Chapter 406 Why didn't you try to persuade them?
The moment the message was sent, a call popped up on the other end.
Tang Bai answered immediately.
"Who wrote this?" the other person asked quickly.
“Si Ning, Madam Jiang’s apprentice,” Tang Bai gave an answer.
"Let me take a look." The captain's words were direct, with a hint of laziness and lightness in them. "I happen to be free right now."
"I sent you a phone number." Tang Bai sent a message and continued, "Si Ning wrote an anti-tracking system for this person. If you can find this person's location today, it means you can crack it."
There was a rustling sound coming from the other end of the phone.
A moment later.
The captain let out a slightly surprised "Eh."
Tang Bai was still driving, a slight smile playing on his lips as he said, "Isn't it more impressive than you imagined?"
"Aunt Jiang's apprentice is quite something." The captain's fingers tapped on the keyboard, his eyes intently fixed on the computer screen.
Tang Bai: "!"
Captain: "Wait for me to try, and I'll let you know when I get the results."
He hung up the phone after saying that.
"Aunt Jiang?" Jiang Ruan asked curiously.
This title wouldn't be used unless the relationship was very good or close.
How come she didn't know that her mother knew such a person?
"Ahem." Tang Bai didn't expect the relationship to be exposed so quickly. He glanced at the rearview mirror before saying, "The captain's master and your mother knew each other before, and they had a close relationship."
Jiang Ruan recalled for a moment.
I've never heard my mother mention it.
"If even the captain can't find it, we can only rely on our intuition to find the location." Tang Bai looked ahead.
Jiang Ruan hummed in agreement.
She took out her phone and sent a message to Si Ning, asking about the businesses under Huo Cheng's name.
Si Ning gave her a document in less than five minutes.
After seeing that she had accepted it, Si Ning called her. After Jiang Ruan thanked her, Si Ning asked her directly, "Do you want this to find Huo Zhizhou's current location?"
"Yes." Jiang Ruan didn't hide it from her.
“Given his temper, even if you go to him, he won’t appreciate it. He might even say something sarcastic, like you’re meddling.” Si Ning didn’t want Jiang Ruan to run into a wall with Huo Zhizhou again. “If he wants to act impulsively, just let him do it.”
Jiang Ruan lowered her eyes: "That's what I thought before too."
Si Ning listened quietly.
“But I can’t rest easy,” Jiang Ruan said calmly. “I can’t ignore all the good things he’s done for me.”
“But he hurt you once because of this.” Si Ning took a bite of an apple, her tone very casual. “Aren’t you afraid he’ll stab you again?”
“He’s acting like this because he’s mentally ill,” Jiang Ruan said. “As for this time, whether he accepts it or not, I want him to see my attitude, just like he does for me.”
She couldn't just leave it to chance.
But I can't completely forgive or care about what happened back then.
All she could do was correct him when he went astray, and then go their separate ways once everything was back on track.
"It's good that you've thought it through." Si Ning didn't interfere further.
Outsiders can't understand or empathize with matters of the heart. She can only offer advice and analysis from an outsider's perspective at times, and whether or not to take it depends on the person involved.
A little while later.
Tang Bai parked the car on the road near the Huo family's old residence.
Jiang Ruan marked the locations on the map from the document Si Ning had given her: "These are all properties under Huo Cheng's name, but only these few are near the old house."
Tang Bai took the tablet and glanced at it.
After analyzing the terrain, he pointed to the red dot marked by Jiang Ruan on the map.
At the same time, Jiang Ruan also pointed in that direction.
The two said in unison, "I think it's here."
The two paused.
Their eyes met.
I never expected that I would be interested in the same place at the same time.
“Since we’ve tacitly chosen a location, let’s go here first.” Tang Bai’s tone remained relaxed, not making anyone feel oppressed. “Given my ex-husband’s personality, if he’s really there, there will definitely be people watching him.”
Jiang Ruan nodded.
I agree with this statement.
Huo Zhizhou is indeed meticulous in his work.
“Miss,” Tang Bai’s gaze fell on her high heels, “you might have to walk a bit later.”
Jiang Ruan was only worried about one thing: "Can you avoid Huo Zhizhou's eyes and ears?"
"I've worked with our captain for a few years, after all," Tang Bai said, feeling underestimated. "Sneaking in quietly is no problem at all."
"Okay." Jiang Ruan was relieved.
They set off immediately.
Twenty minutes later, I parked the car in a relatively remote place with no surveillance cameras.
Looking at the villa in the distance, Jiang Ruan felt a little uneasy. She wasn't sure if Huo Zhizhou was there; she had chosen that location based solely on her intuition.
At the same time.
Huo Zhizhou sat in the room with a pile of investigation materials in front of him.
“BOSS.” Assistant Jiang pushed open the door and entered, reporting everything about Jiang Ruan with great enthusiasm, “Mo Mo and Tang Bai returned to Ruan Garden, and they took Miss Jiang towards the Shan family’s old residence.”
Huo Zhizhou frowned slightly.
Jiang's assistant handed over several video clips from the road: "Huo Sinian's men have been following them."
"Where is Huo Sinian?" Huo Zhizhou's eyes darkened.
"I left the Soft Park an hour ago and went home. I haven't left since," Assistant Jiang replied.
Huo Zhizhou rubbed the phone in his hand, his aura somewhat heavy.
Several seconds passed.
He then asked, "How are the arrangements going with Lin Tan?"
Jiang's Special Assistant: "Everything is ready."
Huo Zhizhou: "Mm."
Assistant Jiang: "??"
Just one "um"?
Miss Jiang is being watched by Huo Sinian's men.
If Huo Sinian were to make a move against Miss Jiang, wouldn't the BOSS be in a dilemma?
"Is there anything else?" Huo Zhizhou's tone regained its calm.
"Shouldn't you make some more arrangements for Miss Jiang?" Assistant Jiang had always wanted the two of them to be well. "If Huo Sinian's side suddenly takes action, I'm afraid the two teams we arranged before won't be able to handle it."
"No need," Huo Zhizhou replied crisply.
If those two teams were only there for contingency purposes.
With Tang Bai and Mo Mo by Ruan Ruan's side, he didn't need to worry too much.
Even if the worst-case scenario occurs and Huo Sinian manages to capture Ruan Ruan despite all his scheming, all he wants is the power and shares of the Huo Group. By then, the matter will be resolved, and he will give them to her.
Assistant Jiang opened his mouth, but seeing his resolute attitude, he ultimately said nothing more.
He closed the door as he left, his expression revealing a complex mix of emotions.
"How did it go?" Lin Bei glanced at the door, pulled him downstairs, and asked in a low voice, "Did the BOSS send me to protect Miss Jiang?"
Jiang's Special Assistant: "No."
Lin Bei: "Did he mention any plans?"
Jiang's Special Assistant: "No."
Lin Bei: "?"
Lin Bei looked puzzled: "He wasn't worried at all when he heard that Huo Sinian's people were following Miss Jiang?"
Assistant Jiang thought for a moment about his boss's reaction: "A little, but not much."
"Then why don't you try to persuade him?" Lin Bei was extremely anxious. Now he could only hope that Miss Jiang would pull the BOSS back when he went astray, but given the current situation, the chances seemed slim.
