Chapter 10o: The Mastermind

Meng Zhi noticed Gu Dai’s unease almost immediately and reached for the glass of water on the table. He lifted it to her lips and comforted her, “Daidai, don’t think about it. It’s all in the past. 1 will always be by your side in the future, so you won’t have to go through these things again.”

Gu Dai took the water and drank several large gulps, only then regaining her composure. She softly spoke to Meng Zhi, who was worried about her, “Third Brother, don’t worry, I’m fine.”

Seeing Gu Dai’s pale face had indeed improved, Meng Zhi finally relaxed.

Gu Dai’s gaze fell on Su He, inscrutable and mysterious, making him feel a chill down his spine. She finally spoke lightly, “I can let you go. But once you leave, you should know what to say and what not to say.”

Su He’s heart leaped with joy at those words, and he quickly nodded, “Don’t worry, little cousin. 1 will never speak out once 1 get out.”

Hearing Su He’s address, Gu Dai’s brow furrowed, and she said irritably, “Don’t call me that. Also, if you let this matter out, 1 have full confidence that my people can bring you back, without anyone noticing. You should have experienced this point full well.”

He had been in a crowded mall earlier, but no one noticed anything wrong when he was taken away. Even after all this time, the friend who had been with him hadn’t come looking for him.

Gu Dai looked at Lin Sheng and said, “Uncle Lin, have someone take him back.”

Lin Sheng hastily agreed, and with a wave of his hand called in several sturdy men from outside the door to carry Su He out again.

Su He was taken to the location, and only after watching the black car drive away did he gradually come back to his senses. He walked back to the mall where he had been earlier and found his friend, teeth bared, playing a video game.

Thinking of his recent experience, Su He strode forward and slapped his friend.

“What the heck, who hit me?”

Su He, with a dark expression, snapped, “It’s your daddy, me! Didn’t you notice

I was gone? Why didn’t you come looking for me?”

His friend was equally aggrieved, rubbing his sore head, his tone annoyed, “Didn’t you text me saying you were going to buy something on your own?”

Su He’s brow furrowed deeper as he opened his phone to reply, “When did 1 send a message to…?”

Seeing the glaring message on the screen, Su He was stunned. Recalling Gu Dai’s words, he couldn’t help but shudder.

Meng Zhi, seeing that Gu Dai had Lin Sheng send Su He away, frowned and couldn’t help but say, “Daidai, he’s clearly lying.”

Gu Dai nodded, “1 know.”

She had realized that Su He was not a good person, for he knew too much.

Meng Zhi, now even more puzzled, asked, “Then why not keep him here to figure out the truth?”

Gu Dai sighed, helplessly, “He won’t tell, and now that I’ve let him go, it’s easier to draw out the real mastermind behind this.”

Meng Zhi had always thought himself quite clever; this was the first time he felt intellectually inferior, as he understood every word Gu Dai said, but when combined, he couldn’t make sense of them.

Seeing this, Gu Dai still patiently explained, “1 always thought the cruise incident was Gu Ming’s doing, but after hearing Su He’s words, I’m starting to doubt that it was him.”

By all accounts, Su He, living abroad for years, should not have known about the cruise incident, yet he not only knew but knew the details.

And since Su He had long been associated with Gu Si, could she have been involved in that event years ago?

Meng Zhi roughly understood after the explanation. He looked at Gu Dai, who was still deep in thought, and didn’t want to disturb her. He looked down at the carpet stained red by Su He, and left the room.

Meng Zhi found Wu Zhen and whispered, “Uncle Wu, please arrange for someone to buy the global limited edition carpet later. Price is not an issue.”

Wu Zhen nodded vigorously and excitedly responded, “Okay, okay, I’ll arrange it now.”

Great, Young Master Meng is back!

Although the young lady had always been strong and could handle everything, her hatred was too deep, and her heart must have been in pain. Thankfully, Young Master Meng was now with her, easing her emotions somewhat..
