Meanwhile, on the other end.
Chen Ming was sitting in the car watching as his computer expert pulled out all the surveillance in the vicinity of Tsing University when his phone suddenly rang. He took it out and saw it was Huo Yulin on the phone.
His fingers froze briefly for a couple of seconds before he answered the phone. “Hi, Young Master Yulin.”
Huo Yulin came back from the research institute very early today. However, there was no sign of his sister after he waited for a long time. He tried calling her on the phone, but it was off, so he called Chen Ming to check her whereabouts.
Chen Ming’s eyes landed on the laptop screen. The surveillance footage clearly showed Huo Yao getting taken away by two men. He narrowed his eyes and answered. “Miss Huo told me not to pick her up today, so she has probably gone out.”
Chen Ming’s voice sounded normal. A thought crossed Huo Yulin’s mind, so he said without any suspicion whatsoever. “Okay. Got it.”
Before long, he hung up the phone.
Chen Ming loosened his grip on the phone slightly and turned to look at the man beside him. “Did you find her?”
“Yes, I did. The car belongs to someone called Wei. The guy doesn’t have any stable work and is simply the local hooligan,” answered his subordinate as he pulled out the surveillance footage.
The moment Chen Ming heard this, he felt slightly relieved. Initially, he was worried that Miss Huo might have run into enemies of the family.
“Where is she now?” asked Chen Ming.
Although they were not rivals of the Huo family, Miss Huo was just an ordinary student. God knew what would happen if she bumped into them.
His subordinate clicked on the computer and paused for a couple of seconds before he said, “According to the vehicle GPS, they are currently at a hospital.”
“Hospital?” Chen Ming narrowed his eyes.
“That’s right. I wonder why they brought Miss Huo to the hospital. Let me make arrangements to send someone to stop them,” said the subordinate as he took out his form to make a call.
Chen Ming acknowledged softly. A threatening look radiated from his eyes as he looked at Huo Yao’s GPS location on the screen.

After Huo Yulin hung up the phone, he contemplated for a couple of seconds before swiping down to a phone number in his phone book. His finger froze in mid-air for a second before he pressed the dial button.
Before long, the phone got through.
Huo Yulin stayed quiet for a couple of seconds before he pursed his lips and said, “Which unit are you at?”
Min Yu raised his brow in surprise before he answered. “101.”
Huo Yulin naturally knew where Min Yu lived. He was simply calling so that Min Yu could expect him over.
After hearing the answer, he did not continue talking on the phone and hung up altogether.
He took his coat and headed out while putting it on.
After Min Yu heard the phone getting hung up, he smiled. He put his phone down and thought about why Huo Yulin would have called him.
Was Huo Yulin going to come over and see him?
Nie Su was sitting across from him. She glanced at him before asking. “Who was that on the phone?”
Min Yu spun his phone. “An obstacle.” To be precise, Huo Yulin was one of the many obstacles Min Yu faced.
Nie Su felt bewildered. “What obstacle?”
Min Yu leaned into the couch lazily. “Nothing.”
“What’s with all this mystery?” Nie Su shook her head. She shifted her eyes and continued reading the article in her hand. Before long, she seemed impressed. “Miss Ji certainly is a very knowledgeable woman.”
Madam Nie was not the sort to praise anyone easily, so Min Yu could not help raising his head to look at her.
