Possessive & Addicted: The CEO Could Never Let Her Go

Chapter 138: Chapter 138: Dare to Challenge? Fight!

A speech full of passion, showcasing the dominance and enemy stance of Gu Xiaozhan as he commands the military.

He had a phone conversation with President Pei Long, who still invited him to the President Mansion.

After Gu Xiaozhan got into his special car, He Gang asked Lie Huo from the back, ”Doesn’t Mr. Gu really need to put on some makeup?”

”This is proof of our Mr. Gu’s love!” Lie Huo replied with a deadpan expression, imparting a bit of romance to the chief assistant.

He Gang: ”...”

President Mansion.

Pei Long’s expression showed faint signs of anxiety. When he saw the tall figure entering through the door, he hurriedly went up to greet, ”Xiaozhan, you didn’t come to the President Mansion yesterday, I’ve been worried about you, did anything happen?”

Actually, Pei Long knew what had happened, but since it concerned his eldest son Pei Wei, and since he needed Gu Xiaozhan to defend the country, as long as Gu Xiaozhan didn’t mention it, he would pretend not to know anything.

”Something came up yesterday.” Gu Xiaozhan did not elaborate.

Pei Long felt relieved when it wasn’t mentioned, ”By the way, this time the incursion of planes from M country into our sea area, is it because of Tony’s death and they are intentionally retaliating, or is it a random action?”

”Whether intentional or random, as a great man once said, if friends come, we treat them with good wine and food; if wolves come, we beat them back fiercely!” Gu Xiaozhan, being a general who strategizes and commands with confidence, wouldn’t allow anyone to infringe!

Pei Long could sense the noble spirit of unwavering justice emanating from him, and he was influenced too, nodding, ”But, what if warfare stalls our economy and the people suffer... what will we do if the whole country regresses twenty years?”

Gu Xiaozhan’s eyes sharply locked onto him like a falcon: ”If we fear war and keep retreating, it will only give others an opportunity to exploit us. We’ll face not just a regression of twenty years, but become puppets of M country, controlled by them from now on.”

Pei Long was rattled, he just wanted to live comfortably in the presidency, with peace and prosperity.

”Xiaozhan, this isn’t just my personal opinion, it’s what some cabinet members are thinking too. They’re worried about what if we can’t win...”

”War is a 50% chance of victory for us, not fighting means we’ll all become M country’s lackeys!” Gu Xiaozhan stated concisely, ”Such a simple choice, does it really need to be decided by the cabinet’s old members who are about to be put in coffins?”

This sarcastic comment left Pei Long with no dignity, as not everyone in this country is willing to sacrifice or even lay down their life for the nation.

Some people, for their own tenure, disregard the interests of future generations.

But there will always be those who place national interests at the forefront.

After finishing his statement, Gu Xi Zhan stood up, ”Mr. President, if there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving first.”

Pei Long understood his implication that, should M country provoke a war, A country must fight back. He said nothing more, ”If anything arises, call me immediately. By the way, you didn’t take my call this morning, which scared me...after all, Xiaozhan never lets work get delayed...”

At this point, he noticed the hickey on Gu Xiaozhan’s neck and couldn’t help but laugh, ”Even heroes can’t resist the charms of a beauty! Xiaozhan, oh you... it’s rare for you to indulge in tenderness, next time remember to delegate more to others, so you won’t worry about everything, and you can happily enjoy the world with your wife...”
