"I’m going to rescue someone now, goodbye." Lin Beichen waved amicably at them, then walked into the room at the back on his own.

Lan Zihua was still unconscious, but there were no external injuries on her body. Lin Beichen was slightly relieved and then turned to look at Barney and Thor. They were unable to move and could only watch helplessly as Lin Beichen took the person away.

As for Huo Sizun at that moment, his heart was filled with mixed emotions. He really didn’t expect that at this time, Lin Beichen would still be pulling such a stunt. Clearly, he had promised to help their Huo Group, so why did things change so suddenly?

And what was that about earlier? How did he suddenly say he was going to help the Liu Group? Could it be that he now intends to betray us?

Huo Sizun was full of doubts and worries.

He was well aware of Lin Beichen’s importance. Without his support, the Huo Group would face enormous difficulties. Therefore, no matter what, he must understand what Lin Beichen is really thinking.

"Wait a minute, in this situation, you must explain to me what’s going on! You need to give me an explanation!" Huo Sizun said anxiously.

However, Lin Beichen was in no mood to explain too much to him at this moment. He knew very well that if he explained everything too clearly, it would only be harmful to Huo Sizun. Furthermore, he realized that Huo Sizun’s dependence on him had already exceeded his initial estimation. If the Huo Group couldn’t operate without him, that was an unforeseen "gain."

Despite everything, Lin Beichen couldn’t ignore these things. He pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "You need to understand, whatever the Liu Group does has nothing to do with me, I don’t care. What I care about is only the interests."

While speaking, Lin Beichen paused, sitting on the sofa, supporting his forehead with one hand, his gaze falling on Huo Sizun with a hint of helplessness. He knew that the two of them still had a relationship based on interests, and couldn’t say everything too definitively. If a few words from him ruined the relationship, that’s not the outcome he wanted.

"Also, why are you telling me these things now? Afraid I’ll run away? Or afraid I’ll leave your Huo Group and turn to help someone else?" Lin Beichen continued, with a hint of playfulness in his voice. But his gaze grew increasingly cold, as his slender fingers tapped the table unconsciously.

"Or afraid I’ll betray?" Lin Beichen said word by word, the last few words spoken very heavily, filled with emphasis. Needless to say, if Huo Sizun indeed voiced those words, Lin Beichen would surely be angry. Angry at his suspicion, more angry at his lack of trust.

However, ultimately the two were merely partners, without any other connections. Even so, Huo Sizun didn’t want to strain the relationship. He took a deep breath and then slowly said, "You know that’s not what I mean, I just don’t understand, why would you want to help the Liu Group? You should know, they’ve always had ulterior motives towards us!"

In the end, it was Huo Sizun who was backing down. He clearly knew that without Lin Beichen, his interests would be severely damaged. That was a result he adamantly didn’t want to see.

Lin Beichen glanced at him, secretly sneering. He saw these things more clearly than anyone. This was just a temporary strategy. Whoever can bring him more benefits, that’s the way the balance should tilt. Isn’t this a principle everyone has understood since ancient times? Why are the Huo Family people so naïve?

Of course, Lin Beichen was naturally too lazy to say these things. He simply reiterated, "I’ve said before, your affairs have nothing to do with me. Helping Liu’s development now is part of my plan."

With that, Lin Beichen’s gaze became sharper. He frowned and said, "Don’t let your matters disrupt my plans. I can assure your interests, but at the very least, you should reach a consensus with me!"

Huo Sizun was speechless. He really didn’t know what more he could say. Every word Lin Beichen said hit the mark, leaving him unable to refute. Should he admit to being reckless?

From any angle, wasn’t today’s mistake on Lin Beichen’s shoulders? Huo Sizun muttered to himself. However, he also understood that now was not the time to assign blame.

"Since you’ve emphasized our interest relations, shouldn’t you at least discuss this matter with me? Instead of acting arbitrarily?" Huo Sizun tried to make a last effort.

Lin Beichen squinted slightly, inwardly sneering. Perhaps others saw the necessity, but for him, there wasn’t any. He calmly said, "I should have already told you, we only look at interests. If you continue to dwell on this, then I have nothing to say."

Lin Beichen was clearly already impatient. He didn’t want to make a fuss over these matters, nor did he wish for such trivial matters to disrupt their interest relations. He only wanted Huo Sizun to be like him, to let things slide. Even if there’s a past grudge, so what? Are there really eternal enemies? Stop dreaming naively.

Though Lin Beichen very much wanted to say so, he chose to remain silent. He knew sometimes silence is more powerful than words.

The more Huo Sizun thought, the angrier he became. He glanced at Lin Beichen, who had closed his eyes to rest, and realized that he was being dismissed. He took a deep breath and then slowly said, "So, you have no intentions of changing your mind, is that right?"
