Possessive & Addicted: The CEO Could Never Let Her Go

Chapter 253: Protecting His Sister with Dominance

Although Mu Shaochen was in a wheelchair, his speed was first-rate, quickly darting into Gu Xiaozhan’s office.

Gu Xiaozhan was already displeased with Mu Anhan’s perfunctory comments on having a second child, and seeing Mu Shaochen, his expression turned even sourer: "Since when did you become so rude?"

Though he was an empathetic boss to his subordinates, his temper was notoriously difficult to endure.

Mu Shaochen couldn’t care less about politeness at that moment; he tossed the evidence onto Gu Xiaozhan’s desk: "Mr. Gu, look at this, what’s this?"

Gu Xiaozhan’s gaze, sharp as a hawk’s, lingered on him for just two seconds before he picked up the restored audio file to listen.

It was Su Qing’s voice!

He had heard it beside his mother since childhood; he wouldn’t mistake it!

"Even if that’s the case, is this how you treat me?" Gu Xiaozhan put down the file, sharply questioning him.

Seated in his wheelchair, Mu Shaochen might fall short in imposing presence, but his protective love for his little sister filled him with explosive strength.

"As a subordinate, I’m wrong! I have no reason to doubt my boss’s words!" Mu Shaochen admitted his fault even in fury, "But as a brother, no one can tolerate their sister always being bullied by her husband’s family!"

Such familial ties in the company could complicate conflict resolution.

Gu Xiaozhan’s handsome face darkened, his lips drawn tight, his eyes flaring with fury after this accusatory tirade from his brother-in-law.

Lie Huo hadn’t realized when a person in a wheelchair could move so fast. Upon entering, he sensed the tense atmosphere and hurried forward to mediate.

"Shao Chen, Mr. Gu will surely handle this fairly, don’t be anxious, alright?"

But Mu Shaochen replied coldly: "Lie Huo, this is a matter between me and my brother-in-law."

This statement shut everyone else out of the conversation.

At work, he respected his boss, whose talent and ability commanded everyone’s obeisance.

However, in his private life, no one was allowed to harm his little sister.

"Shao Chen, we only know who was speaking; we don’t know what actually happened. You can’t jump to conclusions like this!" Lie Huo began to push his wheelchair, intending to move him out first.

Mu Shaochen reprimanded sternly: "It’s not your sister who was harmed; of course, you can speak so casually!"

Seeing Mu Shaochen’s temper rise, Lie Huo knew there was no persuading him now. Though Mu Shaochen was usually gentle as jade, once angry, even nine bulls couldn’t pull him back.

"Lie Huo, don’t touch him!" Gu Xiaozhan spoke up, "Let him speak!"

Lie Huo understood that Gu Xiaozhan was also angered. All he hoped was that Mu Anhan would arrive quickly; otherwise, they’d just be worrying helplessly.

Mu Shaochen locked eyes with Gu Xiaozhan: "At Tianqin Residence, she splashed tea on my sister. Brother-in-law, did you handle that? Now she incites her men to hire assassins against my sister. Brother-in-law, what do you plan to do about it?"

Gu Xiaozhan’s cold glare swept over, sharp and cutting, but before he could respond, Mu Anhan rushed in with great urgency.

"I’ll, I’ll, I’ll handle it!" She was still catching her breath, yet eagerly raised her hand to speak first.

Both Mu Shaochen and Gu Xiaozhan looked at her in bewilderment, only to see her sweet smile: "Alright, you’re both the dearest to me; one is the third brother I grew up with, and the other is the husband with whom I’ll grow old..."
