Chapter 708 A Battle of Wits and Courage
Watching the person leave, Huo Zhizhou did not immediately go out to chase after them.
After all, he had watched his child grow up, so he knew his child's personality well.
After a brief moment of thought, he went to find Lin Bei.
He couldn't possibly be really angry with the child because of something.
The only possibility is that he knows his own situation.
A few minutes later.
Huo Zhizhou found Lin Bei.
Seeing his boss standing at his door, Lin Bei had a string of question marks on his forehead, but he didn't show anything on his face: "Did you want to see me?"
"What did you say to Sui Sui?" Huo Zhizhou asked.
He did not give a reason.
There was no need for unnecessary words.
Lin Bei paused.
My heart skipped a beat.
My first thought was that the young master had sold him out.
"I didn't say anything." He looked completely bewildered. "I didn't speak to the young master at all today."
"That night you went out with him, besides reporting those things, what else happened?" Huo Zhizhou looked at him, his gaze carrying an invisible pressure. "Tell the truth, or I'll have to check the surveillance footage."
Lin Bei's heart was pounding.
My mind is a complete mess.
After hesitating for a few seconds, he said, "What happened that I told you about before?"
Huo Zhizhou stared at him.
Lin Bei forced himself to meet his gaze.
He knew very well that if he showed even the slightest sign of guilt here, he would be suspected and interrogated.
He has to hold on.
"If you don't believe me, you can check the surveillance footage," Lin Bei added.
"If you hadn't said anything to him, why would he suddenly ask me if I had other children outside?" Huo Zhizhou said slowly, beginning his routine.
Lin Bei: "??"
Lin Bei: "!"
Lin Bei was completely stunned: "A child?!"
Huo Zhizhou didn't speak, but his eyes exuded a powerful aura.
"Heaven and earth bear witness, how could I possibly say such a thing to the young master?" Lin Bei was greatly shocked and quickly distanced himself from the situation. "Even if you did not, I would not have said it without your permission."
He's not stupid.
It's not that they're brainless.
How could he possibly do something that would destroy the BOSS's family and father-son relationship?
"Is that so?" Huo Zhizhou asked casually.
Lin Bei: "I can swear."
Huo Zhizhou: "But Sui Sui said that you told him, and she just came to question me with red eyes."
Lin Bei opened his mouth.
I feel powerless to defend myself.
"If it really was me who told the young master, he would have come to serve you the day I did. Why would it have taken until today?" Lin Bei tried to distance himself from the situation, not wanting to get involved.
"He said you told him not to talk about it, and that he shouldn't tell me it was you who told him." Huo Zhizhou lied without batting an eye. "The reason he came to see me today is that he didn't want to go back to Haicheng feeling unwell."
Lin Bei was starting to lose his composure.
I never imagined that such a cute young master could be so ruthless when it comes to tricking people.
This is even more terrifying than saying he betrayed the boss.
“I really didn’t say that to the young master. If you don’t believe me, I can confront him.”
"Okay," Huo Zhizhou agreed.
Lin Bei immediately fled.
He went to Sui Sui's room as quickly as possible.
Sui Sui had no idea that Huo Zhizhou had tricked Lin Bei, and at this moment he was wondering what to do.
He acted so well just now and his father was unmoved. We can't really expect him to burst into tears.
This is a bit difficult for him.
It also looks a bit fake...
"Knock knock".
"Young Master."
Lin Bei's voice suddenly came from the doorway.
Sui Sui toddled over to open the door. Seeing his slightly anxious expression, she asked with concern, "Uncle Lin Bei? Is something wrong so late?"
"Do you remember what we talked about that night?" Lin Bei asked.
Sui Sui thought for a moment and nodded: "I remember."
Lin Bei half-squatted in front of him, his gaze level with his: "I told you about the BOSS's health condition, not that he has a child outside, right?"
Although Sui Sui was puzzled, she nodded nonetheless.
The next second.
He suddenly realized something was wrong.
Only he and his father knew about the child; he had only said it on purpose to stay.
Uncle Linbei suddenly said that it meant Dad went to talk to him...
As the thought crossed her mind, Sui Sui realized that this might be a trap set by her father.
“The boss is now blaming me for saying things I shouldn’t have. Please explain for me.” Lin Bei didn’t notice Huo Zhizhou walking towards him from behind.
But Sui Sui heard it.
Although the footsteps were very light, his sharp ears still detected them.
He changed his words: "What are you talking about? Aren't you telling me that Dad has children outside?"
Lin Bei: "??"
Lin Bei was stunned.
Where is his adorable, innocent, and kind young master?!
Who is this pit in front of me?!
"You just mentioned Daddy's health condition. What's wrong with Daddy's health?" Sui Sui continued to ask.
This moment.
Lin Bei felt a chill in his heart.
He knew he had become a victim of the bickering between the boss and his son.
They teased him like he was a dog.
"Young Master, you've changed!" Lin Bei cried.
Sui Sui looked blank: "Huh?"
Lin Bei cried even harder.
It's bad enough that Miss Jiang has become a liar, just like the BOSS.
How come even the young master is like this now!
Just as he was thinking of saying something more to get Sui Sui's help, his boss's voice suddenly came from behind him: "Have you reached an agreement?"
Lin Bei's body stiffened.
It's over.
What should we say now?
"We haven't reached an agreement yet..." he said hesitantly, his feelings becoming somewhat complicated. "The young master may have amnesia and doesn't remember our conversation."
Huo Zhizhou: "..."
Sui Sui: "..."
Huo Zhizhou: "You go down first, I'll talk to him."
Lin Bei: "...Okay."
He stood up, head drooping, and walked towards the stairs.
After taking only a couple of steps, thinking about his miserable state, he stopped and emphasized, "Boss, I really didn't tell the young master any of that."
Huo Zhizhou: "Go and rest."
Lin Bei felt a chill in his heart.
The boss is so calm.
He seems quite angry.
With mixed feelings, he went to see Lin Feng and Assistant Jiang.
As for Sui Sui and Huo Zhizhou, the two looked at each other at the door. One was young and innocent, but her expression was full of grievance and dislike. The other was as indifferent as water.
"What are you doing here?" Sui Sui instantly switched to a different state.
"No need to act." Huo Zhizhou's thin lips parted slightly. Having overheard his conversation with Lin Bei, he already had a general understanding of the situation. "You want to stay, are you afraid I won't be able to handle it and will be gone?"
Sui Sui swallowed back the reasons she had come up with.
He pursed his lips, but the words that were about to come out turned into a haughty remark: "No."
Huo Zhizhou asked patiently, "What is that?"
Sui Sui: "I'm afraid that if you die, no one will collect your body."
Huo Zhizhou: "..."
Huo Zhizhou pinched his cheek: "You little ingrate."
She didn't move at all, letting him pinch her.
"Others are terrified of something happening to their fathers, but you're busy scheming to collect my corpse," Huo Zhizhou joked, his tone light and natural.
"Whether it's me hoping to collect your corpse or you just lack the will to live, you know the answer in your heart." Having said that, Sui Sui no longer concealed her true purpose.
