1744 Killing Her Brother
Shangguan Wei thought Shangguan Tong would never touch the ID she used in the outside world.
From the looks of it, something had happened making her break her rules.
Shangguan Wei did not ask and simply said, “Just go. The elders and I are around to watch over the clan.”
Shangguan Tong went quiet briefly and nodded. “Thanks.”
!!
“It has been hard on you all these years.” Shangguan Wei sighed.
If not for her status as the clan leader, she would not have ended up this way.
Shangguan Tong veered her head slightly. After posing herself, she simply said, “I’m leaving then.”
“Okay.”
Shangguan Wei nodded. He watched as Shangguan Tong walked off. After she was pletely out of sight, he finally veered his eyes.

Meanwhile, on the other end.
Huo Yao put away her phone when Aunt Tong did not respond.
She glanced sideways at Shangguan Yun lying on the bed and said nothing for a moment.
Shangguan Yun felt his head going numb from her staring. He automatically asked warily. “Why are you looking at me this way?”
Huo Yao raised her brow. She crossed her legs and sat down nonchalantly. “Nothing.”
“I don’t believe you.” Shangguan Yun had a feeling that Huo Yao was secretly brewing something.
Huo Yao disregarded the look on Shangguan Yun’s face. She changed the subject. “What did the school say about you?”
“School’s easy. The principal talked to me about it. I can study from home and take the college entrance exam.” Shangguan Yun shrugged.
In hindsight, it was just a month and a half away from the college entrance exam.
Huo Yao nodded. “Okay then.”
Huo Yao paused briefly, took out her phone, and sent her third older brother a text message. She wanted to ask him where he purchased the study materials that he gave her the year before.
He was still a student, so his top priority was to study hard.
Three boxes of revision material and challenging questions were the bare minimum for him now.
Shangguan Yun did not know the kind of danger waiting for him in the near future. He simply asked. “Can I talk to you about something?”
Huo Yao did not even look up. “Yes?”
“Ahem ahem. Those guys you sent to play video games with me. Can you tell them to leave?” Shangguan Yun looked miserable.
Rather than saying they were here to play video games with him, they were sent to sabotage him.
He could probably play video games better than them using his feet alone.
Huo Yao raised her head and agreed without the slightest resistance. “Okay.”
When she readily agreed to Shangguan Yun’s request, he was taken aback. He was totally unaccustomed to such a reaction from her.
This clearly was not her style.
When Huo Yao received Huo Yulin’s text message, she stood up smiling and seemed in a good mood. “Rest well. I’m going to see the hospital president.”
Shangguan Yun’s eyelids suddenly twitched.

After chatting with his little sister, Huo Yulin called his old assistant located abroad.
He told his assistant to prepare the revision material as soon as possible.
Huo Yulin got back to work after talking to the assistant. He needed to check some information, so he went to the high-level archives.
Ever since the research archive theft incident, Huo Yulin had succeeded in pletely clearing his name. Also, his research team had made contributions at work during this time, so he got a small promotion at the National Academy of Medicine.
In the past, he only had access to the general archives. Now, he had clearance to enter the high-level archives.
It was already Huo Yulin’s seventh trip to the high-level archives today. Thanks to the incident last year, the locks on the archives now required multiple people to verify before the door could open.
The place was clearly very high security.
The archives even had a 360-degree surveillance system installed in the room.
