Chapter 487: Su Ting is Injured

Translator: _Min_ |

Lin Hong’s expression froze for a moment before he awkwardly chuckled, “I see.”

Su Ting’s face was filled with a warm smile as he tenderly gazed at Gu Dai.

Gu Dai, turning her attention back to Lin Hong, stated, “Now, I’d like to discuss the project with you.”

Lin Hong had the waiter bring in some wine, suggesting, “Before we talk about the collaboration, let’s drink some wine and sing a song to liven up the atmosphere, then…”

Gu Dai interrupted him, “No need, let’s get straight to the collaboration.”

Lin Hong’s face gradually soured, but he still managed a strained smile, “Here’s the contract for our project. If there are no issues, Chairwoman Gu, you could sign it, and then we can proceed with the project.”

Gu Dai didn’t take the contract but said instead, “There’s no rush to start the project. I recall the factory where the products are manufactured is nearby. I’d like to take a look.”

Lin Hong tried to dissuade her, “There’s nothing much to see at the factory, and since you haven’t signed the contract, I’m afraid you might replicate my products after seeing them, so…”

Gu Dai, not interested in Lin Hong’s ramblings, cut him off, “If I can’t see the product, then there’s no point in signing the contract.”

She stood up and walked out.

Lin Hong was momentarily stunned before quickly following her, pleading, “Once you sign the contract, I’ll take you to see the product.”

Gu Dai scoffed, “Without any introduction to the product, it only suggests there’s something wrong with it. And if I were to incur losses and wanted to terminate the contract, I’d have to pay double the penalty.”

She paused for a few seconds, staring at Lin Hong before slowly asking, “Do you think I’m a fool?”

Lin Hong asked, “Are you sure you won’t sign the contract?”

Gu Dai didn’t respond to Lin Hong and simply left.

Watching Gu Dai’s departing figure, Lin Hong’s expression darkened, and he coldly said to someone nearby, “Since she’s not cooperating, arrange for someone to deal with her, teach her a lesson.”

In the past, whenever he deceived people, he would arrange for beautiful women and handsome men to accompany them, then ply them with alcohol until they were in a dazed state, compelling them to sign contracts. However, this time, he encountered someone who refused to cooperate, so he couldn’t be blamed for not being polite anymore.

Su Ting’s eyes sparkled as he looked at Gu Dai, “You just called me your boyfriend.”

Gu Dai nodded, “That’s right.”

After she spoke, her gaze fell on Su Ting and she asked, “Don’t you want to be my boyfriend?”

Su Ting hurriedly shook his head in panic, “Of course not, I just never imagined I’d get to be with you one day. It was something I wouldn’t even dare to dream of before.”

Gu Dai took Su Ting’s hand, “Then now you can dare to dream.”

Su Ting smiled and nodded.

Suddenly remembering something, he asked, “It’s getting late. Where should we go now?”

Gu Dai replied, “I booked a hotel when I came. We’ll stay there tonight.”

Just as Su Ting was about to respond, he noticed someone approaching them with a malicious glare directed at Gu Dai.

Instantly sensing danger, he wrapped his arms around Gu Dai and turned, only to feel a sharp pain in his side as blood began to flow.

Gu Dai’s pupils trembled, her gaze dangerously fixed on the man as she quickly took the knife from him and stabbed him with it.

The man looked at Gu Dai in disbelief, “How… how are you so fast?”

Gu Dai didn’t respond to the man, immediately checking Su Ting’s condition. After applying pressure to his acupuncture points, she sighed in relief, “Don’t be afraid, I’m taking you to the hospital now.”

Despite the pain, Su Ting managed a smile, “I’m not afraid, don’t worry about me, Daidai.”

Gu Dai covered Su Ting’s eyes, “Conserve your strength, don’t talk.”

When Su Ting woke up again, he saw Gu Dai sitting by his side.

Struggling to sit up, Gu Dai quickly pressed him down, “Although the wound isn’t deep, just a surface cut, moving too much could tear it open and make it worse.”

Su Ting nodded, then quickly said, “Daidai, that man was targeting you. I’ll check who’s behind him before I rest.”

Gu Dai replied, “No need, I’ve already found out.”

Su Ting narrowed his eyes, “Is it Lin Hong?”

Gu Dai nodded, “Yes, and my investigation revealed that his so-called project isn’t even his own; it was stolen from another company..”
