Chapter 404 Tang Bai's Sharp Brain

"No need to see me off." Jiang Ruan said these two words very calmly.

Huo Sinian nodded slightly and left, displaying composure and humility throughout.

Gu Shixi stood at the gate watching his car drive out of Ruanyuan, and said to Jiang Ruan with a hint of doubt in his eyes, "Given Huo Sinian's personality, he shouldn't just say these two unimportant words."

"What do you think his purpose is?" Jiang Ruan thought so too.

Huo Sinian is calculating in his actions. Those words just now brought him no substantial information or benefit, and according to his usual style, he would never have made this trip.

"The primary target is Huo Er." Gu Shixi leaned against a pillar, analyzing the situation step by step. "Besides gathering information, the only other reason for coming here is..."

He seemed to have thought of something.

Gu Shixi's brows immediately furrowed.

He stared at Jiang Ruan with a serious expression.

"Where are your two very capable bodyguards?" he asked.

"I went out to run some errands," Jiang Ruan said casually, without explaining it clearly.

"Huo Sinian's target is most likely you." This was the only answer Gu Shixi could think of. "He can't rescue Uncle Huo if he can't find Huo Er, so he can only use you to threaten him."

If Huo Sinian wants to gain control of the Huo Group, he has to do everything he can to protect Huo Cheng. Finding Huo Er would be difficult for him on his own, so capturing Jiang Ruan is the best option.

Jiang Ruan thought about the conversation they had just had and felt that this was not Huo Sinian's real purpose.

If Huo Sinian's target is her, then it's all too obvious.

Moreover, she was in the Software Park, a place covered by surveillance cameras, so he had no chance to make a move.

"Have your two bodyguards come back as soon as possible." Gu Shixi quickly made a decision. "I'll go find Huo Er and contact you if I have any news."

"What if it isn't?" Jiang Ruan asked.

"As long as you're alright, Huo Er can handle any other unforeseen circumstances," Gu Shixi replied, his heart also feeling somewhat heavy at that moment. "In the meantime, please contact him occasionally."

After saying that, Gu Shixi left.

Jiang Ruan stood at the door for a long time without going in.

She went through the whole thing, and based on Huo Sinian's behavior during this period, she felt that Huo Sinian's visit to her was intentional, just to let people know that he was here.

"Miss Jiang." The young butler handed her a shawl and draped it over her shoulders. "It's windy outside, let's go inside."

"Do you know what properties Huo Zhizhou owns?" Jiang Ruan asked, recalling that the housekeeper had helped manage them before. "Pre-marital properties?"

The butler nodded: "I understand."

Jiang Ruan: "Let me see."

The housekeeper went up to get the documents without hesitation.

He had asked the boss before if he wanted to move those things, and the boss said no, adding that he would ask him to come back and live with her after Miss Jiang forgave him.

Five minutes later.

The housekeeper took down a folder of documents.

He took out a booklet and handed it over, which listed Huo Zhizhou's properties around the world, along with their addresses and sizes: "All of BOSS's properties are listed here. If you need the property certificates, I'll go up and get them."

"No need." Jiang Ruan took it and looked through it.

Looking at the densely packed words, she remained calm and took a pen and a piece of paper from the side, circling the possible addresses.

Huo Zhizhou and Huo Cheng could not leave Jingzhou for other places. If they stayed in Jingzhou, he would either choose a remote suburb, the area near where Shan Mu'an jumped off the building, or the area around the Shan family's old house.

It's unlikely to happen anywhere else.

"What is this?" The butler looked at the address with a puzzled expression.

"Get me a car ready." Jiang Ruan put the paper away and decided to go check it out. "I need to go out."

The housekeeper didn't ask any further questions and immediately went to prepare.

Thinking about what Gu Shixi had said, just in case, she still sent a message to Tang Bai and Mo Mo: 【Is Jingzhou fun?】

She wouldn't call them if they were playing, but if they were bored, she would ask them to come back and keep her company.

Tang Bai: [This isn't fun.]

Mo Mo: [+1.]

Jiang Ruan sent a question mark.

Tang Bai seriously complained, "It's too expensive, no different from Haicheng."

Mo Mo: "It's not as fun as where I live."

Tang Bai: "Indeed."

"Since you're not having fun, come back and visit a few places with me." Jiang Ruan didn't stand on ceremony with them, after all, they were people she had hired. "I'll give you a break when we're done."

"Forget about the holiday." Tang Bai had absolutely no desire for time off. "Give me a bonus."

Mo Mo echoed this sentiment.

Jiang Ruan agreed without hesitation.

The next second.

Tang Bai and Mo Mo entered through the main gate, one leaning against the doorframe and the other standing ramrod straight: "When are we leaving?"

Jiang Ruan: "?"

Jiang Ruan looked at them with a face full of surprise.

She glanced at the time; they came in in less than three minutes. Had they never left the Soft Garden?

"Don't look at us with such surprise." Tang Bai said with a blade of grass dangling from his mouth, looking quite nonchalant. "You're our sugar daddy, protecting you is our duty. How could we possibly neglect our responsibilities?"

After the captain received the call, he originally planned to go sightseeing, but after looking at the travel guide, he found that those places were not very attractive to them.

Just as they were about to return, they saw Huo Sinian's car drive in. Thinking that in case of any unexpected situation, they quietly crept up.

"The car is ready." Tang Bai had a handsome smile. "Please, my young lady."

A smile flashed in Jiang Ruan's eyes.

She put down her shawl, took her phone, and left with them, telling the housekeeper before she left.

On the way out of Ruanyuan, Jiang Ruan gave them a brief account of the situation. Tang Bai thought for a moment and said, "I have a question."

Jiang Ruan raised her eyes: "Go ahead."

"Besides the housekeeper at Soft Garden, how many people know about my ex-husband's properties?" Tang Bai was exceptionally quick-witted. "Does the eldest young master of the Huo family know?"

“I should know some of it,” Jiang Ruan said seriously, “but it’s impossible for me to know everything.”

“I don’t recommend going near his friend’s old house or the area where his friend had the accident,” Tang Bai analyzed. “What you can think of, Huo Sinian can also think of. My ex-husband isn’t that stupid.”

Mo Mo said in a human-machine tone: "What if my ex-husband thinks the same way?"

Tang Bai rolled his eyes at him: "Searching that place doesn't require much effort, he won't put himself in danger."

"Where to?" Jiang Ruan asked.

"The Huo family's old residence," Tang Bai gave an answer.

Jiang Ruan: "???"

Mo Mo: "???"

Tang Bai's martial arts skills are not as good as Mo Mo's, but his brains are as sharp as several of them: "How could such a thing be done on one's own property? How unlucky!"

“He can only feel completely at ease doing this kind of thing on his own turf,” Jiang Ruan said. “After all, he’s facing Huo Sinian, who’s not much different from him.”

Huo Sinian is quick-witted and has a deep mind.

Huo Zhizhou doesn't make plans casually.

Tang Bai smiled and said, "Huo Sinian probably thinks so too."
