Chapter 405 Huo Sinian's Plan
"You mean Huo Zhizhou is at the Huo family's old house?" Jiang Ruan thought this was highly unlikely.
Not to mention that besides Huo Zhizhou's people, there are also Huo Sinian and Huo Cheng's people in the old house, the probability of him being discovered is almost 100% if he wants to live there with Huo Cheng, who is always making a scene.
Moreover, Huo Sinian's first instinct upon discovering that someone was missing was to search the old house.
“Of course not,” Tang Bai said, “but there’s an 80% chance it’s near the old house.”
Jiang Ruan thought about the surrounding buildings, but had no recollection of them at all.
She rarely went to the old house. Every time Huo Zhizhou took her there, he would leave with her in a very short time. He didn't like taking her there.
"To avoid being targeted by Huo Sinian's men, we need to split into two groups." Tang Bai said, looking at Mo Mo in the passenger seat. "Later, you drive this car around the vicinity of the Shan family's old house and the suburbs."
Mo Mo refused: "No, you can't protect the young lady by yourself."
Tang Bai drove around several corners in a row: "This is Jingzhou. This is a temporary operation. No one can find my and Miss's location and carry out the plan in such a short time."
Mo Mo was conflicted.
"Listen to Tang Bai," Jiang Ruan said.
“I’ll switch with him.” Mo Mo was still shaken by what happened last time. “He can drive around, and I’ll take you to see your ex-husband.”
"Do you know where he is?" Tang Bai asked the crucial question. "Do you know how to find him? If anything unexpected happens along the way, can you react in time and take appropriate action?"
Mo Mo: "..."
Although he was reluctant to admit it, Tang Bai was indeed more cunning than him.
"That's settled then." Tang Bai glanced at the rearview mirror and sped up. "When you're acting alone later, remember to drive fast and take them for a spin every now and then."
"You don't need to tell me," Mo Mo said.
Over the next ten minutes, Tang Bai sped up while also making sure to cross green lights and turn several corners.
When they arrived at a place with no surveillance cameras but a relatively wide road, he parked the car next to a black sedan: "Miss, get out of the car and get in the black sedan next to you."
Jiang Ruan didn't understand, but immediately did as instructed.
Less than thirty seconds.
Tang Bai started the black sedan, turned right, and left, while Mo Mo continued driving the same car he had been in towards the suburbs.
"Where did this car come from?" Jiang Ruan asked, as she hadn't seen them making phone calls to contacts while in the car.
"It was Mo Mo who made the contact," Tang Bai explained, "who had someone park here beforehand."
Jiang Ruan: "?"
Jiang Ruan tried to recall.
But since we told them we were going out, they haven't seemed to have discussed where the car is.
“We’ve done this kind of thing together too many times.” As if noticing Jiang Ruan’s confusion, Tang Bai took the initiative to explain, “I don’t need any words, I can understand his plans with just a glance.”
A knowing glint flashed in Jiang Ruan's eyes.
At the same time.
Huo Sinian made a phone call from his car on the way back: "How's the situation?"
"As you predicted, Jiang Ruan has left Ruanyuan," his subordinate reported. "They are now heading towards the southern suburbs, towards what seems to be the Shan family's old residence."
"Stay close." Huo Sinian's eyes behind his glasses were unreadable. "Report as soon as they find Huo Zhizhou's location."
Subordinate: "Yes."
Huo Sinian was about to hang up the phone.
The person on the other end of the line recalled how they had almost lost track of Jiang Ruan several times, and after much consideration, said, "Jiang Ruan's driver is very skilled. I don't know if he has noticed me."
"It's alright." Huo Sinian wasn't worried at all. "There are other people along the way, you just need to keep an eye on this part of the road."
"Okay." The person hung up and continued chasing after Mo Mo's car.
Mo Mo's driving skills are not as good as Tang Bai's, but he can still easily outperform ordinary drivers.
After noticing that someone was following him, he sped up. Although he was just walking his dog, he didn't want to be followed all the time.
After Huo Sinian hung up the phone, his secretary asked with some concern, "Can Jiang Ruan find where Second Young Master Huo is?"
"Whether I can find her or not is not important." Huo Sinian himself didn't have an answer. "What's important is letting my good younger brother know that Jiang Ruan is looking for him everywhere, and that I, as her older brother, am following her."
The secretary pursed her lips but ultimately remained silent.
I always felt that the boss's plan was too risky.
If the second young master is even more powerful than they imagine, the consequences will be dire.
"How is Lin Tan doing lately?" Huo Sinian asked.
"Everything is as usual," the secretary reported dutifully. "Every day is just the normal routine of waiting for filming and shooting scenes."
Huo Sinian hummed in response and said nothing more, his gaze passing through the car window as he looked out, his mind filled with all the plans for this incident.
He can save his father.
Zhizhou will also fall into his hands.
As for Jiang Ruan, without Huo Zhizhou as her backer, she could no longer gossip in front of Lin Tan.
Jiang Ruan was heading towards the Huo family with Tang Bai at this moment, and looking at the familiar road outside the window, she couldn't help but feel a little worried.
"Miss," Tang Bai seemed much more relaxed than her, "Can you get through to my ex-husband's and Assistant Jiang's phones?"
Jiang Ruan replied, "Yes."
Tang Bai said in a relaxed tone, "Then why don't you ask your friend at home to help you check the location?"
Jiang Ruan: "!!!"
Jiang Ruan slapped her forehead.
How could I have forgotten about that?
She immediately took out her phone and called Si Ning. After Si Ning answered, she explained the situation to her and then stated her request at the end: "Could you please help me check their location?"
"We can't investigate," Si Ning said bluntly.
Jiang Ruan paused, "How could that be?"
“I wrote an anti-tracking system for him.” Si Ning lay in the yard, basking in the sun, relaxed and content. “No matter who investigates or what methods they use, they can only find his virtual location, not his real location.”
Jiang remained silent.
Si Ning added, "Since he left with Huo Cheng, the person who left with him must have had it installed on their phone as well."
Jiang Ruan was a little curious: "You can't crack it?"
"It can't be cracked within half a month." Si Ning put his hands behind his head. "That system represents the pinnacle of my current technology. Even my master can't solve it."
The call ended.
Jiang Ruan told Tang Bai about it.
Tang Bai drove steadily without much reaction.
"Where do we go now?" Jiang Ruan wasn't very familiar with the situation at the old house; she wouldn't have thought of it if Tang Bai hadn't mentioned it.
"Do you mind if your ex-husband's location is checked by others?" Tang Bai asked, his voice tinged with a hint of excitement.
Excited?
Jiang Ruan realized she was mistaken: "Who?"
Tang Bai didn't hide it; it wasn't a secret: "My captain."
Jiang Ruan hesitated for a moment.
"Don't worry, we'll only check the location and not deal with this matter." Tang Bai noticed her concerns through the rearview mirror and said frankly, "It won't cause trouble for my ex-husband."
"Okay," Jiang Ruan agreed.
Tang Baikong sent a message to his captain: "Someone I know wrote an anti-tracking system that no one has been able to crack so far. Do you want to give it a try?"
