Chapter 536: Go Abroad Together

Translator: _Min_ |

In recent days, Gu Dai had been tirelessly investigating the mastermind behind the s.h.i.+p incident, yet not a single clue had surfaced.

Su Ting offered his a.s.sistance, Ive also had my people looking into it.

Gu Dai nodded in acknowledgment, Okay.

Her gaze dropped as she spoke softly, This incident reminds me a lot of one that occurred three years ago. I suspect it might be orchestrated by the same group.

Su Ting agreed, sharing her suspicions, Daidai, dont worry. Well definitely catch the person behind this someday.

Gu Dai simply responded, Hmm.

A thought then occurred to Su Ting, prompting him to ask, Daidai, how is the clean energy project going?

This project, signed internationally not long ago, had initially been successfully introduced to the market. Everything was proceeding smoothly until suddenly, a shortage of raw materials stalled its progress.

Gu Dai sighed, her voice tinged with frustration, We still havent resolved the issue with the materials.

Su Tings gaze lowered, The timing of this shortage is too coincidental.

Upon hearing this, Gu Dais eyes sharpened instantly, Are you suggesting someone is sabotaging us?

Su Ting nodded, I wouldnt rule out the possibility.

Gu Dai considered this, unsure whether the culprit was from Organization X or the same mastermind behind the s.h.i.+p incident.

She rubbed her temples in irritation, then declared, We cant keep going without these materials. Ill have to go abroad in a few days to import them myself.

Su Ting was taken aback, Go abroad to import

He frowned instinctively, Daidai, its too dangerous for you to go alone. Why not send someone else?

Gu Dai shook her head, Theres no time to waste. The clean energy project cant afford delays, especially if someone is indeed trying to sabotage us. I need to go myself to ensure everything goes smoothly.

Hearing the determination in Gu Dais voice, Su Ting knew he couldnt change her mind. Thus, he offered, Daidai, let me accompany you.

Gu Dai immediately refused, No, youre still recovering from your injuries. You need to rest.

Su Ting protested, Ive been resting these past few days and feel much better.

Gu Dai scrutinized him, Are you sure?

After a few seconds of silence, Su Ting admitted softly, Im not fully recovered, but Id worry about you if you went alone. I wont be able to rest easy. Please, let me accompany you.

Gu Dai, somewhat relenting, finally said, Okay.

Su Tings eyes lit up, I knew Daidai wouldnt leave me behind.

Gu Dai regretted her quick decision, wondering why she had softened so easily.

Yet, meeting Su Tings gaze, she realized she couldnt backtrack now. She resolved to arrange for extra protection for Su Ting during their trip.

When Su Ci entered the room, he immediately felt the harmonious atmosphere between Gu Dai and Su Ting.

He took a deep breath and greeted them with a smile, Su Ting, Daidai.

Gu Dai looked up, Youre here to see Su Ting.

Su Ci nodded, Yes.

After a moment of silence, he voiced his concern, Daidai, the person who kidnapped you hasnt been found yet. Its too risky for you to go abroad now. Gu Dai was adamant, I must go on this trip.

Su Ci remained opposed, Its too dangerous.

He couldnt predict when his father would act, and given his hatred for the Gu family, he was certain there would be no mercy shown.

Su Ting a.s.sured, Ill protect Daidai.

Feeling Gu Dais gaze on him, Su Ting coughed lightly and added, Both of us will return safely.

Gu Dai affirmed, Exactly.

Su Ci, suppressing the bitterness within, managed a smile, Thats good to hear.

Gu Dais phone then rang, with Meng Zhi on the other end, Daidai, grandma has heard about the incident!

Startled, Gu Dai quickly responded, Ill come right now.

She turned to Su Ci, asking for a favor, I need to go home for a bit. Could you please take care of Su Ting for me?

Su Ci, momentarily struggling to maintain his smile at Gu Dais formal request, a.s.sured, Daidai, its what I should do. Dont worry, Ill take good care of him.

Before leaving, Gu Dai instructed Su Ting, Rest well. Ill be back soon.

Su Ting obediently nodded, Okay.

After Gu Dai hurriedly departed, Su Ting looked at Su Ci and inquired, Brother, cant you tell me the thing youve been hiding?

Su Ci, pausing mid-way through peeling an apple, simply replied, I cant..
