However, that person seemed very familiar with her combat techniques. Swiftly turning around, the person pulled back his wrist, blocking the kick that Song Fan aimed at him.

Dressed in loose men’s sportswear, wearing sunglasses and a mask, the person’s face was entirely obscured. Yet, Song Fan’s intuition told her it was a woman. When she grabbed the person’s wrist just now, it felt slender, with smooth skin, and a delicate figure.

Unfortunately, the basement’s lighting was too dim, and Song Fan had just entered, so her eyes were still adjusting. All she could make out was a diamond earring on the person’s left ear.

In a moment of distraction, the person swiftly executed a hand chop on Song Fan’s left shoulder. Song Fan’s left shoulder had been injured a long time ago, but she couldn’t recall how. This had become a weakness for her in fights.

The person didn’t show any mercy, exerting full force. Surprisingly, Song Fan winced in pain and took a step back.

However, the person wasn’t trying to overpower her; instead, they quickly escaped from the basement.

At this point, an alarm sounded. Su Yang struggled to stand and activated the alarm.

Although half of the guards stationed in various positions had come running, Song Fan didn’t follow them. She knew that running out now wouldn’t make sense. The person’s combat skills were comparable to hers, if not stronger. Moreover, the person knew her weaknesses.

Upon taking a deep breath and adjusting her emotions, she walked over, massaging her numb left shoulder. She helped Uncle Zhong up, saying, “Uncle Zhong, are you okay?”

Uncle Zhong waved his hand, squeezing out a few words from between his teeth, “Go, go check on A Li.”

Su Yang opened the basement door with difficulty, only to see A Li’s lifeless body. He exclaimed in panic, “A Li is dead! She, she…”

A Li was sitting on a chair, covered in blood, her clothes soaked. As Song Fan approached, she noticed A Li’s carotid artery had been cut, and two guards were lying unconscious nearby.

Fortunately, the two guards were only knocked unconscious and not killed.

For Song Fan, this scene didn’t evoke a trace of surprise. It was the result she had anticipated. Subconsciously, she knew A Li would be silenced in such a way; it seemed like the woman she had just fought with was accustomed to using this method—a swift and lethal throat cut. However, she couldn’t remember who this person was.

“Miss Song, what should we do now?” Uncle Zhong’s voice trembled. Despite being the old butler of the Gu family, accustomed to various grand scenes, he was somewhat at a loss.

Meanwhile, guards from upstairs rushed down. “Mr. Su, the person has escaped and taken one of our men’s guns. He injured two of our men. What should we do?”

Although the Gu family’s guards were not as skilled as mercenaries, they were all talented individuals carefully selected. The fact that the person managed to escape with such ease indicated that the opponent was also an extraordinary master.

Uncle Zhong and Su Yang looked at Song Fan with some concern. She calmly said, “First, go secure Gu Chen’s room, and seal off the surveillance footage. Then, find two people to carry the two on the ground upstairs. They were just knocked out; check their brains with a CT scan. Get a private doctor to help. And you,” she turned to the guards, “Make sure to call in people who can handle bodies from the Gu family. I will handle the rest.”

The guards didn’t question her words and immediately went into action.

Song Fan continued, “Uncle Zhong, the Gu family should have people capable of handling corpses, right? Call them over. I’ll take care of the rest.”

Massaging her slightly painful shoulder, Song Fan recalled the situation with her recent opponent. When she grabbed the person’s wrist, she exerted a lot of force, and her nails dug into the flesh. There would be an injury, but she might not be able to find this person.

As she turned around, Su Yang noticed a small glint on a wall decoration. Walking over, he discovered a diamond earring. His heart pulsated. To avoid raising suspicion, he clenched his teeth and discreetly pocketed the earring.

Song Fan returned directly to Gu Chen’s room. Fortunately, only one person had come, and there had been no intrusion here.

“What happened?” Gu Chen could already sit up, his face regaining some color, but he looked a bit tired.

Song Fan didn’t hide anything from him, recounting the recent events. Gu

Chen furrowed his brows. “It seems she doesn’t want my life.”

“Exactly, with her skills, she might have succeeded. And it seems I know this person.” Song Fan’s mood was also not good. She rubbed her painful shoulder. “Moreover, she used a familiar technique – a throat cut. I just can’t remember who she is..”
