Chapter 637: Role Model

Upon hearing her subordinate’s report, Gu Si’s face immediately darkened. “Wasn’t Li Yuan known for being meticulous? How could he get caught? Did he expose us?”

Her subordinate responded, “No, he didn’t.”

Gu Si breathed a sigh of relief, “As long as he didn’t expose us.”

But her relief was short-lived as she considered that Li Yuan might still pose a future risk. “Even though Li Yuan hasn’t exposed us yet, there’s no guarantee he won’t in the future.”

Her subordinate quickly understood her implication and assured her, “I won’t let Li Yuan reveal a single word about us!”

Gu Si smiled with satisfaction and then instructed, “I’m preparing to return to the country. Arrange it for me.”

Her subordinate was taken aback, “You can trust me to handle it. There’s no need for you to come back.”

Gu Si replied coldly, “It’s not you I don’t trust, it’s that useless Gu Ming!”

Her prediction was not unfounded. She had barely hung up the phone when she received a call from Gu Ming.

“Little sister, I’ve thought about it for a long time but I still don’t know how to deal with Gu Dai,” Gu Ming admitted.

Gu Si sneered, “I’ll take action against the Gu family from my side. The rest is up to you.”

At the Gu residence.

Su Ting and Gu Dai were immersed in planning their wedding. They collapsed on the sofa to rest as soon as they got home.

Gu Dai yawned, exhausted, “I didn’t expect preparing for a wedding to be so tiring.”

Seeing Gu Dai’s tired expression, Su Ting felt a pang of heartache. He wanted to suggest that she rest while he handled the arrangements, but he met her enthusiastic gaze before he could speak.

Gu Dai, looking excited, said, “Even though it’s exhausting, thinking about the wedding day fills me with energy. Knowing that we did it all ourselves gives me a great sense of accomplishment.”

Su Ting swallowed his words and nodded with a smile, “Yes.”

Gu Dai finally relaxed, but not long after, she received a call from Gu Zhe.

“Daidai, something’s wrong. The company has been attacked by foreign hackers, and our tech team can’t find the problem,” Gu Zhe said urgently.

Gu Dai’s expression turned serious. “Dad, don’t worry. I’ll head to the company now.”

Though Su Ting didn’t know the specifics, he understood the urgency. “Daidai, I’ll go with you.”

Gu Dai nodded, “Alright.”

Upon arriving at the company, they found a group of people gathered around the computers, their faces tense. One of them saw Gu Dai and shouted in relief, “Chairwoman Gu is here!”

The others quickly turned and made way, “Chairwoman Gu, the hackers’ skills are too strong. We have no way to counter them. We’re barely holding on, but we can’t last much longer.”

Gu Dai glanced at the code on the screen. “Let me try.”

Everyone immediately felt a wave of relief at her words. They had long been impressed by her capabilities and believed she could handle the problem.

With a determined look, Gu Dai’s fingers flew over the keyboard.

Time ticked by, and half an hour later, the red warnings on the computer screen finally disappeared. Gu Dai exhaled in relief.

The people in the room also breathed a collective sigh of relief.

“Fantastic, I knew Chairwoman Gu would solve even the toughest problems.”

“Exactly, Chairwoman Gu is amazing, especially being so young. If I hadn’t seen it myself, I wouldn’t believe someone could be this skilled.”

“Chairwoman Gu is my role model. My skills are still too weak; I need to practice more.”

“Indeed, it’s our lack of skill that’s the issue.”

Gu Dai, noticing their frustration, offered words of comfort, “The hackers were well-prepared and familiar with our company’s systems. They sent top-tier hackers against us. It’s normal that you couldn’t handle it alone. It took me quite a while to resolve it too.”

Having rarely faced a problem that took her half an hour to solve, Gu Dai felt a sharp pain in her wrist, wincing as she realized it. The next moment, she felt Su Ting gently massaging her wrist.

Meeting her gaze, Su Ting softly asked, “Is this pressure alright?”
