Chapter 428 Huo Sinian's Plan

Chapter 428 Huo Sinian's Plan

Time passed by, bit by bit.

More than ten seconds had passed since she finished speaking.

“I’m sorry for telling him all this without your permission,” Jiang Ruan continued, “but if you still have feelings for him, you can try to be bolder.”

When Lin Tan mentioned Qin Mo to her at Ruanyuan, her words were full of praise, saying that he was a very good friend in the past.

I subconsciously asked him how he was doing, and after listening, I sincerely said he was doing well.

These words were enough to prove that she had feelings for Qin Mo, but as an outsider, she was unsure whether Lin Tan's feelings were love or just friendship.

"I should be thanking you," Lin Tan's voice came, her mood much lowered. "There are some things I've been avoiding, things I don't want to face."

She still owes Qin Mo an apology.

An apology from my youth.

"Are you alright?" Jiang Ruan noticed her mood.

"I'm fine, I was just thinking about some things from the past." Lin Tan had already composed herself. "Besides what you just said, did you tell him anything else?"

Jiang Ruan truthfully replied, "No."

Lin Tanxin was on edge.

In other words, he came to find her without knowing about her special relationship with Huo Sinian.

That person has always been simple-minded; they probably don't know that they already...

“You are a victim, not a beneficiary.” Jiang Ruan seemed to know what she was thinking and reminded her, “Don’t think about what Huo Sinian said to you, and don’t impose any unfounded things on yourself.”

"Ruanruan," Lin Tan called her affectionately, a rare occurrence for him.

Jiang Ruan responded, "Hmm?"

Lin Tan's eyes softened: "You're really good."

Jiang Ruan said seriously, "You're very good too."

Despite being oppressed by Huo Sinian's power, Lin Tan still struggled to carve out a path for her career. Such resilience is like a small, ever-renewing blade of grass.

"I've remembered everything you said." Lin Tan gradually adjusted her mindset, not letting herself get too caught up in her emotions. "Thank you."

"Call me anytime if anything happens." Jiang Ruan hoped she was doing well.

Lin Tan hummed in agreement.

After much consideration, Jiang Ruan told her, "After this, you should be free."

Lin Tan paused.

Will it?

“Huo Sinian’s mind is entirely on Huo Zhizhou right now.” Although Jiang Ruan didn’t know the whole story, she could make a guess based on the information she had. “He probably doesn’t have time to target you. Once your sister’s matter is resolved, you’ll be free, right?”

"Maybe," Lin Tan said, unsure.

She could indeed feel much more at ease if her younger sister was no longer being monitored by Huo Sinian.

But Huo Sinian had photos, videos, and surveillance footage of her entering and leaving his home; ruining her career would be as easy as it for him.

Let alone the fact that she's just a third or fourth-tier celebrity now, even if she becomes a first-tier or super-first-tier star, being blacklisted and forced to retire from the entertainment industry after being involved in a sex scandal is a foregone conclusion.

After the call ended.

Lin Tan was somewhat uneasy.

She didn't know how she should face Qin Mo if he really came.

As she was thinking about these things, her assistant walked over. She simply deleted the call history with Jiang Ruan's work number and was about to pretend to read the script and think about things when Huo Sinian called her on her phone.

She stared at the note "H" flashing on the screen, her palms sweating.

Did Huo Simian tap his phone?

"Sister Lin Tan." Assistant Sisi walked over and reminded her when she noticed that Lin Tan hadn't answered the phone, "It's President Huo on the phone."

"I know," Lin Tan said, moving her phone to a different spot to answer.

She stood to the side, a little distance away from the crew, and only after confirming that no one was around did she slide the answer button, waiting nervously for the other party to speak.

"Busy?" Huo Sinian's voice was very gentle.

Lin Tan composed herself and made up an excuse: "I'm looking at the script. It'll be my turn to film in about twenty minutes, so I'm just reviewing it a bit more."

"There's something I need to tell you." Huo Sinian's voice was like the tone of a cello, mellow and gentle. "I've already called off the marriage with the Wen family. There's no marriage alliance now."

Lin Tan slightly raised her eyes.

Huo Sinian stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the scenery outside: "Haven't you always wanted a formal title?"

Lin Tan hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.

The title is just a pretext.

She knew Huo Sinian didn't like her bringing this up, so she deliberately said it to upset him, hoping to make him angry and drive her away so they would never have anything to do with each other again.

“On the day you give me a birthday present, I’ll give you one too,” Huo Sinian said.

Lin Tan knew what he meant by "gift," and she continued to play the innocent girl he liked: "I don't care about the gift, I just hope that this movie can be filmed smoothly so that I can get my paycheck and buy you a birthday present."

Huo Sinian didn't believe a single word.

But I still felt a moment of pleasure because of those words.

"How many more days until it finishes on your end?"

"About four days," Lin Tan told him truthfully.

"Okay." Huo Sinian didn't waste any more time, as Huo Zhizhou was waiting for him. "Tell me before you come back, and I'll come pick you up if I have time."

Lin Tan simply replied, "Okay."

Huo Sinian didn't say anything more and hung up the phone.

He knew that Lin Tan had always wanted to escape. Even though she had pretended to be very obedient and sensible during this time, the way she looked at him and her subconscious habits when she slept at night could not lie.

But none of that matters anymore.

Once he marries her, she will be his for life.

A little after 1 p.m., his secretary came to his study to report: "Boss, the first phase of hypnosis for the second young master has ended, and Mr. Shen wants you to go over there."

Huo Sinian nodded and went to the third floor.

Huo Zhizhou lay quietly on the bed in the room, breathing evenly and looking normal.

"Although the first stage of memory erasure had some twists and turns, the result was fortunately smooth." Old Shen's voice was gentle. "Once he is slightly awake, I will give him another injection, at which time the memory preparation can begin."

"It still won't affect your body or nerves?" Huo Sinian asked as usual.

Mr. Shen answered definitively, "No."

Huo Sinian hummed in agreement.

Old Shen then asked, "What kind of memory preparation do you want to do for him?"

"His loving parents, his bickering brother, and..." Huo Sinian blurted out the first two, but hesitated for the third, asking again, "Can the memory foundation only be an impression?"

Old Shen nodded: "Yes."

Huo Sinian's brows furrowed with hesitation.

The original plan was for him to confront Jiang Ruan and get back the conditions his father wanted, but now his father's weakness is in his hands, and whether or not to proceed according to the original plan is entirely up to him.

After careful consideration.

He took out his phone, found a photo, and handed it to Old Shen: "Establish the initial impression of this person as his first love, focusing on her appearance, hairstyle, and clothing."

"What's her name?" Old Shen asked.

A slight smile appeared on Huo Sinian's lips as he said, word by word, "Su Anran."

Without any hesitation, Old Shen agreed: "No problem."
