Chapter 154 Identity Discovered
“What are you saying?” Si Ning didn’t fall for his trick and spoke naturally as always. “I don’t care whether you investigate Jiang Ruan’s mother or not. I’m just wondering why Master is covering up information about these two people.”
Huo Zhizhou raised an eyebrow slightly.
Is Jiang Anzhen not her master?
“If it’s just an exchange of benefits, then it’s fine to investigate,” Si Ning analyzed casually. “But if it’s something important, it would seem unfilial of me to investigate.”
"Didn't you say your master had retired?" Huo Zhizhou asked unhurriedly.
Si Ning: "Yes."
Huo Zhizhou: "Since she has retired, the things on the internet have nothing to do with her. Whether you can find out or not depends on your own abilities."
Si Ning: "That makes sense."
Huo Zhizhou: "Investigate."
Si Ning glanced at the monitoring screen on the computer and, after much consideration, decided to help him check.
Master's current name is different from his previous name. Even if Huo Zhizhou follows the clues to investigate this person, she may not be able to find out. Not to mention that the relationship between Master and him is just her guess.
"Wait!" Huo Zhizhou suddenly spoke as she switched computer screens.
Si Ning said lazily, "What?"
Huo Zhizhou seemed to have discovered something, but the thing flashed by too quickly to catch: "Rewind the surveillance footage by two minutes."
Si Ning did as she was told. She looked at Jiang Ruan and the handsome middle-aged man standing together on the computer screen. After noticing anything unusual, she turned her head and asked, "This is just a normal conversation. You're not even jealous of this?"
Huo Zhizhou remained silent.
His gaze remained fixed on the two people on the monitor.
At that moment, the thought that had flashed through my mind began to solidify, and the questions that had puzzled me before were answered.
He said that this person looked so familiar.
I see.
Seeing his expression, Si Ning raised the corner of her eye.
Is this reaction a sign of jealousy?
"Don't you think Jiang Ruan looks a lot like him?" Huo Zhizhou wanted to make sure it wasn't just his imagination.
"It's alright." Si Ning looked at it again, saying nonchalantly, "They all have two eyes, a nose, and a mouth. You could say they do look alike..."
Before she could finish speaking, she suddenly sat up a little straighter, and it seemed... she really did look a bit like it?
"Who is this person?" she asked instinctively.
Huo Zhizhou: "..."
Huo Zhizhou stared at her with his dark eyes.
It's as if you're asking me.
"Give me two minutes." Si Ning started to watch the drama unfold, splitting her computer screen in two, displaying the surveillance footage on one side and starting to look up information on the other.
If this person has a very close relationship with the master, then the master's withdrawal from the internet is most likely related to this person.
Maybe he was the one who forced his master to quit the internet.
As fingertips danced across the keyboard, strings of code appeared one after another.
Before long, she broke through her master's first layer of defense and found some superficial information. She tried to investigate further, but found nothing...
Can't find it?!
"What's wrong?" Huo Zhizhou noticed her change in mood.
“My master seems to be more powerful than I imagined.” Si Ning said as she worked to break through the second layer of defense, while carefully investigating, “Aside from this man’s basic information, I haven’t found anything else.”
No wonder he's her master.
Technology from over 20 years ago was already this advanced.
If he hadn't quit the internet, he would be incredibly strong now.
"What is the basic information?" Huo Zhizhou planned to let Gu Shixi look up the rest.
"His name is Li Zhishen, he is from Haicheng, he is fifty years old, male, and the chairman of the Li Group." Si Ning read out the basic information to him, "He achieved many successes when he was young."
Li Group?
Huo Zhizhou's mind raced through information about this.
Ranked among the top three domestically and among the top ten globally.
Although it operates in a different sector than the Huo Group, it is developing very well. The current decision-maker is a person with a very macro vision, who successfully led the Li Group to transformation a few years ago.
However, very little information has been released about the chairman of the Li Group.
"Is there any more?" he asked.
"No." Si Ning put away her computer, her mind still on how to break through the second layer of defense left by her master. "I'll tell you after I've cracked this and found out more information. I'm going back now."
Huo Zhizhou hummed in agreement and said nothing more.
As the office door closed, he took out his phone and made a call.
Gu Shixi answered quickly: "What is it?"
"The information has been sent to your phone." Huo Zhizhou had a suspicion and guess in his mind. "Find some time to do a paternity test between that person and Jiang Ruan."
"Okay," Gu Shixi readily agreed.
Jiang Ruan had no idea that Huo Zhizhou already knew the things she wanted to know. She also didn't realize that Huo Zhizhou was several steps ahead of her in terms of information.
At this moment, she was still in the ward talking to Jiang An. Seeing that her mother still showed no signs of waking up as usual, she lay on the hospital bed, held her hand, and chatted with her about recent trivial matters and the failed divorce.
As they chatted, Jiang Ruan suddenly felt very tired: "Ms. Jiang An, if you don't wake up soon, your precious daughter won't be able to hold on."
Jiang Ruan: "I'm a little unsure what to do."
Jiang Ruan: "I can't beat him."
She talked a lot with Jiang An.
A month has passed without any sign of waking up. She is really worried that if he still hasn't woken up by the end of the two-month period, she will probably not be able to handle it.
"You're still with your mother." Dr. Zhou came in to check on her and greeted her when he saw she was still there.
“Dr. Zhou.” Jiang Ruan stood up, her brows furrowed with undisguised anxiety. “Tell me honestly, will my mother be able to wake up within two months?”
Dr. Zhou gave an affirmative answer: "Yes."
Jiang Ruan was a little unsure: "Really?"
“When have I ever lied to you?” Dr. Zhou closed the medical record. “Your mother’s condition is getting better and better. She should wake up in a few days or ten days.”
Upon receiving this answer, Jiang Ruan's tense heart eased slightly, and the anxiety in her chest lessened considerably.
The next day.
She was busy at home first, and then went to Ruanyuan Park to play with Sui Sui.
Thinking that he would be leaving home again to attend summer camp, I was a little worried, so when I saw him off on Monday, I gave him a lot of detailed instructions.
Seeing her so caring and worried, Huo Zhizhou took the initiative to say, "If you're really worried, cancel your business trip later. I'll go with you to buy a house near his summer camp so we can stay together."
"No need." Jiang Ruan was worried, but it didn't mean she had to keep the child by her side all the time.
"Don't worry, Mommy, I'll take good care of myself." Sui Sui actually quite liked the summer camp. "I'm a man now."
"Call Mommy if anything happens." Jiang Ruan rubbed his head.
Sui Sui nodded her little head: "Okay."
After another conversation, Jiang Ruan put Sui Sui in the car. Watching the car drive further and further away, a bad feeling suddenly welled up in her heart. After thinking it over, she turned to Huo Zhizhou, who was extremely calm, and asked, "Have you explained all the precautions for Sui Sui to the teacher?"
Huo Zhizhou: "I've confessed."
Jiang Ruan pursed her lips, still unable to suppress the unease in her heart.
"Here's your flight number and your room number when you arrive," Huo Zhizhou sent her the information, adding, "If you don't want to squeeze into economy class, you can take my private jet."
Jiang Ruan declined: "No need."
She opened the message to check.
Her brow furrowed slightly when she looked at the hotel room number. How come she remembered that all 18 floors of this hotel were presidential suites?
