Huo Yao’s brow twitched slightly and acknowledged him before hanging up the phone.

Before long, she walked out of the Biology department. She raised her head and saw the car parked by the roadside.

Min Yu was leaning against the car door lazily with his hand in his coat pocket while he spun his phone with the other. When he saw Huo Yao, he stood up straight.

“Aren’t you supposed to be sick? Wouldn’t you cause suspicion by showing up outside the school?” sneered Huo Yao softly as she approached him.

Min Yu put away his phone, opened the front passenger seat car door, and smiled ambiguously. “I have to make money if I want to marry you.”

Huo Yao’s cheek twitched awkwardly. She got into the front passenger seat quietly.

Min Yu smiled. The smile on his face softened his features. After closing the front passenger car door, he got into the driver’s seat.

Before long, he drove out of Tsing University.

“Oh yes. Old Mr. Pei came by to see me in the afternoon.” Huo Yao played with the corner of her shirt nonchalantly. “He said Deputy Chairman Qin from the Apothecaries’ Association has meds made by the Shangguan clan which might help with your sickness.”

Min Yu paused for a couple of seconds and asked quizzically. “Why didn’t Old Mr. Pei contact me directly?”

“Qin Zheng wants my prescriptions.” Huo Yao shrugged and continued. “From the looks of it, someone probably made you fall sick for this reason.”

Min Yu stepped on the brake since the red light was on. After the car stopped, he said, “That’s not entirely true.”

The culprit probably did it to give him a warning and wanted to take Huo Yao’s prescriptions while they were at it.

After all, Min Yu had been searching high and low for the mastermind behind his condition. Now that the culprit suddenly resurfaced, it was clear what he wanted out of this.

Min Yu looked straight ahead with his hands on the steering wheel. “They don’t want me to get involved with the Apothecaries’ Association.”

Huo Yao raised her brow and instantly caught his drift. “Is Qin Zheng worried you might help Chairman Wang?”

“Perhaps.” Min Yu started driving once the light turned green. “Chairman Wang probably can’t continue working as the chairman considering his poor health. Everyone is naturally eyeing his position.”

Huo Yao nodded and looked out the car window. After chatting briefly, she realized they were not going back to the estate. She could not help turning to ask him. “Where are we going?”

“We’re going for dinner,” said Min Yu. His phone rang halfway as it sat nearby. He checked the caller ID before answering it.

It was a call from Zhuo Yun.

Huo Yao stopped talking.

Before long, the car pulled up at a posh restaurant. He had already reserved a private room, so the restaurant manager showed them to the room on the second floor the moment they got there.

After ordering their food, Zhuo Yun came over. He nodded and greeted Huo Yao. He disregarded her presence and spoke candidly to Min Yu. “Qin Zheng does have some special connections. He’s linked to a company called Cutting Edge Group.”

“Huh?” Min Yu narrowed his eyes. He pondered briefly but realized that he had never heard about the company before. “What else do you know about the company?”

Zhuo Yun handed the investigation report to Min Yu and said, “It’s a headhunting company from overseas. They are involved in a lot of industries, but they keep a low profile in the market. All I know is that it’s an ordinary company.”

Since they were busy talking, no one noticed the look on Huo Yao’s face when she heard about Cutting Edge Group.
