1769 The Fan Family
A black car came driving toward Huo Yao and pulled up in front of her shortly after she got out of the car.
She opened the backseat car door and bent over to get in.
Before she could sit down properly, the man in the car pulled her into his arms. It felt as though he was going to crush her to death using his powerful arms.
Zhuo Yun glanced into the rearview mirror from the driver’s seat before he started the engine awkwardly.
He was sick of looking at their lovey-dovey interaction.
Sigh!
Huo Yao raised her chin and said powerlessly, “Brother, be honest, are you trying to strangle me to death?”
The moment Min Yu heard the word ‘brother’, it felt as though feathers were stroking his heart, making it itch badly. He thought about the incident at the count’s residence and the desire in his heart promptly dissipated.
“You get into trouble the minute you’re out of my sight. Well done, Huo Yao!”
Min Yu finally loosened his grip and spoke airily.
It felt so scary!
She was in the wrong, but she spoke as though it was no big deal. Min Yu sighed powerlessly. “Super assassins aren’t easy to handle.”
If they were ordinary fighters, he would not get so worried. They were specially modified assassins, so they were many times more powerful than ordinary assassins.
Even if Huo Yao was good, she would have had trouble fighting so many super assassins.
Moreover, there were snipers hiding in the darkness.
Min Yu felt scared just thinking about it.
Huo Yao went quiet for a few seconds and remarked honestly. “It was not as bad as it sounds.”
She took care of them just with a flick of her fingers.
The moment Zhuo Yun heard those words, he nearly mistook the accelerator as the brake and floored it.
He had fought with super assassins previously. The experience felt almost suicidal and he nearly did not make it back alive.
How could Miss Huo say it wasn’t as bad as it sounded?
She was a genius, so she probably saw things from a different perspective, right?
Min Yu squeezed Huo Yao’s hand hard. He smiled ambiguously and said, “I think I must owe you money in my past life.”
Huo Yao cleared her throat without answering. She was the one who owed him something in her past life.
“Do you know the people from the Fan family?” Min Yu changed the subject.
“The Fan family? No, I don’t. Never heard of them before.” Huo Yao shook her head. “Who are they?”
“The family works in the field of biochemistry. Those super assassins were created by their medicine.” Min Yu explained unhurriedly.
Huo Yao promptly understood. “Do they want me?”
“Probably.”
Min Yu knew that Huo Yao had some secrets, but he did not expect the Fan family to want her. Judging from her reaction, she did not know the Fan family at all.
Why did they want her, then?
Min Yu felt puzzled, but he did not ask out loud. He simply tightened his grip on Huo Yao’s hand. “Just be careful for now.”
“Got it.” Huo Yao yawned and leaned against Min Yu’s shoulder. “I’m sleepy. Tell me when we get home.”
Min Yu covered Huo Yao with his jacket. “Aren’t you going to the hospital tonight?”
Huo Yao had already closed her eyes. “Uh huh. I’m not going.”
If she was not mistaken, Aunt Tong would probably arrive in a couple of days.

At the airport, in the middle of the night.
A slim woman wearing a black coat walked out of the airport lobby. She was wearing a matching black mask, so it was impossible to see her face. The only thing that could be seen was her eyes and they looked particularly cold and calm.
She flagged a cab and gave the cab driver an address using fluent English.
