Chapter 572: Arrived in the Capital City

Translator: _Min_

Gu Dai had already recognized Su Ting’s remarkable capacity for learning, yet his continuous progress still astounded her.

Under Gu Dai’s astonished gaze, a blush crept over Su Ting’s cheeks. “Daidai, I…”

He modestly claimed to possess no significant talent in hacking, recalling how he had barely grasped the basics when Su Ci had attempted to teach him years ago. His current understanding stemmed from his desire to bridge the gap between himself and Gu Dai, to be closer to her.

Excitedly, Gu Dai grasped Su Ting’s hand. “We can’t let your hacking potential go to waste. You must fully develop it. Show me what you’ve learned recently, then I’ll continue to teach you.”

Su Ting nodded, smiling in agreement. “Okay.”

Being with Gu Dai made any activity worthwhile for him.

w.a.n.g Sui observed the sweet interaction between Gu Dai and Su Ting, unable to prevent the image of Father Su and his cold gaze from invading her thoughts.

Despite her kindness towards him, why didn’t he reciprocate her feelings? He had promised to treat her well, yet why did he offer no words of concern when she was in danger?

w.a.n.g Sui took a deep breath, struggling to suppress the resentment in her heart.

The private plane soon arrived in the Capital City.

w.a.n.g Sui approached Gu Dai, asking, “What would you have me do?”

Gu Dai hadn’t expected w.a.n.g Sui to bring this up proactively, but understanding dawned upon seeing the hatred in w.a.n.g Sui’s eyes.

w.a.n.g Sui declared, “Such a man doesn’t deserve my kindness. I want to make him regret losing me!”

Gu Dai nodded. “Arrange a meeting with him first.”

w.a.n.g Sui immediately took out her phone and dialed the number she knew by heart.

The phone rang for a long while, and just as it was about to disconnect, Father Su slowly answered.

“What is it?” his voice was cold.

Hearing the familiar yet icy tone, w.a.n.g Sui felt as if her heart was clenched tightly. After taking a few deep breaths, she managed to put on a smile and said as she always did, “Su Shen, I miss you so much. Can we meet?”

Father Su didn’t respond immediately. After a long pause, he finally spoke, “Weren’t you locked up? How are you calling me?”

w.a.n.g Sui had held a sliver of hope, perhaps fantasizing that Father Su was unaware of her imprisonment.

But his words shattered her illusions, proving he knew full well what she had endured and yet had left her to fend for herself.

Seeing w.a.n.g Sui’s dazed look, Gu Dai gently nudged her arm, signaling her to snap out of it.

Rushed by Father Su’s prompting voice on the phone, w.a.n.g Sui quickly replied, “I was indeed locked up, but the king of the island took a liking to me. He let me go when no one was looking. I’ve come to the Capital now, but I don’t know anyone here except for you. Can you come pick me up?”

Father Su refused, “I’m busy right now. Just find a hotel to stay in.”

w.a.n.g Sui, struggling to hide her dismay, protested, “After everything I’ve done for you, you won’t even meet me?”

After a long silence, Father Su coldly said, “I’ll contact you when I have time.”

w.a.n.g Sui didn’t believe him. Now that she had escaped from the island and could no longer be of use, why would he contact her?

Realizing this, she quickly added, “While I was imprisoned, I overheard them talking about a secret concerning the Gu family. Aren’t you interested in taking down the Gu family? Are you sure you don’t want to know what the secret is?” Father Su eagerly asked, “What secret? Tell me now!”

Hearing Father Su’s excited voice, w.a.n.g Sui didn’t immediately respond. Instead, she turned to Gu Dai, seeking guidance on what to do next.

Gu Dai typed a message on the phone.

Following Gu Dai’s cue, w.a.n.g Sui read aloud, “This secret is very important. I only want to discuss it with you in person.”

Father Su asked, “Is someone with you?”

w.a.n.g Sui’s heart skipped a beat, puzzled at how Father Su could sense something was amiss from her calm demeanor.

Striving to remain composed, she replied, “You’re the only person I know in the Capital.. How could there be someone else with me?”
