1644: Unusually Quiet Tonight

Unusually Quiet Tonight

"Nope. We have already made a verbal agreement. Tomorrow, we will sign the contract." Meng Jue did not know what else he could do to improve the software, so he wanted Huo Yao to take a look at it before signing the deal. 2

Huo Yao went quiet briefly and said, "My personal opinion is that you should forget about this deal. It might bring trouble."

She was all too familiar with the security software. The software seemed built using the technology of this era, but not entirely. Considering Meng Jue's abilities, there was nothing much he could do about it.

Meng Jue felt worried inside after hearing that it might bring trouble. He knew Huo Yao was not the sort to say empty words. If she felt it might be troublesome, she probably meant it.

Meng Jue pondered briefly and asked quizzically. "Even if we can make changes, will it still bring trouble?"

"Uh huh." Huo Yao did not offer an explanation. She simply looked at the computer screen with her mind drifting away.

This kind of security software was available at the Shangguan clan's ancestral hall. This version in front of her was simply not as good.

She had obtained her hacking skills from the advanced knowledge left behind in the secret chamber in the ancestral hall.

Meng Jue did not know what Huo Yao was thinking. He simply nodded and said, "Okay. I'll go with your suggestion then."

Huo Yao raised her brow and glanced at Meng Jue. "Do you trust me that much?"

Meng Jue shrugged and looked at her solemnly. "If I can't trust Daddy, who else can I trust?"

Huo Yao did not continue with the subject. "Didn't you mention technical problems you needed help with?"

Meng Jue felt delighted and promptly said, "Come on. Let's go to the tech department."

The genius finally grew a conscience and volunteered to help him solve some problems. It was quite a rare occasion.

He did not want to waste a second of her time.

Before long, Meng Jue brought Huo Yao to the tech department.

At this hour, some employees from the tech department were still working overtime. When they saw the boss come over with someone, they were very curious but they did not dare to ask.

Huo Yao stayed in the tech department for nearly three hours. By the time she left DO Corporation, it was nearly 11:00 pm.

Meng Jue naturally drove when he sent her home.

Huo Yao sat in the car seat rubbing her throbbing brow. She felt it was unusually quiet tonight.

After a couple of minutes, she put her hand down to uncharacteristically reach for the phone in her pocket.

She unlocked the phone and checked it. Other than the blocked WeChat chat groups and messages, she did not receive a single notification or missed call. She could not help feeling puzzled by this.

Min Yu had not said a word to her.

Huo Yao held her phone thinking about whether she should call or text him.

After hesitating briefly, she decided to send a text message and ask what he was doing.

However, no one replied after some time.

For some reason, Huo Yao inexplicably felt a little uneasy. After waiting for a few minutes, she called him directly.

She received an automated message saying that the phone did not have any signal.

Huo Yao narrowed her eyes. She hung up the phone and changed it to computer mode.

Meng Jue glanced at her as he drove, but he did not disturb her.

Huo Yao kept working until a red blinking spot appeared on the virtual screen indicating a GPS location. He glanced at it a few times and reacted in astonishment. "Pier 51. Is your friend from the Weapons Bureau?"

Huo Yao raised her head and looked at Meng Jue. "Do you know about this place?"
