Possessive & Addicted: The CEO Could Never Let Her Go

Restroom.

Mu Anhan was washing her hands, letting the water flow over her fingertips.

Time gone by is like running water, never to return.

”Han Han, I’m sorry! You know me, I speak without thinking, I absolutely meant no disrespect to Pei Zhe.” Xue Xiangtong stood beside her, a bit anxious.

She didn’t know that Mu Anhan had regained her memory, only that she had mentioned to Mu Anhan that Pei Zhe was a good friend from her youth.

Mu Anhan dried her hands, ”Tong Tong, I’m not blaming you! We’ve been friends for decades, don’t I know your personality?”

”That’s good, Feishuang was almost pissed off, she said I have a pig’s brain, only eating without thinking.” Xue Xiangtong sighed with relief.

Mu Anhan was amused, ”Feishuang can be petty sometimes, but she doesn’t have ill intentions.”

”I know, she always thought Pei Zhe was a brilliant god, and Pei Zhe’s background...” Xue Xiangtong sighed.

Mu Anhan pondered slightly, ”None of us can choose our birth, but our origins are both the catalyst for growth and the motivation to strive. I believe Pei Zhe never looked down on himself because of his background. In our hearts, he’s always that dazzling young boy.”

Xue Xiangtong clapped her hands, ”Han Han, it would be great if Pei Zhe could hear your words with his own ears! Unfortunately, he’s still missing.”

”Let’s get to work!” Mu Anhan walked out of the restroom with long strides.

”Alright!” Xue Xiangtong nodded, leaving with her.

Only a wall separated the men’s and women’s restrooms, and in the men’s, Firebird’s eyes welled up with tears.

There was a time when he felt inferior because of his family background.

In others’ eyes, he was the campus heartthrob.

In reality, the stigma of being an illegitimate child had always been suffocating for him.

But Mu Anhan had never looked down on him; whether in the past or now, he remained unchanged.

Being encouraged by her words, Firebird secretly vowed that he would become an upright person and not disappoint Mu Anhan’s expectations.

The girl he liked, from before to now, was like a sunflower, always warm as ever.

”Captain, captain...” Xue Xiangtong suddenly shouted, ”Something’s wrong...”

Firebird ran back to the office from the restroom, ”What’s up?”

”The sixth victim has appeared,” Xue Xiangtong immediately said, ”the police station called, a female lawyer named Tang Jingman has been harmed...”

”Let’s go to the scene,” Firebird immediately said.

In the car, Xue Xiangtong said, ”This lawyer, I’ve heard of her; she would do anything to win cases for money and is notorious in lawyer circles. Since she started practicing law, she hasn’t lost a case.”

Mu Anhan and Firebird exchanged a glance, speaking in unison: ”Greed.”

If their deduction was correct, this Lawyer Tang Jingman had committed the sin of greed from the seven deadly sins.

Miao Feishuang saw their tacit understanding, and not having done her homework, felt a bit out of place.

Xue Xiangtong continued, ”Among the cases she’s won, the most famous one was about a wealthy second-generation who assaulted a college girl, but Tang Jingman won the case.”

”Another college girl? It seems our initial direction was correct.” Mu Anhan focused, ”We can’t let up on Yang Lili’s side, and the same for Chen Yanyan. We should look into the college girl from back then and see if there are any clues?”
