Old Mr. Pei was stunned when Huo Yao suddenly smiled.

The grin on her face undoubtedly looked strange.

Huo Yao stopped looking at Old Mr. Pei. She slowly picked up the teacup and took a sip and stopped asking about the Shangguan clan. "What does Deputy Chairman Qin want in exchange?"

Old Mr. Pei did not expect Huo Yao to catch his drift so quickly. He smiled sadly and replied. "He wants your prescriptions."

Huo Yao seemed unsurprised. She already saw this coming.

"I'm so embarrassed by my son. How could he work for Qin Zheng? He is an unscrupulous man."

Old Mr. Pei did not know much about Qin Zheng and had only seen him in person a couple of times. Judging from his obsession with Huo Yao's prescriptions, and his unscrupulous methods, he could tell Qin Zheng was an unprincipled man.

Huo Yao looked at Old Mr. Pei calmly. "I know." She paused before she raised her head and looked at Old Mr. Pei. "If I'm not mistaken, you must have heard about Min Yu's relapse from Deputy Chairman Qin, right?"

This time, Old Mr. Pei did not hide the truth. "Uh huh."

Huo Yao nodded. Zhuo Yun had previously described the way Min Yu's illness had come back. From the looks of it, Qin Zheng must be behind this.

The culprit had to know about Min Yu's sickness. Only someone with deep medical knowledge was capable of identifying Min Yu's illness and using the right medicine against Min Yu to make him suffer a relapse.

Qin Zheng must be working for someone. Huo Yao narrowed her eyes and felt curious about the true mastermind behind all this.

Old Mr. Pei glanced at Huo Yao and noticed a serious look on her face, but he could not tell what she was thinking. After some time, he said hesitantly, "Now, only these meds made by the Shangguan clan can save Young Master Min, so you have to…"

Huo Yao gathered her thoughts and said, "If Deputy Chairman Qin genuinely knows someone from the Shangguan clan, he would have no need for my prescriptions."

Old Mr. Pei was stunned. He was preoccupied thinking about the Shangguan clan's medication, so this did not dawn on him. She was right. If Deputy Chairman Qin was connected to the Shangguan clan, it made no sense for him to want Huo Yao's prescriptions.

She was correct. It did not make sense.

"No matter what, we're desperate." Old Mr. Pei parted his lips hesitantly. Just as he was about to speak, the private room door opened and the waiter entered to bring in the food.

Old Mr. Pei promptly stopped talking.

After the waiter was done, he left the private room. Huo Yao naturally knew what he was getting at. She picked up her chopsticks and asked. "Old Mr. Pei, when do you plan on going back?"

Old Mr. Pei did not understand why Huo Yao was asking this. "Not yet."

Huo Yao took some pork ribs and said, "Don't worry about Min Yu. I will find a way to treat him. As for you, I suggest you go home as soon as you can."

Old Mr. Pei did not pick up his chopsticks. He looked at Huo Yao and smiled sadly and shook his head. He knew exactly what Huo Yao was driving at.

Pei Rong was involved with Deputy Chairman Qin, so he naturally could not leave the capital peacefully.

But he also could not watch Pei Rong sink deeper and deeper into trouble.

Huo Yao went back to school after lunch.

Liu Qian sent her a text message asking her to see him at the office when she got to the classroom.

"Mr. Liu, did you want to see me?" Huo Yao knocked on the office door before long.

Liu Qian raised his head and looked at the entrance. When he saw Huo Yao, he waved at her and gestured for her to enter. He turned the laptop around and showed her the screen. "I want to show you an email."

Huo Yao came forward and glanced at him before looking at the laptop screen. "What email?"
