Meanwhile, Huo Yao got into the backseat of the car.
“How are things at school?” asked Huo Changfeng with concern as he glanced into the rearview mirror from the front passenger seat. Even though he usually had a stern aura, he became genial the moment Huo Yao got into the car.
Although they had only met a few times, they did not seem distant at all. Their conversation seemed like any normal chat between an elder and a junior.
Huo Yao looked relaxed and spoke confidently. In comparison, there was a huge gulf between her and her older brothers.
“Uh huh. I’m good.” Huo Yao sat with good posture. Ever since attending military training for half a month, she had a soldier’s aura.
Huo Changfeng felt comforted after hearing this. She was just like a Huo.
After contemplating briefly, Huo Changfeng said randomly, “Things in the capital can get complicated, so I was thinking of arranging some self-defense classes for you from a martial arts instructor. What do you think?”
Huo Yao tapped her fingers on her knee gently before she turned down his offer once more.
“Uncle Changfeng, it’s fine. I think things are pretty safe for me.”
Huo Changfeng cleared his throat. He could not tell her about the Huo family for the time being. How could he explain things weren’t as simple as she thought?
“Well, there’s no harm for a girl to learn self-defense,” said Huo Changfeng moments later.
Huo Yao acknowledged softly but ended up turning down Huo Changfeng’s offer.
No one would believe she was good at everything even if she said it.
Since Huo Yao was not interested, Huo Changfeng did not insist upon it. Never mind. Everything ought to be fine with Chen Ming secretly protecting her.
After chatting briefly, Huo Changfeng looked out of the car window and touched the wooden bead bracelet on his wrist.
A car could be seen following them through the rearview mirror. Huo Changfeng calmly veered his eyes after seeing it.
Chen Ming had already noticed someone tailing them. He raised his head and glanced at the chief steward. Huo Changfeng looked calm, but he was slightly more serious than before.
Since Huo Yao was in the car with them, Chen Ming did not say anything out loud. It was not his first time getting tailed and he knew exactly what to do to shake them off.
The Huo family ran a big operation, so they naturally had enemies.
Chen Ming stepped on the gas slightly and the car sped up a little.
Huo Yao detected the car speeding up. She raised her brows slightly and turned to look out of the car window while she pondered.
Traffic in the capital tended to be packed. Although there were a lot of other cars on the road, Chen Ming had excellent driving skills and quickly sped past the cars in front of them. After they arrived at an intersection, he swiftly turned and shook off the car tailing them.
Chen Ming felt puzzled. He was already very attentive and ready to fight the person tailing them to death.
He glanced into the rearview mirror. Was this all the man in the car capable of?
Chen Ming wondered who sent the idiot to tail them. He was simply hilarious.
Chen Ming shook his head before he subtly slowed the car down.

Zhu hit the steering wheel after he lost the car. He watched the heavy traffic surround him and cursed furiously.
He did not expect to lose the car.
It was extremely strange. Wasn’t the chauffeur just an ordinary driver? How could Zhu lose him?
Zhu could not wrap his mind around it. After getting stuck in traffic for nearly 30 minutes, he finally called Song Qi as he turned the car and headed towards the hospital.
