Fan Shun leaned into the couch's backrest. "That makes sense."

"Since we know that the Huo family is involved, do you want to tell Mr. Shangguan about it?" The assistant felt equally puzzled by the turn of events. He added. "It will do us no good to offend the Huo family."

The Huo family had a lot of influence in Country M all these years, so it was incredibly well connected over there.

They had a lot of money and total control of Country M. Even though Mirage Base also had a powerful backer, it could not compare to the Huo family.

Fan Shun tapped his fingers on his knee as he said mildly, "We are not the ones trying to find the woman, so we are technically not stepping on anyone's toes." He paused and added. "Do you know why Shangguan Hou wants to find Lin's little sister?"

"I find it equally puzzling. Lin's little sister grew up in the countryside and only moved in with her family a couple of years ago. From the looks of it, she had a completely normal childhood." The assistant spoke quizzically. "Perhaps Mr. Shangguan wants to find Lin's little sister because of her skills as a physician."

After all, Shangguan Hou hailed from a renowned family of physicians, so it made sense for him to take interest in medical skills.

"Are you absolutely sure that Lin's little sister did this to Yuan Huan?" asked Fan Shun.

"I'm not 100% sure, but I think so." The assistant paused and continued. "Oh yes. Lin's little sister seems close to the leader of the Weapons Bureau as well."

"Is that so?" Fan Shun raised his brow as he spoke with his pitch slightly higher. "Things are starting to get interesting then."

"The leader of the Weapons Bureau never dated anyone all these years and he had no weaknesses. I never expected to see the day when he let a woman enter his inner circle." The assistant tutted before he continued. "I think we might have found his weakness."

Fan Shun glanced at his assistant nonchalantly. "Do you think the girl from the Huo family is his weakness?"

The assistant was stunned by the question.

Fan Shun closed his eyes and stopped talking.

Yuan Huan was always a careful man, but he kept getting played around by this woman. The woman was clearly no pushover.

She was probably intentionally brought up in the countryside as some sort of a cover.

The assistant looked at Fan Shun cautiously before he asked in a hesitant tone. "Are we going to tell Mr. Shangguan about this?"

"Sure thing. Why not?" Fan Shun did not even bother to look at the assistant.

"Got it." The assistant nodded.

The next day at school.

After taking the last exam, the winter break would officially commence, so school was out.

She went over to Zhao Lian's office after she was done. When she saw Prof Zhao, she was startled.

"Prof Zhao, why do you look so sick? I told you to go for a check-up, right?" Huo Yao looked at Zhao Lian's face. His pallor was waxen and his organs were clearly weak.

She had intended on refining some pills for Zhao Lian, but she was so distracted during this period that it had slipped her mind.

Zhao Lian had been busy working on a paper intended for publication in an internationally recognized academic journal. He spent most of the day testing his theory and revising the article at night, so he was completely swamped. "I probably overworked myself."

Huo Yao went quiet briefly before she said, "Prof Zhao, may I take your pulse?"

Zhao Lian was caught by surprise. "Do you know Chinese medicine?"

Huo Yao replied. "Uh huh. A little."

Zhao Lian smiled. He reached his hand out and let Huo Yao take his pulse as he said, "I wrote a thesis. I was hoping you could take a look at it and give me some feedback."
