It was not that all was fair in war, but that Shangguan Hou had already upgraded his medicine. Its effects were even more potent than three years ago.
Since he was here to meet this kid, how could he not be fully prepared?
Shangguan Hou was very confident about this.
"Okay. I'll give it a try." Huo Yao nodded and slowly rolled up her sleeves.
This was a great place. She did not have to worry about being heard and seen even if she made any noise.
Shangguan Hou frowned when he saw her movements and how she did not seem to be affected by the medicine. However, he was wearing a human skin mask, so he could not tell.
After waiting for another ten seconds, Shangguan Hou noticed that the girl was still standing there motionlessly. Only then did he realize that his medicine might have no effect on her.
Shangguan Hou was well aware of Huo Yao's combat power. He snapped his fingers in the air. In the next second, a dozen thugs hiding in the dark appeared in Huo Yao's field of vision.
At the same time, Shangguan Hou closed in on Huo Yao at lightning speed. His palm struck Huo Yao's shoulder with great force. Even the wind from his palm was strong.
Huo Yao stood rooted to the ground and watched as Shangguan Hou's palm was about to land on her. She smiled and tilted her body slightly. Her hand seemed slow, but it was actually very fast. She pinched Shangguan Hou's arm in front of her.
Shangguan Hou's hand could no longer move forward. However, he seemed to have expected this. Not only did he not take it to heart, but he even gave a strange smile.
At that moment, his other hand, which was behind his back, moved. In the next instant, a silver needle pierced into Huo Yao's body.
"Did you think I only had one trick up my sleeve?" Shangguan Hou pulled out the needle. The tip of the needle was still stained with blood. His lips curved into a smile. His eyes landed on Huo Yao's face as he said smugly, "The real trump card is here."
Huo Yao's pupils contracted. Disbelief was written all over her face. Her hand, which was still pinching Shangguan Hou's arm, suddenly went limp. In the next second, she lost consciousness and fainted.
Shangguan Hou looked at the person who had collapsed to the ground, and a look of disdain appeared in his eyes. What was he pretending to be powerful for? Didn't he fall into his hands again?
He instructed his thugs to take Huo Yao away.
Before long, Huo Yao was shoved into the car.
The parking lot became quiet again, as if nothing had happened.

Cheng Ming, who was still waiting in the rest area, raised his hand and looked at the time on his wrist. It had been 20 minutes since the young mistress said she was going to the washroom.
No matter what, he should have returned by now.
Cheng Ming furrowed his brows as he recalled Eldest Miss's reaction when she left. For some reason, a trace of uneasiness flashed across his heart.
He contemplated for a moment before he took out his phone from his pocket and called Huo Yao.
However, no one answered the phone until the last ring. Only then did Cheng Ming realize that something might have happened. He couldn't sit still any longer. He quickly hung up the phone and strode towards the bathroom.
He sent someone to search the ladies' room, but there was no one there.
Cheng Ming was annoyed and blamed himself. He didn't dare to delay any longer. While going to the airport's surveillance room, he ordered his men to guard all the exits of the airport. He couldn't let go of any suspicious people or vehicles.
When he arrived at the surveillance room, the airport staff had also received a call from their superior to cooperate with Cheng Ming. Hence, the moment he arrived, they immediately pulled up the surveillance footage.
