My Mr. Gu is Courting Death Again

Chapter 674: To Pledge Allegiance (2)

Xu Weilai knew that Zuo An was not a simpleton who could easily be fooled by a few words.

She was already prepared before she even said those things to Zuo An, for she had never expected him to take her words at face value.

“I suppose you’re aware that I’ve been investigating Gu Yu all this while?”

Zuo An nodded, “Yes.”

As Xu Weilai had already gone so far into this topic, she felt that it was useless to continue to hide certain things from Zuo An. Ever since she entered Gu Corporation, she had kept tabs on everything that Zuo An had done.

She knew that he had intentionally created opportunities for her to get back together with Gu Yu, for only when she returned to his side could she become his source of weakness again.

However, perhaps because Gu Yu no longer had any feelings for Xu Weilai or was simply playing all along, for he never showed much of a reaction towards Xu Weilai. When Zuo An realised that his probing failed to stir up anything, he then proceeded to stage the elevator incident.

Although Gu Yu saved Xu Weilai at that point in time, things did not go according to Zuo An’s plans. He had expected Gu Yu and Xu Weilai to be honest with their true feelings at the critical moment of life and death. Instead, they were fully estranged now and Xu Weilai even wanted to pledge her allegiance to him in order to take revenge on Gu Yu.

He could only say that Xu Weilai was truly full of surprises.

She was originally just a pawn to him and now, for some strange reason, he had become profoundly curious about her. He thought that he had known her well enough, only to realize that his knowledge of her was merely just the tip of the iceberg.

“I found out a secret of his that will be very helpful to you.”

“Oh?”

Xu Weilai wagged her finger at Zuo An and signalled for him to come closer.

Zuo An wasn’t bothered by how she was keeping him in suspense and even went along with her. Lowering his head, he leaned his ear closer to her.

Xu Weilai moved closer and her breath caressed his ear as she whispered in a low tone of voice that was tinged with a barely noticeable hint of hatred, “Gu Yu has some health issues and I think it’s quite serious. I’ve seen it twice. He’s currently relying on medication to sustain himself. I don’t know what his exact condition is for now, but once it’s verified, the board of directors who are currently supporting him will probably turn against him as well.”

At the moment, Gu Yu had lost Grandpa Gu’s shares and his own shares were insufficient to keep him in his current position as the president of the company. Once the board of directors who supported him lost confidence in him, Zuo An would naturally rise up to the occasion and take over the entire Gu Corporation.

Zuo An did have some doubts about Gu Yu’s health. However Gu Yu had concealed it too well and had never shown any signs of weakness in front of others. Zuo An been tried to send someone to get close to Gu Yu and investigate this, but Gu Yu was not someone to be trifled with and thus, it was difficult for Zuo An’s men to even get close to him, let alone investigate.

At present, Xu Weilai’s disclosure of Gu Yu’s state of health was akin to giving him a crucial hold over Gu Yu. He also doesn’t have to doubt the authenticity of Xu Weilai’s words.

It wasn’t surprising that Xu Weilai could get close to Gu Yu.

However, Zuo An couldn’t help but fin Xu Weilai ruthless.

Once he found out about Gu Yu’s precise condition, things would truly be over for Gu Yu.

After a moment of silence, Zuo An asked, “Do you really hate Gu Yu so much? Aren’t you too heartless?”

Xu Weilai merely felt amused by his question. Instead of replying, she grinned and asked, “Why shouldn’t I hate him? Do men think that they could hurt the feelings of a woman as they please and that the woman should simply accept it passively? Do men think that women could only nurse our wounds in silence?”
