Chapter 729 Be Careful of a Car Crashing

"Why do we need to get her back?" Huo Sinian asked unhurriedly, his eyes devoid of any extra emotion, his voice calm and gentle. "She'll come back when she's had her fill of fun."

Huo Zhizhou: "So confident."

Huo Sinian: "It's not confidence, it's that I understand her."

She couldn't do what Jiang Ruan did—take a desperate gamble—nor did she have the courage to completely break ties with him.

Lin Tan had far more concerns than Jiang Ruan.

Naturally, it also has more weaknesses.

"Be careful not to overturn," Huo Zhizhou warned him.

"You should worry about yourself first." Huo Sinian changed the subject, clearly not wanting to talk about this anymore. "That guy from the Li family is no pushover. If you want to make up with Jiang Ruan completely, he will definitely stop you."

Huo Zhizhou remained silent.

If Ruan Ruan admits it and his mother reconciles with him, he might have some reservations.

But now—

His progress is clearly faster than Chairman Li's.

His obstruction was pointless.

"Anything else?" Huo Zhizhou's thoughts shifted quickly.

Huo Sinian raised an eyebrow: "Didn't you call me here?"

Huo Zhizhou: "Then you can leave."

Huo Sinian scoffed, knowing his temperamental nature: "Is that polite?"

Huo Zhizhou: "You're polite even though you let someone stab me?"

Huo Sinian: "I did that for your own good."

Huo Zhizhou: "Who cares?"

Huo Sinian: "If you're so capable, then don't make up with Jiang Ruan."

Huo Zhizhou: "Jiang Yu."

Jiang Yu immediately appeared at the door: "BOSS."

"Show him out." Huo Zhizhou didn't want to stay with Huo Sinian any longer.

"I used to think Jiang Ruan was neither gentle nor obedient. What did you like about her?" Huo Sinian rarely spoke so rudely, his gaze naturally sweeping down to examine him. "Now it seems that your temperaments are a perfect match."

"But you and Lin Tan are not a good match at all." Huo Zhizhou knew exactly where to strike him for maximum pain.

Huo Sinian: "It doesn't matter."

Why would someone be worthy of that?

Just tie it to your side.

“She’s a better match for Qin Mo,” Huo Zhizhou added.

“You…” Huo Sinian raised his hand to push up his glasses, his eyes behind the lenses revealing other emotions, “How did I end up with such a foul-mouthed younger brother like you?”

Huo Zhizhou surprisingly didn't deny it.

"Let's go." Huo Sinian knew that he was in good spirits because he still had the energy to talk back. "Take it easy on yourself, don't be like you were half-dead before."

Huo Zhizhou did not speak.

Huo Sinian turned and walked outside.

As if considering the barely perceptible brotherly bond between the two, Huo Zhizhou still called out to him: "Huo Sinian."

Huo Sinian stopped and glanced sideways: "Who taught you to call your brother that?"

"If you like someone, treat them well." Based on their past conversations, Huo Zhizhou knew that he might be even more extreme than him. "Don't resort to authoritarian or restrictive tactics; that will only push the person you like further away."

"Take good care of your injury." Huo Sinian left without saying anything else, just leaving those words behind.

Treat it well?

These words simply don't exist in his dictionary.

I've survived this long unscathed entirely thanks to my own caution and keen observation skills.

There's only one lesson I've learned since I was little: if you like something, you have to go for it.

Otherwise you'll end up with nothing.

When he walked out of the hospital, Secretary Ye was already waiting outside. He opened the car door for him and greeted him, "Boss."

Huo Sinian: "Hmm."

Secretary Ye closed the car door and got in: "How is the Second Young Master recovering?"

Huo Sinian: "It's great. It can eat and drink, jump and leap, and even roast people."

Secretary Ye's tense heart eased slightly.

Judging from their tone, the two must have had some kind of argument.

"How is Lin Tan doing lately?" Huo Sinian asked suddenly as he leaned back in his car seat.

Perhaps it was Huo Zhizhou's words.

Or perhaps it's seeing him reconcile with Jiang Ruan.

At that moment, he suddenly missed that person a little.

"It's pretty much the same as before, going to work and coming home every day." Secretary Ye knew what her boss needed and was always paying attention. "There hasn't been much contact with the Qin family."

Huo Sinian's expression remained unchanged: "Hmm."

Secretary Ye: "However... there's something I'm not sure if I should report to you."

Huo Sinian: "You say it."

"Didn't you ask me to keep an eye on Miss Lin Tan's parents' situation?" Secretary Ye said proactively. "Yesterday, her father left the town and bought a plane ticket to Haicheng."

Huo Sinian frowned almost imperceptibly: "Do they have relatives in Haicheng?"

Secretary Ye: "According to my investigation, there is none."

Emotions surged in Huo Sinian's eyes.

The atmosphere inside the car was somewhat oppressive.

Secretary Ye tentatively asked, "Should we keep a close eye on his movements?"

"Keep an eye on him." Huo Sinian considered it carefully. "If he goes to see Lin Tan, let me know immediately."

Secretary Ye: "Okay."

Huo Sinian's eyes flickered.

He had solved countless problems for her in the past.

Without him this time, how will she handle it?

"Let's go to the airport." After much consideration, Huo Sinian made his decision. "Let's go back to China."

"You can't take a private jet at this time; you have to buy a ticket," Secretary Ye reminded her.

Huo Sinian: "Hmm."

Having received an affirmative reply, Secretary Ye drove the car toward the airport.

On the other side.

Jiang, the special assistant, reported this to Huo Zhizhou: "Boss, President Huo has gone to the airport."

Huo Zhizhou: "Now?"

Jiang's Special Assistant: "Yes."

After a brief silence, Huo Zhizhou said three words: "Understood."

Jiang's assistant stood there without moving.

Huo Zhizhou: "?"

Huo Zhizhou's dark eyes carried an inherent sense of pressure: "Is there anything else?"

"Lin Bei needs to speak with you," Assistant Jiang said calmly throughout. "He wanted to ask if you have some free time."

"Let him in." Huo Zhizhou was generally lenient with his own people.

Assistant Jiang went out to call for help.

Not long after.

Lin Bei walked in with difficulty, his eyes filled with obvious complex emotions and guilt.

Seeing his expression, Huo Zhizhou asked with a hint of doubt, "What is it?"

Lin Bei lowered his head: "I..."

Huo Zhizhou looked at him.

Under that gaze, Lin Bei felt his legs trembling.

He tried to speak, but his excessive nervousness caused all his words to get stuck in his throat.

Suppression.

Complex.

I feel terrible.

"Say what you need to say." Huo Zhizhou didn't look at him anymore, reached for his phone, and opened Jiang Ruan's chat window.

"sorry!"

Lin Bei bent over as he said this.

Huo Zhizhou: "?"

Huo Zhizhou was taken aback by his grand gesture.

"I didn't know my place before. After making a mistake that caused serious consequences, I was still joking and being inappropriate with you." Lin Bei blurted it all out. "This was a serious dereliction of duty on my part. Please punish me."

Huo Zhizhou: "Mm."

Lin Bei was starting to lose his composure.

Hmm?

So, is this a sign of anger or not?

"Then..." His face was full of conflicting emotions, and his heart was even more tense and complicated. "Can you not fire me? As long as you don't fire me, I'll accept any punishment you want."

"This will not happen again." Huo Zhizhou said simply.

Lin Bei: "???"

Lin Bei's eyes widened in surprise.

Unexpectedly, there wasn't even a simple reprimand.

"Go ahead and get busy." Huo Zhizhou was always lenient with his people, especially those who could recognize their mistakes and take the initiative to admit them. "Go back the day after tomorrow and work with Jiang Yu to get things done."

Lin Bei: "Okay..."

Huo Zhizhou looked away and started sending messages to Jiang Ruan.

Lin Bei's heart was still pounding: "You're not angry?"

Huo Zhizhou paused, then glanced at him sideways: "You want me to be angry?"

"No, no, no, no." Lin Bei quickly denied it, his whole demeanor brightening. "I'll get right to it! I'll go right now!"

He left as soon as he finished speaking.

They were afraid that Huo Zhizhou would keep them behind to discuss life after they left.

Huo Zhizhou had no time to pay attention to him and was focused on the message he had just sent.
