Chapter 802 Throw Terence Under The Bus

At that moment

Gary had just arrived in his office.

"Sir, he's inside,"

Secretary Liu said the moment Gary was within earshot. He then opened the door and led Gary inside the room.

Gary specifically sent his people to take Rhys here, or else it would attract too much attention if he were to go to the police station himself.

With firm steps, Gary walked inside the room.

Inside, Rhys was still wondering why they brought him here. What's more, he had been in the room for a while. No one even came in and explained to him what happened or why he was brought here.

These had been in his thoughts for a while now. Then, out of nowhere, he heard the main door of the room open. He turned around only to see Gary walking in.

Rhys looked at the man from head to toe. He looked about the same age as his father. In fact, Rhys hadn't met Gary in person before, so he was not sure who he was.

"Mr. Vice President, do you know who I am?"

Gary asked kindly while he sat across from Rhys.

Rhys looked at him closely. He then marveled at the interior of the room and realized that it actually looked like a government office. It suddenly occurred to him that he had seen the man in front of him before. He couldn't remember when or how, but he knew that it was on the television.

"Are you Mayor Su?"

He asked with uncertainty written all over his face.

"Yes, I am. You don't need to be so formal with me. Please, just call me Gary." After which, Gary turned to his secretary and said, "Make a cup of tea for Mr. An. It's cold outside. Some tea will help him keep warm."

"Yes, sir. I'll be back in a second."

Secretary Liu bowed to the two men and left the office.

"Mr. S⁠ — I mean Gary, may I know why I was brought here?" Rhys was confused. Gary's last name was Su, but as far as he knew, the man had nothing to do with the An family.

"Don't worry. The AJ Group is a giant enterprise in JA City. A huge part of our government's taxes comes from your company. In that case, I think we're friends. Don't you think so?"

Then, Gary continued with a smile on his face, "I hear that Master Rhys's wife is the daughter of President Mu? A lot of people might not know about this but President Mu and I have been friends for a long time. And now that you're his son-in-law, I dare say that we have a lot of things connecting us."

But Rhys only became more and more confused with what he was hearing.

Rhys silently thought to himself, 'What the hell are his intentions for taking the initiative in establishing a relationship with me? What does he want? What is he planning to do?'

"Well, Gary, if you're trying to say something, I suggest that you make your point right away. What on earth did you want me to come here for?" Rhys asked candidly because he really wanted to find out the answers to his questions and he was honestly getting tired of thinking about it.

"Young man, please calm down."

Gary chuckled. At that moment, Secretary Liu came back with a tray containing two cups of tea. Gary gestured to give the first one to Rhys then he took the second

ould really tell you this. In summary, you shouldn't take every ounce of that blame. All you need to do is shift the blame to Terence when you testify. Not only can you overcome this problem, but there's also a high possibility that you can take over the AJ Group.

You want all of the things that I've mentioned, don't you?"

A gleam flashed in Gary's eyes while he continued to look at Rhys.

Up until that point, Rhys couldn't fully understand what Gary was hinting at. He knew that he wasn't stupid, but it took him such a long time to finally comprehend Gary's message. It was due to the fact that he had never thought of the situation like that.

"Gary, is this what you're trying to say? You want me to declare that it was my brother who asked me to take charge of the merger and acquisition. And so, its failure had nothing to do with me, is that correct?"

Rhys looked up at Gary, who was still holding the cup of warm tea on his hands.

"Yes, that's exactly what I was trying to say. As the CEO of the AJ Group, Terence is supposed to be in charge of the company's every move. But these days, he isn't even showing up, so to put the blame on him is perfectly reasonable. Now that he threw you under the bus, I don't see why you need to be kind to him at all."

Gary's smile had reached his eyes. He lifted up his glasses and said, "As the heir of the An family, if Terence couldn't fix this properly, then people shouldn't trust him anymore. When this happens, your father will do his best to support you in the future.

In that way, you can start being proud and confident in front of your wife and father-in-law. Naturally, your son will become the successor of the entire An family. He wouldn't have to face the same fate that you have. Your son wouldn't have to live in the shadow of his brother."

The smile on Gary's face got even wider. He looked at Rhys, who was still lost in his thoughts. Gary then stated, "This opportunity will never come again.

Mr. Vice President, you're a smart man. You know what you should do now, don't you?"
