Possessive & Addicted: The CEO Could Never Let Her Go

Chapter 429: Simple and Direct

"Jingyi would never kill anyone!" Feng Siling was utterly convinced, insisting the witch was framing him.

Mu Anhan sneered coldly, "Do you not even believe your father’s words?"

Feng Siling glared at her unwillingly, "My father was deceived by the witch too! There’s absolutely no such thing as a female ghost. There’s no way ghosts exist in this world!"

"Then why didn’t you step forward and expose the witch just now?" Mu Anhan retorted.

"I..." Feng Siling was frightened out of her wits and didn’t dare move.

"Miss Feng, look out for yourself. My patience is limited," Mu Anhan said as she rested her little head on Gu Xiaozhan’s shoulder.

"Seventh Uncle, see how she’s threatening me?" Feng Siling looked at Gu Xiaozhan, who had remained sternly silent.

Gu Xiaozhan smirked, "What makes you think you’re important enough for her to threaten you? If you want to be the fiancée of a murderer, go ahead! Why speak of these things in front of us?"

Feng Siling opened her mouth several times but couldn’t utter a word, left speechless by Gu Xiaozhan’s retort.

Gu Xiaozhan ignored her and directly carried Mu Anhan into the car.

Mr. Gu, protecting his wife with sheer force!

...

In the garden.

Qin Ye Peng and Pei Wei hadn’t left, standing under the moonlight.

Pei Wei wore a grim expression, practically fuming.

He reached out and snapped a twig; Zhou Jingyi had been his pawn, but now it had lost its intended purpose.

Zhou Jingyi’s reputation was in ruins, failing to sway Mu Anhan, failing to topple Gu Xiaozhan, and now unable to form an alliance with the Feng family, rendering him worthless.

"Brother, don’t be upset!" Qin Ye Peng consoled, "The Feng family’s engagement party exposed such a scandal; they’re surely weakened, and obtaining the rights to sell oil is just around the corner."

"Dealing with the Feng family is just one aspect." Pei Wei’s expression was sinister; his main target was still Gu Xiaozhan. "That pawn of yours must be utilized effectively, as women lose their intelligence once in love."

"I will," Qin Ye Peng understood he meant Xue Xiangtong. "Brother, who do you think directed tonight’s witch’s actions?"

"On the surface, the witch was invited by Feng Ruixiang, but he wouldn’t be foolish enough to expose Zhou Jingyi as a murderer during the engagement party." A sharp glint flashed in Pei Wei’s eyes, "I suspect it has something to do with that Gu surnamed!"

"Why would he do this?" Qin Ye Peng couldn’t wrap his head around it.

"Yes! Why indeed?" Pei Wei was puzzled, "Why would Gu Xiaozhan target this silly girl Feng Siling, when he can easily cut Zhou Jingyi? Could it be that he’s using this engagement party to completely crush Zhou Jingyi? But why use a bull for a chicken?"

Qin Ye Peng pondered, "Could it be he’s aiming to strike the main family? This is just a fuse!"

"Hm, it’s a possibility." Pei Wei nodded.

In their view, Gu Xiaozhan would definitely not act for Mu Anhan, as he would have dealt with Zhou Jingyi long ago, rather than waiting till now.

Moreover, Mu Anhan would absolutely not allow him to target Zhou Jingyi!

They simply didn’t know that Mu Anhan was no longer her old self.

This time, using the witch’s female ghost ploy was entirely to deal with Zhou Jingyi.

Qin Ye Peng’s phone rang, and upon seeing it, he smiled happily, "Brother, I’ve got a brilliant plan to deal with Feng Ruixiang, look..."

Pei Wei turned his head to look at the phone, realizing their intelligence department had received information about Feng Ruixiang over the years...
