Mi Wei knew that someone must be standing guard outside the door. Since he was in no condition to fight, he would only be a burden to Shangguan Yu
He did not care about himself, but Shangguan Yu was still young.
“Go,” repeated Mi Wei as he struggled to raise his hand and push Huo Yao away.
“Don’t even think about leaving.” Shangguan Hou laughed coldly. His men were guarding outside. Even if Shangguan Yu had drugged him, he did not have to worry about them leaving.
No matter what they tried, there was no escape for them.
Huo Yao glanced at Shangguan Hou and felt annoyed.
She raised her foot and kicked Shangguan Huo aside. She went over to help support Mi Wei again. She sighed softly and said, “You’re still the same.”
Mi Wei’s eyes felt even tearier the moment he heard what she said.
Huo Yao helped Mi Wei over to sit down on a chair. “Since I’ve come all the way here, I have no intention of leaving empty-handed.”
Mi Wei looked at her. She was very calm, so his anxiety inexplicably dissipated as well.
He was unable to think straight the moment Shangguan Yu showed up. Considering her personality, she probably knew what she was doing.
Shangguan Hou sat on the ground as he clutched his chest. He looked at Huo Yao from behind while she stood sideways from him. He reached his hand under his coat for the gun and held it.
Huo Yao seemed to read his mind and turned around. Before he was able to pull out his gun, she came over and kicked him right on his wrist. The gun promptly flew from his hand and landed squarely on the ground.
Shangguan Hou looked intently as Huo Yao picked up the gun on the ground. He was unable to move at all. His phone fell out of his pocket, but he disregarded it completely. He glared at Huo Yao and said, “If you dare touch me, you’ll have to pay with your life.”
Mi Wei felt worried, so he promptly said to Huo Yao, “Yu.”
Huo Yao simply smiled and walked up in front of Shangguan Hou. She squatted down slowly. She raised his chin with the gun muzzle and looked down at the fresh human skin mask he was wearing. “Threats don’t work on me.”
Shangguan Hou did not have the slightest fear in his eyes. He looked at her with a crazed expression in his eyes. “Are you so sure? Are you ready to put everyone at the airport at risk to get what you want?”
He was threatening her with the well-being of the people at the airport.
Huo Yao pursed her lips. “You overestimate yourself.”
He picked up the phone that had slid from Shangguan Hou’s pocket. It was her phone.
The phone was off, but she promptly gave it a long press and turned it on. After turning on the phone, she received a lot of notifications for missed calls.
Min Yu, Zhuo Yun, and Chen Ming had called her repeatedly.
Huo Yao swiped down the call history and checked it. She had already gone missing for four hours, so most of the calls had come over four hours ago.
It was normal for Chen Ming to call, but she was unsure about Min Yu’s calls.
Huo Yao pondered as she called Chen Ming back and told her she was fine.
“Miss Huo, where are you?” asked Chen Ming hurriedly. A wave of relief swept over him.
Huo Yao replied. “I’ll send you my GPS coordinates.”
“Yes, Miss Huo.”
Before long, Chen Ming received Huo Yao’s GPS coordinates. The moment he received them, he said anxiously, “Wait there. I will call the person in charge of the territory to pick you up. Give me five minutes.”
The Huo family happened to have influence over aviation there.
Huo Yao hung up the phone. She pulled up a chair nearby unhurriedly as she moved the gun every now and then.
Shangguan Hou lost all hope as he looked at her. Just as he was about to speak, he glanced at her neckline and noticed the necklace which had slipped out from her collar.
He narrowed his eyes the moment he saw it.
