Chapter 1807 — Troubled, Part Two
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
An Jiande had not expected An Liwen to be so ruthless, seizing all of Gu Pengzhan's businesses and funds for the An family in one stroke. Rather than admiring him, An Jiande felt even more envy, jealousy, and resentment! Yet even with all that envy, jealousy, and resentment, An Jiande still had to smile broadly and heap praise on him in front of his father, An Mingyue, and An Liwen...
"Jiande, did you not say you had a grudge against Gu Pengzhan? Now that Gu Pengzhan is utterly worthless, you can make your move," An Mingri said to An Jiande. A father knows his son best; he could tell that although An Jiande was all smiles, he must be deeply stifled inside, with anger he could not vent. Gu Pengzhan would make a perfect punching bag, a target for his wrath.
"Oh? Big Brother, you have a grudge against Gu Pengzhan? Why do you want to go after him?" An Liwen asked in surprise. In his heart, though, he was weighing the pros and cons. If Gu Pengzhan were dealt with now, no one would suspect him, because Gu Pengzhan no longer had any value!
If this had happened earlier, back when Gu Pengzhan had handed his money over to the An family to manage, and something had befallen Gu Pengzhan then, people would certainly have suspected the An family.
"Heh heh, your big brother's business is nowhere near as big as yours. Just small dealings. I had a bit of a run-in with him before..." An Jiande said with a smile that was not quite a smile. "I wanted to move against him earlier, but when I heard you were swindling money for our An family, little brother, I let him off for the time being..."
"So that is how it was... Then, Big Brother, do you need my help?" A new scheme suddenly formed in An Liwen's mind. If something were to happen to Gu Pengzhan now, would Gu Mengyao not be left even more alone and helpless? And Wei Zhao had suffered qi deviation and was neither dead nor alive. When that time came, he, An Liwen, would be Gu Mengyao's only support!
Otherwise, how was Gu Mengyao, all alone, supposed to go on living? So at this thought, he felt a little eager to help An Jiande do away with Gu Pengzhan.
"If you can help, that would be best..." An Jiande had meant to refuse, but then he suddenly thought of that capable hypnotist at An Liwen's side, and said, "I was planning to arrange a car accident for Gu Pengzhan. I have even found someone to take the blame. But if that hypnotist could plant a suggestion in Gu Pengzhan's mind, make him seek his own death and walk into the car himself, then we would not have to bear much responsibility on our side..."
"No problem!" An Liwen agreed readily. "I will arrange for him to go with you right now!"
Gu Pengzhan sat alone on the bench by the roadside. Several times he could not resist the urge to contact his father and pour out his current difficulties to him, but he feared the old man could not bear it! A vast corporation had become someone else's in the blink of an eye. Anyone would feel miserable at such a turn.
And as for his daughter, she urgently needed money to seek medicine for Wei Zhao. How was he supposed to explain this to her? Gu Pengzhan cursed himself bitterly. Why had he been so possessed? An Mingyue had already advised him to quit while he was ahead. Why had he still been so greedy for wealth?
