Chu Min pulled out his phone, scrolled to the photo, and handed it to Gu Dai.
He explained, “She left too quickly. When I got there, I saw her getting into a car. I quickly snapped a photo, but only got her side profile. Boss, do you recognize her?”
Gu Dai studied the photo, which showed a red-dressed woman getting into a car.
Her brows furrowed slightly, she shook her head, “I don’t recognize her.”
Chu Min, realizing even his boss didn’t know her, suspected she wasn’t an ordinary person.
“I suspect this woman is connected to Wen Ye,” Chu Min suggested.
Gu Dai nodded in agreement. “That’s what I think too.”
Chu Min asked, “Boss, what should we do now? Should I arrange for someone to bring those thugs back?”
Gu Dai, after pondering, declined, “No need.”
Confused, Chu Min looked at her for an explanation.
Gu Dai spoke calmly, “We don’t have any leads right now. Their release might lead us to the mastermind behind this.”
Chu Min’s eyes brightened, admiring her strategy, “Boss, you’re brilliant! I didn’t think of that!”
Gu Dai, hearing Chu Min’s praise, shook her head helplessly, she then asked, “Can you arrange for me to be discharged.
Chu Min frowned, concerned about her health, “Boss, you haven’t fully recovered. It could affect your recovery.”
Gu Dai insisted, “I have things to handle.”
She added, “I am a doctor. I know my body well, and you’ve hired doctors, haven’t you? If you’re worried, they can check on me daily.”
After a moment of internal struggle, Chu Min agreed, “Okay, I’ll arrange it.”
Before leaving, Chu Min asked, “Boss, what do you need to handle?”
Gu Dai replied, “The matter with that young boy. Have someone bring him to my hotel.”
Chu Min nodded, “Alright.”
When Gu Dai opened her hotel room door, she saw the boy standing nervously at the doorway. “Miss… Miss Gu, hello,” he greeted hesitantly.
Gu Dai nodded and, leaning against the wall with crossed arms, asked, “What’s your name?”
Fu Nan, fingers nervously twisting his shirt hem until they turned white, answered with a forced loudness, “I, I’m Fu Nan.”
Fu Nan then lowered his head, not daring to meet Gu Dai’s eyes.
Being a low-profile actor in the entertainment industry, he had only stayed in modest hotels before. This was his first time in such a luxurious hotel.
Even without knowing the brands, the exquisite decor and upscale furnishings suggested immense value.
Gu Dai, with her delicate features and stunning beauty, seemed to blend perfectly into this refined setting, making Fu Nan feel even more out of place, as if they were from different worlds.
Observing Fu Nan’s tense demeanor, Gu Dai softened her voice, “Hello, I’m Gu Dai.”
Fu Nan quickly nodded, stuttering, “I, I’ve heard about you.”
Assuming Chu Min had informed him, Gu Dai didn’t dwell on it and got straight to the point, “I’m interested in you, you…”
Before she could finish, Fu Nan, like a startled rabbit, looked up in disbelief, “You’re interested in me!”
Gu Dai nodded, her gaze studying his face, “You’re very handsome. Sharp facial features, well-proportioned and defined. You have a charisma about you.”
The more she observed, the more satisfied she became.
She believed Fu Nan had potential. If the company signed him, his good looks and talent would surely attract fans.
Fu Nan’s complexion turned pale, his expression conflicted. His hands, hanging by his sides, clenched into fists, then slowly relaxed..
