Zhuo Yun found it unbelievable. He asked perplexedly. “Old Master, have you really been staying with the Huo family?”
“That’s why you are stupid!” sneered the old man.
Zhuo Yun touched his nose. Who would have guessed that Old Master Min quietly snuck into Huo Yao’s home?
Yang Yi fell into deep thought after hearing that.
If Old Master Min had simply stayed next door with the Huo family, Yang Yi would not have thought anything of it. However, someone had jammed the signal when he attempted to find Old Master Min’s GPS location several times.
But Old Master Min was clueless about technology and did not have an IT expert with him. This meant that the Huo family must have installed a signal jammer.
Something seemed amiss for ordinary folks like the Huo family to install a signal jammer.
Moreover, even Yang Yi was incapable of breaking through their security. This meant that it was no ordinary signal jammer.
Yang Yi frowned. He raised his head to look at his boss with his lips pursed and wanted to speak. However, he went quiet when he noticed the look on Min Yu’s face.
If Yang Yi could come to these conclusions, so could Min Yu.
Min Yu turned to look at Old Master Min with his deep eyes. “You are going back to the capital tomorrow.”
The old man tapped the floor hard with his walking stick instantly. “I just got here. How could you send me home?”
“You have no business staying here,” said Min Yu calmly.
“It’s not like I need you to take care of me. I don’t care. I want to stay here for a month or two.”
Old Master Min stood up and turned to look at Zhuo Yun, “Where’s my room? I want to rest.”
Zhuo Yun glanced at Min Yu before he hurriedly helped Old Master Min.
Min Yu raised his hand to press his forehead in silence for a long time.
He was having a bad headache already.

Huo Jinyan was putting away the chess set when Huo Yao entered the living room. She briefly contemplated before she went over to help him clear up. “Dad, were you and Mom acting along with the old man earlier?”
Huo Jinyan’s hands froze before he raised his head to look at his daughter and smiled as he said, “That’s not entirely true.”
He paused before continuing. “When he first called your phone, your Mom and I really thought he was from your hometown. Later on, we felt like he was someone we knew. Since you said you weren’t acquainted with him, and we didn’t know why he suddenly turned up at our place, we didn’t expose him.”
Huo Yao touched her nose. “So, in fact, you were acquainted with the old man.”
“Uh huh.” Huo Jinyan nodded. He suddenly put on a serious look as he thought about the Min family and said, “If you ever encounter the old man again, do your best to avoid him.”
He was worried that Old Master Min might get angry if Huo Yao called him an old man.
Huo Yao tossed the chess pieces into the box and did not keep probing. Instead, she said, “Uh huh. Got it.”
Huo Jinyan looked proud of how obedient his daughter was.
The moment he recalled that Huo Tingrui was not staying at home for a period of time, his mood became even better, so he said, “Since it’s Saturday, why don’t us three go out for dinner? Also, we can head to the KTV after that.”
Huo Yao remembered something and raised her hand to check her watch. “Don’t you remember that Brother Xiang’s flight arrives today at 3:00 pm? He ought to be home anytime now.”
Huo Jinyan: “…”
Huo Xiang just had to come home right after Huo Tingrui left to stay at his own place. When would Huo Jinyan ever have a day’s peace?
