Miracle Pill Maker Bullies the Boss

Huo Changfeng snapped out of his thoughts before long. He sighed and said, "This happened a long time ago. Your uncle is a very sentimental man. Otherwise, he would have gotten married and had children like your parents by now."

Huo Yao raised her brow. "He sounds like a good partner."

Huo Changfeng smiled without going into detail. "Miss Huo, why are you suddenly asking about this?"

"I was just curious about him." Huo Yao rapped her fingers on her knees gently. After all, her eldest uncle only existed on her phone, so it was no harm to find out more about him.

Huo Changfeng smiled. "You'll get to see him in person tomorrow."

"Uh huh." Huo Yao nodded. She could not go empty-handed to see him.

After chatting briefly, someone could be heard talking outside. Xie came in with food containers.

He put the food down and left the room.

Huo Changfeng opened the food containers and handed a pair of chopsticks to Huo Yao. "Things in Country M can be very complicated. Tell your teacher and senior brothers to try not to go outside."

Huo Yao thanked him. She thought about the fleet of cars following her in the morning and had an inkling of the situation. She nodded. "Got it."

Huo Changfeng picked up the chopsticks as well, but he did not take any food. "Don't worry. I will make arrangements for people to keep an eye on you."

Huo Yao looked at Huo Changfeng with her beautiful unsullied eyes and thanked him with all her heart. "Thanks, Uncle Changfeng."

Huo Changfeng smiled, shaking his head. "Miss Huo, it was the least I could do."

"Are you done with your business here? When do you leave school?" asked Huo Yao casually as she took some vegetables.

"In the afternoon." Huo Changfeng looked calm and completely normal.

Huo Yao nodded. "Something happened to the laboratory. When I came over I could hear police car sirens, so you have to be careful."

Huo Changfeng was about to eat. The moment he heard what she said, he coughed awkwardly. "Miss Huo, do you already know what we've done?"

Huo Yao blinked and shrugged. "I don't know anything at all."

Huo Changfeng went quiet.

If not for her expression, he might have believed what she said.

Huo Yao smiled. She lowered her head and continued eating.

**

After lunch, Huo Yao left the reception.

She texted Min Yu as she went to find her senior brothers.

[What kind of gift should I get an elder?]

Min Yu did not look at his phone. After 20 minutes, he finally replied: [Who is it for?]

She typed back promptly: [My eldest uncle.]

Huo Yao had already met up with Li Chenhui by now. She simply sat by the side quietly and acknowledged them every now and then.

Min Yu contemplated briefly as he held his phone. He said: [I will prepare something for you later.]

Huo Yao raised her brow. She knew the guy had a lot of good stuff. She composed a text message: [Okay then.]

After ending his conversation with Huo Yao, Min Yu gave Zhuo Yun a call.

Before long, Zhuo Yun entered the office with a metallic box. "Boss."

Min Yu reached his hand out to take the box without opening it. Instead, he opened his drawer, placed it in, and closed it.

Zhuo Yun glanced at him and asked quizzically. "Why did you want this?"

"As a gift." Min Yu looked cool as he spoke nonchalantly.

Zhuo Yun noticed that he did not seem upset about giving it away, so he made an intelligent guess. "Is it for Miss Huo?"
