Gu Fanyan was touched by the sincerity in her eyes. "Okay, get in the car."
The two cars headed towards Huo Beichen's home.
Along the way, Lin Zhibai couldn't understand how Huo Beichen could see through such a reasonable scheme, where every step of the arrangement had been carefully considered.
What exactly did Huo Beichen base his judgment on?
“It’s his assistant, Wang,” Hua Fei said calmly.
She recounted how she and her assistant, Wang, went to see Sun Xiaowei, and how Sun Xiaowei used the child to test them.
Assistant Wang must have told Huo Beichen about this.
Even if Assistant Wang didn't say it, Sun Xiaowei would definitely have.
"The break between Huo Beichen and Sun Xiaowei is only superficial," Hua Fei said.
Gu Fanyan looked at Lin Zhibai and asked seriously, "Is this even possible?"
"Who knows what tricks he's up to?" Lin Zhibai said irritably. "No matter what he's thinking, I'll kick him a few times when we meet."
"If Liang Mufan is alright, that's fine. But if he is, regardless of whether he destroys the Sun family or not, I'll destroy him first!"
Lin Zhibai is a well-known gentleman in the business world.
To say something like that, one must be genuinely furious.
"Try to control your emotions," Gu Fanyan complained. "Excessive emotions will only cloud your judgment!"
Lin Zhibai wanted to say something, but ultimately gave up.
Liang Mufan fell from his hands to Huo Beichen's.
He felt guilty.
I also feel sorry for Gu Fanyan's anxiety.
Seeing his pitiful appearance, A-Yue felt a pang of sympathy and said, "Miss Gu, Young Master Lin, the breakup between Huo Beichen and Sun Xiaowei is definitely an act to deceive people."
"I heard Huo Beichen instruct his assistant that he must not exterminate the Sun family."
"Young Master Lin is right! Huo Beichen is the number one hypocrite!"
Gu Fanyan sighed softly to herself.
The gap between Huafei and Huo Beichen is widening.
As soon as the car stopped in front of the Huo family's gate, Lin Zhibai couldn't wait to open the door, get out, and rush to the front of the Huo family's gate.
"Ding-dong! Ding-dong!" He pressed the doorbell several times in a row.
However, the Huo family's gates remained tightly shut, and they did not respond at all.
"Huo Beichen, open the door!" Lin Zhibai shouted angrily, "Don't wait until I call someone to break down the door!"
Suddenly, the lights inside and outside the door came on.
The figures of Lin Zhibai, Gu Fanyan, and their assistants were illuminated.
Hua Fei, sitting in the car, couldn't help but shrink back.
"Why are you afraid of him!" A-Yue encouraged from the side.
A figure walked towards the gate; it was Huo Beichen: "Young Master Lin, the person you brought isn't Sheng Nanyin."
He stopped two meters away from the iron gate.
"How would I know where Sheng Nanyin is?" Lin Zhibai roared. "Hand over Liang Mufan right now, or I'll make things difficult for you!"
Huo Beichen remained calm: "Liang Mufan is not here. As for where he is, Young Master Lin can exchange him for Sheng Nanyin's whereabouts."
Lin Zhibai really wanted to rush forward and kick him a couple of times, but unfortunately the door was between them.
"Huo Beichen, how could you possibly think that Lin Zhibai knows Sheng Nanyin's whereabouts?" Gu Fanyan asked.
"He arranged for the fake Sheng Nanyin to test me, wasn't it all for the real Sheng Nanyin?" Huo Beichen retorted.
His IQ is still intact.
“Alright,” Gu Fanyan didn’t argue with him. “I know a bit about your love-hate relationship with Sheng Nanyin. These kinds of personal issues are for you to resolve yourself. You can’t get anything out of my son.”
Huo Beichen shook his head. "Fan Yan, I'm sorry for what I did, but this is the only way I can do it. I have no other choice."
His eyes held guilt, helplessness, but even more so, madness.
Gu Fanyan's heart skipped a beat.
He was willing to do anything to find Sheng Nanyin.
Lin Zhibai was instantly furious and, disregarding everything else, shouted, "Hey, you surnamed Huo, stop pretending to be a Casanova! Don't you know how Sheng Nanyin left?"
"You not only drove her away, but you also want to completely destroy her!"
"Lin Zhibai!" Gu Fanyan quickly called out.
Before she knew it, Lin Zhibai had said so much...
But it was too late for her to stop him now. Huo Beichen took a few steps forward, his gaze intensely fluctuating.
"Lin Zhibai, what else do you know! Tell me everything!" he urged urgently.
Lin Zhibai sneered, "I know a lot. Do you want to know? Let Liang Mufan come out first!"
Huo Beichen's curiosity was completely piqued. "Tell me! Tell me now!"
Lin Zhibai crossed his arms, relaxed and unhurried, and remained silent.
"Liang Mufan is upstairs!" Huo Beichen shouted, "Tell me, tell me everything you know, I won't hurt Liang Mufan, I won't..."
"Young Master Lin, please!" His tone changed, and his voice became hoarse.
His eyes were filled with pleading.
Lin Zhibai was stunned. This Huo Beichen was indeed the Huo Beichen in his memory, the Huo Beichen who became unlike himself in order to find Sheng Nanyin.
"Fan Yan, can I tell you?" He looked at Gu Fan Yan with a questioning gaze.
Huo Beichen's gaze instantly shifted to Gu Fanyan. He gripped the gate railing tightly. "Fanyan, I rarely beg you, but I'm begging you this time."
"Don't you understand? I am exactly the same as you were that rainy night."
Gu Fanyan sighed softly.
Well then, instead of trying things out, it's better to ask directly.
Hua Fei was in the car and could hear them talking clearly.
"Then tell me the truth, why won't you let Sheng Nanyin go?"
"She's already fled to such a far place, why would you still send someone to harm her?"
"I...sent someone to harm her?" Huo Beichen looked bewildered. "When did I send someone to harm her? I don't even know where she is."
Gu Fanyan shook her head. "What need do you have to lie to me?"
“I didn’t lie,” Huo Beichen shook his head as well. “She is the mother of my son, why would I harm her…”
"Then why do you have to find her?" Gu Fanyan asked.
"Because... I miss her so much..." Huo Beichen's voice gradually faded, and his gaze dimmed. "I didn't realize it then, but only after losing her do you realize that blood and flesh are connected..."
At this moment, he was no longer the high-spirited upstart in the business world.
He also missed out on being the ideal man in the hearts of many women.
At this moment, he was just a pitiful man who had lost his beloved.
A sense of pity involuntarily surfaced in Gu Fanyan's and Lin Zhibai's eyes.
They had seen his most glamorous side.
So I understand how heartbroken he is right now.
“Huo Beichen,” Gu Fanyan softened, “you and Sheng Nanyin have a huge misunderstanding…”
“I don’t think there’s any misunderstanding between him and me.” Suddenly, Hua Fei’s voice interrupted Gu Fanyan.
She walked step by step from the car, her eyes fixed on Huo Beichen, calm and clear-headed.
Upon hearing the sound, Huo Beichen raised his head, and his previously stagnant eyes began to light up.
“You…” He guessed it, but dared not say it.
“It’s me,” Hua Fei admitted. “I am Sheng Nanyin, the person you are looking for.”
Gu Fanyan and Lin Zhibai were taken aback.
I didn't expect Huafei to be so direct.
But then I thought about it again, and Huafei did this because they didn't want to put them in a difficult position.
