“As long as you apologize at the press conference today, everything will be fine. Why do you have to do this?”
Dr. Gu asked in a teasing tone.
Jiang Zhen looked anxious.
Guo Yuehua’s face darkened. She looked up at Dr. Gu and then shifted her gaze to Mu Anan.
Mu Anan did not even make eye contact with Guo Yuehua.
The Jiang family had a lot of time to clean up the mess after the press conference.
It would depend on how the Jiang family’s public relations would deal with it to restore their reputation.
However, no matter how they dealt with it, it was not Mu Anan’s true purpose.
When Guo Yuehua had asked her assistant to be her scapegoat, Mu Anan was neither surprised nor bothered.
Because she didn’t dream that she could bring Guo Yuehua down with this matter.
If Guo Yuehua had fallen so easily, she wouldn’t be standing in her current position.
Mu Anan’s real goal was to create a rift between Jiang Zhen and Guo Yuehua.
Mu Anan’s true motive was to make Jiang Zhen’s relationship with Guo Yuehua worse.
Therefore, when Mu Anan was about to turn around and leave, she deliberately glanced at Jiang Zhen and sighed, “1 thought that such a good solution would be able to solve the problem perfectly.”
As Mu Anan said, Jiang Zhen widened his eyes and moved his mouth. He wanted to say something, but nothing came out.
His eyes were filled with disbelief and incomprehension.
At this moment, Mu Anan had already walked out side by side with Dr. Gu.
Guo Yuehua clenched her fists tightly. The manicure that she had extended yesterday was broken because Guo Yuehua had used too much force.
Guo Yuehua shot a glance at the second floor.
In the next second, an inexplicable sound came from the seat Mu Anan was sitting on.
Number One, who was behind Mu Anan, reacted first and pulled Mu Anan away.
In the next second, the crystal chandelier that was originally at the top smashed down, and the glass exploded everywhere. The living room, which was originally quiet because of this event, instantly screamed.
The scene was chaotic.
A second before the lights fell, Dr. Gu stood in front of Mu Anan and shielded her behind him.
One of the glass shards pierced Dr. Gu’s shoulder. Dr. Gu only frowned.
When he let go of Mu Anan, he pulled out the shard from his shoulder and threw it aside.
The floor lamp was very large. When it fell to the ground, it almost blocked half of the way out.
“What’s going on?”
“Why did the lights fall off?”
“If this little princess didn’t dodge it, she would have lost her life!”
The surrounding people sighed.
Mu Anan’s first reaction was to turn around and look at Guo Yuehua.
Guo Yuehua glanced at the seats on the second floor full of hatred.
Although Guo Yuehua only glanced at it, Mu Anan still caught the detail.
Mu Anan looked up and saw the man standing by the bed on the second floor.
The man lowered his head, pushed his glasses up, and left.
“Miss Anan, are you alright?” Dr. Gu asked.
Mu Anan shook her head and glanced at Dr. Gu’s shoulder, “How are you?”
“I’m fine.” Dr. Gu did not take it seriously at all. He just patted Number One’s shoulder, “Good job.”
Number One didn’t say anything and nodded.
At the same time, the hotel’s lobby manager had already walked over and bowed to Mu Anan apologetically, “I am sorry, Miss Anan. We will investigate the incident and give you an explanation.
“We’re very sorry for scaring you. How about resting in your room upstairs?”
“No need.”
Mu Anan replied coldly and strode away, avoiding the light and leaving the hotel.
When Dr. Gu left with Mu Anan, he said to Number One, “Stay here. Check up on!”
Number One nodded.
When Dr. Gu followed her out, Mu Anan had already gotten into the car.
Dr. Gu got into the car and sat beside Mu Anan, “Guo Yuehua has something to do with this.”
His words were very certain.
Mu Anan took off her mask and hat.
Dr. Gu continued, “She did come prepared. If she couldn’t slander you, she might as well let you die in an accident.”
“Don’t tell Seventh Master about this.” Mu Anan said.
She didn’t say much about the lamp falling. She just said, “Can you give Number One to me?”
Mu Anan did not have much contact with Number One.
The first time was when they were on Jiang Feng’s cruise ship, Number One was by her side to protect her. He’s just like a stuffy guy.
This time, Mu Anan had truly seen through Number One’s ability.
It was only a second before the lamp fell. Even Mu Anan did not have time to react, but Number One reacted within a second and pulled Mu Anan away.
Such a kind of reaction and sensitivity was not something that ordinary people could do.
“No way.” Dr. Gu refused without hesitation, “It took me a long time to pick out Number One, Number Two, Number Three, Number Four, and Number Five.”
“Number One is good with his skills, Number Two is in charge of intelligence, what do Number Three, Number Four and Number Five do?” Mu Anan was starting to get interested in the numbers.
According to Dr. Gu, there were five of them.
Moreover, they were the experts in their domain.
“You will know in the future.” Dr. Gu smiled, “But 1 am not going to give him to you. Back then, to train these five people, Seventh Master and I…”
Dr. Gu suddenly stopped talking.
Mu Anan was able to catch that there was a flash of some emotion on his face.
However, Mu Anan failed to capture exactly what the emotion was.
It was probably related to some incident in Liuli City.
Mu Anan recalled the conversation she had with those people from Phecda back in Liuli City.
Although Gu Shuqing wasn’t from the Zong family, he was a member of Phecda. Now, he was in a state of withdrawal and refused to return to the Zong family in Liuli City no matter what.
Mu Anan was a little curious. What was the relationship between Dr. Gu and the Zong family?
However, despite her curiosity, Mu Anan did not intend to ask.
It wasn’t good to lift a person’s scar.
Dr. Gu changed the topic, “Guo Yuehua wanted to mess with you at the press conference. Now she gets this result, the Jiang family will make many efforts to make amends. And Guo Yuehua and Jiang Zhen’s relationship will also encounter a big challenge. Miss Anan, what a wonderful trick you’ve done.”
Mu Anan chuckled, “Did you notice the second floor just now?”
“The second floor?”
“There’s a man on the second floor. He’s been watching what’s happening in the hall since I entered. I can’t see his face clearly, but he gives me a subtle sense of familiarity.”
His venomous eyes made Mu Anan very uneasy.
“Perhaps a bystander?” Dr. Gu thought for a long time but could not think of anyone special on the second floor.
Many people were watching the press conference on the second floor.
Mu Anan was about to say something when her phone rang.
It was a WeChat call.
Mu Anan took it out, and Xiao Jiu’s profile picture appeared on the screen. Its name was Jiu Jiu.
Dr. Gu glanced at it and chuckled, “I’m quite familiar with your profile picture. 1 have a younger sister who has the same profile picture.”
However, Dr. Gu only said it and then shifted his gaze to the window.
Mu Anan picked up the phone and asked, “Have you set off?”
“I’ll probably get off the Jianglan City highway at around seven or eight tomorrow night. Will you pick me up?” Jiu Jiu sounded very excited.
Although Mu Anan was in earpiece mode, after all, they were in a space, Dr. Gu listened to the voice with a somewhat familiar feeling.
Mu Anan was about to reply to Xiao Jiu when she realized that her phone vibrated.
A WeChat message came in. It was from Seventh Master.
Seventh Master: “I’ll be back at eight tomorrow night..”
