Chapter 1297: Shangguan Yu
??
Min Yu smiled and looked at Zhuo Yun. “What’s his name?”
“Shangguan Yu,” replied Zhuo Yun quickly.
Huo Yao’s face twitched the moment she heard the name.
“Shangguan Yu?” Min Yu leaned against the couch with his arms crossed. A few seconds later, he replied. “Sounds familiar.”
Zhuo Yun glanced at Huo Yao and explained. “When you were unwell, we searched high and low for good doctors. We found out Shangguan Yu might be a descendant of the Shangguan clan. Since Miss Huo was able to treat you, we stopped searching for this person after that.”
More importantly, they were unable to get anywhere with the investigation of Shangguan Yu. Also, Huo Yao had found a way to treat Min Yu, so it made no sense to continue finding Shangguan Yu especially since no one knew if the person was real or fiction.
If Min Yu did not order the investigation, Zhuo Yun would have forgotten the name by now.
Min Yu finally recalled where he had heard the name. “Does this mean that the person genuinely exists?”
“Since Cloud Realm has confirmed the name, Shangguan Yu definitely exists.” Zhuo Yun nodded. “I am yet to make any headway in finding Shangguan Yu.”
Min Yu narrowed his eyes and said mildly, “Since he comes from a secretive family, it’s no surprise that you can’t find him.”
...
“Even then, it still sounds weird. If Shangguan Yu doesn’t want anyone to find him, why would he put the medicine on auction? He even volunteered details of his background. Why would he do that?” said Zhuo Yun as he contemplated.
Something was clearly wrong.
“Perhaps someone is just pretending to be him?” said Huo Yao as she shrugged.
Zhuo Yun and Min Yu looked sideways at her.
Huo Yao blinked and replied. “Just a suggestion.”
She looked completely calm.
Zhuo Yun felt Huo Yao made sense as well. He nodded. “Well, it’s certainly possible. After all, no one is able to confirm the existence of Shangguan Yu.”
Since Shangguan Yu had never appeared publicly before, anyone could pretend to be him and get away with it.
Min Yu contemplated before glancing at Huo Yao.
Huo Yao said someone was pretending to be Shangguan Yu. From the looks of it, she knew something about the family.
Perhaps she might even know the real Shangguan Yu.
Min Yu rapped his fingers gently on his knee for some time before he said to Zhuo Yun. “Continue investigating.”
“Okay then.” Zhuo Yun nodded. He glanced at Huo Yao and Min Yu and noticed he was being the third wheel. He said, “In that case, I’ll be on my way.”
It would not kill Zhuo Yun if he played gooseberry, but it was considered a double kill to hang around since he happened to be a singleton.
Min Yu said nothing. Huo Yao yawned and stood up from the couch. “Can you give me a ride back? It’s time for me to go back as well.”
Zhuo Yun automatically looked at his boss and waited for him to approve.
Min Yu looked at Huo Yao and replied. “Sure.”
Huo Yao nodded. She took the books from the coffee table and left the villa with Zhuo Yun before long.
Zhuo Yun had driven over. Min Yu and Huo Yao’s villas were relatively close, so it was just a two minute drive over.
After getting out of the car, Huo Yao turned her head and asked. “You mentioned that someone working for Cloud Realm gave you the intel. Who was it?”
Zhuo Yun still had his hand on the steering wheel. He was caught by surprise when he heard Huo Yao’s question. When he snapped out of his surprise, he automatically gave her a name.
