Chapter 1312: Problems In The Association

Meanwhile, at the hospital.

Another day had passed.

Min Yu had been staying at the hospital for the past few days. All his work was sent to the hospital by Zhuo Yun.

Zhuo Yun came over with some documents in the morning as usual.

After putting down the documents, he turned to look at Huo Yao lying in bed. He asked solemnly. “Is Miss Huo still unconscious?”

Min Yu sat leaning against the window rubbing his brows. His face looked haggard and he had lost some weight.

“Did Chairman Wang get back to you?” asked Min Yu.

Zhuo Yun shook his head. He contemplated and said, “Shall I call him right now?”

Min Yu continued working as he acknowledged him.

Zhuo Yun stepped aside and took out his phone. He quickly swiped down to Chairman Wang’s phone number and pressed the dial button.

After ringing a couple of times, the phone stopped ringing.

Zhuo Yun felt puzzled, so he tried again, but the result was the same.

Min Yu tilted his head sideways and looked at him. “Yes?”

Zhuo Yun raised his head quizzically. “I don’t know why he’s not answering his phone.”

Min Yu narrowed his eyes.

Zhuo Yun paused briefly before he lowered his head to contact the chairman some other way. “I probably have his assistant’s number on my phone. Let me try calling him.”

He made yet another call.

Assistant Wang quickly answered the phone.

Zhuo Yun explained the reason he was called immediately. “Has Chairman Wang found a way to treat the patient?”

Assistant Wang raised his head and glanced towards Deputy Chairman Qin’s office before he replied softly. “I’m sorry. A lot of things are going on in the association. I doubt Chairman Wang has the time to treat your friend.”

Zhuo Yun frowned promptly. Just as he was about to say more, Assistant Wang hung up the phone.

“How did it go?” asked Min Yu looking at Zhuo Yun.

Zhuo Yun held onto his phone quietly for a couple of seconds before he replied. “Something does not seem to be right. The assistant mentioned the chairman was very busy, and he did not have time to treat Miss Huo.”

He had spoken to Chairman Wang’s assistant over the phone previously and he did not sound distant like this.

Min Yu contemplated. The last time Huo Yao was at the Apothecaries’ Association for the apothecaries’ test, he could tell there was animosity between the leaders of the association.

Also, the chairman did not look good yesterday.

“Perhaps they are facing some kind of internal power struggle,” suggested Min Yu.

“A power struggle?” Zhuo Yun raised his head. No wonder Assistant Wang sounded strange over the phone. He paused before he continued. “Do you think the chairman is in trouble?”

Min Yu replied. “Perhaps.”

Zhuo Yun contemplated and glanced at the hospital bed. He said, “Let me find out. Miss Huo is still unconscious, so we can’t let anything happen to the chairman.”

“Uh huh,” acknowledged Min Yu softly before he asked. “Any updates about Shangguan Yu?”

Zhuo Yun shook his head. “Nope. It feels as though he has disappeared completely.”

Min Yu flicked his fingers gently. “Keep investigating.”

Zhuo Yun responded. “Got it.”

If Miss Huo remained unconscious and the chairman could not help, they could only pin their hopes on the Shangguan clan.

Before long, Zhuo Yun left the hospital ward.

After he was gone, the phone sitting on the bedside table vibrated.

It was Huo Yao’s phone.

Min Yu got up, took the phone, and looked at the caller ID. When he saw the caller’s name, he answered the phone without hesitation.
