The guests were frightened when they heard the deafening sound. They had not expected to encounter such a situation when they came to attend the banquet. If it weren’t for the electric fence behind the house, they might have fled long ago.
However, at this moment, they could only hide in the garden, trembling with fear, afraid that the mercenaries might chase after them.
Song Yin was pulled by Mrs. Fu and took cover behind the wisteria rack. She could hear the tumultuous sounds growing louder and more chaotic from inside. The people inside had launched a counterattack, and it seemed highly unlikely that they would survive. It appeared that Song Fan would be killed without having her take any action.
As she thought of this, she couldn’t help but smile. Fu Nian looked at her expression in disbelief, wondering how Song Yin could still smile in such dire circumstances.
He asked, “Yinyin, aren’t you worried about Big Brother Song inside?”
Song Yin quickly put on a worried expression and replied, “I tried to stop him from going, but he didn’t listen to me at all.”
This response was even more baffling. Song Kai and Song Fan were also inside, yet Song Yin didn’t appear to be concerned about them at all.
Just as Fu Nian was about to continue asking, he saw Song Fan and the others running out of the house. Everyone was surprised that they had managed to escape.
Song Yin, in particular, couldn’t believe her eyes. She was astonished that Song Fan had survived such a dangerous situation.
Struggling to control her emotions, Song Yin quickly feigned concern and rushed to Song Ting, pretending to be distressed. “Big Brother, you scared me to death just now.”
Mrs. Fu approached Song Fan with concern and asked, “Child, are you alright?”
Having known Mrs. Fu since she was young, Song Fan smiled warmly and reassured her, “I’m fine. Don’t worry.”
Fu Nian wanted to express his concern but found that before he could approach, Song Fan had turned to look for Gu Chen. Slightly disappointed, he returned his attention to Mrs. Fu.
Meanwhile, several helicopters appeared in the sky and landed on the lawn. Fully armed special forces soldiers surrounded the banquet hall, their weapons at the ready. Su Yang rushed to assist them in opening the bulletproof glass.
With the military’s arrival, the battle was officially over, and the remaining mercenaries were apprehended.
Gu Chen’s suit jacket was discarded during the chaos and lay on the ground. He stood confidently by a tree, making a phone call while catching the attention of many young ladies who blushed in his presence.
After ending his call, Song Fan couldn’t help but ask, “Did you anticipate today’s events?”
Gu Chen, wearing a faint smile, replied, “Why do you think so?”
Song Fan raised an eyebrow. “The weapons used were top-of-the-line. They couldn’t have been added recently.”
Gu Chen crossed his arms and casually responded, “Isn’t it normal for the weapons in the house to be regularly updated?”
“You can say that, but your reaction is too calm. It’s as if you’ve rehearsed this matter countless times in your heart. Moreover, when Gu Hai disappeared, your expression wasn’t surprising at all. From the open and secret struggles between you and him over the years, today should be a trap,” Song Fan stated confidently.
Gu Chen hadn’t expected Song Fan to possess such insight, deducing the entire situation from his reactions. He found himself increasingly admiring Song Fan.
With a cold laugh, Song Fan added, “Your family’s matters have nothing to do with me, but I hope that I won’t get involved next time.”
After having said that, she turned and walked away, leaving only her retreating figure for Gu Chen. Su Yang approached and inquired, “Young Master, is Miss Song upset?”
Gu Chen smiled and replied, “The little wild cat has extended its claws, but it’s not angry.”
Su Yang was taken aback when he witnessed Gu Chen’s smile. He couldn’t help but be surprised at the rare occurrence; the number of times Young Master had smiled today exceeded the total for an entire year.
After Gu Chen’s laughter subsided, he instructed, “Those people were all brought by my second uncle. Ensure they don’t die immediately. We need them alive to provide information to the police.”
Su Yang nodded in acknowledgment. “Understood.”
Upon seeing Song Fan approaching, Song Kai eagerly approached her. “Your moves just now were incredibly cool. Can you teach me sometime?”
Song Fan teased, “If you address me as ‘master,’ I might consider it.”
Song Kai couldn’t accept it and responded, “I’m your brother. It would be too strange to address you that way.”
Song Fan shook her head. “Then I don’t have time to teach you.”
Song Kai, feeling a bit anxious, grabbed her arm and tried to persuade her. He was torn between addressing her as “Master” or not. In the midst of this, Song Yin approached and expressed her concern. “Fourth Brother, I was so worried just now. Are you hurt?”
Song Kai scratched his head, responding, “No, I’m okay. Check if there are any wounds on my body.”
Song Yin, however, couldn’t resist a hint of sarcasm. “That’s good. If you hadn’t gone to look for Sister, you wouldn’t have been trapped inside.”
Song Fan couldn’t help but sigh internally at the continued sarcasm from Song Yin.. Does she have any new tricks?
