Chapter 691 Weaknesses and Achilles' Heel
Those two didn't have many principles. As long as they saw that the BOSS was not doing well, they would do everything they could to make the BOSS better. They wouldn't just watch the BOSS die.
"I'll find a way to get them away." Huo Zhizhou had thought about this and had his own plan in mind.
Jiang hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.
Huo Zhizhou said, "Speak freely."
“Those two have been by your side for a long time. Even if you send them away, you can still find them through some means,” Jiang Yu said truthfully.
He and Lin Bei knew the BOSS best.
From minor details like daily habits to major matters like the various companies the BOSS holds shares in, as well as his assets and influence.
Huo Zhizhou thought for a moment.
That's true.
"What can you do?"
“We can have Miss Si Ning monitor their phones,” Jiang Yu said, looking at Huo Zhizhou and watching his emotional changes. “Once they discover anything related to you, they should intercept it immediately.”
“Miss Si Ning is also quite concerned about how you hurt Miss Jiang. Even if she knows that your condition is very bad, she probably won’t tell Miss Jiang. At most, she will come to collect your body after you die.”
Huo Zhizhou's eyes darkened slightly.
This is indeed Si Ning's style of doing things.
"If possible, I'll talk to them both tomorrow," Assistant Jiang said.
"Let me think about it." Huo Zhizhou did not immediately agree.
Not to mention whether Si Ning will agree or not.
Even if she agreed, she might still tell him if Gu Shixi asked about his situation someday.
Gu Shixi found out, and it won't be long before Ruan Ruan finds out.
The safest approach is to find a reason to temporarily transfer Lin Bei and Lin Feng away.
If you give them something to do, they won't think of these things.
Huo Zhizhou hadn't figured these things out even after they finished their walk and returned home.
It's not difficult to keep Lin Bei and Lin Feng from knowing our location; the real challenge is that once they become suspicious, they might go looking for Ruan Ruan, and then the situation will revert to what it is now.
He didn't want to bother her anymore, much less disturb her.
Even though he desperately wanted to see her, to be with her, and to live under the same roof with her.
Each of them had their own thoughts on their own.
The next day arrived quickly.
While Huo Zhizhou was still figuring out how to arrange things between Lin Bei and Lin Feng, the arrival of someone gave him a hint.
Huo Sinian arrived before breakfast was even finished.
He was dressed in a casual suit, with silver-rimmed glasses perched on his nose. He was impeccably groomed. His gaze swept around the restaurant before finally landing on Huo Zhizhou, who was having dinner with Sui Sui: "Where's Jiang Ruan?"
Huo Zhizhou ignored him completely.
Sui Sui politely greets him as "Uncle".
Huo Sinian pulled up a chair and sat down, chatting with Sui Sui with a gentle expression: "Why didn't your mommy get up to eat?"
Sui Sui didn't hide it: "Mommy isn't staying here, she's at a hotel."
Huo Sinian looked at Huo Zhizhou.
It's as if it's saying, "We've called everyone here, but they can't stay."
Huo Zhizhou took care of Sui Sui's meals the whole time, avoiding responding to his words and glances, completely treating him like a transparent person.
"You really don't want to see me?" Huo Sinian was as direct as ever on this kind of thing.
Huo Zhizhou's eyes were indifferent: "You knew it, yet you still came."
Huo Sinian: "At least I let you see the person you wanted to see before you died."
These words were spoken.
Huo Zhizhou's gaze fell on him, his dark pupils filled with coldness, and his aura seemed to drop even further.
"Before he died?" Sui Sui looked up, feigning ignorance, her round eyes filled with doubt. "Daddy had a terminal illness?"
Huo Sinian met Huo Zhizhou's gaze, but answered Su Sui's question with his own words: "To exaggerate, isn't your father missing your mother terribly?"
Sui Sui glanced at Huo Zhizhou: "That's true."
After that, Huo Sinian chatted with Sui Sui about everyday things, and didn't speak as casually as before.
Until breakfast is over.
Huo Zhizhou then said to Sui Sui, "I need to talk to your uncle about something. You play with Jiang Yulin and the others first. Call me if you need anything."
Sui Sui nodded.
Huo Zhizhou and Huo Sinian went to a slightly secluded place.
He said to Huo Sinian without any beating around the bush, "If you feel that holding shares in the Huo Group is too tiring, I can find someone to help you share the burden."
Huo Sinian could tell this was a threat: "It's not that bad."
Huo Zhizhou: "There will be no next time."
"If I remember correctly, Jiang Ruan had dinner with you after we got off the plane yesterday," Huo Sinian said calmly, subtly changing the subject.
Huo Zhizhou ignored him.
Huo Sinian: "The person has been sent to you, aren't you going to try to get him?"
Huo Zhizhou didn't like him interfering in his affairs: "Just mind your own business with Lin Tan."
"If it weren't for your interference, she would still be with me now." Huo Sinian said directly to him, casually putting one hand in his pocket. "She wouldn't have left Jingzhou, and she wouldn't have gotten involved with Qin Mo."
Huo Zhizhou didn't think he had done anything wrong: "You crossed the line first."
“Those things shouldn’t be described as crossing the line,” Huo Sinian corrected. “If you want to deal with your father, it’s only right for me, as his son, to resolve the danger for him.”
"Are you?" Huo Zhizhou asked in return.
Huo Siqing chuckled: "In a sense, I spared him from your torment."
Huo Zhizhou exposed him: "In the end, everything you did was for your own benefit, to get rid of his control over you, and to satisfy your own selfish desires."
"You could say that," Huo Sinian readily admitted. "If you were in my situation, you might have done the same."
"You're wrong," Huo Zhizhou said bluntly.
Huo Sinian glanced at him sideways.
Huo Zhizhou walked to the chair next to him and sat down: "I will not be controlled by him. If he restricts my life to satisfy his own desires, I will not hesitate to reshuffle everything in the Huo family."
Huo Sinian was about to refute when he realized that his younger brother did indeed have this ability.
Given his temperament, he is indeed capable of doing these things.
"What if there's someone more powerful than you above you?" he asked.
"Even the most capable person has weaknesses and vulnerabilities." Huo Zhizhou always considers things carefully, and apart from matters of the heart, he has never made any mistakes since he grew up. "I happen to be good at finding those two things."
The implication was that he should stop interfering in his affairs.
Otherwise, he wouldn't mind taking a few drastic measures.
Hearing this, Huo Sinian suddenly understood why he had lost so badly over the years.
His younger brother is not afraid of failure or changes in the situation.
He has the perseverance to get back up after falling down once.
Thinking about this...
His gaze fell on him, and he asked a painful question: "Where is Jiang Ruan?"
A hint of doubt flashed across Huo Zhizhou's face.
Huo Sinian stated bluntly, "What are her weaknesses and vulnerabilities?"
Huo Zhizhou pursed his thin lips into a straight line.
"Finding these two shouldn't be too difficult, and getting her to be with you shouldn't be too hard." Huo Sinian's words were a test, to see what kind of feelings he had for Jiang Ruan. Was he truly willing to give up himself rather than make things difficult for her, or was he simply not at his limit yet?
