Chapter 1455 The Hope of the Shangguan Clan
When Huo Yao heard the other party say the name "Shangguan Yu", his expression was as calm as usual, and there was not even a trace of emotion in his eyes.
When Lao Wei's pipe appeared at her feet, she knew that her former identity had been exposed.
That's why she followed the cleaning lady here even though she knew it was a trap.
There are no eternal secrets in this world. After she separated herself from the identity of Shangguan Yu, she had already expected this day to come.
Huo Yao suppressed his thoughts, and did not admit his identity, but did not deny it either. He just said, "Let me guess your identity, a traitor of the Shangguan family?"
The man opposite was obviously displeased by Huo Yao's call of "traitor", but before he could open his mouth to speak, he heard the other party's words again.
"Shangguan Hou?" Huo Yao tilted his head. Although he used a guessing tone, it was not difficult to hear the affirmation in it.
Shangguan Hou really didn't expect Huo Yao to call out his name accurately, even though the two had never had a head-on confrontation.
Even if someone had seen him face to face, it was unlikely that anyone would recognize his face now.
After all, Shangguan Wei didn't recognize him before, which led to him falling into his hands.
Shangguan Hou twitched the corners of his lips. No wonder this girl was the hope of the Shangguan family. Her keen insight and skills alone were extraordinary.
It’s just a pity that it fell into his hands again.
Shangguan Hou sneered in his heart, raised his hand, flicked his sleeves slowly with his fingertips, and began to talk about the past as if it were an ordinary chat:
"The Shangguan clan clearly possesses the most advanced medical skills and technology in the world, but they only dare to stay in such an isolated place. Don't you think this is ridiculous and cowardly?"
When Shangguan Hou said this, there was obvious reluctance and dissatisfaction in his tone.
Why can they only hide like gophers, not come out and not reveal any abilities?
In his opinion, saying that it would disrupt the order of the world is just an excuse for being content with mediocrity.
After taking a deep breath, Shangguan Hou looked at Huo Yao and said in a bewitching voice: "Don't you want to show what you know and let everyone look up to you and respect you?"
"Oh, I don't want to." Huo Yao's delicate face showed no emotion, and his voice sounded calm and indifferent. "Only people without ability would desperately try to show themselves off to prove that they are more incompetent."
Shangguan Hou just shook his head, not angry, "The fact is that your arrogance will only bring you disaster."
"Really?" Huo Yao shrugged, still holding the pipe in her hand. She didn't say any more nonsense to Shangguan Hou, "Where is Lao Wei?"
"It's not easy to find out where he is," Shangguan Hou said, raising his wrist to check the time, and then added with a half-smile, "Don't worry, you will meet soon."
He was counting down the time in his mind, counting down the time for the drug to take effect.
Huo Yao knew that Shangguan Hou had not brought her here just to express his unwillingness. She pursed her lips and said nonchalantly, "You don't think I will fall for your medicine again?"
Every time she uses this kind of colorless and odorless medicine, with no new tricks, isn't that too much of a disrespect to her?
Shangguan Hou was not surprised that Huo Yao saw through this. Instead, he replied arrogantly: "The same method can catch you once, so it can naturally be used a second time."
