1732 Huo Qing Came With Bad Intentions
Huo Yao detected Min Yu looking at her, so she automatically raised her head and glanced sideways to the left at him.
“The necklace.” Min Yu leaned against the chair. “Are you wearing it?”
Huo Yao went quiet.
Sure enough, it was a mistake to lie to him. She might end up slapping herself in the face at any moment.
Huo Yao cleared her throat. She straightened her back without the slightest hesitation. “Erm. I think I lost it when I tried to save my senior brothers.”
It was a rather unusual situation. Considering her level of alertness, she should have noticed it when she lost the necklace. After she woke up and discovered the necklace missing, she could not remember where she dropped it, no matter how hard she tried.
Fortunately, it was not the same pendant from her grandmother. Otherwise, she would have probably lost it.
Min Yu watched as Huo Yao spoke calmly. He sighed softly before placing a set of new cutlery in front of her. “Fine then. Time to eat.”
Huo Yao blinked and wanted to explain. “I don’t know how I lost it.”
Min Yu contemplated as he nodded. “Don’t worry. I will give you another necklace in a couple of days.”
When he found out that Huo Yao’s grandmother had given her the necklace for special reasons, he got the necklace tested professionally. Even though the pendant’s material was normal, he discovered that someone else was looking for a necklace of the same pattern as well.
He thought about it and decided to get similar jade and made similar pendants. He also wondered if jade with similar attributes could give the same effect.
Huo Yao had gone into a coma with a low fever last year, but no one knew why it happened.
Hence, Old Madam Yang’s jade pendant was very important.
Huo Yao quietly glanced at Min Yu before she picked up her chopsticks to eat.
After eating, Huo Yao went back to the room for a shower and felt a lot better.
Min Yu sat on the couch texting Zhuo Yun. When Huo Yao came out, he sent out the final text message and put away his phone. “Are you heading to the hospital?”
“Uh huh,” acknowledged Huo Yao. “I wonder how the kid is doing now.”
“Other than slight weakness from the blood loss, he’s fine. Zhuo Yun is there to look after him, so don’t worry. He’s going to be fine.” Min Yu got up from the couch. “Let’s go. I’ll take you there.”
Huo Yao glanced at him but did not refuse him.
The hospital was nearby. It took just seven to eight minutes by foot, so they did not drive the car over.
It was already midnight, so there were hardly any people or cars on the streets. The street lamps left long shadows in their wake and the atmosphere felt warm and fuzzy.
Suddenly, a few high beams could be seen on the streets. The speeding cars left a loud noise disrupting the silence.
Three black cars swiftly drove past Huo Yao and Min Yu heading straight for the hospital.
Huo Yao raised her brow. She raised her head to glance over but she was unable to see anything and the cars simply disappeared out of sight.
The streets went back to their usual silence at night.

Meanwhile, at the hospital.
Three black cars pulled up at the hospital entrance. Someone quickly got out of the driver’s seat, walked to the backseat, and opened the car door.
“Master Qing.”
Huo Qing got off the car unhurriedly dressed in a black suit as he played with a string of Buddha beads in his hand. He raised his head looking at the hospital entrance and his lips curved upward slightly. He proceeded to walk to the hospital.
His subordinate followed closely behind him.
