Mu Shaochen met Gu Xiaozhan’s gaze, "Mr. Gu, my younger sister grew up with me. She’s inherently kind. Once she comes to her senses, she will not only care for me but will be more concerned about you, Mr. Gu."
Gu Xiaozhan knew that Mu Shaochen was very fond of his younger sister. No matter how many misunderstandings Mu Anhan had about him as the third brother, hating him for working for Gu Xiaozhan, calling him a coward who seeks influence, Mu Shaochen never blamed her.
"Shaochen, how’s the investigation into the G&M perfume designer going?" Gu Xiaozhan asked.
"Mr. Gu, there’s no clue yet." Mu Shaochen dared not meet Gu Xiaozhan’s eyes, "The packages Pei Pei received had no sender and no courier, as if they fell into her hands from the sky. She placed the order online, and the other party used a virtual account."
Gu Xiaozhan slightly curled his thin lips, "What if we make another purchase?"
Mu Shaochen’s eyes lit up, "Mr. Gu, I understand."
"And the hacker Lao A?" Gu Xiaozhan continued to ask him, with a hint of inexplicable coldness.
Mu Shaochen’s heart skipped a beat. He was unaware that what happened tonight at the Gu Family Manor had already caused Gu Xiaozhan to suspect it involved Mu Anhan.
"No news for now." Mu Shaochen remained calm and collected.
Having been with Gu Xiaozhan for so long, they all learned to be masters at appearing one way while being another.
"Very well!" Gu Xiaozhan’s voice suddenly rose, carrying a sweeping chill.
Mu Shaochen inexplicably shivered; did Gu Xiaozhan’s words hold deeper meaning? Could he have found out something?
Gu Xiaozhan abruptly stood up, left the study with a cold face.
The three people in the study looked at each other.
Lie Huo remained silent.
Tang Haolang frowned, "Shaochen, do you know who the hacker Lao A is and are intentionally hiding it?"
"You noticed?" Mu Shaochen looked a bit worried; in that case, wouldn’t Mr. Gu also...
"We’ve worked together long enough; how many intents do you have that I don’t know?" Tang Haolang snorted, "I advise you not to hide things, otherwise you’ll regret one hundred lashes on your back."
"If one hundred lashes from Mr. Gu meant no longer pursuing the hacker Lao A issue, I’d be willing," Mu Shaochen said calmly.
"Damn!" Tang Haolang touched his forehead, "You’re not feverish but speaking nonsense! Are you mad or what?"
Mu Shaochen merely smiled slightly, others wouldn’t understand the bliss of shielding someone.
Their mother died young, and all the brothers had doted on Mu Anhan while growing up. She shouldn’t face any trouble.
Every brother doted on their sister without holding back.
Lie Huo reminded him, "Shaochen, Mr. Gu isn’t someone who lets betrayal or hiding go with just a hundred lashes. The outcome could be worse than death. You better not do anything foolish."
...
Bedroom.
Mu Anhan was holding a laptop, surfing the internet, when suddenly a long-unused email account received new mail.
She clicked it and saw someone placing a two-billion-dollar order for G&M perfume.
Did they think she’s stupid? In such turbulent times, she still wants to take orders?
Does she not care about her life?
Having finally been reborn, she treasures her small life too much.
With Gu Xiaozhan beginning to suspect her, she better behave herself.
No amount of money is worth it; if silenced by a big shot, she’d end up with nothing.
Just as she prepared to close it, she noticed the sender’s email address—it was her third brother’s!
While she was stunned, the door was pushed open, and Gu Xiaozhan stepped in with a majestic presence.
She closed the screen and cleared traces to prevent being tracked.
She opened a gaming interface, thinking to herself that Gu Xiaozhan probably wouldn’t rest until he catches the G&M perfume designer.
