Chapter 426: Chapter 426: Call… Hubby (2) Chapter 426: Chapter 426: Call… Hubby (2) That day, Lu Wanwan seemed to be on the verge of speaking but stopped short, and he hadn’t given it much thought before he received the text message.
Having not seen her for a week, combined with his intentional misdirection about the photo incident, he knew how many grievances she must have had in her heart, probably wanting to bite him to death.
But after seeing that text message, his demeanor remained composed, yet his heart harbored a rare thread of tension.
It was unclear whether he wanted to see this happen or not, watching her lips moving, he almost held his breath.
Yet in the end, she didn’t mention it at all, which somewhat relaxed him.
Not because he didn’t want to, but because he would worry about Lu Wanwan’s approach.
He once told her that he disliked her going to great lengths to please him just to get certain things from him.
In fact, he could give her anything, but what he really wanted was to see just him in her eyes.
The door to the study was suddenly pushed open.
Gu Annan lifted his gaze and turned off his phone at the same time.
Unsurprisingly, the person standing at the door was Lu Wanwan, who wasn’t like usual–hesitant to leave immediately upon seeing him at the computer, nor did she walk in without any hesitation.
She entered the room, closed the door, and just stood at a neither close nor distant spot.
Her beautiful eyes were complicated, as she was there specifically to ask him for something.
“Come here,” Gu Annan relaxed his hand, letting the phone slide onto the desk.
Lu Wanwan didn’t come over, just stood opposite his study, seemingly pondering and weighing her words.
Her demeanor slowed his heartbeat by a few beats.
Especially after the things Lu Jingtian had hinted at over the phone, he noticed her serious manner.
“I need to ask for your help,” she began, word by word, clear and slow, “I want to investigate something recently but am somewhat at a loss on how to start.”
“I want to find out what exactly happened at the hospital on the last day my mother was there, whether there is any surveillance footage from that year available, as well as the staff who took care of my mother.”
Gu Annan slightly raised his eyebrows, a bit surprised by her request.
“Is there more to the story?”
Lu Wanwan’s brows tightened further, she nodded, her voice trembling slightly as she thought about those things.
“I went to a place today, where I found the caregiver who always looked after my grandmother. She told me something today, and I just found out what my grandma said to her before she died. My mother, she didn’t pass away due to her illness by accident, I need to get to the bottom of this!”
Gu Annan’s eyes narrowed slightly, “You have a suspect in mind.”
She nodded, her face pale, “I do. But I have no evidence, I need confirmation.”
“I’ll have someone look into it.”
“No,” Lu Wanwan pursed her lips, looking directly into his eyes, “Can I handle this matter myself?”
Gu Annan had been very busy lately, she didn’t want to distract him with this matter.
Moreover, she had relied on him too much already, the least she could do was to cause less trouble.
All she needed was to borrow a bit of manpower and resources.
“Sure, I’ll have someone contact you. Is that all you wanted to say?” he leaned back in his chair, his deep dark pupils fixated, “Is there nothing else, any other matters to discuss?”
Thinking he was eager to get back to work, Lu Wanwan shook her head after finishing her request.
“That’s all, you can go back to being busy. Uh… try to come down for dinner earlier later?”
Gu Annan was silent for a moment, then nodded.
