Miracle Pill Maker Bullies the Boss

A small, light brown colored flying squirrel could be found inside the box. The moment Shangguan Hou opened the box, the squirrel came flying toward him.

It climbed up onto his shoulder immediately.

Shangguan Hou raised his hand and rubbed the flying squirrel's head. He brought it down after a bit and held it in mid-air. "Little guy, time for you to do your job."

The flying squirrel kicked its legs in mid-air in an attempt to wrestle free of its owner's grip.

Shangguan Hou's lips curved upwards. Before long, he took out the syringe he had prepared and injected it into the flying squirrel's body.

After he was done, he placed the flying squirrel back into the box again.

Shangguan Hou closed the lid of the box and shut the lock gently. A sinister smile emerged in his eyes as he looked down.

There was no escaping him.

Sure enough, Huo Yao woke up at roughly 9:00 am.

By the time she woke up, Shangguan Yun was already lying prone on the bed fast asleep.

Huo Yao glanced at him and sat up in bed. She raised her brow when she smelled the faint scent of Chinese herbs in the air.

She had undoubtedly influenced the boy over the years.

She glanced around the room and noticed the unfamiliar surroundings.

Before long, Huo Yao pulled down the blanket, got off the bed, and placed her feet on the dark-colored carpet. She covered Shangguan Yun with the blanket and quietly walked out of the room.

Min Yu happened to be walking upstairs when she walked out of the room.

The two of them promptly made eye contact with each other.

Min Yu paused for a second. He glanced at her bare feet and strode toward her. "You're up. Are you feeling okay?"

I'm fine…" Huo Yao shook her head. Before she was able to finish her sentence, Min Yu came forward and picked her up.

"The ground is cold." Min Yu tightened his arms and pulled her against his chest. He placed his chin on her head and said, "I'm sorry. I should have shown up sooner."

When Huo Yao heard the man's apologetic tone, she could not help feeling emotional inside. She raised her hand and placed it on Min Yu's back. She said softly, "I know what I'm doing. Everything will be fine."

Min Yu did not know what to say. After some time, he replied gently. "Huo Yao, your boyfriend isn't that weak, okay?"

His cold voice was filled with powerlessness.

Huo Yao went quiet. She could not come clean and say that she did not want Min Yu to slow her down, and wanted to save her senior brothers on her own.

After pausing for a couple of seconds, she said solemnly, "My boyfriend's safety is very important to me."

After all, Shangguan Hou was a very cunning man and an expert at using drugs. Even though Min Yu was a very good fighter, it would not be easy for him to defend himself against drugs.

"I know what you are trying to say. You just didn't want me to hold you back, right?" Min Yu knew her personality well, so he had already read her mind. Otherwise, he might have fallen for her explanation.

Huo Yao decided to stop talking.

Min Yu shook his head. He carried her to a bedroom at the end of the corridor.

After they entered the room, Huo Yao raised her head cautiously. "I don't want to sleep anymore."

Min Yu did not answer her and placed her under the blanket and lay down beside her. "I'm exhausted. I didn't sleep all night."

Huo Yao went quiet.

She could not help feeling guilty.

Huo Yao sighed softly. She made herself comfortable, resigned herself to her fate, and closed her eyes.

After some time, Min Yu opened his eyes. He looked at the young woman in his arms and a smile appeared on his face.
