Chapter 1081: Tripartite Standoff
Gu Xiaorui still wanted to see if Pei Zhe would be willing to stand on their side and join forces against Gu Xiaozhan!
Indeed, the world of the wealthy is truly deep!
Mu Shaohan even felt a bit sympathetic for Pei Zhe; being a president is not easy, he still has to deal with pressure from all directions.
Even finding a beloved girl to marry is difficult, because many people rush to offer women to him, just to gain the power they desire.
After finishing a cigarette, Pei Zhe pulled out a bottle of liquor, "Have a drink with me!"
"Sure!" Mu Shaohan poured him a drink.
Normally, the two had a superior-subordinate relationship, but after smoking and drinking together in private, their relationship instantly became closer.
They had a lot to talk about, and it seemed they could chat about anything.
"Your Excellency President, I don’t think Huo Yiwen will give up easily," Mu Shaohan was used to socializing and he could hold his liquor well.
Pei Zhe took a sip of his drink: "I, Gu Xiaozhan, and Huo Yiwen are in a triangular relationship. If any of us form an alliance with the others, it could crush the remaining side, but the three of us will stand for a long time, and it’s not easy to form alliances."
Mu Shaohan understood that Huo Yiwen wanted Pei Zhe to become her son-in-law, so she could use marriage to control Pei Zhe. Then, with her son Gu Xiaozhan’s resources firmly in her grasp, she could emulate Wu Zetian and proclaim herself emperor.
"Huo Yiwen’s plan is quite cunning, but unfortunately..." Mu Shaohan sighed.
Pei Zhe is a man who fought his way out of the war, barely surviving and changing his identity, he can’t be easily controlled by anyone.
Gu Xiaozhan was born into a wealthy family and was long accustomed to the scheming and intrigue at play, where even a mother and son confronting each other with weapons wasn’t uncommon!
Gu Xiaozhan was always used to being independent, he couldn’t possibly form an alliance with any side.
Moreover, Pei Zhe is still his rival in love.
The relationships among the three are very delicate, everyone knows it well, and both overt and covert battles never cease.
...
Hospital.
Huo Yiwen lay in the hospital bed, and Deputy Director Zhang De stood by her side.
"Fourth Madame, everything has been thoroughly checked, and I’ve already written the report for the police, you just rest here for a few days."
Huo Yiwen’s face was displeased, "Why didn’t he have an episode?"
She naturally referred to her son Gu Xiaozhan.
His paranoia, his mania, none of them erupted, instead, he calmly resolved the crisis he was facing.
How could this not shock Huo Yiwen?
"Fourth Madame, regarding Mr. Gu, the hospital couldn’t find any data, everything was taken away by Mu Anye, we’re not sure why Mr. Gu didn’t have an episode," Zhang De furrowed his brow.
Huo Yiwen clenched her fists, "It’s those Mu Family people manipulating things. Mu Anhan is truly a deeply scheming woman. She not only controls Xiaozhan, but even the people around her tightly control him. No way... I have to find a way to rescue Xiaozhan."
"Fourth Madame, it’s late, you should rest..." Zhang De advised, "If there’s anything, we’ll discuss it tomorrow."
"I can’t sleep," Huo Yiwen shook her head, "By the way, did you find out why Pei Zhe changed his identity?"
Zhang De seemed a bit nervous, "Not a trace of information, I couldn’t find out what happened!"
"Useless!" Huo Yiwen threw a pillow to the ground, "His DNA is Pei Zhe’s but his entire face is changed, something must have happened, I think this point can still be used to stir public opinion..."
Since Pei Zhe doesn’t want to be her son-in-law, he can’t blame her for being impolite!
