Mr. CEO Has a Crush on Me-Chapter 1428: Her Request Is Very Simple (Part 1)

Arthur was right, he knew it definitely had to do with the antidote.

It wasn’t unusual for Mu Bei to make up an excuse. Gu Annan originally planned to resolve this matter without Lu Wanwan knowing, so she’d always think he was fine.

"And then?" Ji Shaoyang pressed on.

Arthur’s face was calm, his blue eyes cold, "Who on earth is this Xia Li? Having the guts to meet him alone, it probably isn’t that simple."

"She came to the wedding today." Mu Bei thought for a moment and said, "Dressed as a man."

Mu Xing’s eyes widened, "That person was her?"

"Yes." Mu Bei nodded, "The person we sent to follow her found the hotel she’s staying at here. She’s a woman, and she’s the one we’ve been looking for all along. She proposed to meet the Young Master, and the Young Master agreed."

Arthur crossed his arms, "For Gu Annan to agree to such a request, Xia Li is definitely no ordinary person."

Ji Shaoyang asked, "How can you tell?"

"Xia Li was almost silenced before but escaped; it’s not easy for ordinary people to escape like that. Besides, coming for help after escaping, the initiative should be in our hands. Even if not for help, if she were discovered by our people, she’d be at her wits’ end, capturing her would be the simplest solution. Gu Annan chose to face her, she must not only have the antidote as a bargaining chip but also the ability to negotiate."

"Saying this much now doesn’t help, bro, can you reach the Young Master? Where are they?"

"I know the location, but since the Young Master said he’d go alone, he definitely won’t let us intervene. I came over this time because, when the Young Master was urging about other matters just now, I mentioned that the Young Madam had woken up, and he told me to say so."

Arthur suspiciously asked, "What did he instruct?"

Since it’s a negotiation, what else could be instructed midway?

Mu Bei looked troubled, "Find Mr. Liancheng."

"Does Xie Liancheng still need to be found?" Arthur said in surprise, "He was just at the wedding!"

"After the wedding ended, everyone left. Mr. Liancheng went somewhere unknown, and we have no one who can find him now." Mu Bei said, feeling a headache coming on, "This is the second time. We don’t know what’s going on with Mr. Liancheng. Sometimes he just suddenly disappears without any trace."

It’s easy for them to find someone, but for Xie Liancheng, even now as a patient, if he doesn’t want people to know where he is, it’s not that easy for them to find him.

"Mr. Gu, quite some time has passed."

In the hotel suite, Xia Li, now dressed in women’s clothing, sat opposite Gu Annan.

In front of her was a cup of tea, which had gone from steaming hot a moment ago to now cold.

"I thought my request was very simple."

Xia Li’s voice was very hoarse, greatly mismatched with her delicate and calm appearance.

Her Mandarin also carried a kind of foreign accent that was not quite authentic.

"If it’s so simple, why don’t you find it yourself?" he spoke coldly.

Indeed, quite some time had passed.

Xia Li admitted everything right from the start and clearly told him that the three-year antidote Mo Han demanded was modified from the original antidote by her.

She had analyzed all the components of the original antidote. Even if one did not trust her, she could hand over all the original antidote data.

As long as one understood, they could quickly discern the authenticity of the antidote.

But the person she wanted to see wasn’t just Gu Annan, or rather, she wanted to find Xie Liancheng.

"Perhaps because having Mr. Gu involved provides more assurance."

"What’s your relationship with Xie Liancheng?"
