Gu Dai was overseeing the progress of the variety show. Ever since she replaced two troublemakers from the last episode, the rest of the crew had settled down. She felt quite satisfied with this change.

Silently following behind her, Su Ting dared not speak.

Ever since the confession last night, he was too nervous to talk to Gu Dai, fearing that she might reject him just like she did Song Ling.

Zheng Ming approached Gu Dai with a box in his hands, saying, “Chairwoman Gu, the courier said this was for you.”

Gu Dai raised an eyebrow in surprise. Her intuition told her that the contents of the box were not ordinary. “Take it to my office. I’ll look at it later,” she instructed.

“Understood,” Zheng Ming replied.

After arranging the variety show, Gu Dai returned to her office.

Su Ting, remembering Su Ci’s warning that someone was plotting against Gu Dai, quickly suggested, “Sis, we should throw away these strange gifts to avoid any danger.”

Gu Dai shook her head, “It’s okay, I’m not afraid.”

Seeing Gu Dai’s insistence, Su Ting softly offered, “Let me open it then.”

Gu Dai started to protest, “No…”

Su Ting continued, “Otherwise, we should just throw the box away.”

Gu Dai looked down, “There’s a faint smell of blood on this box. I suspect there’s something horrifying inside. You…”

Su Ting’s expression hardened, “If that’s the case, I should be the one to open it.”

As he finished speaking, he opened the box and was shocked to find a severed head. He looked up anxiously at Gu Dai and called out, “Sis…”

Gu Dai shook her head gently, “It’s okay.”

She reminisced about her travels through war-torn countries, where residents were gruesomely mutilated, their severed heads and bones scattered everywhere. Those sights were far more horrifying than this.

Examining the object, Gu Dai calmly stated, “This is just a well-made rubber replica, not a real human head.”

Su Ting observed it for a moment and, realizing it was indeed a fake, nodded in relief. Then he asked, puzzled, “But what about the blood on it?”

Gu Dai explained, “It’s been smeared on afterward.”

Understanding, Su Ting nodded, “I’ll have someone dispose of this.”

His thoughts were in disarray, unable to comprehend who was targeting Gu Dai and why his brother, who was alive, hadn’t come home. He wondered if there was a connection between these two mysteries.

After finishing her work, Gu Dai stood up, “Let’s go home.”

Su Ting stood up and followed her, “Sis, I think there’s more to this. Tell me wherever you go next. I’ll protect you.”

Gu Dai shook her head, “It’s fine. Don’t let me hinder your work. I can protect myself.”

Su Ting insisted, “I’ve already asked Zhang Zheng to cancel my appointments…”

Song Ling, watching Gu Dai and Su Ting together, felt a spark of jealousy and called out, “Gu Dai!”

Gu Dai frowned and ignored Song Ling, walking towards her car.

Song Ling quickly approached and grabbed her arm.

Su Ting, noticing this, quickly intervened and demanded coldly, “What are you doing?”

Song Ling, meeting Su Ting’s gaze, looked uncomfortable, releasing his grip.

He spoke lightly, “I have something to say to Gu Dai.”

Gu Dai turned to face Song Ling, asking calmly, “What is it? Speak up.”

Remembering the surveillance footage he had seen the night before, Song Ling smirked, “You asked me to say it, so I will.”

He paused for a few seconds, disdainfully glanced at Su Ting, and then loudly declared, “I already know about us spending the night together in the hotel.”

This statement caught the attention of many employees of Gu Corporation nearby, who instinctively looked over.

Su Ting, taken aback, felt a surge of anger and punched Song Ling in the face, whispering furiously, “I despise you, Song Ling. How could you announce such a thing in public, showing no regard for Daidai’s reputation?”

As Su Ting raised his fist to strike again, Gu Dai called out, “Su Ting, stop.”

Su Ting’s hand trembled, frozen in mid-air. He turned to Gu Dai in disbelief, “Sis, you’re defending him?”

Wiping the blood from his mouth, Song Ling laughed, “Gu Dai asked me to say it here. How loud I speak is up to me.. Aren’t you going to let go of me?”
