Miracle Pill Maker Bullies the Boss

Huo Yulin was stunned and only managed to squeeze out a response after a few moments. “Didn’t you promise to lend it to me for a couple of days?”

“Young Master Yulin, you are mistaken. That is impossible.” Huo Changfeng denied it with a straight face.

Huo Yulin did not know what to say.

How could he shamelessly go back on his word?

When did Uncle Changfeng become like this?

Huo Changfeng cleared his throat before he rapped the table with his hand once more and gestured for Huo Yulin to hand the keys over.

Huo Yulin raised his head with complicated emotions running through his heart. “Uncle Changfeng, you can’t go back on your word just because my little sister isn’t around.”

Whatever it was, Huo Changfeng had watched Huo Yulin grow up and was like an elder to him.

“Uh huh,” said Huo Changfeng softly before his voice was filled with disdain. “Young Master Yulin, I have to say this. You are an adult. How can you compare yourself to your sister?”

Huo Yulin went speechless.

It was true. Love could disappear one day.

Huo Yulin handed back the car keys before he had even warmed them in his pocket.

He simply did not want to get hurt by Huo Changfeng again.

He could empathize with what Huo Tingrui and Huo Xiang felt when his parents gave Huo Yao differential treatment at home.

When Huo Yao returned from the ladies, the atmosphere in the private room seemed pleasant and it was impossible for her to detect anything amiss. She raised her brow before she pulled out a chair and sat down.

After eating, Huo Changfeng wanted to continue chatting with Huo Yao. Unfortunately, he received several calls from his subordinates, and had to leave before long.

Chen Ming was standing at the entrance waiting for them when Huo Yao and Huo Yulin left the restaurant. He seemed slightly worried. However, it was nearly undetectable without close scrutiny.

Huo Yao pondered for a couple of seconds before she said, “Uncle Ming, why don’t you go ahead? I can get a ride from my third older brother.”

Chen Ming looked at Huo Yao and pondered for a couple of seconds before he nodded without hesitation.

Huo Yao acknowledged him softly.

Before long, Chen Ming drove off.

Huo Yulin felt concerned when he noticed the look on Chen Ming’s face. However, he suppressed his expression the moment Huo Yao turned to look at him and said, “Give me a minute. I will bring the car over.”

The moment he finished his sentence, he went to the parking lot.

After getting into the car, he did not start the engine right away. Instead, he took out his phone and quickly called Chen Ming.

Uncle Changfeng had answered the phone several times when he was in the private room, so something had clearly happened.

Before long, the phone got through.

Chen Ming seemed to be expecting Huo Yulin’s call, so he said candidly, “Someone smuggled a batch of weapons using our name. Also, it was done using our channels. Now, the government has confiscated the weapons and the chief steward has gone over to handle things.”

Huo Yulin frowned the moment he heard this. “Was it an inside job?

“We are not sure for now. It is still under investigation.” Chen Ming sounded serious and looked angry. He paused before he added. “Young Master Yulin, don’t worry. The chief steward will take care of this.”

Huo Yulin acknowledged softly. “Let me know if anything happens then.”

“Okay.”

Huo Yulin hung up the phone and contemplated for a couple of seconds before he started the engine and drove out of the parking lot.

After Huo Yao got into the car, she did not pay attention to her third older brother’s expression. She simply took out her phone and replied to Yang Yi’s text message.

[I am out, so I don’t have a laptop. Is this urgent?]

Yang Yi hurriedly replied when he saw her message: [Yes, it’s quite urgent. Miss Huo, when will you be free?]

Huo Yao touched the screen before she replied: [In about 20 minutes.]
