Chapter 372 Huo Sinian Appears

Chapter 372 Huo Sinian Appears

Jiang An went to the Li family.

She hadn't planned to get involved in this matter, thinking it was just a normal business dispute, but she didn't expect Li Chengxuan to be so outrageous after all these years.

Old Master Li was surprised to see her, because he knew that Qin An would never come to the Li family again in her life, let alone have anything to do with him, the old man.

"I didn't expect you to be willing to come here." Old Master Li sat in the main hall with a stern face, a steaming cup of tea beside him.

“If this hadn’t crossed my line, I wouldn’t have come to this disgusting place,” Jiang An said, her words laced with sarcasm.

Old Master Li's face darkened.

But he couldn't say anything.

He really did wrong these two children in the past.

Suppressing his emotions, he said directly, "Then make this quick, what do you want to see me about?"

“First, if Li Chengxuan returns to China, you are not allowed to interfere with his life or death if you hand him over to the police,” Jiang An said. “Second, no one in the Li family is allowed to threaten Ruan Ruan’s life in any way. Any objections to the shares can only be legitimate disputes that do not endanger personal safety.”

"Impossible," Old Master Li blurted out.

Jiang An's eyes were unusually calm.

Old Master Li was somewhat apprehensive and explained, "You should know that if Chengxuan is handed over to the police, the evidence Huo Zhizhou has is enough to sentence him to death."

Hired killing.

Commercial crime.

Huo Zhizhou uncovered all those minute details.

“That’s what he deserved,” Jiang An said.

"If Jiang Ruan had died yesterday, then she would have deserved it," Old Master Li said, feigning concern. "But she's alive and well and unharmed. It would be too much to ask Cheng Xuan to pay with his life."

A cool smile appeared on Jiang An's lips.

He's still the same person who only cares about profit.

Fortunately, she didn't take his kindness towards Ruan Ruan seriously during this time.

"I'm not discussing this with you, I'm informing you."

"Qin An." Old Master Li's expression was much more serious than before. "Don't think that just because Zhi Shen is protecting you and Huo Zhi Zhou is on your side, you can talk to me like this. It's none of your business what happens to the Li family. Don't forget that more than 20 years ago, you couldn't even get into the Li family."

"Instead of talking about this, why don't you take a look at this first?" Jiang An handed over a document, his expression calm.

Old Master Li frowned slightly as he accepted the gift.

His pupils contracted when he saw the contents.

How could this be...?

"I'd rather tear down the door and replace it with the Jiang family's than enter the Li family's door." Jiang An said this intentionally.

Old Master Li's chest heaved with anger: "You!"

Jiang An calmly met his gaze.

Old Master Li's hands trembled as he held the papers, his eyes piercing like swords as he stared at her: "How did you obtain these things?"

“This issue won’t affect your decision.” Jiang An didn’t want to say this, but she couldn’t imagine what would have happened to Ruan Ruan if Huo Zhizhou hadn’t arrived that day. “You only need to consider whether Li Chengxuan is more important or the entire Li family.”

Old Master Li's breathing became heavy.

He seems to have forgotten that Qin An was a computer genius more than 20 years ago.

I thought she had become mediocre after disappearing from the public eye for so many years, but now it seems she is still the same person she always was.

They are vengeful and will seek revenge for even the smallest wrongdoing.

Ruthless and decisive.

“What you obtain using your technology cannot be used as direct evidence.” Old Master Li’s words were a test. “Even if you find these things, how can you prove the legality and authenticity of how they were obtained?”

Jiang An replied naturally, "Didn't you say that I have Huo Zhizhou by my side?"

Old Master Li's eyes were sharp and deep.

“I do have limited abilities in some areas right now, but you should know what Huo Zhizhou’s abilities are,” Jiang An said seriously, which made Old Master Li think that she would really join forces with Huo Zhizhou.

This moment.

He hesitated.

"I need time to consider." Old Master Li did not refuse directly, but his mood was heavier than ever before. "During this time, I will keep an eye on the Li family and prevent them from causing any physical harm to Jiang Ruan."

Jiang An gave a timeframe: "One week."

Old Master Li agreed: "Okay."

Jiang An got up and left without lingering any longer, as if staying even a second longer would be disgusting.

Just as she was about to step out of the main hall, Old Master Li stared at her retreating figure and said, "You're threatening me with something like this? Aren't you afraid someone will die here?"

“You can try.” Jiang An remained remarkably calm, not taking the threat to heart at all. “If you dare to lay a hand on me, the entire internet will be broadcasting live how the Li family tried to kill me.”

In the end, Old Master Li gave up.

More than 20 years ago, Qin An was forced to leave by manipulating Zhi Shen.

She has no feelings for Li Zhishen now, and her unfilial son is eagerly courting her, so it will be very difficult to deal with her.

"Master." The butler returned after seeing Jiang An off.

"Give Li Chengxuan's faction a warning," Old Master Li said after much consideration. "Go to Li Ze's place tomorrow."

As Jiang An was leaving, she ran into Li Zhishen, who had rushed over after receiving the news. He came up to her with a hint of worry on his face: "An'an."

Jiang An didn't even glance at him before leaving with Mo Mo.

They arrived home at 11 p.m.

Jiang Ruan was relieved to see her return safely: "What were you busy with?"

"I chatted with someone for a while." Jiang An didn't tell her the truth, not wanting her to worry or be anxious. "It's getting late, go to sleep. You'll have to go back to work in a few days."

Jiang Ruan didn't ask any further questions when she saw that she didn't want to talk about it.

Over the next few days, Jiang Ruan spent most of her time at home continuing to delve into the management of the company and finance, occasionally going out to meet with people to discuss business. Before she knew it, it was February 7th.

That day.

Jiang Ruan received a call from Si Ning, who said that Si Ning had found out part of the information about the matter that he had asked her to investigate, but needed her to take some time to go over and confirm the authenticity of the results.

She had just chosen a time to go over in the afternoon when someone came to her house.

A hint of doubt flashed in Jiang Ruan's eyes as she looked at the man in a gray suit sitting on the sofa with a refined and scholarly expression.

Why is Huo Sinian here?

"I hope my visit is not intrusive and has not disturbed you," Huo Sinian said gently, his demeanor calm and composed.

Instead of answering, Jiang Ruan asked, "Did you come to see me for something?"

Huo Sinian: "Yes."

Jiang Ruan: "Is it related to Huo Zhizhou?"

He came to see her before because Huo Zhizhou had an accident and was hospitalized, and he hoped she would visit her. Now that Huo Zhizhou is doing well, without any illness or pain, why is he looking for her?

"You could say it's related, or you could say it's unrelated," Huo Sinian said, meeting her gaze. "The main reason I'm looking for you is..."

Jiang Ruan waited for his next words.

She and he didn't have much interaction.

What's there to talk about?

“When you divorced, your parents found out about the assets Zhizhou gave you.” Huo Sinian didn’t beat around the bush; this was completely unlike him. “They sent me to you, hoping you would return those assets and custody of Sui Sui to the Huo family.”

He wouldn't have chosen such a direct approach if he hadn't considered that offending Huo Zhizhou would result in mutual destruction.

Too stupid.

It's not effective at all.

That's utterly shameless.

Jiang Ruan: "???"

Jiang Ruan had a huge question mark above her head: "Return it to the Huo family?"
