339: Do as I Say!

Do as I Say!

The butler giggled as he stuffed the fluffy rabbit into the Old Master's arms. Its pinkness illuminated his face.1

The Old Master's face was still wrought with anger, but his gaze landed on the fluffy rabbit.

The butler grinned. "The Young Master sure knows how to pick a gift."

The Old Master rolled his eyes at him. Then, he picked the fluffy rabbit up and looked at it. Its two rabbit ears were raised—the Old Master folded one of the ears, and in an instant, one was high and the other was low.

"What is that brat thinking!? He wants to placate me with a damn rabbit? Can't he just give me a call!?

"Look at how long he's been gone! It's been almost half a year!"

The butler hurriedly poured him a cup of tea. "No, no. It hasn't even been five months."

The Old Master's voice instantly rose. "Oh, is that so! What a short time five months is, right!? He's left his entire workload to me and now I have to handle all of it. Can't an old man just enjoy his retirement?!"

The more Old Master thought about it, the more incensed he became. He picked up the fluffy rabbit, frowned at it, and wanted to punch it.

The butler looked at him. "Master, it's useless even if you hit it. Here's some tea to help you calm down."

The Old Master carried the fluffy rabbit in his arms, and took a sip from the teacup.

"If I can't hit it, should I hit you? Or will that stinking brat come back so that I can hit him?!"

The butler smiled and stopped talking.

The Old Master sighed and pinched the rabbit's ears as he looked at it in his arms.

"I just want to know that he's safe."

"Old Master, our Young Master is definitely safe. The Young Master didn't pick up the phone, but Chu Ting did. He said that everything is fine."

When he mentioned this, the Old Master was also angry. "That brat is also disobedient. Why can't he bring him back while he's asleep?! He only ever listens to Huo Jinyan."

"Master, you know the Young Master's temper all too well. Even if Chu Ting wants to carry out your instructions, he wouldn't dare."

The Old Master sighed deeply and looked at the fluffy rabbit. "It'll be good to even just hear his voice."

…

"Second Master, there's news."

"How is it!?"

"The initial phase of the plan went smoothly, but we didn't see him near Huo Jinyan's house or the hospital, so we couldn't strike at him again."

"What!?"

Huo Shi's eyes widened. He clenched his fists tightly, the veins on the back of his hands bulging.

"This bunch of trash!"

"Second Master, Huo Jinyan is already injured."

Huo Shi closed his eyes tightly and said cruelly, "What use is it if he's injured?! I want him dead!"

Everyone fell silent for a moment.

After a long while, Huo Shi's voice sounded. "Tell them to get ready."

The person was shocked. "Second Master, are we continuing with the plan? Won't this alert them?"

Madness flashed across Huo Shi's face ever so briefly. "He's injured now! How will he even fight me?! Do as I say!"

"Understood!"

The next morning, Lu Ning was woken up by someone.

It was a rare occurrence, since she usually woke up on her own.

However, when she woke up today, she was also groggy.

"Ning'ning, time to eat."

"Okay~"

Lu Ning dragged her tired body out of bed to wash up and change. When she looked up, she realized that she had forgotten to close the window last night.

She walked over and closed the window, then raised her hand to touch her forehead. It was hot; she must have caught a cold.

Lu Ning walked out slowly, and Lu Jingzhi came out of the room to look at her.

"Sister, what's wrong?"

Shen Yunci stuck her head out. "What's wrong?"

Lu Ning shook her head. "I'm fine. I probably caught a cold."
