Chapter 544: That Woman was Gu Dai....

Su Ting regained his composure and hurriedly spoke, “Daidai, my leg doesn’t hurt.”
However, Gu Dai didn’t believe Su Ting after hearing his words. “Let me give you a massage. Even if your leg doesn’t hurt, it can still relieve some of your fatigue. By the way, how is the burn on your back? Let me apply some medicine to it later.”
Hearing that Gu Dai had already made up her mind, Su Ting no longer refused and responded, “Alright.”
Under Gu Dai’s massage, Su Ting’s entire body relaxed, and he gradually drifted into sleep.
After applying medicine to Su Ting’s wounds, Gu Dai looked at his peaceful sleeping face, her heart softening slightly.
She watched him for a long while before taking her laptop and leaving the bedroom to check the surveillance camera at the entrance of the villa.
Su Ting had been out for too long, and his expression was off when he returned, suggesting that something might have happened outside.
What Gu Dai didn’t expect was that Su Ting had walked out of the villa’s surveillance range, and when he returned, he appeared to be in a daze.
Recalling that there were cameras outside the villa as well, Gu Dai started to search through the surveillance footage by typing in codes, only to frown upon seeing the results. “Why is there nothing on the surveillance? Could someone have deleted it?”
Thinking of this possibility made Gu Dai even more irritated.
If nothing had happened, then the surveillance footage wouldn’t have been deleted.
She considered asking her subordinates to investigate, but hesitated upon picking up her phone, “Never mind, I’ll wait until Su Ting is ready to talk about it.”
Elsewhere, in the car.
Su Ci suddenly remembered that his conversation outside might have been captured on camera, so he quickly pulled out his laptop to find the surveillance footage.
The words of Father Su on the phone had left him agitated, so he deleted the footage without even looking at it.
Father Su continued to scold, “Su Ci, are you even listening to me?”
With a cold expression, Su Ci replied, “Give it up. I will not help you harm
Daidai, and I won’t allow you to hurt her either!”
Father Su snorted, “Well, I’d like to see how you’re going to protect her!”
With that, he hung up the phone.
Hearing the hang-up tone, Su Ci’s hands involuntarily clenched into fists.
His father’s words implied that he might make another move against Gu Dai. Realizing this, a determined look flashed in Su Ci’s eyes, “Daidai, I will protect you at all costs and not give him a chance to harm you.”
Meanwhile, Song Ling grew increasingly agitated and couldn’t help wanting to find Gu Dai, only to be surprised upon arriving at the hospital to find her bed empty and no sign of her anywhere.
Feeling Song Ling’s icy aura, Zhao Xuan nervously lowered his head, not wanting to draw his attention.
Unfortunately, things didn’t go as smoothly as he had hoped.
Song Ling glared at Zhao Xuan and scolded, “How could you handle things like this? You didn’t even report to me that Gu Dai was no longer in the hospital!”
Zhao Xuan had been busy with the tasks Song Ling had assigned him and had no time to pay attention to anything else.
But now, faced with Song Ling’s gaze, he could only apologize, “I’m sorry,
President Song, this was my oversight. Your…”
Song Ling coldly interrupted, “Your salary is cut in half this month!”
After dropping this bombshell, he stormed out of the hospital and drove away at high speed.
Zhao Xuan took a deep breath, cursing Song Ling under his breath before taking a taxi back to the company.
As Song Ling sped away, thinking about how he had finally decided to visit Gu Dai only to find she had already left, his face burned with frustration. “Gu Dai, you really have a way of showing your feelings, saying you don’t like me when you don’t!”
He fell silent for a moment.
Because it dawned on him that Gu Dai might never have liked him at all, treating him as someone else during the three years of her amnesia.
But Gu Dai was likely to be disappointed, as Su Ci might not necessarily like her either!
Thinking of the scene where Su Ci had emerged from the ship carrying a woman, Song Ling’s mood lifted.
However, this happiness was short-lived as he pondered a question: IfSu Ci had left with a woman, where had Su Ting, who had boarded the ship with him, gone?
Linking Su Ting’s injury on the ship and the silhouette of the woman Su Ci had carried, Song Ling suddenly considered a possibility, “Could it be…. that woman was actually Gu Dai?”
