In the end, they couldn’t reach a conclusive decision and treated the matter as a gamble. They placed bets on both Gu Chen and Sunflower.

Su Yang, who happened to be here on business, bumped into this gambling game. Then, he placed money under Gu Chen’s name and said, “I believe in our young master’s ability.”

Unlike Su Yang, who blindly trusted Gu Chen, the others took a more cautious approach when betting. They carefully considered the names they placed their bets on because they weren’t fully aware of Gu Chen’s true capabilities.

Gu Chen was oblivious to the fact that he had become the subject of a gambling game. He was focused on dealing with company matters and later logged into his computer to continue his gaming tasks.

He encountered Song Fan in the game when he entered Mount Gu, he greeted her politely. Song Fan, unaware that Bluesea was Gu Chen, responded respectfully to her equally skilled opponent.

The two of them were here for the same mission, and Song Fan had already completed half of it. Thus, she shared her experience with Gu Chen. Upon seeing Song Fan’s unreserved attitude, Gu Chen felt that she was a good person.

After all, it was almost time for the competition. He was obviously going to be a strong opponent, but Song Fan didn’t have any hostile feelings toward him. It could be seen that this person held a good character within.

Although they didn’t know each other’s true identities, they both found the other person to be amiable and easy to work with.

They added each other as friends to complete missions together, and the news spread throughout the game’s server.

Players in the world channel began to discuss the situation:

[It seems like strong players naturally gravitate toward one another.]

[I recall that Sunflower rejected others who wanted to be friends, but why is

Bluesea an exception?]

[Maybe they know each other in real life.]

[Will they still compete against each other in the competition?] [A competition is a competition. I think they’ll remain opponents.] [It’s unfair to the other contestants if two of them are teamed up.]

[The game assigns opponents randomly. Unless it’s the finals, they probably won’t face each other.]

[They simply added each other as friends, and you’re already saying the competition is unfair. You’re overthinking it.]

Song Fan chose to ignore these comments in the game. Her skills spoke for themselves, and there was no need to engage in arguments.

Gu Chen had the same thought. The two of them diligently completed the mission.

Everything was going smoothly on Song Fan’s side. Meanwhile, in the Song family mansion, Song Yin was curled up in bed, nervously biting her nails. This habit persisted since childhood and surfaced whenever she felt anxious or nervous.

Over the years, she had worked hard to break this habit, often visiting a manicurist to maintain her nails. Consequently, no one knew about this secret habit of hers.

However, recent events had pushed her to the brink of despair, causing her to regress. It seemed like everything was slipping out of her control, and she was spiraling into a state of despair.

As her frustration grew, so did her resentment towards Song Fan. If it weren’t for her sister, she would still be the pampered eldest daughter of the prestigious Song Family. This deep-seated hatred festered within her.

Unable to bear the turmoil any longer, Song Yin defied her mother’s instructions and made a clandestine phone call. “I need you to do something for me. This time, you’ll be rewarded with $200,000,” she said.

To Song Yin, this sum was astronomical. Despite years of savings and financial support from her mother, it was a substantial amount. However, she had witnessed Song Fan’s exceptional skills, and only a professional could match her.

Just then, a servant knocked on Song Yin’s door. She hastily ended the call and asked, “What is it?”

The servant replied, “Miss, the Eldest Young Master requests your presence in the study.”

When Song Yin heard that it was Song Ting, she put on a compliant smile and left her room.

In the study, Song Ting was playing with a fountain pen, a gesture that nearly stole Song Yin’s breath away as she entered.

She vividly recalled that fountain pen. It had been a gift from Song Fan to Song Ting during their childhood. She had spent two years’ worth of her red envelope money to buy it, dragging her little sister along as she selected the perfect gift.

Since Song Fan had poisoned Song Kai, Song Ting had kept the fountain pen. It was unexpected that he would bring it up now.

“Yinyin, I remember when we were kids, you were the one who told us that Song Fan drugged Xiao Kai, right?” Song Ting inquired with a calm demeanor.

Song Yin struggled to maintain her composure and nodded. “Yes, it was me. I witnessed Sister putting something in Fourth Brother’s food..”
