Chapter 229 I Cannot Be an Accomplice
"I know without you telling me!" Lin Feng snorted twice with a hint of arrogance.
"Besides Miss Jiang, you can't be discovered by the Li family or the Qin family," Lin Bei instructed him, worried that he might not think clearly if he acted alone. "Miss Jiang's safety is at stake..."
Lin Feng: "You're so long-winded."
Lin Bei: "..."
never mind!
Although his older brother is not very reliable in his words, he is good at getting things done.
After giving some other safety instructions, he hung up the phone.
Jiang Ruan went straight home. Su Zhu was a little surprised to see her back so early: "Didn't you have dinner with your Aunt Bai?"
“She has other dinner engagements.” Jiang Ruan put down her car keys and looked around. “Where’s my mother?”
"I took Sui Sui out." Su Zhu yawned, clearly having just woken up. "They said they were going to meet some people and told me not to wait for them to eat."
Jiang Ruan sat down and poured herself a glass of water.
Seeing that her expression was a little strange, Su Zhu couldn't help but take a second look: "Did the negotiation go smoothly or not?"
Jiang Ruan carefully considered her words: "It went fairly smoothly."
Su Zhu: "Then why do you look like something big is about to happen?"
“Your previous guess was correct.” Jiang Ruan didn’t beat around the bush and told her the key point directly: “Su Anran’s benefactor’s identity is questionable; she’s a fake.”
Su Zhu: "!!!"
Su Zhu instantly snapped back to reality: "Are you sure?"
Jiang Ruan put down her water glass: "She said it herself."
She recounted her conversation with Su Anran in the car, concluding with her own thoughts: "What's uncertain now is the relationship between that person and Su Anran, and how Su Anran found out."
Most importantly, we need to know how Su Anran managed to deceive Huo Zhizhou.
It's not easy to convince him that she's his savior.
"These things are not important." Su Zhu's mind was very clear.
Jiang Ruan: "Then what's important?"
"Your divorce from Huo Zhizhou." As an outsider, Su Zhu saw everything more clearly. "Since she's 100% certain that person can help you successfully divorce Huo Zhizhou, just agree to her request."
Jiang Ruan frowned slightly.
I still felt some resistance.
She still hasn't gotten over what happened back then; she truly hates and dislikes her.
“I know what you’re thinking, but you’ve forgotten something,” Su Zhu said.
Jiang Ruan looked up at her.
Su Zhu casually picked up a bag of snacks and opened it: "Huo Zhizhou's retaliatory intent."
Jiang Ruan paused.
“Even if you do your best to help her hide it, given Huo Zhizhou’s personality, he will definitely use every means to find her and take revenge.” Su Zhu stuffed a snack into Jiang Ruan’s mouth. “By then, you will already be divorced, and they can fight each other slowly.”
Jiang Ruan went through everything in her mind.
Regardless of who that person is, the fact that Su Anran is afraid of being discovered means that her relationship with that person is either bad or not close, otherwise she could continue to impersonate them.
Su Zhu's method might work.
"Give her the call." Su Zhu couldn't wait to see Huo Zhizhou's expression after learning the truth.
Jiang Ruan removed Su Anran's phone number from the blacklist.
After calming myself down, I made a phone call.
Su Anran was at the hospital where Huo Zhizhou was when she saw the call. She hung up and sent him a text message: [Busy, will talk to you later.]
After sending the message, she put her phone on silent and went to Huo Zhizhou's hospital room.
Seeing him half-lying on the bed in his hospital gown, still using his laptop, Su Anran showed no emotion whatsoever, only coldly asking, "Did you manage to borrow the two hundred million?"
Huo Zhizhou looked up from the computer screen and said, "Hmm."
Su Anran: "When will you give it to me?"
“Under normal circumstances, I can give it to you now, and then we can sever all ties.” Huo Zhizhou’s thin lips parted slightly, his pure black eyes carrying a hint of authority.
“Then you can transfer the money to me.” Su Anran wasn’t completely stupid. “Draft another contract to ensure the money is from a legal source. Once I leave Haicheng, we’ll be even.”
Huo Zhizhou looked at her, exuding an aura of authority: "I'm talking about the normal situation."
Su Anran frowned slightly.
Her intuition told her something was wrong.
"Do you know Dr. Yin, who is lying in the ICU at Jingzhou First People's Hospital?" Huo Zhizhou asked.
Su Anran stiffened and quickly denied, "I don't know him."
Huo Zhizhou exposed him: "You don't know them and you're asking them to meet you at the top of the mountain?"
"You investigated me!" Su Anran finally realized something was wrong. She wondered how Huo Zhizhou, the president of the Huo Group and the number one on the rich list, could not have two hundred million in liquid cash.
So they're using this lull to investigate her.
She actually believed he had invested all the money!
“There must be something fishy going on,” Huo Zhizhou said calmly. “Avoiding risk is a businessman’s instinct.”
Su Anran clenched her hands tightly at her sides.
Huo Zhizhou!
"I won't call the police because you've done me a favor. You can choose to turn yourself in or wait for Dr. Yin to wake up and report me." Huo Zhizhou's nonchalant words put a lot of psychological pressure on people.
Su Anran's chest heaved violently; her dislike for him had reached its peak.
Huo Zhizhou added, "But I can't be an accomplice."
"I did arrange to meet Dr. Yin on the mountain, but something came up and I couldn't go." Su Anran suppressed her emotions, not wanting to leave any evidence against her. "His fall has nothing to do with me."
Anyway, she made arrangements in advance.
Even if the police investigate, they won't be able to find out the whole story.
"Did I say he fell and was unconscious?" Huo Zhizhou's tone was inherently authoritative.
Su Anran felt a lump in her throat. How could this couple be so fond of lying?!
"You can leave now," Huo Zhizhou said, dismissing him. "I won't let you go or give you any money until Dr. Yin wakes up. If you are a criminal, I would be an accomplice."
"Aren't you afraid I'll keep bothering you and make sure you and Jiang Ruan never have a happy day again?" Su Anran asked, her hands still clenched.
Huo Zhizhou met her gaze. "Do you think you still have a chance?"
Su Anran's hands, hanging at her sides, tightened little by little.
He had previously said that, aside from illegal and criminal activities, he would indulge her willfulness and temper tantrums.
But now...
"Of course I have! Dr. Yin's matter has nothing to do with me." She stubbornly denied it, since no one saw what happened at the time anyway. "If you don't give it to me now, it will be more than just this little bit later."
"Why don't you take a look at this?" Huo Zhizhou turned the notebook around to face her.
A hint of confusion flashed across Su Anran's wary and suspicious eyes.
She took two steps forward, and her pupils contracted after she saw what was on the screen.
How could this be...?
"Si Ning investigated." Seeing her expression, Huo Zhizhou began to suspect that Su Anran had a problem. "I don't care whether you went to get scar removal or plastic surgery, but to harm someone because of this..."
"I told you it wasn't me!" Su Anran couldn't help but panic.
Huo Zhizhou's eyes held a scrutinizing gaze.
She didn't need to be so afraid of something so ordinary.
Aside from this incident, there is highly unlikely to be any murder or illegal activity between her and Dr. Yin.
"I'm giving you a chance to be honest," Huo Zhizhou said. "What did you want with Dr. Yin a few years ago?"
