After hearing Gu Dai’s words, Zhang Zheng quickly responded and then hung up the phone.

Wei Ling hadn’t expected the truth to be like this. Anger flared up within her, fueling a desire to strike Gu Dai. It was only then that she deeply realized the numbness in her legs.

Wei Ling’s gaze toward Gu Dai was filled with animosity. “You actually dared to break my legs. I’m a model, and you’ve ruined my future career. I won’t let this go. I’ll hire the best lawyer and see you behind bars!”

Gu Dai’s expression remained unchanged as she walked toward Wei Ling.

Seeing this, Su Ting swiftly reached out, grabbing Gu Dai, and said, “Sis, don’t go. She looks like she might hurt you.”

Gu Dai whispered, “Don’t worry. She can’t hurt me. Don’t you trust my abilities?”

Seeing Gu Dai’s confidence, Su Ting gradually released his grip on her clothing, nodding gently, “I trust you.”

Yet, even though Su Ting had let go, his gaze remained intently on Gu Dai, monitoring her situation closely.

As Wei Ling saw Gu Dai approach, her eyes were filled with hostility. Her hands tensed, prepared to react the moment Gu Dai got close.

When Gu Dai neared Wei Ling, she whispered, “Do you want your leg to heal?”

Wei Ling’s tense posture paused, and she replied almost instinctively, “Yes.”

After all, she was a model. Her future activities depended on her legs.

But soon after answering, Wei Ling’s alertness returned. She looked at Gu Dai warily and coldly said, “I know what you’re up to. You probably want to use the promise of healing my legs to extract information from me, right?”

Gu Dai looked at Wei Ling appreciatively before saying, “I want to know who told you to spread rumors about me.”

Wei Ling showed a look of ‘I knew it’ before furrowing her brow in confusion, “Rumors about you?”

Realization dawned upon her. “You’re Gu Dai?”

Gu Dai nodded, “Yes.”

Wei Ling’s face displayed mockery. She scoffed, “I never thought Miss Gu would be this naive. I said I didn’t believe you could heal my legs, given that I can’t even feel them. Yet you still try with such a foolish… Ahh!”

Wei Ling was still speaking when a sharp, bone-piercing pain suddenly shot through her leg.

From a distance, Gu Zhi only saw Gu Dai approaching Wei Ling, unaware of what transpired between them, until a sudden cry broke the silence.

When Gu Zhi heard the scream, she shuddered in fear, a torrent of thoughts racing through her mind. Had Gu Dai lashed out at Wei Ling in anger? If Gu Dai found out that she was the one who spread the rumors, would she be spared?

However, since she had sent someone else to deal with Wei Ling earlier, Gu Dai probably wouldn’t suspect her, right?

The more Gu Zhi thought, the more terrified she became. Even though her current hiding spot seemed concealed, she was afraid that Gu Dai would spot her and make the connection. Panicking, she picked up her gown and carefully made her exit.

But as fate would have it, Gu Dai just happened to glance up at that moment, catching a glimpse of the sneaky figure. Narrowing her eyes, she immediately recognized Gu Zhi.

Gu Dai briefly cast a glance in that direction before turning her focus back to Wei Ling. “You feel the pain in your legs now, don’t you? Now do you believe I can heal them?”

Feeling the pain in her legs, Wei Ling was caught between pain and an ecstatic realization. She even slapped her legs a few times; after all, if there was pain, it meant that her legs could still be healed and wasn’t completely broken!

However, upon this realization, Wei Ling didn’t meekly reveal the reason. Instead, she retorted, “My legs feel pain now, so perhaps with some rest, I might be able to stand again. If not, I can always seek help from other doctors. What makes you think I would tell you the reason?”

Gu Dai chuckled softly, her gaze unwaveringly fixed on Wei Ling. “Because only I can heal your legs. No one else can.”

Wei Ling tried to brush off the claim with disdain, but under Gu Dai’s resolute gaze, doubt began to gnaw at her. Could what she was saying actually be true?

Gu Dai continued, “Even if you don’t believe me, there’s another thing you should consider.. Why do you think that after spreading rumors about me, you’d walk away unscathed? Do you think the Gu Group behind me is just for show? Do you think the team of lawyers I employ is just for decoration?”
