Chapter 407 Finding Huo Zhizhou
"How can I persuade him?" Assistant Jiang thought about what had just happened, his mind a little complicated. "The boss is now only thinking about getting justice for his best friend, and he can't tolerate anything else."
Lin Bei pressed further, "He's not going to care about Miss Jiang either?"
Assistant Jiang remained silent for a moment before speaking: "I don't care."
"Miss Jiang?!" Lin Feng's voice suddenly rang out as he came down from the basement, filled with surprise. "What are you doing here?"
Jiang's Special Assistant: "!!!"
Lin Bei: "!!!"
The two of them stiffened.
They instinctively looked towards the entrance, where they saw Jiang Ruan in an overcoat and Tang Bai in black casual wear.
"Miss Jiang...?" Assistant Jiang's mind went blank for a moment after recognizing her, and he immediately remembered his conversation with Lin Bei. "You, we just..."
For a moment, he didn't know what to say.
When asked how she got there, it was clear she had been looking for her.
To explain what I just said, the BOSS really doesn't plan to continue managing things now.
"That shouldn't be the case." Lin Feng was an honest man. He circled around Jiang Ruan and Tang Bai several times. "The BOSS has arranged to keep watch around the villa. If you come in, you will definitely be discovered."
Jiang Ruan explained, "Tang Bai brought me here."
Everyone's gaze fell on Tang Bai.
They all knew his identity, and upon closer reflection, they realized it was perfectly normal for him to be able to bring Jiang Ruan in undetected.
"Where's Huo Zhizhou?" Jiang Ruan asked, staring at them. "Is he here?"
Before coming here, she didn't have high hopes. She planned to move on to the next place if no one was here. But after encountering several sentries, she and Tang Bai confirmed that this was the place.
She was still uneasy if she didn't see Huo Zhizhou and Huo Cheng.
“BOSS…” Assistant Jiang and Lin Bei exchanged a glance, unsure whether to speak or not.
It was said to be disobeying the BOSS's orders.
They would feel guilty if they didn't say anything.
"Is Huo Cheng here too?" Jiang Ruan asked again.
“Miss Jiang, this matter is none of your concern.” After careful consideration, Assistant Jiang spoke in a somewhat official tone, “If there’s nothing else, you can go back now.”
Lin Bei hesitated for a moment but still nodded: "Yes."
Lin Feng: "?"
Lin Feng stared at him in confusion: "Go back? What do you mean go back? Didn't we just want Miss Jiang's help?"
"Don't speak when I don't tell you to." Lin Bei ground his back teeth. He knew his brother was unreliable, but he didn't expect him to be this unreliable. "Go and stand at your post properly. I'll settle accounts with you for neglecting your duties later."
Lin Feng didn't understand, but he didn't say anything more.
Tang Bai glanced around and then walked up to stand with Jiang Ruan: "No need to ask them, Huo Cheng and Huo Zhizhou are here."
Jiang's Special Assistant: "No."
Lin Bei: "Yes."
"Why are you guys keeping such a close watch on this place if you're not here?" Tang Bai asked deliberately. "Could it be that Huo Zhizhou has a mistress here?"
"You can take medicine however you want, but you can't say whatever you want." Lin Bei wouldn't let his boss be burdened with such an inexplicable accusation. "Our boss is only in love with Miss Jiang, and there is no one else but her."
Jiang's Special Assistant: "Yes."
Jiang Ruan: "You've probably forgotten about Su Anran at the Waterside Villa."
Assistant Jiang: "..."
Lin Bei: "..."
The two coughed lightly.
Lin Beichao glanced at Jiang's assistant, trying to clear Huo Zhizhou's name: "That was just the BOSS being confused for a moment and mistaking someone for someone else. It doesn't count as a mistress."
"Didn't I tell you to keep a close watch?" Huo Zhizhou's deep, magnetic voice came down from the stairwell, carrying a hint of pressure. "Discussing things here..." He paused when he saw Jiang Ruan as he walked down the stairs.
Jiang Ruan raised her eyes.
Their eyes met.
The air fell silent instantly. Jiang, the assistant, realized that the two had something to say, gave Tang Bai and Lin Bei a wink, and prepared to slip away.
"Who gave you permission to let her in?" After a brief pause, Huo Zhizhou regained his indifferent attitude.
“No one let me in; I came in by myself.” Jiang Ruan met his gaze and noticed his distant attitude. “Since you’re not coming to find me, then I’ll come to find you.”
Huo Zhizhou's heart was stirred slightly.
Jiang Ruan said to him directly, "I have something to talk to you about."
Huo Zhizhou exuded an aura of coldness that kept people at arm's length: "There's nothing for us to talk about."
Jiang Ruan lifted her foot and walked towards him, passing by him without saying a word, and went straight upstairs.
The rest of the people didn't dare to utter a sound.
A moment later.
Huo Zhizhou turned around and followed behind her.
Only when they heard the door close upstairs did Assistant Jiang and Lin Bei finally relax.
"It's just an ex-husband and ex-wife meeting, why are you all so scared?" Tang Baixin said half-jokingly, "No matter what, Huo Zhizhou can't really do anything to you."
"That being said, it's still quite scary when the BOSS gets angry." Lin Bei said with lingering fear.
"How did you know the BOSS was here?" Assistant Jiang asked curiously.
Huo Cheng was secretly transferred by them. For this reason, the BOSS deliberately left clues in other places that required a very careful investigation to find, in order to divert other people's attention and prevent them from finding out here.
Tang Bai: "This place is most suitable for Tibetans. In case of an accident, they can be quickly evacuated in the shortest possible time."
There are no surveillance cameras on the surrounding roads, and there are many intersections.
If he were to do this, he would choose this place.
"But didn't you go to the Shan family's old residence?" Assistant Jiang said, based on the information his subordinates had gathered. "Up to ten minutes ago, that car was still heading that way..."
Speaking of which...
Jiang's assistant suddenly stopped.
Seeing that only Tang Bai was there, he made a guess: "You changed cars halfway through? Was Mo Mo driving that car alone?"
"How else can we shake off Huo Sinian's surveillance?" Tang Bai was quite direct.
"You knew?" Lin Bei asked in surprise.
"Isn't it obvious?" Tang Bai was quite sensitive to these things. "Huo Sinian came to see my young lady out of nowhere. You can tell what his intentions are at a glance."
Lin Bei and Jiang's assistant were impressed by Tang Bai.
I just felt that Tang Bai and Mo Mo were too powerful.
To secretly change cars while being followed, and slip past both overt and covert sentries right under their noses—that's something not everyone can do.
"However..." Tang Bai thought about the whole thing.
"But what?" Assistant Jiang asked.
"This place has always been Huo Cheng's property." Tang Bai asked what was on his mind. "With Huo Sinian's abilities, it wouldn't be difficult for him to take over all of Huo Cheng's and his ex-husband's businesses. Haven't his people ever been here?"
There are traces of people living here.
Anyone from Huo Sinian who comes here will find Duan Lei.
“We’ve been here.” Assistant Jiang was always thorough in his work. “But we were only allowed in after his people had checked us.”
The slight worry in Tang Bai's heart disappeared.
Seeing the two talking so seriously, Lin Bei couldn't help but ask a spoilsport question: "Aren't you worried that the BOSS and Miss Jiang will get into a fight? Judging from his attitude just now, the BOSS seemed a little angry."
