Miracle Pill Maker Bullies the Boss - Chapter 1763
1763 Disappear Into Thin Air
“I…” Countess Kerr staggered back a couple of steps. She quickly shouted to the butler standing beside her. “What are you waiting for? Go and find Miss Huo this instant!”
The butler trembled as he nodded and quickly ordered the maids and servants to look for Huo Yao.
In an instant, the atmosphere at the count’s residence became intense.
No one noticed Fan Shun standing right at the back among the guests. He looked very calm. For a moment, it seemed as though this had nothing to do with him. He simply sampled the glass of red wine in his hands unhurriedly.
!!
At this moment, the assistant quietly appeared by his side.
“Mr. Fan, she’s gone.”
The assistant spoke softly. Other than Fan Shun, no one else could hear him.
Fan Shun was swaying the wine glass, but his hand halted briefly. He veered his head slightly and asked. “What do you mean?”
“According to the plan, our men were supposed to take the girl away when the snipers fired. When our men went over, there was no one in the room.” The assistant felt puzzled.
The rooms were locked from the outside. Unless someone opened them from the outside, it was impossible for her to leave the room.
Something seemed amiss.
“Do you think someone found out about our plans?” The assistant speculated.
Fan Shun narrowed his eyes. He glanced at Huo Yulin and Zhuo Yun standing nearby. Judging from their reaction, they did not seem to be acting. “I doubt it.”
The assistant felt the same way. Otherwise, the Huo family would not publicly offend Count Kerr. “Mr. Fan, I’ve already told the secret guards to avoid people from the Huo family while they search for the young woman.”
The super assassins were very good fighters. Even if they had to face 100 men from the Huo family, the Huo family was no match for them. Naturally, they could go undetected by the family.
“Uh huh,” acknowledged Fan Shun. After standing for half a minute, he retrieved a glass bottle containing white powder from his pocket. “Give this to the count.”
The assistant nodded. He took the glass bottle and quietly left.

Meanwhile, inside the tea room on the far eastern side of the ground level.
After performing acupuncture, the young man lying on the ground slowly opened his eyes.
When the bodyguard pointing the gun at Huo Yao saw the man regain consciousness, the worry on his face finally disappeared. “Your Highness, you finally woke up. How do you feel now?”
Rocco coughed weakly. The bodyguard helped Rocco up and let him sit on a chair. After some time, he raised his hand. “I’m fine now.”
The bodyguard finally heaved a sigh of relief. He turned to look at Huo Yao and thought about his reaction earlier and promptly bowed. “It was my fault. I misunderstood earlier. I thought you wanted to do something to His Highness… I was rude. Please accept my apology.”
If he still could not tell that she did not have any ill intentions, he was no better than being blind.
Huo Yao looked up. She did not take it to heart and simply sat down on a chair by the side. “You didn’t know, so it wasn’t your fault.”
Rocco did not know what happened after he fainted. When he saw the bodyguard’s actions, he looked at Huo Yao automatically. A look of surprise emerged on his pale face. “Are you a doctor?”
Huo Yao nodded. “Perhaps.” Huo Yao nodded. “Kind of.”
Rocco suddenly smiled upon hearing this. He sighed. “Then, I’m lucky today. Thank you for saving me.”
“You’re welcome. We can call it quits then.” Huo Yao shrugged.
Rocco shook his head. “I just happened to pass by.”
He had inadvertently overheard Morey and Fan Shun’s conversation. Since he knew Fan Shun’s personality well, he decided to let the girl out of the room.
Unexpectedly, she ended up saving him from an attack as well.
