The middle-aged man wanted to report the situation to Deputy Director Zhang to have him send more men. These people had completely disregarded the law and he wanted them arrested.
Before the middle-aged man was able to say a word, he was instantly stunned when he heard what Deputy Director Zhang’s personal assistant said over the phone.
“…A mistake?” The middle-aged man did not see this coming. He glanced at his subordinates sprawled on the ground and said, “How could there be a mistake?”
These people were clearly a bunch of outlaws!
The deputy director’s personal assistant did not explain in detail over the phone. “Just pull out immediately and apologize to them nicely. If we offend them, we are in big trouble.”
The moment he finished his sentence, the deputy director’s personal assistant hung up the phone.
The middle-aged man raised his head to look at the threatening-looking Huo Changfeng as the deputy director’s assistant’s words kept reverberating in his ears.
He was just given the order to apologize and told that they could not afford to offend them.
The middle-aged man staggered and fell to the ground. What went wrong? Why did these people suddenly become untouchable?
Although he wasn’t using the hands-free mode, any martial artist could make out the conversation clearly at that volume.
“Hmm? A mistake?” Chen Ming raised his brow. Despite his gentle tone, it sounded inexplicably hair standing.
The middle-aged man thought about how it felt when Chen Ming had grabbed him by the throat and instantly changed his attitude. He promptly apologized to Huo Changfeng before making his subordinates apologize as well.
Before long, he left with all the injured men with their tails between their legs.
Chen Ming watched from behind as they left hurriedly and shifted his eyes when they finally were out of sight.
He touched his chin and said quizzically, “They certainly changed their attitudes quickly.”
Just a moment ago, they were determined to arrest them. Before they knew it, it turned out to be a mistake. It was clear that something had happened to make them change their minds.
Huo Changfeng narrowed his eyes. He was not curious about this sudden change in attitude. He turned to sit on the main seat with his hands on the armrest. A thought crossed his mind, so he asked. “Do any of you have nieces or little sisters?”
He had yet to recover from his failed gift to Huo Yao.
Chen Ming was still thinking about their uninvited guests, so he was at a loss when the chief steward suddenly brought up something completely irrelevant. He looked at Huo Changfeng quizzically.
The two stewards also reacted the same way.
Huo Changfeng looked at the three of them and suddenly shook his head. “Never mind. None of you can be trusted.”
Everyone went speechless.
Chen Ming finally realized where the irrelevant question was coming from. His lips twitched as he asked softly., “Did Miss Huo refuse to take the car?”
Huo Changfeng glanced at Chen Ming deeply.
Chen Ming instantly felt intimidated and stood with his back straight as he hurriedly said, “Erm… Chief Steward, I have to go. Miss Huo doesn’t have school, so she might want to go out. Since I am her chauffeur, I have to be ready at all times.”
The moment he finished his sentence, he took off.
Huo Changfeng went quiet.
Did the prick have to ask this?
**
Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
After the military training, school started for the first year students.
Since Bioinformatics was the most unpopular subject in Biology, the teacher did not interact much with the students other than teaching. After he was done going through the basics, he did not make any small talk.
The teacher was absolutely unapproachable.
After having lunch at the canteen, Huo Yao went over to the library. Since she did not have a complete understanding of Bioinformatics, she needed to do more research.
