Chapter 229 Indirect Approach

Si Zuochen frowned slightly, lowered his eyes in thought, and after a moment of contemplation, slowly said, "I do have a plan, but I don't know if it's feasible?"

Upon hearing this, Si Youlin quickly leaned closer to his ear, and Si Zuochen took the opportunity to whisper a few words in his ear.

Upon hearing this, Si Youlin pursed his lips slightly, a hint of hesitation flashing across his face, before asking hesitantly, "Will this really work?"

Si Zuochen's eyes suddenly sharpened, and he replied in a deep voice, "We have no other choice but to take this approach now."

“Okay.” Si Youlin’s eyes flashed, and he replied softly.

Then proceed as planned, using the excuse of visiting the old man to leave temporarily.

Jiang Ran knew that the old man was recovering and did not suspect anything, so she agreed.

Before leaving, Si Zuochen glanced at Jiang Ran again, a complex emotion flickering in his eyes.

He hesitated slightly, but still did not tell her about their plan, lest it cause any unforeseen complications.

————

Si Zuochen and Si Youlin headed straight for the old house. As soon as they entered the main hall, they ran into the butler.

The butler looked at them, raised an eyebrow, and before they could ask any questions, he explained, "The old master is in the study."

"Okay," Si Zuochen replied softly, then nodded slightly to the butler as a gesture, before walking upstairs with Si Youlin.

"Knock knock knock—" A sudden knocking sound rang out from outside the door.

Old Master Si paused in his writing, then said in a deep voice, "Come in."

Upon hearing this, Si Zuochen pushed open the door and entered, with Si Youlin following slowly behind.

When Old Master Si looked up and saw the person who had arrived, his face immediately lit up with joy. He quickly put down his pen and chuckled, "You've arrived?"

Si Zuochen smiled slightly, responded softly, and then asked, "How are you feeling?"

Because of the scheme he was plotted against, Old Master Si's health has never been as good as before since he woke up. He was still fundamentally damaged by that incident, so he has been staying at home and undergoing rehabilitation treatment.

Upon hearing this, Old Master Si waved his hand dismissively and replied softly, "It's nothing serious, so don't worry too much. What I'm concerned about now is how the relationship between those two is going."

"Are we still as incompatible as before?"

Upon hearing the old man's question, Si Zuochen's eyes flashed, and he looked at Si Youlin meaningfully.

Si Youlin instantly understood, looked up at the old man, and a hint of complaint flashed in his tone: "How can there be any progress if we don't see each other for a long time?"

He paused slightly as he spoke, a hint of hesitation on his face. Seeing his hesitation, the old man looked puzzled and asked, "Haven't seen each other for a long time? What's going on?"

Si Youlin pursed his lips slightly, deliberately putting on an unspeakable expression, and slowly said, "Daddy spends a lot of time at the company or other properties and is often not home. The two of us rarely even have the chance to meet."

As she spoke, she glanced around and noticed a change in the old man's expression, then continued, "Given this situation, I suspect... that Daddy might have another woman by his side?"

As soon as Si Youlin finished speaking, Old Master Si's eyes suddenly sharpened, his brows furrowed, and his face was full of anger.

Although Si Youlin's words were unintentional, they were a subtle reminder to him.

Does Si Yanxiao have other women in his life?

Ah Lin couldn't possibly accuse him without any evidence, but if the person on the other end was Bai Zhuwei, then everything would make sense.

After all, Bai Zhuwei was not dead, and Si Yanxiao knew about this matter. With his abilities, finding the person would not be difficult.

The car accident that happened six years ago was caused by Bai Zhuwei, and he still feels guilty about it. How could he let her continue to have an ambiguous relationship with Si Yanxiao and let the previous incident "replay" itself?

Thinking of this, the old man's face hardened, and his expression became increasingly grim.

Si Zuochen noticed the old man's unusual expression. He and Si Youlin exchanged glances and nodded slightly, both understanding each other's thoughts.

It seemed that Si Youlin's indirect probing had worked. The old man had a guess in his heart, and a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes. He forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart.

His gaze lingered on Si Zuochen and Si Youlin, and he frowned slightly before speaking to comfort them, "Don't overthink it; this is just speculation."

"I'll look into the specifics..."

He paused slightly, his gaze darkening, before continuing, "Don't worry, Grandpa will absolutely not allow such a thing to happen! Even if something does happen, it won't continue!"

As Old Master Si spoke, his expression turned cold, and a sinister glint flashed in his eyes.

Given that Bai Zhuwei might also be involved in this matter, he didn't speak too definitively.

However, he had inadvertently revealed his attitude. Si Zuochen understood his unspoken meaning, his eyes narrowed slightly, but he didn't care.

In short, they already know the inside story, and now all they need is an opportunity to completely expose the woman and make her nowhere to hide.

At the same time, Gu Nan was in a senior management meeting at the company when his secretary suddenly approached and whispered in his ear, "It's Chairman Si on the phone."

Upon hearing this, Gu Nan frowned slightly, a look of surprise flashing across her face. She then gestured to him, and the meeting fell silent instantly.

Gu Nan took the phone and called out softly, "Uncle Si."

Old Master Si's face darkened, and he asked in a cold voice, "Where are you?"

"The company is in a meeting," Gu Nan explained gently.

Upon hearing this, Old Master Si pursed his lips and coldly scoffed, "Come to the old house right now!"

Gu Nan sensed the coldness in his tone and a bad feeling immediately rose in her heart.

With a slight pursing of his lips, a sense of unease rose in his heart, but he had no choice but to reply, "Okay."

The moment he finished speaking, the other end of the phone hung up.

Everyone present noticed that Gu Nan's expression was strange, and a look of doubt flashed across their faces.

Before anyone could even process what was happening, Gu Nan's eyes sharpened as he looked at everyone and said in a deep voice, "I'm sorry, I have urgent business to attend to. Today's meeting is adjourned. Each department should go and work on the issues raised earlier."

"I don't want to hear about similar issues at the next meeting!"

Having said that, he ignored the expressions on other people's faces and turned to leave.

The group was left with varying expressions, unable to understand why Assistant Gu, who always prioritized company affairs, would leave immediately after receiving a phone call.

Gu Nan drove at breakneck speed and rushed to the villa. As soon as she entered the main hall, she saw Old Master Si sitting on the sofa, with Si Zuochen and Si Youlin sitting on either side.

Seeing this, Gu Nan's eyes narrowed slightly, and a hint of doubt flashed across her face. She then took a few steps closer and asked in a low voice, "Did you call me here for something?"

Upon hearing this, Old Master Si's expression suddenly became somewhat solemn, and a hint of malice appeared in his eyes as he looked at Gu Nan.

He stared sharply at Gu Nan and asked in a cold voice, "What are you hiding from me?"

Hearing the questioning tone in the old man's voice, Gu Nan frowned slightly, realizing that he had probably heard some rumors and then came to ask him for the truth.

Thinking of this, Gu Nan's eyes sharpened, and she replied in a deep voice, "No."

Si Zuochen and Si Youlin sat beside him, both looking displeased.

Gu Nan vaguely guessed what the old man's purpose was, her eyes darkened, and the unease in her heart became more and more obvious.

However, that matter involved a wide range of people, and Si Yanxiao deliberately emphasized avoiding the old man. The matter had not yet been investigated clearly, and he was afraid that it would only increase misunderstandings. For now, he could only give a perfunctory answer.

When he saw that the old man denied it outright, a chill ran down his spine. He said sarcastically, "What? Do you want me to spell it out?"

Gu Nan pursed her lips slightly, lowered her eyes, and remained silent.

Seeing this, the old man's lips curled slightly, a cold glint flashing across his face. He then spoke in a cold voice, saying to himself, "Can you guarantee you know nothing about Bai Zhuwei's affairs?"

The old man looked down at him, his eyes full of doubt. Gu Nan and Si Yanxiao had a close relationship, so how could such an important matter as Bai Zhuwei not have been discussed with him?

joke!

When Gu Nan saw that the old man had seen through her, her eyes narrowed slightly, her lips tightened, and a look of helplessness flashed across her face.

Old Master Si took in the expression on his face and felt a chill run down his spine. He never expected that his guess would actually come true.

Gu Nan's hesitant words had already revealed everything. Upon realizing this, Old Master Si's expression suddenly changed, and he angrily rebuked, "What? You've forgotten everything I told you in just a few days?!"

"Don't you know what kind of person Bai Zhuwei is?"
