Xu Weilai had no intention of hiding from Zuo An. Zuo An looked at her slender and fair fingers as she pressed 110 without any hesitation.

In just half a second, Zuo An already knew what she wanted to do. He subconsciously wanted to reach out to stop her.

But, his actions were still too slow. Before he could lift his hand, the call was already connected. He heard Xu Weilais calm and determined voice entering his ears word by word.

Hello, I want to turn myself in.

Zuo Ans entire body froze. He sat on the chair in a daze. He was even more shocked now as compared to when he found out that Xu Weilai had voted for Zuo Si.

Or rather, he wasnt too astounded when Xu Weilai voted for Zuo Si. When he gave half of his shares to Xu Weilai, he was already gambling.

He gave the chips to Xu Weilai to bet on whether Xu Weilai would choose him.

It wasnt that he didnt trust Xu Weilai. But, his life had been filled with too much distrust. Every step he took was difficult. Every decision and move he made required careful consideration. He was used to scheming, he was used to holding back and saving a path of retreat for himself. He wasnt able to risk everything.

Therefore, even if Xu Weilai didnt choose him today, even if he didnt get the Gu Corporations CEO position today, it wasnt a big deal to him.

Gu Yu was dead and Grandpa Gu had been in a coma. Even if he woke up, what could he do?

He was already old and there was no successor. He was a formidable figure when he was young and could call the wind and summon the rain but he couldnt resist the natural course of life. He would still age, get ill, and die one day. He was old. It was the battlefield of the young now.

The decline of the Gu family was already destined.

He finally had a moment of relief. He finally had a new goal besides the last wish his mother had given him.

He wanted Xu Weilai purely because he felt at ease when she was beside him. This feeling was just like his mother being by his side. Ever since his mother passed away and he was brought back to the Zuo family, he had never felt peaceful at all.

Zuo An looked at Xu Weilai and moved his lips. He clearly had a lot of things he wanted to say. At this moment, his throat was blocked and he couldnt say a single word.

After Xu Weilai gave a simple explanation, she hung up the phone. All that was left was to wait for the police to come.

After half a minute, her phone rang. It was the Starbucks takeaway she had ordered.

She finally looked up at Zuo An. I promised you that I would give you an answer when the matter is over. Ill go downstairs to get the express delivery now. You wait for me on the roof. Ill give you an answer.

She didnt wait for his reply. She stood up straight and left the meeting room.

In the meeting room, Zuo Ans phone was still ringing tirelessly. He looked at the word Father that kept jumping on the screen. He took the phone but didnt pick up the call. The next second, he turned the phones screen upside down and slammed it heavily on the table.

When Xu Weilai carried the Starbucks bag to the roof, Zuo An was already standing in front of the railing, quietly looking at the blue sky and white clouds in the distance.

The position he was standing at happened to be the same position that she had stood at when she defected to him.

Xu Weilai walked forward and stood still. Suddenly, she felt as if many things had changed.

She took out the cup of Americano that she had ordered for him from the bag and handed it to him. Here.

Zuo An looked at her sideways and didnt take it for a moment.

Xu Weilai forced the Americano into his hand. Then, she took out her own cup of Latte. She poked a green straw into her cup and drank a mouthful.
