Zhuo Yun nodded at Huo Yao in greeting before he looked at Min Yu. "Yu, I'm almost done with the medicine association."
Min Yu replied calmly. He was still typing on his phone when he raised his head and asked Huo Yao. "What do you want for dinner?"
"Oh, anything," replied Huo Yao lazily. She crossed her legs and changed her sitting position.
Min Yu nodded. He veered his eyes away and continued texting.
Zhuo Yunqing coughed, then took out the documents from the folder. "Oh yes, there's one more thing. I received an anonymous courier today. There was a document inside, and it happened to be about Qin Zheng."
Huo Yao raised her head and glanced at the documents in Zhuo Yun's hands. However, she quickly lowered her eyes with a lack of interest.
Zhuo Yun handed the documents to Min Yu and continued. "I always thought that only places like research institutes used live people for experiments. I didn't expect Qin Zheng to secretly imprison live people to test his medicine."
Huo Yao's long and slender fingers fiddled with the corner of her shirt. A thought crossed her mind, and she pursed her lips. "Desire is a ravine that no one can ever fill."
Zhuo Yun looked at Huo Yao in a daze. Although she looked normal, her words were unusually cold.
"You are so young, yet you seem to have seen through the world." Min Yu raised his brow slightly. He tossed the documents on the coffee table and reached out to hold Huo Yao's hand. He squeezed her palm. "Huo Yao, are you tired?"
Huo Yao glanced sideways at Min Yu. She did not pull her hand back, but she did not reply.
Zhuo Yun looked at them from the side. For some reason, he felt a little jealous as a single man.
"Did you find out who sent the documents?" asked Min Yu calmly as he turned to glance at Zhuo Yun.
Zhuo Yun's face twitched. "... No."
He could clearly sense a hint of disdain in Huo Yao's tone when he said this.
Zhuo Yun coughed. He did not dare to look at the man under the nail. Suddenly, he recalled something and looked at Huo Yao. "Oh yes, Miss Huo. The photo you sent me the other day does match up with Shangguan Yu. It is highly likely that they are the same person."
"A photo?" asked Min Yu quizzically as he played with Huo Yao's fingers.
Zhuo Yun quickly took out his phone and opened the photo. "This is the person."
Min Yu glanced at the photo. It was only a side profile and was very blurry. He could not see the person's face clearly. "Shangguan Yu?"
"I think so," Zhuo Yun replied.
Huo Yao was not surprised by Zhuo Yun's findings. She composed herself and said, "Is he still nowhere to be found?"
Zhuo Yun pondered over the information sent by his subordinate and paused for two seconds before saying, "I'm not sure if this is the person Qin Zheng met a few days ago."
She was involved with Qin Zheng again... Huo Yao narrowed her eyes and did not probe further. "Got it."
Zhuo Yun glanced at Huo Yao, but he could not tell what she was thinking. He stood there for a while before slipping away.
After he left, only Huo Yao and Min Yu were left in the living room.
"Are you thinking about Shangguan Yu?" Min Yu hooked Huo Yao's fingers with his to pull her back to reality.
Every time Huo Yao heard Shangguan Yu's name, she would feel a little uneasy. She sat up straight and shook her head. "No."
