“Who dared drug Gu Xiaozhan? I’m going to kill her!” When Mu Anhan declared this, a bone-chilling shiver ran up his spine.

“Don’t ask, Madam…” Tang Haolang knelt on the ground and dared not move.

“It must be that Pei Bei!” Mu Anhan sneered coldly.

Tang Haolang looked at her in shock. Did Mr. Gu’s wife become smarter after injuring her brain?

“She dared to covet my husband. I’ll beat her to pulp the next time I see her!” Mu Anhan put her hands on her waist, steam shooting from her ears.

“She’s currently imprisoned in the villa.” Tang Haolang saw his life flash before his eyes once the words fell out of his mouth. Gu Xiaozhan would never forgive his meddling.

Sure enough, Mu Anhan rushed out before the sound vibrations from his words had dissipated.

She found the villa’s dungeon effortlessly and saw Pei Bei caged in a cell. Without the glorious title of the nation’s first daughter, she was just a crummy prisoner in jail.

“Mu Anhan…” Pei Bei saw her clad in a long, modest dress; her skin flushed with color. A man had obviously pampered and nourished her; she glowed with aftercare. Pei Bei’s tongue burned with bitter jealousy. “Did Brother Zhan use you as an antidote last night? You lowly woman, you are not worthy of Brother Zhan!”

Mu Anhan casually took out her phone and snapped a few photos. “I wonder what will happen if my fingers accidentally slip and photos of you in prison are released?”

“I’m the daughter of the president. You wouldn’t dare! My father won’t let you off! Brother Zhan won’t let you off either.” Pei Bei still considered her bloodline noble and her status her protection.

Mu Anhan smiled gleefully. “Do you not know that even if I burn this place to the ground, Gu Xiaozhan will let me do as I wish?”

Pei Bei’s expression changed. “You really are a lunatic! You and my big brother belong together! You both want to cause the death of Brother Zhan!”

Pei Wei? The great presidential successor, who had always envied Gu Xiaozhan’s power? She seemed to recall from her previous life that Gu Xiaozhan had gotten ambushed the day after the children’s birthday.

Could it be a trap set by Pei Wei?

She hastily ran out and dialed Gu Xiaozhan’s number. The phone rang, but there was no answer. She kept repeating in her heart, “Quickly pick up the phone, Gu Xiaozhan…”

“What’s the matter?” He was already attractive enough by himself, but his deep, gravelly tones were magnetic, unbelievably seductive.

“Hubby, come back quickly!” Mu Anhan said cutely. “I miss you!”

Gu Xiaozhan was in the presidential house, talking to Pei Long about Pei Bei’s incident last night. Pei Long’s expression was pitch black. He thought Gu Xiaozhan went too far in imprisoning his daughter, but he couldn’t afford to offend Gu Xiaozhan.

The atmosphere of the conversation was tense. Mu Anhan’s phone call made Gu Xiaozhan’s expression soften.

She had never called him before. He had assumed she didn’t even know his phone number.

However, today, she…

“Okay, I’ll come back now.” After Gu Xiaozhan hung up the phone, he instantly got up and left.

“Xiaozhan, when are you going to let Little Bei go?” Pei Long tried and failed to rein in his anger. It leaked into his voice.

“Wait until I’ve thoroughly investigated it,” Gu Xiaozhan said without turning his head.

Pei Long glared at his arrogant back as he left. He was so angry that he shoved all the documents on the table to the ground. Papers, pens, and folders fluttered everywhere.

“I’m the president! Who does he think he is? How rude and assuming can you be? You dare to imprison my precious daughter?”

When someone knocked on the door a while later, Pei Long was still fuming.

“Father…” Pei Wei walked in. “If this continues, Gu Xiaozhan will replace us. He’ll become the king of this country! If we weaken his power, the Pei family will still be in control…”

“What do you have in mind?” Pei Long frowned.

Pei Wei smiled sinisterly. “I’ve tied a bomb to the bridge he must pass by on his way home. He’ll blow to smithereens!”
