Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 188 - 186: Huo Zhenxuan, you forced my hand
Jiayi left the office and hurriedly departed with George.
In the car, at the hospital entrance.
Conversations between Mu Qingran and Dr. Han echoed within the car through the listening device until they ended.
George inhaled sharply, "Miss Jiayi, what does Mu Qingran want Metildronate for?"
Jiayi pocketed the small listening device, unable to help but admire Huo Zhenyang’s foresight.
Before they returned to the Huo Family, he had prepared a set of surveillance equipment for her, saying that they would definitely be needed.
"To want Metildronate, of course, is to plan on using it on someone."
George’s face tightened even more. He had heard clearly through the listening device just how terrifying Metildronate could be, "Who exactly does Mu Qingran intend to use it on?"
There were only so many people in the Huo Family.
Huo Tianpei and Yao Zhenru were immediately ruled out; these two posed no threat to Mu Qingran, and it would be meaningless to use the drug on either of them.
Of course, it couldn’t be Huo Zhenyang. Mu Qingran had been scheming and madly infatuated with him, wishing to marry him.
Myself? Hah, Mu Qingran certainly wishes I were dead, but if she wanted to harm me, she would most likely go directly to Han Guangping for poison, rather than just making me demented.
That left only one person—Huo Zhenxuan, the second young master.
Using the process of elimination, Jiayi quickly reached a conclusion, her eyes shone like glazed glass, "George, say, if someone knew a secret about you that you couldn’t let others find out, other than killing him, what would you want him to be like?"
George thought about it very seriously and then answered just as earnestly, "Miss Jiayi, while I personally have no shameful secrets, but—if I did, I would hope he’d become an idiot or a fool, so he wouldn’t remember things about me."
"BINGO!" Jiayi snapped her fingers and smiled, "So now you know, whom does Mu Qingran want to target with this drug?"
George’s expression darkened, "Is Miss Mu planning to poison the second young master into idiocy?"
Jiayi nodded, indeed, Mu Qingran was carrying the second young master’s child, and if he forgot, then no one would know about it anymore.
Earlier, the two were shut in a room for a while, and it’s possible Huo Zhenxuan threatened Mu Qingran, prompting her to contemplate poisoning him.
As for the paternity test, with Mu Qingran’s abilities, she would likely come up with various ways to conceal the truth!
George immediately said, "Miss Jiayi, let’s go back to Huo Garden now and let the old master hear the listening device right away!"
Jiayi shook her head, "In the listening device, Mu Qingran only asked Han Guangping for Metildronate, but didn’t specify what for. Plus, she hasn’t done anything yet. Even if we confront her later, she can easily come up with an excuse, saying she got the Metildronate for something else. And if we alarm her, she’ll be even more cautious in the future!"
"Then what do we do?" George frowned. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂
Jiayi raised an eyebrow, "Let the second young master expose her personally, let them bite each other. We don’t even need to exert ourselves, just watch the drama from the sidelines, how convenient!"
George understood what Miss Jiayi intended to do and couldn’t help but show a hint of a smile.

Huo Garden, evening.
Huo Zhenxuan had dinner with Huo Tianpei and Yao Zhenru at home, and, as usual, barely ate a few bites before he got up, ready to enjoy his evening out.
There was a party on a yacht tonight featuring models, all high-quality beauties, and he certainly didn’t want to miss it!
Huo Tianpei, seeing the second son about to go out and fool around again, slammed his chopsticks down with an extremely dissatisfied tone, "Out again! All you know is to hang around with little stars and models, and then it’s just eating and drinking merrily with those fair-weather friends. What else do you want to do? With the way you are, do you still expect me to let you into the company headquarters? Ridiculous! If you could be half as good as your older brother, I could die with my eyes closed!"
Huo Zhenxuan looked at the patriarch, and sneered inwardly, Scolding me? You fools, all of you are kept in the dark!
When my own son is born, all of the Huo family’s assets will be mine.
Big brother? He’s wearing a huge green hat and he doesn’t even know it!
But seeing mommy incessantly signaling him, Huo Zhenxuan could only frown and suppress his anger, "Fine fine fine, I won’t go out today." Saying so, he went upstairs.
Forget it, bear with it! After all, Huo Garden would sooner or later be his.
At the dining table, Yao Zhenru saw her precious son leave and quickly said with a smile, "Elder master, look, our Zhenxuan is quite well-behaved, isn’t he? He listens as soon as you speak, such a good boy."
Huo Tianpei’s face finally softened a bit.
After Huo Zhenxuan went upstairs, he entered his own bedroom.
Unconsciously, the sky had completely darkened, and it was about time to rest.
There were a few knocks on the bedroom door, and someone came in.
"Qingran? What are you doing here?" Huo Zhenxuan was quite surprised. This was the first time she had entered his room. This morning, when he pulled her into the room, she had fled as if she’d encountered a ghost!
Mu Qingran was holding a silver tray, on which there was a small basket of Western bread, a stack of small steaks, and a glass of red wine.
She placed the items on the coffee table, smiled faintly, "I heard from the servants that you didn’t eat much dinner before you came upstairs, and you were scolded by the elder master, so I was afraid you might be hungry and brought some supper for you."
Huo Zhenxuan was puzzled, raising an eyebrow, "How unusual, you’re so good to me?"
And still calling me cousin so intimately, what a rare occurrence.
Mu Qingran seemed a bit embarrassed, she lowered her head, then raised it with her cheeks flushed and holding her belly, "Right now the baby in my tummy is yours, how could I not be good to you? Besides, we’ve reached an agreement today, and we may have to cooperate more in the future."
Huo Zhenxuan suddenly understood, and laughed, "Well then, thank you."
He then glanced at the supper on the coffee table, casually picked up the red wine, and gave it a gentle sniff below his nose, his smile even more brilliant, "’82 Lafite? Cousin, you knew it’s my favorite."
Seeing the man pick up the red wine, Mu Qingran’s eyes flickered with an indefinable cunning and tension, yet she smiled radiantly, "Of course, I often hear your aunt mention it, it’s your favorite red wine, how could I not know your preference? Alright, I don’t want to be seen by others, so I won’t talk to you much longer, cousin. This is a little token of my affection, make sure you finish it all, don’t waste it, alright?"
Huo Zhenxuan squinted, watching her turn to leave.
Mu Qingran carried the tray out of the room of the second young master,
The moment the door closed, the smile vanished from Mu Qingran’s face, revealing a hint of malevolence as she glanced at Huo Zhenxuan’s door.
Huo Zhenxuan, this is you forcing my hand.
If you hadn’t threatened me, why would I resort to such a strategy?
I can still be considered merciful for sparing your life.
For a profligate son like you, it wouldn’t be bad to become a fool! Don’t blame me!
In the bedroom, Huo Zhenxuan, who had been disparaged by the elder master and hadn’t eaten his dinner, was actually feeling a bit hungry now.
He picked up the knife and fork, ready to enjoy the late-night snack Mu Qingran had brought, when the door burst open, someone rushed in like the wind, and with a clang, closed the door!
