Chapter 557 Only the dead can keep a secret forever
The next morning, Huo Zhizhou set off for overseas.
He gave himself a month to adjust. After a month, he would either be tormented by extreme longing and maladjustment, or he would have adapted to living according to Ruan Ruan's requirements.
Regardless of which one.
The results are already in.
"Have you found any evidence of what happened to Mom back then?" Huo Zhizhou asked Jiang Yu before leaving.
“We’ve investigated most of them, but none of them can be used as direct evidence,” Assistant Jiang replied. “To get direct evidence, we need to convince the original driver, but Ms. Jiang is also in contact with her.”
"Have someone keep an eye on the situation in Haicheng," Huo Zhizhou said. "If there isn't enough evidence in the end, use any means necessary to get that driver to turn himself in and testify."
This is the thing Ruanruan wants to do most right now.
He hoped she would succeed.
Jiang, Special Assistant: "Okay."
"In addition—" Huo Zhizhou paused here.
Assistant Jiang looked at him.
Huo Zhizhou remained silent for a moment before saying, "We'll talk about it when we get abroad."
Jiang, Special Assistant: "Okay."
He just took off, and Sui Sui just got up.
He wanted to call his father to see if he was really away on a business trip, but he noticed that his step count had changed. He tried calling him, but the call wouldn't go through.
Is it really a business trip?
Jiang Ruan woke him up and saw him staring blankly at his children's watch: "What are you looking at, baby?"
"Mommy."
"Um?"
"Does Dad still have a lot of work to do?" Sui Sui asked directly.
“Probably.” Jiang Ruan thought for a moment and said slowly, “He holds a lot of shares in listed companies, and many important matters require his decision, so he is naturally very busy.”
Sui Sui nodded: "I see."
"Don't worry, he won't be busy all the time." Jiang Ruan mistakenly thought he was thinking about not being able to spend time with Huo Zhizhou during the holiday. "When he comes back, I'll have Mo Mo send you to stay with him for a few days."
Sui Sui's round eyes looked at her.
Jiang Ruan asked gently, "What's wrong?"
"Why don't you stop me from seeing Daddy?" Sui Sui thought her mother was too good. "He treated you like that and made you unhappy and sad. He's a bad person."
Jiang Ruan affectionately pinched his nose.
Everything he said was sincere: "Although he wasn't a good person, he was a good father. He always cared about you and was very attentive to you."
"If only he hadn't made that stupid mistake." Sui Sui rarely said such a thing.
Before Dad and Mom separated, their family was really happy, but now—
Thinking about this...
Sui Sui's eyes darted around.
It seems to be going well now. His life hasn't been affected much, and Mommy is doing better and better. The only one who's truly unhappy is Daddy.
"Mommy, give me a hug." Jiang Ruan had no idea that he had so many thoughts running through his mind at this moment, and just assumed that he still liked the days when the three of them were together.
Sui Sui happily hugged her.
Looking at the expression on his face, a hint of surprise flashed in Jiang Ruan's eyes.
I was feeling a little emo just now, and I'm all better now?
"Mommy, let's go out and play later!" Sui Sui said, tilting her little head.
Jiang Ruan readily agreed: "Okay."
Over the next two days, Jiang Ruan and Jiang An took Sui Sui out to play, and the three of them had a relaxed and enjoyable time.
Compared to them.
Qin Muchuan's situation was much more difficult and depressing.
For several days in a row, all he heard were rumors about them harming Jiang An. Whenever he went out, people would ask him if it was true, so he didn't attend any banquets or dinners during this period.
No.
I called Qin Luofeng back during the holiday.
Seeing his nonchalant and nonchalant attitude, Qin Muchuan was furious: "Didn't I tell you to investigate? Have you found out who spread the rumors?"
"No results found." Qin Luofeng pinched the bridge of his nose.
Qin Muchuan became more suspicious: "Is there something you can't find out?"
In the past, he could usually find out what he was asked to investigate in a short time, or at the very least, he would have some clues.
Is there really no one that can be found?
"Is it that you really can't find it, or are you just not trying?" Qin Muchuan stared at him.
"I have absolutely no clue." Qin Luofeng's mind was a bit of a mess. He had indeed investigated thoroughly. "Those rumors seem to have suddenly appeared in those people's memories."
Qin Muchuan's breath hitched: "It must be Jiang Ruan's doing!"
"It's unlikely. She's only integrated into the Qin Group's shareholder structure and hasn't gotten to know the various departments yet," Qin Luofeng said seriously. "If she wants to do something secretly, she can only use the Qin Group's resources, but from what I've found, she hasn't contacted those people."
"Then who else could it be?" Qin Muchuan asked anxiously.
“Aunt, Huo Zhizhou,” Qin Luofeng said, then added as if she had thought of something, “or perhaps the eldest daughter of the Chi family.”
Qin Muchuan: "??"
Qin Muchuan frowned: "Shallow pool?"
"She's been in contact with Jiang Ruan. At her last birthday party, Jiang Ruan gave her a necklace that was quite valuable," Qin Luofeng said, emphasizing each word.
Qin Muchuan asked, "Do you think it's her?"
Qin Luofeng: "It shouldn't be."
He initially proposed a collaboration with Chi Qian, but Chi Qian refused.
She has always been a prudent person who avoids trouble and rarely does anything that might get her into trouble. Since this matter involves internal power struggles within the Qin family, it is even less likely that she will intervene.
“I suspect Huo Zhizhou more than her.” Qin Luofeng’s eyes darkened slightly. “I heard he’s trying to win Jiang Ruan’s favor in every way possible. It’s hard to say he won’t use this to gain Jiang Ruan’s affection for him.”
"If it really is Huo Zhizhou, then we're in trouble." Qin Muchuan's expression darkened slightly.
“Yes,” Qin Luofeng said, “so I don’t recommend fighting him.”
Fighting with Huo Zhizhou will never end well.
Even if he can't get evidence in this matter, he has a million ways to send them in.
That person's methods were far beyond his reach.
“If this keeps spreading, the whole circle will know in no time.” Qin Muchuan’s expression was not good. “We must resolve this before it spreads completely, otherwise it will be a big problem if your grandfather hears about it.”
Qin Luofeng did not speak.
He had no idea how to solve it.
My opponent is Huo Zhizhou, and I have no chance of winning.
"Have you dealt with He Jia's situation?" Qin Muchuan asked.
Qin Luofeng: "Didn't we already make that clear last time?"
"That's all well and good, how do you know she won't betray us for her own benefit?" Qin Muchuan was ruthless and inhuman when he got angry. "Only the dead can keep secrets forever."
"Kill them, and then leave more leverage for Jiang Ruan and Huo Zhizhou?" Qin Luofeng said calmly, his whole being exuding a deathly silence.
Qin Muchuan: "?"
Qin Luofeng leaned back on the sofa, feeling that since Jiang Ruan returned to Haicheng, their peaceful days had become uneasy: "If we don't touch her, Jiang Ruan and the others might not be able to find any leverage, but if we do touch her, they will definitely be able to find leverage."
