Chapter 300: Identified Wen Ye’s Location

Translator: _Min_ |

As for the matter of helping Wen Ye regain custody of Gu Yin, Gu Si had long forgotten about it.

Just as she was about to leave, Gu Si looked up and was startled to see Song Ling watching her. Hastily, she quickened her pace.

Song Ling, watching her retreat, wore a look of dark amus.e.m.e.nt. His eyes were filled with scorn. Just superficial affection, he thought.

Gu Dai glanced at the time and noted that only ten minutes had pa.s.sed since Gu Si’s arrival. In Gu Si’s terms, her love was worth no more than ten minutes.

Turning to Gu Yin, Gu Dai asked softly, “Yinyin, does your head still hurt?”

“No, it’s just a bit itchy now,” Gu Yin replied cheerfully. “The nurse said it’s a sign of healing. I’ll be able to leave the hospital soon!”

Gu Dai nodded, smiling, “Yes, you’ll be out soon. Then I’ll take you out, treat you to some delicious food, buy clothes…”

They talked for a long time until Gu Yin slowly drifted off to sleep. Watching her peaceful face, Gu Dai gently covered her with a blanket, her lips curling into a smile.

After instructing the caregiver to take good care of Gu Yin, Gu Dai quietly left the room, only to be greeted by the stern-faced Song Ling.

As Gu Dai attempted to leave, Song Ling stopped her.

His voice cold, he said, “Gu Si doesn’t have a single truthful word in her. Aren’t you afraid she’s trying to get close to Gu Yin, and then they’ll team up against you?”

Gu Dai was momentarily taken aback by his anger but soon realized that Gu Si and Gu Yin’s interaction might have triggered some unpleasant memories for Song Ling.

She knew that his parents had separated when he was young, and he rarely mentioned his father. The scene must have resonated with him.

Gu Dai pondered in her mind but did not voice her thoughts aloud.

During the three years of marriage with Song Ling, whenever she had inquired without understanding, he never disclosed any information about this matter. Now that they were divorced, she had even less right and no need to question it.

Arms crossed, Gu Dai met Song Ling’s gaze and spoke calmly, “I’m not afraid.”

After pausing for a few seconds, Gu Dai continued, “Yinyin is a good child. Gu Si’s actions don’t affect my view of her. Besides, once I gain custody of Yinyin, I will surely treat her well and take up the responsibility of caring for her. There’s no chance of me developing any dislike towards her.”

Through the window, Gu Dai’s gaze firmly rested on Gu Yin lying in the hospital bed.

A beam of sunlight fell on Gu Dai, making her appear dazzlingly bright.

Song Ling’s eyebrows twitched slightly. Seeing Gu Dai like this, his eyes became hazy, and his gaze clung tightly to her.

Noticing Song Ling’s look, Gu Dai frowned slightly and said, “Chu Min found Wen Ye’s whereabouts. I’m going to find him now. Are you coming?”

Song Ling snapped back to reality and immediately replied, “Yes, I’m coming!”

After responding, Song Ling realized it was Chu Min who found the information, which irked him. Why was his team slower than Chu Min’s?

Just then, Song Ling’s phone rang. It was a call from Zhao Xuan.

Zhao Xuan reported, “President Song, I’ve found out. It was Wen Ye who hired those thugs. There’s another party involved, but I haven’t identified them yet. However, I believe they intend to clean up after the others and are not related to Miss Gu Dai.”

Zhao Xuan continued, “As for the black car, we haven’t found the driver yet. The license plate is fake, and according to the surveillance, it disappeared in a blink after appearing at the highway exit.”

Song Ling, satisfied with Zhao Xuan’s efficiency for the first time, decided to increase his bonus for the month and ordered, “Keep investigating. We must find out who the culprit is!”

Zhao Xuan quickly agreed, “Yes, President Song.”

Song Ling had put the call on speaker, so Gu Dai also heard Zhao Xuan’s words.

“Let’s go,” said Gu Dai.

As Song Ling sat in the driver’s seat and saw Gu Dai heading to the back, he lowered his eyes. After a few seconds, he looked up again and said, “Sit in the front. I have something to ask you.”

Gu Dai, not keen to engage but remembering he had been her unpaid helper, reluctantly sat in the front seat. However, she couldn’t think of anything Song Ling might need to ask her..
