Seeing Father Su

The subordinate, frightened by Song Ling’s harsh tone, dared not speak.

Song Ling’s tone grew colder as he bit out, “If you can’t even speak, then you’re of no use to me!”

With those words, he hung up the call and coldly ordered Zhao Xuan, “Check the company employees’ performance. Anyone who’s been getting paid without working needs to leave immediately!”

Zhao Xuan pursed his lips and acknowledged, “Understood, President Song.”

Song Ling took out the amulet from his pocket and sniffed it a few times to suppress the irritation in his heart.

His gaze lingered on the amulet, becoming somewhat distant.

As the scent of the amulet faded quickly, it reminded him of how long Gu Dai had been away from him. Perhaps… she would never return to his side.

Zhao Xuan felt as though he was living in an ice cellar, enveloped by a chilling air, his body trembling.

He cautiously looked up at Song Ling and, meeting his deep gaze, hurriedly said, “President Song, I’ll get on it right now.”

Song Ling stopped Zhao Xuan, “Go check what Gu Dai is planning to do next.”

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

After leaving the office and feeling the warmth of the sunlight, he finally felt alive again.

At night, the sounds of insects intermingled in the suburbs.

A man in black got out of the car, his gaze fixed on a simply dressed woman wearing a hat, and commanded fiercely, “Lift your head!”

The woman slowly raised her head, revealing a middle-aged face with a few wrinkles and a pale, somber expression.

After a brief inspection, the man in black nodded, “Follow me.”

The woman nodded and followed him into the villa, eventually making her way to the study.

The man in black bowed slightly, “Sir, I’ve brought the person here.”

The study was dark, with nothing visible.

A mechanical voice commanded, “You may leave.”

After the man in black left, Gu Dai felt a gaze on her.

Then she heard the mechanical voice again, “You’re not w.a.n.g Sui.”

The next second, the lights in the study turned on.

The man behind the mask slowly said, “Gu Dai.”

Gu Dai chuckled lightly, looking up at Father Su and asking, “I disguised myself quite closely as w.a.n.g Sui, how did you recognize me?”

Even after applying makeup, she had asked w.a.n.g Sui herself, who had said it was convincing.

Father Su sneered, “You only mimicked her appearance, not her mannerisms.”

Gu Dai nodded in understanding, “I see, I’ll need to study the mannerisms more closely next time.”

Father Su looked at her coldly, asking, “Gu Dai, do you think there will be a next time?”

Gu Dai calmly nodded, “Of course, there will be a next time. After all, I was confident I could leave, which is why I came here.”

Father Su laughed mockingly, his laughter echoing unpleasantly through the study, “Just you coming here alone and still talking big. How ridiculous.”

He stared coldly at Gu Dai, “I won’t let you leave!”

Gu Dai remained unfazed, “Don’t you want to know the Gu family’s secret?”

Father Su scoffed, “Since you came here disguised as w.a.n.g Sui, it only means she betrayed me. So, the Gu family’s secret is merely a means for you to see me, isn’t it? Whether I want to know or not, does it matter?”

Gu Dai nodded lightly, “Perhaps it’s important.”

After a pause, she continued, “The Gu family once lost a child, did you know?”

Upon hearing Gu Dai’s words, Father Su’s features contorted in anger, his eyes glaring fiercely at her as he shouted, “Shut up!”

After saying that, he grabbed a dagger from the table and charged at Gu Dai, “Since you’ve come here, don’t expect to leave. Die!”

Gu Dai’s eyes flashed, and she quickly sidestepped the dagger, kicking his wrist and causing him to drop the weapon.

Father Su slightly bent over, clutching his aching right hand, and gritted his teeth at Gu Dai, “I underestimated you.”

Gu Dai’s lips curved slightly, “It seems so.”

With a cold hum, Father Su’s gaze darkened, and he clenched his fists, charging at Gu Dai again.

Gu Dai’s gaze turned icy, and with a swift motion, she threw the approaching Father Su to the side..
