Chapter 31 - Chapter 31: Mr. Gu's Spoiled Darling

"Lao A's hacker?" Gu Xiaozhan's voice grew colder, "I have an entire IT department at my disposal, yet it's someone from Lao A who found the evidence and handed it over to us?"

Mu Shaochen had been too excited earlier to consider this aspect, and now, being told this, it felt as if his old face was being slapped by Lao A!

"What if Lao A is our rival? Or our enemy?" Gu Xiaozhan's eyes shot out a blade-like cold light, "Mu Shaochen, is it just your legs that aren't good, or is your brain also failing?"

Mu Shaochen lowered his head, not daring to argue nor having anything to argue, "Yes! Mr. Gu, I was wrong! But..."

He steeled his heart and risked it all, "I feel that Lao A has no malice and is not hostile towards us."

Mu Shaochen had followed Gu Xiaozhan for a long time, never defying any of Gu Xiaozhan's decisions nor talking back to him.

Gu Xiaozhan was his god, someone he trusted and was willing to serve wholeheartedly.

This was the first time he had spoken a word against Gu Xiaozhan because of the hacker Lao A.

"Go investigate Lao A's background!" Gu Xiaozhan ordered.

"Yes!" Mu Shaochen accepted the order and started his wheelchair to leave.

However, since everyone was equally skilled, how easy could it be for him to find out about the hacker Lao A?

Nonetheless, he couldn't disobey Mr. Gu's orders.

Mu Shaochen also felt that Lao A's methods were somewhat similar to his own.

Yet, he had never taught any apprentices!

Suddenly, a figure flashed in Mu Shaochen's mind, could it be...

...

Tianqin Villa.

Mu Anhan watched as the clock struck past midnight, and Gu Xiaozhan still hadn't returned.

She also constantly kept an eye on the news; today, besides the ongoing coverage of the Sanwan Bridge incident, luckily there was nothing else reported.

She picked up a book to read but couldn't turn a page after half a day.

She thought of playing a few games, but she was so distracted that she kept losing and was even scolded as a pig teammate.

It turns out every night waiting for his safe return was so long.

At three in the morning, the sound of a car came from downstairs.

Mu Anhan rushed to the window, lifted the curtains, and looked down.

Sure enough, it was Gu Xiaozhan's car returning!

At that moment, she was unexpectedly ecstatic.

Mu Anhan dashed downstairs, and just as she reached the first floor, Gu Xiaozhan returned under the starlit sky, weary from the journey.

He paused slightly, not expecting Mu Anhan to not only be awake but also to run out barefoot to greet him.

"Husband..." Mu Anhan looked up at him.

Her face beamed with a sweet smile, like the ephemeral bloom of a night flower, fragrant and breathtakingly beautiful.

"So late and still not asleep?" Gu Xiaozhan's voice was low, unreadable in mood.

Mu Anhan was matter-of-fact, "I said I'd wait for you to come home, and when I say it, I mean it!"

Gu Xiaozhan made no response to her promise.

Yet the orange-yellow light of the night scattered gentle warmth in layers, adding a touch of warmth to the luxurious yet cold villa.

"Husband, hurry upstairs! I'll go run your bath!" Mu Anhan urged him.

The Sanwan Bridge explosion event had a significant impact; he must have been very busy today. Now that he's home, she wants him to relax in warm water.

Gu Xiaozhan nodded and took large strides upstairs.

He walked a few steps and then stopped.

Following behind him, Mu Anhan was caught off guard when he suddenly turned around and crashed into his chest.

His chest was so hard it made her nose hurt from the impact.

She frowned slightly, her exquisite little face, "Ouch..."

"Too delicate!" Gu Xiaozhan scooped her up in a princess carry and continued walking upstairs.

Mu Anhan only felt her body lift off the ground, and then she was held by a pair of strong arms; she could even feel the strength of the muscles in his arms.
