Chapter 646: The One Behind This

Yang Gao looked at Su Ting with a pained expression, noting his pale face and the redness in his eyes.

Su Ting had been tirelessly searching for Gu Dai’s whereabouts while also managing the company, leaving him no time to rest. He was now operating solely on sheer willpower.

After Su Ting closed his laptop, Yang Gao stepped forward and urged, “President Su, you should take a break. Your body won’t hold up much longer.”

Su Ting understood that Yang Gao meant well, but he shook his head. “I’ll rest after I find Daidai.”

As Su Ting spoke, his heart ached. They had been searching for several days without any leads, and he feared that Gu Dai might be in danger.

Yang Gao, seeing Su Ting’s exhausted face, wanted to persuade him to rest but knew that unless Gu Dai was found, Su Ting would not take a break.

Yang Gao’s phone buzzed, and after reading a message from his subordinate, his eyes lit up with excitement. “President Su, we’ve found the driver of the car that hit Miss Gu Dai.”

Su Ting’s pupils widened. “Where is he now?”

In the pitch-dark underground parking garage, Yang Gao opened the door and stepped aside for Su Ting to enter first.

Inside the room, a middle-aged man huddled on the floor, shivering and groaning in pain.

Yang Gao cleared his throat as he entered and explained, “My men said Liu Nian wasn’t very cooperative, so we had to use some force.”

Su Ting’s expression remained unchanged as he responded calmly, “I see.”

Even if Liu Nian had been cooperative, Su Ting wouldn’t have spared him after the incident with Gu Dai.

Seeing Su Ting, the subordinates quickly splashed water on Liu Nian’s face to wake him up.

Choking violently, Liu Nian’s eyes widened in fear as he saw Su Ting. He stammered, “Y-you, who are you? Why did you capture me? This is illegal. I’ll call the police and have them arrest you all!”

Ignoring Liu Nian’s outburst, Su Ting coldly asked, “Where is Daidai now?”

Liu Nian wanted to continue pleading, but under Su Ting’s icy gaze, he was instantly subdued. His mind cleared, and he shook his head vigorously. “No, I don’t know. I don’t know anyone named Daidai. Please let me go.”

Su Ting stared coldly at Liu Nian. “You do know.”

Liu Nian was about to deny it but was warned by Su Ting’s penetrating gaze. He hesitated, then whispered, “Are you talking about Miss Gu Dai?”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Feigning realization, Liu Nian continued, “I definitely know Miss Gu Dai. She’s quite famous online. Even though I haven’t seen her in person, I know who she is… Ah!”

Yang Gao retracted the baton he had used on Liu Nian and said flatly, “I suggest you think carefully before speaking. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being less courteous.”

Feeling the searing pain, Liu Nian was terrified and quickly admitted, “I have seen Gu Dai, but I don’t know where she went.”

Su Ting’s red-rimmed eyes fixed on Liu Nian.

Liu Nian, trembling, begged, “I’ve told you everything I know. Please, let me go.”

Su Ting demanded, “You hit Daidai, so how could you not know where she went afterward?”

Liu Nian hastily explained, “I really don’t know. I was just told to hit the car that Gu Dai was in. After that, I had no involvement.”

Su Ting’s voice turned colder. “Who gave you the orders?”

Liu Nian instinctively wanted to speak but suddenly stopped, shaking his head and saying, “I only received orders and don’t know who was behind them.”

A dark glint flashed in Su Ting’s eyes. “Are you sure you don’t know?”

Liu Nian avoided Su Ting’s gaze and stubbornly insisted, “I truly don’t know.”

Su Ting signaled Yang Gao with his eyes.

Yang Gao nodded in understanding. “Don’t worry, President Su. I’ll make sure he talks..”
