Huo Xiang turned sideways to look at Huo Yao after Tong Yu started to drive. After a long time, he finally asked her. “Yao, have you undergone training in medicine?”
Huo Yao was playing with her phone with her head leaning against the car door. She replied without raising her head. “Uh huh. A little.”
Huo Xiang and Tong Yu were quiet when they heard her say, ‘a little’.
She had managed to cure Huo Xiang by giving him a nondescript medication when all the other hospitals had been defeated in front of his illness. If this was considered just a little medical knowledge, where would all the other Western and Chinese physicians in the world stand?
Fortunately, she only said it to them. If she said it in front of Old Mr. Pei, he might have chased her away on the spot.
She was simply asking for a beating.
“So did you always know about my injury?” Huo Xiang could not help wanting to know the truth.
Huo Yao raised her brow and did not deny it. “Uh huh.”
Huo Xiang touched his nose. Despite his earlier guess, he found it shocking to hear it directly from her mouth.
After all, his little sister managed to solve something that even their third older brother could not. It was inconceivable.
“Did you go for a checkup at the hospital?” asked Huo Yao. Her silly fourth older brother would not have asked her this otherwise.
“Nope. Yu knows an old Chinese physician. He took my pulse and said I was fine,” replied Huo Xiang candidly.
Huo Yao did not think much of it. She only told him in a serious tone. “You have to be more careful. Don’t fall into these traps again.”
Tong Yu slapped the steering wheel furiously in the driver’s seat up front. “I wonder who the mastermind was. How could he do something so evil?”
Huo Xiang pursed his lips. “The person who stands to gain the most if something happens to me is the most likely suspect.
“We can’t let them get away with this,” said Tong Yu in a stifled tone.
Huo Yao raised her brow. Then she suggested airily. “Why don’t you beat him at his own game?”
Tong Yu’s eyes lit up. “That’s a good idea. If we don’t find out who the culprit is, history might repeat itself.”
Huo Yao smiled. Then she looked out of the window without saying anything further.

After Lu Xia arrived at the Lu residence, she shut herself in the room without having dinner.
She did her utmost to think about the things that happened to the Huo family in her past life. Then she retrieved her phone and sent her agent a text message.
[Brother Tian, do you know anyone in Chang Entertainment?]
Huo Xiang was in Chang Entertainment.
Brother Tian quickly replied: [Yeah, but why are you asking this, Xiaxia?]
He recalled Lu Xia’s older brother was with Chang Entertainment.
Lu Xia: [Can you get me a contact number?]
Brother Tian did not put much thought into it since Lu Xia had signed a ten year contract with their pany.
He sent Lu Xia the contact details of the agent from Chang Entertainment whom he was acquainted with.
Lu Xia quickly added Brother Tian’s contact in Chang Entertainment to her phone book. After asking around, she finally obtained Jin Xuyuan’s contact number.
Lu Xia’s eyes went sullen as she looked at the number on her phone. Huo Xiang’s cold and distant face floated before her eyes. Even after she swallowed her pride to beg him, he pletely disregarded any familial ties.
Since Huo Xiang had severed ties with Lu Xia, there was no reason for her to play nice anymore.
Lu Xia’s lips curved into a mocking smile as she hit the dial button.
