Song Qi felt uneasy the moment Song Zhi brought up the audio file. She replied. “That’s easy enough. She just had to pay a hacker to get the file for her.”
Song Qi suddenly took out her phone, accessed her cloud, and checked those invisible folders which she had. There used to be dozens of pictures saved in the folders, but they were now completely empty.
They were all pictures of Song Ning. The very same pictures she had told Zhu to print and courier to Huo Yao previously.
Song Qi turned off her phone and looked worried. Song Zhi was probably right. There was something strange about Song Ning’s daughter.
Song Qi rubbed her forehead impatiently as she kept wondering if the audio file was still on her computer. She turned to look at Song Zhi and said, “I am going home first.”
Song Zhi was equally worried now that their family scandal was out and Min Yu had walked out on their banquet. After Song Qi left, he went back to the Song residence as well.

After leaving the banquet hall, Min Yu took Huo Yao downstairs to the second floor. His private room was on the second floor.
Min Jian had arrived over 10 minutes ago. When they entered the private room, he was already sitting at the table and fiddling with something.
“Yu, why can’t I get this right?” Min Jian raised his head and looked at the entrance randomly. He spoke when he saw Min Yu standing at the door before quickly veering his eyes.
Min Yu glanced at the object in Min Jian’s hands and cleared his throat hard. He moved sideways slightly and blocked Huo Yao’s view as he said, “I forgot to tell you. An outsider is here to dine with us.”
Huo Yao raised her brow upon hearing this. An outsider?
The moment Min Jian heard his nephew’s voice, he raised his head to glance at the entrance. Since there was someone behind Min Yu, he quickly took the canvas bag from the chair beside him and placed the parts inside.
Why didn’t Min Yu mention that he was bringing friends?
After Min Jian was done putting away the parts, he straightened his back and looked stern. The moment he saw it was a young lady following behind Min Yu, his expression froze.
This young lady certainly looked familiar.
Before long, Min Jian remembered seeing her at the Ministry of National Security.
Min Yu took off his coat and placed it on the rack. He proceeded to take Huo Yao’s coat as well and did the same. He pulled out a chair and gestured for her to take a seat before he said unhurriedly, “This is my uncle. You can call him Uncle Jian.”
He introduced Huo Yao to Min Jian before sitting beside Huo Yao.
“How do you do, Uncle Jian?” Huo Yao nodded and greeted the man confidently.
When Min Jian saw the pretty young lady, he promptly suppressed his stern aura. He cleared his throat and smiled slightly. “Nice to meet you!”
Min Jian squeezed his hands awkwardly on the table. After glaring at Min Yu coldly for inviting Huo Yao without warning, he said uneasily, “Pleasure to meet you. Sorry, I wasn’t prepared, so I didn’t come with a gift. I will make up for it in the future.”
Huo Yao shook her head and wanted to turn down the offer tactfully. “Thanks, Uncle Jian, but…”
Before she was able to turn down Min Jian, Min Yu interrupted her. “Uncle Jian, it is fine if you don’t have a gift. You can always transfer her some money as a red packet.”
Huo Yao was speechless.
Min Yu sat with his arm leaning against Huo Yao’s seat backrest lazily as he reached his other hand into his pocket for his phone.
