Lin Shuwen walked over to the school gate after glancing at the road.
Before long, Huo Yao came out of the school.
Lin Shuwen nodded at her the moment he saw her. “Hi, Miss Huo.”
Huo Yao retrieved a small plastic bottle from her backpack. “It contains five pills. He needs to take one pill every three days. After half a month, I will perform acupuncture on Mr. Li.”
“Okay. Got it.” Lin Shuwen nodded and acknowledged before taking the bottle of medication.
It used to be a candy bottle and did not contain any other labels. Lin Shuwen lowered his eyes and glanced at it a couple of times before veering his eyes without asking any further.
“Oh yes. Miss Huo, are you going back to class? Or are you going somewhere? Since I am free, I can give you a lift,” asked Lin Shuwen when he saw Huo Yao carrying her backpack.
Huo Yao straightened her backpack straps casually and answered. “It’s fine. Someone is picking me up.”
“Sure.” Lin Shuwen nodded.
He paused and thought about the car by the roadside earlier. He could not help raising his head to glance at the road, but the car was gone. He pondered for a couple of seconds and looked at Huo Yao. “Although the capital is a safe place, you have to take care.”
Huo Yao raised her brow. She clearly did not expect Lin Shuwen to say this. She thanked him for his concern.
Lin Shuwen smiled as he waved his hand and turned to leave.
Huo Yao raised her hand and glanced at the time before slowly walking to the pavement.
A few cars were waiting by the road. Huo Yao stood there and waited for Chen Ming to pick her up. She put on her earphones before she lowered her head to play with her phone.
At this very moment, a car waiting nearby moved and gradually reversed until it reached Huo Yao.
Huo Yao detected the car approaching her. She turned off her phone and slowly raised her head with a nonchalant look on her face.
The front passenger seat and back seat car doors opened. Two vicious-looking men with tattoos covering both their arms got out of the car. They seemed like hooligans.
The two of them walked up to Huo Yao and one of them even stood behind her. It seemed they were getting ready in case she wanted to run away.
Huo Yao took off her earphones and narrowed her lovely eyes when she noticed their behavior.
The man standing in front of Huo Yao blatantly scrutinized her with a frivolous look in his eyes. “Are you Huo Yao? Come with us now.”
Huo Yao pulled her backpack straps unhurriedly and asked mildly. “Who wants to see me?”
The man noticed how calm and unafraid the young woman was and couldn’t help feeling surprised. “You will find out once you get there.”
Huo Yao acknowledged gently before she asked. “Is it the Song family?”
Other than the Song family, she could not think of anyone who would treat a vulnerable university undergrad this way.
“Uh huh.” The man made no effort to conceal this and spoke the truth candidly.
He glanced at the school entrance as people walked out one after another.
His face looked annoyed. “We were simply paid to do this. If you know any better, just hurry up and come with us. Don’t make us grab you by force.”
He reached his hand out to grab Huo Yao’s arm as he spoke.
However, Huo Yao managed to dodge him.
The man did not expect Huo Yao to successfully evade him, so he frowned. Just as he was about to signal another man to grab her, he realized she had already voluntarily gotten into the car before she quickly said, “Fine. Hurry up then. Let’s go.”
The man was unable to wrap his mind around this and went speechless.
Things certainly did not proceed as planned.
