Cui Song chuckled lightly and stated, “That’s wonderful! My painting isn’t here now. It should probably arrive the day after tomorrow.”
Gu Dai bobbed her head repeatedly in agreement.
She then cast a glance at Song Ling’s party, then back at Cui Song. The internal unease prompted her to whisper, “Truthfully, I’m not a natural talent. It’s my early exposure to art that enabled my understanding.”
Cui Song grasped at once that Gu Dai’s story had many hidden layers. Regardless, he responded, “Even if you have been studying since childhood, your talent is undeniable. Many of my friends, professional painters for decades, can’t comprehend my master’s paintings.”
Finally relaxed, Gu Dai said her goodbyes to Cui Song and departed unburdened.
Song Ling’s gaze followed Gu Dai’s retreating figure.
Jiang Yue practically ground her teeth into dust, “Brother Song Ling, 1 didn’t see it because…”
Song Ling interrupted Jiang Yue mid-sentence, announcing, “I have some company matters to address,” and promptly exited the exhibit hall.
Upon Song Ling’s exit, he observed that Gu Dai had already boarded a car. He withdrew his gaze as the taxi vanished from sight, pulled out his phone, and messaged Zhao Xuan: Gu Dai’s identity isn’t straightforward. Investigate her thoroughly from three years ago!
At this point, Gu Dai was unaware of Song Ling’s investigation of her. Even if she had been, it wouldn’t have mattered, as she wouldn’t let him discover anything!
After getting on the taxi, she messaged Chu Min, advising him to keep tabs on Wang Lan.
Based on her three years of lost memory and her interactions with Wang Lan, she anticipated that a cash-strapped Wang Lan would surely resort to some scheme.
Chu Min promptly responded to Gu Dai’s message: Got it, boss!
Gu Dai pocketed her phone and stared out the car window.
After recognizing the buildings outside, her eyes narrowed threateningly. She turned to the driver and asked, her voice icy, “Who sent you here?”
Sun Yang didn’t anticipate Gu Dai’s sharp intuition and her quick realization that something was amiss. Since they did not reach the destination yet, he had no choice but to lock the car doors and awkwardly explain, “I’m just an ordinary driver. Nobody sent me here.”
Gu Dai retracted her gaze, didn’t inquire further, and spotted a water bottle next to her. She asked, “I’m quite thirsty. May I drink this water?”
Sun Yang responded affirmatively, “Absolutely!”
Gu Dai unscrewed the water bottle, took a sip, and then held her forehead, complaining in a daze, “Why do 1 feel somewhat dizzy?”
Keeping an eye on the situation in the back, Sun Yang noticed Gu Dai had completely passed out. A sinister smile curled the corners of his mouth as he sneered, “This woman is truly naive. She drank the water laced with sleeping pills without any persuasion.”
Twenty minutes later, the car halted at the gate of a deserted factory.
Sun Yang exited the car and dashed inside, announcing, “Boss, I’ve brought the person.”
Shortly, a man with a facial scar appeared beside Sun Yang.
Sun Hai went to the car, turned around, and slapped Sun Yang, bellowing, “Where is the person?”
“She’s in the car,” Sun Yang, clutching his slapped face, moved closer to check but found the car empty. He couldn’t believe his eyes and blurted out, “She was here just a moment ago, she can’t have disappeared!”
Sun Yang clambered into the car through the window and searched every spots he could think about, all while Sun Hai cursed and occasionally struck Sun Yang in fury.
A short distance away, Gu Dai, leaning against a massive tree with her arms crossed, couldn’t bear to watch the buffoonery any longer and casually interrupted them. “Stop searching, because I’m outside the car.”
Sun Yang looked puzzled, “But you drank the water with sleeping pills. How could you be awake?”
Gu Dai clarified, “1 didn’t drink it. I was pretending.”
Touching on the subject of sleeping pills, Gu Dai couldn’t resist commenting, “Have you ever seen regular water with a bunch of white powder?”
Sun Hai instantly kicked Sun Yang, swearing, “You idiot!”
Sun Hai’s face turned menacing as he glared at Gu Dai, his voice laced with threat, “Since you revealed yourself, don’t blame us for being rude!”
“Wait.” Gu Dai halted them, “If you tell me who sent you, 1 promise not to harm you.”
Sun Hai and Sun Yang exchanged glances, broke into loud laughter, and ridiculed her further, “Are you joking with us? Do you believe we, two grown men, would fear you, a woman?”
