Mu Anhan’s mood was somewhat uneasy. She gazed at Gu Xiaozhan, her eyelashes trembling involuntarily.
However, she understood that the decision regarding Mrs. Qin was solely in Gu Xiaozhan’s hands.
She quickly walked to his side and asked sweetly, "Husband, are you tired? Do you want me to massage your shoulders?"
To take, one must first give.
This principle, she understood.
Before Mrs. Qin reached a conclusion, she had to seize the opportunity to first curry favor with Gu Xiaozhan.
Lie Huo was somewhat unaccustomed to this side of Mu Anhan; this was a time for serious matters, yet she began to act cute and coquettish.
Mu Shaochen, however, thought it was good. Gu Xiaozhan was an unapologetic workaholic; he needed such a cute girl like his little sister to rescue him from endless work.
Fortunately, Gu Xiaozhan had grown accustomed to the drastic changes in Mu Anhan; she would deliver coffee while he worked and even give him massages!
Such generous benefits, how could he refuse?
"Come!" Gu Xiaozhan remained solemn and cold, but upon seeing Mu Anhan, his demeanor gained a touch of gracefulness and elegance.
Especially under the afternoon sunlight, which streamed into the study from outside, shining upon his face, making him strikingly handsome and breathtaking.
Mu Anhan stood behind him, her delicate hands rested on his shoulders, applying slight pressure, massaging them.
As Gu Xiaozhan enjoyed the massage from the woman, he simultaneously dealt with matters, "Lie Huo, speak!"
"Yes, Mr. Gu, the investigation shows that the attack on the mountain road the madam encountered indeed has issues related to Mrs. Qin," Lie Huo said.
Even though Mu Anhan was massaging Gu Xiaozhan, her fingers were already disobedient.
It turned out, Mrs. Qin had betrayed her!
In her previous life, she was betrayed by a scumbag and a vile woman.
She never thought that living a new life, she would still be betrayed by those closest to her.
Lie Huo continued, "Mrs. Qin has a daughter who was kidnapped by a mysterious person, threatening Mrs. Qin that if she didn’t make the call, her daughter would be killed. The person forced her to choose between her daughter and the madam."
"Mrs. Qin has a daughter?" Mu Anhan and Mu Shaochen spoke simultaneously.
The siblings exchanged a glance, both unaware of this matter.
Mrs. Qin was from their mother’s family and accompanied her when she married into the Mu Family. After their mother died, Mrs. Qin treated them as her own children.
Lie Huo nodded, "I have investigated and confirmed that Mrs. Qin indeed has a daughter named Qin Nanxin, who is 21 this year. She is also one of Pei Wei’s mistresses!"
"Pei Wei again?" Mu Anhan hugged Gu Xiaozhan’s neck tightly. This man was constantly scheming against her husband.
It seems Pei Wei had laid out an extensive net, investing a lot to bring down Gu Xiaozhan.
Tonight, Pei Wei has even arranged a meeting with Gu Xiaozhan. Who knows what will happen?
Mu Shaochen squinted, "Does Mrs. Qin know?"
"Perhaps it’s Qin Nanxin colluding with Pei Wei to scheme against Mrs. Qin," Mu Anhan was still unwilling to believe that Mrs. Qin would actually betray her.
"Wouldn’t questioning the person caught make things clear?" Gu Xiaozhan ordered.
Lie Huo immediately said, "Mrs. Qin has already been captured. She said she wants to meet the madam. Qin Nanxin hasn’t been caught yet and might be hiding in a place arranged by Pei Wei. We’ll continue searching."
"Meeting is better; some things are best clarified face to face. Husband, what do you think?" Mu Anhan leaned over near Gu Xiaozhan’s neck, her orchid-like fragrance wafting into his ear.
