Chapter 608 Jiang Ruan's Phone Call

He immediately chimed in, "Yes, yes, Assistant Jiang makes a good point."

"Or you could observe Miss Jiang's reaction after obtaining the evidence. If she also wants to deal with Qin Muchuan, we can secretly assist her." Fearing that the previous reason wouldn't convince him, Assistant Jiang quickly came up with another idea: "I think they've probably guessed it."

Huo Zhizhou looked at the information above.

Even if they didn't know before, they guessed it after learning that Jiang An's actions were intentional.

Otherwise, how could they have bumped into each other by such a coincidence?

How could they know where they were?

"Let's give the evidence to Miss Jiang first," Assistant Jiang said. "She's probably waiting for it."

After much deliberation, Huo Zhizhou decided to release the evidence first.

Jiang Ruan accepted it quickly.

After reading the entire content on the computer, she felt the same lingering fear as Huo Zhizhou.

Through a series of unfortunate events, their mother helped them avoid the risks.

In this situation, no matter how capable the mother is, Qin Muchuan, hiding in the shadows, is still unable to defend himself.

She composed herself and sent Huo Zhizhou a few words: 【Thank you.】

Huo Zhizhou: [I'm glad you don't mind me bothering you.]

Looking at these words, Jiang Ruan's hand holding the mouse tightened slightly.

She also understood that Huo Zhizhou's excuse of going abroad on a business trip was probably because of what she had said before.

But why?

He had shamelessly gone with her to Si Ning's place before, so why did he suddenly change his mind so quickly? Did someone say something to him? Or did he suddenly have a change of heart?

Seeing that Jiang Ruan hadn't replied to his message for a long time, Huo Zhizhou realized he had acted impulsively.

He shouldn't have sent it to her.

Jiang Yu should be the one to issue the notice.

She didn't want to see him; she just wanted him to disappear from her world.

"What's wrong?" Assistant Jiang noticed that his boss's mood was not quite right.

Huo Zhizhou's eyes darkened slightly, and his voice sounded less energetic than before: "It's nothing. If there are any shortcomings or needs in the evidence later, you can communicate with Ruan Ruan."

Assistant Jiang: "?"

Assistant Jiang was puzzled, but he had grown hands.

Behind his boss's back, he sent Jiang Ruan a message, asking politely: "Ms. Jiang, may I ask what you and the boss were talking about just now? He seemed a bit off."

Jiang Ruan: "?"

Jiang Ruan: [I just said thank you.]

Assistant Jiang glanced at Huo Zhizhou's status and subtly sent a message: [Could I see your complete chat history with the BOSS?]

Jiang Ruan sent it to him.

After Huo Zhizhou sent her the document, she and he each sent only one sentence.

Assistant Jiang glanced at the time of their chat, then at the current time, and finally concluded: "The boss probably feels that sending you a message is bothering you."

Assistant Jiang: [He's probably blaming himself now for not letting me send you the documents.]

Assistant Jiang: [He just said that if there are any problems later, he asked me to communicate with you.]

Jiang Ruan was stunned for a moment when she saw the series of messages sent by Jiang Yu.

He didn't expect that just a short time without her replying would make him think so much.

After careful consideration.

She replied, "I'm so grateful, I wouldn't even consider it a bother."

I saw this message.

Huo Zhizhou's spirits visibly improved.

His fingers flew across the keyboard, and he quickly typed out a few words: Is it convenient to call? I'd like to ask for your opinion on something.

I was about to send it, but then I hesitated.

He was afraid that Jiang Ruan would think he was taking advantage of her, and that he might not even have the chance to send her a message later.

Lin Bei was extremely anxious watching from the side.

I don't know where I got the courage, but I quickly pressed the "send" button.

Press and leave.

Without stopping for even a moment!

Huo Zhizhou's heart tightened, and he looked at the instigator.

"I thought your fingers were stiff." Lin Bei pulled away from him, coughed lightly, and made an excuse, "So I just massaged them for you out of kindness."

Huo Zhizhou was still staring at him.

Lin Bei emphasized, "It's true! If I were to lie, my brother would be an idiot."

Lin Feng: "?"

Lin Feng grabbed him by the throat and said, "Who are you calling a fool?"

Lin Bei struggled but couldn't break free, so he could only mutter to him in a low voice, "For the sake of the BOSS's happiness, you have to make a sacrifice."

Lin Feng: "The BOSS doesn't like me, so what am I supposed to sacrifice?"

Even if he offered himself to the BOSS, he wouldn't accept it.

He can't give the boss happiness.

Lin Bei: "..."

Sometimes he really didn't understand why his brother was so slow-witted, even though they were twins.

Huo Zhizhou looked away from the message, placed his hand on it, and clicked "retract".

For a moment he thought, since he'd already sent it, why not wait and see how Ruan Ruan reacted?

But reason told him he couldn't do that, he couldn't play tricks on her anymore, he couldn't keep testing her limits. She might tolerate it at first, but once she reached her limit, she would rebel.

He may not be able to withstand the consequences of a backlash.

That's what I was thinking.

Huo Zhizhou's phone rang; it was Jiang Ruan calling.

Seeing that he hadn't answered the call, Lin Bei wanted to go up and answer it for him.

Fortunately, Huo Zhizhou didn't give him that chance this time, and answered after the phone rang five times: "Ruan Ruan".

His voice was still low and hoarse.

He seemed listless and lacked energy.

"I saw the message, why did you retract it?" Jiang Ruan asked.

"I was afraid of bothering you," Huo Zhizhou said, "and afraid of upsetting you."

Jiang Ruan fell into a brief silence.

Huo Zhizhou tightened his grip on his phone, wanting to say so many things he missed, but he held back after thinking of Gu Shixi's words.

He knows himself too well.

Once you let yourself express your longing, you'll do something even worse.

“It’s just normal chatting, it shouldn’t be that serious.” Jiang Ruan suppressed her urge to ask more questions and kept a proper distance from him. “Besides, you’ve done me a huge favor, I’m already grateful to you.”

She was bothered by the hurt he had caused her in the past.

I remember the beautiful times he shared with her.

She wanted to remarry him, but he coldly pushed her away.

But the fact remains that he helped her, and she can distinguish that.

Huo Zhizhou moved his lips, but ultimately couldn't bring himself to say those words.

"You mentioned in your message that you wanted to ask for my opinion on something. What is it?" Jiang Ruan asked.

"Do you want Qin Muchuan to suffer an even worse fate?" Huo Zhizhou asked. "He's been secretly monitoring you for so many years. If you hadn't missed out on those things, I'm afraid..."

He didn't say what he was going to say next, but Jiang Ruan knew.

She simply said, "Just follow the law. Charges like hiring someone to commit murder and surveillance are enough to put him in jail for many years."

Huo Zhizhou: "Okay."

Jiang Ruan: "Mm."

Silence fell between them again.

As time passed, both of them harbored complex emotions.

A few dozen seconds later, the two spoke at the same time.

Huo Zhizhou: "Then I'll hang up."

Jiang Ruan: "Did you take any medicine for your cold?"

Huo Zhizhou was taken aback.

Is Ruan Ruan concerned about him?

“The flu is no joke, you need to take good care of yourself,” Jiang Ruan said. “Take your medicine if you need it, and get an IV if you need it.”

Huo Zhizhou: "Okay."

Jiang Ruan asked, "How's your diet lately?"

She recalled the time after their divorce, when he vomited everything he ate, eventually ruining his health. She hoped this was just a simple cold and not another health problem.

“It’s perfectly normal,” Huo Zhizhou said.

“Miss Jiang, the BOSS is lying to you.” Lin Feng, being a simpleton, blurted out without hesitation, “He hasn’t eaten much these past few days… mmm…”
