1734 Miss Huo Was A Goddess
Huo Qing stood in front of the car door for a couple of seconds. He looked at his subordinate mildly. “Watch your tongue.”
The subordinate froze briefly. The moment he made eye contact with Huo Qing, he promptly realized his mistake. “Pardon me.”
“Remember, the Huo family is governed by rules.” Huo Qing raised his hand and patted his subordinate’s shoulder as he spoke profoundly.
He bent down and got into the car.
Rules were laid by men, but the same man might not stay in power forever.
“Uh huh,” acknowledged the subordinate with his eyes lowered. After closing the door, he got into the car as well.
Before long, the car engine started. The three cars quickly drove out of the hospital leaving almost as soon as they arrived.
When they got to the junction, the subordinate thought about Huo Qing’s words as he drove. While he pondered, he raised his head and looked out of the car window inadvertently.
A man and a woman could be seen walking on the sidewalk. The young woman was walking on the inner sidewalk and could not be seen clearly. However, the man walking on the outside had an imposing aura and seemed somewhat familiar.
He resembled the chairman of the Weapons Bureau whom he had encountered at the black market last year.
The moment the subordinate remembered, he instinctively stepped on the brake.
Huo Qing was sitting in the backseat resting his eyes. The sudden braking made him stumble forward from the momentum. After steadying himself, he frowned at his subordinate in front. “What happened?”
The subordinate was still looking out of the car window, but only their backs could be seen now. When he heard Huo Qing’s angry voice, he hurriedly said, “Master Qing, I think I saw the chairman of the Weapons Bureau. That guy walking on the sidewalk.”
As he spoke, the subordinate wound down the car window and pointed outside.
Huo Qing turned to look outside the car window. By the time he spotted them, they had already walked past the corner.
Huo Qing veered his eyes and glanced at his subordinate in front of him. “Do you think the chairman of the Weapons Bureau would show up here in the middle of the night?”
The subordinate scratched his head and automatically replied. “I simply thought he resembled him.”
“Plenty of people look alike. How could the chairman of the Weapons Bureau show up here?” Huo Qing closed his eyes again. “Drive.”
The subordinate hurriedly started the engine again.
In hindsight, the chairman of the Weapons Bureau was a very mysterious man. Also, he spent most of his time outside Country M. It was unlikely for him to show up here in the middle of the night.
Perhaps he had made a mistake. After all, he only saw the man at a distance, and was not able to see the man properly.
The subordinate shook his head and concentrated on driving the car.

Liu gave Huo Changfeng a call and prepared to go back inside the hospital ward. When he raised his head, he saw Huo Yao coming over from outside.
His eyes promptly lit up.
Liu quickly walked over, straightened his back, and bowed to Huo Yao. “Good evening, Miss Huo.”
Huo Yao halted in her steps. She looked at the down-to-earth young man in his twenties. Her face twitched slightly. “You…”
Liu finally recalled that Miss Huo had never seen him previously. He automatically bowed and introduced himself. “Miss Huo, I’m Huo Liu. You can call me Liu.”
Huo Yao cleared her throat. “Just relax.”
“It’s only right.” Liu smiled sadly and spoke in an apologetic tone, “If you weren’t here to save Master Jinfeng, he might have been dead by now. I wouldn’t have been able to make up for it even if I paid with my life.”
Ever since Master Jinfeng got injured, the doctors kept saying there was no saving him. It was Miss Huo who turned the tables and gave them hope.
Liu treated Huo Yao like a goddess now.
