Chapter 1735 — The Scheme Begins

"Them? Right now, my word carries absolute weight in front of them! While working for the Fire Wolf Gang, one must also secure some benefits for one's own family," An Liwen said, shaking his head with an air of pride. "It happens to be a rest period now, so they'd only be idle anyway. Doing a little something for me — even if the Fire Wolf Gang found out, they wouldn't say a word! My contributions to the Gang exceed others' by hundreds of times!"
"That's true enough!" An Mingyue sighed. His son now had the capital to be proud — the Fire Wolf Gang's core resources could now be mobilized at his command, which showed how highly they valued him. He was right: in the spare time between raking in money for the Gang, earning a little for one's own family was no crime.
"This time we must leave no way out — drive Gu Pengzhan into a corner, so that I can make Gu Mengyao marry me!" At the thought, a flame of longing kindled in An Liwen's eyes.
"Jianwen, with your present wealth and ability, what kind of woman couldn't you find? Why are you so fixated on Gu Mengyao alone?" An Mingyue couldn't quite fathom his son's thinking. Though the Gu family had Wei Zhao for a backer and seemed formidable, in truth An Mingyue didn't take them seriously at all!
They were merely a family of the mundane tier — even the hidden families An Mingyue considered of little use! So in his view, once Gu Pengzhan's business was swallowed up, Gu Mengyao would be nothing but a fallen heiress. Was she really worth An Liwen's trouble?
"Father, you don't understand — this is a fixation from childhood!" An Liwen said. "If I never have Gu Mengyao, I shall regret it all my life. Perhaps once I have her, I'll find it's nothing special — but so long as I don't, I'll never be reconciled!"
"Very well. Since you want to do it, then do it! You're grown now, and you know what you're about." An Mingyue stopped trying to dissuade him.
"One more thing — keep the swallowing of the Gu Group clean. Don't let the Gu family catch on. I don't want to play the villain and earn Gu Mengyao's resentment!" An Liwen said. "I mean to have her body — and her heart as well!"
"Rest easy. I'm a veteran of the business world, if nothing else — I can handle a trifle like this. Besides, with the hypnotist's help, there's certainly no problem!" An Mingyue said.
"Good." An Liwen nodded in relief. "By the way, I hear my dear elder brother wasn't too happy about things, and has come back to work again?"
