Possessive & Addicted: The CEO Could Never Let Her Go

An Han did trust him on this point.

"Are we supposed to put an end to this now?" An Han grabbed his hand.

They clearly knew it was illegal, yet they were still going to push forward.

And human lives are equal.

Gu Xiaozhan nodded. "Yes."

An Han let out a breath of relief. He might have changed, but his essence was still the same.

"I’ll take you to the President Mansion." Gu Xiaozhan stood up.

An Han’s pupils suddenly widened. Pei Zhe knew about this too?

In fact, after Gu Zhentao’s surgery succeeded, Gu Xiaozhan checked the files; when he saw the heart’s source was unknown, he went to Pei Zhe.

Pei Zhe was very calm. "I knew you’d come."

"Whose heart is it?" Gu Xiaozhan pressed him.

"You’re only asking me now?" Pei Zhe gave a mocking smile. "If, at the time of transplant, you’d known the source was unknown, would you still have chosen to do it?"

Gu Xiaozhan: "..."

"Gu Xiaozhan, this isn’t your style. You’ve always been all about your own will—since when would you care where a heart came from?" Pei Zhe hit the nail on the head.

If it had been the old Gu Xiaozhan, he wouldn’t have cared about the source at all; as long as it could save his father’s life, that was enough.

"Mr. Lu’s case was the same?" Gu Xiaozhan ignored his mockery.

Pei Zhe nodded. "I owe him."

"You know where the heart came from?" Gu Xiaozhan braced both hands on his desk.

"I know a bit." As for the specific operation, Pei Zhe didn’t know; he only knew the source wasn’t from legal channels.

"Why didn’t you stop it at the time?" Gu Xiaozhan demanded.

"Back then, aviation research had entered a critical stage." Naturally, Pei Zhe had his own concerns. "Which weighs heavier and which lighter? You should understand that too."

"And now?" Gu Xiaozhan frowned. "Are we still going to ignore it?"

Of course Pei Zhe wasn’t going to ignore it. "We collect evidence."

When the Maybach stopped in front of the President Mansion, Gu Xiaozhan pulled himself out of his memories.

He and An Han got out of the car.

Pei Zhe hadn’t gone to rest yet. He was in his office; seeing the couple arrive together, he immediately understood what was going on.

An Han had never imagined that, in her lifetime, the three of them would be sitting together this harmoniously, drinking tea and chatting.

Pei Zhe had been in power for over a year; he was already well-practiced, handling everything calmly and rationally.

"My fifth brother isn’t here?" An Han glanced around.

Pei Zhe said, "He went to get some of your favorite snacks."

Very soon, Mu Shaohan brought over osmanthus cake—soft and glutinous, fragrant and sweet.

But An Han had no appetite.

What she wanted more was to know what was going on.

"Eat a little first. We already have a plan to solve it." Gu Xiaozhan handed her a cup of hot tea.

An Han looked at him, then at Pei Zhe. So they were already taking action.

She took the sweet cake from Mu Shaohan’s hand and listened as Pei Zhe began to talk about the matter.

"When Mr. Lu’s health was bad, I was paying close attention to the hospital. I’ve never had a father’s affection since I was little; the old man gave me a lot, and I’m grateful to him. Lu Yuhao had a lot of official business; he had a father’s love, so he never felt he lacked anything."

"I learned from a colleague in the Intelligence Bureau that the hospital had organs that could be transplanted ahead of others, but the source was unknown. I was only thinking of getting the old man his kidney transplant quickly so he could enjoy his twilight years in peace. I acted out of personal motives and didn’t tell anyone."

"I didn’t investigate at the time—first, because there wasn’t time; second, because I was busy with the aviation program..."
