Lin Zhibai asked in surprise, "You didn't know about this?"
“Hey,” he said, quite annoyed, “I was thinking of asking you about this.”
"Tell me your clues, and I'll send people to look for them," Huo Beichen said immediately, no longer bothering to pretend to be calm.
“I have no objection to you sending someone to look for her,” Lin Zhibai glanced at him, “Aren’t you afraid your current wife will find out that you care so much about your ex-girlfriend?”
"Don't worry about it." Huo Beichen frowned.
Lin Zhibai shrugged. "Wait a minute, I'll have my assistant send me the details."
As he spoke, he slapped the driver's seat, and the driver immediately started the car.
"Where to?" Huo Beichen asked.
"My assistant needs some time to sort out the details for me. Can I just wait here with you?" Lin Zhibai didn't even lift his eyelids, continuing to scroll through his phone.
In fact, he was secretly observing Huo Beichen's reaction.
Huo Beichen didn't speak, but turned to look out the car window, appearing calm.
However, his hands, resting on his knees, betrayed him... both hands were clenched into fists.
His reaction was within Lin Zhibai's expectations.
He had always been very concerned about Sheng Nanyin's whereabouts.
The car stopped, but ended up in the plaza next to a large building.
"Young Master Lin, Young Master Gu is out," the driver suddenly said, preparing to open the door and get out of the car.
“No need,” Lin Zhibai stopped him, “I’ll go myself.”
Huo Beichen didn't know what Lin Zhibai was going to do, nor did he ask. It seemed that what Lin Zhibai was going to do had nothing to do with Sheng Nanyin.
But his gaze remained fixed on Lin Zhibai.
Not long after, Lin Zhibai returned, with a little boy by his side.
“I bet you’re too scared to get in the car,” Lin Zhibai said.
"Who says I don't dare?" The little boy darted up and his eyes were immediately drawn to the many Ultraman figures inside the car.
Big ones, small ones, glowing ones, non-glowing ones, all kinds of models... He tried his best to turn his eyes, but he still felt like he couldn't see them all.
Huo Beichen recognized the child as Liang Mufan and understood that Young Master Lin was mainly there to comfort the child and, incidentally, to help him with a favor.
"How about it? Isn't this place cool?" Lin Zhibai got into the car.
Liang Mufan nodded reluctantly, though her little face showed some reluctance.
"Can I play?" He was deeply attracted.
Lin Zhibai shrugged calmly, "I have to go home now, how about next time?"
Liang Mufan considered it for a moment with some difficulty, "Then if I go to your house, can I play these games?"
“That’s fine,” Lin Zhibai nodded, “but do you need your family’s permission?”
Liang Mufan immediately turned around and leaned against the car window, shouting to the nanny waiting outside, "Auntie, I'm going to Lin Zhibai's house. Please tell my grandma and mom."
The nanny smiled and nodded.
In the hearts of the Gu family's employees, Lin Zhibai was already a prospective son-in-law.
Liang Mufan happily picked up one of the Ultraman figures and asked Lin Zhibai, "Do you know his name?"
When buying it, Lin Zhibai only asked the salesperson to pack one of each model of Ultraman.
But he really didn't know their names.
"Didn't you say you also like playing with Ultraman?" Liang Mufan asked, a look of doubt in his eyes.
Well… Lin Zhibai told a lie, but he didn’t expect Liang Mufan to ask such a tricky question.
“He is Ultraman Tiga,” Huo Beichen suddenly said.
Liang Mufan's gaze immediately shifted to Huo Beichen, and then she picked up another one.
"It's Mebius, it's Geno, Zero..." Before Liang Mufan could ask, Huo Beichen had already rattled off a long list of names.
And each of them was absolutely right.
"Wow, you know a lot!" Liang Mufan looked at Huo Beichen as if he were an idol.
Lin Zhibai was also quite surprised, "President Huo, you've been having quite a bit of fun!"
Huo Beichen's lips curled into a smile, "You forgot I have a son."
The things that little boys like are pretty much the same.
Lin Zhibai was speechless. He felt that Huo Beichen was mocking him, but he had no evidence.
“You know his son,” he said. “He’s Zeze.”
Liang Mufan's eyes lit up. "Where is Brother Zeze? Is he alright?"
Huo Beichen was surprised that such a young child was so caring.
"He's much better, but he still can't run or jump. You can play together later," he said.
After driving for a while, Lin Zhibai's phone suddenly rang.
He answered the phone, his expression gradually becoming serious.
Huo Beichen's heart skipped a beat. After Lin Zhibai hung up the phone, he asked, "Is there a problem with Sheng Nanyin's lead?"
Lin Zhibai shook his head: "It has nothing to do with you. It's a company matter..." He looked at Liang Mufan, "I can't go home for the time being. I'll have the driver take you home."
Liang Mufan's gaze remained fixed on the Ultraman figures, refusing to move.
Lin Zhibai almost softened and was about to say that he would send all these Ultraman toys to your house.
He managed to hold back.
He's already given away toys, what will he use to entice Liang Mufan to go with him next time?
"When you get off the bus later, you can pick two to take back with you; consider it a gift from me," he said to Liang Mufan as they were getting off.
"What about my situation?" Huo Beichen asked.
“Keep waiting, it won’t be that fast,” Lin Zhibai raised an eyebrow. “I’ll let you know as soon as I have any news.”
After Lin Zhibai left, the car continued driving forward.
Liang Mufan picked out two Ultraman figures, held them in his arms, and waited to get off the bus.
The more Huo Beichen looked at the child, the more familiar he felt... not in the way they had met before, but because the child's face resembled someone he knew...
For a moment, he couldn't remember who this person was.
"When can I go see Brother Zeze?" Liang Mufan asked, meeting his gaze.
"Next time," Huo Beichen replied.
Liang Mufan pouted, "You adults always talk like this, you like to keep people in suspense."
"Oh?" Huo Beichen was amused by his words, which were both naive and mature. "Who else likes to keep you in suspense?"
“Lin Zhibai,” Liang Mufan shrugged. “He only gave me two Ultraman toys, isn’t he just trying to get me to play with him again next time?”
Huo Beichen was surprised.
This child is so smart!
They saw right through Lin Zhibai's little scheme!
"Cough cough!" The driver in the front seat also choked.
Huo Beichen became increasingly interested in the child and couldn't help but tease him, "Do you know why Lin Zhibai is keeping you in suspense?"
Liang Mufan spread her hands: "He couldn't handle my mom, so he tried to get through to me. Actually, he's wrong. I would never be a matchmaker."
"Hahaha!" Huo Beichen couldn't help but burst into laughter, amused by the child.
Then he came to his senses; he hadn't laughed so happily in a long time.
The last time he laughed like that was when Hua Fei was arguing and bickering with him.
“Uncle, when you smile, you look just like Brother Zeze,” Liang Mufan said earnestly.
Huo Beichen affectionately rubbed his little head. "It seems you really miss Zeze. Why don't you come to my house to see him today?"
