Chapter 247: Unconquerable Psychological Pressure
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Back then, the Mu family was attacked by an organized group of assailants. Both Mu Qing and her father lost their lives. Only Mu Anan was saved by Zong Zhengyu and protected for eight years.
However, during those eight years, the Mu Group had become the Jiang family, and its value in Jianglan City had risen.
The Jiang family had developed several patent drugs and firmly sat on the throne of the number one pharmaceutical group in Jianglan City. Many similar groups were jealous of them, which led it to suffer a lot of suppression.
However, no matter how much suppression they faced, the Jiang family had been steadily rising. There was a mysterious force supporting them from behind.
Because of Mu Anan, Zong Zhengyu had never wanted the Jiang family to survive from the start. But when Luo Sen made his move, he discovered that the power behind the Jiang family was closely related to the people in Liuli City.
He even found out that the power behind the Jiang family was actually him.
Zong Zhengyu found it very interesting.
After an in-depth investigation, they found out that the reason the Mu family was silenced was because Mu Qing and her father had developed a drug that targeted brain intelligence.
The person behind it wanted the formula for the research drug, so he had always protected the Jiang family.
However, it was in the name of Zong Zhengyu, which was interesting.
Zong Zhengyu sat on a chair while Dr. Gu re-treated his wound.
Dr. Gu said, “The Jiang family’s incident has always been a hurdle in Miss Anan’s heart. Miss Anan has also suffered silently because you haven’t dealt with the Jiang family.”
“There is nothing to fear about the Jiang family, but once the Jiang family is dealt with, Anan will become the only member of the Mu family. Those people will definitely set their eyes on her for the project proposal!”
Zong Zhengyu’s tone turned cold, and a murderous look flashed in his eyes, “I can protect her for the rest of her life, but she will lose her freedom.”
That girl was strong, straightforward, free, and easy.
She was a girl who enjoyed her freedom.
Dr. Gu treated Zong Zhengyu’s wounds while secretly observing him.
Although there was a murderous look in Seventh Master’s eyes when he mentioned the person who pretended to be him, his gaze softened when he mentioned Mu Anan.
That man would only behave like that when it came to Mu Anan.
Dr. Gu’s mind was in turmoil. He opened his mouth, but in the end, he suppressed the words he wanted to say and continued to focus on treating the wound.
The wound had been treated in Liuli City, but Seventh Master had rushed back, causing the wound to split and bleed.
Just a simple treat would do.
“Seventh Master, it’s done.” Dr. Gu said.
Zong Zhengyu acknowledged coldly. When he got up, he rubbed his eyebrows tiredly.
Dr. Gu asked with concern, “Seventh Master, is your headache acting up again?”
“It’s fine.” Zong Zhengyu’s voice was cold, and he frowned, “Why isn’t Anan back yet?”
She should have gotten off work long ago.
As Zong Zhengyu was speaking, there was a knock on the bedroom door.
The servant reported, “Seventh Master, Miss Anan got off work at 8:30 p.m. She was taken away as soon as she got off work.”
“Taken away?” Zong Zhengyu immediately frowned.
The servant replied, “Yes! According to the investigation, Miss Anan boarded the car of the Jiang Medical Group’s CEO, Jiang Zhen, and they are heading to Mingcheng Apartments!”
As soon as he said that, not only Zong Zhengyu but even Dr. Gu’s expression changed.
Mingcheng Apartments was taboo in Mu Anan’s heart.
Her mother and grandfather had died there.
It was not that Mu Anan had not been to Mingcheng Apartments in the past eight years, but she could not handle it even if it was just standing downstairs.
Zong Zhengyu immediately ordered, “Bring her back!”
“Yes, sir!”
“Wait, I’ll go personally!”
Downstairs of Mingcheng Apartments.
The black Cayenne had just stopped at the apartment entrance when Mu Anan felt a strong sense of oppression in her heart.
That apartment was where Mu Anan grew up. She was familiar with both the inside and outside of the apartment.
However, that place was also the beginning of her nightmare.
The place where her mother and grandfather died.
That place left a very strong psychological pressure on Mu Anan.
Before she even got out of the car, she felt as if her heart was being crushed by something. She had difficulty breathing and felt nauseous.
Along the way, Jiang Zhen expressed his gratitude to Mu Anan and employed the emotional tactic.
Mu Anan was originally in a bad mood. She felt even more uncomfortable and nervous as she sat there.
At the same time, Jiang Zhen had already opened the car door and got out.
He walked around the back of the car to the other side and opened the door for Mu Anan.
At the same time, Mu Anan took two deep breaths and adjusted her emotions.
Only then did she get out of the car while supporting herself on the seat.
Mu Anan felt a sharp pain in her heart when she saw the gilded sign of Mingcheng Apartments.
She wanted to take a step forward, but she couldn’t lift her feet at all.
It was too uncomfortable.
Jiang Zhen didn’t seem to notice Mu Anan’s condition and said, “Miss Anan, please.”
Mu Anan remained indifferent.
Jiang Zhen waited for a while. Seeing that Mu Anan had no intention of moving forward, he asked in confusion, “Miss Anan?”
Mu Anan was trying her best to move forward.
However, she was unable to take that step.
After a minute of silence, Mu Anan asked, “Does that package require an identity card with a name? You can’t take it even if you use your connections to pressure them?”
“Their security system is the strongest in the world.” Jiang Zhen said, “We must strictly follow the requirements of the person who delivered the package.”
Hearing that, Mu Anan was relieved.
She looked at Jiang Zhen and said, “Then I’m sorry. I’m afraid 1 can’t help you today.”
Jiang Zhen was a little surprised.
They were already at the entrance of the neighborhood. Why did she suddenly go back on her words?
“Miss Anan…”
“I checked my bag just now. I didn’t bring my identity card.” Mu Anan said.
That was not an excuse.
When Mu Anan got into the car, she realized she did not have the habit of carrying her identity card.
But she still followed.
She just wanted to see if she could overcome her psychological barrier.
In the end, when she reached the neighborhood entrance, her legs began to go weak, and she began to feel nauseous.
Mu Anan’s reason made Jiang Zhen suddenly speechless.
“Next time.” Mu Anan said, “Since I’ve promised to help you, I’ll help you.”
Hearing Mu Anan’s words, Jiang Zhen felt a little relieved.
“Thank you, Miss Anan. Shall 1 send you back now?”
“No need.” Mu Anan rejected him immediately, “I still have things to do.”
She didn’t give Jiang Zhen a chance to respond and turned to leave in another direction.
Jiang Zhen stood where he was and stared at Mu Anan’s back.
The details of Mu Anan from the moment she got into the car till then appeared in his mind.
Although Miss Anan hid her emotions well, Jiang Zhen still caught Mu Anan’s emotional fluctuation when she exited the car.
If she really were not Mu Qing’s daughter, she should not have any reaction to Mingcheng.
After a day of testing, Jiang Zhen was already half-convinced that Miss Anan was Mu Qing’s daughter!
As for the other half, he needed to test it further in the future.
If she were Mu Qing’s daughter, he would have to communicate with the people on Seventh Master’s side.
After all, Seventh Master was even more anxious than him in wanting the research proposal of the smart drug left behind by Mu Qing!
At that thought, a vicious and scheming look flashed across Jiang Zhen’s eyes.. He had completely forgotten that Mu Qing’s daughter was also his daughter!
