Chapter 1259: Reaching Too Far

Pei Zhe took Mu Anhan back to his private residence, where he rarely returned, to the extent that even the people at the President Mansion almost didn’t know about it.

He covered her with a quilt and turned off the lights in the room.

He walked out, went to the yard, sat on the chair, and lit a cigarette.

...

Life Research Science Academy.

When Gu Xiaozhan arrived, Mu Anye had already arranged the operating room.

"Have you thought it over?" Mu Anye asked him, "Your paranoia and irascibility, because of the brain injury, will only become more severe than before."

Gu Xiaozhan was now calm, almost like an old monk. Was this the life he wanted?

"I’ve thought it over, you can start!"

Mu Anye raised an eyebrow, "Actually, I’ve improved the chip a bit. Do you want to try it..."

"No!" Gu Xiaozhan interrupted her.

He had once worried endlessly about hurting Mu Anhan, but what was the result?

He was still the man who hurt her the most.

He didn’t want any chip now; he just wanted to face the one he loved most with his true self.

Mu Anye picked up the gleaming scalpel, "Do you trust me so much?"

"I trust Han Han." Gu Xiaozhan knew that if something happened to him, Mu Anhan wouldn’t let anyone off the hook.

"Let’s start!" Mu Anye instructed the anesthetist.

As the sharp scalpel neatly cut into Gu Xiaozhan’s cerebral cortex, a tiny chip was revealed, embedded within.

Mu Anye recorded the whole process, took it out and placed it in a container. She looked at the wound, so small that it didn’t need stitches, and the new wound would heal by tomorrow.

She put down the instruments and left gracefully.

The anesthesia quickly faded, and Gu Xiaozhan stood up, showing no abnormality from usual.

Lie Huo had been waiting beside him for him to wake up, "Mr. Gu, do you feel any discomfort?"

"I’m fine." Gu Xiaozhan’s expression was completely cold and emotionless.

Lie Huo was somewhat excited, "Mr. Gu, you’re back!"

Gu Xiaozhan just gave him a cold glance.

He was still brimming with excitement, "That’s great! Mr. Gu... it’s just great that you’re back!"

"Let’s go!" Gu Xiaozhan walked out with large strides.

"Yes!" Lie Huo’s excitement hadn’t faded, "Where are we going?"

"Home." At this moment, the person Gu Xiaozhan wanted to see most was Mu Anhan.

Having been with him for a long time, Lie Huo understood his intention, "Madam hasn’t gone home."

"Where did she go?" Gu Xiaozhan’s expression turned cold.

Lie Huo quickly replied, "Madam was hurt by Mr. Gu and was taken away by His Excellency the President."

"Pei Zhe?" Gu Xiaozhan let out a cold snort, "His hands do reach wide, thinking he’s secure in his presidential position, and dares to make a move on my woman!"

In his heart, Lie Huo was shouting, it was Mr. Gu who pushed Madam away, how could it be Pei Zhe who took her? But this was not something a subordinate could say.

"Mr. Gu, I’ve already found out where Pei Zhe’s private residence is. Shall we go pick up Madam now?"

Lie Huo had people stealthily track Mu Anhan, so wherever Pei Zhe took her, he knew.

"Well done, no wonder you are someone I trained." Gu Xiaozhan felt he had performed excellently.

The car pulled up to a not-so-luxurious yet very quiet villa area.

When Lie Huo opened the door for Gu Xiaozhan, he immediately said, "Mr. Gu, Madam is still angry, coax her, but don’t hurt her heart again..."

Before Gu Xiaozhan could speak, the villa’s door opened from the inside.

Pei Zhe’s tall figure stood under the starlit sky.
