Chapter 728: I Can't Keep You by My Side (2)

Zuo An’s expression grew increasingly severe as he listened to her and, eventually, a malicious glint flashed across his eyes.

When Xu Weilai noticed it, she couldn’t help but ask, “What’s wrong?”

She pursed her lips lightly and, all of a sudden, seemed to have thought of something, for she then probed, “Do you know who it is?”

However, Zuo An’s expression quickly returned to normal. It was as if his earlier reaction was but a figment of Xu Weilai’s imagination. After he applied the medicine on her wound carefully, he looked up at her and flashed her his usual warm smile before he replied, “Rest well at home this weekend. I’ll be making a move. Call me anytime if anything happens.”

He simply ignored her question just like that.

Xu Weilai hesitated for a moment, but ultimately chose to drop the question. Zuo An obviously had an idea who her stalker was and he was clearly had no intention to reveal that person’s identity.

However, judging from his reaction, Xu Weilai could roughly guess the person’s identity. From what she knew, the only person that Zuo An was reluctant to talk about was his father.

“Sure, you should head home. Be careful on the road.”

This time, Zuo An did not dawdle and left quickly without hesitation.

When he reached the foot of the apartment and got into his car, he called Qiao Chu and put on his Bluetooth earpiece before he started the car engine.

When Qiao Chu answered the call, he went straight to the point and asked, “Who sent that man? Did you do it? Or was it my father?”

After a moment of silence, Qiao Chu decided to be truthful and owned up, “I was the one.”

Zuo An’s lips curled up into a cold smile as he concluded, “So my father was the one who gave the orders.”

He sounded so confident and certain of his conjecture.

Qiao Chu remained silent when he heard this.

“Qiao Chu, you’ve been with me for so long, Don’t you know who your master is?” Zuo An questioned angrily in an icy tone of voice that differed from his usual gentle temperament. “Since you’re so loyal to my father, then I can’t keep you by my side.”

Qiao Chu was momentarily stunned by his brashness but quickly calmed down and said, “Mr. Zuo, there will always be someone else even if it’s not me. You’ve gone overboard with your recent actions. CEO Zuo will not sit back and watch with indifference. I’m sure you’re aware of this.”

“But don’t worry. I merely instructed them to follow Miss Xu and snap some photos. I have no intention of hurting her. What happened this morning was just an accident.”

“An accident?” Zuo An repeated. When the thought of Xu Weilai’s badly injured palm and how she continued to put up a strong front despite the excruciating pain that she was experiencing flashed across his mind, he couldn’t help but flare up and yell, “I want her to be completely unharmed. If you can’t do it, then don’t bother to explain yourself.”

Qiao Chu closed his eyes and replied, “I’m sorry.”

“Get your men to back off. Don’t ever disturb her again!” Zuo An ordered coldly.

“Mr. Zuo…”

“I won’t repeat myself.”

After spitting out these words, Zuo An hung up the call and yanked off his Bluetooth headset before he tossed it aside and slammed hard on the accelerator. The car quickly sped out of the apartment block.

…

Zuo An vacated his apartment for Xu Weilai to stay in while he stayed in a hotel.

After he pulled over steadily in front of the entrance to the hotel, he flung open the car door open and got out. He then tossed the car keys to the valet beside him and strode into the hotel.

He had only taken two steps when he spotted the beautiful but aloof Zuo Si. She had crossed her arms over her chest and was standing by the side. The moment she saw him, she removed her sunglasses and flashed him a bewitching smile.

She had obviously been waiting for him.

Zuo An paused in his tracks and Zuo Si strutted over to him in her stilettoes before she sized him up. Unlike usual, Zuo An appeared rather dishevelled and was a sorry sight. Zuo Si smiled in satisfaction when she noticed this and she then emphasised, “I’m, here…to pass on a message on father’s behalf.”
