Heads-up! The CEO's Wife is a Hidden Big Boss! novel Chapter 1065

Chapter 1065: Country D’s Political Reshuffle!

Editor: Atlas Studios

The black motorcade parked neatly in front of the main building of the President’s House.

He Yidu walked over, his voice raspy and low. "Brother Cheng."

Standing in front of the car, Lu Chengzhou frowned when he didn’t find Gu Si among the crowd. He asked coldly, "Where’s Gu Si?"

He Yidu answered, "He went to the guest room to rest after lunch. Elder Bai went up and called him."

The moment Qin Fang got out of the car and saw He Yidu’s face, he stretched his neck out and widened his eyes in shock. "He Yidu, you..."

He Yidu didn’t manage to sleep well the night before, so his eyes were bloodshot. It was obvious that he was in a foul mood.

This was exactly why Lu Chengzhou, Qin Fang, and He Yidu never showed up in political gatherings. Their presence represented their influence and country. A lot of times, they had no choice but to take the big picture into consideration as there were a lot of things to take into consideration.

Had it been their usual way of doing things, they would’ve demolished Devil Prison long ago. But they couldn’t do so now, for there were too many complications. That was why the gentle-natured He Yidu was so angry.

"Mr. Lu, Mrs. Lu, Mr. Qin." Smiling, Meyett stepped forward and stretched out his hand before turning to Huo Zhi. "I see that Mr. Huo is also here."

Lu Chengzhou, who was dressed in a black ensemble, lazily rested his arm on the car door and let his fair wrist droop down. He looked somewhat cold and lackadaisical as he flashed a half-smile at Meyett. It didn’t seem like he had any intentions of shaking Meyett’s hand.

Lu Chengzhou rarely appeared in public. In fact, there wasn’t any need for him to do so when the Lu family had people specifically responsible for liaising with the royal and aristocratic families from all around the world. Hence, this was the first time Meyett was meeting this legendary patriarch of the Lu family other than his wedding day.

The other party’s overwhelming presence, however, made Meyett feel somewhat uncomfortable. He felt slightly embarrassed as he stared at his hand that was still frozen in mid-air.

Eventually, Huo Zhi extended his own hand and shook Meyett’s hand to diffuse the awkwardness. "President Meyett."

Meyett nodded gratefully, only to freeze when he saw Gu Mang still sitting in the car and playing her mobile game with her legs crossed.

That was when Miraine spoke. "Please go inside to rest."

"No need." Lu Chengzhou tilted his head slightly in nonchalance.

He Yidu didn’t understand what was going on at first. It was only when he saw Gu Mang still sitting in the car that he realized that Gu Mang had no intention of treating Sasha’s hand.

Miraine’s expression became a little strained, although she maintained the smile on her face. "What do you mean, Mr. Lu? Didn’t we agree that we’ll let Xixi go after the Miracle Doctor treats my daughter’s hand? We need to appease the members of the cabinet and intelligence bureau."

"Hah." Qin Fang crossed his arms in front of his chest. "What do we mean? Can’t you tell at all? Go get another doctor for your daughter."

Our medical team is helpless, and even the medical organization said that we can only look for Gu Mang for help. So where else can we find a doctor to treat Sasha?! Miraine’s eyes glowed red out of anger as she pursed her lips and said calmly, "Are you going against your word?" Aren’t Lin Shuang and Young Madam Lu good friends? But she looks like she only intends to fetch Gu Si.

"Brother Cheng..." He Yidu looked at Lu Chengzhou with a worried frown.

"Don’t worry, buddy. The Gray Building has sent someone over." Qin Fang cocked an eyebrow at Miraine before glancing down at his watch with a smug smile. "They’ve probably arrived at Devil Prison by now."

He Yidu was stunned to hear that. How did they get The Gray Building to help out when we have no connections with The Gray Building? They won’t work for just money. On top of that, they’ve been investigating and dealing with us.

All of a sudden, a realization struck his mind. He stiffly turned his neck to look at Gu Mang, who was still sitting in the car with her head down.

Upon hearing the words ’The Gray Building,’ Miraine frowned. The Gray Building will surely give us a heads-up if they’re getting involved in this matter, and it takes at least a day for the documents to be approved. They’ll usually contact us straight away if there’s anything urgent... It’s impossible.

However, as soon as the thought appeared in her mind, she heard a phone ring.

It was Meyett’s phone.

He took out his phone and saw a string of encrypted numbers along with The Gray Building’s logo on the screen. He picked up the call, thinking that it was one of the higher-ups, only to realize that the caller was the head of The Gray Building. In a very polite manner, he said, "Hello, I’m Meyett."

He was surprised that this mysterious figure had stepped in to handle this matter.

The call lasted only ten seconds or so. The other party seemed to be only calling to inform Meyett about something. The call ended as soon as the other party heard Meyett’s response.

As Miraine watched Meyett let his hand fall, she squeezed her fingers tightly. "Did they take Xixi away?"

Meyett quietly nodded, although hints of anger could be seen surfacing in his eyes upon having his authority challenged.

The Secretary of State, who stood next to them, paled. "This is the president’s family affairs. What is Mr. Lu trying to do by getting The Gray Building involved?"

"Family affairs?" He Yidu scoffed, his gaze glacial. "Why do I remember the cabinet members saying that this is a national affair?"

Qin Fang cocked his eyebrow. "You guys wanted to deal with it based on national affairs, so we did accordingly. We’re okay with however you want to deal with this matter, by law or in private. We can also let the people at The Gray Building know how arrogant you are to say that Shadow League’s Nine Tails is jealous of the technical division’s head."

The cabinet members’ faces instantly darkened.

Qin Fang swept his gaze over those people. "You people sure are short-sighted for your age."

It was already late in the evening, but the area outside the President’s House was illuminated by the lights from inside. Thus, Lu Yī was able to clearly see the faces that were contorted with anger.

A dead silence descended upon them.

With things reaching this stage and The Gray Building meddling in this matter, there was no longer a need for Meyett and the others to continue insisting on their stance. He shot a warning glare to the Secretary of State in a bid to make the latter keep his silence. Then, he politely turned to Lu Chengzhou and said, "Mr. Lu, there really wasn’t a need to trouble The Gray Building. As a father, it was my fault for not handling my daughters’ conflict properly."

Lu Chengzhou looked toward the entrance of the President’s House. Upon noticing that Gu Si wasn’t out yet, he lifted his chin and ordered Lu Yī, "Go check on Gu Si."

Apparently, he had turned a deaf ear to Meyett.

"Okay." Lu Yī cupped his hands in obedience and followed Shadi’s lead into the President’s House.

Feeling thoroughly humiliated, Meyett’s eyes darkened. Still, he kept his temper in check and tried expressing his goodwill toward Gu Mang once more. "Young Madam Lu, you’re the only person who can treat Sasha’s hand. Please feel free to state your price."

For the sake of Sasha’s hand, Miraine could only give in and asked Gu Mang for help. "Young Madam Lu, we’ll accept any request you have as long as you’re able to treat my daughter’s hand."

"Sorry, Madam Miraine, but you can go find the person you’re working with to treat your daughter’s hand." Qin Fang sneered. The gall of them to ask Gu Mang for help when they dared to scheme against her! Treat their daughter’s hand? Fat chance!

Miraine’s heart dropped when she heard that. "What are you trying to say?"

Qin Fang was just about to say something when Gu Si, Elder Bai, and the others walked out of the President’s House.

Lu Yī, who ran into them at the entrance, cupped his hands in obeisance and bowed. "Little Young Master."

After giving it some thought, he then greeted Tang Yi, who was standing next to Gu Si. "Ms. Tang."

He was very good at taking stock of the situation.

Gu Si nodded and walked forward, his gaze sweeping across the crowd. When he failed to spot his sister in the crowd, he asked, "My sis didn’t come?"

Lu Yī walked half a step behind him. "Young Madam is in the car."

When they walked over to the car, Gu Si frowned in disgust upon seeing Huo Zhi. "Huo Zhi? What are you doing here?"

Huo Zhi couldn’t help but chuckle after having heard the exact same sentence from Gu Mang earlier. "I’m accompanying your sister."

"Don’t embellish yourself. Why would my sister need your company when she has my brother-in-law?" Gu Si rolled his eyes at Huo Zhi before walking over to Lu Chengzhou’s side.

Huo Zhi was used to this as Gu Si had never once treated him well before.

Elder Bai, who hadn’t seen Huo Zhi for some time, was surprised by his appearance. He bowed deeply at his waist. "Young Lady, Young Master, Mr. Huo."

No matter what, Huo Zhi was once the Director of Jijing Island. Thus, Elder Bai had to show him some respect.

Gu Si turned to flash a toothy grin at Gu Mang. "Sis."

Gu Mang looked up to see Gu Si running toward her. However, her eyes suddenly narrowed as she stared at him in a sharp and cold manner.

Sensing the change in Gu Mang’s aura, Lu Chengzhou looked sideways to see his wife getting out of the car. Her eyes were as cold as knives and filled with hostility. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

"He’s not Gu Si!" Gu Mang stated, her voice low, cold, and vicious.

Her words shocked everyone present, and they instinctively turned to look at the said boy. What is Gu Mang saying? This boy isn’t Gu Si?

The gleeful smile on Xu Hui’s face vanished, and the corners of his lips stiffened upon realizing that his identity had been exposed. He was standing extremely close to Gu Mang when he suddenly took out a dagger from his sleeves and stabbed it in Gu Mang’s direction.

Everyone’s face paled when they saw this scene.

Elder Bai shouted, "Young Lady!"

Using one hand for support, Xu Hui flipped over the car. Then, he bypassed Lu Chengzhou, who was in the way, and swung his dagger at Gu Mang from the side at a tricky angle. He moved so fast that wind had formed.

With a darkened expression, Lu Chengzhou pulled Gu Mang backward, grabbed and twisted Xu Hui’s arm, and then kicked the fallen dagger away.

The dagger ended being buried into the marble ground, which cracked as a result.

Seeing this, Xu Hui very calmly aimed a kick at Lu Chengzhou but got grabbed by the wrist and pulled off the car roof instead.

Lu Chengzhou single handedly pinned Xu Hui’s arm to his back.

When Xu Hui couldn’t break free from the arm lock, he swung his other arm backward, aiming for Lu Chengzhou’s waist. But before he could elbow Lu Chengzhou’s stomach, he got kicked in the back of his knee, making him fall on a knee.

Lu Chengzhou then speedily subdued Xu Hui with a few moves.

The child, who was as tall as Gu Si, put up a fervent struggle.

Qin Fang, He Yidu, and the others hurriedly came over in confusion and fluster. "Brother Cheng, what’s going on?"

Everyone looked at the boy that Lu Chengzhou had subdued with shock. This boy isn’t Gu Si?! If that’s the case, then his acting was frigging good!

Tang Yi ran over with red-rimmed eyes, crying, "Sis Gu, Elder Bai, that’s not Brother Gu Si... That’s not him..." Brother Gu Si would hold my hand.

"Don’t cry, Ms. Tang..." Elder Bai hurriedly brought Tang Yi to the side.

Things were somewhat chaotic.

Gu Mang swept a hostile gaze over to Miraine, who felt her scalp going numb when she met the other’s eyes. The latter couldn’t help retreating as a wave of fear washed over her.

Even without Gu Mang’s orders, Lu Qi and Lu Jiu speedily went over to the group of people from the President’s House and dragged Miraine to Gu Mang.

Gu Mang’s eyes glowed red and exuded viciousness as she stared at Miraine and asked, "Where have you taken Gu Si?"

The murderous aura she exuded made one’s hair stand on end, and their bones feel cold.

"What are you talking about, Mrs. Lu? Didn’t Mr. Lu knock Gu Si out?" Miraine refused to admit it.

Lu Chengzhou, who had knocked Xu Hui unconscious with one hand, threw the boy over to Lu Yī. "Keep a close eye on him."

"Understood." Lu Yī then summoned his subordinates and instructed them on something before carrying Xu Hui to the back of the car with them.

Miraine glared at Gu Mang and screeched, "What on earth do you want to do by causing a scene at the President’s House?! This is Country D’s President’s House! This isn’t the capital, much less Jijing Island!"

Gu Mang let out a haunting and wicked laugh that made Miraine tense up. Deciding not to waste any more breath on the latter, the former lifted her chin and ordered in a bone-chilling voice, "Go invite the second princess to come down."

"Gu Mang!" Horrified, Miraine rushed to the security guards when she saw Lu Qi and the others turning around to do as told and shouted, "What are you guys still standing there for?! Go stop them!"

The armed security guards immediately swarmed forward.

"Stop!" Meyett barked. His usually composed face looked flustered. Gu Si must’ve been swapped! Right here in the President’s House, in fact! If something were to happen to Jijing Island’s director right in Country D, we’d have to go to international arbitration!

He took a step forward and said in a somewhat shaky voice, "Young Madam Lu, could this be a misunderstanding?"

Gu Mang didn’t respond to him.

"Misunderstanding?" The smile on Qin Fang’s face faded and was replaced by ruthlessness. "You might not be aware of this, but your wife and second daughter colluded with Jijing Island’s most wanted criminal, Xu Ying."

Meyett turned to Miraine in shock.

Lu Chengzhou walked over to Gu Mang’s side and swept his cold and deep gaze over at Miraine and the cabinet members. "Perhaps I should change the question. Where’s Xu Ying?"

"Young Master Lu." Lu Chengzhou heard Lu Yi calling him through his earphone.

"The boy doesn’t seem to be in disguise." Lu Yī sounded somewhat confused as he paused and added, "It’s better to let Young Madam to take a look at him herself."

Gu Mang was also wearing an earphone, so she heard what Lu Yī said. After silently exchanging a glance with Lu Chengzhou, they walked toward the back of the car hand in hand.

Qin Fang, He Yidu, Huo Zhi, and the others followed them.

...

"Young Master Lu, Young Madam Lu." Lu Yī made space for them as he said hesitantly, "He doesn’t seem to be in disguise, but he also... doesn’t seem to have undergone plastic surgery."

"What?" Qin Fang was completely confused. No disguise and no surgical procedures done? So he naturally looks the same as Gu Si?

Gu Mang took a pair of rubber gloves from Lu Qi and started feeling Xu Hui’s scalp to his chin. Lu Yī’s right.

Their surroundings were disturbingly quiet.

When Gu Mang remained silent, Qin Fang and the others immediately knew that Lu Yī’s conclusion must be right. Then what’s going on with this child?

Huo Zhi’s impenetrable gaze fell on Xu Hui for several seconds before he looked down in deep thought.

Xu Ying was sitting on a black leather sofa and holding onto a teacup when he heard this. He looked over, only to see that the group had one more person—Lu Yī—in their midst than what he had requested. Never mind, it’s enough that Gu Mang and Lu Chengzhou are here.

Lu Chengzhou frowned as he looked at Xu Hui’s face. How could he look so alike to Gu Si without being in disguise or undergoing cosmetic procedures?

All of a sudden, it occurred to him that Gu Zhen and Gu Xian looked identical as well and that Gu Mang had previously hurt her hand on Jijing Island because she mistook Gu Xian for her father. Twins... In that case, Gu Si and Xu Hui are also...

Bam!

Xu Ying stared dumbly at his subordinate, who had gotten shot in the shoulder, and when he finally returned to his senses, he glared angrily at Xu Hui. "You’re not Xu Hui! You—!" Are Gu Si! Gu Si! The one that was brought back unconscious is Xu Hui!
