Later on, Gu Sisi saw Huo Cheng at Gu Chenfei's place. If it weren't for the real touch at that moment, Gu Sisi would almost have thought she was having an illusion.
The moment she saw Huo Cheng, Gu Sisi just wanted to go with him, completely forgetting what Gu Chenfei had told her.
Thinking about how she couldn't wait to throw herself into Huo Cheng's arms as soon as she saw him, Gu Sisi thought she was really spineless.
This incident was very strange. When Gu Chenfei first brought her home, she had told Gu Sisi that she hoped Gu Sisi would just stay at her place.
"At least here, I can guarantee your safety."
Gu Chenfei's cold voice seemed to still be ringing in her ears.
"Sigh~" Gu Sisi let out a soft sigh. She knew that Gu Chenfei meant well, but she couldn't stop thinking about Huo Cheng and the baby. She just couldn't leave them alone.
Gu Sisi had been very confused before. She had no idea what to do. All she could think about was finding Huo Cheng, with a courage like a moth flying into the fire.
She trusted Huo Cheng whole - heartedly and thought that wherever Huo Cheng was, it was safe.
Now that Huo Cheng had really come, Gu Sisi no longer had that intense feeling. Instead, there was a faint uneasiness.
...
"You really had a good plan this time, but you still didn't expect Huo Cheng to come back suddenly," said this person in a completely mocking tone, holding a cigarette and looking rather slovenly.
Gu Chenfei stood there with a livid face and didn't say a word.
"Hey, it's really something. After all the painstaking planning, you saved the person and showed your concern. Well, here comes Huo Cheng, reaping all the benefits for free."
"Tsk tsk tsk, I feel sorry for you. Oh dear," Song Xian flicked the cigarette ash and looked gloating.
Gu Chenfei glared at her but still said nothing.
"Come on, it's so boring. Why don't you say a word? Aren't you angry, Gu Chenfei? Huh?"
"Are you really not angry at all? Don't you feel bad? You've been planning for so long, and just when your plan was about to succeed, someone messed it up. If I were you, I'd want to bang my head against the wall."
"Tsk tsk, look at Gu Sisi's eyes when she saw Huo Cheng. There's no sign of you in them. It's all about Huo Cheng," Song Xian continued, chattering non - stop, seemingly determined to annoy Gu Chenfei.
"Let me tell you..." Song Xian propped her chin up, thinking, and it was obvious that whatever came out of her mouth wouldn't be nice.
"Shut up," Gu Chenfei's patience was limited. After punching Song Xian on the chin, the world became quiet.
Song Xian covered her chin, grimacing in pain, but her eyes were still full of provocation.
Gu Chenfei was too lazy to deal with her and just thought about things on her own.
After settling Gu Sisi down, Huo Cheng felt much more at ease. However, he didn't return to the Huo family mansion. Instead, he stayed directly in the company.
Huo Cheng sent people to strengthen the guards at the Huo family mansion, which gave Yang Qian and the baby an extra layer of protection.
Huo Cheng knew about Jiang Lihao's situation. He knew that Jiang Lihao was in trouble himself, and it was all because of him. Thinking of this, Huo Cheng felt that he should ensure Yang Qian's safety even more.
What was more urgent for Huo Cheng now were the Huo mansion and Huo Yan. Huo Yan was eyeing things covetously, and the Huo mansion was not peaceful either.
Just now, Huo Cheng received a text message from his father, saying that he would find someone to authenticate the video tomorrow. That meant Huo Cheng only had one night.
Huo Cheng wasn't confident that his father would really believe him completely.
All he could do was to make his father believe him as much as possible, rather than believing Huo Yan.
Even though he didn't like the power - struggle and survival - of - the - fittest among siblings, Huo Cheng still had to do it now. Sooner or later, he had to settle things with Huo Yan.
In the Huo family, Huo Yan would surely not sit back and wait for defeat.
"Mr. Huo, will what we're doing really work?" the assistant asked, looking at Huo Yan busily instructing Qi Nian about entering the Huo family. He was very skeptical.
Although no one knew Qi Nian's relationship with Huo Yan, the assistant still thought it was unrealistic to make Mr. Huo believe them.
First of all, arranging Qi Nian to enter the Huo family was a difficult task. Just thinking about it made the assistant's head ache.
Huo Yan insisted that the assistant finish this task tonight. However, both Huo Yan and Huo Cheng were involved in this incident, and they were both suspected. So it was not convenient for them to participate in this matter.
As Huo Yan's assistant, it was extremely difficult to do this well.
"How could it not work? Are you stupid? Since father showed me that surveillance video, his meaning is very clear. He doesn't believe me, nor does he believe Huo Cheng. Actually, whether it's true or false doesn't really matter. Father just wants to see who is more capable," Huo Yan said confidently. She had a good plan, but she never thought about how difficult it would be for the assistant to carry it out.
"What are you standing there for? What about the thing I told you to do? If the person who comes tomorrow is not Qi Nian, you can just pack your bags and leave."
"Yes," the assistant's "yes" was full of helplessness. Even if Huo Yan did this herself, it would be difficult, let alone entrusting it to the assistant.
If he could really pack his bags and leave, the assistant would actually like to. But unfortunately, Huo Yan only said it as a threat. The assistant had once proposed to resign, but the consequence was very bad. After that, the assistant never mentioned it again.
Looking at Huo Yan's excited look, the assistant was full of worries. If Qi Nian really couldn't go tomorrow, he didn't know what was waiting for him.
...
Finally, the assistant found the third young master, Huo Zhen.
"What are you doing here? You're Xu Yan, right? I remember. You're my eldest sister's assistant, aren't you?"
"Yes, yes, third young master, you still remember me," the assistant looked extremely obsequious at this moment. There was no other way. Huo Zhen was really too scary.
As Huo Yan's assistant, Xu Yan had rarely seen Huo Zhen, but he had heard about Huo Zhen's glorious deeds more than once.
"What do you want?" Huo Zhen was also impatient.
"I just want to ask the third young master to do me a favor," Xu Yan paused slightly. After seeing that Huo Zhen didn't frown, he continued with confidence.
"I heard that the third young master is in charge of finding someone to authenticate the surveillance video tomorrow. I was wondering if the third young master could be kind enough to help. I have a distant cousin who can do this, but he's just unlucky and has been poor all the time. Now, finally, he has a chance, and I want to fight for it for him."
Xu Yan looked very sincere, as if what he said was true.
But Huo Zhen's expression remained calm. He neither agreed nor refused.
