Miracle Pill Maker Bullies the Boss

Zhuo Yun coughed and quickly broke the silence in the living room. “If Old Master Min really wants to stay, it’s fine. I can always arrange for more people to follow him in secret.”

Yang Yi asked in confusion. “What happened?”

Zhuo Yun told Yang Yi about how they got tailed on their way back to the estate and explained the current political climate to him.

Yang Yi went quiet for a few seconds before he said, “I agree that it’s better to send Old Master Min home for now.”

Since there was a major power vacuum and everyone was trying to get a piece of the pie, it would be dangerous for Old Master Min to stay here.

“But Old Master Min has such a bad temper…” sighed Zhuo Yun.

The moment they had a disagreement, he refused to eat dinner altogether.

“It’s fine. Even though he has a bad temper, he forgets about it quickly,” said Yang Yi. He paused for a few seconds and continued. “Let me find out who tailed you tonight.”

“Sure. We do need to figure out who was behind it, but it’s not for us. I’m more worried that they might end up setting their eyes on Miss Huo.” Zhuo Yun’s voice sounded somewhat serious.

She was a highly skilled apothecary. More importantly, their boss cared a lot about her, so she was precious to them.

Moreover, they no longer had to worry about Min Yu’s illness with Miss Huo’s treatment.

Yang Yi glanced at Zhuo Yun. “Got it.”

He took the red wine back to the wine cellar.

Zhuo Yun looked at Min Yu and said, “Yu, shall we send some men to protect Miss Huo?”

Min Yu’s face looked calm. A thought crossed his mind, and he shook his head. “It’s fine.”

A distinct look of shock rose on Zhuo Yun’s face. He did not expect his boss to say that.

Zhuo Yun remained stunned for two seconds before he asked him quizzically. “Miss Huo is just a powerless girl. Are you sure?”

Min Yu picked up his chopsticks and ate dinner gracefully. After some time, his voice sounded in the room. “It’s fine.”

“Okay then.” Zhuo Yun touched his nose and stopped probing. Although he did not understand the reason for this decision, he was certain that his boss knew what he was doing.

Meanwhile at the Huo residence. Huo Jinyan looked puzzled when his daughter came home. He had already received news that their men had lost his daughter today.

Huo Changfeng’s men first followed his daughter to the library, then she went into a private vehicle.

It was no big deal for her to use a private car, but the driver shockingly managed to throw them off, and that was quite a feat.

Ordinary folks would be incapable of losing their tail even if they had discovered them since those bodyguards were well-trained. However, the private car managed to shake the tail off and was highly skilled at counter-surveillance.

Who did his daughter get a ride from?

Huo Jinyan concealed his curiosity and asked her casually. “Did you come back by cab?”

Huo Yao placed her bag on the cabinet and replied without noticing her father’s expression. “I got a ride.”

“I see. Was it a friend?” asked Huo Jinyan.

“Uh huh,” acknowledged Huo Yao softly as she walked to the side and poured herself a glass of warm water and took a few sips. She detected her father looking at her strangely, so she could not help narrowing her eyes. “Dad?”
