Possessive & Addicted: The CEO Could Never Let Her Go

Miao Feishuang had seen them eating egg tarts together on campus; warmth was evident in the corners of Pei Zhe’s eyes and brows.

Back then, the faces of the teenagers were all glowing with radiant light.

She believed Pei Zhe must have liked eating those.

Xue Xiangtong brought the egg tarts in, ”Captain, these are delicious. The three of us bought them just for you.”

She dared not tell Firebird that these were unwanted by others.

If the captain found out, wouldn’t he scold them all?

Firebird took it, ”Thanks! Have you found anything?”

”... Han Han is already organizing the materials and will report soon,” Xue Xiangtong immediately said. She definitely couldn’t admit she knew nothing and was just out shopping.

”You two were out playing?” Firebird saw through it at once.

Xue Xiangtong had to honestly reply, ”Not really, mainly Gu Changzhi wouldn’t let Feishuang and me listen in. He only wanted to tell Han Han.”

”Alright!” Firebird signaled that she could leave.

Through the blinds, Firebird saw Mu Anhan sitting down, meticulously organizing the documents.

As he ate the egg tart, he recalled his and Mu Anhan’s campus days.

Back then, they also loved eating egg tarts.

She would always buy a few boxes and enjoy them with friends.

In the brilliant sunlight, her smiling face was etched into his memory.

Was this egg tart bought by Mu Anhan?

Of course, Firebird dared not ask.

Before long, Mu Anhan knocked and came in, ”Captain, these are the materials Gu Changzhi gave me. Please take a look first.”

Firebird glanced and his expression changed.

”These bastards... so despicable!”

It took Firebird some time to regain his composure, ”These can’t serve as evidence. I’ll have someone collect more. By the way, Gu Changzhi gave these, could he have his agenda?”

”I’ve thought about it. The Gu Family’s third branch is relatively weak; its presence has always been low. Gu Yongjin is the only son of the second branch, and he’s directly related to these matters. If we have solid evidence, he definitely won’t escape legal punishment. Then Gu Changzhi might have the opportunity to take charge of real estate.”

Firebird nodded, ”Gu Changzhi comes from a prestigious family. Even if the third branch’s presence is low, he is still part of the Gu Family. He may appear gentle and harmless, but deep down, he can’t escape the genetic rivalry of the wealthy.”

He said this also to avoid dragging Mu Anhan down.

”Don’t worry, Captain. I understand.”

This time, in addition to finding the killer, several big families, including the president, might also be implicated.

Firebird was certainly going to investigate thoroughly, but with Mu Anhan here, he suddenly had the urge to have her leave.

Since their reunion, Firebird had been trying every means to see her.

However, when danger approached, he wished he could push her away.

Just like five years ago.

Though time has changed, he remains the same.

During a small meeting, Xue Xiangtong sighed after reading the documents, ”People from the Gu Family’s second branch are entangled with the Pei Family. I wonder if Pei Long’s illegitimate child is what he left from his affairs?”

Upon hearing this, Mu Anhan was stunned.

Miao Feishuang was also taken aback.

Both of them knew Pei Zhe was an illegitimate child; how hurtful were these words to Firebird?

But Firebird remained very calm, appearing to have no excess emotions at all.

As if Pei Zhe and he had no relation at all.

”Tong Tong, say less,” Miao Feishuang spoke up to stop her.

Xue Xiangtong quickly covered her mouth, realizing she shouldn’t have said that in front of Mu Anhan.
