Min Yu raised his brow and watched from behind as Huo Yao strode off. He shook his head and smiled when he caught the jealous tone in her voice.
Min Yu veered his eyes and turned to look at the parts lying on the table from the package. He paused briefly before extending his hand to touch them. He pulled up a chair and started to take a close look at the parts.
A black handgun was assembled in about ten minutes. It was different from the other weapons available from the black market. It was distinctly exquisite and simple in design.
Min Yu pulled the trigger. Although there were no bullets inside the gun, it did not make a single sound when used, so it was clear there was very little recoil.
The person who designed this weapon seemed to be pretty smart.
Min Yu smiled thoughtfully before taking out his phone to make a call.
Before long, the call got through.
“Uncle Jian, this thing you sent me, where did it come from?” Min Yu turned the gun nonchalantly as a profound look rose in his eyes.
Min Jian took out a cigarette and lit up before he said in surprise, “Did you manage to assemble it?”
Min Yu nodded as he looked at a pinhole on the gun and answered. “Uh huh. It is a rather interesting weapon.”
The moment Min Jian heard this, he said, “This came from the black market. I heard it is even more powerful than top-grade K9. It is relatively silent and comes with very little recoil. However, no one has succeeded in assembling it.”
Min Yu crossed his legs lazily. “That’s before you showed it to me.”
Min Jian’s lips twitched. “I realize you are getting more shameless by the day.”
“Thank you for the praise,” acknowledged Min Yu before he asked. “Can you find out who manufactured the weapon?”
“I don’t know either. The gun simply appeared out of nowhere.” Min Jian felt puzzled just thinking about it.
They had an excellent intel department who hardly came back empty-handed, but they unexpectedly couldn’t get any information on the gun.
Min Yu narrowed his eyes slightly and paused for two seconds before he said, “I will get Yang Yi to send it over in a couple of days.”
Min Jian raised his brow. “Sure. I would like to see if it lives up to its name.”
“It probably does.” Min Yu was not very keen on the gun. Before long, the conversation ended.
Min Yu thought about Madam Nie’s previous calls as he rubbed the gun in his hand, so he called her back.
However, all he got was a notification informing him that he was unable to get through.
Min Yu frowned slightly. A few minutes later, he called again, but it was the same.
Min Yu went quiet.
Did his mother blacklist him?

Huo Yao went home with the box of Chinese herbs. She thought about the parts she saw at Min Yu’s place as she changed her shoes.
After changing into her indoor slippers, she noticed another pair of shoes in the shoe cabinet.
Huo Yao raised her brow and walked into the living room.
Huo Yulin was sitting on the couch with a laptop on his knees. After tapping the touchpad, he closed the laptop. He raised his head nonchalantly. “You’re back.”
Huo Yao looked at him for a couple of seconds before she nodded.
“Have you had your dinner?” asked Huo Yulin.
Huo Yao certainly could not tell her brother about her freeloading since it was embarrassing, so she simply answered. “I ate outside.”
