If Huo Yao was from an influential family, why would Song Qi fail to discover this during her investigations?
Sure enough, she was just a na?ve girl.
Song Qi shook her head.
Huo Changfeng promptly looked angry and slammed the table loudly the moment he heard what Huo Yao said. “Who?”
Did someone have a death wish? How could they threaten the Huo family?
Huo Changfeng knew that it was not in Huo Yao’s personality to ask for help, so he paused before asking. “Are you in some kind of trouble, Miss Huo? Tell me where you are now. I will come over right away.”
Huo Changfeng was in the middle of a family meeting with the elders from the various branches of the family. Since Huo Yao was family, he did not leave the room to take the call, so everyone could hear every word he was saying.
Although they could not hear what Miss Huo had said over the phone, they could tell something had happened, so some of the elders even pulled out their guns.
“I’m coming along with you.”
“I’m going too.”
“Me too…”
Huo Yao was puzzled when she heard the other voices over the phone.
Huo Yao’s face twitched. She quickly turned down his offer. “I’m good, Uncle Changfeng. I just wanted to check with you first.”
Although Huo Changfeng instinctively knew that Huo Yao was in trouble, she did not want him to interfere. He went quiet briefly before he said, “You have my word. No one can touch our family.”
“Uh huh. Got it.” Huo Yao did not continue talking to Huo Changfeng and quickly hung up the phone.
Song Qi could not help scoffing after Huo Yao hung up the phone. “Who did you call for help?”
Did Huo Yao think she was so dumb that she could not see through Huo Yao’s pretense? Huo Yao must be just pretending to call for help.
Huo Yao put away her phone and looked at Song Qi coldly. “You are not fit enough.”
Song Qi was so angry that she laughed. “You…” Her phone rang in her purse interrupting her at that moment.
Song Qi recalled her business here today and ignored Huo Yao. She quickly took out her phone, took a couple of steps to the side, and pressed the answer button.
“Hello, Zhi? Is the peerless doctor here already? I am waiting at the hospital entrance. I didn’t see anyone here. Sure thing. Don’t worry. I know what to do.”
The peerless doctor?
Huo Yao spun her phone as she contemplated. Then, she suddenly looked up and glanced at Song Qi.
It was quite the coincidence.
After hanging up the phone, Song Qi raised her head and looked at Huo Yao. “Remember what I said. You have five days to leave the capital. Otherwise, don’t blame me for doing it my way.”
The moment Song Qi finished her sentence, she turned to glance at Zhu beside her. Zhu quickly caught Song Qi’s drift and proceeded to drive Huo Yao away firmly. “Miss Huo, you may leave.”
Huo Yao raised her brow. She placed her hands back inside her pockets unhurriedly. “Tsk. I sure hope you won’t come begging for me to come back later.”
She turned and left the hospital.
Zhu shook his head speechlessly as he watched Huo Yao leave. “Beg her? Miss Huo must have gotten too serious with the playacting.”
Who did she think she was?
Song Qi paid no attention to what Huo Yao had just said. Song Zhi had just informed her that the peerless doctor was already at the hospital. “Just ignore her. The peerless doctor is here. Show some respect.”
Zhu composed himself. He replied with a serious expression on his face. “Got it.”
The two of them looked at the hospital entrance and carefully watched the people entering.
