Huo Yao was not alone in thinking this. Even Chen Ming felt very worried about letting Huo Yulin conduct surgery.
Huo Yulin was abroad attending a medical conference for a couple of days, but he was barely able to make it through the day. Now, he had just gotten back from a long-haul flight. Since he was still exhausted, he probably could not even stand for long.
Huo Yulin straightened his jacket without so much as a frown. “It’s okay. It’s just a tiny surgery. I’ll be fine.”
Huo Yao looked sideways at him. How could he act like nothing was happening? Didn’t he know his condition best?
“Young Master Yulin…” Chen Ming wanted to suggest otherwise. He loosened his foot on the pedal and wanted to pull up by the roadside. He wished he could stop Huo Yulin from going to the institute.
Huo Yulin looked straight ahead and butted in. “I’m just a low-level researcher. Even though it’s a surgery, I’m just the assistant.”
Experience meant everything in the working world. Even if Huo Yulin was a world-renowned scientist from a highly regarded institute, the same rules applied to him. Since he was new at the institute, he had to start from the bottom of the hierarchy.
Chen Ming parted his lips and looked into the rearview mirror. He finally sighed and stepped on the gas.
Chen Ming knew Young Master Yulin’s personality all too well. He was a stubborn man and there was no stopping him once he had made up his mind.
Huo Yao stopped trying to talk her brother out of this and simply said, “Come back soon.”
She lowered her head and played with her phone as though everything was completely normal.
…
Huo Yulin felt relieved. He leaned against his seat backrest and rested his eyes.
Chen Ming pulled up at the institute entrance 30 minutes later. His car was not permitted entry, so he got out of the car, went over to the back seat, and opened the door for Huo Yulin.
Chen Ming closed the car door after Huo Yulin got off the vehicle. He made sure Huo Yao was not looking before he raised his head and looked at Huo Yulin. “Young Master Yulin, don’t overdo it, okay?”
Huo Yulin acknowledged and said, “Got it.”
“Take care of yourself. After I send Miss Huo home, I will come back here to wait for you. Call me if you need me.” Chen Ming reminded Huo Yulin in concern.
Huo Yulin nodded slightly.
Before long, he entered the institute.
Chen Ming finally got into the car when Huo Yulin was out of sight. He looked Into the rearview mirror as he started the engine. “Miss Huo, let me send you home first.”
Huo Yao put away her phone and looked ahead. “No. Find a spot somewhere so that we can wait for him.”
Chen Ming was caught by surprise. He asked. “Are we waiting for Young Master Yulin?”
“Uh huh. I can’t let him kill himself, right?” said Huo Yao mildly.
Chen Ming touched his nose and automatically defended Huo Yulin. “I’m sure Young Master Yulin knows what to do.”
“Sure. I agree. He should know better.” Huo Yao smiled and nodded.
He could have made an excuse to avoid the surgery, but he insisted upon coming.

Chen Ming went speechless.
The smile on Miss Huo’s face suddenly felt creepy to him.

After Huo Yulin entered the institute, he went to the research building beside the main building and took the lift to the fifth floor.
When he got to the section chief’s office, he inadvertently glanced at the window on the right side. It had already been replaced.
Huo Yulin veered his eyes calmly and pressed the office doorbell.
A few minutes later, he could hear the door opening automatically. He opened the door and entered the office.
Other than the section chief, two of his colleagues were also there.
“Hi, Huo Yulin.” The section chief put down the report and looked at the pale young man.
