Shangguan Tong noticed Huo Yao's calmness. The worry in her heart gradually subsided. She paused and said, "It's not hard to tackle this problem. Just do sothing to cover your scent."
Animals could only track soone using their scent. As long as the animals were unable to find the scent, the thod would fail.
Huo Yao also ca up with this solution, but she did not think Shangguan Hou's thods would be that simple.
If covering her scent was enough, Liang Qiu would not have specially asked to see her to remind her.
After all, it was unlikely for Shangguan Hou not to foresee that she would find out and take precautions.
As the sll of Chinese dicine wafted in the air, Huo Yao contemplated and said, "I will make so scent later."
Shangguan Tong agreed. She nodded. "I think it's worth trying."
"Uh huh," Huo Yao acknowledged softly and wanted to leave.
"Hang on." Shangguan Tong called her back. She looked up at the living room and said, "When are you giving the white jade?"
Huo Yao's phone rang in her pocket. She halted briefly and took out her phone without answering Shangguan Tong.
It was text ssages from ng Jue.
[Rember the middle-aged guy talking to you at the airport? I finally recalled why I found the guy familiar.]
Seeing this, Huo Yao's eyes moved slightly as she texted back: [Huh?]
J: [Is he King from Mirage Base?]
J: [Why didn't you ntion you knew him? How could you?]
ng Jue texted in a jealous tone.
King?
Huo Yao frowned as she rubbed the edge of her phone. She knew King was the highest authority in Mirage Base, but she had never seen the guy in person.
She pondered briefly without answering ng Jue's question. Instead, she asked straightforwardly: [What makes you so sure he's King from Mirage Base?]
ng Jue felt puzzled seeing this: [Hang on. Don't you know?]
Huo Yao: [If I knew, would I ask you?]
J: […]
ng Jue scratched his head. Since he knew Huo Yao was not the sort to jest, he quickly composed a reply: [A couple of years ago, I hacked into Mirage Base for the sake of the hackers' ranking. After I got in, I went through King's files. He looks exactly like the man I saw at the airport today.]
For a hacker, a powerful mory was also very important.
After ng Jue got ho, he tapped on the program Huo Yao had sent. Then, he suddenly recalled the guy and texted her.
Huo Yao's eyes turned dark as she held her phone.
Min Yu ntioned Chairman Sheng was chairman of the Archaeology Association, but he was rarely at the association. Hardly anyone knew him back in the capital either. As for the leader of Mirage Base, King, he was equally mysterious.
These two people… If ng Jue was right, then King was indeed Chairman Sheng, then that dark silhouette she encountered in the underground palace…
As she pondered, Shangguan Tong said from behind when Huo Yao did not answer, "Yu… I an Huo Yao, don't pretend you didn't hear . I really need that piece of jade."
Huo Yao gathered her thoughts. She paused for a second and looked at Aunt Tong to say, "I know why you want the jade. When we get back ho, I will go back to the clan with you."
Shangguan Tong's eyes turned dark. "You already have your own family now. Why go back with ?"
Huo Yao placed her phone into her pocket. She turned around, pointed at the living room, and whispered, "Tell . If Eldest Uncle finds out you plan to leave and never co back, do you think he'll lock you up?"
Shangguan Tong went speechless.
Huo Yao laughed and said, "He will only let you go if you're with . Otherwise, you can't even leave this villa, let alone the country."
Shangguan Tong's face turned dark. In the end, she did not say a word, turned around expressionlessly, and turned off the gas loudly.
Huo Yao raised her brow. Since Shangguan Tong was angry, it was best to leave her alone, so she quietly turned to leave.
She had a relaxed expression on her face, but it disappeared the mont she turned around.
The fact that King and Chairman Sheng were the sa person, made her a little worried. It felt as though she suddenly found out she was surrounded by an unknown net.
She thought everything was under her control, but soone had thought more steps ahead.
Huo Yao squeezed her brow. She took out her phone, logged into Cloud Realm, and sent Myron a ssage.
