Chapter 450 I dare to shout, do you dare to answer?

Looking at the person standing outside her door, Si Ning sized him up and down, and in a casual tone, deliberately pretended not to know him: "Who are you?"

"Your acting is terrible." Huo Zhizhou strode past her and sat down in her living room as if they were old friends. "You really don't recognize me. When you saw me, your eyes should have looked at you with unfamiliarity, not with a sizing up of me."

Si Ning withdrew her gaze from him and closed the door.

She stopped pretending: "What are you doing here?"

Huo Zhizhou: "I need your help."

"The person who gave you my address must have told you that I don't really like you." Si Ning didn't mince words at all, and didn't treat him as someone with amnesia at all.

Huo Zhizhou answered frankly, "Yes."

Si Ning: "Then why did you come looking for me?"

Huo Zhizhou: "Jiang Ruan said you are someone I can trust."

Si Ning glanced at him again.

It's not amnesia?

According to Gu Shixi, after being fed information by Huo Cheng and others, he should have thought that Jiang Ruan married him for money, so how could he believe her words?

"Have you seen Jiang Ruan?"

"Yes." Huo Zhizhou said frankly, "I went to her house for a meal yesterday and took the opportunity to probe about our past relationship and some details."

Si Ning asked, "What did you find out?"

“My relationship with her used to be pretty good, but we divorced for some reason because of Su Anran,” Huo Zhizhou said. “Now she seems to reject me on the surface, but deep down she thinks I’m alright.”

Si Ning: "?"

Seeing that what he said was pretty much true, Si Ning deliberately said something misleading: "Narcissism is a disease, and it needs to be cured."

"It seems you two aren't very close," Huo Zhizhou concluded again. "You're my friend, not hers."

Si Ning: "..."

“If you were Jiang Ruan’s good friend, you would have called me shameless and a scumbag when I said those things.” It has to be said that Huo Zhizhou’s brain is really sharp, “instead of simply refuting and trying to trip me up.”

"Looks like the amnesia didn't affect his IQ." Si Ning was too lazy to pretend with him anymore.

Huo Zhizhou: "Can we have a proper talk now?"

Si Ning: "You're still wrong about something."

Huo Zhizhou: "What?"

“Jiang Ruan doesn’t like you now.” Si Ning didn’t know how he could have gotten so much out of her over a meal. “You’ve let her down twice and hurt her deeply. No matter who she likes, she can’t possibly like you.”

Yeah?

Huo Zhizhou asked himself.

He came to the conclusion almost instantly: "This is the difference between ordinary friends and best friends."

Si Ning stared at him.

“If she didn’t like me at all, she wouldn’t give me any chance to get close.” Huo Zhizhou’s mind had been racing ever since he entered Jiang Ruan’s house, not missing a single detail of their interaction, “and she certainly wouldn’t let me touch a single hair on her head.”

When they first met, she was cold and distant towards him, treating him like a stranger.

Goodbye. He took Sui Sui away without permission and brought up the issue of custody, which angered her. She said he confronted him.

The anger level was very high throughout, but there was no sign of disgust.

In addition, after he deliberately said those things upstairs, he rubbed her head...

For a moment she didn't resist, only felt dazed, as if she had remembered something, but after a short while she started to get angry, or rather, it would be more appropriate to say that she became angry out of embarrassment.

All signs indicate that their past was wonderful, but after the divorce, she became a proud and arrogant hedgehog, instinctively raising a wall whenever he gets close.

"You went to act like a hooligan?" Si Ning's gaze towards him changed.

Huo Zhizhou: "Am I that kind of person?"

Si Ning didn't want to talk to him anymore.

Every sentence is a trap.

He could find clues in every sentence.

“You don’t need to test me.” Si Ning poured herself a glass of water and leaned back on the sofa. “Don’t even think about getting a single thing out of me. As an adult, you have to learn to take responsibility for your actions.”

Huo Zhizhou looked at her.

My brain processed that sentence very quickly.

Jiang Ruan said that Si Ning was trustworthy, so the only reason she wouldn't help him was because he had brought this upon himself.

"So my amnesia wasn't caused by getting into an argument and injuring my head," Huo Zhizhou asked her.

According to Huo Sinian, the incident stemmed from an argument he had with someone.

The argument was quite ordinary and couldn't possibly be because Si Ning was unwilling to help him.

Therefore, one of them must be lying.

If Jiang Ruan said that Si Ning could believe it, then it could only be that Huo Sinian was lying to him.

Si Ning: "..."

Si Ning pinched the bridge of her nose.

Everyone says that Huo Zhizhou is ruthless, cunning, and has a flawless plan.

She used to think he was smart and resourceful, but today she realized that some people can still be quite sharp even if their memories are reset countless times.

So much information was gleaned from just a few words and a meal at Jiang Ruan's house.

I don't even know how to describe it.

"Did you come to me because Jiang Ruan said I was trustworthy, or because I'm your friend?" Si Ning asked.

This question will determine whether she helps him or not.

Huo Zhizhou: "Jiang Ruan."

He didn't hesitate at all.

Her intuition told her that the only person she could trust was Jiang Ruan.

A rapidly beating heart doesn't lie, and neither do bodily instincts.

Si Ning: "What do you want me to help you with?"

Huo Zhizhou: "My past."

Si Ning put down the cup: "Why didn't you ask Jiang Ruan and Gu Shixi?"

“Jiang Ruan won’t tell me.” Huo Zhizhou had a clear understanding of himself. “As for Gu Shixi, he’s too noisy and can’t get to the point.”

Si Ning took out her phone and tapped it: "I recorded it."

Huo Zhizhou: "It's true."

Si Ning sent it to Gu Shixi.

If she says it's a real recording, then it can't be fake.

Within three seconds, Gu Shixi made a video call, his voice filled with anger and gritted teeth: "Get Huo Er over here, I'll smash his head in!"

"Here." Si Ning handed over the phone. "It's for you."

Huo Zhizhou remained calm and composed, his dark eyes showing utter tranquility when he saw the person in the video. This made Gu Shixi, who was furious in the video, somewhat at a loss for words.

In the end, he had no choice but to take a different path.

"Si Ning, don't tell him," Gu Shixi said. "Let him wander around like a headless fly."

Si Ning looked at Huo Zhizhou.

Do you want this person to look like a headless fly...?

It's probably harder than climbing to heaven.

As it turns out, even without anyone telling him the details, Huo Zhizhou was still able to discover many things through his own observation skills.

For example, during that meal at Jiang Ruan's house, aside from what I've mentioned before, he noticed the guilt in Old Mr. Qin's eyes towards Jiang An, Li Zhishen's attempts to please Jiang An, and the fact that Jiang Ruan had never called him "Dad."

And the way he called Huo Cheng "Dad" when he answered the phone, Jiang Ruan's surprised look.

Too many to list...

“If you really want to know what happened in the past, just call out to Brother Gu.” Gu Shixi was uneasy about Huo Zhizhou’s silence, and said, word by word, “I’ll consider telling you everything that happened in the past.”

Huo Zhizhou raised his eyelids and repeated his words: "Brother Gu?"

Gu Shixi: "Yes."

He wants to record it!

Used as evidence.

"If I dare to call out, do you dare to answer?" Huo Zhizhou spoke slowly and deliberately, his nonchalant and calm demeanor utterly captivating.
