Miracle Pill Maker Bullies the Boss

This was definitely a special drug. Other than someone from the medical trade, no one knew its true side effects.

Since it was capable of making the subject remain unconscious long term, even if it contained no poison, it would probably ruin her health.

Min Yu could not afford to wait any longer. At night, he called Wang from the Apothecaries' Association and told him about Huo Yao's condition.

"Some medicines cannot be detected using Western hospital equipment. How about this? I will book the earliest tickets and come over immediately," said Wang upon hearing the situation.

He owed Huo Yao his life. If not for her, he would probably be dead by now.

Min Yu knew Wang was no longer as strong as before. He glanced at Huo Yao lying on the hospital bed. His eyes turned dark as he replied. "Thank you. You don't have to do anything. I will make arrangements and send someone to pick you up."

"Okay then." Wang did not hesitate. At a time like this, delays of any kind could have dire effects on Huo Yao's condition.

"Uh huh," acknowledged Min Yu. Just as he was about to hang up the phone, Wang spoke up.

After going quiet for two seconds, Wang said, "Huo Yao might have studied medicine from the Shangguan family and a lot of people are looking for them. You have to watch your back."

Min Yu tightened his grip on the phone, but his face remained unsurprised. He replied calmly. "I understand."

Wang simply assumed that Huo Yao might have told Min Yu about this and stopped harping on the subject.

He proceeded to hang up the phone.

Min Yu stood in front of the glass windows with his mind drifting away.

Huo Yao was a first-class doctor and a master apothecary. Min Yu always wondered if she had something to do with the Shangguan clan. After all, only a mysterious family like the Shangguan clan was capable of erasing all tracks.

According to his conjecture, someone was probably after Huo Yao because of her true identity.

After exhaling deeply, Min Yu made a call. He gave his order before he went back to the bedside and sat down.

Huo Yao's phone was lying on the bedside table. The screen happened to light up with an incoming call.

Min Yu paused briefly and reached his hand to take the phone.

The caller ID appearing on the phone stated Huo Yun.

He remembered him. He paused and answered the phone on behalf of Huo Yao.

Before Min Yu was able to say a word, the bright voice of a young man could be heard over the phone. "Sister, are you mad at me? I didn't purposely ignore your message. I was just busy studying for exams recently and didn't have my phone with me…"

After Shangguan Yun was done talking, Min Yu said, "She can't take your call right now."

When Shangguan Yun suddenly heard a man's voice, he nearly jumped in shock. He automatically questioned him. "Who are you? Why are you answering my sister's phone?"

"This is Min Yu. We had dinner together before," replied Min Yu patiently.

Shangguan Yun promptly remembered his identity.

It was the old man who wanted to snatch Huo Yao from him.

Shangguan Yun could sense his temples throbbing. He got very annoyed. "Why did you answer her phone?"

"She's busy." Min Yu spoke unhurriedly, so it was impossible to detect anything amiss in his tone. He added gently. "I'll get her to call you back when she's free."

"Oh really?" Shangguan Yun heaved a sigh of relief inside, but he suddenly asked quizzically. "What's she doing now?"

Was she so busy that she could not answer the phone?

In the past, she would punch him whenever he took her phone.

Min Yu did not expect the young man to have so many questions. Just as he was about to go on, knocking could be heard on the door. Li Chenhui and the others came back in after going out to get some things.

"Has Yao regained consciousness yet?"
