Chapter 846 Something Happened

After thinking these things through, Lin Tan's tense heart eased slightly.

Now all she needs to do is find time to talk to them about leaving. With her current savings, she can give them a sum of money so they have plenty of time to find work.

Or perhaps, she could return to Qin Mo's side.

But my flight is tomorrow morning...

Without further hesitation, she got out of bed, put on her everyday clothes, quickly packed her things, and sent a message to their group chat: "I have some urgent business to attend to and need to go back to Haicheng first. Are you coming with me or taking tomorrow's flight?"

Xiaofeng: [Now?]

Lin Tan: [Hmm.]

Xiaofeng: [I'll change my flight right away.]

Not long after.

Xiao Feng came up.

Seeing that she had taken her medicine, I felt less worried: "Sister Lin Tan, I've already changed my flight tickets. It should be about time for us to go to the airport now."

Lin Tan: "Okay."

After a brief conversation.

The group then packed their things and headed to the airport.

Lin Tan sent the message to Huo Sinian after boarding the plane: "Something urgent has come up, I have to go back now."

He specifically instructed her to travel with him on the private jet tomorrow morning, because if he didn't see her tomorrow, he might try some tricks. To avoid causing herself any trouble, it was better to let her know.

Huo Sinian was in a video conference when he received the message.

He only saw it after the meeting ended.

He didn't believe her explanation. He stared at that sentence for a long time before replying: "I was planning to give you a gift on the plane, but since you don't want it, I'll have to give it to someone else."

After he finished speaking, he opened the previous recording.

After securing the key section, he sent it to Qin Mo.

He gave her a chance.

He had planned that as long as she obediently waited until tomorrow to return to Haicheng with him, he would only let her listen to the recording if she failed to do so. But since she couldn't even wait one night, he had no choice but to share it with Qin Mo.

Lin Tan got off the plane around 1 a.m.

She didn't take his news to heart.

She didn't need his gift.

It took Lin Tan another forty minutes to get home.

Since it was already late, she didn't immediately tell Xiaofeng and the others about her plans. After a quick wash, she sent Qin Mo a message: "[I'm home.]"

Qin Mo was still awake.

His phone was playing a loop of Lin Tan and Huo Sinian's conversation.

"Where did I go wrong, hmm?"

"I shouldn't have called you President Huo at the table."

"Anything else?"

"You shouldn't have remained silent when you said we were engaged."

...

"How should I introduce myself next time?"

"fiancé."

Where is Qin Mo?

"friend."

"Can you still be friends with other people even if you have a fiancé?"

"He helped me a lot."

"Will I help you escape from me, or will I help you make things difficult for me? From now on, I don't want you to have any special relationship with him anymore. Next time you meet, cut ties with him."

"knew."

"good."

He listened to it over and over again.

They tried to glean from her words that Lin Tan was being blackmailed, but no matter how they listened, it sounded like she was saying it herself.

This tone was exactly the same as when she usually chatted with him.

Perhaps his emotions were affected by the recording, or perhaps he knew that Lin Tan was clearly with Huo Sinian but chose to lie to him and go to the bathroom, he unusually did not reply to Lin Tan's messages.

He lay in bed for a long time.

My mind is filled with thoughts of Lin Tan and Huo Sinian.

Reason told him that Lin Tan wasn't that kind of person; she was trying to avoid Huo Sinian, so how could she possibly be his fiancée? But Huo Sinian's recording and Lin Tan's lies still made him feel depressed.

He didn't sleep a wink that night.

The next day, just as dawn broke, he sent Lin Tan a message: "I'd like to meet you. Are you home?"

Lin Tan woke up very early: [Yes.]

Qin Mo: [I'm coming over now.]

He needed to ascertain her thoughts.

We need to determine the circumstances under which that recording was made, and why she lied to Huo Sinian about being in the bathroom when she was clearly with him.

Is it because you don't want him to know, or something else?

Lin Tan: [Okay.]

After replying to the message.

Lin Tan then prepared breakfast.

Time passed second by second.

After an hour had passed and Qin Mo still hadn't arrived, Lin Tan couldn't help but feel a little worried.

She messaged him, asking where he was.

Several minutes passed and no one replied.

She called him again.

No one answered the phone.

In a short time.

A bad feeling welled up in Lin Tan's heart, and she couldn't help but think of what Huo Sinian had said last night.

She wanted to contact Qin Mo through other people, but after going through her contacts, she realized that she had no other way to contact him. Secretary Wen was only with him during work hours, and Jiang Ruan and the others only saw each other during family gatherings.

Finally, she called Yun Ting: "Do you know any way to contact Qin Mo? He said he was coming to see me an hour ago, but he hasn't arrived yet, and no one is answering his phone."

"Wait a moment." Yun sent her a number as she spoke. "This person is President Qin's personal bodyguard, Bai Xu, who has been protecting him secretly for many years. You can ask him."

Lin Tan said "okay".

After hanging up, she called the person.

After the phone rang several times without being answered, Lin Tan frowned. Just as the call was about to end, the other end answered with a rather cold voice: "Hello, who is this?"

"I am Lin Tan," Lin Tan said. "Do you know where Qin Mo is?"

Bai Xu glanced at the people surrounded by doctors and simply said two words: "Hospital."

Lin Tan's heart suddenly tightened.

"President Qin was just in a car accident and suffered a head injury. He is currently undergoing examination." Bai Xu spoke coldly, even less warm than Qin Mo.

Lin Tan's head throbbed.

My hands were shaking as I held my phone.

Car accident?

Did Huo Sinian make it?

"Please tell me his floor and room, I'll be right there." Lin Tan's heart was pounding, and an unprecedented panic rose in her chest.

Bai Xu told her.

Lin Tan grabbed a mask and her keys and went out.

As she went downstairs, she couldn't help but question Huo Sinian: "Did you do this?"

Huo Sinian was puzzled by this message.

He was on his way to the airport at that moment.

With a slight thought, he looked at Secretary Ye and asked, "What happened in Haicheng?"

Lin Tan asked this question.

It's probably not about questioning him about sending the recording to Qin Mo.

Did he do it?

It's more like she encountered some danger? Or was she being harassed?

"Around 7 a.m. this morning, Qin Mo from the Qin Group was involved in a car accident at the Haichuan Avenue intersection," Secretary Ye reported based on a message from Haicheng. "President Qin's car collided with a truck that ran a red light."

Huo Sinian: "Dead?"

Secretary Ye: "No, no one has reported the specific details of the injuries yet."

Huo Sinian ran his fingertips along the phone screen for a while, then a slight smile curved his lips. He typed a few words on the screen: "Just reminding you, in case you forgot what you promised last night."
