There was no warmth in Lu Xia's eyes. She sneered. "Why? Are you backing down because it's not easy? "
"Not really. It's just that we don't have the guts to offend the Min family." The man did not get angry at Lu Xia's sarcasm.
Lu Xia was annoyed when she thought of the people she had found in the past few times were killed inexplicably, and she was almost exposed.
But on second thought, she realized that she had not been cautious enough. She knew that Huo Yao and Min Yu were close, yet she thought that she could get her out.
Now that Huo Yao had come to her... Lu Xia's lips twitched. She automatically ignored the fact that Huo Yao was qualified to attend the event. She said to the man on the other end of the line, "Since you don't have the guts, we can forget about the mission."
She hung up the phone without waiting for a response.
Since Huo Yao had come to her, she could not blame anyone else.
Lu Xia sneered and turned to return to the hostel.
Maureen was still sitting there playing with her phone. Something flickered in Lu Xia's eyes as she walked over to her. "Maureen, you mentioned that the campus is very lively. Why don't we go check it out?"
She needed to confirm whether Huo Yao was on the list for the event.
Although Maureen was surprised by Lu Xia's sudden interest, she had nothing better to do anyway, so she nodded. "Sure. Let's go."
"Uh huh."
Lu Xia took a jacket from the wardrobe and put it on. Before long, she left the hostel with Maureen.
The event was held in the lecture hall of Serene University, which could hold up to a thousand people. However, Lu Xia did not go there. Instead, she went to the administrative office after walking around with Maureen.
Jon had asked her to be the receptionist, so it was normal for her to go to the administrative office to get the list of students.
Lu Xia left the administrative office after making a copy of the list.
When she went downstairs, she took the list and looked at it carefully.
Seeing this, Maureen asked curiously, "Xia, are you looking for someone up there?"
Lu Xia did not reply to Maureen. Instead, she quickly scanned through the names on the list. Before long, she saw Huo Yao's name.
Lu Xia clenched her fists when she saw the name.
Her tutor was Professor Jon, yet she was only allowed to be the receptionist. How could Huo Yao be qualified to attend the event?
Last time, it was for the thesis, and this time, it was for the exchange. She was really haunting him everywhere.
Lu Xia's eyes were filled with jealousy.
Maureen caught a glimpse of Lu Xia's expression and was a little frightened. She had always thought Lu Xia was a hardworking and kind person. She had never seen her like this.
It was a little sinister.
Lu Xia seemed to sense Maureen's gaze on her. She lowered her eyelashes and looked up at Maureen. She smiled and answered the latter's question. "I just want to see if there are any friends I know."
Maureen blinked and looked at Lu Xia. Lu Xia did not look ferocious at all. So she must have been hallucinating just now.
Lu Xia folded the list calmly and put it in her coat pocket. "Lin, I just remembered that Dr. Jon is looking for me. I have to go."
Maureen came back to her senses and nodded quickly. "Oh, okay. Go ahead."
Lu Xia nodded slightly and walked toward the laboratory building.
Looking at the receding figure, Maureen couldn't help but touch the tip of her nose in shame. Was there something wrong with her eyes?
