Chapter 905 Huo Sinian, a man of deep thoughts

"I have a question," Gu Yang, in the driver's seat, said.

Huo Sinian: "Speak."

"How do you know so much?" Gu Yang asked, curiously observing Xie Changyuan's expression. "Judging from Xie Changyuan's appearance, not many people probably know about what happened back then."

"The boss told me to investigate by following the people around Xie Chang'an and Madam Jun, and after checking all their friends, enemies, and relatives, the only family that fit the criteria at the time was Xie Changyuan's family," Secretary Ye replied.

Gu Yang: "And then?"

So many years have passed, it's impossible that they've actually found any evidence.

If it were true, the Xie family would have found out.

"The boss made a guess based on the available information." Seeing that Huo Sinian did not stop him, Secretary Ye continued, "What he just said in front of Xie Changyuan was just his guess."

Gu Yang: "Then what information did you provide?"

Secretary Ye: "It's a forgery."

Gu Yang: "..."

Gu Yang felt that Huo Sinian was too cunning: "Aren't you afraid that Xie Changyuan will discover something?"

“More than 20 years have passed since that incident,” Secretary Ye said. “Xie Changyuan couldn’t possibly remember every detail from back then; it would be very easy for him to forge surveillance footage.”

Gu Yang clicked her tongue twice and asked Huo Sinian, "Aren't you afraid of guessing wrong?"

Huo Sinian: "The possibility of being wrong is not high."

Gu Yang: "What if Xie Changyuan isn't fooled?"

“If he were still Xie Changyuan of the Xie family, he would indeed be hard to fool.” Huo Sinian was calculating people’s hearts. “But he has been expelled from the Xie family for many years, understands this circle, and is afraid of power.”

"Aren't you afraid that what you said might not be what he was thinking at the time?" Gu Yang asked again.

“It’s not difficult to determine the cause and effect relationship and then guess the behavior and thoughts based on personality,” Huo Sinian said. “Xie Changyuan was very young at that time and it was impossible for him to give up the power grab easily.”

Gu Yang: "And what about you?"

Huo Sinian: "?"

As Gu Yang drove, he teased, "If you're so good at analysis, why don't you analyze your relationship with Lin Tan?"

Secretary Ye: "!"

Secretary Ye consciously kept her presence to herself.

“There’s nothing to analyze.” Huo Sinian no longer shied away from talking about these things. “No matter how many detours she takes, she will eventually come back to me. Consider this time as her experiencing life outside.”

"So confident?" Gu Yang asked.

Huo Sinian did not reply.

Gu Yang continued fearlessly, "I heard your brother has done a lot of foolish things before. How do you think your actions compare to his?"

"I won't follow his path." Huo Sinian only thought Huo Zhizhou was stupid.

Relinquish power.

Give up your fortune.

He went to someone's house to live off her.

All for the sake of a vague and ethereal word like "love".

If it were him, he wouldn't get the divorce certificate; he would use his power to keep her by his side for life. He wouldn't care whether she was happy or not, as long as she was by his side.

“In my opinion, your path is much more difficult than his.” Gu Yang disapproved of his approach. “You could have found another way to keep him by your side, but you chose to take the worst path.”

"You said love?" Huo Sinian raised his eyes.

“Back then, instead of forcibly keeping her by your side, you wholeheartedly supported her and treated her well,” Gu Yang analyzed. “Maybe now, the person standing by her side and accompanying her to the film set is you.”

He had heard the story of Huo Sinian and Lin Tan.

At first, there was no conflict between the two. On the contrary, Lin Tan was pleased with Huo Sinian for helping her out of a difficult situation.

But after this person became interested in Lin Tan, he began to take steps carefully. He first used the pretext of part-time work to get in touch with her, and later he simply used his family to threaten her and keep her by his side.

If they had just taken a normal route, things wouldn't have turned out this way.

“If it’s really as you say, the power of the Huo family should be in my father’s hands now.” Huo Sinian was very clear-headed. “Zhizhou is trapped in the Huo family, and I’m being threatened into a marriage alliance.”

Gu Yang: "?"

Gu Yang: "You brothers working together can't even handle Huo Cheng?"

“It’s fine to have no weaknesses,” Huo Sinian said calmly. “Having weaknesses will only lead to endless exploitation, and that’s when the struggle between me and Zhizhou will begin.”

That outcome wouldn't be any better than it is now.

It's uncertain whether Lin Tan will even live to see that point.

After all, Huo Cheng is a ruthless person.

"Now that you have power and influence, can't you properly pursue someone?" Only Gu Yang would dare to speak to him like that.

"Is she someone I can just chase after?" Huo Sinian knew Lin Tan's personality all too well.

Gu Yang: "That's true, with Qin Mo around, there's really no hope."

Huo Sinian: "I can also make sure you get no pay next month."

Gu Yang: "I was just joking."

Huo Sinian: "I was just joking too."

Gu Yang looked at Secretary Ye: "Your boss is really boring."

"You're joking," Secretary Ye replied flawlessly. "The boss is your boss now too."

Gu Yang: "..."

Gu Yang didn't say anything more.

On the way back to the hotel with Huo Sinian, he was having a mental struggle.

Logically speaking, Huo Sinian was his employer and treated him well, so he shouldn't have betrayed him.

But I always felt that if he continued like this, things would only get worse.

Five o'clock in the afternoon.

Huo Sinian arrived at the hotel.

Before entering the room, Huo Sinian called out to him, "Gu Yang."

"What's up?" Gu Yang asked casually, as always.

"I hope you pretend you don't know what happened today." Huo Sinian pushed up his glasses. "I'm a petty person, and I'm very vengeful. I always hunt down those who betray me to the ends of the earth."

"Still chasing me." Gu Yang clicked her tongue, waved her hand with her back to him, and walked in her direction. "I have no interest in your rich family's love affairs. As long as you don't make me do anything illegal, I'm a good employee."

After saying that, he went back to his room.

Looking at the closed door, Secretary Ye tentatively asked, "Should we install a listening device in his room?"

“There’s no need.” Huo Sinian walked into the room. “He knows what he should and shouldn’t say.”

Secretary Ye: "Okay."

Huo Sinian sat down on the sofa, and Secretary Ye looked at him hesitantly, as if she wanted to say something but didn't.

"Speak if you have something to say."

"To conduct DNA testing, we will also need Ms. Lin Tan's sample."

"I will handle it."

"OK."

"Um."

That evening.

Qin Mo returned with Lin Tan.

They chatted and laughed all the way, holding hands until they reached the room door.

When Lin Tan saw Huo Sinian standing at his door, his smile froze, and he subconsciously stopped in his tracks.

Qin Mo also stopped.

What are you doing here?

"Look how well you're taking care of my fiancée." Huo Sinian's gaze fell on their clasped hands as he spoke, his eyes behind his glasses appearing even darker.

"Your fiancée isn't here." Qin Mo protected Lin Tan well. "If President Huo gets Alzheimer's, I can introduce you to a specialist."

“My illness is rather unusual.” Huo Sinian said as he walked towards them, his gaze falling on Lin Tan. “Only Teacher Lin Tan can cure it.”

Qin Mo said coldly, "She won't treat you, and she doesn't have time to bother with you."

Huo Sinian: "Is that so?"

Qin Mo: "Instead of waiting, we might as well go and choose a burial plot sooner."

"I'm still choosing." Huo Sinian's gaze remained on Lin Tan. "If Teacher Lin Tan didn't have time to treat me while she was alive, she can treat me after she's gone. I'm not picky."

Qin Mo thought he was crazy.

Ignoring him, she took Lin Tan's hand and headed towards the room.

The instant he swiped his card to enter, Huo Sinian grabbed Lin Tan's hand and pulled her towards him.
