Song Ling’s heart was already filled with guilt, and upon hearing Wang Lan’s words, his guilt deepened.

Lowering his gaze, Song Ling spoke in a cold voice, “I’m not defending Gu Dai. It’s just that you were wrong in this matter, not her, so naturally, I’m on her side.”

“And even though we are mother and son, I won’t blindly support you because of our relationship.”

For the past three years, he had never once helped Gu Dai, and had instead caused her various harms.

Continuing, Song Ling said, “I’ve already rejected Sheng Xin. I’ve told you before, I’m not interested in her. Yet, you still brought her home. I don’t care who you’ve been involved with in the past, but from today onwards, you’re only allowed to stay at home. No more mingling with them!”

Wang Lan, feeling aggrieved, began to tear up and threw a tantrum, “How could I have given birth to someone like you…”

Song Ling, accustomed to Wang Lan’s behavior, looked at her with cold eyes and said sternly, “If you throw another tantrum, you can forget about getting any more allowances.”

Wang Lan’s words ceased instantly, and even her tears halted.

Song Ling cast a final cold glance before leaving the private room with a darkened face.

Wang Lan, infuriated, slammed her hand on the table, the pain causing her to quickly retract it. Looking at the empty private room, her heart was filled with irritation.

The door to the private room opened.

Wang Lan looked up and saw several waiters bringing in dishes.

Seeing Wang Lan’s contorted face from anger, the waiters trembled and cautiously said, “Ma’am, we’ve brought your dishes.”

Wang Lan frowned, “Brought the dishes?”

Recalling that these were the 800,000 dollars worth of dishes Gu Dai had tricked her into ordering, Wang Lan felt a surge of anger but couldn’t bear to let so much money go to waste.

After pondering for a while, she finally decided, “Pack them up for me.”

The waiter replied, “Certainly, ma’am.”

Wang Lan, recalling something, quickly called out to the leaving waiter, “Wasn’t it your head chef who was supposed to serve the dishes personally? Why haven’t I seen him? The menu had Feng Fei’s photo on it. I remember what he looks like. Don’t think you can fool me with just anyone!”

The waiter apologized, “Sorry, ma’am, our restaurant never has a policy of the head chef serving dishes personally to customers.”

Wang Lan insisted, “But I’m a VIP.”

The waiter replied apologetically, “Even for VIPs, it’s not possible. Our head chef only serves dishes to the owner.”

The waiter, not wanting to continue the argument, quickly excused himself, “Ma’am, we’ll go pack the dishes for you.”

Wang Lan’s eyes flashed with madness, and she whispered furiously, “The owner… Gu Dai, so it’s only for Gu Dai!”

She remembered boasting to Gu Dai about the head chef serving them personally and Gu Dai’s smiling response, and now felt increasingly like Gu Dai had been mocking her.

Feeling a burning sensation on her face, Wang Lan angrily took out her phone.

She called, “Song Yu, are you at home? Come back quickly, I need to discuss something with you!”

Song Ling, with a gloomy face, sat back in his car and asked Zhao Xuan in a cold voice, “How’s the investigation on Gu Dai and Meng Chuan going?”

Zhao Xuan bowed his head, replying softly, “I’m sorry, President Song, the time was too short, so I…”

Song Ling glared at him, “Too short? I gave you an hour. How are you handling things?”

Thinking of Gu Dai and Meng Chuan together ignited a fire in his heart. He yanked off his tie and threw it onto the car seat.

After taking a deep breath, Song Ling continued, “Any leads on Gu Dai’s identity?”

Zhao Xuan replied in a low voice, “None.”

Furious, Song Ling punched the car seat, creating a loud noise.

Zhao Xuan, hearing the sound, shrank back in fear.

He had grown accustomed to President Song’s temper whenever it involved his ex-wife, and as an employee, he could only handle it cautiously.

Zhao Xuan finally spoke up, “It’s difficult to investigate matters related to the lady.”

Remembering Gu Dai’s hacking skills, Song Ling calmed down.

He asked, “Did you find anything about the Legendary Doctor?”

Zhao Xuan’s heart sank as he replied, “No…”

Song Ling responded, “Keep looking! I’ll give you another half month. If you still can’t find anything, pack your things and leave.”

Zhao Xuan nodded vigorously, “Yes, yes, President Song, thank you for giving me another chance.. I’ll work faster!”
