Min Yu raised his brow slightly upon hearing that the envelope contained photos.
Huo Yao had already opened the envelope. Sure enough, it contained a stack of photos. Since the photos were not taken in high resolution, they were slightly blurry when they were developed.
Although it was low quality, the person in the photos looked familiar.
Huo Yao’s hands froze briefly and her eyes narrowed slightly. After looking at a couple of photos, she put the photos back into the stack and did not continue looking.
Min Yu noticed that Huo Yao looked even angrier now. He glanced at the photos in her hands and asked. “What are the photos about?”
Huo Yao put the photos back inside the envelope and replied mildly. “Someone with a death wish has sent them.”
Min Yu turned the steering wheel and left the school. He contemplated briefly and asked again. “Do you need my help?”
Huo Yao squeezed the envelope before looking at the address written on the note.
There was an address, phone number along with a time and place for a meeting.
The meeting was scheduled for 7:00 pm tonight.
Huo Yao threw the note back into the document bag. She tilted her head sideways and looked at Min Yu. “Yes. Help me investigate something.”
“Okay,” answered Min Yu softly. He took out his phone and called Yang Yi. After hanging up the phone, he told Huo Yao, “Just tell Yang Yi what you want.”
Huo Yao nodded.
After sending a text message, Huo Yao leaned into the seat quietly and spun her phone nonchalantly without saying a word. She kept looking out of the car window coldly with her deep eyes.
Min Yu looked up into the rearview mirror and said nothing.

Meanwhile, on the other end.
Song Qi entered the restaurant’s private room at 6:50 pm. She narrowed her eyes when she noticed that it was still empty.
Zhu was following behind Song Qi and hung her purse on the coat rack nearby. He proceeded to pull out a chair so that she could take a seat.
“Are you sure she has received the stuff?” asked Song Qi as she glanced at Zhu.
“I am sure. I even called the school to check with the teacher. He personally handed the package to her,” replied Zhu.
“Okay then.” Song Qi nodded. She checked the time again. It was still a few minutes before 7:00 pm.
Zhu served Song Qi some tea. He pondered and said, “Madam, why don’t I go downstairs and wait?”
Song Qi raised her hand. “It’s fine. If she has received the stuff, she will definitely come.”
“Uh huh.” Zhu did not continue harping on the subject and walked out of the private room to wait for Huo Yao to arrive.
Song Qi glanced at Zhu before shifting her eyes. She looked at her phone while she waited.
By the time it was around 7:20 pm, and well past the agreed time, Song Qi had already lost her patience.
No junior had ever kept her waiting for so long.
Song Qi seemed furious. She looked at Zhu and said, “Call her.”
They had obtained Huo Yao’s number from the school.
Zhu acknowledged before taking out his phone.
The phone got through after just a few rings. Just as Zhu was about to speak, he heard Huo Yao hanging up. He was stunned. He pulled the phone to eye level and saw that the call had genuinely ended.
Song Qi kept looking at Zhu. The moment she saw this, she narrowed her eyes and asked. “Did she hang up on you?”
Zhu scratched his head. “I don’t know either. He wondered if they were having a bad connection and pressed redial. “Let me try again.”
