Chapter 149 My family consists only of you and Sui Sui

"Boss, is it illegal to make a cut like this?" Lin Bei asked very sincerely.

Huo Zhizhou didn't bother with them and dismissed them with one sentence: "Take him to the police station and check his background. The fact that he dared to take on this kind of job means it's not his first time."

"Yes!" Lin Bei and Lin Feng immediately went to do it.

"I can't go to the police station!" the truck driver said anxiously. "I admit my mistake, I apologize to Ms. Jiang, and I promise I will never do it again."

Huo Zhizhou didn't even glance at him, stood up and walked past him with indifference.

If he hadn't happened to call Jiang Ruan, they would most likely have been in trouble today. He couldn't bear the consequences, nor could he accept them.

"Young Master Huo!" the truck driver shouted.

"Stop shouting." Lin Feng and Lin Bei dragged him out. "The BOSS has made a decision. No matter how much you shout, it won't do you any good. Just go to the police station and confess. You can get a two-year reduction in your sentence."

The truck driver wanted to argue, but then he realized that it wouldn't be difficult for Huo Zhizhou to find out what he had done in the past.

In a short time.

Panic and unease spread through my heart.

Huo Zhizhou got into the car and said to the driver, "Back to Ruanyuan."

"Aren't we going to look for Jiang Chenren?" Si Ning, who had been called over to the passenger seat, turned around and asked, telling him Jiang Chenren's location, "He's heading to the airport right now, most likely to escape."

Huo Zhizhou took out his phone and called Gu Shixi: "Don't let Jiang Chenren board the plane."

Gu Shixi: "No problem."

Si Ning propped her head up with her hand: "If you're not going to look for him, then why did you call me here?"

"Just in case." Huo Zhizhou said in a serious tone, which was infuriating. "If something happens while I'm around, I can get timely feedback. If I'm not around, you might not be able to contact me."

He really knows her well.

Si Ning, unusually, did not refute.

"Keep an eye on Jiang Chenren's movements during this time," Huo Zhizhou said, his thin lips slightly parted. "He told me this when he went to the Huo family's old residence."

“Okay.” Si Ning agreed readily.

Huo Zhizhou hummed in agreement and didn't say anything more.

He took out his phone, unlocked it, and tapped the screen a few times with his slender, elegant fingers, sending a message to Assistant Jiang: "What is she doing?"

Assistant Jiang glanced in Jiang Ruan's direction and quickly replied: "Miss Jiang and Miss Su are playing with the young master in the yard."

Huo Zhizhou: [Hmm.]

Huo Zhizhou: [Have the housekeeper send them some of her favorite foods.]

Assistant Jiang's gaze fell on the butler who was making the delivery, and he quickly replied with a few words: "The butler is making the delivery."

Huo Zhizhou didn't reply again. He only felt a little relieved when he learned that they were treating her well even without his notification.

"Miss Jiang, these are your favorite snacks and fruits." The butler treated her very well; he had watched them grow up over the years. "Take a look and see if they suit your taste."

"Thank you." Jiang Ruan nodded slightly.

"You're too kind." The butler didn't bother them any further. "Just call me anytime if you need anything."

After Jiang Ruan said "okay," the butler left, leaving the three of them alone.

Seeing that the people from Ruanyuan treated her as usual, Su Zhu couldn't help but ask her, "Ruanruan, how do you plan to handle things between you two?"

It's said that best friends can't stand each other's boyfriends.

Before Su Anran's incident, she really thought Huo Zhizhou could be her best friend's husband.

"Find a time to have a proper talk with him." Jiang Ruan's emotions had calmed down, and today's events had made her less distant from him. "He should be a reasonable person."

"What if he still doesn't?" Su Zhu couldn't help but look at Sui Sui, who was engrossed in playing with building blocks next to her, and a lot of emotions welled up in her heart.

Jiang Ruan fell silent.

If Huo Zhizhou is truly determined not to break up with her, she really doesn't know what to do for the time being.

The doctor said that Mom would wake up within two months at most, but so much time has passed and there is no sign of her waking up. Moreover, both she and Sui Sui are still registered under his household registration book, so it is simply a pipe dream to leave quietly.

She didn't care.

But I have to study every year.

So... if you want to take Sui Sui away, he has to agree willingly.

"Have you asked him why he got involved with Su Anran?" Su Zhu asked again.

“I asked him.” Jiang Ruan still remembers what he said back then. “He said he would tell me when I returned to his side.”

Su Zhu: "..."

Su Fufu rubbed his forehead.

She truly couldn't understand why someone like Huo Zhizhou would get involved with Su Anran.

While the two were talking, Huo Zhizhou returned. After getting out of the car, he went straight to Jiang Ruan's side. When she saw him, Sui Sui tilted her little head and called out to him, "Uncle Huo, you're back."

Su Zhu had a big question mark on her forehead.

Uncle Huo?

"Uncle Huo needs to talk to your mommy about something. Do you want to go upstairs and play by yourself, or should I have the housekeeper take you up?" Huo Zhizhou raised his hand and poked him on the forehead, already used to this way of addressing him.

Sui Sui subconsciously looked at Jiang Ruan.

Jiang Ruan nodded to him; she knew Huo Zhizhou was about to talk about the car.

A moment later.

Only the three of them remained in the courtyard. Huo Zhizhou's gaze fell on Jiang Ruan, and there was something more between his brows than before.

Jiang Ruan noticed: "What's wrong?"

"The truck driver admitted he was hired." Huo Zhizhou didn't say who ordered him, "The target is you."

Jiang Ruan paused for a moment.

You guessed right.

Huo Zhizhou continued, "Su Zhu's car is still under inspection, and the complete report is expected to be available early tomorrow morning."

"Is the person who hired him my dad or your dad?" Jiang Ruan asked directly.

She had suspected it might be related to her discovering her mother's property transfer document, but Xiao He had tested her and found no problems.

Besides, even if there were problems, they wouldn't have enough time to arrange for someone to tamper with things in such a short period of time. The only possible culprits are Jiang Chenren, who has been following them all along, or Huo Cheng, whom they offended last time.

"On the surface, he's your father." Huo Zhizhou didn't hide it, his eyes deeper than ever before. "Secretly, my father might also be involved."

“If it’s ultimately confirmed that both of them were involved…” Jiang Ruan hesitated for a moment before saying this, “Can I sue both of them together?”

Even if Huo Zhizhou didn't get along with them, they were still father and son.

Planning to kill someone and throwing them into the water to torture them are two completely different outcomes.

“Yes, but your chances of winning against Huo Cheng are slim.” Huo Zhizhou’s thin lips parted slightly, and he then explained the reason: “Huo Si’s annual meeting will get involved. He’s the best at maintaining all sorts of superficial relationships. Even if he doesn’t like Huo Cheng, he will still step in to protect him.”

Jiang Ruan remained silent, deep in thought.

With her current abilities, going up against the Huo family would indeed be like throwing an egg against a rock.

Besides Huo Zhizhou, the Huo family also has Huo Sinian.

"If you trust me, handle Huo Cheng's situation the way I do," Huo Zhizhou suggested, seeing that she had thought it through. "If you don't trust me, I'll arrange a lawyer for you, and the outcome will be up to fate."

"Why?" Jiang Ruan couldn't help but ask.

Huo Zhizhou didn't react for a moment: "What?"

Jiang Ruan said, "I want a divorce from you, so why are you still choosing to stand by my side and help me deal with your family?"

"My family consists only of you and Sui Sui." Huo Zhizhou had a clear understanding of everything about himself. Ever since that incident, he had erased Huo Cheng and the others from his family.

They don't deserve it.
