Chapter 892 Why Be Obsessed with One Person
Lin Jiancheng and Wu Yuelan's eyes lit up immediately.
But seeing Huo Sinian's expression, the former had other thoughts. He suppressed his excitement and pretended to hesitate before saying, "One million, isn't it..."
“Yes, yes, yes.” Wu Yuelan quickly agreed, “We’ve raised that girl from a baby to adulthood, and we’ve put in a lot of effort.”
Huo Sinian looked at them without saying a word.
Lin Jiancheng: "No more, just two million!"
Wu Yuelan nodded in agreement.
Gu Yang smiled.
These two are trying to extort money from Huo Sinian. Don't they know how ruthless he is?
"If I find out you've leaked even a single word, I'll make you pay back with interest," Huo Sinian said slowly, then turned and left.
Lin Jiancheng immediately replied, "Understood! We promise not to say anything, we know nothing."
Wu Yuelan had the same reaction.
Seeing their expressions, Gu Yang left with Huo Sinian, unable to help but complain, "Are you really going to give them two million?"
Huo Sinian: "Hmm."
Gu Yang: "That's two million!"
Huo Sinian did not respond.
Gu Yang: "You gave them two million to keep quiet, shouldn't you give me two million too? I saw all those things just now."
“Okay.” Huo Sinian agreed readily, “but you will be fired after I give it to you, and you will never be hired again.”
Gu Yang pouted.
If it weren't for the high annual salary, he would have left immediately.
"What did you see inside?" Gu Yang picked up the bag and glanced at it, her curiosity piqued. "Is it Lin Tan's background, or some other clue?"
Huo Sinian did not speak.
Gu Yang: "Hello."
Huo Sinian walked forward.
Gu Yang's gossipy nature kicked in: "Speak up, are you mute?"
Huo Sinian glanced at his watch and told him bluntly, "You can go any slower. If you miss the ticket that Secretary Ye booked, you'll have to go back by yourself."
Gu Yang clicked his tongue.
Keep up.
On the high-speed train.
The only people in the entire carriage were Huo Sinian and Gu Yang.
The seats are very spacious; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call them the most luxurious.
Not long after he sat down, Huo Sinian received a call on his phone from Secretary Ye: "Boss, I've found out what you asked me to investigate."
"Go ahead," Huo Sinian said, looking out the window.
"According to our investigation, Madam Jun and Xie Chang'an have a very good relationship. Since their marriage, neither of them has ever done anything to betray the other," Secretary Ye said seriously. "Madam Jun's social circle is also very clean."
Huo Sinian's expression remained unchanged.
"In addition, Mrs. Jun's daughter died shortly after birth," Secretary Ye continued. "Mrs. Jun and her husband have been struggling to cope with this for a long time."
"Was their daughter's death in December?" Huo Sinian asked.
Secretary Ye was somewhat surprised, but still answered honestly, "Yes."
Huo Sinian: "He died in the hospital?"
Secretary Ye: "Yes..."
Huo Sinian: "Haicheng First People's Hospital?"
Secretary Ye was a little startled: "Yes, you..."
"Go and check who else gave birth at Haicheng First People's Hospital on the day Mrs. Jun gave birth to her daughter and in the days before and after," Huo Sinian instructed. "Or, find out who else is at the hospital."
"It's been a long time, so it might be difficult to investigate," Secretary Ye said hesitantly.
More than 20 years ago.
The monitoring is inadequate.
Even if it exists, it has long been covered up or broken.
"Investigate anything related to Xie Chang'an and Jun Yi, whether it's business, their relationship, or any other disputes," Huo Sinian gave him a direction. "If you can't find anything, then investigate further back in time, look for Xie Chang'an's parents and Madam Jun's parents."
Secretary Ye asked, somewhat puzzled, "Did you find anything?"
"Lin Jiancheng and his wife found Lin Tan in Jinhuai Town," Huo Sinian told him, after all, she was his secretary who had always been by his side. "But there was an item from Haicheng First People's Hospital in Lin Tan's swaddling clothes."
The words were very small.
Neither Lin Jiancheng nor Wu Yuelan noticed.
"You suspect that Miss Lin Tan is Madam Jun's child, but was switched at birth?" Secretary Ye asked.
Huo Sinian: "Hmm."
Secretary Ye thought about it carefully.
That is indeed possible.
Back then, even large hospitals lacked adequate conditions and facilities.
"Do we need to do a paternity test between Miss Lin Tan and them?" Secretary Ye asked.
Huo Sinian: "Yes, but don't let the Xie family and Qin Mo find out."
Secretary Ye: "Understood."
The call ended.
Huo Sinian's eyes regained their usual expression.
If Madam Jun's family had never had a daughter, he would only suspect that she was illegitimate. But since they had a daughter who died, and Lin Tan was adopted, it was hard not to suspect.
"Such a big thing and you didn't even try to hide it from me?" Gu Yang lay back in the chair, looking quite comfortable. "Aren't you afraid I'll sell it to Qin Mo for tens of millions or something?"
Huo Sinian: "You're not that kind of person."
Gu Yang: "That's not necessarily true."
Huo Sinian: "Someone as valuing their life as you would want to be hunted down to the ends of the earth, never to have a peaceful day again?"
Gu Yang: "..."
Gu Yang shook her head and clicked her tongue, saying, "What happened to the trust we promised?"
"Someone who talks about betraying me all the time, is talking to me about trust?" Huo Sinian retorted.
Gu Yang knew she couldn't win an argument with him, so she wisely kept quiet.
Then along the way.
Both of them closed their eyes to rest.
Gu Yang stretched and yawned only when they were almost there.
When I opened my eyes, I saw Huo Sinian working on his tablet again.
"Hey," he called out.
"Speak," Huo Sinian said, looking at the emails they had sent him.
"You're so rich and handsome, you must have a lot of suitors." Gu Yang really couldn't understand, "Why be so fixated on one person?"
Huo Sinian did not answer.
Gu Yang: "If you want someone to play the innocent, naive girl role with you, as long as you offer a high enough price, there will be plenty of people willing to come."
Huo Sinian: "You're here too?"
Gu Yang: "Come on, if the price is right, don't even mention being a naive girl, I'll play the tough girl for you."
"Then you'll be fired the very first second of your first day at work," Huo Sinian said scathingly. "And you'll have to pay me a huge sum in compensation for emotional distress."
"You don't know how to appreciate it." Gu Yang scratched his hair, his handsome face quite striking. "When I was in school, I had tons of girls chasing after me. If you want me to play a role, you'd have to wait in line."
Huo Sinian ignored him completely.
Gu Yang leaned closer and continued, "What if the investigation shows that Lin Tan is the Xie family's daughter?"
Huo Sinian: "Keep it a secret."
Gu Yang: "?"
Gu Yang: "Then why did you go through all that trouble to investigate?"
Huo Sinian pushed up his glasses: "To prevent any unforeseen circumstances, we need to control all variables."
Gu Yang's lips twitched.
He should never cross paths with this person in his life.
"If she knew you knew about it but didn't tell her, she would definitely hate you."
"It doesn't matter, it's not the first time." Huo Sinian didn't care at all. "If she's willing to come back to Jingzhou with me, I'm willing to tell her everything I know."
"You know Qin Mo can't be investigated?" Gu Yang retorted.
"He looks like he's investigating?" Huo Sinian wasn't worried about that at all.
If Qin Mo were capable of investigating, he would have done so long ago.
But he lived in Haicheng and knew everything about the death of Madam Jun's daughter from the beginning, so that was the first person he could rule out.
