Miracle Pill Maker Bullies the Boss



The next day.

Huo Yao and Min Yu left Sangry Town in the morning. Since Councilor Ding was severely injured, he stayed behind to recuperate for a few days.

After they got back, they did not tell anyone else about it.

Huo Yao did not go back to the Huo family and simply told Xie to call her if she was needed.

By the time they arrived at Min Yu's place, it was already 1:00 pm. Prof Min was also there.

He chatted casually with Huo Yao. Since she had entered the floating underground palace with them, he smiled and asked, "Oh yes. What do you think about the floating underground palace?"

Min Yu raised his brow and glanced at Prof Min. He turned around to retrieve a bottle of water, handed it to Huo Yao, and sat down beside her.

"The technology to construct it was available centuries ago, so it was rather incredible." Huo Yao paused briefly and remarked.

"That's true. Too bad everything got destroyed."

Prof Min sighed softly. He thought about the things that had happened in the underground palace and felt sad. He could not help casting his son a death stare.

If his stupid son did not make him go somewhere else, he might have found something of archaeological value in the palace.

Min Yu leaned back casually. He placed his arm on Huo Yao's shoulder and twirled a lock of her hair with his long slender fingers as though he failed to detect the looks from his father. He simply asked, "What did the archaeological team want to find in the underground palace?"

"What else would we want to find in the underground palace? Artifacts of course."

Prof Min sat with his back straight as he continued, "But you're right. We wanted to see if we could find a meteorite in there. Unexpectedly, some mechanism got triggered, so it was a wasted trip."

The underground palace had already collapsed. As for the meteorite, no one knew if it existed.

Saying this, something crossed Prof Min's mind. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Min Yu. "You purposely led me out. You triggered the mechanism, right?"

His son was usually not interested in archaeology. Why would he suddenly want to visit the underground palace?

The more he thought about it, the more he felt this was not a coincidence.

Huo Yao quietly held the bottle of water and drank it.

Min Yu glanced sideways at his girlfriend as she did her utmost to reduce her presence. He let out a powerless sigh and took the fall for it. "I simply accidentally triggered the mechanisms."

Prof Min was not that angry, but the moment he heard "simply", he promptly felt blood surging to his head. He could no longer keep up his refined image. "Don't you have any common sense? How could you randomly touch things in there? You're really killing me…"

Min Yu did not intend on keeping up the argument. He simply veered his head and said to Huo Yao, "Usually, my father is a very refined man."

Huo Yao promptly choked on the water in her mouth and felt astounded.

Prof Min could no longer keep up with the conversation and felt appalled.

With a single sentence, Min Yu made both of them feel awkward.

Prof Min glared at Min Yu coolly. He was unable to continue staying here, so he stood up. "Chairman Sheng wants to talk to me. You guys can continue chatting. I'm heading out."

Huo Yao also stood up. "Bye-bye, Uncle."

Prof Min smiled warmly as he gestured for her not to bother walking him out. Before long, he strode out of the property.

After he was gone, Huo Yao went downstairs to the basement.

The program for the robot she wanted to give Shangguan Yun was not ready yet, so she planned on finishing the job in a couple of days.

Min Yu did not disturb Huo Yao. Instead, he took out the black jade and contemplated for some time. Then, he put away the black jade and went out.
