1715 Count Kerr’s Men
Huo Yao reached her hand out to take Huo Changfeng’s car keys. “I’ll take your car to go back. This way, you don’t have to worry about my safety.”
Huo Changfeng’s car was specially modified. It was outfitted with the best bulletproof glass and the top safety features. Even if some other car ran into it, the damage was no different than simply getting a penknife scrape.
Huo Changfeng looked at Huo Yao and promptly caught her drift. He went quiet briefly and said, “Fine then. If you need me, I’m a phone call away.”
Huo Yao nodded.
Huo Changfeng took out his phone and made a call again. After a couple of minutes, their protection detail following behind drove the car over.
“I’m off.”
Huo Changfeng nodded to Huo Yao and got into the car.
Huo Yao spun the car keys in her hand. Before long, she got into the car. However, she did not go back to the Huo residence immediately.
She drove halfway around the city before she found an earthen clay pot for preparing medicine in an old market.
Her eldest uncle lacked vitality severely, so it was not good to give him strong medication. If she used a clay pot to prepare the medicine, its effects would be more gentle. Such medicine suited his condition the best.
Huo Yao paid the money for the clay pot, took the item, and walked out.
The old market was not very big and it was impossible for her to drive the car in, so she had parked the car by the roadside.
Before she even walked out of the market, Huo Yao suddenly halted in her steps walking through an alley.
“Come out.” She stood where she was looking straight ahead as she spoke mildly.
After she spoke, six burly men walked out a few seconds later and surrounded her.
When the passers-by witnessed this scene, everyone scuttled off quickly in fear without daring to interfere.
Huo Yao glanced at the people around her. There was hardly any expression on her beautiful face. She spoke in fluent English, “You’ve followed me the entire way. Tell me what you want.”
The moment they heard what she said, their expressions promptly changed. They did not expect the young woman to already know that they were following her a long time ago.
Did it matter? She was just a powerless woman. How could she escape the six of them?
“Come with us. Someone wants to see you.” The man at the lead played with the military knife in his hand. The sharp blade gleamed threateningly.
“No, I won’t.” Huo Yao’s voice remained nonchalant.
The man laughed coldly. “I suggest you leave with us obediently. Wouldn’t it be a pity for a pretty girl like you to get ruined?”
“That’s true.” Huo Yao nodded. She carefully placed the clay pot on the ground and rolled her sleeves up unhurriedly to reveal her fair wrist. “It’s too bad for you then.”
The moment she finished her sentence, her body moved.
The men surrounding her sensed their eyes go blurry. Someone among them got their arms dislocated and fell to the ground kneeling.
She was so swift that they were caught off guard.
“Damn it.”
The man who was talking a moment ago, barely dodged her attack. Count Kerr wanted them to kidnap the young woman. However, she was such a good fighter that no one saw this coming.
He took out his gun. “Don’t you dare move.”
He could not touch Huo Yao. Out of fear he did not make himself sound serious enough, the man pulled the trigger and fired at the clay pot on the ground.
The clay jar promptly broke into smithereens.
The moment she heard the sound of the jar breaking, something snapped in Huo Yao’s head.
