Huo Yao halted in her steps, raised her hand, and waved at him. “It’s fine. I can drive over on my own.”
Min Yu looked at her, but he did not insist and let go of her.
Huo Yao walked out so happily that even her footsteps felt light with her hands in her coat pockets.
Meanwhile, Yang Yi suddenly snapped out of his thoughts and said, “Speaking of cars, I almost forgot. I heard Zhou Yixun say the woman was driving a Specter. Since it is a limited edition, only five cars are available in the market. I will find out who bought the cars.”
Huo Yao had already walked up to the entrance, but she caught what he said thanks to her keen hearing. She promptly stumbled slightly and felt worried.
How could they do that?
She turned and glanced at the living room with her face twitching nervously before putting on her shoes at top speed.
Min Yu narrowed his eyes at Yang Yi upon hearing this. “The Specter?”
“That’s right. Zhou Yixun said she was driving a Specter. Even though she was driving a car worth millions, she joined the race for the sake of a meager sum of money,” said Yang Yi emotionally.
Moreover, it was a very dangerous race.
To this day, he could not wrap his mind around it.
Huo Yao swore to herself as she held the door.
Min Yu glanced at Yang Yi. Then, he recalled something and suddenly raised his head to look at the door.
Thanks to his perfect memory, he recalled Huo Yao had come home driving a Specter that fateful night.
“What color was it,” asked Min Yu slowly.
“Let me ask Zhou Yixun.” Yang Yi did not know either. He put down the laptop, retrieved his phone, and gave Zhou Yixun a call.
Just as Yang Yi was making a call, the sound of the door closing could be heard. He raised his head and glanced towards the door as he asked Zhou Yixun about the color of the car.
Before long, Yang Yi confirmed it. “It was silver grey.”
The moment Min Yu heard this, he went into a long silence with a complicated expression on his face.
Yang Yi failed to detect Min Yu’s expression and simply said, “I will go investigate the owners of those five cars.”
Min Yu raised his hand and rubbed his brow. He sat down on the couch and finally said, “It’s fine.”
Yang Yi was about to make a few calls when his hand froze. He raised his head. “Huh? Are we dropping the investigation now?”
Min Yu acknowledged softly. He took out his phone and went through the footage once more.
Yang Yi scratched his head quizzically and went quiet. Moments later, he asked softly. “Yu, do you already know who she is?”
Min Yu said nothing. Instead, he kept looking at his phone and remained lost in his thoughts.
Humph. No wonder the woman looked familiar.

Huo Yao knew she must have blown her cover. She left the estate and quickly headed out to meet Lei Xiao.
When she arrived at the restaurant, Lei Xiao was already there.
He glanced at Huo Yao quizzically as he poured her tea. “You seem worried… What’s wrong?”
Huo Yao leaned her chin against her hand and sighed loudly. “Life is so boring.”
Lei Xiao’s lips twitched. “Did you get into a fight with your boyfriend?”
Huo Yao looked at him sideways. She picked up a cup of tea and took a sip. “Where is it?”
Lei Xiao retrieved a small wooden box the size of his palm from the chair beside him and placed it on the table before pushing it in front of Huo Yao. “The National Academy of Medicine is keeping a close eye on it, so I could only get a small vial.”
The back of his hand was a little red and swollen. It looked like a burn.
Huo Yao glanced at his hand. “What happened?”
Lei Xiao finally noticed his injured hand. He cleared his throat and said, “I accidentally spilled some reagent and burned my hand when I was conducting experiments a couple of days ago..”
