Gu Dai looked at Chu Min who was in tears and shook her head helplessly before asking, “How did you end up getting captured by Organization X?”

At the question, Chu Min immediately stopped crying, glared at Song Ling, and said, “It’s all because of President Song.”

A hint of embarrassment surfaced on Song Ling’s face. “I suddenly saw a familiar face and was caught off guard. Isn’t it normal to freeze for a moment?”

Gu Dai frowned, “What exactly happened?”

Song Ling turned his head away, looking gloomy and unwilling to speak.

Zhou Ci stepped forward and explained, “This time it was President Song underestimating the enemy. He thought he could handle the negotiations, but he didn’t expect the Organization X to be so cunning and set a trap to capture him.”

Song Ling glared at Zhou Ci, commanding in a deep voice, “Shut up!”

He then turned to Gu Dai, “I admit I was too reckless and failed to control my emotions, causing Zhou Ci to be captured. This mistake is on me, you can scold me if you want.”

Gu Dai glanced coldly at Song Ling and walked away towards her room. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Su Ting nodded at the three men, “You can choose any of the remaining rooms.”

After he spoke, he followed Gu Dai into her room.

Song Ling watched the closed door with a cold gaze, his mind replaying the sight of Gu Dai and Su Ting moving so naturally together, radiating an unending chill.

Zhou Ci, standing beside him and shivering from the cold, quickly put a hand on him to comfort, “It’s okay, at least Miss Gu isn’t angry with you.”

Chu Min crossed his arms and scoffed, “The boss not saying anything only means one thing—that you’ve been too foolish to even warrant her anger.” Song Ling clenched his jaw and asked sharply, “What did you say?”

Chu Min was unafraid and was about to repeat his earlier statement.

Seeing Chu Min’s expression, Zhou Ci quickly pulled him aside and pleaded, “Young Master Chu, seeing the goosebumps from the cold on my arm, please don’t provoke him anymore.”

Chu Min glanced at Song Ling’s grim face, scoffed disdainfully, and then also turned to head to his room.

The plane slowly descended into Capital City.

Fu Jing felt both unfamiliar and nostalgic about this place; she hadn’t been back since Li Yuan took her away, and much had changed in the country over the years, leaving her feeling quite bewildered.

Thinking of meeting Fu Chuan soon, a wave of anxiety surged within her. She looked at Gu Dai and asked quietly, “Can Fu Chuan accept me?”

Gu Dai looked thoughtful and replied, “From what I’ve observed of Fu Chuan recently, I believe if you approach him with patience, he will definitely accept you.”

Hope flickered in Fu Jing’s eyes. “Really?”

Gu Dai nodded earnestly, affirming, “Of course.”

Her phone rang from her pocket just as she finished speaking, and seeing it was a call from the police, her brow furrowed, a bad premonition stirring within her.

The police officer’s apologetic voice came through, “Miss Gu, we didn’t expect Li Yuan to escape while we were not looking… Rest assured, we will use all available resources to recapture him, but we are worried he might seek revenge. You must be careful.”

Gu Dai responded after a moment’s pause, “Okay, I understand.”

After a brief silence, she asked, “When did Li Yuan escape?”

The officer’s voice lowered, “Four hours ago… he escaped with the help of some of his captured subordinates.”

Gu Dai, having braced herself for such possibilities, responded calmly, “Make sure he is recaptured.”

“We will,” the officer promised quickly.

Fu Jing, not having heard the specifics of the call but understanding the gist from Gu Dai’s side of the conversation, felt a sinking feeling, “Li Yuan hasn’t been too involved in the Capital over the past few years, but he still has some people here; he will definitely arrange for someone to come after us.”

Gu Dai nodded, “We need to arrange for more protection around us.”

Hearing this, Su Ting immediately made a call to arrange for more security.

Fu Jing still felt uneasy, “I still have a bad feeling.”

Pushing down her anxiety, she looked at Gu Dai, “Can I go see Fu Chuan now?”

Understanding a mother’s eagerness to see her child, Gu Dai nodded and replied, “Fu Chuan should be rehearsing at the company right now. I’ll take you there.”

Fu Jing nodded eagerly, “Okay!”
