Chapter 639: Accident
As Gu Zhe watched Su Ting work, he felt increasingly satisfied, occasionally bringing him tea and snacks.
Noticing this, Su Ting spoke during a brief lull, “Uncle, you should rest. I’m fine.”
Gu Zhe shook his head in disagreement, “You and Daidai are already married. You should call me ‘Dad’ now.”
Su Ting nodded and said, “Dad.”
Gu Zhe responded with satisfaction.
Su Ting wanted to continue the conversation, but before he could, the computer screen flashed with red code again, forcing him to focus back on countering the attack.
On the road to Lincheng.
Gu Dai sat in the car, her eyes fixed on her laptop, checking the situation in Lincheng.
The car suddenly stopped, and Gu Dai looked up, asking, “What’s going on?”
The driver replied, “Miss, there’s a group of men in black blocking the road ahead.”
Gu Dai glanced out the window and her face darkened. She took out her phone and sent a message.
A group of men who had been following Gu Dai’s car got out and approached the men in black. Before they could speak, the men in black started attacking, forcing Gu Dai’s men to fight back.
Feeling frustrated, Gu Dai had been searching for a long time but could only trace the attack to a foreign account, without identifying the mastermind, who apparently had operatives even within the country.
The driver shouted in alarm, “Miss, more men are coming!”
Gu Dai snapped back to attention, seeing about a dozen more men approaching.
The people she brought were top-tier, but the opponents were also strong and outnumbered them, making the situation tough.
Gu Dai said, “I’ll go help them.”
The driver immediately opposed, “Miss, stay in the car. I’ll handle this.”
Gu Dai frowned, “But—”
The driver insisted, “As their leader, I can’t stand by. Plus, I’m stronger than they are. I can handle these men in black without you having to step in.”
He added, “If I can’t deal with them, then you can step in.”
Seeing his determination, Gu Dai relented, nodding, “Alright.”
After the driver joined the fight, the tide began to turn in their favor.
Gu Dai breathed a sigh of relief, but then a blinding white light shone into the car. Squinting, she saw a car speeding towards her.
“Bang—”
A searing pain shot through Gu Dai’s head, and hot blood trickled down her forehead. She could hear the chaos outside before her consciousness faded, and she slipped into unconsciousness.
At the Gu Group.
Su Ting, seeing the screen’s contents, sighed in relief. Then, his eyes widened in disbelief as he murmured, “I actually cracked all their codes.”
Gu Zhe, elated, patted Su Ting’s shoulder and praised him before instructing Zheng Ming to take the employees out for a meal.
Turning to Su Ting, he said, “Let’s go eat as well.”
Su Ting nodded, “Alright.”
He then glanced at the time and said, “Dad, Daidai should be in Lincheng by now. I’ll call to check on her.”
Gu Zhe, equally worried, agreed without hesitation, “Yes, call Daidai.”
Su Ting dialed, but the call didn’t go through, filling him with a sense of foreboding.
When the call was disconnected, Gu Zhe sensed something was wrong and urged, “Call again!”
Su Ting redialed, but several attempts later, there was no answer. Eventually, Gu Dai’s phone was turned off.
Gu Zhe and Su Ting exchanged a worried glance, their anxiety visible.
Su Ting said, “I’ll take people to look for her right away!”
Gu Zhe quickly organized a search party and tried to reassure Su Ting, “It might just be that her phone battery died. She’ll call us back soon.”
He was trying to calm himself as well, but he didn’t believe his own words. He anxiously added, “Let’s hurry and find her!”
In Lincheng.
A man turned off Gu Dai’s phone, then swiftly lifted her limp body from the seat and carried her to his car..
