1774 Expose Him All The Time
The true mastermind had remained quiet. The moment they detected the missing hospital surveillance footage from last night, they became wary.
As Xie and Huo Yulin chatted, no one noticed the expression on Huo Yao’s face.
Huo Yao lowered her eyes thinking as she tapped her fingers in her pocket.
Aunt Tong was not as good as her with the computer, but she probably had no trouble deleting a section of the surveillance footage.
“Show me,” said Huo Yulin to Xie. He was always more cautious regarding matters about his eldest uncle.
Even though nothing happened to his eldest uncle, something went wrong with the surveillance footage, so he needed to double-check it.
“Okay. The surveillance control room is on the ground floor…” As Xie spoke, he ran to get the lift.
“Uh huh.” Huo Yulin suddenly remembered his little sister’s computer skills. “Yao, are you coming to the surveillance control room?”
Huo Yao waved her hand. “I’m going to Eldest Uncle’s hospital ward to see him first.”
“Sure thing.” Huo Yulin nodded.
Before long, he took the lift and went downstairs with Xie.
Huo Yao went straight to her eldest uncle’s hospital ward. After examining his pulse, she pulled out a chair, sat down by the side, and took out her phone.
She changed it to computer mode and tapped swiftly on the virtual keyboard.
Huo Yao put away her phone 30 seconds later. She turned her head looking at her eldest uncle lying on the hospital bed and left the room.
She went to Shangguan Yun’s hospital ward.
“In a minute, I will get you discharged from the hospital.” Huo Yao spoke casually as she glanced at the young man pretending to read casually.
Shangguan Yun did not look happy at all. Instead, he lay in bed acting weak and frail. “Sigh. I lost so much blood that I’m still giddy. I think I might have to rest in the hospital for a few more days before I recover completely.”
If he continued staying in the hospital, he could avoid working on those three boxes full of revision material. The moment he got discharged, only a bleak and sad future awaited him.
“Oh really?” Huo Yao took out her silver needles unhurriedly. “Don’t worry. With me around, I can make it go away in no time.”
Shangguan Yun went speechless.
Life was hard as it is. Did she have to expose him all the time?
Shangguan Yun quickly climbed out of bed. “I suddenly feel fine again. Come on. I can get discharged from the hospital immediately.”
Huo Yao raised her brow. “I’m always impressed by how flexible you can be.”
Shangguan Yun went quiet.
After stepping out of the hospital ward, Huo Yao’s phone rang.
It was a call from Huo Yulin.
He asked her to go to the surveillance control room downstairs.
Huo Yao already saw this coming. She acknowledged him and put away her phone.
“Who was that? Do you have to go somewhere? I can always settle the discharge paperwork myself,” said Shangguan Yun thoughtfully.
“I’m good. It’s just going to take a couple of minutes.”
Huo Yao went to the lift and pressed the button.
The young man slumped his shoulders as he followed behind her.

Meanwhile, in the surveillance control room on the ground floor.
When Huo Yao and Shangguan Yun entered the room, Huo Yulin had already tried to recover the files using his code for the fifth time, but to no avail.
“Can you try to restore it?” Huo Yulin got up from the seat.
Huo Yao glanced at the screen. “I might not be able to do it.”
Shangguan Yun rolled his eyes immediately.
She was so pretentious.
Huo Yulin shook his head. “It’s okay. Don’t force yourself if you can’t recover it.”
“Don’t worry, Brother Yulin. I’m sure she…”
Before Shangguan Yun could get to ‘can’, he received death stares from Huo Yao. He automatically changed the subject. “…will do her best. Uh huh. She’ll do her best to recover the tape.”
Shangguan Yun smiled sheepishly. He was certain if he said the wrong thing earlier, Huo Yao would have slaughtered him already.
