Chapter 891 Clues Found
“Okay,” Secretary Ye replied.
After hanging up the phone.
Huo Sinian sat there, lost in thought.
As if remembering something, he stood up and went to Qiao Shuyun's room. Seeing that she was about to take a nap, Huo Sinian called out to her, "Mom."
Qiao Shuyun: "What's wrong?"
Huo Sinian: "I have to go out for a while."
Qiao Shuyun paused for a moment before asking, "When are you coming back?"
"It'll be late tonight," Huo Sinian said softly. "You don't need to wait for me to eat."
Qiao Shuyun's tense heart relaxed slightly: "Okay."
A little while later.
Huo Sinian called Gu Yang, the bodyguard he had previously hired, and set off for the high-speed rail station.
On the way there, Gu Yang looked around and asked, "Where's your secretary?"
"Just the two of us," Huo Sinian said calmly.
"You're not asking me to do anything illegal or immoral, are you?" Gu Yang looked at him suspiciously, but her feet followed him faithfully. "We agreed before that I wouldn't do this kind of thing."
Huo Sinian glanced at him.
The disdain in their eyes was self-evident.
"I heard Lin Tan and Qin Mo got married?" Gu Yang asked, deliberately bringing up a sore spot.
Huo Sinian: "Are you going to a wedding?"
“If she invites me, I’ll definitely go,” Gu Yang said casually. “After all, I was her neighbor for a few days before, even if we weren’t close.”
Huo Sinian remained unmoved.
Gu Yang: "To be honest, I thought you were going to crash the wedding."
Huo Sinian walked into the VIP passage that Secretary Ye had arranged in advance and said slowly, "As long as they handle it, I'll take it."
Gu Yang: "?"
Gu Yang stared at his face: "Are you serious?"
Huo Sinian smiled slightly: "When have I ever joked?"
Don't even mention stealing.
He would even plan everything in order to get Lin Tan to go with him.
At worst, he and Lin Tan would become a pair of doomed lovers; at best, she would obediently leave with him.
"Qin Mo is, after all, a member of one of Haicheng's four major families, and the current head of the Qin family." Gu Yang thought he was incredibly audacious. "Aren't you afraid they'll target you if you go against him?"
Huo Sinian: "Only him, not them."
Gu Yang: "Doesn't he have two other friends, Chi Yuan and Xie Yi?"
Huo Sinian: "Your father would make you risk your entire family's future for the sake of your friend's feelings?"
Gu Yang: "Of course not."
Huo Sinian: "Well, they won't either."
In his struggle against Qin Mo, Chi Yuan and Xie Yi at most helped Qin Mo personally.
Qin Mo has the two of them, and he also has Lu Er.
"So where are we going now?" Gu Yang glanced at the high-speed rail ticket, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes. "Jiangshui Town? Why does that name sound so familiar?"
When they arrived at Jiangshui Town.
Gu Yang finally realized why the name sounded so familiar.
This was Lin Tan's former home.
Gu Yang looked around at the pleasant scenery, comfortable climate, and bustling crowds, and couldn't help but ask, "You just came here like this? Aren't you afraid that your competitors might send someone to do something to you?"
"Isn't it you who's here?" Huo Sinian walked forward.
"What if I get bribed?" Gu Yang said to him, acting nonchalantly.
Huo Sinian: "That just means I'm unlucky."
Gu Yang clicked his tongue.
Not long after.
They stopped right in front of Lin Jiancheng and Wu Yuelan's house.
Gu Yang was still looking around at the small town with its ancient architecture when Wu Yuelan came out. Seeing their distinguished attire, she tentatively asked, "Who are you?"
“We are Lin Tan’s friends.” Huo Sinian had a refined and dignified air about him. “We’ve come to learn about her situation.”
Wu Yuelan looked her up and down.
My first thought was that these two must be rich and powerful people.
“If you want to know about her, you have to wait in line and pay.” Wu Yuelan blurted out, “Since you’re her friend, you should know that she’s a celebrity and signed with a big company.”
Huo Sinian: "Of course I know."
Wu Yuelan: "How much are you planning to give?"
Before Huo Sinian could speak, Lin Jiancheng's voice rang out first: "Who's outside?"
“I don’t know her. She said she was a friend of that dead… Lin Tan’s girl,” Wu Yuelan replied casually.
Lin Jiancheng came out.
The moment he saw Huo Sinian, his expression changed drastically.
"Mr. Huo... Mr. Huo..." Lin Jiancheng's voice trembled, filled with fear for him. "Why have you come?"
Wu Yuelan was also frightened.
Although she had never met Huo Sinian, she had heard Lin Jiancheng mention him.
He naturally knew about all the things that happened when he went to find Lin Tan.
"I came to ask about Lin Tan." Huo Sinian's tone remained calm. "Is it convenient?"
Lin Jiancheng: "Convenient! Convenient! Please come in."
Would he dare say it's inconvenient?
This person has a million ways to get him to talk.
"If you want to know, you can just send someone to tell me, or you can make a phone call. Why bother coming all the way here yourself?" Lin Jiancheng had never been so obsequious in his life.
We have learned from past mistakes.
He didn't dare to act recklessly in front of Huo Sinian.
Huo Sinian didn't say anything and went inside with them.
After arriving in the living room.
Lin Jiancheng was extremely hospitable, afraid that he might offend the man if he didn't serve him well enough.
"What kind of tea would you like? I'll brew it for you," Lin Jiancheng asked.
"No need," Huo Sinian said calmly.
Lin Jiancheng then stopped working on it.
He knew very well that such an important person wouldn't pretend to be polite with him.
"What would you like to ask Lin Tan?" Lin Jiancheng asked. "I'll tell you anything I know."
Huo Sinian: "Lin Tan isn't your biological daughter?"
Lin Jiancheng paused.
In just a few seconds, my mind went through eight hundred different thoughts.
"I knew I couldn't hide it from you." Lin Jiancheng was tense all over. "Although that girl isn't our biological daughter, we've always treated her well, feeding her, clothing her, and sending her to school."
Huo Sinian wasn't interested in any of this: "How did she end up here? Did you buy her or find her?"
Lin Jiancheng: "I found it."
Huo Sinian: "When and where did you find it?"
Lin Jiancheng thought for a while before answering: "I only remember it was in December. It was snowing a little that day. I picked it up next to a trash can at the intersection of Jinhuai Town."
Huo Sinian's eyes showed a hint of deep thought.
Jinhuai Town?
How old was she when she was found?
"He was born not long ago," Lin Jiancheng honestly told the whole story.
"What was she wearing when you found her?" Huo Sinian asked directly. "Are any of her belongings still there?"
Lin Jiancheng glanced at Wu Yuelan.
He hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.
“You probably don’t want me to search by myself.” Huo Sinian saw through his little trick at a glance.
"Go and get it for President Huo." Lin Jiancheng sighed and said to Wu Yuelan, then turned to Huo Sinian and said, "That thing should have been thrown away, but the fabric was quite nice, so we were wondering if it might have been a rich family's child who had been kidnapped and abandoned there."
In those days, only the wealthy and noble families had swaddling blankets made of such high-quality materials.
If Lin Tan accidentally lost it, keeping it can serve as evidence to get money from someone.
"This is all that girl had at the time." Wu Yuelan took out a package, opened it to reveal some clothes and a swaddling cloth inside. "Not a single item was missing."
Huo Sinian took it and glanced at it.
A short while later, I noticed a few small words on one of the items.
—Haicheng First People's Hospital.
Haicheng?
"Do you know who her biological parents are?" Lin Jiancheng noticed the change in Huo Sinian's expression.
"Besides you, who else has seen these things?" Huo Sinian put the items inside, with some small print at the bottom. "Does Lin Tan know about them?"
"As far as we know," Wu Yuelan replied, "is there anything unusual about this thing?"
Huo Sinian didn't explain, but simply told Gu Yang, "Put your things away."
Gu Yang: "Okay."
"This..." Lin Jiancheng hesitated, unable to finish his sentence.
"I'll take these things, and I'll transfer the million to your account later." Huo Sinian stood up, not intending to stay any longer. "Let's pretend today's events never happened."
