Huo Yulin scratched his head as he thought about their eldest uncle’s stern face and could not help feeling a chill run down his back.
He promptly said, “He is a little difficult to get along with. You will find out slowly when you have the chance to see him.”
“Okay. Help me thank him for the gift.” Huo Yao waved the box in her hand.
“Uh huh.” Huo Yulin nodded. “It’s getting late. Have an early night.”
“Sure. You too.” Huo Yao took the gifts and closed the door before pausing to stick her head out through the gap in the door. She asked him sweetly. “Oh yes. Do you still have the incense?”
“Uh huh. I brought them with me.”
Huo Yao replied with a nod. “Good night.” She closed the door before long.
A faint smile suddenly appeared on Huo Yulin’s skinny face before he turned and headed back to his room next door.

Huo Yao retrieved a penknife from her desk drawer and opened the big box that Huo Yulin had given her.
Sure enough, there was a laptop in it. Even though its brand was unknown, judging from its surface, it was certainly not a normal laptop.
Huo Yao raised her brow before she placed the laptop on the table. She opened it, and turned it on.
It took no more than three seconds to switch on.
Since it was a new laptop, there was nothing on the screen other than a few icons for applications that came installed with the factory settings.
Huo Yao pulled up the chair and typed on the keyboard swiftly. Before long, she finished checking the computer specifications.
She was rather surprised at the outcome.
This laptop was top of the line and consisted of the most advanced processor and chip-set. Also, its firewall was clearly created by an expert.
Huo Yao thought about the high technology appliances installed at Huo Yulin’s estate and felt that it was probably not hard for him to get his hands on this laptop.
Huo Yao gathered her thoughts before she proceeded to test the laptop. She took out her phone and plugged in its data cable and connected it to her computer.
She went ahead and sent a text message: [Are you there, my boy?]
The moment she sent the text, she received a reply in no more than three seconds.
Unknown Person: [… What do you want now, kid?]
Huo Yao glanced at her phone screen without replying. She quickly typed on the keyboard while the code ran on her computer monitor.
20 seconds later, the black background with code disappeared and a video popped up on her monitor.
A man dressed in a floral shirt with a thick gold chain on his neck could be seen in the video. Since he was holding his phone very low, only his chin was visible while his face could not be seen.
Huo Yao raised her brow before she typed: [You have a bad aesthetic sense, my boy!]
Unknown Person: [???]
Huo Yao rubbed her fingertips on the screen before she replied: [What’s with the gold chain?]
After Huo Yao clicked send, she crossed her legs and leaned into the seat, watching the man freeze on the video.
A flood of cursing came over the phone.
In an instant, the man in the video disappeared and the screen turned black.
“Tsk tsk.” Considering his delayed reaction, it was no wonder that he could only play second fiddle.
Huo Yao removed the data cable from her phone unhurriedly and did nothing to explain her actions before she turned off her phone and closed the laptop.
She was undoubtedly happy.
Several text messages popped up on her phone screen in one go.
