nChapter 652: Unfamiliar Number

nSong Ling watched as Su Ting and Gu Dai stood together, feeling a sharp pang of pain. “No, Gu Dai, you can’t leave.”

nHe strode towards Gu Dai, reaching out to pull her behind him.

nSu Ting, noticing Song Ling’s movement, immediately stepped in front of Gu Dai.

nGu Dai took a deep breath, facing Song Ling with a serious expression. “Although I’ve forgotten what happened between us due to my amnesia, I can feel that I don’t like you. In fact, I have a sense of aversion towards you. I hope you won’t appear in front of me again.”

nAfter saying this, she took Su Ting’s hand and quickly walked out of the mall.

nSong Ling watched Gu Dai and Su Ting leave, his eyes filled with despair.

nWhen Wang Lan and Song Yu arrived at the mall, they saw Song Ling staring blankly at the door, while the employees kept their heads down in fear.

nWang Lan sighed lightly and approached him, saying softly, “Son, your actions are wrong.”

nSong Ling snapped back to attention, his eyes fixed intently on Wang Lan.

nFeeling the icy glare directed at her, Wang Lan shivered but maintained her composure and continued, “I know you genuinely care for Gu Dai and don’t want to hurt her, but taking advantage of her amnesia to deceive her is extremely shameful. Have you considered how you will face her if she regains her memory?”

nSong Yu nodded in agreement. “Brother, it’s not too late to stop now. Don’t make Gu Dai dislike you even more.”

nThough she wanted Gu Dai to become her sister-in-law, she preferred it to be a choice made willingly by Gu Dai.

nSong Ling didn’t respond to Wang Lan or Song Yu’s words.

nHe kept his eyes fixed on the two figures until they could no longer hold his gaze. Then he asked, “How did you know I was at the mall?”

nWang Lan and Song Yu were taken aback by the sudden question.

nWang Lan lowered her gaze. “I had someone follow you to find out about your whereabouts.”

nSong Yu confirmed, “Yes.”

nSong Ling tilted his head slightly, continuing, “Then how did Su Ting find me?”

nWang Lan and Song Yu were stunned.

nWithout waiting for their response, Song Ling continued, “Even if you don’t say, I know who did.”

nHis gaze turned to Zhao Xuan, who had been silent throughout. “It was you who revealed my location, wasn’t it?”

nZhao Xuan, having anticipated this moment, still felt a shiver of fear. After taking a deep breath and summoning his courage, he admitted, “Yes, I revealed it.”

nSong Ling’s anger surged. “Zhao Xuan, have you forgotten who your boss is? You really did a fine job letting Su Ting know my whereabouts. Get out of here and take your things with you!”

nWang Lan quickly interjected, “I was the one who called Su Ting and informed him of your location. This has nothing to do with Assistant Zhao.”

nSong Ling sneered. “But the one who told you was Zhao Xuan, wasn’t it?”

nWang Lan was about to speak in Zhao Xuan’s defense.

nBefore she could, Zhao Xuan said, “This was indeed my mistake. I’ll submit my resignation immediately.”

nSong Ling watched coldly as Zhao Xuan left.

nWang Lan anxiously said, “Zhao Xuan has been your executive assistant for years. How can you dismiss him so easily?”

nSong Yu added, “Yes, Zhao Xuan helped develop the company with you.”

nSong Ling responded coldly, “If it weren’t for his years of service, I would have fired him long ago. There’s no way I would have tolerated this until now.”

nWith that, he strode out of the mall. As he settled into his car, his phone rang with an unfamiliar number.

nSong Ling hung up and blocked the number, only to receive another call from a different number. After several attempts, he answered with irritation. “Who are you?”

nA female voice on the other end replied, “Who I am is not important. What matters is whether you want Gu Dai back by your side.”

nSong Ling fell silent. After a long pause, he said quietly, “Yes.”

nObsessed with his goal, Song Ling ignored Wang Lan and Song Yu’s advice. He knew that if he didn’t act while Gu Dai had amnesia, he might never get another chance to be with her.

nHe was determined to take action, no matter the means, to keep Gu Dai by his side. The future, when she recovered her memory, was something he refused to think about. All he wanted was to keep her close.

nSong Ling lowered his gaze and coldly asked, “How will you help me win Gu Dai back?”

nThe female voice replied, “Leave it to me. But I need your help now. I’m not sure if you’re willing.”

nWithout hesitation, Song Ling responded, “I am willing. Tell me what I need to do.”
