Chapter 403 Huo Sinian's Visit
Huo Cheng was taken aback, his eyes filled with confusion and doubt: "When did I ever teach you such a rebellious thing!"
"When I was four, you saw other kids reciting poems off the cuff, and you came back and demanded that I recite a poem in three steps." Huo Zhizhou remembers the past very clearly. "I said I couldn't, and you said we could eat again when I could."
"You're talking nonsense!" Huo Cheng denied it.
Huo Zhizhou did not argue.
Those who cause harm can easily forget everything from the past; it is only the victims who remember those unforgettable things.
"Don't pin those unfounded accusations on me," Huo Cheng said. "How much can you remember from when you were four years old?"
"Do you know why you were brought here to live, but Mom didn't?" Huo Zhizhou asked calmly.
Huo Cheng paused.
Only then did I realize this problem.
“Because she now regrets and blames herself for everything she did in the past, she apologized to me and admitted her mistakes,” Huo Zhizhou said coldly. “She remembers the hurt and harshness she once caused me.”
Huo Cheng's expression changed.
Huo Zhizhou turned to leave, and before closing the door, he said, "Knock on the door whenever you remember. Lin Feng is outside."
After he finished speaking, the door was closed, and it was pitch black inside.
To achieve the desired effect, he specifically had the lights inside turned off.
"Bang bang bang!"
"Huo Zhizhou!"
"You unfilial son!"
"Once I get out, I will definitely go before our ancestors and sue you! I will remove you from the family genealogy!"
"Let me out!"
"Bang! Let me out!"
He kept banging on the door, trying to influence Huo Zhizhou's decision, but Huo Zhizhou's heart had already stopped wavering since the moment his best friend's family was killed by his scheme.
"BOSS." Lin Feng walked over.
"Keep an eye on him." Huo Zhizhou raised his eyes slightly, his voice as steady as ever. "Don't pay any attention to him unless he tells the truth, even if he's begging for death."
Lin Feng strictly followed the order: "Okay."
"Huo Zhizhou!" Huo Cheng was furious upon hearing this. "You unfilial son!"
Huo Zhizhou got up, left the basement, and returned to the top floor.
Lin Bei looked at his silent and lonely back and opened his mouth, but ultimately said nothing.
Lin Feng returned to the gym and sat down. He glanced at the room where Huo Cheng was locked up, and called out to Lin Bei with a serious expression, "Brother!"
Lin Bei's feelings were mixed: "What?"
Lin Feng said honestly, "Should we tell Miss Jiang about this? I feel like the BOSS isn't quite right right now."
"Let's not talk about it for now." Lin Bei had considered it before, but dismissed it. "Before we came, the BOSS specifically instructed that if we came along, we must not mention it to anyone. Telling Miss Jiang would be tantamount to betrayal, and the BOSS can't afford that right now."
"Isn't Miss Jiang one of our own?" Lin Feng's thinking was simple.
Lin Bei: "She's one of our own, but the boss has always been reluctant to let her get involved in these kinds of things."
Lin Feng asked again, "What if someone actually dies?"
Lin Bei paused.
He used to be 100% certain that the boss would act appropriately, but now he's suddenly a little uncertain about this matter.
He only knew the general idea of the conflict between the BOSS and Mr. Huo, and was not very clear about the details, but judging from the BOSS's condition these past few days, it was not very good.
"If it really comes to that, then we'll intervene and call Miss Jiang over."
"Is it too late?" Lin Feng asked directly. "Haicheng is so far from Jingzhou. By the time Miss Jiang arrives, the BOSS will have already figured out a way to control us."
Lin Bei pondered for a moment and quickly came up with a solution: "It's okay, I'll talk to Jiang Yu later. Judging from the current situation, the BOSS's father won't say anything today."
Lin Feng nodded: "That works too."
"You stay here and keep watch," Lin Bei said, picking up his coat and putting it on. "I'll go upstairs and keep an eye on things outside."
When he went up, Jiang Yuzheng was reporting to Huo Zhizhou: "Miss Jiang is doing well recently. She signed the second phase contract in the neighboring city a couple of days ago and is now living in Ruanyuan."
Huo Zhizhou: "Are you sure everything's alright?"
Jiang's Special Assistant: "Confirmed."
Huo Zhizhou thought about Li Chengxuan and the Qin family: "Are Mo Mo and Tang Bai by her side?"
"No, the two of them left after arriving at Ruanyuan, and their whereabouts are currently unknown." Assistant Jiang recounted everything he had found out. "President Gu went to see her half an hour ago."
Huo Zhizhou turned on his phone screen.
Ruan Ruan made that call half an hour ago.
"Send two small teams to secretly protect her." Huo Zhizhou was still worried. "Don't let Huo Sinian and Huo Cheng's men get close to her."
If Huo Sinian can't find the person, he will definitely try to make him hand them over. The only quick and effective way is to threaten him with Ruan Ruan. He will never let such a thing happen at this critical moment.
At the same time.
Huo Sinian arrived at the Soft Garden.
Looking at the unexpected visitor, Gu Shixi's eyes were filled with wariness, so much so that his words were barbed: "Your news comes fast. You already know that Jiang Ruan just arrived here."
Huo Sinian pushed up his glasses: "Aren't you one too?"
Gu Shixi: "..."
"What do you want?" Jiang Ruan didn't bother with pleasantries and got straight to the point.
"You should have received the message I sent you." Huo Sinian sat down on the sofa, exuding a refined and gentle aura. "Zhi Zhou is currently doing some outrageous things, and I hope you can help me find him and stop him."
Jiang Ruan didn't respond, waiting for him to continue.
Huo Sinian looked into her eyes: "You probably don't want him to go down the path of crime either."
Jiang Ruan said calmly, "Mr. Huo would fabricate a crime against his own brother that doesn't exist."
“You know in your heart that he took your father away to force out the truth of what happened back then.” Huo Sinian’s gaze met hers. “Given his personality, you can’t be unaware of the impulsive things he might do.”
“I don’t understand what you’re saying,” Jiang Ruan said. “If you came here just to say these nonsensical things to me, you can leave now.”
Huo Sinian remained gentle: "You don't need to be wary of me, I didn't bring any recording equipment."
"Isn't this a classic case of protesting too much?" Jiang Ruan remained calm. "Who cares if we're recording a normal conversation?"
Huo Sinian remained silent.
Jiang Ruan continued, her tone clear and calm: "If there's nothing else, please leave. Huo Zhizhou and I are already divorced. How you fight is your own business, but don't drag me into it."
"Aren't you afraid he might do something impulsive?" Huo Sinian asked.
"Aren't you afraid the police will find out what you did before?" Jiang Ruan asked rhetorically.
A hint of doubt flashed across Huo Sinian's face: "What do you mean?"
Jiang Ruan replied to him, "I wanted to ask you that too."
With just a few words of conversation, Huo Sinian knew that Jiang Ruan was doing it on purpose. She had no intention of talking to him about this directly, but whether they talked or not was not important to him. All he wanted was the process and behavior of coming here, in order to disrupt Huo Zhizhou.
"In that case, I won't linger any longer." He stood up, glancing back and forth between Jiang Ruan and Gu Shixi. "I've said what I needed to say. What you do next is up to you."
