The basement was very large and done up in a modern style, complete with a study and a tea room.
The study door was slightly open and light was leaking out from it. Huo Yao walked over and saw Min Yu working in the room.
She knocked on the door before she gently pushed it open and entered.
Min Yu put down some metallic objects and turned to look at Huo Yao as she came in. “Are you up already?”
Huo Yao nodded. She glanced at the things on the table in slight surprise.
It was full of weapon parts and a semi-finished weapon.
“I have already sent for dinner and it should be here soon.” Min Yu removed the white gloves he was wearing. He noticed Huo Yao looking at the things on the table behind him. “Are you interested?”
Huo Yao veered her eyes and replied nonchalantly. “Nope.”
Min Yu raised his brow. “What are you interested in then? Just money?”
Huo Yao quietly glanced at him. “Do I look like a materialistic woman to you?”
Min Yu shook his head and agreed. “Fine. My bad.”
Min Yu’s phone rang as it sat on the table, so he turned to retrieve his phone. When he saw the caller ID, his hands paused briefly before he told Huo Yao he had to take the call and walked out of the basement.
Huo Yao stood where she was for a few seconds and looked at the weapon parts on the table along with a diagram by the side.
She walked over slowly. When she saw the structure on the diagram, her eyes opened wide in surprise.
This diagram seemed unusually advanced.
Huo Yao raised her head and glanced at the door as she contemplated. She veered her eyes and looked at the half-done assembly on the table. He was two-third done putting together the weapon.
Judging from the parts on the table, Min Yu had yet to figure out how to assemble this.
Huo Yao leaned against the table and reached her hand out to go through the tiny parts on the table.
A few minutes later, Min Yu came back after answering the phone. He paid no attention to the parts lying on the table and simply said to Huo Yao, “Dinner is here. Let’s go eat first.”
Huo Yao nodded. She stopped looking at the things on the table and quickly followed behind Min Yu.
Zhuo Yun had come over to deliver the food. When he saw his boss and Huo Yao walk out of the basement together, he was startled.
He knew that his boss had been assembling the weapon in the basement all this time, but he did not realize that Miss Huo had free access to the basement.
Even though he trusted Huo Yao, his boss was doing top-secret work for the Weapons Bureau, so it was best if he kept his work confidential.
Zhuo Yun made up his mind to speak to his boss about this in private.
After all, it was best for Miss Huo to steer clear of bureau matters.
Zhuo Yun gathered his thoughts and went over to greet Huo Yao. “Happy Chinese New Year, Miss Huo.”
“Happy Chinese New Year.” Huo Yao nodded. Since she was famished, she promptly sat down and picked up her chopsticks.
Min Yu pulled out a chair. When Zhuo Yun continued standing where he was, Min Yu raised his head to glance at Zhuo Yun.
He finally veered his eyes and instantly said, “If you have nothing else for me, I’ll be on my way.”
“Uh huh.” Min Yu sat down.
Zhuo Yun fwas speechless.
Min Yu did not have to be insensitived to Zhuo Yun, especially since he was single!
Despite his annoyance, Zhuo Yun made himself scarce.
