Chapter 263: How Well Do You Know Huo Yao?
Min Yu stood up and went upstairs expressionlessly.
Zhuo Yun panicked the moment he saw him behave like this. He watched until Min Yu had gone completely out of sight before he slumped on the couch’s armrest. “I’m dead meat. I feel as though he’s going to banish me to the frontier or something.”
Yang Yi instinctively frowned when he saw Zhuo Yun’s look of desperation. He was feeling miffed that Min Yu had intended to send Huo Yao to the hotel first despite his injuries.
“Someone wiped the night market’s CCTV footage, but I managed to recover it. Judging from the motorcycle’s angle, the culprit was aiming for Miss Huo and not our boss,” said Yang Yi icily.
Zhuo Yun raised his head in surprise. “I don’t think so. Miss Huo is just an average middle school student. Why would anyone go after her? Moreover, it’s her first time in the capital.”
Yang Yi clicked on the CCTV footage that he had saved on his computer. He would prove it to Zhuo Yun, who was refusing to believe him. He slowed down the footage speed and said, “Look.”
After playing the incident’s footage a few times, Yang Yi said, “He was clearly going after Miss Huo. Also, judging from his movements, he is a martial artist. Despite doing his best to conceal it, he gave himself away.”
Zhuo Yun scratched his head in disbelief. “I still don’t think that he was targeting Miss Huo.”
Yang Yi almost wanted to hit him when he saw how pigheaded Zhuo Yun was being. He found it unfathomable that he would insist on taking Huo Yao’s side.
Yang Yi inhaled deeply and suppressed his fury. Instead, he patiently asked Zhuo Yun. “You might like to think that it is impossible, but the evidence doesn’t lie. How well do you know Miss Huo?”
“I...” Zhuo Yun’s lips parted in confusion.
Before Zhuo Yun finished his sentence, Yang Yi interrupted him. “Answer this. Why did she get attacked by some random motorcyclist if you say she is only an ordinary middle school student? Have you considered that?”
Zhuo Yun touched his nose before he replied softly. “That was because he was after our boss.”
“Do you trust her unconditionally just because of the incense she gave us?” Yang Yi shook his head inconceivably.
Although the nerve-soothing incense was expensive, they should not let down their guard just because of that, considering Min Yu’s ident.i.ty.
“I don’t trust her blindly. I also investigated her previously. She was dumped in the countryside as a child and was raised by her grandmother. Other than this dramatic incident in her life, she’s completely clean,” said Zhuo Yun candidly.
Huo Yao might have seemed mysterious when she obtained the incense from nowhere and suddenly reversed roles to become a school legend after having bad grades since elementary school. However, it did not imply that there was something sinister about her.
“Forget it. I simply can’t get through to you. I can only suggest that you keep your eyes open.” Yang Yi closed his laptop before he stood up and walked away.
Zhuo Yun touched his nose. Yang Yi seemed to have formed an unfavorable opinion of Huo Yao. Maybe that’s why he would be suspicious of her in this incident.
But he didn’t know that even seasoned people like Old Mr. Pei and Old Mr. Yi wanted to take her as their disciple. How could she be unscrupulous?
Moreover, No.1 Middle School’s princ.i.p.al had spoken highly of her. Despite her ordinary family background, she held a promising future.
Zhuo Yun shook his head and disregarded Yang Yi’s opinion. Instead, he took out his phone and sent Huo Yao a text message.
