Miracle Pill Maker Bullies the Boss

The man sighed. He spoke as he bent over to pick up the gun parts scattered on the ground, "She is from the Huo family. If she wanted to investigate this, it won't be hard to learn of Count Kerr's involvement. Rather than wait, it would be wiser to tell her the truth voluntarily."

Everyone went quiet upon hearing this.

If he volunteered the intel, maybe they had the chance to live. Despite their loyalty to Count Kerr, nothing would matter if they were dead.

"Also, don't tell anyone about this. If Count Kerr asks about it, just say she had a lot of bodyguards alongside, so we were unable to get her," said the man.

He did not understand why the young woman gave them a warning. However, he did not want to die, so he had to play it safe.

Before long, they left to report back to their boss.

Morey's secretary had been trying to capture Huo Yao. The moment he heard that his men had failed, his face crumpled. "It was such a simple task, but you failed. What's the point of having you around?"

"My apologies. The Huo family keeps sending men to follow her, so we were unable to find the chance to take her."

The secretary rubbed his brow. He was completely unsuspecting of their lies. He simply said, "Keep trying."

"Okay."

The secretary's phone rang. He raised his hand and gestured for his subordinates to stay quiet before answering the phone.

It was a call from the person investigating Chairman Min's girlfriend.

After exchanging a few words, they hung up the phone. The secretary received a new email from the investigator on his phone.

He tapped on the email and checked it.

Before long, the secretary straightened his back and his expression changed.

How could this be?

How could she be the girlfriend of the chairman of the Weapons Bureau?

How could she be from the Huo family?

The secretary's mind went blank. He thought about Count Kerr's instructions and hurriedly called the investigator. "About the report you sent… are you sure about it?"

The investigator was a member of Country M's Investigation Bureau. The moment he heard the secretary's suspicions, he frowned. "If you feel something is wrong, you can find someone else to investigate. Even if you get the department director to investigate, I'm quite sure the result will be the same."

The secretary could tell that the other party was angry, so he explained hurriedly. "My bad. I didn't mean to doubt you. I just find this result shocking."

The young woman Count Kerr wanted to meet was surprisingly the same person Fan Shun wanted to see. More importantly, she was even a member of the Huo family and Count Kerr did not get along with them.

The coincidence seemed inconceivable.

The secretary hung up the phone in annoyance.

Morey was still trying to find a way to purchase those weapons. He was hoping to do it by using Chairman Min's girlfriend. From the looks of it now, it was probably going to be hard for him to succeed.

The secretary clutched his phone as he pondered. He simply raised his head again looking at his men who had yet to leave. "Oh yes. Did the Huo family discover our presence today?"

The subordinate felt flustered and clenched his fists slightly as they hung from the sides of his body. Before long, he shook his head calmly. "No, they didn't."

Since they were in an old market area without any surveillance, the secretary would never learn the truth as long as they kept quiet.

The secretary heaved a sigh of relief. "Fine. Got it. You may leave."

If they did not offend her yet, there was still a chance for them to go with this strategy.

His subordinate glanced cautiously at the secretary and bit his lip. In the end, he decided not to say anything and proceeded to leave.

The secretary also failed to detect anything amiss in his flustered state. He stood up and wanted to go to Count Kerr's residence to tell him about this development.
