Su Ting reassured, “Don’t worry, Daidai. I’ve already checked on Fu Nan. His stage presence and charisma are improving steadily.”

Gu Dai felt reassured.

Then, Su Ting, with a smile, said, “Daidai, I have some good news for you.” Seeing Su Ting’s mysterious demeanor, Gu Dai curiously asked, “What news?” Su Ting revealed, “I heard that the UCMS Hacker Symposium is happening in the next few days, and it’s being held right here in the capital.”

Gu Dai, surprised, echoed, “UCMS?”

She was familiar with this organization, a collective of top hackers from various countries dedicated to maintaining stability in the cyber world. Their skills were unparalleled.

Su Ting nodded and asked with a smile, “Daidai, do you plan to attend?”

Since regaining her memory, Gu Dai had been busy with company affairs. But now that things had stabilized, she could afford to take some time off for the symposium.

After considering it, Gu Dai responded, “Yes, it’s a rare opportunity to exchange ideas and techniques with them.”

As she spoke of “exchanging techniques,” her mind drifted to a recurring dream.

In it, an unknown man patiently guided her, sometimes discussing ideas with her.

Who was this man, and why did he keep appearing in her thoughts?

Su Ting, noticing her distraction, asked, “Daidai, what’s wrong?”

Brought back to reality by Su Ting’s caring voice, Gu Dai shook her head with a smile, “Nothing. Let’s both go to the hacker symposium in a couple of days.”

Su Ting eagerly agreed, “Great!”

At that moment, the office door swung open.

Gu Dai turned to see Song Ling entering and frowned, asking coldly, “What brings you here?”

Zheng Ming followed, his eyes filled with uneasy glances towards Gu Dai.

Gu Dai instructed Zheng Ming, “You can go back to work.”

Zhao Xuan, panting, arrived shortly after. He hadn’t expected Song Ling to rush into the Gu Group elevator and sprint to the office, leaving the employees behind.

Song Ling’s cold gaze swept over Su Ting before turning to Gu Dai, “Can they leave us alone?”

With the office door closed, it was just Gu Dai, Su Ting, and Song Ling. Clearly, ‘they’ referred only to Su Ting.

Gu Dai, holding Su Ting back from leaving, said indifferently to Song Ling, “Su Ting is my person and doesn’t need to leave. If you insist on privacy, then I’m sorry, I don’t want to know what President Song has to say.”

Song Ling’s face turned pale, his eyes growing colder as he looked at Su Ting. His hands, hanging at his sides, clenched into fists, veins bulging.

Gu Dai remained composed, but her mind raced, pondering Song Ling’s purpose.

Had Sheng Xin informed Song Ling about the reduced contract, prompting him to come to her defense?

Song Ling stared at Su Ting, but the lack of change in his expression only irritated him more.

Taking a deep breath to compose himself, Song Ling finally spoke, “You know, my sister has been hurt. I’m trying to find the culprit, but the bar’s surveillance footage has been tampered with. I need your help to decrypt it.”

Gu Dai, while willing to help Song Yu, wasn’t someone who easily forgot past grievances. Helping Song Yu, and now being asked to spend her energy on finding clues, seemed unreasonable to her.

Gu Dai refused coldly, “I don’t have time.”

Song Ling, remembering how Song Yu had once bullied Gu Dai, quickly added, “If you help decrypt the footage, I’ll make sure Song Yu gets a lesson once she’s awake. She won’t bother you again.”

Gu Dai’s frown deepened, and she turned her head away from Song Ling, containing her anger.

Su Ting, with a cold tone, told Song Ling, “Educating Song Yu is your responsibility as a brother!”

Not waiting for Song Ling to respond, Su Ting continued, “If I’m not mistaken, you’ve promised to discipline her many times before, but it seems to have had little effect.”

Song Ling, initially prepared to retort, fell silent as Su Ting’s words sank in. After a long pause, he finally managed to say, “Grandpa doesn’t know about

Song Yu’s injury yet. If he finds out and we can’t catch the culprit due to lack of evidence, he will be heartbroken..”
