Chapter 1394: Incense
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Huo Yao wanted to use Mi Wei’s number to locate his GPS location, but she was unable to do so.
Huo Yao tapped on the phone screen feeling puzzled.
He was a full-grown man. It made no sense for him to disappear into thin air.
After trying a few times, she was still unable to find his GPS location.
Huo Yao exited the computer mode and opened her chats. She sent Chen Ming a message asking him to investigate Mi Wei’s recent whereabouts.
!!
When she sent the text message, Chen Ming happened to arrive at the estate, and entered the villa shortly.
Chen Ming came into the villa holding a box. He went towards Huo Yao, greeted her reverently, and handed her the box.
Huo Yao paused briefly before taking the box. She asked him quizzically. “What’s this?”
Chen Ming smiled mysteriously. “Just open it, Miss Huo.”
Huo Yao glanced at Chen Ming. She had a feeling that the contents of the box might mean trouble for her, so she did not open it right away. Instead, she asked again. “Is it something that costs a bomb again?”
The box was neither big nor heavy, but it looked exquisite.
“Nope.” Chen Ming shook his head.
Huo Yao placed the parcel on her knee and opened it unhurriedly. After lifting the lid, she was stunned to see its contents.
It contained a small gun.
Chen Ming cleared his throat and explained. “The chief steward told me to get you a gun to protect yourself.”
Ever since the little episode with Yuan Huan, Chen Ming felt it was best if Huo Yao could have a weapon. If anything happened, she could at least defend herself easily.
Huo Yao looked at the gun in the box quietly before she closed the lid. Sure enough, it seemed like Uncle Changfeng’s style. Every time he gave her something, it was very unique.
“Help me thank Uncle Changfeng.” Huo Yao knew there was no rejecting this gift, so she simply accepted it.
“Uh huh.” Chen Ming nodded. He did not linger for long. “I have to go. I will investigate the guy and get back to you as soon as possible.”
“Thanks, Uncle Ming.” Huo Yao stood up and nodded.
Chen Ming smiled as he shook his head and left.
Huo Yao veered her eyes and picked up the box again. She took out the black gun and held it in her hand.
This was not a very powerful gun, but it was good enough.
Her phone suddenly rang as it sat on the coffee table.
Huo Yao tilted her head sideways and saw it was a call from Min Yu. She picked up the phone and answered it.
“Why would you need incense?” asked Huo Yao quizzically.
Min Yu sat on the couch rubbing his brow with one hand and looked even sicker than before.
Huo Yao naturally could not tell he was unwell over the phone. She walked inside the living room to a cabinet and checked the contents. Sure enough, she had some incense in there. After picking up the incense, she headed out. “Okay. Are you at home? I’ll bring it over.”
“I’m at home,” replied Min Yu.
Huo Yao hung up the phone and got ready to leave the villa.
She put away the gun Chen Ming had sent before heading out.

Before long, Huo Yao arrived at Min Yu’s place.
When she saw him, she frowned as she placed the incense on the coffee table. She sat down beside Min Yu, held his wrist, and asked. “Why do you look so bad?”
Min Yu noticed the unusually serious look on her face. He cleared his throat and did not try to lighten the situation.
