Chapter 370 Qin Muchuan Arrives

When I met him, Huo Zhizhou was explaining things to Assistant Jiang.

Because of what happened before, he had a problem with Gu Shixi.

“I know you don’t want to see me. If I hadn’t been asked to come here, I wouldn’t have gotten in your way.” Gu Shixi always spoke frankly with him, and took a step to sit down on the desk in front of him.

Huo Zhizhou glanced at him but didn't say a word.

Gu Shixi felt like he was sitting on pins and needles. Thinking of Jiang Ruan's instructions, he opened his arms to Huo Zhizhou and said, "Come here, give me a hug."

Huo Zhizhou: "?"

Si Ning on the sofa next to him: "?"

Assistant Jiang: "!"

The two looked at him strangely.

I don't understand his strange behavior.

"What happened before was my fault, I apologize and make amends." Gu Shixi hugged him despite the immense pressure, "Let's let bygones be bygones and wipe the slate clean, how about that?"

"What's wrong with you?" Huo Zhizhou stopped him with one hand.

Assistant Jiang wisely slipped away.

His intuition told him that it wasn't the right time to stay here.

"You'll hurt me if you do this." Gu Shixi had never been in a relationship and didn't quite understand what Jiang Ruan meant by getting along with a girlfriend, so he could only rely on what he had seen on TV and the relationships of people around him. "Don't you care about me at all?"

Huo Zhizhou stared at him with his dark eyes.

That attitude clearly indicated that if he said anything more nonsense, they would throw him out.

"Forget it, I won't hold it against you." Gu Shixi got off the table and took Huo Zhizhou's cup. "I'll get you some hot water. It's so cold, don't drink anything cold."

Huo Zhizhou blocked his hand, his eyes filled with intense pressure.

Si Ning couldn't stand it anymore, so she stood up with her laptop and said, "I'm leaving now. You two can continue your conversation."

Gu Shixi opened his mouth as if to explain.

Si Ning suddenly turned back: "That's right."

Gu Shixi and Huo Zhizhou looked at the same time.

"If you two are planning to develop a relationship, you'd better tell Jiang Ruan first," Si Ning reminded her, glancing back and forth between the two of them before saying seriously, "It's disgusting to be pursuing someone while engaging in ambiguous relationships here."

Huo Zhizhou: "..."

Gu Shixi: "..."

Gu Shixi immediately spoke up: "It's not what you think."

Si Ning's gaze fell on his body, which was almost touching Huo Zhizhou's, and her words were very natural: "Before you say that, take a look at what you are doing."

"Don't make me throw you off here." Huo Zhizhou's voice was cold.

Gu Shixi immediately distanced himself.

Huo Zhizhou continued with his own business.

“I know you don’t like this.” Gu Shixi coughed lightly. In order to make his death a little slower, he decided to tell him what was going on. “But you will have to accept this for the next three months.”

Huo Zhizhou: "Are you sick?"

Gu Shixi found a seat and sat down: "You'll have to ask yourself that."

Huo Zhizhou: "?"

"Who told you to tell Jiang Ruan that this is how friends should interact?" Gu Shixi said naturally. "I owed her a favor before, and this is to repay her."

Huo Zhizhou paused, realizing that the trouble was caused by the things he had said to her last night.

"Now she's asking me to treat you like this, but what if she later gets Si Ning to treat you the same way?" Gu Shixi asked. "Given Si Ning's relationship with her mother, she's very likely to agree to something like this."

Huo Zhizhou said with certainty, "She won't."

Gu Shixi: "How could she not be one to stir up trouble?"

Huo Zhizhou: "I meant Jiang Ruan wouldn't."

Jiang Ruan indeed didn't know how. After finishing her work, she called Si Ning, and the two arranged to meet at a certain place.

The meeting we had agreed to was temporarily delayed because we were being chased.

Now that we have some free time, we need to finish this discussion.

That afternoon.

Si Ning came to find her.

Worried that Li Chengxuan might have a hidden trick up his sleeve, Si Ning arranged to meet at Jiang Ruan's house.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Jiang Ruan explained the purpose of her meeting: "I want you to help me investigate something."

Si Ning: "The Qin family?"

Jiang Ruan looked surprised.

I didn't expect her to guess so accurately.

"The phone call you made to me before the incident was probably unrelated to Li Chengxuan's matter." Si Ning spoke calmly and slowly, giving people a comfortable feeling. "Since you didn't ask your master to help investigate, it can only be the Qin family."

"I want to investigate the matter of Mr. Qin's serious illness and hospitalization many years ago." Jiang Ruan didn't beat around the bush.

Si Ning: "Okay."

Jiang Ruan added, "It's been a long time, so we won't force you if we can't find it."

“If it existed, we can definitely find it,” Si Ning promised her. “It’s just that it’s been a long time, so it might take a while. I’ll let you know when I’ve finished checking.”

Jiang Ruan said "okay".

The two had just finished talking when they heard voices downstairs.

A moment later, Mo Mo came up to report: "Boss, the Qin family has arrived."

Jiang Ruan asked, "Who?"

Mo Mo: "Qin Muchuan and Qin Luofeng."

Jiang Ruan frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then went downstairs.

Seeing her come down, Qin Muchuan immediately stood up and asked with concern, "Ruanruan, are you alright?"

"Why are you here, Uncle and Cousin?" Jiang Ruan maintained a polite demeanor.

"I heard you had some trouble on your way home yesterday, so I came to check on you." Qin Muchuan said directly, his gaze sweeping over her several times. "Are you alright?"

Jiang Ruan: "No."

Qin Muchuan breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. You have no idea how worried we were when we heard the news."

Jiang Ruan smiled slightly and didn't say anything more.

Although all the clues now point to Li Chengxuan harming her, she is certain that Qin Muchuan or Qin Luofeng are involved.

Her decision to go to the Qin family was made on short notice. Even if Li Chengxuan's men were secretly watching her, it was impossible for him to know exactly when she left the Qin family and arrange for a car accident.

The only possibility is that someone in the Qin family tipped off Li Chengxuan.

"Take good care of yourself during this time, and let your uncle know if anything happens." Qin Muchuan's words were very polite on the surface. "Once I find out who did it, I will definitely give you an explanation."

"Li Chengxuan," Jiang Ruan told him.

Qin Muchuan paused, not reacting for a moment: "What?"

Jiang Ruan repeated, "It was made by Li Chengxuan."

Qin Muchuan's brows immediately furrowed.

Qin Luofeng glanced at him.

They didn't expect to find out so quickly. It has to be said that Huo Zhizhou behind Jiang Ruan is indeed powerful.

"There's something I might need to trouble you with, Uncle." Jiang Ruan knew they were trying to harm her, so she decided to lay everything out in the open.

"Go ahead," Qin Muchuan said, surprised that she would bring this up. After all, their previous conversations had been very polite and distant, and she felt it was a waste of time to say anything more. "As long as it's something Uncle can do, I will definitely help."

“Although Li Chengxuan was the one who killed me on the surface, someone in the Qin family must have helped him,” Jiang Ruan said. “I hope my uncle can help me find out who tipped him off.”

Qin Muchuan was good at putting on an act: "The Qin family?"

Jiang Ruan explained, "If he hadn't known the exact time I left the Qin family, Li Chengxuan wouldn't have been able to arrange the first car accident."
