Huo Yao vaguely sensed that something was amiss after calling Huo Tingrui several times to no avail.
She had smelled the ointment on Huo Tingrui last night, so she had been distracted after joking around with him. She had found it odd when she saw his back view when he went upstairs.
Now that she thought about it, he seemed to have injured his shoulder somewhere.
Hence, Huo Yao had already taken the lift down before Huo Changfeng came back.
She quickly entered a code on her phone as she walked out. Before long, she found Huo Tingrui's assistant's number and called him.
The assistant picked up quickly. When he heard that it was Huo Yao, he did not care how she knew his number. He was already at a loss and could only say anxiously, "Rui... Brother Rui was taken away by them. I don't know where they took him. They only asked me to prepare the documents..."
The assistant spoke intermittently, so Huo Yao could only catch the gist of it. She replied that she understood and hung up the phone.
Huo Yao's face darkened.
"Miss Huo, aren't you upstairs?" Cheng Ming suddenly spotted Huo Yao in the lobby and hurried over to her.
Huo Yao replied calmly when she heard Cheng Ming's voice. She did not even raise her head as her fingers scrolled across the screen.
Cheng Ming's heart sank when he noticed the coldness in her eyes. He recalled what the Chief Steward had instructed him to do over the phone and suddenly had an ominous feeling. He walked over to Huo Yao's side.
Huo Yao did not move away, so Cheng Ming's pupils instantly narrowed when he saw her phone screen.
Huo Yao quickly put her phone away and turned to look at Cheng Ming. Her eyes landed on the car keys in his hand and she said, "Uncle Cheng, can I borrow your car for a while?"
"Oh, okay." Cheng Ming composed himself and hurriedly handed her the car keys. "Did something happen to Young Master Tingrui?"
Huo Yao acknowledged him and did not explain further. She took the car keys and headed out.
She was moving so fast that the wind blew through her open trench coat. When she passed through the revolving door, her cold face was reflected in the glass.
Cheng Ming followed closely behind Huo Yao. He raised his head to look at her profile. For some reason, he felt that Huo Yao's aura was somewhat terrifying.
Cheng Ming's fingers curled up as he looked down and quickly said, "The car is over there."
Huo Yao unlocked the car with the key. She opened the driver's door and sat down. Cheng Ming was worried that something might happen, so he followed her into the car.
Soon, the car drove out of the club's open-air parking lot.
Huo Yao drove very fast. She floored the accelerator and overtook many cars on the road. She headed straight for a village in the suburbs that was undergoing demolition.
Cheng Ming sat in the front passenger seat with one hand holding onto the armrest. If one looked closely, his legs that were stepping on the cushion were slightly trembling.
He raised his head and glanced at the young lady in the driver's seat. The black coat made her look even colder. She had one hand on the door frame, and there was a hidden danger in her carelessness.
The phone in his pocket rang. Cheng Ming retracted his gaze and hurriedly took it out. He picked it up. "Chief Steward, yes, Young Miss and I are going to the Northern Village in the suburbs … Hmm, okay."
About ten minutes later, the car drove into a small alley. Because the village was undergoing demolition, the streets and alleys were almost deserted, and the red word 'demolition' was written on the wall.
