Caught Father Su

Gu Dai bent down to pick up the dagger from the floor, turned around, and held the blade to his neck, her voice cold as she declared, “You can’t beat me.”
A flicker of surprise passed through Father Su’s expression.
He had heard from his subordinates that Gu Dai was formidable, but he hadn’t taken those words to heart. He hadn’t expected that he would be unable to handle her himself, not even managing to touch the hem of her clothes before being subdued.
However…
A smile curled at the corners of Father Su’s mouth as he looked at Gu Dai and said, “Indeed, I underestimated you. I didn’t expect a woman to be so powerful. But no matter how strong you are, you’re still on my turf. Don’t delude yourself into thinking you can leave!”
Gu Dai responded with disdain, “Is that so?”
Father Su’s gaze bore into Gu Dai, his teeth clenched as he threatened, “You’re going to feel the consequences of crossing me soon!”
He looked up and called out to the outside of the study, “One, Two!”
As seconds ticked by, the study remained eerily silent, with no response.
The confidence in Father Su’s eyes waned a bit, and after taking a deep breath, he called out again, “One, Two, come in!”
Gu Dai, with her arms crossed, spoke lightly, “No matter how loud you shout, they won’t be coming in.”
A flicker of apprehension crossed Father Su’s eyes, and he looked at Gu Dai to ask, “What did you do to them?”
After he spoke, he glared at Gu Dai, “Did you not come here alone?”
After saying this, he shook his head in denial, “Impossible, you were clearly alone when you came. How could there be others?”
Gu Dai smiled and said, “I did come alone, but Su Ting took care of your men afterward.”
Taking a deep breath, Father Su bit his lip, “I knew there would come a day when Su Ting would oppose me. I should have stopped Su Ci from adopting him years ago!”
He scanned his surroundings, took out his phone to make an emergency call, and didn’t forget to look up at Gu Dai, “Did you really think I wouldn’t have a backup plan?”
Gu Dai shook her head lightly, indicating, “Of course, I wouldn’t think that.”
Seeing Gu Dai’s calm demeanor, Father Su assumed she was just putting on a brave face and sneered, “When my people arrive, they won’t let you off!”
Gu Dai countered, “Are you sure?”
Father Su nodded, “Of course!”
However, he felt something was amiss after speaking.
Gu Dai provided the answer, “I said I came here confident for a reason. For instance, I used hacking techniques to sabotage the security and communication systems of your villa, making it impossible for you to contact the outside world.”
Upon hearing this, Father Su’s gaze immediately fell on his phone, realizing that his emergency call hadn’t gone through.
His defenses gradually crumbled, a sense of despair slowly rising within him.
From what Wang Sui had described about Father Su’s character, Gu Dai knew he was meticulous and suspicious, not easily trusting others and often overconfident. Though he agreed to meet Wang Sui, he likely harbored doubts.
Moreover, given Father Su’s control over the island’s affairs over the years, a little investigation would reveal their relationship.
Gu Dai looked down at Father Su, knowing that despite the risks, she had to meet the mastermind behind the scenes personally and had more critical matters to attend to.
Father Su, looking at Gu Dai’s composed appearance, was infuriated, his eyes turning bloodshot, “I never thought I’d fall for the tricks of a young girl like you! This is a great humiliation!”
After taking a deep breath to calm himself, he said, “Tell me, what do you want me to do?”
Gu Dai shook her head, stating seriously, “I’m not here to do anything to you; I just want to talk.”
Father Su scoffed, “You went through all this trouble to catch me just to talk? Don’t you find that laughable? And do you think I would believe you?”
Gu Dai didn’t respond to his question but instead said lightly, “Have you ever considered that there might have been some misunderstanding in the past?” Father Su scoffed dismissively, “What misunderstanding could there be?”
Gu Dai pursed her lips and looked down, “We’ll talk about it later.”
Father Su sneered, “So, ‘later’ because you can’t think of any lies to deceive me with now, and you need time to come up with something?”
