Chapter 470 Qin Mo Seeks Out Huo Sinian

A single sentence aroused Qin Muchuan's suspicion.

Seeing that Jiang Ruan's expression was as distant as before, he took two steps forward and struck up a conversation with Huo Zhizhou: "Have you regained your memory?"

If so, the plan will likely have to be put on hold.

If not, why would he tell Jiang Ruan these things?

"Who are you?" Huo Zhizhou's deep gaze fell on him, scrutinizing him.

"Qin Muchuan, my uncle," Jiang Ruan introduced, "is also the father of Qin Mo, the president of the Qin Group."

Huo Zhizhou glanced at him for a moment, then gave a faint "Hmm".

Qin Muchuan: "?"

Just one "hmm"?

"Is there anything else?" Jiang Ruan asked, noticing that he was standing there without moving.

Huo Zhizhou: "That's all."

Jiang Ruan glanced outside.

The meaning is obvious.

If you're gone, just leave; she doesn't welcome you.

"You continue with your work, I won't disturb you any longer." Huo Zhizhou understood what she meant, took out his phone and gestured, "Call me anytime if you need anything."

Jiang Ruan ignored her and went to her seat to continue what she had been doing that afternoon.

Huo Zhizhou didn't stay long; he turned and left after she got into her work.

In the entire room, only Qin Muchuan was still in a daze, watching Huo Zhizhou's figure walk further and further away, his mind filled with the words Qin Luofeng had said to him.

The more I thought about it, the more something seemed off.

Huo Zhizhou's behavior is nothing like Qin Luofeng's claim that he doesn't care about Jiang Ruan and only cares about child custody. He clearly cares about her a lot, even though he's being treated coldly, he still acts like he's in a great mood.

"Has Huo Zhizhou's memory been restored?" Qin Muchuan couldn't get an answer from the person involved, so he had to ask Jiang Ruan.

"I don't know," Jiang Ruan said honestly, taking another copy of the project proposal. "I didn't communicate with him as much as you did."

Qin Muchuan wanted to lash out.

But there's no reason to give.

He said a few words and then left the office.

The thought that I had gained nothing from this trip made me feel frustrated!

Just then, Qin Luofeng called to ask him how his conversation with Jiang Ruan went.

"What do you think?" Qin Muchuan was furious.

Qin Luofeng guessed the gist of the conversation from the tone: "The conversation didn't go well?"

Qin Muchuan was heavy-hearted.

It was more than just unpleasant.

He thought Jiang Ruan would still be as sharp-tongued and confrontational as before, a girl who couldn't stand up to him. But she turned out to be much more composed. When faced with Luo Feng's company poaching her people, she simply told Luo Feng to manage his people well.

She was completely different from the outspoken person she used to be.

In the long run, Jiang Ruan will definitely grow into another Qin An.

If it really comes to that, they will find it impossible to develop any further.

"Dad?" Qin Luofeng called out to him but didn't hear a voice.

"You said before that Huo Zhizhou treated Jiang Ruan like a stranger who wasn't very familiar with her?" Qin Muchuan changed the subject. Huo Zhizhou's situation was the most important thing right now. As long as he didn't get involved, he was confident that he could get rid of Jiang Ruan no matter how well she grew up.

"Yes," Qin Luofeng said. "What's wrong?"

Qin Muchuan: "I just saw him."

Qin Luofeng: "At the company?"

Qin Muchuan's expression turned serious: "Hmm."

A hint of doubt flashed in Qin Luofeng's eyes. He stood up and paced back and forth in the room: "How could he be there?"

The Huo family and the Qin family have no cooperation. Huo Zhizhou, who has lost his memory, is even less likely to have any connection with the Qin Group. Could he have gone there because of Jiang Ruan?

Just as he was thinking this, Qin Muchuan gave him the answer: "He came to see Jiang Ruan."

"Talk about custody?" That was the only thing Qin Luofeng could think of.

"I wish it were about custody." Qin Muchuan thought of the scene from earlier, his mind in turmoil.

He recounted the conversation between Huo Zhizhou and Jiang Ruan.

She also described Huo Zhizhou's expression and attitude.

After hearing everything, Qin Luofeng's brows were furrowed with doubt: "How could that be? He clearly said..."

Thinking of this.

Qin Luofeng suddenly realized something terrifying. He muttered to himself, "Could it be that he's been faking amnesia all along? Was our last meeting just a test or an act for Huo Sinian?"

"If that's the case, what is his purpose?" Qin Muchuan was skeptical. "Don't forget that Huo Sinian is currently in charge of the Huo Group."

Once management rights are handed over, it's difficult to get them back.

Although they were not from Jingzhou, they knew that Huo Sinian had coveted that position for a long time.

Huo Zhizhou isn't that stupid.

"I'll go ask again," Qin Luofeng said heavily. "I'll let you know when I have the results."

Qin Muchuan said "okay" and hung up the phone.

The call was disconnected.

Qin Luofeng's mind was in complete chaos.

For a moment, he considered abandoning his plan against Jiang Ruan. Even if they handed over the shares that originally belonged to his aunt, what they had was enough to make them live a stable and prosperous life.

Not to mention that there's also Qin Mo at home, who's about the same age as Huo Zhizhou.

But he knew very well that his father would not give up easily.

Amidst a jumble of thoughts.

He took out his phone and sent Huo Zhizhou a message: "[Do you have time to meet? There's something I'd like to talk to you about.]"

Huo Zhizhou had just gotten into his car when he received the message.

Looking at Qin Luofeng's message, he swiped it away with one hand.

Si Ning, who was sitting next to her, saw this scene but didn't ask any questions. She simply asked, "Are you sure you want to go back to Jingzhou?"

"Didn't you say that if I didn't go back, Jiang Yu and the others wouldn't be able to get it done?" Huo Zhizhou retorted.

Si Ning: "Yes."

Huo Zhizhou: "Then let's go back."

Out of consideration for their friendship, Si Ning reminded him, "They're in Huo Sinian's hands. If you want them back, you'll have to confront Huo Sinian."

Huo Sinian has always been suspicious.

If Huo Zhizhou wants Jiang Yu, he will definitely have all sorts of speculations.

"As expected, Huo Sinian already knows," Huo Zhizhou said.

Si Ning: "?"

Huo Zhizhou said unhurriedly, "Lu Yi is his man, isn't he?"

Si Ning was somewhat surprised: "You knew?"

Huo Zhizhou: "Jiang Ruan said it."

Si Ning: "You trust her that much?"

"I didn't believe it before we met." Huo Zhizhou's eyes were deep, his mind filled with the scene of his first meeting with Jiang Ruan in Haicheng. "After meeting her, I believed it without a doubt."

It's okay if you don't remember.

His heartbeat and feelings wouldn't lie to him.

He believed her.

I also want to know more about her.

"What do you plan to do?" Si Ning asked.

“Say a mix of truth and falsehood, and do things that will help him regain his memories.” Huo Zhizhou had a plan. “Even if he suspects something, he will only suspect it.”

Seeing that he had a plan, Si Ning didn't say anything more.

She knew that even with amnesia, Huo Zhizhou still had a brain.

They arrived in Jingzhou at 3 PM. After getting off the plane, they went straight to Huo Sinian's villa without going anywhere else. To go through the formalities, Huo Zhizhou even sent him a message: "[I'll be at your house in half an hour. I need to talk to you.]"

Huo Sinian saw the message twenty minutes later.

He was hosting Qin Mo at home, and only after he finished talking with Qin Mo did he see the message from Huo Zhizhou.

After reading the content, he simply replied with one word: "Okay."

After sending the message, she turned her gaze back to Qin Mo and said the closing words between them: "I will carefully consider your suggestion and give you an answer when I have a result."

Qin Mo's expression remained as indifferent as ever: "Fine."

“My brother will be back soon.” Huo Sinian, wearing silver-rimmed glasses, looked refined and scholarly. “Let’s have dinner together later.”

"No need for dinner, I have something to do later." Qin Mo refused decisively, glancing around before continuing, "However..."

Huo Sinian: "You say it."

Qin Mo: "Before I leave, there's one more person I want to see."

Huo Sinian clasped his hands together and said casually, "Who?"

"Lin Tan," Qin Mo said, enunciating each word clearly. His dark eyes, devoid of emotion due to their indifference, remained unreadable.
