Huo Yao hated the way Yuan Huan was looking at her. The greedy and crazed look in his eyes triggered some traumatizing memories for her.
Moreover, they were in an enclosed room, so the stench of the medical solution felt stronger than usual. She no longer had the patience to find out what he wanted from her.
She flicked her fingers swiftly and an acupuncture needle appeared in her hands. Yuan Huan could sense a stabbing pain leaving his hand trembling when it struck him on the wrist.
Huo Yao narrowed her eyes threateningly and grabbed Yuan Huan’s right wrist. She was too fast for Yuan Huan to even register what happened.
In the blink of an eye, Huo Yao had the gun in her hands.
Huo Yao was very nimble. Yuan Huan narrowed his eyes and did not see this turn of events coming. He could still sense the pain in his wrist. “Why don’t drugs have any effect on you?”
He had given her a large dose of nerve medication earlier. How could she still fight back?
“You must be immune to the drugs!” said Yuan Huan in astonishment.
People with such physical conditions were immune to drugs. No wonder she regained consciousness in just 30 minutes.
She had phenomenal brainpower and was also immune to drugs. This meant she was the perfect human test subject which he had been looking for all these years.
Huo Yao slowly turned the gun in her hand and did not answer him. Instead, she repeated her words slowly. “Did you touch Min Yu?”
Even though she sounded calm, her voice inexplicably felt chilly.
“Does it…” Yuan Huan pressed his black ring as he spoke.
Just as he was about to get to the last word, gunfire could be heard followed by excruciating pain coming from his shoulder. He looked sideways in disbelief and saw blood trickling down a gunshot wound.
Huo Yao looked at Yuan Huan. Even though Min Yu might not be in trouble, she could not help feeling angry. “Where is he?”
Yuan Huan clutched his wound and said sinisterly, “Don’t you want to know his location? Why don’t you try shooting me now?”
He pointed at his heart and threatened her without restraint. “If I die, he can forget about living either.”
Huo Yao looked at him expressionlessly. It had been a long time since someone was able to make her feel emotional. She placed her finger on the trigger and readied herself. “I’m going to kill you.”
The moment she finished her sentence, she shot Yuan Huan on his left wrist. He wanted to press his black ring and attack her using a concealed weapon, but he got shot.
Yuan Huan’s face turned ghastly pale. He did not expect Huo Yao to shoot him without hesitation. He retreated several steps and moved up beside Yuan Xi lying unconscious on the ground.
He glanced at Yuan Xi from the corner of his eye. Just as he was about to move, Huo Yao raised the gun yet again and fired two more shots right on his calves.
Yuan Huan instantly knelt on the ground uncontrollably.
Huo Yao walked over and pointed the gun at his temple coldly.
Yuan Huan could hear her placing her finger on the trigger and was instantly overwhelmed by fear. It finally dawned on him that Huo Yao was determined to send him to his death. He did not dare to continue agitating her by talking about Min Yu.
Instead, he said nervously, “Yuan Xi is my little sister. Aren’t you afraid she would feel upset if you…”
Huo Yao interrupted him before he could finish his sentence. “Are you fit to be her older brother?” She laughed softly. He could not compare to any of her brothers. “You bring a bad name to true brothers.”
Yuan Huan’s expression froze uneasily.
Huo Yao glanced at Yuan Xi and suddenly put down the gun. She said, “You’re lucky that you’re her older brother.”
Yuan Huan was about to heave a sigh of relief when Huo Yao pulled out a silver needle.
