Chapter 421 Huo Si Nian Arrives
Assistant Jiang pursed his lips, and after a moment said, "Okay."
He composed himself and walked outside to begin planning step two.
Lin Bei followed beside him, and only after seeing the distance between him and Huo Zhizhou widen did he hurriedly say to him, "Aren't you going to try to persuade him again? You should know that once Plan Two is launched, there will really be no turning back for the BOSS."
“I know.” Assistant Jiang continued walking out.
"Shall we try to persuade him again?" Lin Bei suggested.
“It’s no use.” Jiang Yu understood Huo Zhizhou; he understood everything from those few sentences. “You know what kind of personality the BOSS has. At times like this, no one’s words will have any effect on him.”
"Where is Miss Jiang?" Lin Bei suddenly remembered what happened yesterday. "No, even though Miss Jiang came in person, it didn't make any difference."
Assistant Jiang felt slightly heavy-hearted.
Otherwise.
Why didn't he say another word?
If even Miss Jiang couldn't make a difference, their words would be even less effective.
"Shouldn't we think of a solution?" Lin Bei said. "Even if we don't say that the BOSS is just being stubborn for a moment, we can't just watch him go astray, considering how good he's been to us."
"I have an idea," Assistant Jiang said after glancing around to make sure no one else was listening. "However, it's quite risky."
Lin Bei pressed further, "What method?"
Jiang, the special assistant, fell silent.
Lin Bei was very anxious: "Just tell me!"
"At the crucial moment of Plan Two, pretend to receive a call from Miss Si Ning and tell the BOSS that Miss Jiang has had an accident and is in the intensive care unit," Assistant Jiang said. "Given how much the BOSS cares about Miss Jiang, he will definitely lose his mind and rush to Haicheng."
"I think it'll work," Lin Bei affirmed.
“This method can only stop the BOSS temporarily, not forever.” This is the point that Assistant Jiang was considering. “Once he goes to Haicheng and finds out it’s fake, he will no longer trust us.”
Lin Bei replied readily, "It's nothing."
Assistant Jiang frowned.
Lin Bei was very open-minded: "I believe in the BOSS. With his wisdom, he will definitely figure it out."
Will it?
Jiang Yu was not sure.
Even Miss Jiang couldn't influence his decision; if he discovered it was a lie, the consequences would be unimaginable.
After all, when the BOSS goes crazy, he's capable of stabbing himself in the back.
At the same time, in the monitoring room on the second floor of the villa, Huo Zhizhou heard the entire conversation between the two. He sat in a chair, looking at the monitoring screen with a calm and unwavering gaze, revealing no emotion.
"BOSS." Lin Feng, standing beside him, spoke hesitantly.
Huo Zhizhou: "Mm."
Seeing that the two people on the monitor were still talking, Lin Feng subconsciously said, "Assistant Jiang and my brother didn't mean to betray you."
Huo Zhizhou: "I know."
Lin Feng pressed on, asking, "Then you won't kick them out, will you?"
Huo Zhizhou: "No."
Lin Feng immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
That way, his brother and Jiang's assistant shouldn't blame him for secretly installing surveillance cameras behind their backs.
Huo Zhizhou turned his gaze to him. Compared to Lin Bei, who had changed a lot, Lin Feng had always been very honest and could complete any task assigned to him very well.
"I have something for you to do," Huo Zhizhou made a decision.
Lin Feng: "Please speak."
Huo Zhizhou took an envelope out of his pocket and handed it to him.
He knew that Jiang Yu and Lin Bei didn't want him to take Shan Mu'an's matter too seriously, but it was a knot in his heart for life, and a source of guilt and self-blame for him.
Five minutes later.
Huo Zhizhou left the monitoring room and went to the temporary study. He had just put the documents away and was about to go to sleep when Lin Feng rushed in, his voice serious and earnest: "BOSS, something has happened."
Huo Zhizhou looked up.
Lin Feng reported: "Young Master Huo has arrived."
Before the words had even finished, Huo Sinian appeared in the study, wearing a dark, custom-made suit and silver-rimmed glasses. He took a few steps inside with a gentle smile on his face: "Long time no see, little brother."
Huo Zhizhou put the documents aside.
He just stared at him through the air.
Huo Sinian waved his hand.
The people behind immediately came up and took control of Lin Feng.
“If it really comes down to a fight, you’re no match for him.” Huo Zhizhou spoke up to stop them, his dark eyes falling on Lin Feng. “You leave with them and don’t get involved in this anymore.”
Lin Feng didn't hesitate: "Yes."
Huo Sinian: "?"
The rest of the group: "?"
Huo Zhizhou sat down in the chair, still exuding that noble and indifferent air: "What are you doing here in the middle of the night?"
"Aren't you curious why I found this place?" Huo Sinian's scrutinizing gaze fell on him. He had imagined countless expressions on Huo Zhizhou's face when he saw him, but he never expected him to be so nonchalant.
The father hasn't gotten any results from pressing him for answers yet.
Isn't he in a hurry?
"I advise you not to get involved in what's happening here." Huo Zhizhou's dark eyes were devoid of emotion. "The consequences are beyond your ability to bear."
Huo Sinian pushed up his glasses: "You've got that backwards. I have evidence that you imprisoned and abused your father. If you don't want to face the gossip, then lower your stance a bit."
"Is that so?" Huo Zhizhou said lightly.
This was the first time Huo Zhizhou had confronted him so directly: "Yes."
Huo Zhizhou met his gaze and said unhurriedly, "Do you believe I can win a lawsuit against you for implanting a location and listening chip into Huo Cheng's skin, even if he consented to it?"
Huo Sinian's gaze sharpened.
He scrutinized her with his gaze without any attempt to hide it.
How did you know?
Only he, his father, and the doctor knew about this; even his secretary was unaware of it.
"It seems you really want the position of head of the Huo Group." Huo Zhizhou didn't answer, but looked at him and said word by word, "Otherwise, given your cautious nature, you should have come tomorrow at the earliest."
Before Huo Silai arrived, he was still thinking about where he might have missed something.
But the fact that he arrived so quickly means that he is the only one who knows the real-time situation here. There are no devices in Huo Cheng's room, and his phone cannot be hacked. Putting all that aside, the only thing left is the implanted chip in his skin.
“You are indeed smart.” Huo Sinian adjusted his glasses. “But no amount of intelligence can withstand absolute strength.”
Huo Zhizhou looked behind him.
There were two rows of well-trained bodyguards standing in neat rows.
“All those people outside are under my control,” Huo Sinian said calmly, his thin lips barely moving. “You have nowhere to go now.”
Huo Zhizhou: "Mm."
Huo Sinian frowned slightly.
I don't quite understand where his composure and calmness come from.
In this situation, there can't be any backup plans.
“You’re in my hands now,” he reminded him.
"And then?" Huo Zhizhou's expression remained calm throughout, his dark eyes as unfathomable as the night. "Call the police to arrest me? What's the charge? To torture me into handing over my shares? Do you dare?"
Huo Sinian's gaze was deep.
He walked towards him step by step, and the bodyguards behind him automatically formed a circle around Huo Zhizhou.
Looking at the group of tall and imposing people, Huo Zhizhou remained calm and met Huo Sinian's gaze with indifference.
“My lawyers are indeed not as eloquent as yours.” Huo Sinian’s face was gentle, and his tone made him seem like an older brother. “But I can still teach you a lesson.”
The words had barely left his mouth.
Huo Zhizhou's bodyguard swiftly delivered a chop to his neck.
"Bang!"
