Chapter 466: Encrypted File
Lei Xiao turned on his computer and opened the browser to log into his mailbox. He swiftly sent the encrypted zipped file to Huo Yao.
He sent her another text message: [I’ve sent it. The pa.s.sword is...]
Huo Yao received a notification for a new email, but she did not open it. Instead, she asked: [Is this urgent?]
Lei Xiao: [A little. Just do it when you are free.]
Lei Xiao knew that Huo Yao was still a student, so he felt bad about rus.h.i.+ng her even though he needed her feedback urgently.
Huo Yao replied: [Okay.]
Lei Xiao sighed deeply. He did not go on chatting. Instead, he sent Huo Yao an emoji to thank her and exited the app.
He did not want to seek Huo Yao’s help with the data. However, the rest of the people at the research inst.i.tute were ridiculous and wanted to create the final product without testing the results repeatedly.
If there was anything wrong with the data, the end product would be disastrous.
Since he was a scientist, he could not take such risks.
After Huo Yao finished chatting with Lei Xiao, she put her phone back into her pocket.
Tong Yu was still talking while he drove. However, his voice sounded a little solemn.
“Shen Si comes from a powerful family. During the last few episodes, she clearly didn’t get along with you two. After what happened today, I reckon she will have doubts about Yao being the one behind this. Xiang, don’t let anyone catch you off guard.”
Huo Xiang’s lips twitched. “Why do I have to be careful if my sister is under suspicion?”
“Yao didn’t show her face, but things are different for you. Wouldn’t Yao end up getting exposed if she sent some paparazzi to track you down?”
Tong Yu had heard about how headstrong Shen Si was. Many people had suffered at her hands. It was pretty normal for celebrities hailing from powerful families to get away with almost everything in the entertainment industry.
Even though Huo Xiang’s brothers had successful careers, their family background could not compare to the Shen family.
Tong Yu had previously told Huo Yao to avoid Shen Si as much as possible. He certainly did not want to create any trouble for Huo Yao because of a live stream program.
Huo Xiang went quiet.
Huo Xiang knew how dangerous the entertainment industry was, so he did not want Huo Yao to enter it. He did not want her to end up getting trolled online.
Tong Yu’s words were a reminder that he had to be more careful.
After contemplating for a while, Huo Xiang said, “Why don’t I move back to my place for the time being?”
Huo Yao looked sideways at her fourth older brother. She recalled how she encountered paparazzi outside his place when she visited his villa, so she said, “Things will only get harder if you move back.”
Huo Xiang looked at her. He touched his nose as he said, “My place is very private, so no one knows about it.”
Huo Yao raised her brow. Sure enough, he was an innocent kid. She straightened her sleeves and said confidently, “Don’t do anything funny and just stay where you are.”
Huo Xiang went quiet. “...”
Tong Yu suddenly wiped his face when he saw how Huo Xiang and Huo Yao interacted. The netizens certainly had made a keen observation. It made sense for them to label Huo Xiang as a little princess.
Did they look like an older brother and little sister from any angle? The roles were clearly reversed here!
