nChapter 648: Daidai is Definitely Still Alive

nGu Dai’s gaze remained fixed on Song Ling, waiting for his response.

nSong Ling shook his head and denied, “No.”

nGu Dai was not convinced. “You’re not being honest. I want to know who I really am and what your purpose is in keeping me here!”

nSong Ling’s expression flickered with struggle before returning to calm.

nHe said coolly, “What I said earlier is the truth.”

nGu Dai frowned.

nSong Ling, looking serious, continued, “Your name is Song Chu, and we are indeed a couple. The reason I’m not letting you out is that you’ve just recovered from an injury and need to rest.”

nGu Dai asked, “Is that so?”

nSong Ling nodded firmly. “Of course!”

nGu Dai did not respond immediately. After a moment’s pause, she fixed her eyes on Song Ling. “I feel like I’ve almost recovered. Can I go out tomorrow?”

nSong Ling lowered his gaze. “Yes.”

nGu Dai was taken aback by Song Ling’s agreement, which was unexpected.

nSong Ling approached Gu Dai and reached out as if to pat her head.

nNoticing Song Ling’s movement, Gu Dai’s expression showed discomfort. She took a few steps back into her room, quickly closed the door behind her, and said awkwardly, “I’d like to rest a bit more today.”

nSong Ling stared at the closed door, took a deep breath to suppress his irritation, and asked, “Afternoon tea…”

nGu Dai replied, “No need.”

nSong Ling opened his mouth several times before finally saying, “Alright. I’ll go deal with work.”

nIn the study.

nSong Ling’s face was grim as he coldly instructed, “Ensure that no one from Su Ting’s side finds Song Chu tomorrow.”

nZhao Xuan wiped the sweat from his forehead, stammering, “President Song, there are people outside searching for Miss Gu Dai. I… I can’t…”

nSong Ling’s eyes were icy as he looked at Zhao Xuan. “Can’t what?”

nZhao Xuan trembled in fear, struggling for a moment before summoning the courage to speak the truth. “President Song, I can’t guarantee that Miss Gu Dai won’t be discovered.”

nSong Ling snorted coldly, “This is your job. You must complete it. If you can’t, you might as well pack up and leave!”

nZhao Xuan’s face turned pale, and his fingers clenched into fists. He looked at Song Ling with confusion.

nSong Ling noticed Zhao Xuan’s gaze and asked, “Are you wondering why I’m willing to let Song Chu leave the villa?”

nZhao Xuan nodded.

nSong Ling’s gaze remained cold.

nHe didn’t want to let Gu Dai out, but even though she had amnesia, she was still as sharp as ever. Keeping her confined in the villa would surely raise suspicions, so he had to risk taking her out.

nFeeling more agitated, Song Ling’s frustration grew, and he snapped, “Get out!”

nZhao Xuan left the villa with his head bowed, haunted by Song Ling’s fierce expression. Despite the bright sunlight outside, Zhao Xuan felt no warmth. After a long silence, he finally lifted his head and exhaled a deep breath.

nWang Lan and Song Yu had been waiting outside the villa. Seeing Zhao Xuan, their expressions brightened, and they hurried toward him, asking eagerly, “Assistant Zhao, the woman inside the villa is Gu Dai, not Song Chu, right?” Zhao Xuan pressed his lips together and answered sullenly, “Yes.”

nThough they had suspected as much, hearing the confirmation left them stunned and confused. “Why does Gu Dai seem not to recognize us?”

nZhao Xuan glanced at them, his eyes showing inner turmoil. He eventually made up his mind and decided to reveal more.

nSu Ting, exhausted, continued to hammer away at the keyboard, his eyes fixed on the computer screen filled with flashing code. The computer finally erupted in a chorus of alarmed red and loud beeps.

nFrowning, Su Ting felt the case was incredibly challenging after two days of investigation without any leads.

nThe phone rang—an incoming call from Su Ci.

nSu Ting immediately answered, asking urgently, “Have there been any results from the investigation?”

nSu Ci was silent for a long time before regretfully replying, “No.”

nSu Ting’s fleeting hope evaporated instantly, replaced by overwhelming disappointment. He slumped into his chair. “Your hacking skills are so advanced, and yet you still can’t find out who the perpetrator is?”

nSu Ci responded with a subdued tone.

nSu Ci continued, “The kidnapper is very cautious. From my investigation, there isn’t just one group behind this. They’re working together to cover their tracks, making the investigation even harder.”

nSu Ting was aware of this complexity and knew well how intricate the situation was.

nHe sighed deeply. “I’ll keep investigating.”

nBefore Su Ting could hang up, Su Ci called out to him, “Su Ting, do you think

nGu Dai is already…?”

nSu Ting interrupted firmly, “No!”

nSu Ci said, “But it’s been so many days…”

nSu Ting cut him off with unwavering resolve.. “Daidai is definitely still alive!”
