Chapter 1223: A Chance Encounter

Huo Yao crossed her legs. She could tell that Fu Ya did not like this friend of hers.

From the looks of it, they were probably not close.

Huo Yao hummed. Since Fu Ya was not on close terms with the culprit, Huo Yao did not have to be nice.

She put away her phone and stopped texting Fu Ya.

Meanwhile, Fu Ya kept thinking about Huo Yao’s text messages and felt a little worried.

Fu Cheng was stupid to cheat using Huo Yao’s medicinal pills. If he shamelessly insisted that they were his work and offended Huo Yao in the process, it would not bode well for him.

Fu Ya quickly took off her white robe and took her purse from the drawer. She told her colleague sitting in front of the cashier, “My bad. I have to go. It’s urgent.”

The moment she finished her sentence, she hurriedly left the Chinese medicine hall without even waiting for her colleague to reply.

Before long, Min Yu’s car arrived at the Apothecaries’ Association.

There was a security guard standing at the entrance. No one was permitted to enter the compound without a prior appointment or a member’s card.

Chairman Wang had already given Huo Yao her ID card, but she did not have it with her at the moment, so she called Chairman Wang directly.

After hanging up the phone, Huo Yao raised her head and caught Mi Wei walking out with the chairman’s assistant.

Huo Yao froze briefly and automatically turned her body sideways to face Min Yu beside her.

She was completely taken by surprise to see Mi Wei.

When Min Yu noticed something amiss with Huo Yao, he asked. “What’s wrong?”

…

“Nothing.”

Huo Yao shook her head. She raised her hand to touch her right ear in an attempt to cover her face. Before long, she put down her hand and realized it was pointless to hide, so she straightened her back and went back to normal.

She had overreacted. Mi Wei could never recognize her!

Mi Wei and the assistant were already very nearby. When Assistant Wang spoke to the security guard, he took a glance at Huo Yao and Min Yu and instantly took notice of them because of their powerful aura.

After taking a quick glance, he veered his eyes and asked the security guard. “Who are they?”

The security guard had heard Huo Yao making a call to Chairman Wang and greeting him. He replied. “I think they are here to see Chairman Wang.”

Although the security guard heard her greeting Chairman Wang, it was not enough for him to let them pass. He needed direct orders to do so.

Assistant Wang nodded. He raised his hand and checked the time again. A notion suddenly crossed his mind, so he secretly looked at Huo Yao. Was she the new deputy chairman?

After snapping out of his shock, Assistant Wang told the security guard to quickly open the door. He walked out and stood in front of Huo Yao. “Are you Miss Huo?”

Mi Wei also followed behind the assistant. He was dressed in a worn-out white robe with a long tobacco pipe hanging from his waist. Since the assistant was talking to someone, Mi Wei stood aside politely without interrupting or rushing him.
