Huo Sicheng watched Qin Chong silently and steadily, not speaking.

Qin Chong did not urge Huo Sicheng.

Huo Sicheng grew up under his control, so his silent nature was not surprising to Qin Chong.

He was waiting for Huo Sicheng to speak again.

After a while, Huo Sicheng slightly opened his thin lips and said, “The request is very simple.”

Qin Chong: “You say.”

Huo Sicheng: “The day after tomorrow, when you go with me to the Mt. Dragon

Cemetery, just say a few words to my parents.”

“A few words?” Qin Chong was astonished, not expecting Huo Sicheng’s request to be so simple, “What do you want me to say?”

Huo Sicheng: “Whatever you want to say.”

‘ Qin Chong incredulously looked at Huo Sicheng, “Is it that simple?”

“Just that simple.” Huo Sicheng’s expression did not change at all, “You just have to say a few words in front of my parents.”

Hearing this, Qin Chong was filled with joy, “No problem, I won’t celebrate my birthday the day after tomorrow. I’ll wake up and go with you to Mt. Dragon to see your parents.”

“Good.” Huo Sicheng responded, “It’s getting late, I need to go home to accompany Qingcheng, I won’t stay for the night.”

After saying this, he glanced at the listening device installed under the table nearby and then pressed the wheelchair button to leave.

“Don’t go, your cousin-in-law has ordered the kitchen to make your favorite dishes,” Qin Chong hurriedly stopped Huo Sicheng, “Wait a bit, you haven’t even had the tea she brewed.”

“Next time,” responded Huo Sicheng.

Qin Chong watched Huo Sicheng leave. Without Huo Sicheng’s strong oppressive presence, his vigilant heart suddenly relaxed.

At the door, Huo Sicheng’s wheelchair stopped, and he coldly said to Yishui, “Report every move here to me.”

Yishui respectfully replied, “Yes, Young Master Huo.”

The moment Huo Sicheng got into the car, his always calm expression suddenly turned extremely cold, his narrow slender eyes filled with murderous intent.

The driver, Ah Qing, sensing Young Master Huo’s anger, turned pale with fear and quickly drove away.

When Gu Tianhao’s car arrived at the Qin family’s place, Huo Sicheng had just left.

He entered the room, didn’t see Huo Sicheng, and asked in surprise, “Ah

Chong, where’s Sicheng?”

Qin Chong, tired in body and mind, was planning to rest but couldn’t because Gu Tianhao had arrived.

He glanced at the two doctors sent by Huo Sicheng who were guarding him and then turned to Gu Tianhao, “Sicheng just left, didn’t you see him?”

“…” Gu Tianhao was shocked, not expecting to have still arrived too late, and said with a frown, “I didn’t meet Sicheng, I came as fast as I could.”

Qin Chong noticed Gu Tianhao’s expression and, due to the doctors’ presence, said to them, “You guys wait at the door, I’ll talk with my brother for a bit.” Upon hearing Qin Chong’s words, the doctors went to the door.

Gu Tianhao noticed Qin Chong’s actions and asked, “These two doctors look unfamiliar, are they new?”

“They’re doctors brought by Sicheng,” Qin Chong informed Gu Tianhao, “They will be my personal doctors from now on.”

Gu Tianhao was shocked, “Doctors sent by Sicheng?”

“I know what you’re thinking,” Qin Chong said thoughtfully, “Don’t worry about these two doctors, and don’t worry about Sicheng. I’m alive today thanks to Sicheng saving me.”

Gu Tianhao seemed to hear something incredible and stared at Qin Chong in disbelief.

“Sicheng saved you?”

Qin Chong told Gu Tianhao about how Huo Sicheng saved him, “I trust Sicheng has no bad intentions towards me. After all, I have been kind to him, and he wouldn’t let his benefactor die.”

Gu Tianhao thought for a while, “True, you are Sicheng’s lifesaver. After his parents died in a car accident, you protected and took care of him. His achievements today are all thanks to you.”

Qin Chong looked at Gu Tianhao sitting on the sofa.

“You came just in time, Bai Si made a lot of dishes tonight. You haven’t visited in a long time, let’s have a meal together later.”

“Okay,” Gu Tianhao agreed, then thought of his missed opportunity to reconcile with Huo Sicheng and felt disappointed, “I hurried here so quickly and still missed seeing Huo Sicheng. Ah, it’s so hard to reconcile with him! As long as we don’t reconcile with Huo Sicheng, getting the energy project will be very uncertain.”

Qin Chong listened to Gu Tianhao’s words, his eyes filled with complex thoughts.

“Tianhao, are you sure there was no oversight in that incident from back then?”

“Back then?” Gu Tianhao was confused by Qin Chong’s sudden question, “Which back then? What incident?”

Qin Chong: “The car accident of Sicheng’s parents.”

Gu Tianhao’s face changed immediately. He quickly turned his head to look around, making sure there were only the two of them in the room before relaxing.

He hurriedly stood up from the sofa and walked to the bedside, asking Qin

Chong in a low, tense voice, “Why are you suddenly bringing this up?”

Qin Chong saw Gu Tianhao’s panicked expression and knew he was afraid of being overheard.

However, only the two of them were in the room. His room was not being bugged, and Huo Sicheng’s sent doctors were outside, unable to hear his conversation with Gu Tianhao.

Gu Tianhao looked shocked and a little frightened and panicked, asking Qin

Chong, “Are you saying Huo Sicheng found out about his parents’ car accident?”

“I suspect…” Qin Chong’s eyes were filled with thoughts, “I just suspect Huo Sicheng knows about what happened back then, so I’m asking you if you handled his parents’ car accident cleanly?”

“Cleanly, very cleanly. I’m sure there was no oversight in that matter,” Gu Tianhao said without hesitation, “I think you’re being too paranoid. After hearing your description, I think what Huo Sicheng said was normal, and there’s nothing that could link to his parents’ car accident back then.”

He reassured Qin Chong, “You’re too sick, and you faced a near-death experience today. People think of many buried memories when facing death.

It’s not surprising that you thought of that car accident after seeing Sicheng.” Qin Chong found Gu Tianhao’s words reasonable.

But he still felt uneasy thinking about his conversation with Huo Sicheng.

“Ah Chong, don’t overthink it,” Gu Tianhao comforted Qin Chong, “Since Sicheng could save you and reconcile with you, sparing Qin Corporation, I believe next time he might help us secure the energy project.”

“The energy matter still depends on Gu Qingcheng. I can tell Huo Sicheng can’t control Gu Qingcheng, and he loves her very much, listening to everything she says,” Qin Chong told Gu Tianhao, “We can only control Huo Sicheng by controlling Gu Qingcheng. So, you need to put more effort into Gu Qingcheng, reconcile with her soon, and get her to agree to give us the energy project.”

Gu Tianhao: “Understood, I’ll handle Gu Qingcheng.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Qin Chong and Gu Tianhao didn’t say another word.

As time passed, Qin Chong’s unease about Huo Sicheng grew stronger.

“Tianhao. ”

“What’s wrong?” Gu Tianhao replied.

“I think you should re-investigate the car accident of Huo Sicheng’s parents,” Qin Chong frowned, “You know, the matter of Huo Sicheng’s parents’ car accident death must not have any slip-ups, and Huo Sicheng must not know the truth.”

Gu Tianhao looked at Qin Chong in surprise, “Have you considered that if we re-investigate Huo Sicheng’s parents’ car accident and he becomes aware of something he shouldn’t, the consequences are not something we can bear.. Are you sure you want to check it?”
