Chapter 906 Provocation? Or a Test?
The whole process happened so fast and suddenly that Qin Mo and Lin Tan didn't even have time to react.
"I need to talk to Teacher Lin Tan about something." Huo Sinian gripped Lin Tan's wrist, looking at Qin Mo with an aggressive gaze. "If President Qin is in a hurry, he can go in first."
Qin Mo subconsciously stepped forward.
Huo Sinian placed his other hand on Lin Tan's neck, a smile playing on his lips: "If you take another step forward, I can't guarantee what this hand will do."
Qin Mo stopped.
His gaze was fixed on Lin Tan's neck.
Lin Tan raised her foot and stomped on Huo Sinian. She didn't care if Huo Sinian would kill her. She just knew very well that she didn't want to be close to him or have any intimate contact with him.
"You stepped so lightly, you must not have eaten?" Huo Sinian said unhurriedly. "It seems you're not doing too well by Qin Mo's side either."
Lin Tan was about to step back again.
Huo Sinian then pinned her hands behind her back, pressing them against her waist: "You've lost weight. I used to feed you until you gained some flesh here, but now you're just bones."
"What exactly do you want?" Lin Tan only felt displeasure towards him.
"Qin Mo broke my glasses before, so I'm here to collect some interest." Huo Sinian spoke close to her ear, his warm breath sending shivers down her spine.
Lin Tan tried to break free from the conditional launch.
Huo Sinian, however, increased the force in his hand.
That moment.
Lin Tan felt her neck being tightened.
Qin Mo instinctively threw a punch at Huo Sinian, who then pushed Lin Tan away.
Lin Tan bumped right into Qin Mo.
“If I were really a bad guy, Lin Tan would have been dead just now.” Huo Sinian pushed up his glasses. “You didn’t act when you should have, but you rushed forward when you shouldn’t have. It seems you don’t care about Lin Tan that much.”
"Let's go." Lin Tan pulled Qin Mo back to the room. "Don't worry about him."
It only took a few seconds.
The door was then closed.
Qin Mo looked at the marks on her neck, his dark brows furrowing slightly: "I'm sorry, I didn't think it through."
“It has nothing to do with you, he’s the one at fault.” Lin Tan is a very rational person. “If you were in his hands, I would also have reservations.”
Huo Sinian was different from others.
He really does act recklessly.
She felt as if the force had stolen the air from her body.
“Moreover…” Lin Tan’s expression became more serious, “I always felt that his presence there was a bit strange. Based on his previous behavior, it’s impossible for him to have a conflict with you under these circumstances.”
Such behavior is very inconsistent with Huo Sinian's character.
Qin Mo: "I'll check."
“No need,” Lin Tan said. “If something really happens to him, he will definitely have a thorough plan.”
At the same time.
Huo Sinian has returned to his room.
He put the hair in his hand into a bag and sealed it.
"After obtaining the samples from Xie Chang'an and Madam Jun, we immediately sent them back to Jingzhou for testing," Huo Sinian said. "We'll let you know the results as soon as they're available."
"Okay," Secretary Ye replied.
Huo Sinian's eyes were still filled with thought.
Thinking about Qin Mo's reaction downstairs, he added one more thing: "Be careful when you're doing it, don't let anyone notice you."
Secretary Ye: "Understood."
"Make one for Haicheng too." Huo Sinian pushed up his glasses, his eyes were very indifferent. "But don't use Xie Chang'an's or Madam Jun's. Just find someone to make one for Lin Tan."
"Okay." Secretary Ye immediately went to make the arrangements.
Time flies.
Another week has passed in the blink of an eye.
Huo Sinian received the test results.
—Lin Tan is the daughter of Xie Chang'an and Lady Jun, identified as the biological father and mother.
Looking at this assessment result.
Huo Sinian put the appraisal report away.
"Are you sure the samples are from Xie Chang'an and Madam Jun?" Huo Sinian confirmed once again.
Secretary Ye: "Confirmed."
Huo Sinian smiled and said, "I'll give you a bonus next month."
Secretary Ye hesitated, then said, "However..."
Huo Sinian locked the appraisal report: "Speak."
“Ever since we left Haicheng, Qin Mo has been secretly sending people to keep an eye on us,” Secretary Ye said with some concern. “This morning we even went to that appraisal agency in Haicheng, and they might have already received the appraisal report.”
"It's okay, that one is fake." Huo Sinian wasn't worried at all.
Secretary Ye: "I'm worried that Qin Mo will go to see the Second Young Master."
Qin Mo was able to find the smoke bombs they had planted.
This means he definitely has some doubts.
Although the Huo family and Huo Group are controlled by the boss, it would be easy for the second young master to use their influence if he really wanted to. If he really wanted to investigate, he might be able to find out.
"Zhizhou knows what he's doing." Huo Sinian wasn't worried at all.
Although he loves Jiang Ruan and Sui Sui, he still lives off Jiang Ruan.
He looks like a vibrant, living person.
But he knew that Zhi Zhou was cold-hearted to the core, and he wouldn't let other people's trivial matters disrupt his and Jiang Ruan's peace, let alone that Sui Sui was now abroad to participate in a competition.
He has never been one to meddle in other people's business.
At the same time.
On Qin Mo's side.
He was with Lin Tan, holding the DNA test results in his hand.
"Is he doing a DNA test to find out who my biological parents are?" Lin Tan looked at her name on one of the lines and felt a sudden worry. "Does he know who my biological parents are?"
Qin Mo: "Based on the current reports, he should not be aware of it yet."
Lin Tan pursed her red lips tightly.
I don't know why.
I feel very uneasy.
This unease spread from my chest to my eyes and then to every part of my body.
“However…” Qin Mo stared at the identification report, where another person was identified by the code name A.
"But what?" Lin Tan asked.
“Huo Sinian couldn’t possibly be unaware that I could intercept him.” Qin Mo’s eyes were dark. “Was his decision to have this assessment done in Haicheng a provocation? Or a test?”
For him, Haicheng was like Jingzhou was to Huo Sinian.
He can find out most things here.
"Then what should we do?" Lin Tan asked.
She didn't know why her parents didn't want her, nor did she know whether she was abducted or abandoned by her parents.
This moment.
I'm still a little worried that Huo Si's annual meeting will hurt them.
"It's alright, I've already had someone investigate." Qin Mo was quite composed. "Huo Si Nian has been staying in Haicheng for some time now, so the clues were most likely found there. As long as we follow the paths he took, we should find something."
The words had barely left his mouth.
Qin Mo's phone rang.
The caller was his secretary, Wen Zhi.
"President Qin, I've sent the information you asked me to investigate to your email." Secretary Wen's voice was crisp and efficient. "Huo Sinian's behavior in Haicheng has been mostly normal, except for one strange thing."
"Where?" Qin Mo asked.
Secretary Wen: "He went to Xie Changyuan's house."
Xie Changyuan?
Qin Mo's brow furrowed immediately.
He didn't ask any more questions: "I understand."
After hanging up the phone, Qin Mo took Lin Tan out.
Seeing how quickly he acted, Lin Tan, who had gotten into the car, couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? Did you find out something?"
“Wen Zhi said that Huo Sinian went to Xie Changyuan’s house once.” Qin Mo did not hide it from her and told her the truth. “Xie Changyuan is Xie Yi’s uncle. He was expelled from the Xie family for committing a crime. More than 20 years ago, they lost a daughter.”
Lin Tan paused.
Qin Mo continued, "If Huo Sinian hadn't reminded me, I would have almost forgotten about this."
"Are you suggesting that I might be Xie Changyuan's daughter?" Lin Tan asked, though she felt it was impossible.
She looks like Madam Jun, not Uncle Xie.
If it's the latter, it might even be Xie Changyuan's child.
"No." Qin Mo wouldn't make such a basic mistake. "I wanted to ask him what Huo Sinian talked about with him, and also look into the relatives of Madam Jun."
They look so alike.
Even if it has nothing to do with Junyi, it is possible that it is related to Junyi's sisters, brothers, or cousins.
"Could this be a smokescreen set up by Huo Sinian?" Lin Tan wondered.
"Whether it's a smokescreen or not, we'll find out by asking," Qin Mo said.
Two hours later.
They arrived at Xie Changyuan's house.
Qin Mo went in alone, and once inside, he introduced himself and exchanged pleasantries with him.
After chatting for about half an hour, Xie Changyuan said directly, "You didn't come here today to visit me, an elder who was expelled from the Xie family, did you?"
"It's true I wanted to visit you, and it's also true I wanted to ask you something," Qin Mo said.
Xie Changyuan: "Go ahead."
Qin Mo looked into his eyes: "A week ago, Huo Sinian came to see you and talked to you about something."
Xie Changyuan: "Huo Sinian?"
Qin Mo: "Yes."
Xie Changyuan thought for a moment and said, "It's nothing. I just asked about Xie Chang'an and Junyi's daughter, but I had already been kicked out of the Xie family at that time, so I couldn't give him any answer."
