Translator: _Min_ |
Su Ting was taken aback, “Stolen from another company?”
Gu Dai nodded, “The project Lin Hong spoke of does indeed exist. It was only after I discovered this fact that I didn’t suspect him, but I never expected he was impersonating someone else.”
The man in the bed beside Su Ting spoke up, “Young lady, could you enlarge the picture on your phone for me to see?”
Though puzzled, Gu Dai complied, “Okay.”
After viewing the message, Chen Bin spoke coldly, “I never thought someone would take advantage of my illness to deceive others using my assets.”
“Your assets?” Gu Dai inquired.
Chen Bin nodded, “Yes, the design in the picture is mine. Can you tell me who has stolen my creation? Once I find out who it is, I will not let them off easily!”
“He’s called Lin Hong,” Gu Dai revealed.
Chen Bin immediately made a call to deal with this so-called Lin Hong.
After hanging up, Chen Bin turned to Gu Dai, “Were you discussing this collaboration with Lin Hong? If so, are you interested in discussing it with me? I’ve been looking for a partner, but due to an accident and a subsequent car crash, it got delayed.”
Their conversation in the hospital then shifted to work matters.
After discussing the collaboration, Chen Bin smiled, “I haven’t returned back home for many years, focusing on developing industries here. I didn’t expect such a business prodigy to emerge back home. Your company is Gu Group, right? Do you know Gu Zhe?”
Gu Dai was surprised, responding, “Gu Zhe is my father.”
Chen Bin looked at her excitedly, “Gu Zhe is your father? No wonder you’re so talented!”
He remembered being impressed by Gu Zhe’s abilities back in the day in the Capital.
After agreeing to see the product the next day, Gu Dai took Su Ting back to the hotel.
As Gu Dai was changing Su Ting’s dressing, he softly said, “Daidai, my wound isn’t serious. I can take care of myself.”
Gu Dai firmly refused, “No.”
Su Ting began to protest but was cut off by Gu Dai’s penetrating gaze, “Your pale face, is it not because of the pain from the wound?”
Su Ting wanted to say it didn’t hurt, but under Gu Dai’s scrutiny, he faltered and looked away, admitting softly, “It hurts…”
After acknowledging, Gu Dai applied acupuncture to Su Ting’s body to alleviate his pain.
Su Ting, watching Gu Dai’s movement, slowly asked, “This is…”
Gu Dai replied “It can help relieve your pain. Do you feel much better now?”
Su Ting felt the pain in his waist dissipate and responded obediently, “Yes.”
Seeing Su Ting’s complexion improve, Gu Dai finally relaxed, “Rest well. If there’s anything you need, just call me.”
Su Ting nodded under her gaze but looked troubled.
He whispered, “But what about showering…”
Gu Dai, realizing another issue, pursed her lips and said, “I’ll wait outside the door. Call me if you need anything.”
While Su Ting was showering, the sight of his blood-stained clothes brought back the image of the man stabbing him. Gu Dai’s eyes darkened as she made a call to deal with the situation.
Then, the doorbell rang.
With a flicker of darkness in her eyes, Gu Dai picked up a knife from the table and slowly opened the door.
Seeing Song Ling, she frowned slightly and coldly asked, “What are you doing here?”
Song Ling, undeterred by her tone, expressed his concern, “Are you okay? Has anyone done anything to you?”
“I’m fine,” Gu Dai replied curtly.
As she finished speaking, she moved to close the door,
Seeing her close the door, Song Ling quickly stopped it, angrily demanding, “Do you have no heart, Gu Dai? I came to such a dangerous place, worried about you, and you’re shutting me out.”
Gu Dai said calmly, “No.”
Song Ling was so angry that his whole body trembled.
“I don’t need your protection. Go back,” Gu Dai stated plainly.
Sounds from the bathroom drew Gu Dai’s attention.
“Su Ting, what’s wrong?” she asked, rushing over.
“It’s nothing. I just pulled at the wound,” Su Ting replied softly.
Gu Dai carefully inspected his wound, then sighed in relief, “Water got into it. I’ll change your dressing.”
Su Ting glanced towards the door at Song Ling before turning his gaze back to Gu Dai and quietly agreed, “Okay..”
