Chapter 524: Gu Dai Unconcious....
Translator: _Min_ |
Gu Dai’s expression darkened as she considered the possible identities of those targeting her.
Was it possible that her actions against Zhou Corporation had attracted unwanted attention from Organization X, prompting them to take action against her?
When more than a dozen men in black, wielding hammers and intending to smash the car windows to force her out, descended from their vehicles, Gu Dai, without any hesitation, stepped out of the car on her own accord.
The men were taken aback by her compliance.
Gu Dai remarked coolly, “My car was just replaced a few days ago; don’t damage it.”
One of the men in black scoffed, “Since Miss Gu is so cooperative, come with us.”
Gu Dai, twisting her wrist, questioned, “I merely stepped out of the car. When did I agree to go with you?”
“If Miss Gu does not cooperate, don’t blame us for being rude,” the man warned.
Gu Dai nodded, “Come at me, all of you.”
Enraged, the men charged at her collectively.
Gu Dai effortlessly handled them with uppercuts, sidekicks, and sweeping legs, until she detected a strange fragrance in the air.
Realizing something was amiss, she attempted to use silver needles on her acupoints, but to no avail; her head remained dizzy, and her vision blurred.
Before losing consciousness, she heard one of the men say, “This sedative is really potent. If we hadn’t taken the antidote in advance, we’d have passed out too. It’s a credit to our… development…”
Gu Dai closed her eyes and fell into unconsciousness.
Meanwhile, Su Ting was engrossed in his work.
Suddenly, he felt an inexplicable sense of dread, as if something terrible was about to happen.
Yang Gao looked at Su Ting’s paused movements and said quickly, “President Su, these are the last two contracts. You can get off work after finishing them.”
Su Ting nodded, and Gu Dai’s figure flashed in his mind, and he couldn’t wait to see her.
Su Ting couldn’t ignore it anymore, so he took out his mobile phone and dialed Gu Dai’s number, but the call was never connected, and the phone was even turned off later.
He instantly sensed something was amiss. Recalling the message from Gu Dai mentioning that she was out for afternoon tea with Shi Nuan, he hurriedly dialed Shi Nuan’s number. “Is Daidai with you?”
Shi Nuan replied, “No, she was here initially, but after receiving a call from Zheng Ming, she went back to work.”
Meng Zhi leaned in to inquire, “What’s happened?”
Su Ting found himself at a loss for words, pursed his lips, and said, “I tried calling Daidai, but she didn’t pick up. Let’s not talk about this now; I’m going to call Zheng Ming to ask.”
Watching the call end, Meng Zhi shook his head in resignation, “So clingy, no wonder Daidai isn’t answering his calls.”
Shi Nuan chuckled lightly and asked, “So, can I ignore your calls too?”
Without a moment’s hesitation, Meng Zhi immediately denied, “No! Because I’m only 99% clingy, not 100%.”
Shi Nuan questioned, “Are you sure?”
Recalling how Meng Zhi, during his days abroad, would message her every few minutes, and how she would receive his ‘painful essays’ if she didn’t reply for two hours, her gaze towards him grew increasingly skeptical.
Meng Zhi, remembering his actions over the past few days, coughed awkwardly and admitted in a soft voice, “Alright, I’m 100% clingy too. But even so, Nuannuan, please don’t ignore me.”
Before, Shi Nuan had always thought Meng Zhi to be cool and aloof, but after getting together, she realized he was nothing like that. He was like a childish boy who hadn’t grown up.
Seeing Shi Nuan just staring at him without saying a word made Meng Zhi increasingly anxious. He tugged at her sleeve, cooing, “Nuannuan, don’t ignore me, okay?”
Shi Nuan, looking at Meng Zhi, let out a light laugh, “Don’t worry, I’ll never ignore you.”
Even though Meng Zhi wasn’t what she had imagined, whatever his personality was, she liked it all the same.
Meng Zhi excitedly hugged Shi Nuan and spun her around.
Shi Nuan, startled, closed her eyes and gently patted Meng Zhi’s shoulders, “Quick, put me down…”
Meng Zhi obediently stopped and pulled Shi Nuan into his embrace, smiling as he agreed, “Okay.”
At that moment, Zheng Ming’s call came through, “Young Master Meng, Miss Gu Dai is missing!”
