Chapter 28: Wait for Him at Home Obediently

Gu Xiaozhan was about to pull her hand to his lips when the phone on his table rang abruptly.

He looked up and saw that Lie Huo was the one calling.

He had asked Lie Huo to investigate the bomb incident on the Sanwan bridge yesterday.

He relinquished Mu Anhan's hand to pick up the phone.

"Mr. Gu, we caught Jiang Fan at the gate. We're bringing him back now." Lie Huo immediately reported.

Gu Xiaozhan's eyes turned cold and flickered with murderous intent. "Lock him up in the military prison. I'll be right over."

"Understood, sir!" Lie Huo replied with respect.

Gu Xiaozhan put down his phone. Mu Anhan was still hanging about, but he got up and strode out of his office.

Mu Anhan followed him out. "Hubby, at least have breakfast before you leave!"

"Get Zhu Chen to pack it up; I'll eat in the car," Gu Xiaozhan said, then went into his bathroom to wash up and change.

Mu Anhan ran downstairs to the kitchen. "Zhu Chen, pack breakfast for Mr. Gu."

"I will, Madam!" Zhu Chen bowed a little. Although he was surprised that Mu Anhan had woken up so early, he said nothing of it.

In the past, Mu Anhan would party every night and sleep until the sun was at its zenith.

Not to mention paying attention to Gu Xiaozhan's breakfast!

Zhu Chen ordered a serving of crystal shrimp dumplings. "Madam, should I send it over?"

"It's alright; I'll do it!" Mu Anhan ran out with it.

Gu Xiaozhan felt fresh and energetic after washing up, his black hair still damp at the ends.

He stepped into the morning light and strode over to the car. Every step he took was steadfast, graceful, and noble. He was the perfect package.

"Hubby, here you go." Mu Anhan handed it over, proud that she was his wife.

Gu Xiaozhan nodded, accepted it, and turned to the car.

The chauffeur, Tao Kai, held the car door open respectfully. "Mr. Gu, please get in!"

Gu Xiaozhan's tall figure slipped into the car. Mu Anhan stood by the side to see him off.

In the six years of their marriage in her previous life, she had never sent him off. Every time he left, despite his power and influence, he had never caught her eye. Out of sight, out of mind.

Tao Kai started the car and slowly backed out of the driveway.

Mu Anhan suddenly ran up and tapped the car window. Tao Kai was so surprised that he stomped on the brake. The car jerked to a stop. "Mr. Gu, my apologies..."

Gu Xiaozhan pressed the button that rolled down the car window. Mu Anhan's beautiful face came into view. She said anxiously, "Hubby, you must take care!"

After the explosion at Sanwan bridge yesterday, Mu Anhan was especially worried.

Gu Xiaozhan sat upright in the back seat. "Behave yourself today, and wait for me at home obediently."

"Okay!" Mu Anhan obliged.

When he drew the window back up, Tao Kai drove away, leaving Mu Anhan staring as it faded in the distance.

So this was how it felt to be deeply worried!

… 

The first military prison.

Jiang Fan sat in the interrogation room, cuffs on his hands and shackles on his feet.

He watched Gu Xiaozhan walk in arrogantly and could not resist sneering, "You're lucky to be alive!"

Gu Xiaozhan glared at him coldly, the atmosphere filling with dark, murderous miasma. "Your death date, however, has been determined."

"When I die, at least I can go down and accompany Little Xue." Jiang Fan, despite his circumstance, beamed with satisfaction.

When Jiang Fan uttered the name "Little Xue," Gu Xiaozhan's eyes flickered slightly, but the emotion disappeared too quickly to be seen.

"My only regret is that I failed to kill you and avenge Little Xue!" Jiang Fan stabbed a finger in his direction accusingly and howled in sorrow. His words shook with the trembling in his chest.

"You'd better behave before Mr. Gu!" Lie Huo kicked him viciously like a dog.

"Gu Xiaozhan, I'll never let you off even if I die; I'll come back and haunt you!" Jiang Fan suffered terrible pain but still spat those words through gritted teeth.

Gu Xiaozhan stepped on his head heavily, without mercy. "Tang Xue tried to climb into my bed and used her life to threaten me. How dare you distort the truth? You who disregarded many lives and blew up the Sanwan bridge to satisfy your own selfish desires dare to point an accusing finger at me?"
