Chapter 267: Surveillance Video
Translator: _Min_ |
Gu Dai laughed and spoke, “Second Brother, Third Brother, I’m fine, don’t be alarmed.”
Meng Chuan and Meng Zhi had grim faces as they watched the video of Gu Dai busily cleaning the entire villa. How could they not be angry?
Seeing the smile on Gu Dai’s face only deepened their pain. They whispered, “Daidai, we are here. If you want to cry, just cry. Don’t force a smile.”
Gu Dai shook her head and replied, “I’m not pretending to be happy. Look at the comments section, the netizens aren’t even sure it’s me, and some are defending me.”
“The surveillance footage is so blurry; you can barely make out a figure, let alone anything else.”
“Yeah, with this quality, I could even claim the person in the video is my grandmother, not Miss Gu Dai.”
“Even if it is Miss Gu Dai, so what? I always thought the rich CEOs were aloof, but here she is, personally cleaning the house. It’s so down-to-earth!”
“Today is a special day, I share something in common with a rich CEO!”
After seeing the online comments, Meng Chuan and Meng Zhi were somewhat relieved, but still heartbroken over the many tasks Gu Dai had to endure.
When they were around, they wouldn’t even let Daidai carry a suitcase, fearing she might get tired. But in the three years at the Song’s, Daidai had to do so much.
Meng Chuan took out his phone, speaking softly, “Daidai, I’m ordering someone to find out who released the surveillance footage, and I’ll have someone beat up the Song family members.”
Gu Dai shook her head, refusing, “No need.”
Meng Zhi, confused, looked at Gu Dai, “Why not? Are we going to let them off?”
Gu Dai clarified, “Of course not! I just want to personally deal with those who bullied me. As for the surveillance, I suspect it’s Wang Lan who released it.”
Wang Lan was wealthy but only spent lavishly on herself, like clothes and bags. She skimped on updating the home surveillance, rarely checking it and keeping the control room locked.
So, it had to be her.
Meng Chuan, head bowed in self-reproach, said, “Daidai, it’s our fault that you’ve suffered so much these three years.”
Meng Zhi added, “Now that we’re back, we’ll definitely avenge you!”
Gu Dai smiled and nodded in agreement, “Okay.”
But there was one thing that puzzled Gu Dai. Her three brothers loved her so much, they wouldn’t have gone abroad without seeing her body.
She voiced her confusion.
Meng Chuan and Meng Zhi were taken aback, realizing they had overlooked this.
They recalled, “After your accident, we never stopped looking for you. But one day, Gu Ming said they found your body, and under Gu Si’s arrangements, it was cremated.”
Meng Zhi continued, “The body had been in water for so long, we couldn’t make out the face. Our minds were clouded, and we never suspected for these three years that it wasn’t you!”
Gu Dai lowered her eyes, softly speaking, “At the time of the cruise incident, Gu Si might have been involved too.”
Meng Chuan and Meng Zhi’s expressions turned cold.
Gu Si and Gu Ming were close, and she usually stayed abroad. But for Gu Dai’s sake, she had returned…
They exchanged glances and set out to investigate Gu Si.
Song Ling, sleepless all night, had red eyes.
Zhao Xuan, facing Song Ling at this moment, wanted to keep his distance but had urgent news to report. Bracing his inner turmoil, he said, “President Song, our company’s shares have dropped.”
Song Ling frowned, fixating on Zhao Xuan, “What’s the reason?”
Zhao Xuan shuddered in fear, “It’s because of a video.”
After Song Ling watched the video, his expression turned more and more serious.
He recognized Gu Dai in the video at a glance. Although netizens didn’t know, they speculated, even guessing that she married Song Ling and was forced by the Song family to do housework.
The Song family’s stocks plummeted as a result.
Zhao Xuan stammered, “President Song…”
Song Ling commanded coldly, “Find a way to reduce the video’s popularity.”
Zhao Xuan immediately complied, “Yes!”
Song Ling then called Wang Lan, accusing, “Did you release the surveillance video online?”
Wang Lan feigned innocence after a few seconds, “What video? I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
Song Ling sneered, “Your actions have affected the company’s interests.. Starting today, I won’t be sending you money anymore!”
