In just a few seconds, Song Fan weighed the pros and cons. Indeed, Gu Chen’s time was limited, and since there was hope of obtaining Snow Red Flower, she couldn’t afford to miss it. However, she couldn’t let Charlie take control of the situation, or she would end up being manipulated by him.
Charlie heard that she was about to set conditions but didn’t mind at all. He immediately nodded, saying, “Of course, go ahead.”
His smile didn’t change, and he seemed even happier. He was curious about the situation when Song Fan and Jason met. Would Jason go insane?
“First, I can’t give you the antidote until Snow Red Flower is in my hands, and I confirm its authenticity. Jason can’t die at my hands. Second, you have to provide me with a sample of the poison.” Ignoring his excitement, Song Fan stated her conditions directly. “Without a sample, I can’t analyze it.”
Since Snow Red Flower is extremely precious, she can’t keep experimenting with it. This is the safest approach.
Charlie frowned. The first condition was acceptable, as he didn’t want Jason to die so quickly. Jason currently held the Brown Group’s largest industry, and he needed to strip him of everything gradually.
However, the second condition involved secrecy. He wasn’t sure if he should provide a fake sample to deceive Song Fan.
Thinking about the future when he would still need Song Fan’s abilities,
Charlie could only say, “The first condition is fine. He indeed can’t die at my hands. However, the second condition is tricky. I can only promise to do my best. Even if I can’t get a sample, I’ll find someone with the same poison. Is that acceptable?”
Hearing his answer, Song Fan already understood most of it. Even if the person who poisoned Gu Chen wasn’t from the Brown family, it must be someone Charlie knew. She naturally knew that such a poison was hard to come by. She nodded, “That’s fine. Let’s wish for a pleasant cooperation.”
When she returned home, it was already early morning. Song Fan felt a bit tired. Dealing with a clever person like Charlie in a battle of wits was not an easy task.
Back at the villa, she found that Meng Xia hadn’t gone to sleep. Instead, she sat in the living room, wearing an angry expression.
“Sister, did you have a good time at the bar?” Meng Xia practically spat out each word, and it was evident that she was extremely angry.
Song Fan couldn’t be bothered to deal with her and wasn’t interested in whether she had hired someone to follow her. At this moment, all she wanted was to go to sleep.
Meng Xia grabbed her, speaking assertively, “You’ve disgraced the face of the Song family. It’s so late, and you’re out with a man at a bar. Do you lack men that much? Why do you have to compete with me for Charlie?”
She took out her phone, shoving the screen in Song Fan’s face. “Don’t think I’m the one following you. People everywhere find you displeasing. All you know is to go out and fool around with men. They’re just playing with you!”
Meng Xia usually carried herself well, rarely showing such agitation. But now, in the early hours of the morning, her voice was a bit louder, waking up the people in the villa.
The servants pretended to be asleep, not daring to wade into the mess. However, Song Yi came out of the bedroom, looking irritated. “What’s all this noise? Why haven’t you two go back to your rooms?”
“Stepdad! Sister has brought shame to the Song family.” Meng Xia hurriedly ran upstairs and opened the webpage she had been looking at. “Look, she went out with Charlie again, this time to a bar, and they were photographed.”
Song Yi looked at the title on the web page with a headache. Song Fan was on the news from time to time, almost catching up to the popularity of female celebrities.

Song Fan opened her phone and saw the pictures online. She wasn’t surprised; in fact, she thought this person wasn’t as good as the private detective from before. The shots made her look shorter, and Charlie’s face wasn’t clearly captured.
But the gossip-hungry netizens were already buzzing in the early morning.
despite the previous misunderstanding being clarified. Although the previous incident was a misunderstanding, besides Song Kai’s identity being clarified, the matters between Song Fan and Gu Chen in the car, as well as the situation with the blond handsome guy, have yet to be cleared up.
However, many people within the Gu Corporation knew about Charlie’s identity. Someone tried to clarify the situation, but Song Fan had already deleted those comments. She had hacked into the website’s backend, blocking any news related to the Brown Group.
After completing all this, she felt in a good mood. She looked at Meng Xia, then at the obviously still asleep Song Yi, and said, “Dad, go back to sleep. Charlie and I went out to discuss cooperation. We’ll sign a contract soon. Don’t worry..”
