Chapter 1083: Lulling Mr. Gu to Sleep
Some netizens say, "Pei Zhe must have changed his appearance to seize the presidency, catching the Pei Family completely off guard."
Other netizens remark, "What a brilliant move, who would have thought that a police captain could bring down the Crown Prince."
"Perhaps he had been plotting for a long time, gathering lots of evidence of the Crown Prince’s crimes and then breaking through the defenses in one fell swoop."
"After all, who would have expected a bastard child to come so far?"
"Can this president be trusted anymore? If some shocking news comes out about him again..."
Most of these comments come from internet trolls, all focusing on Pei Zhe’s background.
Some netizens speak fairly: "Although the new president hasn’t been in office long, he has managed the country well, vigorously developed our aerospace industry, and reduced taxes for the laboring people, indeed doing much to benefit the public."
"Yes, why should we get caught up in other people’s backgrounds? No one can choose their background, but they can choose the direction of their struggle."
"Can’t a police captain become president? When he was a captain, he also earned his way through bloody battles..."
Mu Anhan exited the webpage interface, ate some noodles, and returned to the bedroom.
She saw Gu Xiaozhan sleeping peacefully, climbed over to him quietly, and gently kissed his lips. Before he could wake up, she quickly lay down and pretended to be asleep.
Gu Xiaozhan, in fact, had noticed when she went downstairs.
In the darkness, he slightly curled his lips, pretending not to know she had kissed him.
He didn’t know that after eating, this woman wasn’t sleepy at all.
Seeing that he hadn’t woken up, she extended her little paw, touched his face, and slipped her hand into his shirt, her fingers on his chest.
"Han Han..."
The woman was startled by the man’s voice, and she quickly retracted her finger.
She used the moonlight and streetlamp outside the window to look at him, seeing he hadn’t woken up, maybe dreaming.
She happily said, "Even in your dreams, you’re calling my name. My love for you hasn’t been in vain!"
Gu Xiaozhan: "..."
She reached over and patted his shoulder lightly, "Be good, sleep now! Han Han’s here, Han Han will always be here..."
Soon, the one doing the coaxing fell asleep first.
Gu Xiaozhan listened to her steady breathing and gradually opened his eyes. She was sleeping sweetly, a happy smile at the corner of her mouth.
Next day.
The two went to the office together.
The company’s employees were mainly discussing Pei Zhe’s news, with no sign of any clarification coming from the president’s office, leading to more and more fervent internet chatter.
But nobody dared to discuss the matter in front of Gu Xiaozhan and Mu Anhan.
Mu Shaochen privately sent Mu Anhan a message: [Little Sis, what’s Mr. Gu’s stance?]
Mu Anhan: [This matter has nothing to do with Mr. Gu, don’t bother him.]
Mu Shaochen: [Old Five’s office hasn’t issued any statement either.]
Mu Anhan: [Don’t worry about Fifth Brother, he knows what he’s doing.]
After all, they are all siblings, and Mu Shaochen and Mu Shaohan were born as quadruplets.
Mu Anhan naturally understood what Third Brother meant; he was worried that Pei Zhe’s downfall might affect Fifth Brother’s future.
Once someone in a political career faces a downfall, it’s much harder to bounce back.
While people may tolerate an ordinary person’s downfall, the tolerance is very low for those in high positions.
