Chapter 867 If things go wrong, we'll all die together.

"Qin Mo's?" Qin Jiangye asked knowingly.

"Hmm." Lin Tan appeared calm, but her hands under the table seemed uneasy.

"It's not clear yet." Qin Jiangye acted out the script given to him by Qin Mo, "But from the description, it seems to be quite serious. The car was hit by a big tree on the side, and the front of the car is dented."

Lin Tan's heart suddenly tightened.

My first thought was whether Huo Sinian was behind Qin Mo's car accident.

But he hadn't been in contact with Qin Mo these past few days, so Huo Sinian had no reason to do such a thing.

Two buzzing sounds.

Qin Jiangye's phone rang again.

Seeing that it was Qin Mo's secretary, Wen Zhi, calling, he answered naturally: "Hello."

As he spoke, he deliberately turned up the volume on his phone a little.

"President Qin's condition is a bit serious," Secretary Wen's voice came through. "If possible, he would like you to come to the hospital to discuss Lin Tan's arrangements with you."

"What do you mean?" Qin Jiangye played along.

"President Qin is dying," Secretary Wen said. "I'd like to make a deal with you: I'll have you promote Lin Tan."

Qin Jiangye glanced sideways.

Lin Tan seemed a bit out of sorts.

She heard what was just said, and so did Director Ning.

His gaze swept over Lin Tan, and he felt that she was not simple at all.

Huo Sinian and Qin Mo were both connected to her.

"Is it really hopeless?" Qin Jiangye asked.

"The doctor said the situation is very critical, and the success rate of the surgery is only 30%," Secretary Wen replied. "President Qin is afraid that he won't make it off the operating table, so he wanted to tell you in person."

"Okay, I'm coming right now," Qin Jiangye agreed readily.

As he walked out of the private room, Lin Tan's heart drifted away with him.

But knowing that Director Ning was still around, she could only suppress her worries for the time being.

Just as she was trying to bring the atmosphere back on track, Director Ning put down his chopsticks first: "Now that brat is gone, let's go too. Remember to come with your agent to sign the contract on Monday."

“Okay.” Lin Tan did not refuse. “Thank you, Director Ning.”

"No need to thank me." Director Ning stood up, his gaze falling on her. "You were the one I originally wanted for the second female lead."

Song Zhi's recommendation, coupled with Lin Tan's outstanding acting in the previous drama, meant he already had high hopes for her. However, according to his rules, even if he felt she was suitable, he should still follow the proper procedures.

But we can't wait any longer.

If Lin Tan is snatched away by Director Zhao, who knows how long he'll have to search for the second female lead.

"You won't blame me for getting rid of your leading lady, will you?" Director Ning asked.

"How could that be? It's an honor to act under your guidance," Lin Tan said. "You are my mentor; it's because of you that I got the chance to play the leading role."

Director Ning smiled.

He didn't say much.

He casually remarked, "Even without me, with your resources, getting the female lead would be a piece of cake."

Lin Tan paused.

I didn't expect him to talk about this.

She then left the private room with Director Ning.

After seeing Director Ning off in the car, she picked up her phone and made a call to Qin Jiangye.

As the beep sounded.

She felt extremely uneasy.

My mind was filled with the words Qin Jiangye had overheard on the phone.

"Lin Tan?" Qin Jiangye answered.

"Director Ning said he had other things to attend to and had to leave," Lin Tan reported. "Before he left, he asked me to sign the contract on Monday."

Qin Jiangye: "Mm."

Lin Tan's fingers curled slightly.

After a few seconds of silence, she finally asked the question: "Boss."

Qin Jiangye: "Hmm?"

Lin Tan: "Was Qin Mo's car accident an accident or was it intentional?"

"It's unclear at the moment, still under investigation." After saying that, Qin Jiangye seized on her words and asked, "Why do you suspect it was deliberate?"

Lin Tan's heart suddenly tightened.

She forgot that only Qin Mo's family knew about the car accident and that it was related to Huo Sinian.

The boss doesn't know.

"I..." Lin Tan hesitated, then quickly answered, "It's just a guess. With his high position, it's inevitable that some jealous people will resort to underhanded tactics."

"It's not that bad. If he really had it, he would have had it back when he was the president of the Qin Group." Qin Jiangye's tone was less relaxed than usual. "But if you really want to talk about jealousy, it's not that he's not jealous."

Lin Tan: "Who?"

"Huo Sinian," Qin Jiangye said casually, "Isn't he always trying to steal you from Qin Mo? They just met a couple of days ago, and they probably had some kind of conflict during that conversation."

If the previous doubts were only one-tenth.

So now it has grown to half.

But adhering to the principle of avoiding misunderstandings, she sent Huo Sinian a message: "Did you cause Qin Mo's car accident?"

Huo Sinian was having dinner and chatting with Huo Zhizhou when he received the message.

In the past, let alone sitting down to eat together, it would have been good if they hadn't been exchanging sharp glances.

But now, sitting together, they don't feel out of place at all.

"Is there something you need?" Huo Zhizhou asked casually.

"You dumped such a big company on me, how could I be okay?" Huo Sinian said this, but in his heart he was dissatisfied with Lin Tan's unwarranted questioning.

So much so that a single sentence was sent out: "What, feeling sorry for him?"

Upon seeing these words, Lin Tan felt a chill run down her spine.

She didn't send any more messages, and instead called him directly.

Huo Sinian didn't try to hide it and answered the phone in front of Huo Zhizhou: "Hello."

"Didn't you say that as long as I broke up with Qin Mo, I wouldn't hurt him anymore? So what are you doing now?" Lin Tan was filled with emotion and launched into a tirade against him.

"What do you think?" Huo Sinian said calmly.

Lin Tan frowned slightly.

I don't understand what he means.

"Don't forget whose fiancée you are." Huo Sinian said deliberately, "It's one thing to move out of my neighborhood, but now you're questioning me because of another man."

"Did you attack him because I moved out of your neighborhood?" Lin Tan asked.

Huo Sinian: "If you listen to me and don't hide, none of this will happen."

Lin Tan felt her hands and feet grow cold.

She knew Huo Sinian was ruthless, but she still had some doubts about this matter.

After all, he always kept his promises in the past.

But now he's acting like this just because I moved out of his neighborhood.

After not hearing her voice, Huo Sinian hung up the phone and continued chatting with Huo Zhizhou as if nothing had happened: "Are you really planning to live off Jiang Ruan for the rest of your life?"

Huo Zhizhou: "Envious?"

Huo Sinian pushed up his glasses: "What's so enviable about shameless behavior?"

"And you?" Huo Zhizhou glanced at his phone. "Did you really make a move against Qin Mo?"

"Whether she makes a move or not is not important." Huo Sinian toyed with the wine glass in front of him, as refined and elegant as ever. "What's important is that saying this will teach her a lesson."

Huo Zhizhou remained calm: "Aren't you afraid of things going wrong?"

Huo Sinian put down the cup: "If the car crashes, we'll all die together."

"Then she's really unlucky," Huo Zhizhou said unhurriedly, "to have a madman like you."

"I'm not as crazy as you." Huo Sinian had vivid memories of the past. "I don't know who stabbed themselves in the chest back then. Well, they did, but they didn't even catch up with the person."
