Gu Chen asked, “How is he now?”

“He’s stable for the time being after taking my medicine, but I can’t predict how he’ll fare if this situation persists,” Song Fan replied.

After all, dealing with a gunshot wound was beyond Song Fan’s immediate capabilities. They needed to head to the hospital to remove the bullet, and without proper tools and preparation, attempting it onboard was out of the question.

The cabin was in disarray, lacking even a simple knife, let alone proper disinfection equipment. Any oversight could lead to a bacterial infection, a serious concern that had claimed the lives of many mercenaries.

Gu Chen struggled with the decision. “If we leave, can we take him with us?”

Upon shaking her head, Song Fan explained, “I suggest we leave him here. Moving him could worsen his condition due to excessive bleeding.”

To Gu Chen, Su Yang was family, and risking his life wasn’t an option. Ensuring his safety took precedence.

However, the gunfire outside intensified, and escaping the encirclement became imperative. Song Fan made a quick decision, “Let Su Yang stay here alone. If you leave, they’ll likely pursue you, paying no attention to the cabin.

Once you’ve drawn them away, Su Yang will be safe.”

This seemed the most practical solution at the moment. Furthermore, Song Fan lacked the necessary weapons – only having a small handgun – making her vulnerable in a confrontation with the numerous assailants.

Moreover, there was no plan for a cruise in her schedule today, so she left even the explosives at home. Confronting so many people would undoubtedly put her at a disadvantage; no matter how skilled she was, she couldn’t match up against gunfire directly.

“Can’t you conjure up some weapons like you usually do?” Song Fan inquired.

Unfortunately, Gu Chen, not being the owner of the cruise ship, hadn’t made any prior preparations. He shook his head, “I’m not prepared this time either. Once the door opens, just run and don’t worry about me. I’ll lead them away, and then you can come back for Su Yang. I can’t afford to risk anything happening to you.”

From the start, Gu Chen never intended for Song Fan to accompany him on this dangerous mission.

He considered it too perilous for her. Determined to keep her safe, he needed her to stay behind. It was the safest way to ensure Su Yang’s well-being while diverting the attackers’ attention.

However, Song Fan dismissed this suggestion, regarding it as impractical. The attackers were clearly after her life, and letting her guard down wasn’t an option.

If Song Fan didn’t follow Gu Chen, there was a real possibility that he might

not return alive. She vividly remembered their first encounter when Gu Chen was hunted down. It was a close call then, and she couldn’t allow him to face this threat alone.

In a swift move, Song Fan dragged one of the fallen bodyguards inside, smearing his blood on Su Yang’s body. She arranged the scene to look like a fierce gunfight had taken place, with both men tragically succumbing.

She then administered another red pill to Su Yang, explaining its life-preserving properties. “This pill can stimulate a person’s hidden energy, keeping him alive,” she clarified.

After swallowing the pill, Su Yang’s pallor improved noticeably. With the bodyguards outside reaching their limits, Song Fan, holding Gu Chen’s hand, shouted, “Open the door!”

The cabin door swung open instantly, and she rushed out with Gu Chen, firing back at the mercenaries. They aimed to reach the crowded deck where Xiao Lei and Xia Rui awaited, each with their bodyguards.

With determination, Song Fan tied the hem of her dress into a knot and sprinted toward the deck, where the crowd provided cover.

The mercenaries closed in, firing relentlessly in an attempt to prevent Gu Chen from reaching safety.

In a matter of minutes, more bodyguards fell under the hail of bullets. Upon drawing on her mercenary skills, Song Fan managed to keep Gu Chen out of immediate danger.

Yet, when it came to firearms, everyone was on equal footing. A bullet grazed Song Fan’s neck, leaving a deep, bloody mark.

Unfazed, she wiped away the blood, declaring, “From now on, I’ll carry explosives every day and blow these b*stards to pieces!”
