Huo Yulin looked at the Countess coldly. "Shut up!"
The Countess was startled. But she quickly saw Luo Qi walking over from the tea room. Her eyes narrowed and she took two steps forward. "Luo Qi, you have to stand up for me today."
Luo Qi glanced over and saw the tense situation in the hall. His eyes swept over Huo Yao and the man in front of her. He paused for a moment before he looked at the Countess. "What's wrong?"
The Countess quickly told Luo Qi what had happened in the hall. She pointed at the two doctors who were still under Zhuo Yun's control. "We don't know if the Earl is dead or alive. They are still..."
Before she could finish her sentence, Luo Qi raised his hand and interrupted her. "Then what you should do now is send the Earl to the hospital instead of standing here in a deadlock."
The Countess was stunned. She did not expect that her nephew would not help her. Instead, he would say such words to embarrass her.
"Auntie, you have to know when to stop," reminded Luo Qi calmly before he walked past the Countess and headed out.
When he walked past Huo Yao and Huo Yulin, he merely nodded slightly.
The Huo family was still blocking their way at the door. Huo Yao looked at Huo Yulin. "Shall we go back too?"
Huo Yulin glanced at Huo Yao. He could roughly tell what his little sister was thinking. He nodded and said, "Sure."
After saying that, he made a gesture in mid-air, and all the subordinates present put away their weapons in an orderly manner. Then, they retreated as quickly as they had come in.
Without anyone blocking their way at the door, Luo Qi and his guards quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.
Before Huo Yulin left, he turned around. There was no warmth in his eyes as he looked at the countess. "I won't let tonight's incident go just like that."
The Countess's heart tightened. She opened her mouth to speak, but Huo Yulin had already veered his eyes away and strode away.
Zhuo Yun, who was standing beside him, pressed his earpiece and followed them.
In an instant, apart from the guests, the entire hall was in a mess.
Before long, the guests found excuses to leave.
The Countess looked at the empty hall with a terrible look on her face.
A birthday banquet had turned out this way.
The Countess's residence would become a laughing stock among the upper class tomorrow. Moreover, the Huo family's relationship with the Weapons Bureau might backfire.
The Countess did not dare to think about it further. She turned to look at her husband.

Fan Shun sat in the car. The driver did not start the engine until his assistant returned.
"Sir, I have some bad news." The assistant sat on the front passenger seat and looked at Fan Shun in the rearview mirror. "The few shadow guards are already dead."
Fan Shusat with his eyes closed, but he opened them slowly. Fan Shun Shun Fan.
"They were all poisoned to death." The assistant recalled the way the few Shadow Guards had died and his expression became increasingly solemn.
The bodies of the Shadow Guards had been specially modified. Although they were not immune to poison, they would not die instantly without any resistance.
"We might have met our match." The assistant came to a conclusion, "But the strange thing is, these Shadow Guards died in the tea room where Prince Loki stayed."
Fan Shun lifted his eyelids. "Luo Qi doesn't have such a powerful person around him."
"Lun Lu..
