Chapter 641: Gu Dai’s Disappearance
“Is it really just a coincidence?”
Gu Dai’s initial resistance flickered briefly. Trying to grasp at the elusive feeling, she hesitated and asked, “Are we really a couple?”
Song Ling nodded, “Yes, we are.”
Feeling the intensity of Gu Dai’s gaze on him, Song Ling found it hard to maintain his calm facade. Quickly, he said, “I have some matters to attend to. You should rest.”
As Song Ling turned to leave, Gu Dai urgently asked, “Are you going to find out who hit me with the car?”
Though Song Ling was too flustered to fully hear her, he instinctively responded, “Yes.”
Zhao Xuan followed Song Ling out of the room, casting a glance back at Gu Dai before exiting.
Once outside, Song Ling sternly called Zhao Xuan over, “Come here.”
Zhao Xuan approached and bowed his head, “President Song, what are your orders?”
Song Ling’s eyes bore into Zhao Xuan, “You know what I mean. There’s no need to pretend here.”
Zhao Xuan remained silent for a moment before softly replying, “President Song, everyone in the Capital knows Miss Gu Dai. Moreover, Mr. Su will undoubtedly investigate. Even if you don’t tell her the truth now, she will eventually find out.”
Song Ling’s gaze turned cold.
Feeling the chill emanating from Song Ling, Zhao Xuan involuntarily shivered but mustered the courage to continue, “Miss Gu Dai is bound to discover the truth.”
Song Ling sneered, “Gu Dai was amnesic for three years before without anyone noticing. This time will be no different!”
Zhao Xuan wanted to argue further, but Song Ling cut him off.
“You are merely an assistant. It’s not your place to question my decisions. Just keep the truth to yourself and inform the others in the villa what they can and cannot say,” Song Ling ordered.
With a resigned sigh, Zhao Xuan agreed, “Understood.”
Realizing there was no convincing Song Ling, Zhao Xuan saw no point in further arguments. He accepted that they would eventually face the truth.
Song Ling called out to Zhao Xuan before he could leave, “Make sure to deal with the surveillance footage. Don’t let Su Ting find anything.”
After a brief pause, Zhao Xuan responded under Song Ling’s intense gaze, “Understood.”
Song Ling stared out the window, his thoughts adrift.
Returning to the Capital from a business trip in Lincheng, Song Ling had not intended to intervene when he saw a car crash scene involving several people on the ground. It was clearly a targeted assassination attempt. However, the familiarity of one of the license plates caught his eye. It looked like Gu Dai’s car.
Initially skeptical, he only confirmed his suspicion upon seeing the bleeding, unconscious Gu Dai.
Recalling Zhao Xuan’s words now seemed almost laughable to him. Fate had indeed given him another chance to be with Gu Dai, who had lost her memory once more.
On the road to Lincheng.
Su Ting, recognizing the people on the ground as Gu Dai’s entourage, acted swiftly.
He ordered his men to send the unconscious individuals to the hospital.
Scanning the area and finding no sign of Gu Dai, Su Ting hurried to a nearby car, only to find it empty as well.
Gu Dai’s image flashed incessantly in his mind, his face pale with worry. Just before closing the car door, he spotted a phone on the seat.
He instantly recognized it as Gu Dai’s.
Picking it up, he pressed the button, and the phone turned on, fully charged, indicating it had been deliberately turned off.
Who could have done this…
Yang Gao’s voice interrupted his thoughts, “Mr. Su, they’re awake.”
Su Ting quickly exited the car, “I’ll go check.”
His only hope now lay with them, praying they knew Gu Dai’s whereabouts.
The driver, seeing Su Ting, spoke up before being asked, “Mr. Su, we were fighting the men in black when they threw something at us, and we lost consciousness. I saw a car crash into Miss Gu’s vehicle before I blacked out.”
His emotions surged as he anxiously asked, “Is Miss Gu alright?”
Hearing the driver’s account, Su Ting felt a sinking dread, his voice urgent and desperate, “You don’t know where Gu Dai is?”
