Chapter 642 Jiang Ruan in the Video Call

"I need your help with something," Jiang Ruan said after considering for a moment.

Lin Bei: "Please speak."

"When Huo Zhizhou wakes up, please take some photos of his daily life for me." Jiang Ruan wanted to know the truth about him. "Photos and videos are both fine."

"How about I video call you?" Lin Bei tentatively suggested. "I'll put my phone in my chest pocket, and you can mute your microphone. Just hang up whenever you're done watching."

Jiang Ruan thought for a moment and then agreed: "Okay."

After receiving this reply.

Lin Bei mentally cheered!

"Just call me when you wake up. I'm free all day today," Jiang Ruan told him.

Lin Bei said "okay".

As the call ended, Lin Bei breathed a sigh of relief and began to imagine what would happen after he woke up that morning. The thought that the BOSS would be in Miss Jiang's sight for the next day filled him with indescribable excitement.

Time flies.

Several hours passed quickly.

After getting up and washing up, Huo Zhizhou would handle some work. Once he finished important tasks, he would sit in the yard to bask in the sun or think about things.

Seeing that he was sitting in the chair again, Lin Bei hid in the corner and quietly dialed Jiang Ruan's number: "Miss Jiang, can you hear me?"

Jiang Ruan: "Yes."

Lin Bei put his phone in his suit pocket on his chest: "Can you see it clearly like this?"

Jiang Ruan: "I can see it clearly."

Lin Bei: "Then please turn off your microphone. I'll go call the boss for dinner."

Jiang Ruan: "Okay."

After she finished speaking, Jiang Ruan fell silent.

This was the first time Lin Bei had done something wrong, and the thought of appearing in front of the BOSS like this made his heart race.

It's good that we don't get caught.

If he's discovered, he's definitely dead.

"What are you doing, sneaking around like that?" a voice suddenly rang out from behind.

Lin Bei: "!!!"

Lin Bei was startled.

Upon recognizing Jiang Yu, he patted his chest and exhaled a breath of stale air: "Are you a ghost? You walk without making a sound."

Assistant Jiang: "?"

Assistant Jiang kindly reminded him, "I called you."

Lin Bei: "Really?"

“Yes, but you didn’t reply to me,” Assistant Jiang said. “You just kept looking in the direction of the BOSS, like a paparazzi in the entertainment industry.”

"Who are you calling a paparazzi?" Lin Beixin couldn't help but feel nervous.

He hadn't expected Assistant Jiang to be so perceptive.

Assistant Jiang: "?"

Assistant Jiang stared at him.

Lin Bei felt extremely uncomfortable under their gaze, his heart pounding: "What are you looking at?"

“Something’s not right with you.” Assistant Jiang’s suspicious gaze fell on him.

“You’re the one who’s acting strange,” Lin Bei retorted as usual.

"What were you doing here just now?" Assistant Jiang's suspicions never subsided. After all, from his perspective, Lin Bei really looked like a suspect who was sneaking around.

Seeing that he was genuinely suspicious, Lin Bei decided to say, half-truthfully, "It's Miss Jiang."

A hint of doubt crossed Assistant Jiang's brow: "What's wrong, Miss Jiang?"

"She said the young master has been talking about the BOSS again these past few days, and asked me to take a picture of the BOSS for her when I have some free time." Lin Bei said it as if it were true.

Assistant Jiang blurted out, "Show me the photos, and I'll only post them if I say they're okay."

Lin Bei: "Why?"

"I need to make sure the BOSS in the photo is mentally sound and won't worry Miss Jiang and the young master." Assistant Jiang was unaware that Lin Bei was video chatting with Jiang Ruan.

"Okay." Lin Bei pretended to compromise. "Then take the picture and give it to me when you're done."

Jiang, Special Assistant: "Okay."

As they were talking.

The two then walked towards Huo Zhizhou.

Even though Huo Zhizhou hardly eats anything every day, Assistant Jiang still makes sure to prepare meals for him.

Just like now.

"Boss, breakfast is ready." He was very dutiful. "Should I bring it here or to the dining room?"

"No need." Huo Zhizhou's voice was hoarse, and he was in extremely poor spirits, wearing only his home clothes. "Let's leave."

Lin Bei: "You should eat something."

Huo Zhizhou pursed his lips and remained silent.

They showed absolutely no intention of paying any attention to us.

"If you don't want to eat it, I'll call Miss Jiang and ask her to persuade you to eat it," Lin Bei said boldly.

Huo Zhizhou immediately opened his eyes, looking at him with a hint of coldness in his gaze: "If you want to call her, you don't need to come tomorrow."

“I can’t just stand by and watch you ruin your health if I don’t come,” Lin Bei said. “The doctor said yesterday that your health condition is very bad, and if you don’t eat properly, all your bodily functions will have serious problems.”

"This is my business, you don't need to worry about it." Huo Zhizhou exuded a sense of detachment.

Lin Bei nudged Jiang Yu with his elbow.

He was signaling to speak up for him.

"Then I'll have someone remove it," Assistant Jiang said. "Let me know when you want to eat it, and I'll have someone prepare it."

Huo Zhizhou: "Okay."

Lin Bei: "?"

Assistant Jiang then left.

Lin Bei quickly chased after him: "Aren't you going to try to persuade me again?"

"It's no use trying to persuade him." After so many days, Assistant Jiang has seen it clearly. "Even if you persuade him to eat something right now, he will eventually vomit unless he really wants to eat it."

Prolonged vomiting is more harmful to the esophagus and stomach.

It's better to let nature take its course.

"We can't just stand by and watch him not eat anything," Lin Bei said, genuinely worried. "If he gets really sick from hunger, it'll be too late to regret it."

Jiang's Special Assistant: "Let's wait and see."

I'll tell Miss Jiang when the BOSS is really about to die.

In this way, even if the BOSS gets angry, it won't matter.

"Still waiting?" Lin Bei didn't know what else there was to wait for.

Assistant Jiang: "Hmm."

Lin Bei: "Wait here, I'll go find him."

After saying that, he walked towards Huo Zhizhou.

Seeing him turn back, Huo Zhizhou's emotions did not change much.

“BOSS.” Lin Bei stood in front of him, his phone pointed directly at Huo Zhizhou. “I have something to say.”

Huo Zhizhou: "Go ahead."

Lin Bei: "I think you're a coward!"

These words were spoken.

Jiang Ruan, on the other end of the phone, was worried for him.

She knew Huo Zhizhou's temper; he was bound to be upset by Lin Bei's words.

But the result exceeded her expectations.

Huo Zhizhou simply responded with a faint "Mm".

“You weren’t like this before.” Lin Bei tried to cheer him up. “You would work hard for what you wanted and go to great lengths to get what you liked. Why have you become so timid and hesitant now?”

Huo Zhizhou remained silent.

Huo Sinian also asked this question.

His answer back then is what he thinks now.

“If you want Miss Jiang, we’ll go back and pursue her,” Lin Bei said directly. “If she’s unwilling to remarry you, we’ll keep pursuing her until she is.”

Huo Zhizhou: "What if we push her too far?"

Lin Bei: "Then let's slow down a bit and be gentler."

Huo Zhizhou fell silent.

He knows himself too well.

As long as she gives him a chance, he will pester her 24/7.

"Don't mention those things again." Huo Zhizhou's voice was low and hoarse, his mood very somber. "If you can't stay here, go back to Jingzhou."

Lin Bei asked, "Why?"

Lin Bei: "Don't you like Miss Jiang?"

Lin Bei: "If you like her, go after her."

Huo Zhizhou: "Precisely because I like her, I don't want to cause her any trouble, and I don't want to bother her."
