As soon as Song Fan spoke, she noticed the solemn expressions in the room, giving her a bad feeling.

She looked down at the ring on her hand, which had clearly been cleaned, and touched the earrings, which hadn’t been removed.

Gu Chen knew these pieces of jewelry weren’t hers, but he realized they must be very important to her if she kept them in such conditions. So, when they washed her, they also cleaned the jewelry and put them back on. He figured these must belong to Song Fan’s companions and feared they were now ntos.

Gu Chen’s team had found Sun Yu first. She had run several kiloters, but she wasn’t trained like a soldier and was no match for the rcenaries in terms of skill or weaponry.

When they found Sun Yu, she was barely alive, shot in the leg, chest, and shoulder. When she was carried to Gu Chen, he could hardly believe such a frail woman had dragged herself so far with such injuries.

Sun Yu had no strength to speak, but when she saw Gu Chen, she used her last bit of energy to whisper, “Song Fan…”

Her eyes, full of hope, stared at Gu Chen. She knew he was the leader of these people.

“Song Fan is safe.”

Hearing this, Sun Yu smiled and passed away with her eyes open.

Gu Chen didn’t know what kind of bond these two won had ford, but he could tell Sun Yu and Song Fan were equally important to each other.

“She’s dead, right?” Song Fan asked, twisting the ring on her thumb. Sun Yu’s fingers had been thicker, so she had to wear it on her thumb.

She tried to keep her tone light, “In that situation, an untrained person couldn’t survive. I knew that, always knew.”

It wasn’t until she felt sothing crawling on her face, a tickling sensation, that she realized she was crying.

The expected outco was still so hard to accept.

Gu Chen gently held her hand and comforted her softly, “She didn’t suffer.”

Song Fan nodded but didn’t say anything more. The room fell into a heavy silence.

“Oh right, Big Brother,” Song Fan said, looking up and wiping her eyes hard.

“Sun Yu’s husband needs a third brain surgery. I promised her…” She didn’t finish, as Gu Chen tightened his grip on her hand.

She turned to look at Gu Chen, then at Song Ting, whose eyes avoided hers. She understood, “When did her husband pass?”

Gu Chen tried to speak gently, “The night we brought you back.”

Before returning to the country, he had soone investigate Sun Yu’s background. By the ti they found her husband, he had already died. Both were orphans with no family to arrange the funeral, so Gu Chen had taken care of it.

“I arranged their funeral. They were buried together. When you’re feeling better, I’ll take you to see them.”

Hearing this, Song Fan nodded chanically. She suddenly understood why Sun Yu had said “forget it” at the end. Sun Yu knew that if she died, her husband couldn’t survive either.

The room remained silent, weighed down by grief, until Song Kai burst in, breaking the somber atmosphere.

“Big Brother, Third Brother, guess what?” Song Kai’s voice was low, but with a hint of anxiety.

“Little sister? You’re awake! You’re finally awake!” Seeing Song Fan awake, he pushed Gu Chen aside and hugged Song Fan, crying and sniffling.

“Fourth Brother! You’re pressing on my wound!” Song Fan said, pushing him slightly.

Song Kai jumped back, looking flustered, “I didn’t an to! I’ll call the doctor.”

“I’m kidding. The wound’s on this side. How are you still so gullible?” Song Fan teased, her mood lifting thanks to Song Kai’s antics. “What were you saying? Guess what?”

But Song Kai fell silent, nervously glancing at his brothers.

Song Ting knew whatever he had to say wasn’t good news. “Say it outside.”

“Just say it here. Fourth Brother never has anything serious; it’s always gossip,” Song Fan insisted, not wanting to be kept in the dark.

Song Kai pursed his lips, looking at Song Ting for approval. When Song Ting nodded, he finally said, “The Brown Group announced that Jason died from illness. Also…”

“Died from illness?”
