. “Take it for self-defense. Just shoot after loading it.”

The glint in Song Kai’s eyes betrayed his excitement. It was his first time handling a real firearm, and the sensation was incomparable to that of a replica gun.

With a submachine gun in her hands, Song Fan opened fire. The mercenaries, taken aback by the sudden appearance of such weaponry at a seemingly ordinary banquet, were momentarily caught off guard. However, they quickly regrouped and initiated a counterattack..
