Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 500 - 498: He and She Have a Crossing
Seeing the chill on Boss’s face, Ade immediately said, "Don’t worry, Boss, I’ll find someone to go to the police station and the municipal government to report Yan Bin right away! This time, whether it’s marital infidelity, keeping a mistress, collusion with gangsters, or hiring murderers, any one of these charges could send him to the eighteenth level of hell."
"Reporting him will at most lead to losing his official position and serving time in jail, picking up soap in the prison. Given Yan Bin’s influence in Yunling City, he might even be prepared to flee," Huo Zhenyang said indifferently.
"What’s your plan, Boss?" Ade asked.
"Notify the Longding Society, tell them Yan Bin has used his title to dig up the Longding Society’s criminal evidence from recent years and wants to claim credit for his crimes to seek a lighter punishment. Leave the rest to the Longding Society to handle."
Ade took a deep breath.
In this way, Yan Bin would become a target for both the law and the underworld, with neither the police nor the Longding Society willing to let him go.
Even if he could escape legal punishment, he would never outrun the Longding Society’s worldwide pursuit.
He would be doomed to live his life in the shadows, constantly hiding and on the run.
"Yes, Boss. I’ll get right on it," Ade said as he turned to leave, only to hear Huo Zhenyang’s voice, "Wait."
"Is there anything else you need?" Ade stopped in his tracks.
"How’s the research going on my work itinerary from five years ago?" He lightly tapped the arm of the sofa with his fingers, his gaze scrutinizing.
The Boss hadn’t forgotten. Ade managed a wry smile, "Why are you suddenly looking into the past, Boss?"
"Just tell me, are you making excuses now or what?" His eyes flashed sharply, the premonition in his heart growing stronger.
Four years ago, after the surgery was successful, he woke up in the hospital. Due to the postoperative hematoma pressing on his nerves, it was determined he couldn’t remember many of his past associates and dealings. He immediately discussed privately with the old master in the hospital room that this postoperative complication must not be disclosed.
The fact that he had gone to America for surgery due to a hereditary family illness was a significant event for the Huo Family, kept tightly under wraps until this very day, never divulged to the public.
If it became known that the head of the Huo Family suffered from complications from surgery and hadn’t yet fully recovered, the repercussions would be even more profound.
At that time, the Huo Family would face internal instability and plummeting stock prices, and their competitors would start to stir, waiting to take advantage of their vulnerability—
All of those events would become the source of harm to the Huo Family.
For instance, this time, Yan Bin came close to using the rumors that he went to America for treatment as a gimmick to bring him down.
Like the ruler of a country at his weakest moment, the state, too, faces tumultuous times, with the people at their most restless and rebellious.
He couldn’t afford to be sick as an ordinary person.
He was the emperor of the Huo Family empire, seen by everyone as an eternal, indestructible force.
Therefore, over these years, he had been trying to act like a normal person, pretending as though those temporarily forgotten memories simply didn’t exist.
But today, four years later, after a chance encounter with a young woman, he had no choice but to delve into his past to seek clarity!
The seriousness on the Boss’s handsome face stopped Ade from making any more excuses.
He spoke plainly, "Five years ago, Boss did spend a period in northern H City. The work itinerary records that Boss stayed there for about half a year, living in a long-term hotel room and occasionally returning to G City to deal with affairs."
As expected.
Huo Zhenyang’s eyes narrowed, and he began to breathe a bit heavier, unconsciously.
Five years ago, that young woman and Shangguan Yao were classmates at Jin University in H City.
Five years ago, he, too, had spent time in H City.
His life had intersected with hers for a period.
Was this merely a coincidence?
"Do I have any records of my private trips in H City?" he restrained the surge within his heart.
"No, Boss, these are only records of work-related trips," Ade said helplessly.
He didn’t say much; it seemed necessary to go back to America himself and have a good talk with the old man.
Four years ago, when he had just been discharged from a hospital in America, all his assistants, drivers, and bodyguards were completely replaced with new faces.
The old man’s explanation at that time was that injecting new blood would prevent news of his illness from spreading.
After all, those old staff had followed him from China, and they all knew about the serious illness he had suffered, as well as the fact that he had undergone brain surgery in America. Concerns that chatter might lead to leaks prompted the signing of confidentiality agreements, and they were each dispatched to the Huo Family’s branches around the world.
He didn’t dwell on it, as he had neither the time nor the luxury to think more about it.
The recovery period after brain surgery, the busyness of breaking new ground in America’s business world... these four years had left no room for him to trace the blanks in his memory.
The room fell silent.
It was then that Ade hesitated a moment, though unsure whether he should speak, but since the Boss had ordered it, he had to report.
"By the way, Boss, there is another matter. Didn’t you ask me to keep an eye on Miss Su last time? I’ve found something that seems a bit off..."
"What?" Huo Zhenyang’s eyelid twitched, his lashes fluttering.
Puzzlement was written all over Ade’s face: "Miss Su once went to a local hospital for a DNA test. However, that hospital is a private one, and they are very strict about keeping their clients’ and patients’ privacy. They refused to disclose any details about whose DNA Miss Su was testing or what aspect of DNA she was looking into."
An unusual feeling surged in his chest, but he remained expressionless, his pupils stirring, "Which hospital?"
"Ren’ai Private Hospital in West City District."
"Arrange the car. I’ll go there myself tomorrow."
Ade was surprised, "Boss, but your injuries haven’t healed. Perhaps it’s better to wait until you’ve recovered..."
"No need." His decisively cold response left no room for argument.

After serving Huo Zhenyang his meal with Sister Hui, Jiayi saw that it was getting late and that his fever had subsided, so she said, "Mr. Huo, I’ll leave now so as not to disturb your rest."
Huo Zhenyang leaned against the headboard, pondering deeply as he watched her.
Jiayi felt that after she went downstairs and came back up, his gaze upon her had become somewhat strange.
This look was similar to his usual one, but somehow it felt different.
It was as if it were a sharp arrow, piercing through her to analyze her thoroughly.
She blushed under his gaze, "Mr. Huo?"
Huo Zhenyang then came back to his senses and casually said, "Hmm, go ahead."
"Shall I come over to see you tomorrow?" she inquired quietly. He had been injured protecting her; she would feel guilty if she did not care for him until his injuries were completely healed. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
He smiled slightly and generously said, "Yes, of course."
As the little woman turned and closed the room’s door, her silhouette disappearing from his line of sight, his gaze lingered for a long while before finally withdrawing.
Once downstairs, Jiayi went to the servant’s quarters for her bag and slung it over her shoulder, ready to leave when she saw a maid rushing into the villa, holding several sheets of paper that she placed on the coffee table in the living room.
At a glance, it looked like a medical record.
"What’s this?" Jiayi asked casually.
