Chapter 304: Back to the Capital
Translator: _Min_ |
In the presence of the police, Wen Ye dared not act rashly and thus closed his mouth, though his mind was already scheming against Gu Dai.
Wen Ye asked, “How long will I be detained?”
The officer shattered his illusions with the response, “The crimes you committed could lead to a sentence of over ten years.”
Wen Ye was stunned into disbelief, his eyes widening as he exclaimed, “What did you say!”
The officer, however, did not engage further in conversation.
Gu Dai watched as Wen Ye was taken away by the police, then turned and left.
Song Ling, seeing Gu Dai’s departing figure, hurried to catch up, asking, “Where are you headed next?”
“Back to the capital,” Gu Dai answered, not forgetting to thank Song Ling for his help, “Thanks for your help just now.”
“It was nothing, I didn’t really help much,” Song Ling replied politely.
After a brief exchange, Gu Dai quickly departed, leaving Song Ling gazing after her solitary figure. An impulse to rush up and embrace her surged within him, but he quickly reined in his thoughts.
Song Ling then called Zhao Xuan.
Zhao Xuan answered, “President Song, what do you need?”
“Did you find anything about Gu Dai’s medical skills?” Song Ling inquired, recalling the alley scene where Wen Ye, despite being beaten with the rod, seemed unnaturally agile. He remembered Gu Dai’s hands moving, but her body had blocked the view.
But Song Ling was certain Wen Ye’s rapid recovery had something to do with Gu Dai.
Zhao Xuan stuttered nervously, “I’m sorry, President Song, I…”
“Keep investigating!” Song Ling ordered.
“Right away,” Zhao Xuan responded.contemporary romance
After a moment of silence on the call, Zhao Xuan was about to hang up when Song Ling spoke up again, his voice sounding unnatural.
“Put the investigation into Gu Dai’s medical skills on hold. For now, focus on when she returns to the capital. Book me on the same flight as her, with seats close together.”
Upon hearing Song Ling’s instructions, Zhao Xuan quickly responded with a light chuckle, while internally he couldn’t help but marvel, President Songs demeanor clearly showed his affection for Miss Gu Dai. Despite his verbal denial, his actions were honestly revealing his feelings.
Hearing the laughter in Zhao Xuan’s voice, Song Ling clarified, his voice serious, “I’m just kindly helping Gu Dai because she’s with an injured child. Besides, she’s injured herself, how could she possibly take care of someone else? I’m doing this for the child’s sake!”
Zhao Xuan hastened to agree, “Yes, yes, President Song is generous, and I was shortsighted.”
While Zhao Xuan praised him verbally, he remained convinced of his own opinion.
After all, Song Ling’s words sounded more like excuses.
Two days later.
Gu Dai, with Gu Yin in her arms, arrived at the airport.
Sitting in Gu Dai’s embrace, Gu Yin looked around, finally feeling the reality of the situation. Smiling, she said, “Cousin, so I really can live with you from now on!”
Gu Dai nodded, “Of course. Once you come to the capital with me, I’ll protect you and won’t let anyone bully you again.”
Gu Yin hugged Gu Dai tightly, struggling to hold back tears in her eyes, and nodded firmly in agreement, “Mhmm!”
Hearing the cry in Gu Yin’s voice, Gu Dai gently rubbed her head and changed the subject, “Did you not believe I would bring you to the capital?”
Gu Yin quickly shook her head, “No, no, I always believed in you, cousin. It just seemed too wonderful to be true.”
Gu Dai, seeing Gu Yin’s flustered and blushing face, chuckled softly, reassuringly saying, “It’s all true.”
Gu Yin nodded in response, “Mhmm!”
She looked forward to a future without Wen Ye.
Gu Dai made sure she had everything, most importantly the silver needles.
Although Gu Yin seemed alright for now, Gu Dai remained concerned about potential aftereffects on her head and kept the needles ready for any special circumstances.
As Gu Dai idly looked around, she unexpectedly spotted Song Ling walking towards her..
