Chapter 228: Guarding You

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation      Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Song Fan felt that she should stay to observe his physical condition. She called out to Su Yang, “Do you have a single bed here? Bring me one.”

Su Yang quickly agreed, “I’ll go now.”

Gu Chen didn’t expect her to be willing to stay. He regretted what he had said earlier and thought it was too rash.

But looking at Song Fan’s magnanimous face, it seemed like there was nothing wrong with her staying.

Gu Chen was stunned for a moment, and he finally spoke up, “Your brothers are probably going to be angry, right?”

Song Fan didn’t care. “They don’t know that I came out. Besides, this isn’t a big deal.”

“It’s not a big deal?” Gu Chen tightened his grip on Song Fan’s hand. “Isn’t this a big deal?”

Song Fan broke free and said, “Of course not. I’m the doctor, and you’re the patient. If I stay, it’s the same as a doctor guarding a patient in the hospital.” Upon hearing this explanation, Gu Chen’s expression improved, but he still looked a little gloomy. He asked, “Have you taken in other patients?”

Song Fan finally noticed Gu Chen’s awkwardness and thought of teasing him. She said, “I did that before.’

Gu Chen’s expression turned completely unsightly, and he seemed to have sunk into depression. Although he looked expressionless, Song Fan could tell that he was upset.

In the end, she couldn’t help but laugh. “When I was treating my sister, I was always by her bedside.”

Upon hearing that it was her sister, Gu Chen smiled, but it was fleeting, and he quickly regained his composure.

Song Fan didn’t expect that he could be so easily appeased, as just one sentence was enough to influence his emotions.

Su Yang didn’t think so. In his eyes, the young master was a person who wouldn’t change his expression even if a mountain collapsed in front of him. He rarely showed any emotional fluctuations. Some people had never even seen the young master smile.

Although half of it was because of the medication and painkillers that made his emotions indifferent, the other half was also because he did not want to waste time on it. He had been carrying responsibilities since the day he was born.

Song Fan slept beside Gu Chen, and there was only half a meter between the two of them. Su Yang had specially placed it this way so that they could talk. He quickly left to report this matter to the other young masters.

Song Fan immediately lay down and asked, “Have you found out who ordered the hit on you?”

“No, I haven’t.” Gu Chen shook his head. “The last clue stopped at the overseas forces. I only know that someone offered 200 million to have me killed.”

This number shocked Song Fan. Even the president of a country didn’t have that much money. The person who put the bounty on Gu Chen wanted his life.

“Even if we fail this time, there will be many more attempts on your life. For the sake of these 200 million, mercenaries and assassins can go to great lengths.” Song Fan said worriedly.

She had done this kind of work before, so she knew what these people were thinking. As fugitives, there was no tomorrow. They only had money in their hearts. With money, they would do anything. Even if they knew that this mission might cost them their lives, they would do it regardless of anything.

Only blood and money could make them feel alive. They were no longer living people but slaves of money.

The first thing they did after they got the money was to squander it. No matter what method they used, gambling and playing women was their pastime. Often, they would go bankrupt after that.

However, as long as they continued to accept missions, they would have new money. Money was just a number to them.

Therefore, Song Fan left immediately after she earned enough money. She destroyed all traces of herself and pretended that she had never been a mercenary.

Gu Chen didn’t seem to be too worried. He said calmly, “Even without this 200 million, there are still many people who want me dead. When I was born, I was destined to face all of this.’

Song Fan had also heard of the turbulent history of the Gu Family. These three years had been considered relatively peaceful under Gu Chen’s leadership. Apart from Gu Hail s power struggle, there hadn’t been any major events.

Four or five years ago, the Gu Family was in turmoil. To protect his only son, the head of the Gu Family sent him abroad to study. That was the only way to save him from the disaster that had befallen the Gu Family.

There was a huge explosion during the Gu Family’s ancestral worship ceremony, and two-thirds of the family members lost their lives. Even the head of the Gu Family was paralyzed from the waist down.

After that incident, the Gu Family became embroiled in internal strife, the stock market was impacted, and the stock price plummeted. It wasn’t until Gu Chen returned to the country two years later that the situation began to stabilize.

He took over the chairman position of his father and used strong measures to reorganize the entire group, recovering the previous losses in time..
