Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 513 - 511 It’s Because the Boss Cares Too Much
"Don’t talk about godsons, what about my own son? I’ve always hated being threatened in my life."
The man’s ridicule completely shattered Yan Bin’s hopes, and he became extremely agitated, howling, "Fine, since you won’t let me go, don’t blame me for being impolite! When mother and son sink to the bottom of the sea, don’t blame me!"
Indeed! His subordinate wasn’t wrong; Huo Zhenyang didn’t care about this mother and son at all!
Threatening him with this mother and child, Yan Bin felt like his brain had been caught in a door!
Upon hearing Yan Bin’s threat to throw Miss Chu and her child into the sea, Ade panicked and was about to speak up when Huo Zhenyang, with an indifferent expression and an air of leisure, showed no sign of concern for Miss Chu and her child; he turned to the video:
"Are you done? My time is precious. If there’s nothing important, I’m hanging up."
With that, he pressed the end call button with a snap!
Just as the video cut off, the unconcerned, relaxed look on Huo Zhenyang’s face vanished in an instant; he stood up swiftly and commanded in a stern, decisive voice:
"First, arrange a flight, get to China tonight. Second, immediately locate the cell phone, find the areas where Yan Bin could be. He can’t have left Yunling City. Especially near the harbor in Yunling, those warehouses with few people but a lot of goods, turn them upside down for me!"
On the phone, Yan Bin requested a speedboat to leave the country and also mentioned dumping the little woman and her child into the sea. Huo Zhenyang, sensing sharply, deduced that Yan Bin must be hiding near the harbor.
Ade immediately understood that it wasn’t that the Boss didn’t care about the life and death of Miss Chu and Zaizai.
It was because the Boss cared too much!
Because he deeply understood that with Yan Bin cornered like a desperate dog, regardless of whether his conditions were met or not, the fate of Miss Chu and her child was likely to be sealed.
So, he absolutely couldn’t show any sign of concern for Miss Chu and her child in front of Yan Bin; the moment Yan Bin noticed his vulnerability, Miss Chu and her child would become even more valuable as a bargaining chip!
By acting indifferent, Yan Bin would not pay too much attention to the value of Miss Chu and her child, instead, it might buy a chance for their survival.
Moreover, the Boss also knew that although Yan Bin had made threats, in reality, to save his own life and leave the country, he would probably want to negotiate with Huo Zhenyang. He wouldn’t do anything to Miss Chu and her child in the short term.
And that little bit of time became the hope of rescuing Miss Chu.
Ade didn’t waste another word and dashed out of the office to arrange the return flight, and just a few seconds after he stormed out of the office, a slender figure walked in, seemingly just having learned about Ade arranging the flight.
"Boss, you’ve just finished your second surgery and barely left the hospital. Isn’t it going to be problematic if you fly back to the country now?" Su Yan said anxiously.
A stream of extremely cold and severe light shot over, making Su Yan feel chilled to the bone; had looks been able to kill, she might have been already crushed to pieces.
She clutched the files in her arms tightly and fell silent.
"Yan Bin called you a few days ago, and you didn’t tell me, did you?" Huo Zhenyang’s tone was so chilling that it could have dropped the room’s temperature to below zero.
Su Yan felt a cold sweat on her back, not expecting that he would find out, but she lifted her face to meet his gaze and summoned the courage to say:
"Boss, you were still in the hospital at that time. When your political adversary called to threaten you, the only thing any Chief Secretary could do was to block it for you! What could you have me do? It was my duty!"
She spoke so righteously that it was hard to refute.
A hint of a knife-sharp cold smile flickered on Huo Zhenyang’s lips. He had no time now to settle scores with her; he donned his suit from the coat rack and left the office directly, heading for the airport.

Meanwhile, in Yunling City, Harbor Warehouse District.
After the video call ended, Jiayi was taken to a warehouse behind by two of Yan Bin’s henchmen.
The door closed with a loud "clang" and sealed tightly!
Zaizai ran over: "Mommy! What happened? Are the bad guys not letting us go?"
Facing Yan Bin’s angry expression before being brought in, Jiayi was terrified.
However, she also understood that Yan Bin would not give up easily, and he must continue negotiating with Huo Zhenyang. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have mentioned three days, indicating he was prepared for long-term negotiations.
But if that man remained cold and ruthless three days later, uncaring about her and Zaizai’s fate... then, she and Zaizai would probably be in grave danger!
Jiayi steadied her heartbeat and comforted, "Don’t be afraid, mommy will continue to fight for us tomorrow."
Zaizai’s cheeks suddenly dimmed, "Does it mean godfather refuses to save us?"
She didn’t know what to say, but she couldn’t conceal the truth from Zaizai either. Taking a deep breath, she nodded and whispered instructions, "If things don’t work out, mommy will find a chance to distract the two bodyguards at any moment. You must run away, and don’t look back, you hear me?"
Zaizai felt a bit despondent, clenching his fists, no, godfather wouldn’t just abandon him and mom.
For some reason, he was firm in this belief, certain that godfather would surely come to save him and his mom.
The night grew darker by the moment.
Jiayi took Zaizai’s hand and found a relatively comfortable spot to sit down.
Zaizai had been through a great deal of shock and turmoil over the past few days, and soon fell asleep in Jiayi’s arms.
Whereas Jiayi, far from feeling sleepy, lay awake with her eyes open, her spirit on full alert.
The night in China was at its thickest, and it must be morning time in America by now. He would have hung up the phone and, likely, thrown it all to the back of his mind, immersing himself back into his official duties.
Her eyelashes fluttered, and she couldn’t help but laugh at herself a little. She had actually called him for help, and before the video call, she had even imagined that he would agree to Yan Bin’s demands...
How could that man possibly let his political opponent go, and for herself and Zaizai, no less, give the opponent 10 million US Dollars?
...
Time ticked away, little by little.
She lost track of the time.
Until a sliver of light seeped through the small skylight above the warehouse, signaling that it was likely dawn.
And then, there seemed to be a loud whooshing noise circling outside the skylight—
What was that noise?
Jiayi’s senses sharpened, she pricked up her ears. It sounded like the rotors of a helicopter!
Outside the previously quiet warehouse, there was suddenly a clutter of noises and murmurs.
Jiayi stood up and stealthily moved over, pressing against the firmly locked door, listening intently to the noises outside.
...
"What’s happening?" It was Yan Bin’s voice, both agitated and somewhat panicked.
"Abao, who’s standing guard outside, just sent a message back, saying he saw a helicopter above the Harbor Warehouse District, like it’s searching for something. It doesn’t look like cops, because if the police found us, they wouldn’t be this cautious, they’d have charged in already! Nor does it seem like Longding Society—"
"Then who the hell is it?!"
It was neither the underworld nor the legal institutions, so who could it be—
Everyone’s eyes widened with a simultaneous shock, could it be—
At that moment, Abao, who had been keeping watch at the warehouse district entrance for days, rushed in, panic-stricken, "Bad news, Deputy Mayor Yan, a group of people have driven into the warehouse district—"
