Tears of regret and remorse slid down Su Shen’s eyes.
Su Ci responded with a muffled acknowledgment, lifting his gaze to the police officers and then turning back to Father Su with a light comment, “It’s getting late.”
Su Shen, with his eyes downcast to hide the disappointment within, glanced at Su Ting and instinctively stepped forward, whispering, “Your brother has always cared about you in his heart. I beseech you to help him if he ever finds himself in danger.”
Su Ting’s expression became complex upon hearing Su Shen’s words.
With a soft sigh, Su Ting looked at Su Shen seriously, “Even without your request, I would do so.”
Hearing this, Su Shen felt reassured. He turned to glance at Su Ci, speaking feebly, “I’m aware of the absurdity of my actions over the years and the lack of affection I’ve shown him. It’s only natural for him to resent me.”
Recalling Su Ci’s personality, Su Ting pressed his lips together before saying softly, “I believe Brother won’t hold a grudge against you.”
Gu Dai, too, thought of the times she spent with Su Ci at the university, remembering his eager hope to find his parents, and gently nodded in agreement.
Hope sparked in Su Shen’s eyes, filling them with longing.
The police had stayed out of respect for the Gu family, but as time passed, they eventually had to speak up, “We need to go.”
Hearing this, everyone reluctantly watched him leave, remaining lost in their thoughts until the police car was out of sight.
Xu Huan and Gu Zhe, looking dejected, nevertheless tried to rally their spirits, waving over Gu Dai and Su Ting.
The two hurried over, asking softly, “What’s wrong?”
Xu Huan glanced at Su Ci, then back, whispering, “Su Ci’s heart must be heavy. Try to comfort him as best as you can.”
Turning their gaze to where Su Ci stood, he seemed lost in his dejected thoughts.
Gu Dai and Su Ting nodded, “Don’t worry, Grandma, we understand.”
With a nod from Xu Huan and Gu Zhe, they too retreated back into the house, seeking solace in its quiet.
Upon seeing Gu Dai and Su Ting approach, Su Ci spoke before they could, “I have to leave for the island project. My flight is in an hour.”
Su Ting was taken aback, “You…”
Without letting Su Ting finish, Su Ci interjected, “Don’t worry. I won’t do anything foolish on the island, and it’ll give me a chance to sort out my feelings.”
Gu Dai and Su Ting wanted to object, but meeting Su Ci’s determined gaze, they held back their words, advising instead, “If you need anything there, don’t hesitate to contact us.”
Su Ci nodded with a light laugh, “Alright.”
After ending a call from his assistant, he announced, “I need to head to the airport.”
Gu Dai looked around the empty living room, covering her racing heart, and sighed deeply.
Noticing Gu Dai’s slight irritation, Su Ting inquired, “Daidai, are you feeling alright?”
Gu Dai nodded gently and lowering her eyes, she whispered, “I never imagined that all the trials we faced as a family stemmed from a misunderstanding. And for some reason, I have this unsettling feeling that something bad is about to happen.”
Trusting Gu Dai’s intuition, Su Ting immediately responded, “I’ll start checking on the company and anything related to us right away, to nip any potential issues in the bud.”
Gu Dai nodded, “I’ll help you with that.”
Before she could take any action, her phone rang.
Answering the call, she heard Zhou Ci’s panicked voice, “It’s bad, Song Ling has been kidnapped by Organization X.”
Gu Dai remained unflustered.
Zhou Ci, catching his breath, continued, “And that man who always does your bidding, Chu Min, he’s been kidnapped too.”
Upon hearing this, Gu Dai’s heart skipped a beat, “What exactly happened?”
Zhou Ci explained, “I arrived late and don’t know the details, but it seems Song Ling fell into their trap during negotiations with Organization X, and Chu Min got involved somehow..”
