Possessive & Addicted: The CEO Could Never Let Her Go

Chapter 121: Chapter 121: Power Games of the Prestigious Family

Zhang De’s head was shiny, no longer growing new hair due to balding. He was slightly chubby and smiled like a good-natured person.

Gu Xiaozhan walked to the sofa and sat down, crossing his legs, his aura intimidating: ”Uncle Zhang, my mom said she’s not feeling well again, what’s the issue?”

Zhang De seemed to have anticipated the question and immediately smiled ingratiatingly, ”Our hospital is the best in the entire Imperial City. I will do my utmost to cure the madam, Mr. Gu, you needn’t worry.”

Gu Xiaozhan had already anticipated that he would dodge the core issues of Huo Yiwen’s illness.

He glanced at Lie Huo, who promptly handed a document over to Zhang De.

Zhang De took it and, upon glancing at it, his face changed dramatically, ”This... how could my son do such a heinous thing?”

Zhang De’s promotion to deputy director of this hospital was due to Huo Yiwen’s social connections, which means he was one of Huo Yiwen’s confidants.

When Huo Yiwen suddenly fell ill two days ago and was hospitalized, and with the condition suddenly worsening today, Zhang De knew the reasons best.

Gu Xiaozhan certainly knew that Huo Yiwen was playing power tactics with him!

For a mother and son to reach this point, this is the survival environment of the aristocracy.

Even if it’s between mother and son, as long as Huo Yiwen intends to harm Mu Anhan, Gu Xiaozhan absolutely could not tolerate it.

Therefore, he had earlier tasked Lie Huo to investigate Zhang De’s son’s misdeeds, getting hold of Zhang De’s weakness.

Zhang Yang, still in high school, had gotten a girl from school pregnant, a matter Zhang De had already settled privately with compensation.

But Gu Xiaozhan knew now, and if this reached the media, Zhang De’s reputation would suffer, and Zhang Yang would face consequences.

Zhang De wiped cold sweat off his head, ”Xiaozhan, I will definitely discipline him well and won’t let him make mistakes again... Can you give me this?”

”Uncle Zhang, to err is human, after all,” Gu Xiaozhan said calmly, but with immense pressure, ”Of course, I can give it to you, but...”

He hadn’t finished his sentence, yet Zhang De naturally understood.

It regards the true situation of Huo Yiwen’s illness, after all?

”The madam was admitted two days ago due to being overly upset, and there was a physical issue,” Zhang De immediately laid it all bare, ”but tonight there’s no major problem; a little rest will suffice.”

Indeed, it was just as Gu Xiaozhan suspected!

Tonight, clearly, Huo Yiwen intentionally summoned him here.

”Why did she pretend to be ill tonight?” Gu Xiaozhan narrowed his cold eyes slightly.

Zhang De continued to wipe sweat, having watched Gu Xiaozhan grow up, yet feared him greatly, ”Because Pei Wei got injured, and the madam heard it was for Mu... for the young madam, and she worried about your safety.”

Gu Xiaozhan stood up, preparing to leave.

”Xiaozhan, if the madam asks...” Zhang De looked at him nervously. Whether he said something or not, he wouldn’t have a good outcome with Huo Yiwen, and if he didn’t, Gu Xiaozhan would ruin him.

In essence, he was wrong no matter what he did!

”Don’t worry, Uncle Zhang, I won’t mention you,” Gu Xiaozhan reassured him.

Zhang De immediately breathed a sigh of relief but then heard Gu Xiaozhan say, ”From now on, you must report every move of the madam to me, or else...”

Without needing to say more, Zhang De already understood.

”Yes! I will, I surely will...” Zhang De immediately agreed.

Gu Xiaozhan never looked at him again, turned, and walked out of the doctor’s office. Ye Wennuan was coming toward him, ”Mr. Gu, the madam has woken up!”
