Miracle Pill Maker Bullies the Boss

As Shangguan Hou's men strode toward Huo Yao, an explosion could be heard from outside. It was so strong that they felt the building shake.

Everyone promptly looked worried.

Just when everyone turned their attention to the explosion, Huo Yao moved at a lightning speed.

She kicked the gunman behind her to the ground. Another gunman stood on the right, but she grabbed his gun barrel before he could react. She pulled gently and the gun was hers.

By the time Shangguan Hou and his men realized what had happened, gunfire echoed through the air. More men fell to the ground in the corridor. If Shangguan Hou did not dodge in time, he would definitely get shot.

Damn it!

Shangguan Hou cursed inwardly. After barely dodging the gunfire, he turned to grab Li Chenhui by the throat tightly. He pulled Li Chenhui in front of him and said coldly, "If you want him to die, you are welcome to try again."

Huo Yao had taken out another gunman. The moment she heard Shangguan Hou's words, she turned her head sideways nonchalantly.

Her senior brother's face red was flushed from the strangulation. He used to be very handsome, but he was in a very bad state now.

Huo Yao narrowed her beautiful eyes coldly as she looked at him.

She walked toward Shangguan Hou.

Shangguan Hou tightened his grip on Li Chenhui's throat upon seeing this and also retreated by a couple of steps.

He knew that Huo Yao was an excellent fighter. Even though he had hostages, it was highly unlikely that he could do anything about her.

It did not matter. Considering the time, it was time to wrap this up.

When Huo Yao approached Shangguan Hou, he smiled cunningly as he suddenly let go of Li Chenhui. In a split second, he pushed Li Chenhui toward the railing before he could steady himself.

At the same time, he kicked the railing hard. Compounded by Li Chenhui's weight and force, the rotting railing could not take the weight and split apart. Li Chenhui was about to fall from the second-floor railing.

The second floor was three meters high. Li Chenhui was bound by rope and he was a full-grown man. If he fell from such height, he would definitely die or get crippled.

Huo Yao did not expect this move from Shangguan Hou. She promptly lunged forward, reached her hands out, and grabbed Li Chenhui by the clothes in the nick of time. Li Chenhui hung from the second floor again.

Huo Yao lay prone on the ground. Blood appeared on her fair hands from the intense abrasion against the tiled floor.

"J-Junior Sister…" Li Chenhui hung from mid-air with his face ghastly pale. "Am I going to die today?"

"If I really die… you can have my share of the cash award. Remember to take it from our teacher…"

Li Chenhui closed his eyes. He trembled as he said his last words to Huo Yao.

Huo Yao went speechless.

"Shut up." Huo Yao gritted her teeth as she pulled him up.

Shangguan Hou was still standing behind Huo Yao. As she held onto Li Chenhui, Shangguan Tong released some undetectable white powder into the air at Huo Yao with a wave of his hand. Some of the powder landed on Huo Yao's arms and face.

The powder on Huo Yao quickly got absorbed and disappeared.

Huo Yao froze briefly. Her grip on Li Chenhui also loosened slightly. In a split second, she acted as though nothing had happened and continued pulling Li Chenhui up.

Upon close scrutiny, her strength had clearly decreased.
