Old Master Yi glanced at Yang Yi before he crisply placed a black chess piece on the board.
Yang Yi’s legs trembled when he saw this and automatically sat down with his back straight and looked as though he was focused on playing chess.
Zhuo Yun went speechless while following Min Yu inside the house.
Fortunately, he was not the one who stole the tea.
Min Yu glanced at the chessboard before he placed the plastic cylinder on the square coffee table by the side.
Old Master Min looked sideways and glanced at the object on the coffee table. He instantly pursed his lips when he saw the cookie images on the container. “Why did you buy cookies? Don’t you know that I don’t like to eat them?”
Min Yu sat down on the couch. His face seemed elegant under the light and he casually leaned into the seat. “They are not cookies.”
Old Master Min asked him with a frown. “Then what are they?”
Min Yu rubbed his forehead. He closed his eyes and replied nonchalantly. “Take a look yourself.”
Old Master Min’s hand stopped in mid-air while reaching for a chess piece. Instead, he turned to pick up the plastic cylinder.
Since its contents were pletely covered by the container, nothing could be seen.
He twisted the lid open to see that it was incense and was stunned.
He raised his head and asked him. “Is this incense...”
The moment he asked, Zhuo Yun explained. “Miss Huo wanted to give you the incense.”
Min Yu’s hand paused in the middle of rubbing his forehead. He opened his eyes and glanced at Zhuo Yun.
Zhuo Yun failed to notice his boss’s reaction and continued. “Miss Huo heard that you were unable to sleep well, so she sent this for you.”
Old Master Min looked at Zhuo Yun quizzically. “Would she be this kind?”
There was no way he would believe that.
Zhuo Yun instantly defended Huo Yao solemnly. “Miss Huo is pretty, kind, and has a good temper.”
Yang Yi glanced at Zhuo Yun quietly. There went the fanatic again on his bootlicking spree.
Old Master Min’s lips twitched. Sure, he agreed that she was pretty. But was she kind? Or had a good temper?
Was she not the one who insisted on driving him away and threatening to hit him?
Old Master Min smelled the incense. Apart from the sandalwood, there was some Chinese medicine in it. It ought to be the same one that she used on him the other day.
Old Master Min closed the lid and stood up. He stopped playing chess and went upstairs with the incense.
After Old Master Min left, Yang Yi finally relaxed. He rubbed his stiff knees without a word of plaint.
In parison to dealing with Old Master Min, he would rather go to Africa to dig ore in the mines.
Zhuo Yun patted Yang Yi’s shoulder. “Bro, you had a tough time.”
Yang Yi pushed Zhuo Yun’s hand away expressionlessly. He was clearly telling Zhuo Yun to get lost.
Zhuo Yun touched his nose as he walked around the couch armrest. He should not have provoked him since he was in a bad mood. Hence, he deliberately sat as far away as he could from Yang Yi.
Yang Yi glanced at Min Yu. He recalled something and said, “Yu, the Huo family is probably using DO Corporation’s security system.”
“How is that possible? Don’t they only do business at the national level for a few select countries? How could they use it for their villa? Did you make a mistake?” said Zhuo Yun in shock.
DO Corporation was the top most security pany in the world. They possessed the most advanced hacking technology and owned most of the global market for internet-enabled terminals. The Min family had approached them several times asking to work with them, but were sadly turned down, every time.
It seemed unfathomable for the Huo family to have the DO Corporation’s security system installed at their home.
