Chapter 680: Bad News
Min Yu left the hospital before long.
Yang Yi had already brought the car from the parking lot. After Min Yu got onto the car, Yang Yi glanced at him before he started the engine.
He said, “I hope Miss Huo and her brother aren’t badly injured.”
Min Yu acknowledged him softly. He contemplated for a few seconds before he said to Yang Yi, “Oh yes! Get me an invite for the exhibit at Evergreen Gallery.”
“Sure. Is it for Miss Huo’s father?” asked Yang Yi.
He recalled Old Master Min telling his boss about Huo Jinyan’s interests before he left.
“That’s right,” replied Min Yu calmly and looked out of the car window.
Since the Min family was the organizer of the exhibit, it was as easy as pie for them to organize an invite.
Yang Yi touched his nose, lost in thought. Min Yu had quietly gotten on Huo Jinyan’s good side. His boss was getting really good at doing things like these.
Yang Yi cleared his throat. He recalled something and said, “The European alliance sent a word. You have to visit the branch office to sign up as a member of the underground alliance before we can take over City S.”
Min Yu narrowed his eyes. “When?”
“Before the end of the month,” replied Yang Yi.
“Okay.”
Since it was already the 23rd, they had a few more days to get it done.
Yang Yi went quiet for a few minutes before he said in a serious tone, “To be safe, I think we should discuss this further.”
“Let’s wait and see.” Min Yu closed his eyes and spoke lazily.
Yang Yi glanced at his boss through the rearview mirror and stopped talking.

News about Huo Xiang’s traffic accident spread through the internet like wildfire.
Since Huo Xiang had a ma.s.sive following, his fans left a lot of messages on his social media homepage. When he did not reply, a lot of people posted questions on Huo Tingrui and Huo Yao’s social media account.
Some people even waited outside Huo Xiang’s talent agency in the hope of getting first-hand information about their idol.
At Huo Yao’s suggestion, Tong Yu got someone to check on the vehicle right away. After his mechanic confirmed that someone had touched the brake, Tong Yu did not tell the public about Huo Xiang’s real condition since this was a serious matter.
No one knew who the culprit was, but someone must have touched the brake in the hope of taking out Huo Xiang. Now that the plot had failed, he would definitely go into hiding. In that case, it will be even harder to find the culprit.
Tong Yu had been working hard in the office for two days straight. He had to answer to his superiors, keep an eye on the internet, and deal with fans and reporters.
Meanwhile, at the talent agency’s office.
After Tong Yu finished his call with a brand representative, his a.s.sistant came running in before Tong Yu could catch his breath. “Yu, bad news.”
Tong Yu pressed his forehead as he asked worriedly. “What now?”
“Someone has claimed online that Lucky took ketamine and got into a traffic accident because he was high.” The a.s.sistant held the phone out and showed it to Tong Yu.
Tong Yu did not even bother to look at it. He waved his hand and said, “This is complete hearsay. Simply let the marketing department take care of it.”
After Huo Xiang got into the traffic accident, all kinds of unjustified claims appeared online.
“I already told them to handle it, but too many anti-fans are talking about it. Since we are not giving them any genuine updates about Lucky’s condition, a lot of fans are starting to believe this rumor,” said the a.s.sistant hurriedly.
The a.s.sistant came in such a hurry that he forgot to close the door. Just as Tong Yu was about to speak, he frowned when he saw the man standing outside.
