Huo Yao narrowed her eyes slightly and pondered for a few seconds before she pursed her lips and said calmly, “Thanks. I will take care of this, so just stay out of it.”

The Dean hurriedly said, “It’s okay, Huo Yao. Since the incident took place in the school, it might be easier if the school handled the issue.”

She was a sensible student with remarkable grades who never troubled the school. There was no way he would believe that she hurt the old man!

He did not know how the old man could bear to blackmail Huo Yao.

It was absolutely despicable of him!

“It’s okay. I don’t think it’s appropriate for the school to get involved. I will take care of it, so don’t worry.” Huo Yao turned down the Dean’s kind offer.

She did not know why the old man chose her as a prey. But did she look like an easy target to him?

Huo Yao laughed coldly in her heart.

He was simply naïve!

Old Master Min suddenly sneezed loudly in the hospital.

“Sure enough, it’s a bad idea to stay here, considering all the germs.” Old Master Min frowned in disdain.

He pulled out his phone and tapped on the call history to call the number that he had already tried over 100 times.

However, someone surprisingly answered the call this time around.

After Huo Yao left the Dean’s office, she headed back to class.

Even though the Dean offered to let her take the day off to explain the matter to the old man at the hospital, she turned him down.

The old man had already coerced $800 worth of hospital expenses out of her. How dare he hold her studies up now?

She wasn’t going to let him have his way!

Hence, Huo Yao calmly stayed in school until lunchtime and borrowed $100 cash from Meng Ying to take a cab to the hospital after finishing her meal.

Huo Yao looked a little vexed when she saw the empty hospital ward with the blankets neatly folded on the bed.

She walked over to the nurses’ station and asked politely. “Where is the old man from room 302?”

“Oh, he already got discharged this morning. Didn’t he get in touch with you?”

She was the same nurse who was on duty yesterday and remembered Huo Yao. It was her who had taken Huo Yao’s money and bought the old man some apples on the previous day.

Huo Yao narrowed her brows and contemplated for two seconds before she asked the nurse. “Did he leave the hospital on his own, or did a family member get him discharged?”

“It was a young couple who took care of the discharge papers. They were probably his family,” replied the nurse.

Huo Yao chuckled in her heart when she heard the news.

Sure enough, old geezers were liars.

Just yesterday, he claimed to be an old man living on his own.

“But the old man seemed very pitiful since no one visited him last night. He got so hungry that he came out looking for food in the middle of the night, so my colleague made him some instant noodles. He was so famished that he even drank all the soup. Sigh! Kids these days can be so uncaring.”

The nurse lamented.

Huo Yao went quiet.

Suddenly the nurse realized that she might have talked too much, so she smiled sheepishly and said, “Don’t take it to heart. I wasn’t talking about you. After all, you aren’t related to the old man.”

The nurse simply thought that Huo Yao was a kind soul who had sent the old man to the hospital.

Huo Yao thanked the nurse before heading out of the hospital.

On her way back to school, Huo Yao kept contemplating over the issue. The old man called the school in the morning, threatening that he would make trouble for them. So why did he suddenly get discharged?

Did he feel bad about blackmailing her?

She felt that this was an unlikely scenario.
