Chapter 1404 The Man Behind
When Mr. Pei saw Huo Yao suddenly smile, he couldn't help but be stunned.
I feel this smile is weird.
Huo Yao passed by Pei Lao's sight, slowly picked up the teacup and took a sip, without asking more about the Shangguan clan, "So, what are Vice President Qin's conditions?"
Mr. Pei didn't expect Huo Yao to be so insightful and guess the truth so quickly. He smiled bitterly and replied, "Prescription."
When Huo Yao heard this, there was no surprise on her face, as she had already guessed it.
"It's a misfortune for our family. Pei Rong of our family...is now working for Qin Zheng. Qin Zheng is not a kind person."
Mr. Pei actually didn't know much about Qin Zheng and had only met him once or twice, but based on the prescription, he could roughly tell what kind of person he was.
Huo Yao's eyes were indifferent, "I know." Thinking about something, she looked up at Elder Pei again, "If I guess correctly, the news of Min Yu's relapse of his hidden illness also came from Vice President Qin."
Things have come to this point, and Mr. Pei has nothing to hide, "Yes."
Huo Yao nodded. He had heard Zhuo Yun briefly mention Min Yu's hidden illness before. It seemed that it was closely related to Qin Zheng.
Only someone who knows Min Yu's physical condition and pharmacology well can quietly uncover his hidden illness.
As for the person behind Qin Zheng... Huo Yao narrowed his eyes, indicating that he was still a little curious.
Elder Pei looked at Huo Yao and saw that she looked solemn, but he couldn't tell what she was thinking. After a while, he hesitated and said, "Now only the Shangguan clan's medicine can save Young Master Min, Xiao Huo, you..."
Huo Yao suppressed his thoughts and said, "Let me put it this way. If Vice President Qin really knew someone from the Shangguan clan, he wouldn't covet my prescription."
Old Pei was stunned. He had been worrying about the prescription since last night, but he never thought that if Vice President Qin really had the medicine and really knew someone from the Shangguan family, why would he go to so many lengths to plot against the prescription in Huo Yao's hand.
This is indeed contradictory.
"But no matter what, Mr. Min's physical condition..." Mr. Pei opened his mouth and was about to say something when the door of the private room was pushed open and the restaurant waiter came in to serve the dishes.
Suddenly, Mr. Pei stopped talking again.
After the waiter finished serving the dishes and left, Huo Yao seemed to have understood what Mr. Pei was thinking. He picked up his chopsticks and asked, "When do you plan to go back, Mr. Pei?"
Mr. Pei didn't know why Huo Yao suddenly asked this, "Not so fast."
Huo Yao picked up a piece of pork ribs and ate it, then said, "I know the prescription. You don't have to worry about Min Yu's health. You should go back earlier."
Old Pei did not move his chopsticks. He looked in Huo Yao's direction, smiled bitterly and shook his head. How could he not understand the meaning of her words?
Now that Pei Rong has chosen to stand on the side of Vice President Qin, how can he leave with peace of mind at this time?
He couldn't bear to see Pei Rong getting so deeply trapped.

After dinner, Huo Yao returned to school.
As soon as she arrived in the classroom, Liu Gan sent her a message asking her to come to his office.
"Teacher, are you looking for me?" Not long after, Huo Yao knocked on the office door.
Liu Gan looked up at the door and waved at her, motioning her to come in. Then he turned the laptop around so that the screen was facing Huo Yao, "Come, let me show you this email."
Huo Yao approached, raised his eyebrows and glanced at Lao Liu, then fixed his eyes on the computer screen, "What email?"
