Shangguan Yun listened to the sound of the phone being hung up with a puzzled expression.
It was not his sister's style if she did not take something from him.
Shangguan Yun scratched his head and contemplated for a moment. Then he pulled out his suitcase from under the bed.
He pulled open the zipper. The bottom of the suitcase was filled with bottles and jars. There were at least a dozen of them. In the end, Shangguan Yun reluctantly picked out three of the less toxic ones.
He placed them on the table, took a photo, and sent it to Huo Yao via WeChat: [These are the only three I have. If you want, I can give you two at most. [Pity] [Pity]]
Huo Yao's WeChat beeped twice. She stood there for a while to enjoy the night breeze before she opened it.
Huo Yao's lips curved into a smile after she read the message. Although most of the things that the jerk said were lies, he did have a conscience.
[Keep it with you. I'll ask you for it when I need it.]
Shangguan Yun thought that his sister was indeed a thief. She was afraid that he would not give it to her.
Why did she want him to keep it with him?!
Huo Yao put her phone away and went back to her room. After she dried her hair, she did not go to bed. Instead, she turned on her laptop.
The people who had been following her tonight were of average skill. They were obviously outlaws who would take on missions as long as they were paid.
Therefore, the employer behind this was obviously not sent by those foreigners.

Overseas.
Lu Xia supported herself against the wall as she slowly walked out of Qiao En's lab. Her face was so pale that even her lips were drained of blood.
Her legs were trembling and she had no strength left. She leaned against the wall and stood for two minutes. After the lingering numbness in her body subsided, Lu Xia felt alive again.
Qiao En came out of the lab with a stack of reports. When he saw Lu Xia leaning against the wall, he said warmly, "I'm giving you a few days off. Go home and get some rest."
Lu Xia looked at Qiao En. She did not feel any gratitude because she knew that his concern was fake.
None of the people in this laboratory were normal.
Lu Xia nodded slightly without any hint of dissatisfaction on her face. "Okay. Thank you, Teacher."
Chown still wanted to look at the report, so he nodded and strode in front.
But after a few steps, he remembered something. He turned around and said to Lu Xia, "Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you. This issue of SCI is out. My friend sent me a copy. If you want it, go get it from my assistant."
Hearing this, Lu Xia's eyes finally gathered a glimmer of light, and she agreed.
An academic paper was a milestone that witnessed a person's growth. This was especially true for a journal like SCI, which had international authoritative appraisals.
Lu Xia took a deep breath. After a year of hard work, she could finally prove that she was not worse than others today!
Not long after, she arrived at Jon's assistant's office.
Qiao En's assistant had just received Qiao En's text message. He knew that Lu Xia had come to pick up the magazine, so he handed it to her and congratulated her. "Xia, you are amazing. No wonder you are Professor Qiao En's student."
When Lu Xia heard the assistant's compliment, she did not look at the magazine in her hands immediately. Instead, she smiled humbly at the assistant. "You are flattering me. It is all thanks to my teacher's good guidance."
The assistant smiled. After a few words, he turned around to do something else.
Lu Xia retracted her gaze and lowered her head.
Qiao En had said that her paper would be on the cover of this issue.
