“Regardless of who she likes, it has nothing to do with you,” Qin Chu responded coldly and left .
After Qin Chu’s departure, Zhang Manlin took the bus home . Upon confirming the fact that she had not been followed, she then went to look for Huo Siqian .
– At the Huo Family’s old mansion –
“Big Brother Huo,” Zhang Manlin called out politely .
“How goes it Linlin? I heard you met up with Qin Chu today, any luck?” Huo Siqian stood at the bar mixing a cocktail, appearing to be in a good mood .
“Yes . ”
“Let’s hear it . ” Huo Siqian swirled around and passed a freshly made cocktail to Zhang Manlin .
Respectfully, she received the glass with both hands and held it . After contemplation, she said softly, “He pulled the curtains today and asked me to make my choice . ”
“Ah yes, and what did you say . ” Huo Siqian smiled as if it was all according to his plan .
“I did what you instructed me to do . I pretended to be in a dilemma and negotiated with him . Of course, he didn’t agree . I then continued to babble on and made the decision of siding with him at the very end . I said I would betray you and pass information to him . ”
“Did he believe you?” Huo Siqian narrowed his eyes and licked his lips .
“I’m not confident, but judging by his expression, I’m eighty percent sure that he believed me . After all, I did try to negotiate with him by making him feel like I fell for him and that I’d like to be with him . I even asked for permission to work at GK after everything is done,” Zhang Manlin explained .
“Did he agree?” Huo Siqian asked .
“Yes, he did . Big Brother Huo, you know that I do like Qin Chu, so between half-truths and half-lies, I think he believes me . ”
“Very well, next up…” Before Huo Siqian could continue, Zhang Manlin interrupted, “Rest assured Mr . Huo, I know what to do next . I will pass your information on to him a couple of times . Once he believes me completely, we will then pass him a fake one . By then, he will lose all his cards with no chance of coming back . ”
“Qin Chu won’t let you off if he learns that you betrayed him, and he will definitely not be with you,” Huo Siqian said calmly .
“That’s alright . Even if I like Qin Chu, it will have to depend on the timing . After all, Big Brother Huo, you’ve given me so many things that I would never be able to achieve in my lifetime, it’s impossible for me to betray you . ” Zhang Manlin showed her loyalty once more .
“I trust that you will not disappoint me . ” Huo Siqian smiled contently at Zhang Manlin’s words .
“I will not . ”
“Great, you may leave now . ”
“Big Brother Huo, I do have one thing to ask…”
“Yes?”
“Once this is all over, you will leave with Huo Mian, and Qin Chu would have lost everything . By then, can you give me the two kids?”
“You want the twins?” Huo Siqian asked .
“Yes . To be honest, the two kids are pissing me off . ”
“What plans do you have for them?” Huo Siqian continued his questioning in a calm manner .
“I plan on trafficking them to a remote village within the Southern Mountains . They will never be able to get out of the deep mountains,” Zhang Manlin said viciously .
“Not a bad idea . We’ll talk about it when the dust has settled . ”
“Okay . Big Brother Huo, I will leave for now . ” As Zhang Manlin finished speaking, she turned around and left happily .
“Boss, do you believe this woman’s words? Are you sure she hasn’t actually sided with Qin Chu?” Ah-Cheng sounded worried .
“She doesn’t dare, she knows what kind of person I am,” Huo Siqian said confidently .
“Are we really giving the kids to her? Miss Huo cares a lot about her kids, so if she were to find out…” Ah-Cheng couldn’t believe what he had heard . He had no idea that Zhang Manlin could be so vicious . If she were to really traffick the twins to the mountains, their whole lives would be ruined .
