Chapter 400 Jiang Ruan went to Ruanyuan

"What's wrong?" Tang Bai asked, noticing her unusual behavior.

"It's nothing." Jiang Ruan suppressed her emotions and didn't think about it anymore. "Let's go to the neighboring city."

Although much of what that person said was true, Huo Zhizhou was mostly a rational person, and even if he wanted to get his own answers by placing Huo Cheng under house arrest, he would not put himself in danger.

She got into the car that had been prepared in advance, and Tang Bai started the car and left the airport.

As the car drove further and further away, the man who had just passed by Jiang Ruan turned back and stood in front of a black Rolls-Royce, smiling at the car through the window.

The car window rolled down.

Huo Sinian's refined face was revealed.

"The task you assigned has been completed," reported Mr. Liu, the head of the well-known media outlet. "That woman heard everything that needed to be said."

Huo Sinian's eyes behind his glasses remained expressionless: "Hmm."

Mr. Liu tentatively asked, "Has Young Master Huo really placed Old Master Huo under house arrest?"

Huo Sinian glanced at him.

"I was too talkative!" President Liu immediately apologized, knowing full well that he shouldn't casually inquire about the affairs of such a top-tier wealthy family.

"I'll stay in Jingzhou these next few days if I have nothing else to do," Huo Sinian said unhurriedly, his slender fingers tapping lightly on the car window. "If there's any news that needs to be released, I'll let you know."

"Understood," Mr. Liu replied.

They were all sensible people and immediately understood the implied meaning of those words.

Huo Sinian raised his eyes, his words carrying an inherent sense of pressure: "Before the matter is officially announced, I don't want anyone outside spreading rumors about the Huo family."

"Don't worry, I didn't hear anything," Mr. Liu immediately stated.

Huo Sinian didn't look at him again.

The car windows were rolled up to shut out everything.

The secretary, sitting in the passenger seat, asked with some concern, "Will things go wrong if he finds out about this?"

"No." Huo Sinian fiddled with his phone, his eyes unfathomable. "He knows very well which is more important, short-term gains or a lifelong livelihood."

"Are you going to intervene on the Second Young Master's side?" the secretary asked.

Huo Sinian: "It's not the right time yet."

Making a move now would not only yield no results, but would also easily lead to Huo Zhizhou implicating him. Only when they are locked in a fierce confrontation, and his father can no longer bear it, can he take action to obtain the freedom and rights he deserves.

"Has the person I asked you to contact made the call?" he asked.

"It's all been arranged," the secretary said calmly. "The other party has agreed to cooperate with us and will be coming to Jingzhou in a few days."

"Secretly send someone to protect his safety; he is of paramount importance in this incident," Huo Sinian instructed, his eyes filled with seriousness and gravity. "There can be no mistakes whatsoever."

The secretary replied, "Young Master Lu personally brought the person back."

Huo Sinian felt a little relieved.

As long as everything goes according to plan, he can easily get everything he wants.

It was his younger brother who suffered.

Thinking about all this, he took out his phone and opened Jiang Ruan's contact information. Adhering to the principle of making the whole act convincing, he sent Jiang Ruan a message: "[Jiang Ruan, would it be convenient for you to come to Jingzhou? Huo Er's condition is not quite right.]"

Jiang Ruan was already on the highway when she received the message.

Thinking about what she had overheard as she left the airport, she turned off her phone and didn't reply.

"Miss, is something on your mind?" Tang Bai asked with concern after noticing her expression in the rearview mirror.

"Would you worry about someone who hurt you in the past, but has been trying to make amends and save you afterwards?" Jiang Ruan wondered whether she should go and meet Huo Zhizhou.

Reason told her she shouldn't go; he had just told her last time not to see him again.

But he was also worried that if he impulsively did something illegal or criminal, Huo Sinian would definitely take the opportunity to kick him while he was down, not to mention seize his power, he might even take him to court.

Tang Bai immediately realized: "You mean Huo Zhizhou?"

Mo Mo agreed: "It's Huo Zhizhou."

Jiang Ruan: "..."

A hint of hesitation flashed across Jiang Ruan's face: "Is it that obvious?"

"You've always been too lazy to bother with or care about the people who hurt you." After spending some time with her, Tang Bai understood her very well. "The only person who can make you so troubled and conflicted is Huo Zhizhou."

Because I once loved, I am worried.

Hesitation stems from past hurts.

The complexity of human nature is fully displayed in this young lady.

Mo Mo only said one word: "Yes".

Tang Bai made the decision for her and even gave her an excuse: "We'll be passing through Jingzhou on our way back from the neighboring city. I heard that Huo Zhizhou gave you a manor. Would it be convenient for you to take us there to broaden our horizons?"

Jiang Ruan paused.

Mo Mo turned to look at her.

In just a moment, Jiang Ruan realized that they had deliberately sent her over there.

"It's convenient." She stopped trying to avoid it.

"It just so happens that Mo Mo and I haven't explored Jingzhou yet." Tang Bai was a decisive person in everything he did. "You go ahead and do your thing, and we'll wander around Jingzhou."

Jiang Ruan agreed.

They soon arrived in the neighboring city and had dinner with the person in charge that evening. During the meal, Mo Mo helped Jiang Ruan fend off drinks the whole time, and the two sides had a pleasant conversation.

We discussed the general details of the second phase of the project over the weekend and signed the contract on Monday.

Everything went very smoothly.

After everything was over, they set off for Jingzhou.

Returning to this familiar place, Jiang Ruan was filled with mixed emotions. Standing at the entrance of Ruanyuan, looking at the endless green space and the villas deep inside, a decision in her heart became clearer.

"Miss Jiang?!" The bodyguard guarding the door recognized her at a glance. "You're back!"

"Quickly, tell the housekeeper about this."

"Have the kitchen prepare something delicious."

"Miss Jiang, how many days do you plan to stay this time?"

"Where are the young master and Madam Jiang? Why didn't they come back with you?"

The two of them spoke one after another, their eyes filled with gossip and curiosity, and it was clear that they were both happy about Jiang Ruan's appearance.

Jiang Ruan stood there in a daze. She had always thought that they would leave soon or go to Huo Zhizhou's new place to help him take care of his life, but she did not expect that their attitude towards her had never changed.

"We'll drop you off here." Tang Bai felt relieved after seeing how kind the people here were to her. "If you need anything, just call me and Mo Mo anytime. We'll be there whenever you call."

"Don't you want to go in and take a look?" Jiang Ruan said.

"It's the same whether you play around or come back to check on it later," Tang Bai said unhurriedly. "It's here, it won't run away."

Mo Mo, with a serious, robotic expression, said, "Call me if you need anything."

Jiang Ruan said "okay".

Tang Bai and Mo Mo drove away.

After the car left the Ruanyuan area, Tang Bai stopped on the side of the road.

Mo Mo looked at him, puzzled: "What are you doing?"

Tang Bai asked a very serious question: "Have you received a call from the captain these past few days?"

Mo Mo: "No."

Tang Bai: "Where's the news?"

Mo Mo: "No, not either."

Tang Bai: "???"

As Tang Bai turned on his phone, he muttered to himself, "That's strange. Logically speaking, she should have arrived in Haicheng long ago. Why hasn't she sent us a single message?"

"I don't know if she sent it or not," Mo Mo said seriously. "I turned off my phone."
