Chapter 200: Backing
Translator: _Min_
Wu Zhen’s voice softened as he spoke, “Miss, you were once very kind-hearted, but showing too much softness now could make you vulnerable to others.”
Gu Dai responded softly, “Hmm.”
Relieved that his words had reached her, Wu Zhen finally exhaled.
Although he had been standing outside the door earlier, he had still been able to hear the conversation inside the room, leaving him puzzled about one particular issue.
After pondering for a moment and coming up with no answers, Wu Zhen felt compelled to ask Gu Dai, “Miss, Gu Zhi used to be afraid of you. Why did she suddenly gather the courage to confront you?”
Gu Dai lowered her eyes briefly before lifting them again, “1 suspect someone is backing Gu Zhi.”
Wu Zhen immediately tensed up and blurted out, “Could the person behind Gu Zhi harm you? No, I must arrange for more bodyguards to protect you; we can’t risk you getting hurt!”
Feeling the warmth of Wu Zhen’s concern, Gu Dai smiled and reassured him, “Uncle Wu, don’t worry, there’s no need for extra bodyguards. Whoever is behind Gu Zhi won’t be able to harm me.”
Wu Zhen knew Gu Dai was formidable, but he remained anxious about the issue, unable to let his guard down.
Seeing this, Gu Dai added, “I’m confident!”
After uttering these words, Gu Dai stifled a yawn.
Wu Zhen, who had been about to speak again, paused and suggested, “Miss, you’ve had a long day. It’s best to get some rest. I won’t disturb you further.”
Gu Dai nodded, “Uncle Wu, you should rest early too.”
Indeed, Gu Dai felt tired. After washing up and lying down on her bed, sleep swiftly enveloped her. Yet even so, she remembered to send a message to Chu Min.
Gu Dai: Check on how Gu Ming has been doing lately.
The next day, while on route to her company, Gu Dai received a phone call from Chu Min.
Chu Min, “Boss, Gu Ming recently unearthed quite a few antiques through tomb raiding. After selling them off, he’s come into some money.”
Gu Dai was somewhat surprised; she hadn’t expected Gu Ming to actually succeed.
However, fleeting success didn’t necessarily equate to lifetime achievement.
A faint smile crossed Gu Dai’s lips as she mused, “Tomb raiding is illegal. If word gets out, 1 wonder what sort of predicament Gu Ming would find himself in.”
Chu Min, “Understood, Boss. I know what to do.”
Gu Dai acknowledged briefly, then added, “Keep an extra eye on Gu Zhi; see who she communicates with.”
Although Gu Dai’s voice bore a trace of amusement as she spoke, Chu Min could sense an icy undercurrent upon hearing her words.
It seemed the boss was getting serious this time.
Chu Min was a bit puzzled, though, “Boss, didn’t you bring Gu Zhi into the villa? Why are you still investigating her?”
Gu Dai spoke softly, “Because I haven’t restricted Gu Zhi’s freedom, and she’ll likely want to leave soon. I’ll let her go when she does.”
Chu Min didn’t understand why Gu Dai would allow Gu Zhi to leave, but he accepted the answer without question, “Alright.”
Initially, Gu Dai had suspected that the person behind Gu Zhi might be Gu Ming.
But upon further reflection, she doubted Gu Ming had enough influence to strengthen Gu Zhi to such an extent. This meant someone else was involved, and letting Gu Zhi go would be the best way to draw that person out.
After she hung up the call, she arrived at her company. As she entered, she noticed the receptionist at the front desk glancing her way.
As usual, Gu Dai greeted her, “Morning.”
The receptionist replied, “Good morning, Chairwoman Gu.”
Catching a hint of unease on the receptionist’s face, Gu Dai inquired, “Is something wrong?”
The receptionist quickly responded, “Chairwoman Gu, the young master from Zhou Corporation is here.”
Gu Dai nodded and said, “Hmm, that’s fine. I’d arranged to discuss a partnership with Zhou Ci today. I just didn’t expect him to arrive so early.”
The receptionist pursed her lips before continuing, “Chairwoman Gu, it’s not just Young Master Zhou Ci; the President of Song Corporation, Song Ling, is also here.”
When she heard the name Song Ling, her eyebrows tightened, and a flicker of annoyance flashed through her eyes.
Noticing this, the receptionist hurriedly explained, “Chairwoman Gu, 1 tried to stop Mr. Song, but he’s too imposing; I couldn’t hold him back.”
Gu Dai responded softly, “It’s alright, focus on your work. I’ll go see what’s going on.”
Exiting the elevator, Gu Dai saw Song Ling and Zhou Ci sitting on the sofas in the lobby. Intriguingly, a notably large distance separated the two men..
