Chapter 423: We won, but I'm not at ease.
“In a sense, it can also be considered a lifetime.” Huo Sinian didn’t tell him directly, but beat around the bush.
Huo Zhizhou did not respond.
He looked around, taking in everything around him.
"Don't even think about leaving here." Huo Sinian saw through his thoughts. "You can't leave without my permission."
Huo Zhizhou asked directly, "What do you want to do?"
Huo Sinian pushed up his glasses and casually said the rest: "Wipe away all your past memories, make you forget Jiang Ruan, Shan Mu'an and everything from the past."
A deep look crossed Huo Zhizhou's brows.
"Of course, to prevent you from becoming an obstacle to me, I'll have someone give you a psychological suggestion," Huo Sinian said. "When you wake up, you'll forget about Shan Mu'an, and you'll think that Jiang Ruan married you to scheme against you..."
Listening to Huo Sinian's words, Huo Zhizhou's gaze returned to calm.
If it were something else, he might need to use his brain to think about how to solve it.
But can memories be erased?
Memories can be erased, but the traces of his existence in this world will not be wiped away. Gu Shixi, Si Ning, Jiang Yu, and others will tell him everything about the past, and Jiang Ruan will also talk to him rationally.
“I know what you’re thinking.” Huo Sinian knew him well. “It just means you don’t understand psychological suggestion enough.”
"I don't know," Huo Zhizhou readily admitted, admitting that he had never studied these things. "But you don't know me either."
Huo Sinian: "?"
Huo Zhizhou exudes a strong aura: "I never do anything that wastes time."
Huo Sinian: "So?"
Huo Zhizhou: "Didn't you ever think about why you won so easily this time?"
"It doesn't matter." Huo Sinian remained unaffected. "As long as we get what we're supposed to get, the rest is up to you."
"Lin Tan is also casual?" Huo Zhizhou met his gaze and asked this question naturally.
Huo Sinian's expression hardened. He looked over with a scrutinizing gaze, his face showing an unprecedented seriousness and solemnity, and his eyes turned completely black.
After a long pause, he lowered his voice and asked, "What did you do?"
"You can call and ask," Huo Zhizhou gestured with his eyes.
Without any hesitation, Huo Sinian took out his phone and dialed Lin Tan's number.
He didn't pretend not to care in front of him.
After all, they've been exposed too many times.
beep--
The sound was nothing out of the ordinary, yet it made Huo Sinian's heart leap into his throat.
He unconsciously tightened his grip on his phone, his eyes fixed on Huo Zhizhou without looking away, and all sorts of unpleasant thoughts flooded his mind as he waited.
For example, Huo Zhizhou's men kidnapped Lin Tan.
Or perhaps Lin Tan has already gotten into trouble and he needs to make a difficult choice.
"Hello." The call was connected, and Lin Tan's voice came through.
After hearing nothing unusual, Huo Sinian relaxed slightly, then asked, "What are you doing right now?"
"We're filming a night scene." Lin Tan's voice was gentle, but his hand holding the phone was a little nervous, worried that the people here had told him about Jiang Ruan contacting her. "What's wrong?"
Huo Sinian looked up and glanced at Huo Zhizhou.
Lin Tan continued, "I mentioned it to you at noon. I have several night scenes to film tonight, so I can't video chat with you."
"It's nothing." Huo Sinian didn't say much. "You go ahead and do your work."
Lin Tan said okay and hung up the phone.
Huo Zhizhou spoke up after he put down his phone, exposing his true colors: "So you admit she's important to you?"
"Just a bed partner, nothing important." Huo Sinian pushed up his silver-rimmed glasses, still not admitting his love for Lin Tan. "At most, I'm just used to sleeping with her and too lazy to change."
"Is that so?" Huo Zhizhou had already seen through it.
Huo Sinian's heart sank little by little, but he didn't show it on his face: "If you want to use her to threaten me, you can give up."
"I would never do something so despicable," Huo Zhizhou said.
Huo Sinian showed no sign of it on his face, but he breathed a sigh of relief.
He knew that if Huo Zhizhou said he wouldn't do such a thing, he definitely wouldn't.
"Do you know that you've had a habit since you were little?" Huo Zhizhou said calmly and slowly, "The more you care about something, the more you show your disgust in front of others."
Huo Sinian paused.
“Before, he introduced Lin Tan as a friend, but now he says she’s a bed partner,” Huo Zhizhou said.
"You don't need to waste your breath saying this." Huo Sinian interrupted him calmly, his eyes showing nothing but gentleness in addition to his refined manner. "Jiang Yulin and the others are being watched by my men, they can't come to rescue you."
Huo Zhizhou: "Mm."
Huo Sinian: "Gu Shixi is being watched by Lu Er and can't leave."
Huo Zhizhou: "Mm."
Huo Sinian: "You are destined to be Jiang Ruan's enemy."
Huo Zhizhou did not respond.
Huo Sinian glanced at the chains binding him and finally said only, "Get some rest. You'll forget everything when you wake up next time."
After saying that, he stood up and went out the door, instructing the bodyguard at the door to keep an eye on things.
Huo Zhizhou, lying on the bed, showed no panic or anxiety. He knew that Huo Sinian meant what he said and would forget everything about Jiang Ruan after he woke up. He might even have the thought that they had an unfriendly relationship.
But he wasn't worried.
Lin Feng has made all the arrangements.
Everything is going according to plan.
Although having her memory erased was a bit bad, it was better than being imprisoned by Huo Sinian and falsely accused of murdering her father, as she had expected.
Huo Sinian was the complete opposite of him. Even though he had just called Lin Tan to confirm her safety, he still subconsciously felt worried. After all, he knew Huo Zhizhou to be a master strategist with a deep and cunning mind.
Although he held the reins in this matter, it was he who forced Huo Zhizhou onto this pre-arranged path.
But isn't all of this going a little too smoothly?
He wanted to get rid of his father, and he did it. He wanted to catch him and erase his memory so he could turn against others, and he succeeded immediately. In all the countless confrontations he had had since childhood, none had gone so smoothly.
As he was thinking about these things, his phone rang.
Seeing that it was Lu Er calling, he slid the answer button: "What is it?"
"How's it going on your end?" Young Master Lu asked with concern.
Huo Sinian: "Everything is going well."
"After all these years of fighting, we've finally made Huo Zhizhou suffer a loss," Young Master Lu sighed.
Huo Sinian remained silent.
Yes.
We finally won.
But why do I feel so uneasy about winning?
"What's wrong?" Lu Er asked, sensing that something was off.
"It's nothing." Huo Sinian pinched the bridge of his nose, trying to suppress the complicated emotions. "I just feel that things went too smoothly this time, and I'm a little worried that he may have some other plans behind the scenes."
“You’re worrying unnecessarily,” said Lu Ershao. “What does it matter how many schemes he has? As long as you keep an eye on Jiang Yu and the others, once his memory is erased, he’ll treat you like a good older brother, and all his other schemes will naturally disappear completely.”
Huo Sinian paused, then suddenly realized.
He rubbed his temples, feeling as if the cloud of worry in his heart had completely dissipated: "You're right, I was overthinking things."
