Miracle Pill Maker Bullies the Boss - Chapter 535

Chapter 535: A Sheer Mystery

Fang Chen looked at Huo Yao and almost instantly knew what she wanted to say.

On the surface, she was implying that she would not divulge his identity. In reality, it was a warning not to investigate her.

A look of surprise swept across Fang Chen’s face. She was clearly just a middle school student, but a powerful aura radiated from her, inexplicably.

He suddenly recalled that hermits often lived in recluse, away from people, but it was wiser to hide in a crowd. Even though people might look ordinary, they were sometimes more capable than those who were outwardly accomplished.

Huo Yao’s phone rang. She pulled it out to see her second older brother calling. She moved her fingertips gently and rejected the call. She raised her head and said, “I have written the dosage and how it should be taken. I’m off.”

Fang Chen did not attempt to keep her. Instead, he stood up. “Okay.”

He turned to look at Lin Shuwen. “Shuwen, send her home.”

Lin Shuwen cautiously folded and placed the prescription in his pocket before he nodded. “Sure.”

Huo Yao wanted to turn him down, but considering how secure the estate was, she took him up on the offer.

Lin Shuwen sent Huo Yao to the door and told the bodyguard to send her back home safely. He only went back to the villa after the car pulled away.

Fang Chen sat on the couch and appeared preoccupied.

Lin Shuwen walked over and poured him a glass of warm water. “What’s on your mind?”

Fang Chen took the glass. He went quiet for a few seconds before he said, “That young lady is such a mystery.”

Lin Shuwen looked at him annoyingly before he retrieved the prescription from his pocket and raised it before his eyes.

Could he wake up? Was that important at a time like this?

Fang Chen glanced at the prescription before his eyes landed on the consultation fees and paused. After some time, he looked at Lin Shuwen expressionlessly. “Who changed my meds?”

The person who made the decision ought to bear the cost of the consultation!

Lin Shuwen instantly knew what he was driving at. He swiftly took the prescription and pretended that he did not hear anything. He said, “I am going to get the herbs.”

He ran off at top speed.

In the car.

Huo Yao took out her phone and put her earphones on before she called Huo Tingrui back.

Before she managed to say a word after she answered the phone, Huo Tingrui’s voice came anxiously. “Where are you? Dad said you were missing.”

Huo Yao felt surprised to hear that. Had she not called her father in the afternoon to tell him she was coming home late tonight?

“I’m outside and on my way home,” she replied unhurriedly.

Huo Tingrui exhaled in relief and said, “Dad said you got into a car and suddenly disappeared. I was worried that something happened to you.”

Huo Yao’s grip on the phone tightened slightly and felt puzzled. “What do you mean by suddenly disappearing?”

Huo Tingrui had almost let it slip that bodyguards were following her and quickly changed the subject. “Nothing.”

Huo Yao narrowed her eyes. After hearing about this, she was certain that something was going on behind her back.

Huo Tingrui coughed dryly and said, “Why don’t you tell me where you are now? I can pick you up and go home together.”

Huo Yao looked out the car window to see it had already reached one of the main streets in the city.

She contemplated for two seconds. “Okay.”
