Chapter 218 Huo Zhizhou Agreed

Assistant Jiang's eyes widened in surprise.

That's outrageous!

"Sure." Huo Zhizhou didn't even blink.

To him, Su Anran is now a nuisance. As long as he can use money to buy out the promise that extends from that favor, he wouldn't hesitate for even 1 billion, let alone 200 million.

"Second," Su Anran said, her palms sweating, "I need you to promise that no matter what happens, you will not take this money back in any form, and you will not cause me any trouble."

Huo Zhizhou's gaze fell on her.

Even though she hadn't said a word, Su Anran felt guilty, as if he had seen through her.

"Will you agree or not?" she urged, not wanting to reveal her true intentions.

"It's possible," Huo Zhizhou said casually, making up a lie to buy time. "But I don't have that much liquid capital on hand right now, so I'll have to wait a week."

"Go borrow it." Su Anran didn't want to wait.

Every extra day we wait increases the danger.

Dr. Yin was being watched by Ye Yanzhi's people at all times, and she didn't even have a chance to contact her.

If she suddenly wakes up one day, she might just expose her secret.

Huo Zhizhou gave Assistant Jiang a look before continuing his conversation with Su Anran: "I am the president of Huo Group. If I borrow money from others, it's easy for people to misunderstand that Huo Group is failing."

“Borrow it from your friend!” Su Anran had no doubts, only wanting to get the money and leave. “Gu Shixi definitely has it, call him.”

"Su Anran," Huo Zhizhou called her.

Su Anran tensed up, but forced herself to remain calm.

Seeing that Assistant Jiang was still secretly typing on his phone, Huo Zhizhou said unhurriedly, "Don't you think you're behaving very strangely right now?"

Su Anran felt a chill run down her spine: "What's wrong with you?"

"I offered you so many things before and you refused them all, but now you suddenly want money." Huo Zhizhou knew something was up; Su Anran was a typical egoist. "Did you do something wrong?"

"I just don't want to keep wasting my time with you!" Su Anran had already prepared her explanation. "And I don't want people to say I'm a mistress."

Huo Zhizhou's gaze was extremely imposing.

Just being watched was enough to make Su Anran feel overwhelmed.

Unable to bear the look in her eyes, she could only snap: "Are you going to hit me or not? While I only want money and not you right now, you'd better agree quickly, or I'll change my mind and cling to you like before, making sure you and Jiang Ruan never find happiness in your lives."

"I won't look for anyone other than Gu Shixi," Huo Zhizhou emphasized first.

Su Anran had no doubt whatsoever: "Okay."

Huo Zhizhou picked up his phone and dialed a number.

It rang about four or five times before the other end answered, and the person was rather rude from the start: "Aren't you telling me to leave? You miss me, don't you?"

Assistant Jiang: "..."

Huo Zhizhou: "Do you have money?"

Gu Shixi: "What a question! How could I, the president of the prestigious Gu Group, be short of money?"

Huo Zhizhou calmly replied, "Lend me two hundred million."

Gu Shixi: "No money!"

Huo Zhizhou: "I need it urgently."

"Who knows if your urgent need is to expand into new business and steal my job?" Gu Shixi blurted out naturally. "I have no money, but you can take my life."

Huo Zhizhou's gaze fell on Su Anran: "He won't lend it."

Gu Shi, dressed in a suit, looked quite presentable: "Who are you talking to?"

Huo Zhizhou hung up the phone.

Su Anran weighed the pros and cons in her mind, and after some consideration, she finally spoke: "I will definitely regret it if I wait a week. Even if you bring me four hundred million, I may not want it. At most, I'll wait three days."

"Okay," Huo Zhizhou said in a low voice.

"And the second condition?" Su Anran asked.

Huo Zhizhou considered her words for a moment and then said, "Okay."

Su Anran felt a little relieved, but she emphasized, "You said it yourself. If you break your promise, you and Jiang Ruan will never be happy."

Huo Zhizhou showed no emotional fluctuation on his face: "Hmm."

"Have Jiang Yu book a luxury hotel for me. I'll come back to you to pay up when the three-day deadline is up." Su Anran was only thinking about escaping.

Huo Zhizhou gestured with his chin towards Jiang's assistant.

The latter immediately made the arrangements.

Not long after.

Gu Shixi called: "What was the meaning of that phone call just now?"

He borrowed so much money from him; there's clearly something wrong with that.

Huo Zhizhou briefly explained the whole story.

After listening, Gu Shixi had a question mark on his forehead: "Wasn't she pestering you to the point of death and using so many tricks? Why did she suddenly give up?"

"Check what happened during this period," Huo Zhizhou said. "Where did she go, and who did she meet?"

Gu Shixi: "..."

Gu Shixi: "Didn't you tell me to come back and take care of my own business? Turns out you just wanted me to come back and run errands for you."

"After I finish investigating that overseas client, I'll take care of it for you," Huo Zhizhou said slowly. "I'll also help you finalize that collaboration that's been dragging on for a year."

"Deal!" Gu Shixi agreed very readily.

The call ended.

There was a knock on the ward door.

Then Qin Jiangye, wearing a hospital gown, walked in, still exuding that carefree and nonchalant air: "We meet again, brother-in-law."

Huo Zhizhou: "..."

Still not behaving properly while in the hospital?

"I'm so bored tonight and can't sleep." Qin Jiangye sat down in his chair, legs crossed, looking quite relaxed. "How about we talk about a collaboration?"

Huo Zhizhou: "Go ahead."

Qin Jiangye grinned and said, "My brother-in-law is so easy to talk to."

Huo Zhizhou ignored his form of address.

The more you argue with this kind of person, the more enthusiastically they shout.

"I have something to tell you, but you have to help me get my older brother out of office." Qin Jiangye didn't beat around the bush, being unusually direct for someone in the industry. "This matter involves my younger cousin."

Huo Zhizhou's dark eyes were very deep.

Before this period, Jiang Ruan had never had any connection with the Qin family.

Where did it come from?

“Aunt’s accident was not an accident.” Qin Jiangye didn’t even try to negotiate, he said directly, “It was deliberate.”

"Evidence." Huo Zhizhou looked at him with deep, dark eyes.

"There's no concrete evidence; I overheard it by accident," Qin Jiangye said casually. "Because of my youthful curiosity, I've been suppressed by them ever since, and I can't even turn things around. Tsk."

Huo Zhizhou grasped the key point: "They found out?"

Qin Jiangye said casually, "Nonsense, didn't you realize I could have achieved this much?"

Huo Zhizhou thought he had a lot of ulterior motives.

They came to see him openly and even stayed in the same hospital as him.

It was obvious they were trying to drag him into this mess so that the rest of the Qin family would think he was allied with them.

"Whether you agree to cooperate or not, after these two meetings, my two brothers are definitely starting to suspect that I told you about this." Qin Jiangye smiled, a little cheeky. "You can't draw a clear line."

Huo Zhizhou's eyes were as deep and dark as the night.

Qin Jiangye may seem unreliable, but given his position in the Qin family, he wouldn't speak carelessly.

More than 90% of what he said is true.

“As far as I know, your aunt has had no contact with the Qin family for many years.” He spoke after a brief moment of thought. “Why would they want to harm her more than twenty years later?”

"Because of the shares." Qin Jiangye didn't hide anything. "My aunt was forced to sell her shares and leave Haicheng, but she was, after all, my grandfather's only daughter. When she signed that share agreement, it was clearly stated that my aunt's descendants could buy back the shares at the original selling price."
