Chapter 286: Gu Dai Fainted
Translator: _Min_ |
Gu Dai was knocked to the ground, and as she turned her head towards the black license plate of the car that had swiftly departed after hitting her, she staggered to her feet and walked towards the several people lying on the ground.
Her face frosty, Gu Dai coldly asked, “Who arranged for the car?”
The leader, trembling and stammering, looked at Gu Dai’s chin and replied, “I… I don’t know anything about the car… Ah!”
Gu Dai stepped on him and demanded again, “Who arranged for the car?”
With increasing pressure from Gu Dai’s foot, the leader’s face turned pale with pain. Clenching his jaw to prevent himself from howling in agony, his mouth filled with the taste of metal.
Fearing his bones would break and he would become disabled if he didn’t speak, he hurriedly confessed, “I’ll talk, I’ll talk. I arranged for the first car, but I don’t know who arranged the second one!”
Gu Dai withdrew her foot, her gaze sweeping over the others lying on the ground.
Seeing their pale faces, frightened by the scene they had just witnessed, and their refusal to lie under Gu Dai’s intimidating gaze, they all shook their heads, indicating they hadn’t arranged it.
Convinced they were not lying, Gu Dai turned and swiftly left.
Her head spinning increasingly, she fainted as soon as she entered a nearby hospital.
Song Ling watched Gu Dai on the hospital bed, his heart still racing from the memory of her collapsing and the hours she spent in emergency surgery.
Zhao Xuan, noticing Song Ling’s worried gaze, sighed helplessly and said, “President Song, it seems you are quite concerned about Miss Gu.”
Song Ling, his gaze lowered, did not respond to Zhao Xuan’s remark.
Concerned…
Song Ling recalled how tense and afraid he had been while Gu Dai was in surgery, fearing she might not wake up, as well as the crazy and lunatic thoughts that were racing in his mind.
Yet, despite his concern, Gu Dai’s attitude towards him was cold, and there were many others who cared for her. She didn’t need him.
Rubbing his aching temples, Song Ling was interrupted by Zhao Xuan’s concerned voice, “President Song, do you have a headache? Hang in there; I’ll go find a doctor right away!”
Song Ling stopped him, “No need.”
He had come to the hospital for his headache, but the doctors were unable to cure it, only providing temporary relief.
He found the fragrance of the Peace Amulet more effective than medication.
Chu Min hurried to Gu Dai’s bedside, turning to Zhao Xuan, “Is she badly injured? What did the doctor say?”
Zhao Xuan replied, “Miss Gu suffered a head injury, but it’s not serious. She will recover.”
Chu Min, noticing Song Ling, frowned and asked warily, “Why are you here?”
Song Ling glanced at Chu Min, then looked away, “Just happened to be here.”
Zhao Xuan watched nervously, fearing a confrontation.
Chu Min, remembering Song Ling’s recent behavior, concluded he wouldn’t harm Gu Dai. Also with Gu Dai injured, she needed someone to care for her.
“I have something to attend to. Please take care of boss for now. I’ll be back soon. Contact me if anything happens,” Chu Min said seriously.
Song Ling simply responded with a “Hmm.”
After Chu Min left the hospital, he got into his car and made a phone call.
“How is it? Did you find out what happened to her?” he asked urgently.
“Brother Chu, we’ve got the information. I’m sending it to you now,” came the reply.
Chu Min quickly scanned the details and, seething with anger, commanded, “Call the police right now, get them all jailed!”
The audacity of someone to hit someone with a car, he thought, they are going to face the consequences.
After the call, Chu Min contacted internationally renowned doctors to examine Gu Dai, considering her previous head injury and the possibility of lingering effects. It seemed prudent to have her examined by several experts.
In a dimly lit alleyway, Wen Ye anxiously paced back and forth, repeatedly checking his watch.
The agreed time had passed, yet the person hadn’t shown up. Could his plan to target Gu Dai have been exposed?
No, no, that couldn’t be it, he thought, quickly dismissing the idea. For his plan to succeed, he had employed the most powerful organization in Chuanchen.
Suddenly, footsteps approached, followed by a hoarse voice, “The plan didn’t work..”
