Chapter 907 Investigating the Matter

Chapter 907 Investigating the Matter

"You only asked about this?" Qin Mo was somewhat surprised.

Huo Sinian wanted to know this, so asking anyone else was better than asking Xie Changyuan.

Although the fact that Aunt Jun and Uncle Xie's daughter died young was not exactly a secret in the circle, it was not something that an elder like Xie Changyuan, who had been kicked out of the Xie family, could know.

What was Huo Sinian's behavior like?

"That's all I asked," Xie Changyuan replied. "He came suddenly and he left suddenly."

Qin Mo's brows furrowed in thought.

This behavior is very strange.

If you really want to know about this, you can just send someone to ask. Why bother to come all the way here yourself?

"What's wrong?" Xie Changyuan asked. "Did something happen? Or is there something fishy about him coming to see me?"

"It's nothing." Qin Mo stood up. "I've troubled you all today, I have to go now."

He went straight back to the car and met up with Lin Tan.

The reason why Lin Tan wasn't allowed to get out of the car was simple.

He didn't know if Xie Changyuan had let go of his grudges against the Xie family. If he hadn't, seeing Lin Tan's face, which looked so much like Aunt Jun's, he might do something rash.

"How is it?" Lin Tan asked.

"I didn't get any useful information out of him." Qin Mo told him frankly, "Maybe Xie Changyuan was just a smokescreen put out by Huo Sinian, but it's also possible that he wasn't telling the truth just now."

The facts were pretty much as he expected.

After he left, Xie Changyuan sent Huo Sinian a message: "Everything was done as you requested."

——

Two hours later.

Qin Mo took Lin Tan to the film crew.

Before leaving, he kissed her forehead to reassure her.

He left only after Lin Tan had gotten into her work.

On the way out.

Qin Mo looked at Xu Shen, who was driving, and asked, "Is Huo Zhizhou with Jiang Ruan now?"

“He’s never absent for a single day,” Xu Shen said directly.

"Let's go to Jiang Ruan's house," Qin Mo decided.

He can handle other things himself.

But since it concerned Lin Tan's biological parents, he didn't want to delay.

It's fortunate that Huo Sinian doesn't have information about Lin Tan's biological parents. If he did, it could potentially cause Lin Tan harm at any time, and he doesn't want such a situation to occur.

One hour later.

The car arrived at Jiang Ruan's place.

As usual, Huo Zhizhou was sitting in the garden playing chess with Old Master Qin.

Seeing him arrive, Old Master Qin was somewhat surprised: "Qin Mo? What brings you here?"

"I've come to talk to Huo Zhizhou about something." Qin Mo said, glancing at the nonchalant Huo Zhizhou, and asked, "Do you have time? I'd like to talk to you."

Huo Zhizhou looked at Old Master Qin.

The latter waved his hand: "Go on, go on, you can go later."

The fact that Qin Mo is in such a hurry must mean something quite important.

Upstairs study.

Huo Zhizhou and Qin Mo sat facing each other on the sofa.

The former was nonchalant and indifferent, while the latter had a serious expression.

"What does President Qin want with me?" Huo Zhizhou asked, establishing a connection between the two.

"I'd like to ask you for a favor," Qin Mo said calmly.

Huo Zhizhou slowly raised his eyes: "Is it related to Huo Sinian?"

Qin Mo: "Yes."

Huo Zhizhou poured him a cup of tea and handed it to him.

"I want you to help me check if Huo Sinian has done a DNA test between Lin Tan and someone else in Jingzhou. If so, what were the results?" Qin Mo said bluntly, "As long as you can find out, you can name your price."

"Has Mr. Qin forgotten that I share the same surname as Huo Sinian?" Huo Zhizhou's dark eyes were unfathomable.

"It's the same surname, but that doesn't stop you from giving me information about Lin Tan back then." Qin Mo's words were a reminder of their past collaboration.

Huo Zhizhou: "You said it yourself, that was back then."

Qin Mo: "Name your terms."

Huo Zhizhou: "If it were you, would you drag Lin Tan into danger and the abyss for Jiang Ruan's sake?"

Qin Mo paused.

I instinctively met his gaze.

"I know Huo Sinian better than anyone else," Huo Zhizhou said calmly. "If I interfere in your affairs, he will fight back with everything he has."

“You’re not afraid of him,” Qin Mo said.

"I'm not afraid of him, but that doesn't mean I'll go against him for your sake." Huo Zhizhou made his point very clear, not afraid of offending anyone. "If you had been nicer to Ruan Ruan when she came to Haicheng, I might have even repaid your favor."

"I understand." Qin Mo stood up.

Huo Zhizhou: "Take care, and don't bother seeing me off."

Qin Mo nodded slightly, then got up and left.

Huo Zhizhou saw him out.

Seeing his grandson's overly serious expression, Grandpa Qin asked Huo Zhizhou, who had sat down opposite him again, "What did you two talk about? He doesn't seem very happy."

Huo Zhizhou: "He asked me for help, but I refused."

Old Master Qin: "Why?"

Huo Zhizhou's gaze fell on the chessboard: "It's your turn."

"What favor did he ask you to do?" Old Master Qin's heart was full of his eldest grandson.

Huo Zhizhou said calmly, "Help him investigate."

Old Master Qin guessed it right away: "From Jingzhou?"

Huo Zhizhou hummed in agreement.

"Why don't you help him investigate? We're family now." Old Master Qin sided with his own family. "If you investigate, I'll put in a good word for you with Ruan Ya."

"If your kind words have any effect, I'll consider it," Huo Zhizhou replied calmly.

Old Master Qin: "..."

Isn't this making things difficult for him?

A soft-spoken girl.

An An.

The two were very opinionated and wouldn't listen to him at all.

“There’s no harm in helping Qin Mo.” Old Master Qin didn’t know much about Huo Sinian, let alone the intricacies of the situation. “He’s quite generous with gifts.”

Huo Zhizhou: "I'm a stingy person."

Old Master Qin: "?"

Huo Zhizhou: "I can't stand seeing others showing affection in front of me."

Old Master Qin: "???"

Old Master Qin snorted coldly: "Fine, if you won't help, then forget it. I'll go find Ruan Ya tonight; she'll definitely agree."

"Go ahead and go." Huo Zhizhou said calmly. "After you get there, I'll tell Mom about this and let her know that you favor Qin Mo much more than Ruan Ruan. Then..."

"You brat!" Old Master Qin scolded him, "You did it on purpose, didn't you?"

Huo Zhizhou didn't respond, but he was determined not to help.

He was not afraid of Huo Sinian.

But he didn't want the hard-won peace to be broken.

No matter how powerful Mo Mo and Tang Bai are, there will always be times when they are caught off guard.

He only hoped that his family could live a simple and peaceful life.

After living a peaceful life for a long time, he no longer wanted to experience ups and downs, not to mention that Qin Mo and Lin Tan had already registered their marriage, and he had not yet received Ruan Ruan's affirmation and official recognition.

Qin Mo wasn't angry.

on the contrary.

He understood Huo Zhizhou's refusal.

After all, if it were him, he wouldn't be able to drag Lin Tan into danger for the sake of others.

Amidst various thoughts.

He made a decision.

Since we have no leads, let's start from the source.

The next morning, he set off for Lin Tan's old home.

The moment he arrived, Huo Sinian received the message: [Boss, Qin Mo went to Lin Jiancheng's place.]
