Chapter 642: Deal with the Gu Family
The driver, realizing the gravity of the situation, exclaimed, “Miss Gu is in trouble, isn’t she?”
Yang Gao immediately informed him of Gu Dai’s disappearance.
Su Ting took a deep breath to calm his rising panic and asked, “Do you remember the license plate number of the car that hit her?”
The driver, caught off guard, lowered his head, trying to recall, but the effort only brought a headache.
Su Ting said, “Rest for now. You can think about it after you’ve recovered.”
He turned to Yang Gao, “Retrieve the surveillance footage.”
Yang Gao responded promptly, “Yes.”
In the small house next to the Gu residence.
Gu Ming couldn’t hide his glee upon learning that his subordinates had hit Gu Dai’s car. He immediately dialed Gu Si.
As soon as Gu Si answered, Gu Ming gleefully said, “I’ve taken care of Gu Dai!”
Gu Si’s tone was indifferent, “Did you handle the surveillance?”
Gu Ming was momentarily stunned, “No.”
Gu Si continued, “Did you make sure no one saw the license plate?”
Gu Ming found himself at a loss for words.
Gu Si sneered, “Did you see Gu Dai’s body? Can you confirm she’s dead?”
Under Gu Si’s questioning, Gu Ming opened his mouth to argue but ultimately had no a.s.surances to give.
Gu Si sighed, “It’s a good thing I knew you couldn’t handle things properly. I had people destroy the surveillance footage beforehand. As for the license plate, figure it out yourself.”
Gu Ming’s eyes darkened, and he quickly promised, “Don’t worry, I’ll take care of the license plate. No one will suspect us.”
Sensing that Gu Si was about to hang up, he hurriedly added, “Wait, don’t hang up!”
Gu Si asked, “What else?”
Gu Ming urgently inquired, “What about Gu Dai? If she’s not dead, with her capabilities, she’ll find out it was us behind this.”
Gu Si rea.s.sured, “Don’t worry, she won’t trace it back to you.”
Gu Ming was taken aback, “Do you know where Gu Dai is?”
Realizing this, he anxiously pressed, “Sister, tell me where Gu Dai is, and I’ll send someone to finish her off now.”
Gu Si responded coolly, “You don’t need to worry about Gu Dai. Your main task is to take control of the Gu Group.”
Understanding that Gu Si had her own plans, Gu Ming stopped pressing, “Alright.”
After hanging up, Gu Si tossed her phone onto the table and asked her subordinate, “Are you sure Song Ling took Gu Dai and that she has amnesia?” The subordinate nodded emphatically, “Yes, I’m sure!”
Gu Si chuckled, “It seems even fate is on my side.”
Initially, she had been troubled about how to get past the Song family’s guards to deal with Gu Dai. Unexpectedly, Gu Dai’s amnesia saved her the trouble.
Su Ting spent the entire night searching for Gu Dai without finding any clues. Gu Zhe and Meng Xian stayed up all night as well, their eyes red with worry. Meng Xian, pale and exhausted, said weakly, “Do you think something has happened to Daidai?”
Su Ting tried to rea.s.sure her, “Don’t worry, Auntie. Daidai will be fine.”
Though he spoke confidently, his eyes betrayed his deep concern, especially since the police had also found no leads.
Su Ting said, “Uncle, Auntie, I’ll keep searching for Daidai. You should rest for a while.”
Gu Zhe shook his head, “We don’t need to rest. We’ll go with you to look for Daidai.”
Meng Xian quickly agreed, “Yes, we’ll go with you.”
Seeing their pale faces, Su Ting firmly refused, “No.”
Gu Zhe sighed and said, “I know you’re worried about us, but you haven’t slept all night either. Your body can’t take it. If you can endure, so can we.”
Before Su Ting could argue further, a loud noise came from the entrance.
Wu Zhen checked the surveillance footage, unsure of what to do, and showed it to Su Ting, Gu Zhe, and Meng Xian before asking, “Should I let him in, or…?” Wu Zhen wasn’t pleased to see Gu Ming and wanted to drive him away, but it wasn’t his decision to make.
Gu Zhe lowered his eyes and said, “Let him in.”
Wu Zhen sighed and responded, “Alright..”
