Miracle Pill Maker Bullies the Boss
1580 The Mastermind
He Xiaoman pretended not to hear the coldness in Lu Xia's voice and continued in a hesitant tone. "I need to talk to you about your father. The Lu family…"
Lu Xia's eyes turned icy cold. She was not interested in hearing anything about the family. "Enough. I'm going into the laboratory now."
The moment she finished her sentence, she hung up the phone.
When the Lu family went bankrupt, everyone in the clan blamed it on her. Now that life had taken a good turn for her, the people in her family conveniently wanted her back. Did they think she was an idiot?
Lu Xia scoffed out loud. Just as she was about to put down the phone, it rang again.
She assumed it was still He Xiaoman, so she pressed the power button without even looking at the screen to turn off the phone.
After she was done, Lu Xia felt a lot better and entered the bathroom.

Meanwhile, on the other end.
Zhuo Yun spun the weapon in his hand nonchalantly with a foot in the chair and his body leaning forward. He looked languidly at the middle-aged man sitting slumped on the ground.
The middle-aged man looked scared. The moment he heard a notification indicating the phone was switched off, cold sweat broke from his forehead and his body turned cold. He trembled as he looked at Zhuo Yun. "The… the phone is off."
Zhuo Yun narrowed his eyes and said in an intimidating tone, "Is the phone off?"
The middle-aged man cringed as he hurriedly handed the phone to Zhuo Yun. "If you don't believe me, you can try. I really can't get in touch with the person."
Zhuo Yun did not bother taking the phone. Instead, he raised his head to look at Yang Yi nearby. "Yi, what about you? Any headway?"
Yang Yi looked at the laptop monitor with a serious look on his face as he tapped the keyboard quickly. After some time, he finally raised his head. "I've tracked it down."
Zhuo Yun put down his foot from the chair and strode over quickly to Yang Yi. "Where?"
Yang Yi blew up the map on the laptop screen. He had gone as far as locating the exact street address. "Sirin University."
Zhuo Yun was stunned. "Why there? Are you sure?"
Yang Yi's face promptly turned dark.
Zhuo Yun crossed an arm and rubbed his chin with his other hand. He did not quite understand the situation. "Revenge seems the most likely reason for this to happen. Miss Huo usually keeps a low profile. Why would she have any enemies?"
Just as Yang Yi was about to speak, something crossed his mind. He could not help looking at Zhuo Yun.
"Lu Xia."
"Lu Xia!"
Zhuo Yun and Yang Yi spoke in unison.
If someone at Sirin University knew Huo Yao, it had to be Lu Xia. Also, she had good reason to do this.
"I don't get it. If Lu Xia was behind this, why would she attempt abducting Miss Huo while she's abroad?" Zhuo Yun pondered and said, "I don't think it's just vengeance. I'm sure she knows it's not easy for her to seek revenge."
"Let's not forget that someone is helping her," said Yang Yi.
"From the looks of it, this is no simple matter." Zhuo Yun scratched his head and took out his phone. "I'm going to call up Boss."
Yang Yi agreed. He leaned into the seat as he looked at the computer screen.
Miss Huo seemed to have a lot of secrets.
Zhuo Yun was right. If Lu Xia wanted to seek vengeance, she would not choose to do it now. Someone must be helping her.
Moreover, Miss Huo was dating their boss. Perhaps their real target was him.
