Chapter 743 Lin Tan's Complexity

Chapter 743 Lin Tan's Complexity

Lin Jiancheng's heart skipped a beat when he was called out, and his eyes showed deep fear of Huo Sinian.

He still remembers the methods this person used last time.

"Mr. Huo... Mr. Huo." Lin Jiancheng's voice trembled, and he dared not meet Huo Sinian's eyes. "I didn't mean to cause trouble for Lin Tan. I just came to bring her some fruit."

"No need to explain to me." Huo Sinian said calmly, looking at Lin Tan. "Just tell your daughter, Lin Tan."

The characters are Lin Tan.

He deliberately bit harder.

Lin Jiancheng didn't notice the strange atmosphere in their words; he was only thinking about not wanting to have the same experience again. He looked at Lin Tan with pleading eyes, looking pitiful: "Girl, if you don't like me coming to see you, I won't come again. Can you ask President Huo to let me go first?"

"Is that girl no longer alive?" Lin Tan looked at him without any emotion.

In the past, seeing their gray hair would make her feel a little sad. Even though they hadn't treated her well, she still hoped they would have a better life because they had given birth to her.

So whenever she earned money from filming, she would send it home.

Even without emotional ties, one should at least repay the debt of gratitude for being born and raised.

But now—

Thinking about the "interview video" I just saw on the camera, I felt nothing but disappointment.

"That was a slip of the tongue." Lin Jiancheng didn't want to face Huo Sinian and just wanted to slip away as quickly as possible. "In our hearts, you will always be our good daughter."

Lin Tan didn't believe a word of it.

She just stared at him and asked, "Good girl?"

Lin Jiancheng nodded hurriedly: "Of course!"

"So you conspired with others to spread rumors about me?" Lin Tan's gaze didn't waver, her voice gentle yet firm. "Did I falsify my academic credentials? Did I lie and deceive?"

Lin Jiancheng attempted to explain.

But after thinking for a long time, I still couldn't come up with a suitable one.

"I don't think I've treated you badly all these years," Lin Tan said bluntly. "What benefits did they give you that made you say such insincere things to Mom?"

Lin Jiancheng remained silent.

If it weren't for Huo Sinian's presence, would he have let this brat yell at him like that?

"Wasn't she a good girl? Why is she no longer saying anything?" Lin Tan felt increasingly cold inside.

"You're being kept by President Huo, you don't know the value of money," Lin Jiancheng said after thinking for a while. "You don't have to worry about living expenses, but we're different, we need to make a living..."

"You took the money?" Lin Tan immediately guessed his unspoken meaning.

Lin Jiancheng caught a glimpse of Huo Sinian's undeniable aura out of the corner of his eye, but dared not utter a sound.

Lin Tan asked again, "How much?"

Lin Jiancheng: "Not many."

Lin Tan: "You want me to check your bank account?"

Lin Jiancheng felt extremely aggrieved, and a surge of anger rose in his chest.

She's just a brat who relies on men, how dare she talk to him like that!

Despite his thoughts, he still answered honestly, "One million."

Lin Tan frowned slightly: "One million?"

Where did those teenagers get so much money?

Stealing from home?

Or who gave it to you?

Upon hearing this, Huo Sinian took out his phone, tapped a few times, and sent the message to the bodyguards who were interrogating him.

"They said they only needed to do two interviews, and then they'd come back to me and give me this much." Lin Jiancheng blurted it all out at once, "I figured I might as well take it..."

"How did you know about this place?" Lin Tan asked.

Lin Jiancheng: "The address they gave me."

Lin Tan's brows furrowed almost imperceptibly.

Where did four seventeen or eighteen-year-old boys get such abilities? Judging from their accents, they didn't seem to be locals from Haicheng. Was this orchestrated behind the scenes? Or are their parents truly powerful?

"President Huo..." Lin Jiancheng didn't want to talk to Lin Tan at all. How could he, as a father, save face after being treated like this by her? "May I leave now?"

Huo Sinian glanced at Lin Tan and said, "Ask your good daughter."

A surge of anger welled up inside Lin Jiancheng, but he ultimately suppressed his rage and dissatisfaction and asked, "Can I leave now, daughter?"

"Go away." Lin Tan didn't want to see him for even a second.

Lin Jiancheng felt a great weight lifted off his shoulders.

All I could think about was getting out of there as soon as possible.

If he had known that this man was here, he would never have come here so hastily.

"Don't come here again." Lin Tan added this sentence as soon as he saw the bodyguard release him and he was about to leave, "Otherwise I will have the security guards kick you out as a suspicious person."

Lin Jiancheng scoffed lightly.

She's just a scumbag who's been played around with by men, and she's still acting all high and mighty with him.

What is that?!

"If you don't like me, I won't come." Despite his thoughts, he still put on an act in front of Huo Sinian. "Take care of yourself, I'm leaving now."

Lin Tan felt a deep sense of rejection.

"Wait a minute," Huo Sinian said.

Lin Tan looked at him.

Lin Jiancheng stopped in his tracks.

Huo Sinian walked towards Lin Jiancheng, his refined face full of gentleness: "Miss Lin Tan is really careless."

Lin Tan: "?"

Lin Tan frowned slightly.

I don't understand what he means.

"Knowing your address, interviewing your parents, and having your father bring you fruit to check on you," Huo Sinian listed off one by one. "Do you think such a scheme wouldn't have been recorded?"

Lin Tan paused.

He subconsciously looked at Lin Jiancheng.

"Will you hand it over yourself, or should I have someone search you?" Huo Sinian's voice was calm and unhurried, yet it carried a great deal of pressure.

Lin Jiancheng wanted to deny it.

But considering Huo Sinian's methods, they ultimately did not resist.

Anyway, I've already transferred 800,000 to my bank account, so this remaining 200,000... is better than getting beaten up by this guy's people.

Thinking of this.

He unbuttoned his coat and took out a tiny recording device from his inside pocket.

Lin Tan's hands felt slightly cold upon seeing it.

The plan was so meticulous.

How much do these four boys hate her?

This tiny recording device is clearly professional-grade.

Where did they get them from?

"Take him to the airport." Huo Sinian said, giving his bodyguard a wink. "Don't let him bother Miss Lin Tan here."

Bodyguard: "Okay."

Lin Jiancheng: "No need, I can go by myself."

Who knows if we'll teach him a lesson like last time?

Huo Sinian glanced at him.

Lin Jiancheng immediately chickened out.

He said with a heavy heart, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Mr. Huo."

"What happened today?" Huo Sinian looked at him and slowly pushed up his glasses.

"Don't worry, I don't know anything, and I haven't come looking for Lin Tan." Because of the trauma of being dealt with last time, Lin Jiancheng was very self-aware this time. "I came here with friends."

Huo Sinian did not speak again.

The bodyguards took the person away.

Not long after.

Only Lin Tan and Huo Sinian remained standing there.

Faced with this fickle, unpredictable, and difficult-to-understand man, Lin Tan had mixed feelings.

Because of what happened in the past, she was afraid that he would hate her too.

But he was the one who just helped her solve a major hidden danger.
