Chapter 1329: Calming Mr. Gu

As a member of the Gu Family, doing something this disgraceful—how could it not make Gu Xiaozhan angry.

And she just believes whatever other people say.

Does her brain not grow in her own head!

"Sister-in-law, I don’t know what kind of drug it was either," Gu Xiaorui said.

"Do you still have any? I’ll take a look at it." Mu Anhan also guessed it must have been given to her by Lu Lu.

Gu Xiaorui shook her head. "It’s all gone."

"Is Lu Lu under control?" Mu Anhan turned and asked the man beside her.

Gu Xiaozhan nodded. "We’ll go see her in a bit."

Once they got to the hospital, Pei Zhe was sedated and was lying peacefully on the bed.

Looking at him like that, Gu Xiaorui was both worried and scared.

If anything happened to Pei Zhe, how would she ever face him?

Pei Zhe’s samples were collected and sent straight to the lab.

Mu Anhan personally oversaw things in the lab. Seeing how invested she was, Gu Xiaozhan couldn’t help feeling a bit displeased. "Just let them handle it."

"If I know what it is as soon as possible, I can figure out how to deal with it." Mu Anhan didn’t look at him, her eyes fixed on the samples.

Gu Xiaozhan snorted. "He has his own team. Are those people just there to twiddle their thumbs?"

Mu Anhan sighed. "That may be true, but this mess was caused by Xiao Rui. Emotionally and logically, I should be personally invested..."

As she said this, she realized the man’s tone was off. She looked over at him. "You’re not thinking I’ve got some kind of feelings for Pei Zhe, are you?"

Gu Xiaozhan’s lips pressed slightly tighter together—his sign of displeasure. His gaze clearly said: Aren’t you exactly like that?

"Xiao Zhan, I’ll discuss this with you later," Mu Anhan stared at him. "Go see what Lu Lu has to say first. I’ll be there soon."

Gu Xiaozhan glared at her, and she tiptoed up to give him a quick kiss on the cheek. That should do it, right?

Only then did he stride away.

Lu Lu had already been secretly taken into a car. Her eyes were covered, her hands tied behind her back, her feet bound as well—she couldn’t move at all.

"Who are you people? How can you just grab someone off the street? Is there any law left in A Country?" Lu Lu bluffed, trying to sound bold.

Gu Xiaozhan told someone to remove her blindfold. As soon as she saw it was him, she immediately started to sob and plead. "Gu Xiaozhan, save me..."

"Lu Lu, my patience is limited." Gu Xiaozhan stood by the car door. "The way you’ve been acting since you came back to the country has already used up every last bit of it. Be honest. What’s your objective?"

Lu Lu’s pupils widened instantly. "I don’t have any objective... I really don’t. I just like you..."

Gu Xiaozhan raised his hand, signaling her to stop talking. He was already sick of hearing that excuse.

Back when the chip was implanted, that Gu Xiaozhan was someone who cared about the bigger picture, loved A Country, and protected everyone from the president down to ordinary citizens. So he hadn’t really formed any opinion of Lu Lu.

But now that Gu Xiaozhan was back to normal, as long as Lu Lu wasn’t hurting the people around him, he could still turn a blind eye.

This time though, Lu Lu had used Gu Xiaorui to go after Pei Zhe. That was something Gu Xiaozhan refused to accept.

"You mean Xiao Rui’s situation?" Lu Lu struggled, trying to move closer to the side of the car, but the bodyguard watching her inside the car yanked her back firmly. "I just feel sorry for Xiao Rui. She loves him but can’t have him, so she resorted to this, hoping to bring two people who care about each other together..."

Gu Xiaozhan let out a cold laugh. "Teaching her cheap tricks like that—that’s what you call ’feeling sorry’ for her? How did you turn into such trash?"
