Gan Yuan trusted Moses, but Huangfu Jue had never trusted that man.
In those days, he had already looked into Moses’ background—a leader of the "Red Flame" organization, a conscienceless arms dealer...
Even before that, when Gan Yuan was entangled in rumors, not only did he refuse to help, but he also deliberately gave ambiguous answers to the media.
Huangfu Jue was also a man, and from the look in Moses’ eyes, he could tell what that man thought of Gan Yuan. How could he possibly trust such a man?
"Have someone watch him, including his assistant and subordinates. Investigate everything about him, company accounts, business partners... I want to know all his vulnerabilities and weaknesses," Huangfu Jue’s palm slammed down on the table, "If he really was behind these misdeeds, I’ll make him... suffer the consequences!"
This time, Will answered unequivocally.
In fact, he had taken a dislike to Moses a long time ago.
Having stayed by Huangfu Jue’s side for so long, he had never seen anyone dare to be so disrespectful to the Duke; he would not allow it to happen again.
"Is there anything else?"
Seeing that Will did not leave, Huangfu Jue frowned and asked.
"The Generals have been waiting for you in the council hall; you can’t miss this meeting," Will reminded softly, "You still have forty minutes. If you leave for the council hall now, you’ll make it in time."
Since National Day, his father had started handing over some military affairs to him to manage. This meeting, an important one with several high-ranking military officials, had been arranged a week in advance. To attend this meeting, high-ranking officials from different places had rushed to the Capital; it obviously couldn’t be easily changed.
Raising his hand to press on his temple, Huangfu Jue nodded slightly.
"Wait for me downstairs."
There were some things he was helpless to change.
Coming back from the study, when he re-entered the bedroom, the butler had already brought in the cooked plain congee, and Helen was on the phone dealing with journalists inquiring about Gan Yuan’s situation.
Seeing him enter, both of them tactfully retreated outside the door.
Huangfu Jue walked to the bedside and personally brought the congee to her, starting with an apology.
"I have a military meeting to attend."
"Then go," Gan Yuan smiled and raised her eyebrows at him, "I’m fine, I’ll eat and then take a nap."
The more dismissive she was, the more guilty he felt.
At such a time, he should be by her side, caring for and comforting her...
"All right!" Gan Yuan put down the congee bowl, "I’m not a child, and besides, I’m not injured. It was just a minor accident, not as serious as all that."
Stretching out his hand to wrap around her waist, Huangfu Jue gently stroked her back.
"I’ve been really busy lately, but once I complete these work handovers, I’ll definitely make time to take you and Xiaotang out to sea for a few days. Then, you can tell me to do whatever you want," he promised.
Gan Yuan looked up, "Are these your words? Don’t regret it later."
"Never!" his face was earnest.
She just laughed and moved in to affectionately kiss his chin.
"Hurry up, I want to have my congee."
"I’ll come back as soon as I can. After you eat, take a good rest," he said indulgently, kissing her forehead dominantly, "I’ll call back and check on you. If you dare to be naughty... you’ll bear the consequences!"
She playfully stuck her tongue out at him in response.
