Almost as soon as the call connected, Blue Moon answered, “Hello? Boss? Is that you?”

The signal was poor, with the sound breaking up and the rapid tapping of Blue Moon’s keyboard audible.

Song Fan accessed the computer system. Santo hadn’t set a password, likely confident that no one on the island would dare enter his room.

“It’s me. The situation here is special. I’m on a deserted island…” Song Fan began, but before she could finish, the door to the wooden house was pushed open.

“Still haven’t found them. This is so annoying. Has the food been delivered?” a woman’s voice called out.

Seeing the scene inside, the woman didn’t hesitate to start shooting.

Song Fan recognized her as the woman who had brought her the canned food, clearly someone close to Santo.

The woman fired repeatedly, likely to alert the surrounding mercenaries. Song Fan and Sun Yu quickly climbed out the window, with the woman following and shouting in a language they couldn’t understand, presumably calling for backup.

In the chaos, Sun Yu shot the woman in the ankle. As she cried out in pain, Song Fan fired a fatal shot to her head, and the woman fell dead.

“Did you manage to send the location?” Sun Yu asked, trying to control her panic.

Song Fan shook her head, “We need to move. They’ll be here any moment. We’ll find another chance later.”

She turned to run into the forest, but Sun Yu didn’t move. Song Fan went back to pull her, but Sun Yu pushed her away.

“What’s your name?” Sun Yu’s sudden question gave Song Fan a bad feeling.

“Song Fan.”

“Song Fan? Well, you’re anything but ordinary,” Sun Yu said with a stiff smile. “There’s no second chance. I’ll distract them; you…”

“No!” Song Fan interrupted. She couldn’t let her only companion take such a risk.

The situation was clear—if Sun Yu became a decoy, facing dozens of mercenaries, she had no chance of survival.

But Sun Yu shook her head, tears streaming down her face. “I have no one left to contact. My husband… It’s settled. I’ll draw them away. Once they’re gone, you can contact the outside.”

Song Fan shook her head vehemently, but Sun Yu’s expression grew determined. “If your people are fast enough, I might survive.”

Even Sun Yu didn’t believe her own words, but she needed to give herself a reason to carry on.

Before leaving, she turned back. “Song Fan, don’t forget your promise. My husband’s surgery… Forget it.”

She took off her ring, a tiny diamond now caked with blood and dirt. “He saved up to buy this for our wedding. I said I didn’t want it, and he…” Sun Yu wiped her tears, “Take it back, Song Fan. Live well.”

Song Fan knew these were her final words.

Before she could respond, Sun Yu pushed her into the bushes as the mercenaries arrived.

Sun Yu quickly picked up a submachine gun and fired a few shots at the incoming mercenaries, then ran into the depths of the forest.

The mercenaries, over a hundred meters away, saw a figure running and gave chase.

In the confusion, they assumed Santo was well-protected and didn’t check the wooden house.

As the gunfire grew distant, Song Fan composed herself and rushed back into the wooden house.

She dialed the satellite phone again, typing on the computer with one hand.

Blue Moon quickly answered, “Boss, you scared me! Are you okay? The last call was too short; I couldn’t locate you.”

“Check your email. I’ve sent the coordinates. Contact Sasha; he’s closer.”

“No, no, Mr. Gu is closer,” Blue Moon said excitedly. “He’s near your sea area. I’ve sent him your location.”

“Him…” Song Fan was momentarily speechless but quickly regained focus. “No, the island is full of armed mercenaries. Gu Chen’s people would be walking into a death trap.”

Suddenly, Song Fan heard a broadcast from the sea.

“Attention, people on the island. We are the Navy of Country Z. Cease all resistance and surrender at the shore…”

The broadcast repeated in several languages, ensuring everyone understood. Song Fan closed her eyes, exhaling in relief—they were saved.
