Huo Yao had just finished dinner and was about to go back to her room and finish her assignment when she received a text from Zhuo Yun. She contemplated briefly and did not head upstairs. “Dad, I’m going for a walk.”
Huo Jinyan found it unusual. His daughter always headed back to her room right after dinner. Why would she go for a walk out of the blue?
He turned to glance at his freshly brewed tea. Sadly, if he hadn’t brewed the tea yet, he would have gone for a walk with his daughter.
“Go on. Take care.” Huo Jinyan waved to her.
“Uh huh,” acknowledged Huo Yao before heading out.
Zhuo Yun was waiting at the door. He opened the door when she arrived at the entrance.
They entered the villa one after another.
“Have you eaten, kid?” asked Min Yu. He raised his brow while he was on the way to the dining room.
The bright light in the dining room reflected his gorgeous face and made him seem more handsome and dignified.
Huo Yao walked over and admired his face before replying. “I already had dinner.”
“That’s too bad. I wanted to let you try some of this famous chef’s cooking.” Min Yu glanced at the dishes on the table.
Huo Yao glanced at him and said bluntly, “You don’t look like you are genuinely inviting me to dinner.”
Min Yu raised his brow slightly. “Then allow me to invite you to dinner at my place tomorrow.”
Huo Yao waved her hand and headed to the side. “Nope. I’m not free.”
Min Yu pursed his lips. He glanced sideways at the young woman sitting on the couch and saw how unrestrained she was and could not help smiling. He pulled out a chair and sat down to eat quietly.
Huo Yao took out her phone after she sat down and opened a game. Just as she was about to start, she received a text message, so she tapped it open.
Lin: [Yao, Xiang told me he made a full recovery after taking your meds.]
Since Huo Yulin was a research fanatic, he could not help thinking about what Huo Xiang said, so he texted her and asked.
Huo Yao contemplated for two seconds before she typed a reply slowly on her phone: [Brother Xiang was physically okay to begin with. Just that the poison was a little tricky to detect.]
Huo Yulin was surprised.
[Poison? I didn’t see any signs of poisoning when I examined him. How could he have gotten poisoned?]
He paused before he added: [Did he get poisoned because some of the meds that he took, clashed?]
If wuyu was that easy to detect, it would not be considered as high-grade poison.
Huo Yao replied ambiguously: [Nope. Someone was probably out to get him because he became too popular for his own good.]
Zhuo Yun brought her a glass of water. Huo Yao raised her hand and thanked him before lowering her head to continue typing.
Zhuo Yun glanced at Huo Yao’s phone and saw that she was texting someone rather seriously. He frowned before walking away.
Yang Yi sat in the side hall with his laptop on his knees and spoke into his earphones occasionally.
Zhuo Yun walked over and leaned against a cabinet before he asked him. “Since you are a hacker, can you hack into someone’s phone to see their text messages?”
Yang Yi removed an earphone and looked at Zhuo Yun. “What did you say?”
