Chapter 536: Go Abroad Together
....Translator: _Min_ |
In recent days, Gu Dai had been tirelessly investigating the mastermind behind the s.h.i.+p incident, yet not a single clue had surfaced.
Su Ting offered his a.s.sistance, “I’ve also had my people looking into it.”
Gu Dai nodded in acknowledgment, “Okay.”
Her gaze dropped as she spoke softly, “This incident reminds me a lot of one that occurred three years ago. I suspect it might be orchestrated by the same group.”
Su Ting agreed, sharing her suspicions, “Daidai, don’t worry. We’ll definitely catch the person behind this someday.”
Gu Dai simply responded, “Hmm.”
A thought then occurred to Su Ting, prompting him to ask, “Daidai, how is the clean energy project going?”
This project, signed internationally not long ago, had initially been successfully introduced to the market. Everything was proceeding smoothly until suddenly, a shortage of raw materials stalled its progress.
Gu Dai sighed, her voice tinged with frustration, “We still haven’t resolved the issue with the materials.”
Su Ting’s gaze lowered, “The timing of this shortage is too coincidental.”
Upon hearing this, Gu Dai’s eyes sharpened instantly, “Are you suggesting someone is sabotaging us?”
Su Ting nodded, “I wouldn’t rule out the possibility.”
Gu Dai considered this, unsure whether the culprit was from Organization X or the same mastermind behind the s.h.i.+p incident.
She rubbed her temples in irritation, then declared, “We can’t keep going without these materials. I’ll have to go abroad in a few days to import them myself.”
Su Ting was taken aback, “Go abroad to import…”
He frowned instinctively, “Daidai, it’s too dangerous for you to go alone. Why not send someone else?”
Gu Dai shook her head, “There’s no time to waste. The clean energy project can’t afford delays, especially if someone is indeed trying to sabotage us. I need to go myself to ensure everything goes smoothly.”
Hearing the determination in Gu Dai’s voice, Su Ting knew he couldn’t change her mind. Thus, he offered, “Daidai, let me accompany you.”
Gu Dai immediately refused, “No, you’re still recovering from your injuries. You need to rest.”
Su Ting protested, “I’ve been resting these past few days and feel much better.”
Gu Dai scrutinized him, “Are you sure?”
After a few seconds of silence, Su Ting admitted softly, “I’m not fully recovered, but I’d worry about you if you went alone. I won’t be able to rest easy. Please, let me accompany you.”
Gu Dai, somewhat relenting, finally said, “Okay.”
Su Ting’s eyes lit up, “I knew Daidai wouldn’t leave me behind.”
Gu Dai regretted her quick decision, wondering why she had softened so easily.
Yet, meeting Su Ting’s gaze, she realized she couldn’t backtrack now. She resolved to arrange for extra protection for Su Ting during their trip.
When Su Ci entered the room, he immediately felt the harmonious atmosphere between Gu Dai and Su Ting.
He took a deep breath and greeted them with a smile, “Su Ting, Daidai.”
Gu Dai looked up, “You’re here to see Su Ting.”
Su Ci nodded, “Yes.”
After a moment of silence, he voiced his concern, “Daidai, the person who kidnapped you hasn’t been found yet. It’s too risky for you to go abroad now.” Gu Dai was adamant, “I must go on this trip.”
Su Ci remained opposed, “It’s too dangerous.”
He couldn’t predict when his father would act, and given his hatred for the Gu family, he was certain there would be no mercy shown.
Su Ting a.s.sured, “I’ll protect Daidai.”
Feeling Gu Dai’s gaze on him, Su Ting coughed lightly and added, “Both of us will return safely.”
Gu Dai affirmed, “Exactly.”
Su Ci, suppressing the bitterness within, managed a smile, “That’s good to hear.”
Gu Dai’s phone then rang, with Meng Zhi on the other end, “Daidai, grandma has heard about the incident!”
Startled, Gu Dai quickly responded, “I’ll come right now.”
She turned to Su Ci, asking for a favor, “I need to go home for a bit. Could you please take care of Su Ting for me?”
Su Ci, momentarily struggling to maintain his smile at Gu Dai’s formal request, a.s.sured, “Daidai, it’s what I should do. Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of him.”
Before leaving, Gu Dai instructed Su Ting, “Rest well. I’ll be back soon.”
Su Ting obediently nodded, “Okay.”
After Gu Dai hurriedly departed, Su Ting looked at Su Ci and inquired, “Brother, can’t you tell me the thing you’ve been hiding?”
Su Ci, pausing mid-way through peeling an apple, simply replied, “I can’t..”
