After Gu Dai reassured Meng Chuan that they hadn’t grown distant, he finally believed her and abandoned his sorrowful demeanor.

Meng Chuan glanced at the defeated men on the ground and declared, “I’ll have them sent to the police station right now. As for Zhou Gang, I won’t let him off!”

Gu Dai, sensing something amiss, quickly said, “Second Brother, I need to ask them a few questions first.”

Meng Chuan halted his call and responded, “Of course, Daidai. You can ask as many questions as you want.”

Listening to Meng Chuan’s exaggerated assurance, Gu Dai shook her head with a smile.

Turning to Yellow Hair, she asked, “Who informed you of my whereabouts?”

Yellow Hair, caught off guard, stammered, “We followed you here. No one told us…”

Gu Dai cut him off, stating firmly, “That’s impossible. I didn’t see your car following me at all.”

Yellow Hair reluctantly admitted, “It was Zhou Gang…”

Before he could finish, his expression shifted to one of slight relief.

Gu Dai, sensing something wrong, turned around and saw the three men she had knocked down now charging at her, each armed with a knife.

Meng Chuan stepped in front of Gu Dai, pulling her behind him protectively.

Excitement twinkled in Gu Dai’s eyes as she let out a light chuckle, whispering, “Don’t worry, Second Brother, I can handle them. Besides, I’ve been cooped up working every day lately, feeling almost like I’m about to sprout. They’ve come just in time for me to stretch my muscles a bit.”

Meng Chuan chuckled and agreed, “Alright.”

As Gu Dai was about to step forward, the three assailants were swiftly taken down.

Gu Dai, lips pursed and eyes void of enthusiasm, stared at Song Ling, who had appeared unexpectedly.

Song Ling, oblivious to Gu Dai’s displeasure, loudly comforted, “Don’t worry, I’m here to save you!”

He rushed towards Meng Chuan with the speed of a leopard, engaging him in a swift battle.

Meng Chuan met him head-on, and the two exchanged blows.

Despite their high skill level and fast evasion, neither managed to injure the other even after ten minutes.

At first, Gu Dai was worried, but she gradually calmed down and even figured out what was happening during the fight.

Stepping forward, she called out, “Both of you, stop!”

Meng Chuan and Song Ling halted at her command, turning to face her.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Upon hearing Gu Dai’s voice, Meng Chuan and Song Ling, as if on cue, ceased their actions and turned to look at her.

Gu Dai pulled Meng Chuan behind her and spoke, “Song Ling, you’ve misunderstood. Things aren’t as you think.”

Song Ling’s brows furrowed, his breaths shallow, as he pointed at Meng Chuan, “How have I misunderstood? Isn’t it him who brought people to attack you?”

Song Ling glared at Meng Chuan, unable to bear the thought of what might have happened to Gu Dai if he had arrived even a moment later.

Gu Dai felt a mix of emotions upon hearing Song Ling’s words, surprised that he would want to rescue her.

Seeing Gu Dai standing motionless, Song Ling urged, “Come on, let me take you home.”

Gu Dai snapped back to reality and explained to Song Ling, “You’ve got it wrong, he wasn’t with them. He was actually trying to protect me when they charged at us.”

Song Ling froze, reevaluating his actions, his voice filled with disbelief, “You’re saying he was trying to protect you?”

Gu Dai nodded firmly, “Yes!”

Song Ling’s expression cooled, his demeanor shifting.

Ignoring Song Ling, Gu Dai turned to Meng Chuan, her voice soft with concern, “Are you hurt anywhere?”

She had seen with her own eyes that they didn’t hit each other, but still feared she might have missed something, her heart racing with worry.

Meng Chuan smiled, “I’m fine, Daidai. With my skills, it’s not easy for anyone to harm me.”

Gu Dai felt helpless, but seeing Meng Chuan unharmed, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Meng Chuan’s gaze drifted to Song Ling, a flicker of coldness in his eyes, he asked quietly, “Is he the one?”

Gu Dai instantly understood Meng Chuan’s meaning; he was asking if Song Ling was her former husband.

All three of her brothers knew about her failed marriage, so Gu Dai didn’t intend to hide it, affirming, “Yes..”
