Hearing Song Fan’s proposal, Brother Chen was somewhat excited, but he didn’t make any demands. He walked forward, placing the purchased medicine on the bedside. “I can’t immediately believe what you’re saying. I need to check some things. Who knows what these big shots think?”
He took out scissors and cut the ropes binding Song Fan’s hands and feet. “You should be able to tend to your wounds yourself. We’ll be right outside the door. If what you’re saying is true, we’ll cooperate. Be smart about it.”
Finally free, Song Fan breathed a sigh of relief. She twisted her arms, gradually adjusting. “Fine.”
She didn’t want to pressure these two too much. If she hadn’t been injured, she could easily control them. However, her leg had been pierced, rendering her left leg useless, possibly infected. Additionally, her arm was swollen, coupled with blood loss and a concussion, and she was barely holding on.
Seeing her weakened state, Brother Chen frowned and asked, “You’re a doctor. What else do you need in this situation?”
“I’ll tell you what to remember.” Song Fan weakly listed the names of some antibiotics, disinfectants, and other medications she needed. Finally, feeling weak, she leaned against the bed.
Brother Chen noted down all the medicines she mentioned and then left the room with Xiao Xu.
Song Fan heard the sound of hammering outside the window and noticed that the door had been locked multiple times. It seemed like she wouldn’t be able to leave anytime soon.
The pain from her wounds kept her alert. Song Fan wasn’t panicking; she had faced more dangerous situations in the wilderness before. From the wavering expressions of the two men earlier, it was clear they were shaken. If “Miss Meng” showed any vulnerabilities, their alliance would surely be shattered, giving her an opportunity.
Meanwhile, Song Ting and Song Kai had arrived at the Gu’s residence to demand answers.
“Mr. Gu, where is my little sister?” Song Ting, just back from an overseas academic conference, was shocked to hear about Song Fan’s disappearance.
“Yeah! I heard there was a gunfight. Is she injured?” Song Kai paced around anxiously in the living room. “Gu Chen, I heard you took her away from the Song Corporation!”
Gu Chen remained silent, and the situation didn’t look promising. The onsite surveillance had been compromised. Gunfire had damaged several cars, and the dashcam footage only captured Song Fan being taken away, but the image was unclear, making it impossible to identify the abductor. Despite dispatching a considerable number of people, there was still no news.
“Gu Chen, why aren’t you saying anything?” Song Kai stepped forward, grabbing Gu Chen’s collar. “I warn you; if something happens to my sister, I won’t let you off!”
The Gu family’s bodyguards and servants quickly surrounded them, and it seemed like a fight was about to break out. Suddenly, someone at the entrance spoke, “Young Master, a woman is acting suspiciously at the villa gate. We’ve already detained her.”
“Is it my sister?” Song Kai rushed to the entrance but was met with an unfamiliar face.
He didn’t recognize her, but Gu Chen did. At this moment, Lan Yue was being supported by two bodyguards, with a few leaves still stuck in her hair, looking disheveled.
Seeing Gu Chen, she struggled against her captors. “Mr. Gu, quickly let them release me! I have information about Miss Song.”
Gu Chen signaled his men to let her go. Lan Yue, now free, shook off the restraints from one of the bodyguards and then took out a laptop. “I know you investigated the surrounding surveillance after the attack. Someone had deleted many recordings beforehand, but luckily, I managed to recover some. This man took away the boss.”
The laptop screen displayed the video of Brother Chen covering Song Fan’s mouth and nose, and Song Kai clenched his fist. “Damn it! How dare they kidnap my sister? Just wait; I’ll skin him alive!”
“Shut up!” Song Ting coldly glanced at Song Kai. Although he was puzzled about the identity of the girl in front of him, it seemed she was on their side, and he didn’t want to interrupt her.
“Boss is so clever, how did she end up with a twin brother like you?” Lan Yue sneered at Song Kai but refrained from further mockery. Her fingers swiftly tapped on the keyboard.
“Boss’s phone was most likely thrown from this bridge, and the signal was interrupted here. The man in the video is Chen Jun. He owns a van. I hacked into the traffic bureau’s system, and the van left the city, probably heading to the nearby villages. However, there’s minimal surveillance there.”
“So the trail went cold?” Song Kai was desperate, paying no mind to Lan Yue’s earlier sarcasm. He just wanted to find Song Fan.
Lan Yue glanced at Song Kai and Song Ting and said with an unfriendly tone,
“Meng Xia transferred a hundred thousand dollars to Chen Jun..”
