Pei Rong and Old Mr. Pei got into the car. After driving some distance, Pei Rong finally raised his head and looked into the rearview mirror. "I heard that Min Yu had a relapse."

Old Mr. Pei was sitting in the backseat. The moment he heard the news, he was stunned. He shook his head and said, "Impossible."

Pei Rong asked in a puzzled tone. "Why are you so certain?"

"I told you. Huo Yao is an excellent doctor, so she has already cured Young Master Min," explained Old Mr. Pei.

He wanted to tell Pei Rong about this previously. Since he was angry with Pei Rong, he ended up forgetting about it.

"Huh?" Pei Rong slammed the brake inadvertently and slowed down. He quickly let go of the brake and went back to normal speed before he asked. "What do you mean he's cured?"

Old Mr. Pei leaned forward slightly when Pei Rong accidentally stepped on the brake. After steadying himself, he said, "Huo Yao cured Young Master Min ages ago, so the chances of a relapse are very low."

Pei Rong frowned upon hearing this with a puzzled look in his eyes.

Why would Deputy Chairman Qin receive news that Min Yu was suffering from relapse if Huo Yao had already treated him?

Old Mr. Pei's voice came from the backseat. "How did you learn of this anyway?"

Pei Rong composed himself. He had already come up with an excuse beforehand. "Deputy Chairman Qin mentioned it over the phone and I inadvertently overheard the conversation. I'm not surprised that he knows about this since he's friends with a lot of important people. I was worried Young Master Min might need your help, so I told you to stay back."

The moment Old Mr. Pei heard that the news came from Deputy Chairman Qin, a solemn look emerged on his face.

Pei Rong held the steering wheel gently as he studied his father's expression through the rearview mirror. He asked. "If he's suffering from a relapse, shouldn't he have called you for help?"

"Well, he didn't." Old Mr. Pei shook his head.

He paused briefly before taking his phone from his pocket. He tapped on his address book and called Huo Yao.

Before long, the call got through. "Hi, Huo Yao…"

Pei Rong pursed his lips without saying a word until Old Mr. Pei was done talking on the phone.

"Did something happen?" asked Pei Rong finally.

Old Mr. Pei held his phone and said nothing for some time until he finally spoke in a serious tone. "I need you to take me somewhere."

Meanwhile, Huo Yao tilted her head sideways looking at a man working on his computer after hanging up the phone. "Why would Old Mr. Pei know about your relapse?"

Min Yu stopped typing. He pondered briefly and said, "Perhaps he caught wind of it since Zhuo Yun deliberately leaked the news at my orders."

Huo Yao nodded. She leaned against the couch backrest lazily. "He's on his way and will be here soon."

Min Yu glanced at Huo Yao and wondered what she was implying. He placed the laptop beside him and asked. "Do you suspect Old Mr. Pei of trying to induce my relapse?"

"Nope." Even though Huo Yao had limited interaction with Old Mr. Pei, she could tell that he was a very ethical man. Instead, his son was a far more likely suspect.

Huo Yao shrugged. She retrieved a bottle from her pocket and handed it to Min Yu.

Min Yu reached his hand out and took the bottle from her. He proceeded to take out a pill.

"If you want to put on an act, you have to go all the way," replied Huo Yao.

Even though she had faith in Old Mr. Pei, she could hardly say the same for the people around him.
