Huo Zhanhe was dumbfounded.
Making such a fool of himself in front of everyone made him lose face and dignity.
At this point, not only did others ignore him, but even Huo Zhiyan pretended not to see him!
Huo Zhanhe was about to call out to Huo Zhiyan when he discovered that his good son had already secretly slipped away from the crowd!
"Zhiyan! Huo Zhiyan!" Huo Zhanhe was furious. "You little brat!"
"Old Cen, help me back!"
Uncle Cen glanced at him indifferently and said, "I'm so sorry, Second Master, I have to go upstairs quickly. The old master can't be left alone!"
"you……"
Before Huo Zhanhe could erupt in anger, Huo Zhixing, with the imposing presence of a family head, gave orders to everyone:
"Grandpa is out of danger, everyone stop crowding around here! Go do what you need to do!"
Everyone answered in unison, "Yes, Third Young Master!"
Huo Zhixing chuckled and took Jiang Can's hand as they went out.
"Hey, you're all gone, what am I supposed to do!" Huo Zhanhe stood frozen in place, gesturing wildly. "Huo Zhixing! You little bastard... at least leave someone for me!"
"Come back, everyone!"
"Hello!"
"Second Master, please be quiet." Yin Ruohong sneered, "Your master is resting, you don't want to wake him up, do you?"
Huo Zhanhe had no choice but to stare blankly as the group of people left him one after another.
...
Walking in the courtyard, Yin Ruohong saw Old Chen waiting for him not far away. He quickened his pace, about to get into the car, when suddenly a deep "Thank you" came from behind him.
He paused for a moment, then turned to meet Huo Zhixing's deep gaze.
Yin Ruohong rolled her eyes, adopting an arrogant attitude, and didn't intend to pay him any attention.
Huo Zhixing looked at him and suddenly realized that his expression was just like that of the fat orange cat at home, and couldn't help but chuckle.
"What are you laughing at?" Yin Ruohong glared at him.
"It's nothing," Huo Zhixing said calmly. "President Yin, I was serious just now. Thank you so much this time."
"Are you thanking me for saving your grandfather, or for making your second uncle incontinent?"
Huo Zhixing pursed his lips, speechless.
"Don't flatter yourself!" Yin Ruohong scoffed. "I didn't come here for you!"
Yes, it was for Jiang Can.
If he didn't want to impress his daughter, even ten Huos combined couldn't persuade him to come.
At this moment, Huo Zhixing felt complicated and conflicted when facing Yin Ruohong.
He no longer disliked the old man; on the contrary, he felt that having such a father-in-law would make the future quite interesting.
But he was worried about Jiang Can.
Jiang Can suffered for over twenty years, and that suffering cannot be easily made up for.
"Are you alright?" Yin Ruohong glared at him. "If I'm fine, I'm leaving!"
"President Yin, please wait!" Huo Zhixing hurriedly blocked his way. "There's something else I'd like to ask President Yin to investigate!"
Yin Ruohong narrowed his eyes. "What is it?"
"Please find out what else is in the medicine my grandfather is taking."
Yin Ruohong was taken aback.
After examining Huo Wenyuan, he said the medicine contained all good things, it was a tonic, but the proportions were wrong.
There's something he didn't say.
That is, the drug contains an addictive ingredient!
He just hadn't figured out the exact composition yet, which is why he wasn't revealing it.
He has always been cautious in his actions, and he will never speak without solid evidence.
But how did Huo Zhixing find out?
Yin Ruohong stared at him for a long time, a look of doubt in her eyes.
"I don't understand what the Third Young Master is saying."
“President Yin,” Huo Zhixing smiled, “there’s no need to play dumb! Although I don’t understand medicine, I do know my grandfather.”
"To be honest, I've seen my grandfather drink this kind of Chinese medicine since I was a child. He's been drinking it for so many years without any problems, so why is there suddenly a problem?"
"Also, I heard from Uncle Cen that he's been taking a lot of medicine lately. He used to take it once every three days, but now he's taking it almost three times a day. This is medicine, not gourmet food. Besides, even if he encounters something delicious, he can't eat more than three bites. Why does he suddenly lose control when he encounters this kind of medicine?"
"President Yin," he said, his eyes deep and serious, enunciating each word clearly, "this medicine contains more than just tonics, doesn't it?"
Yin Ruohong looked at him quietly.
This kid is really smart; he can see through the essence of the problem at a glance.
Well, it seems that Can Can is quite secure marrying him. Living with a smart person will save you a lot of trouble.
And their offspring will also have high IQs.
I wonder what kind of quirky little baby Cancan will give birth to...
This little baby is not only smart, but also inherited his parents' outstanding looks. He's simply a chosen one!
The Yin family will have a successor in the future!
As Yin Ruohong thought about it, a loving smile appeared on his face, and his gaze towards Huo Zhixing softened considerably.
It's actually starting to look somewhat pleasing to the eye now!
However, Huo Zhixing was unaware of the myriad of thoughts swirling in his mind; he only felt a chill run down his spine from being stared at like that by Yin Ruohong.
"Yes, you're right." Yin Ruohong lowered his voice. "There are indeed some other ingredients in this medicine. But I haven't found them yet, so I can't make a fuss about it, lest I alert them."
Huo Zhixing immediately understood and nodded.
"Don't worry, although I'm not a good person, I can still tell right from wrong. Giving an old man a slow-acting poison is a despicable tactic."
Yin Ruohong took out a small bottle of pills.
“This medicine can also be used as a tonic. It was specially developed by the Yin family. One pill can be used to make a bowl of soup.” He said softly, “Your grandfather is old and his thinking is rigid. It would definitely not work to persuade him to stop taking tonics. This medicine can replace tonics, and after it is brewed, its color and smell are no different from those tonics. Just give it to him to drink.”
