Miracle Pill Maker Bullies the Boss

Huo Yao linked her hands casually. She paused for two seconds and asked curiously. "Oh yes. You mentioned this was made by the Shangguan family. How did you verify its source?"

"Someone from the Shangguan family brought the medicine to us," explained Zhuo Yun.

Huo Yao frowned automatically. "Is that so?"

Zhuo Yun did not notice anything amiss with Huo Yao, so he simply nodded and said, "I showed the medicine to Chairman Wang from the Apothecaries' Association and he confirmed that it was an ancient prescription. No ordinary apothecary could have made it."

As for its effects, it was impossible for them to put it to the test since it came in such small quantities.

Since the chairman of the Apothecaries' Association had a deep interest in ancient prescriptions, he must be right.

It was impossible to see what Huo Yao was thinking. She nodded without continuing with the subject.

Only the sound of people auctioning coming from outside could be heard in the private room. No one said a word.

After some time, Zhuo Yun heard Yang Yi speaking on the mike. He raised his head, looked at Min Yu, and quickly left the private room.

Finally, Min Yu and Huo Yao were left in the room.

"Are you interested in anything?" asked Min Yu. When Huo Yao heard his voice, she snapped out of her thoughts.

She looked at Min Yu, shook her head, and said, "No money."

Min Yu raised his brow and responded. "Well, I have a decent amount of money in my bank account."

"Are you showing off?" Huo Yao spoke expressionlessly.

Min Yu went speechless.

Huo Yao cleared her throat and ate a snack before she continued looking at the auction downstairs.

Halfway through the auction, Huo Yao went to the bathroom.

When she came out, she did not go straight back to the private room. Instead, she went backstage.

She did not know where the auction items were placed. Since it ought to be heavily guarded, she went toward the most heavily guarded area with the most amount of surveillance cameras.

When she got to the most heavily guarded area, she found that the place had 360 degree surveillance cameras on them and it was impossible to avoid them.

Huo Yao already saw this coming. From the moment she left the bathroom, she had already turned on her signal jammer.

Meanwhile, in the CCTV control room.

After leaving the private room, Zhuo Yun went straight to the CCTV control room and kept monitoring the surveillance.

Yang Yi was also there. He sat in front of the main computer with his arms crossed looking at the huge monitor in front of them.

Everything seemed completely normal and every exit was being guarded by their men. The auction storeroom on the third floor was the only unguarded place.

The auction had been going on for slightly over an hour now.
