Zhao Xuan approached Gu Dai, saying, “Miss Gu, this is the information Mr.
Song found. He instructed me to deliver it to you immediately.”
Gu Dai took the documents, which contained a detailed analysis of the suspicions surrounding the explosion of a cruise ship three years ago, complete with corresponding illustrations.
After closing the documents, Gu Dai said, “Please thank him for me when you return.”
Zhao Xuan nodded eagerly, promising to convey her message. Hesitating for a moment, he still decided to speak on behalf of Song Ling.
“Miss Gu, President Song is really concerned about you. As soon as I arrived at the hospital, he asked if you were injured. Knowing you wanted this information, he even instructed me to deliver it to you immediately.”
Gu Dai remained unmoved, replying indifferently, “This information was found a few days ago. If he was so eager to give it to me, I wouldn’t have received it only today.”
Zhao Xuan coughed lightly, caught off guard by Gu Dai’s awareness.
Su Ting, who had been listening for a while, asked calmly, “Is Song Ling concerned about my sister while accompanying Jiang Yue?”
Zhao Xuan wanted to speak further in Song Ling’s defense, but Su Ting’s words left him speechless. He hastily found an excuse to leave.
After Zhao Xuan departed, Gu Dai’s attention returned to the documents.
Su Ting pursed his lips and asked, “Sister, have you figured anything out?”
Gu Dai nodded, replying after a few seconds, “I’ve discovered that all clues point to one place— Cloud Island. It seems necessary for me to explore this island.”
Tugging at Gu Dai’s sleeve, Su Ting asked earnestly, “Sis, can I come with you?”
Gu Dai met his gaze and nodded, “Yes.”
Meng Zhi, who had just come downstairs, overheard their conversation and quickly joined in, “Daidai, let me accompany you to protect you both.”
Gu Dai had no objections and nodded in agreement.
Over the next few days, Gu Dai was busy at work, ensuring she could make time to visit Cloud Island.
Meanwhile, Song Ling spent his days at the hospital, accompanying Jiang Yue.
Jiang Yue, with sparkling eyes, watched Song Ling work, feeling she was one step closer to marrying into the Song family.
She realized her aunt was right; men prefer gentleness. Her previous overreactions had displeased Song Ling, but now that she had moderated her behavior, he treated her exceptionally well.
Upon seeing this scene, Zhao Xuan took a deep breath and then reported to Song Ling, “Mr. Song, I have something to report.”
Song Ling hummed in acknowledgment. Seeing Zhao Xuan hesitate to speak, he stood up and walked out of the room.
Following him, Zhao Xuan said, “According to our observations, Miss Gu plans to head to Cloud Island in an hour.”
Song Ling responded, then after a while, asked, “Is Su Ting going with her?”
Zhao Xuan hesitated but honestly nodded.
Song Ling’s expression darkened, and he coldly said, “Don’t report such trivial matters to me in the future!”
With that, Song Ling turned and went back into the room.
Jiang Yue asked with concern, “Brother Song Ling, is something wrong?”
Song Ling replied curtly, “Nothing.”
A glint of darkness flashed in Jiang Yue’s eyes. Although she hadn’t heard Zhao Xuan and Song Ling’s conversation, she was sure it involved Gu Dai.
Her dislike for Zhao Xuan grew. She had always felt his disapproval of her, and now he was even interfering with her developing relationship with Song Ling.
Once she became Mrs. Song, she vowed to be the first to send him packing.
Jiang Yue continued softly, “Brother Song Ling, if you have any troubles, you can talk to me. I might not know how to solve them, but I can be your best listener, and I…”
Song Ling, already irritated and with the image of Gu Dai and Su Ting together haunting his mind, became even more agitated by Jiang Yue’s voice.
Standing up abruptly, he instructed Zhao Xuan outside to send his things back to the Song Corporation and then prepared to leave.
Jiang Yue sat up quickly, asking anxiously, “Brother Song Ling, where are you going? I’m scared when you’re not here.”
Song Ling didn’t stop, merely leaving a brief message.
“I’ll arrange for you to be moved to a luxury ward and hire a few caregivers to accompany you. I have some matters to attend to, so I’m leaving now.”
Watching Song Ling’s retreating figure, Jiang Yue angrily pounded the bed with her hand..
