Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 570 - 568: Please Stay Away from Us

Huo Zhenyang had his hands buried in his pockets, his eyes dark and brooding.

Jiayi shuddered under his gaze, feeling a bit uneasy. Could Anya truly be in trouble? The heat from the man’s breath was closing in, which she could no longer care about. Even if it was demeaning, she couldn’t help but utter two words she thought she would never say to him again, "I beg you."

His eyelids fluttered slightly as he fixed his gaze on her.

The eye contact only lasted for a dozen seconds, but for Jiayi, it felt as long as several years.

Finally, he began to speak, "That night, I came back from the hospital temporarily to get something for the old man and saw Liang Anya placing a listening device in my room."

Jiayi was stunned, "What do you mean?"

His gaze was deep yet as gentle as possible as he locked onto her, trying not to make her too anxious, "Of course, someone instigated her to do this. I suspect she was threatened by someone and had no choice."

Jiayi quickly organized her thoughts, "So, you’re saying that someone couldn’t get close to you, saw how close Anya’s and my relationship was, and used her to investigate you or even to harm you?"

He nodded, and waited for her expression to become a bit more composed before continuing, "After I discovered the listening device, I did not confront her. Instead, I just had George follow her. However, after she completed her task, she indeed met with the person who threatened her, and that person managed to shake off George."

"And then... Anya was just taken away by that person?" Jiayi’s tone was laden with a cold undertone. "What will that person do to Anya after taking her away?"

"Since Liang Anya sent you a message, that indicates that person won’t do anything to her for the time being. That’s also exactly what I’ve told you, there’s no need to worry," he said indifferently.

Jiayi’s hair stood on end, feeling as if she realized something, and she looked at the man, "You don’t want to save Liang Anya now, nor look for her, because you want to draw that person out, right?"

Huo Zhenyang was non-committal and merely shrugged his shoulders.

Jiayi gasped, "You’re disregarding Anya’s safety and using her! You could get her killed!"

She didn’t know who had taken Anya, but she was certain that it must be someone with a significant background.

An ordinary person wouldn’t dare investigate Huo Zhenyang, let alone easily lose George, who was tailing them.

"Why must I care about her life or death?" His voice grew colder, and his pupils frosted over.

She came to her senses, thinking how foolish her question had been.

If Zaizai had been the one taken, this man would have probably turned Yunling upside down in an instant, just like during the Yan Bin incident.

After all, Zaizai was his flesh and blood.

But what was Anya to him?

In this man’s eyes, Anya was of course nothing more than a pawn used to probe the enemy’s situation.

He didn’t need to care at all.

But she could not just stand by idly. She couldn’t intervene with others, but Anya was her sworn sister, the girl who had once taken care of her, and the reason she had been kidnapped, with her life hanging in the balance.

She also knew that since he had made up his mind, not even nine bulls could pull him back.

Jiayi calmed herself and looked up, "I want to know why that person is investigating you?"

She wanted to ascertain the level of danger Anya was in at the hands of that person.

Huo Zhenyang, having already mentioned it, didn’t care to delve a little deeper: "It’s about my current campaign for the mayor of Yunling City."

Jiayi’s face turned pale, with the kidnapping of Zaizai by Yan Bin still fresh in her memory, the horror not yet faded. Could it be his political rivals again this time?

Seeing the alarm in her eyes, he shook his head: "This time it’s not one of my political opponents competing for mayor."

Jiayi’s heart was in her throat: "Then who is it?"

At the slightly ajar door of the study, Ade heard every low whisper between the two inside, and he couldn’t help but be slightly shaken. He hadn’t expected the Boss to confide this matter to Miss Chu.

After all, aside from a few trusted aides, the Boss hadn’t even told the old master.

But it wasn’t surprising, either.

It was already clear that Miss Chu held a unique place in the Boss’s heart.

Inside the study, Huo Zhenyang fixed his gaze on her: "By now, you should know that my maternal family comes from A Country."

Her fingers curled slightly, and she nodded. After finding out that this man was Zaizai’s biological father, while she was hospitalized, Auntie Li serving by her side had spoken quite a bit about her past in G City with this man.

Occasionally, George would come to check on her, also sharing details of her time in S Country with him.

No matter if she liked to hear it or not, whether or not she wished to remember, he had adopted a force-feeding approach, relentlessly cramming bits and pieces of their past into her brain.

Presumably, this was also why he had called back Auntie Li and George, to further reinforce the recovery of her memory.

"My involvement in politics over here in China makes A Country wary. Their investigation into me is quite normal." His eyes were ripple-free.

To actually involve national-level concerns.

Jiayi’s face drained of even more color; it seemed that if the people sent were from the government of A Country, then they would definitely be a hundred times more formidable than the likes of Yan Bin.

"As for Liang Anya, it looks like they’ll try to keep using her. There won’t be any trouble in the short term. At least, she’s currently safe. I’ve said as much as I can; are you reassured yet?" His tone was mild.

Reassured? Hah. Jiayi kept silent.

He was displeased with her ghost-like evasions, his eyebrows furrowing tightly: "What more do you want?"

She tilted her face up, pale as snow, and finally made up her mind: "There’s nothing more I can do. But during this time, please don’t send people to pick up Zaizai to Disheng, and I also ask you—to keep a certain distance from us, mother and son."

"What do you mean?" His voice suddenly turned cold.

Jiayi swallowed hard and mustered the courage to look at him. Her voice was much more resolute than before: "Zaizai was almost harmed because of you once before, and now it’s Anya. A Country is clearly distrustful of you to send someone to investigate you. I can’t guarantee the people from A Country won’t use Zaizai like Yan Bin did. No, I can’t take that risk—please, keep your distance from us for now, especially from Zaizai."

Huo Zhenyang understood her concerns; his gaze darkened: "They want to investigate me, which is different from the incident with Yan Bin."

Jiayi insisted: "All I know is that because of your mayoral campaign, first Zaizai was kidnapped, and then Anya went missing. I absolutely can’t allow Zaizai to be close to you anymore!"

His face turned sharply stern, and he stepped forward, lifting her chin to force her to look at him: "Don’t you trust me to protect my own son? I’m telling you, it’s not possible. Zaizai must come over every week!"

He paused, his voice colder, with an added command: "The same goes for you!"

He had told her about this matter so she would stop worrying about Liang Anya, but instead, she fears being implicated by him and keeps her son at arm’s length as if avoiding a plague!
