Chapter 478 The Cunning Huo Zhizhou

Chapter 478 The Cunning Huo Zhizhou

"I'll grant your wish." Huo Sinian stood up and instructed the bodyguards outside, "Keep a close eye on her. From today onwards, she is not allowed to step out of the room even once."

Bodyguard: "Yes, sir!"

Huo Sinian looked down at her, his eyes behind his glasses no longer gentle as before: "I look forward to the dead end you choose."

After saying that, he left the living room without looking back.

It was as if nothing that had just happened could affect him.

A moment later.

The bodyguards locked Lin Tan in the master bedroom upstairs and brought in a few things on a plate: "Miss Lin, this is for you from the boss."

Lin Tan looked over.

Knife, medicine, rope...

"He said if you don't like these things, you can make a request," the bodyguard dutifully relayed. "We'll send them over to you as soon as possible."

At that moment, Lin Tan felt a chill run through her body.

She realized that Huo Sinian was even crazier than she had imagined.

Huo Sinian is a madman, but his gentle and refined appearance and strong self-control make him seem normal.

Just like now.

Despite being on edge, he showed no sign of it, simply uttering two calm words: "Drive."

"Aren't you afraid that Miss Lin might do something foolish when you send her those things?" the secretary next to her suddenly asked in a low voice, showing a rare hint of concern.

Huo Sinian's eyes behind his glasses were unfathomable: "She won't."

Death is an easy thing to talk about.

It's really not easy to do.

Not to mention, without his pressure at this moment, she wouldn't even dare to pick up a knife.

The secretary moved her lips, but ultimately said nothing.

"Keep a close eye on Zhizhou these next few days." Huo Sinian kept his composure and made the arrangements calmly. "Report any unusual situations immediately."

Secretary: "Understood."

Huo Sinian leaned back in his car seat, closed his eyes, and began to rest, but the words Lin Tan had just said kept replaying in his mind.

He began to realize that Huo Zhizhou's way of getting along with Jiang Ruan was not suitable for him.

He also understood that he could only prioritize his own interests.

How could I have been so stupid as to want to marry her?

"Should we go back over there and rest first?" The secretary noticed the tired look on his face.

"No need," Huo Sinian said calmly. "Go directly to the company."

There are still some things that need to be dealt with.

He had to be wary that his younger brother might seize power one day.

"Also..." Huo Sinian spoke up, thinking about Lin Tan's expression when she said those words, "Tell the people at Lujing Garden to be careful, and if Lin Tan does anything stupid, provide emergency care immediately."

The secretary hesitated, then said, "Boss."

Huo Sinian: "Hmm."

Secretary: "Since you still care, why..."

"Who told you I care?" Huo Sinian interrupted him unhurriedly, his porcelain-white face expressionless. "The emergency treatment was just to let her experience the despair of being on the verge of death, so that she would never dare to have such thoughts again."

The secretary ultimately said nothing more.

The boss's decisions are never something he should interfere with.

While things seemed calm and peaceful on one side, Lin Tan was preoccupied with worries on the other.

That phrase, "dead end," was just her way of letting Huo Sinian understand her determination not to be manipulated by him anymore, and letting him know that if he really forced her, she was truly willing to die.

But now.

The empty room, devoid of his presence, meant that the pressure she felt was not enough to drive her to suicide.

Not to mention, deep down there was a voice telling her that she should live well, live until she saw Huo Sinian receive the retribution he deserved.

She looked around.

His gaze fell on the window, and just as he was wondering if he could jump down, he saw the bodyguards standing outside.

At that moment, she knew she was really going to be trapped here. Her phone had been confiscated, and she was surrounded by bodyguards. She would have to find another way to get out.

At the same time.

On Qin Mo's side.

After leaving Huo Sinian, he called Huo Zhizhou.

But Huo Zhizhou's phone number was changed by Huo Sinian after he lost his memory, so his calls were destined to be unanswerable.

No.

After much consideration, I contacted Jiang Ruan.

When she received his call, Jiang Ruan was still reviewing project proposals at the Qin Group. Qin Mo's slightly deep voice rang in her ears: "Do you know Huo Zhizhou's phone number?"

Jiang Ruan paused, then said, "I know."

"Could you please send me one?" Qin Mo said, enunciating each word clearly. "I can't get through to him on the phone before."

"Okay." Jiang Ruan copied, pasted, and sent the message. Only after doing all this did she ask, "Did something happen?"

Qin Mo's tone was not quite normal.

This is different from the calm and aloof President Qin of the past.

"Huo Sinian has hidden Lin Tan away." Qin Mo didn't hide it, since Jiang Ruan already knew about his relationship with Lin Tan. "I'm not familiar with Jingzhou, so I need someone to help me."

Jiang Ruan wanted to ask something more, but Qin Mo hung up the phone.

He needs to go faster.

Find Lin Tan as soon as possible.

With the number provided by Jiang Ruan, Qin Mo quickly contacted Huo Zhizhou, and the two arranged to meet in a hotel suite.

When Qin Mo arrived, Huo Zhizhou was in the living room reviewing the information provided by Jiang Yu.

He wasted no time and directly asked Huo Zhizhou to help him find Lin Tan, saying the terms were negotiable.

"Lin Tan?" Huo Zhizhou repeated the two words.

Jiang Yu leaned down and lowered his voice to tell him about Huo Sinian's relationship with Lin Tan.

Listen to the whole thing.

A hint of confusion flashed across Huo Zhizhou's eyes.

Does his older brother have some kind of psychological problem?

"As long as you help me find her and rescue her from Huo Sinian, you name your price." Qin Mo was decisive and efficient; otherwise, he wouldn't have been in such a hurry.

Huo Zhizhou retorted, "Why should I help you?"

Qin Mo looked up.

Huo Zhizhou exuded composure: "Don't forget, Huo Sinian is my brother."

"He's your brother." Qin Mo took out his phone, tapped it a couple of times, and handed the screen to him, his expression calm. "But you're the one who told me about Lin Tan's relationship with him."

Lin Feng glanced at it: "BOSS, this is your account."

Lin Bei asked curiously, "At this hour? Weren't you arrested by your brother?"

Jiang Yu calmly replied, "Send it at a set time."

Huo Zhizhou: "..."

Huo Zhizhou's gaze fell on the three men who were so eager to sell him out, his eyes filled with a deep meaning.

“You sent this to me because you want to use me to cause trouble for Huo Sinian,” Qin Mo negotiated with him. “But if Lin Tan can’t be found, this trouble will be as if it doesn’t exist.”

Huo Zhizhou: "Perhaps."

Qin Mo: "?"

“I don’t know what you thought before,” Huo Zhizhou said unhurriedly. “Now I only know that you are a member of the Qin family and are in competition with Jiang Ruan.”

"Not really," Qin Mo said honestly.

Huo Zhizhou: "Really?"

Qin Mo remained unfazed: "If you don't believe me, you can call her and ask."

"Okay." Huo Zhizhou said decisively, and the next second he took out his phone, opened Jiang Ruan's contact information, and called her in front of everyone.

Jiang Yu: "?"

Lin Bei: "?"

The two of them just watched this scene unfold.

The same thought popped into everyone's head: Why does it feel like the BOSS went through all that trouble just to wait for this sentence?
