Chapter 32

Mobai hesitated for a moment and walked toward them with doc.u.ments in his hands. He saw the girl leaning on his chest without a clue what was going on in the worldshe was still sound asleep. He opened his mouth and uttered in a hushed voice.

President Zuo, theres news from the police. You were right. Those gangsters were sent by members of the Xu family. It seems that their sons were in cahoots with some gangsters outside of the family. When they confessed at the police station, they said that they received money from the two sons of the Xu family to teach Ms. Gu a lesson.

Zuo Hancheng held Anhaos hand which was hooked up to the drip, and with the other hand, he took the doc.u.ments from the police station handed over by Mobai. After he was done reading the records of the testimonies, he said calmly, The Xu family? I didnt plan to remember small characters like them. The business world is a volatile one, since they handle things without a sense of propriety, they will be eliminated sooner or later. They were not even worth my time nor effort. However, they did a good job raising two good sons. How dare they touch my person.

It had been a long time since President Zuos calm voice had turned so cold. Mobais expression was solemn and he remained silent as he stood humbly at the side of the bed.

President Zuo, Ive asked that the police handle the situation accordingly. Those gangsters were not only crippled, they wont be walking out from prison, ever.

As he said so, Mobai suddenly took out his phone and checked it. He then continued on, The Xu Real Estate tried to take a share out of several construction auctions. They also bribed the F Government quite a lot this year, and it seems like they are hoping that their business will skyrocket by the end of the year.

Zuo Hanchengs das.h.i.+ng eyebrows moved slightly and he glanced at Mobai. You know what to do.

Mobai nodded. Yes. Be rest a.s.sured, President Zuo. I will make Xu Real Estate disappear from A City within a week. I will also ensure that the Xu family pack their bags and leave with their sons, as far away as possible. If they dare do anything stupid, I will ensure that they truly learn a lesson. You will not need to handle this small matter personally, President Zuo.

The way Mobai handled things had always rea.s.sured Zuo Hancheng. He glanced at the doc.u.ments in his hand once again and put them on the table beside the bed.

As Anhao was in that dreamland of hers, she would unconsciously withdraw her hand that was in his. He tightly gripped onto her hand to prevent her pale little hand from being p.r.i.c.ked by the needle. At the same time, he pulled up the blanket that had fallen to her waist, covering up to her shoulders.

***

Anhao was almost shocked to death when she woke up at midnight. She was sleeping in Zuo Hanchengs arms!

She tried to calm herself down, and she looked around to a.n.a.lyze her surroundings. She could tell from her surroundings that she was in a patients ward.

She looked down and saw that there was a medical tape on the back of her palm, most probably from an injection. The pain in her throat felt unbearable and her head was still throbbing. The memories from before she fainted flooded into her head.

She furrowed her brows and lifted her hand, wanting to ma.s.sage her head which felt like it was going to explode.

In the end, as soon as she moved, Zuo Hancheng, who had initially wanted to rest for a while, opened his eyes. Youre up?

Hearing his voice coming from above her head, Anhao instantly stiffened up. At the same time, she felt him release his hold on her shoulders and leave the bed. He adjusted the pillow and supported her so that she could lean on it.

Anhao stared at the s.h.i.+rt he was wearing. The high-quality s.h.i.+rt had some faint wrinkles on it, clearly he had been holding her as she was sleepingfor quite some time too, by the looks of it. She could not help but curse deep down. This man would not go as far as to take advantage of her even when she almost died from a fever, would he?

The moment he helped her lean back comfortably, their eyes met. From that brief glance, he seemed to have been able to read the nonsensical thoughts that were running through her head. Zuo Hancheng looked at her placidly and said, When you were sleeping, you kept curling up on your sides, the nurse was not able to give you your injection so I had to hold you.

Why are you explaining yourself? I didnt say that you did anything to me. You explaining yourself proves that youre feeling guilty about something.

Anhao muttered but because of her fever, her throat was slightly inflamed, resulting in that duck-like croak. She immediately shut her mouth after she opened it.

After having slept for days, you must have lots of energy now to bicker with me, huh? Zuo Hancheng glanced at her with a rather grim smile on his face. Whered all that smugness go when you were pinned down by those gangsters?

The corner of Anhaos mouth twitched. She could not help but mutter under her breath once more, Just because you didnt see it doesnt mean it didnt happen, when you rushed over I was already dead tired

Zuo Hancheng ignored her explanation. I contacted your school. Someone got in touch with the two students in your dorm room. They said that you were under the rain for almost two hours a few nights ago.

Anhaos face stiffened and she silently grinded her teeth. Huang Amao and Chunchun, you two idiots! Why did you give them whatever they wanted?!

Gu Anhao. In my eyes, even though youre immature, you would not be unreasonably immature.

The look Zuo Hancheng was giving her was one that seemed to be a total re-evaluation of her as a person. He said coldly, Have you no idea how cold A City is right now? Being in the rain like that? Arent you someone who doesnt even see herself as a woman? Why would you even do something so unreasonable?

Motherf*cker!

Even though this man saved her just in the nick of time after coming back from abroad, his words did not have to be so vicious to the point where she was about to go ballistic! She had just woken up after all.

Anhao was so angered that she reb.u.t.ted, Youre unreasonable! Your whole familys unreasonable! How am I unreasonable just from being under the rain?

Why were you under the rain? He interrogated.

Got your heart broken?

Anhaos expression immediately froze as she did not quite know how to answer.

He could see that she was rather awkward and restless. Seeing that she was still a naive nineteen-year-old, Zuo Hancheng had said those words without giving it much thought. However, seeing the state she was in upon hearing his words, he furrowed his brows. I was right?

Anhao speechlessly lifted her head and looked at him. Please. Im still a patient and in a sickbed. Whats with all the questions? My head hurts so much!

Ignoring her whiny complaints, Zuo Hancheng did not intend to drop the matter at all. Which wild man caught your attention out there?

W-Wild man!

Anhaos mouth twitched violently. What wild man?

Im asking you which wild man broke your heartto the point where you had to bathe under the cold rain during a winter night with a temperature below zero degrees? Whyre you so heart-broken? Hmm?

Anhao stared at the expression on his face. Something was not right, like he was about to pounce on a cheating girl like her at any time and choke her to death. She unwittingly s.h.i.+mmied under the blanket, grabbed the corners of the blanket with both hands and said, I wasnt

Seeing that she was obviously guilty but was unwilling to confess, Zuo Hanchengs face turned dark. Gu Anhao, your husband went abroad for three days and you actually cheated on me?

Hey! Watch your words! Cheating on you?! I was with my cla.s.smates in the dorm every day and then I got sick! How could I have fooled around with this wild man youre talking about?

Does cheating mentally not count as cheating? If you want to explain, it would be better to just tell me the guys name.

Anhao was absolutely furious!
