Zhao Xuan pushed open the door and called softly, “Miss Gu Dai.”

Gu Dai’s brows furrowed slightly. After ensuring Gu Yin was comfortably covered with a blanket, she stepped into the adjacent, empty room to speak with Zhao Xuan. “What brings you here?”

After a moment of thought, Zhao Xuan replied, “President Song asked me to inquire if you need any assistance.”

Gu Dai shook her head, “No, there is no need.”

Zhao Xuan hesitated, then softly added, “According to my investigation, you might need a lawyer to help Gu Yin sue her father, Wen Ye.”

Gu Dai’s eyes narrowed, a hint of danger flickering in them.

Zhao Xuan continued, “The Song Corporation lawyers are among the best in the field…”

His words were interrupted by Gu Dai’s ringing phone.

“Is the lawyer arranged?” Gu Dai asked upon answering the call.

Su Ting’s cheerful voice came through, “Sis, don’t worry. Shang Sui has agreed to take the case.”

Relieved, Gu Dai exchanged a few more words with Su Ting before ending the call.

In the quiet room, Zhao Xuan could overhear the conversation. He instantly recognized Su Ting’s voice and the mention of Shang Sui.

Even though he already knew the answer, Zhao Xuan couldn’t help but ask, “Miss Gu, the Shang Sui you mentioned, is he the ace lawyer in the legal field?”

Gu Dai nodded, “Yes.”

Shang Sui, renowned for winning thousands of cases over decades without a single loss, had recently stepped back from the limelight. Yet, now he had agreed to take on Gu Dai’s case.

Gu Dai addressed Zhao Xuan firmly, “I don’t need Song Ling’s help. Please tell him to stop interfering and investigating me.”

Zhao Xuan then once again clearly realized Song Ling truly stood no chance with her.

Seeing Zhao Xuan’s dejected demeanor, Gu Dai curiously asked, “Why do you still work as Song Ling’s assistant, given how difficult he is?”

Zhao Xuan sighed, recalling, “After graduation, I joined a corrupt company. I didn’t receive my salary for two months, and even my savings were stolen.”

Zhao Xuan continued, “Fortunately, President Song helped me leave that company and even advanced me several months’ salary. That’s when I decided to follow him for life.”

Gu Dai understood, “I see.”

Zhao Xuan nodded, not forgetting to speak well of Song Ling, “Although President Song is demanding and has made mistakes, it’s mostly because he’s always busy with work and lacks emotional intelligence. He’s a good person. I hope you can give him another chance.”

Gu Dai responded softly, “The hurt he caused cannot be undone.”

Zhao Xuan looked at Gu Dai’s retreating figure, shaking his head with a sigh.

The next moment, his phone rang. It was Song Ling.

Reluctantly, Zhao Xuan answered, already anticipating Song Ling’s words.

“What’s the situation with Gu Dai?” Song Ling asked coldly.

Zhao Xuan relayed everything to Song Ling.

After a pause, Song Ling instructed, “You can tell her that we can arrange for our lawyers to handle her case…”

Zhao Xuan’s heart trembled slightly as he replied in a low voice, “President Song, I have already spoken to Miss Gu Dai.”

Song Ling acknowledged this, then instructed, “Now, arrange for a lawyer to understand the case. We must win the lawsuit; failure is not an option. Make sure to perform well in front of Gu Dai.”

Zhao Xuan opened his mouth several times, struggling to find the words to explain the current situation.

As Song Ling heard no response, his expression darkened, and he demanded, “Assistant Zhao, have you become mute? Can’t you speak?”

Summoning his courage, Zhao Xuan took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and said, “President Song, Su Ting has brought in Shang Sui to represent Miss Gu Dai in the lawsuit, so she has declined our Song Corporation’s assistance.”

After Zhao Xuan spoke, he felt a wave of relief wash over him.

The hospital room, however, fell into an eerie silence, a chill seeming to pervade the air.

There was no sound from Song Ling’s end.

A few minutes later, Zhao Xuan heard the sound of something heavy hitting the ground, followed by the sound of Song Ling’s heavy, anger-suppressed breathing. The call was abruptly ended..
