Chapter 549: Rescue
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
When Song Huai received the information abroad, he immediately attempted a trace-back but couldn’t find any details about the source. He had no choice but to contact Song Fan. Initially, he thought it might be a prank, but it turned out to be a real situation.
“Little sister, I have a few friends in the capital who can help investigate. Wait for my message,” Song Huai said hurriedly before hanging up.
Since he couldn’t return to the country in time, he had to rely on his friends in the capital. Despite Summer Yu’s efforts to keep a low profile, people who knew him were able to locate his private laboratory.
When Song Fan received the information, she immediately set off with Sun Zhi and Sun Gao.
Summer Yu had always been a trusted assistant of Peter. Besides having a large house in the capital, he also had a courtyard house in the suburbs, which served as his secret base.
Because the surrounding residents were mostly elderly or migrant workers, no one paid much attention to the dilapidated courtyard. Moreover, the old district lacked comprehensive surveillance systems, making it difficult for Song Fan to find any relevant information.
At that moment, Song Kai had already been injected with drugs and lay drowsily on the ground. Occasionally regaining consciousness, he understood his situation but lacked the strength to escape or even figure out where to go.
The door opened, and Summer Yu entered. He didn’t wear a mask, clearly not intending to let Song Kai live.
Seeing that it was already night with a full moon hanging in the sky, Song Kai felt a wave of sadness, thinking he might die alone here.
Suddenly, Song Kai heard footsteps. It seemed his senses were heightened after being drugged, and he could hear the slightest movements around him. The footsteps sounded familiar, almost like Song Fan’s.
Perhaps it was a twin connection. Just as Song Fan kicked open the door, Song Kai mustered his strength and threw himself at Summer Yu.
Summer Yu had believed the dose of anesthetic he had given Song Kai was sufficient, so Song Kai’s sudden outburst caught him off guard.
With Song Fan kicking the door open and directly striking his back, Summer Yu had no choice but to take the blow.
However, having been by Peter’s side for many years, Summer Yu was no easy opponent. Seeing three people on Song Fan’s side, he quickly grabbed Song Kai, pressing a scalpel to his carotid artery.
“Miss Song, as a doctor, you should know the importance of an artery,” Summer Yu spat blood, acknowledging Song Fan’s fierce kick.
Song Fan raised her hand, signaling Sun Zhi and Sun Gao to hold their positions while she stared intently at Summer Yu. “You should know you have no way out now.”
“Of course, I’ve known I had no way out since I was a child,” Summer Yu laughed bitterly.
In his village, everyone dealt drugs or used them. His survival and chance to study medicine were solely due to his intelligence and loyalty to the Brown family.
Few children his age had survived, and he had fought to reach his current position. Unfortunately, he had no one left to care for.
Had it not been for Ruan Xin’s pregnancy, he would have lived a hedonistic life for a few more years, given the amount of money Peter had provided. Unfortunately, he now had a weakness—an unborn child in the belly of a malicious woman.
The metallic taste of blood in his mouth kept him alert. “Miss Song, give me a way out, and maybe your brother will survive.”
“Maybe?” Song Fan sneered. “If I give you a way out, he will surely die.”
Song Fan understood the ruthless nature of someone with nothing to lose. She needed to rescue Song Kai alive.
“No way out? Fine, then he’ll die with me. At least we’ll have company in the afterlife,” Summer Yu laughed maniacally. “How about you join us, Miss Song? The three of us could play cards in the underworld. It’s better than going alone, isn’t it?”
Song Kai, although weak, managed to slur, “Play cards with your sister! You think you’re worthy of playing cards with me?”
Summer Yu found his words amusing. As he looked down at Song Kai, Song Kai mustered all his strength and jerked his head. The scalpel nicked his neck, startling Summer Yu, who instinctively pulled back—Song Kai couldn’t die just yet.
Unbeknownst to Summer Yu, Song Fan had drawn a pistol. A single shot rang out, hitting Summer Yu squarely between the eyes.
Summer Yu felt no pain, just a sharp sting before collapsing with Song Kai.
“Fourth Brother!” Song Fan rushed forward to catch Song Kai.
The gunshot had left Song Kai’s ears ringing, making him unable to hear her clearly.
Still, he managed to raise his hand, showing a victory sign, and slurred, “Little sister, that was awesome, a total win.”
