1579: Very Advanced

Very Advanced

Huo Yao nodded. "Uh huh. Do you know about it?"1

She sounded quite surprised.

Min Yu raised his head and glanced at her.

Huo Yao did not know what to say when she caught him looking at her in such a manner.

She could sense disdain emanating from him.

Huo Yao changed the subject blatantly. "Can you start cooking? I'm famished."

Min Yu shook his head powerlessly.

After dinner, Min Yu brought Huo Yao down to the basement to look at something.

"What do you think about this model?" Min Yu looked at a metallic object on the table resembling wings.

Huo Yao veered her eyes after taking a single glance. "I have nothing to say."

Min Yu walked over, picked up the model, and rubbed the wings gently. "Looks very advanced, right?"

Huo Yao knew this object did not belong to these times, so it was naturally advanced.

"Where did you find this?" asked Huo Yao.

Min Yu raised his brow on hearing this. "What if I made it myself?"

"In that case, I have to say you're very good with your hands." Huo Yao commended him patronizingly.

Min Yu smiled and put down the model. "What do you think these wings are intended for?"

"How would I know, no?" Huo Yao glanced at him quizzically. "I grew up in the countryside. How could I have seen this?"

Min Yu did not believe her and knew it was bullshit. His phone happened to ring in his pocket.

He turned to take out the phone.

It was Zhuo Yun calling him.

Min Yu narrowed his eyes before he walked out of the room and answered the phone.

"They were here for Miss Huo. The culprits were just common thugs and there was nothing special about them." Zhuo Yun promptly reported about the tail on them earlier.

"What did they want?" asked Min Yu mildly as he held the phone.

"Someone paid a big reward for them to capture Miss Huo. After they succeeded, someone would be sent to take her."

Zhuo Yun paused and said, "Yang Yi located an IP address using the client's details. The mastermind is located abroad. Since a virtual phone was used, we are not 100% sure about the IP address."

Min Yu narrowed his eyes. "Anything else?"

"We have set a trap. Yang Yi has already contacted someone working for the mastermind. I think we will know more about it very soon," replied Zhuo Yun.

"Uh huh. Got it." Min Yu did not continue with the subject and hung up the phone.

He pondered for a few seconds and went back to the room.

Meanwhile, on the other end.

Lu Xia just came back from a morning run. Just as she was about to bathe, her phone rang from the bed. She turned to glance at her phone before holding it up.

She frowned the moment she saw the caller ID.

After some time, Lu Xia finally answered the phone. "Yes, Mom?"

He Xiaoman asked after her in concern before she finally said, "About the living expenses for the month…"

Before she could finish her sentence, Lu Xia interrupted her in annoyance. "Okay. I will send you the money now."

Lu Xia did not hang up the phone. She simply pulled the phone from her ear, tapped on an application, and continued speaking to her mother after she was done with the bank transfer. "All settled."

The moment she finished her sentence, He Xiaoman could hear a funds transfer notification ping on her phone. She cleared her throat awkwardly and explained in a sheepish tone. "I didn't call just for money…"

Lu Xia rubbed her brow with a mild look on her face. "If that is all, I have to go. Bye-bye."
