Overall, Song Fan was quite content with the meal. ‘Future City’ was a game she and Hua Yue had worked hard on, and she was delighted that someone appreciated it.

Furthermore, these people possessed a deep understanding of the game, offering valuable insights that could serve as references for future upgrades. In the end, Song Fan forgot her initial intention to leave early and engaged in an intense discussion with them.

During this interaction, Gu Chen quietly observed Song Fan. Although she was merely a 19-year-old girl, she harbored countless mysteries.

Achieving her level of skill and prowess came at a price, even for a prodigy, as experience played a crucial role in success. It was evident that she had endured unimaginable hardships.

As he gazed at the young girl’s delicate frame, a sense of pity washed over Gu

Chen. If not for the accident, she would have been the eldest daughter of the Song Family.

Song Fan, however, remained oblivious to Gu Chen’s thoughts. After their enjoyable conversation concluded, she prepared to head home. At this point, Qi Shuo, who had briefly left for the restroom, returned with a smile and suggested, “It’s already late. Why don’t you let Gu Chen give you a ride back?”

Song Fan recalled her bicycle and declined, saying, “No need. I rode my bicycle here.”

Qi Shuo’s smile broadened. “Then we’ll escort you to the door.”

After Song Fan departed, Xu Yuan approached Qi Shuo and inquired, “Why didn’t you insist on Song Fan accepting Gu Chen’s ride? You stopped talking after just a few words.”

Qi Shuo playfully scolded Xu Yuan, saying, “What do you understand? Actions speak louder than words. Don’t worry, Miss Song will definitely accept a ride from Gu Chen.

Xu Yuan couldn’t fathom why Qi Shuo was so confident. However, when they reached the door, he suddenly comprehended.

Song Fan stood by her bicycle and remarked, “Why is my tire flat?”

Xu Yuan widened his eyes and glanced at Qi Shuo. Just as he was about to ask if Qi Shuo was responsible, his mouth was covered by Qi Shuo, who whispered, “We’ll discuss it later. Keep quiet for now.”

Xu Yuan had no choice but to remain silent. As Qi Shuo walked over and said,

“Miss Song, you should take Gu Chen’s car back. I’ll fix your bicycle for you.”

Song Fan initially considered walking back but changed her mind upon hearing Qi Shuo’s offer to repair her bicycle. She smiled and said, “That’s great. Not only are the tires flat, but I also need new brakes and a new seat. Additionally, the handlebars are a bit crooked.”

She then cast a knowing glance at Qi Shuo, who understood her unspoken request. In addition to repairing the bicycle, he should replace various components both inside and out. Qi Shuo quickly agreed as he thought of the opportunity for Gu Chen.

As Song Fan entered Gu Chen’s car, Qi Shuo continued to convey his encouragement to Gu Chen through her eyes. However, Gu Chen remained indifferent.

Once the car began moving, Song Fan settled into her seat, planning to digest the recent conversation and update Hua Yue.

At that moment, Gu Chen spoke, “Miss Song, you were sent to the countryside when you were young. May I know exactly where it was.”

“That’s a small place. Mr. Gu may not have heard of it,” she replied vaguely.

Gu Chen regarded her intently. “That place must be full of talented individuals. For Miss Song to acquire such skills, including the fearlessness to take lives…”

Song Fan raised her head to meet his probing gaze, offering a smile as she responded, “I was genuinely frightened back then. It’s just that you didn’t witness it, Mr. Gu.”

Gu Chen understood that she was being evasive and had no intention of revealing the truth. He chose not to press further, merely fixing his gaze on Song Fan’s face. This scrutiny made Song Fan acutely aware of the attention, and she couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable. Gu Chen’s eyes were not only attractive but also conveyed genuine warmth when he looked at someone.

Typically, his cold demeanor wouldn’t allow for such an impression. However, now that his expression had softened and his gaze felt particularly affectionate. This made Song Fan especially self-conscious, to the point where she didn’t realize her own ears had turned red.

Upon observing the change in her ears, Gu Chen immediately concluded that Song Fan still possessed the innocence of a young girl. “Are you shy?” He pretended to be tipsy, as he had been drinking earlier, and asked.

Song Fan turned to face him. “Who’s shy? Quit talking nonsense.”

Gu Chen had intended to say more, but the car suddenly jolted, causing him to lurch forward. He managed to grasp something to steady himself and didn’t tumble onto Song Fan. Nonetheless, the close proximity between them was undeniable. Song Fan hastily extricated herself from his embrace.

In that instant, the partition separating the passenger compartment from the driver’s area was lowered. Su Yang reported anxiously, “Young Master, there are several vehicles outside attacking us.”

Gu Chen’s gaze hardened. “It appears that someone couldn’t tolerate it any longer. Drive to the suburban base. Let them know that there’s a price to pay. Otherwise, they might assume that targeting me is an easy feat..”
