Zhuo Yun paused briefly before he looked at her and asked. “Do you know about Cloud Realm?”
“Randomly heard about it before.” Huo Yao nodded without giving any explanation and got out of the car.
Zhuo Yun looked out of the car window and watched Huo Yao leave. He finally veered his eyes when she disappeared into the villa entrance.
He did not expect her to ask him about Cloud Realm.
No wonder she seemed pletely unsurprised when he mentioned Cloud Realm to the boss.
Zhuo Yun gathered his thoughts, started the car engine, and drove off.

The next day, Chen Ming informed Huo Yao that Huo Yulin was back from the medical conference.
After leaving the airport, they did not go home right away. Instead, they went over to the university to pick her up first since it was on the way.
When Huo Yao got into the car, she turned to look at Huo Yulin and asked. “Brother Yulin, are you finally back?”
After all, Huo Yulin had just suffered from a fatal injury. Even though a week had already passed and he was recovering, Huo Yulin still looked pale. Since his plexion was already very fair, his condition was almost unnoticeable.
...
Huo Yulin nodded in response. He leaned into the seat backrest. “Like I said, I was sent abroad to attend a medical conference last minute, but it’s all done now.”
Huo Yao acknowledged and acted along with him. “You look good. Since you’re done with the conference, you should take some time off and rest at home.”
“Sure.” Huo Yulin leaned against the car window with his eyes lowered and did his utmost to act normal.
Chen Ming furtively glanced into the rearview mirror. Huo Yulin was pretending that everything was normal and Huo Yao was acting along. He had to say that their performance was worthy of an Oscar award.
Before long, Huo Yulin’s phone rang in his pocket.
It was from the institute. He narrowed his eyes slightly before answering the phone.
“Uh huh. Now? Okay. On my way back now.”
After hanging up the phone, Huo Yulin pondered worriedly before putting away the phone. He looked at Huo Yao and said, “I have to go to the institute. Uncle Ming will send you back on your own.”
The moment he finished his sentence, he told Chen Ming to drop him by the roadside so that he could hail a cab.
Huo Yao frowned and said, “I’m not doing anything special tonight. We can drop you at the institute first before sending me home. It really doesn’t make a difference to me.”
Chen Ming promptly chimed in and agreed. “Miss Huo is right. We’re only 30 minutes away from the institute, so it’s very convenient.”
Huo Yulin glanced at Chen Ming sitting in the driver’s seat. He knew Chen Ming was worried about his physical condition. He paused briefly and stopped insisting on going there by himself. “Okay then.”
“Brother Yulin, you just got back. Why do they need you at the institute?” Huo Yao asked curiously with her arm leaning against the car window.
Huo Yulin thought about the call he had just received from the section chief and said, “They need my help to conduct a surgery.”
Huo Yao frowned even harder after hearing this.
If Huo Yulin was just going back to handle something minor, his body could probably take it. Unfortunately, he was going back to help with the surgery. He needed to be mentally and physically strong in order to conduct surgery.
Considering his condition, he could probably conduct the operation for 30 minutes. If the surgery went on for too long, his wounds might split open.
The moment the injuries split open, Huo Yulin would bee a prime suspect for breaking into the institute. More importantly, his life was at risk and even gods could not save him.
Huo Yao felt annoyed. She said sternly, “You just got back home. Do you have the energy to conduct surgery?”
