"I think so," replied Zhuo Yun. Zhuo Yun replied, "It's said that there's an ancient ruin in Bly Town. There are many historical relics and rare treasures inside. Many people have already gathered in this town."
"But I have already arranged for someone to follow Professor Min and the others, so it should be fine."
Zhuo Yun added.
Min Yu had always trusted Zhuo Yun, so he nodded. "Uh huh."
Zhuo Yun glanced at Min Yu cautiously and contemplated before he asked him. "Should we go check it out?"
Min Yu raised his eyelids slightly.
"Wherever there are treasures, there are bound to be robbers. Who knows, the thief who stole our stuff might go there too," said Zhuo Yun indignantly.
It was embarrassing that they had failed to find the thief after so many years of tracking him down.
Huo Yao had just come out of the basement. When she heard Zhuo Yun say the word 'thief', she paused for half a second.
She glanced at Zhuo Yun before she went to pour herself a glass of warm water.
Min Yu stopped talking to Zhuo Yun when he saw her. Instead, he asked her. "Are you done with your work?"
Zhuo Yun turned sideways and hurriedly nodded at Huo Yao. "Miss Huo."
Huo Yao held the glass of water and leaned against the counter lazily. She said calmly, "No, I'm thirsty. Come and get me a glass of water."
As she spoke, she took a sip and didn't look at the master and servant who were not far away.
Heh, thief.
You wouldn't even know when a thief entered the house.
Zhuo Yun touched his nose. Somehow, Huo Yao did not seem to be in a good mood. He paused before he turned to look at Min Yu and asked him softly. "Yu, did you piss Miss Huo off again?"
Min Yu went speechless. "..."
"Girls need to be spoiled," muttered Zhuo Yun.
Min Yu's cheeks twitched. "... If there's nothing else, you can get lost."
Zhuo Yun instantly shut his mouth and left the villa.
Huo Yao was about to return to the basement to mess with the robot when her phone rang in her pocket.
It was an unknown number.
Huo Yao glanced at it calmly before she hung up.
She did not pick up any calls other than through WeChat.

At the Huo manor.
When Huo Wanying heard the sound of the line disconnecting, she calmly put the phone away from her ear.
"How is it?" asked Huo Qing, who was sitting on the sofa, when he saw Huo Wanying's movements.
"She's dead," Huo Wanying replied calmly.
Huo Qing pursed his lips, as if this was within his expectations. "I told you that your second uncle's niece isn't the kind of person who is easy to get along with."
Huo Wanying didn't make any comments and only said, "It doesn't matter if she picks up the phone or not. After all, it's not her place to ask about family affairs."
Huo Qing raised his brows. "Wanying, it's good that you think this way. As long as we don't acknowledge the eldest daughter of the Huo family, she will never be her."
Huo Qing paused for a moment before continuing, "In Third Uncle's heart, there is no one else suitable to be the Eldest Miss other than you."
"Third Uncle, please don't say these words in front of outsiders in the future, lest they become gossip." Huo Wanying lowered her lashes so that no one could read her thoughts. "It doesn't matter to me who the eldest daughter of the Huo family is."
Huo Qing knew that some things should be done before they went too far. He raised his hand to check the time before he stood up. "Let's go to the meeting room. The elders should be here by now."
