When Lei Xiao returned to the first floor from the basement, he was still holding the data sheet that Huo Yao had written down in the afternoon. It was as though he was holding a treasure. After a while, he asked shamelessly. "Can I make a copy of the data sheet?"
He did not know what Huo Yao's antidote was for, but judging from the herbs used, it must be extraordinary. Hence, he wanted to keep the data sheet for himself.
After all, it was a valuable set of data that might be helpful for their research.
Huo Yao glanced at the paper and replied nonchalantly. "It's fine. You can keep it. I don't need it anymore."
Lei Xiao was shocked. After a while, he composed himself. He hurriedly placed the paper in the cabinet as though he was afraid that Huo Yao would change her mind. "Thanks a lot."
He originally thought that she would not agree. As a researcher himself, he knew very well that this kind of data could not be so perfect without a few months or even half a year of research.
No one would be willing to give away their research results for free.
"You're welcome." Huo Yao pursed her lips.
It was not that she was generous enough to give away the prescription, but it would not be of much use to him. It was already difficult to gather the herbs, let alone make it.
Moreover, the prescription was just an ordinary antidote to her, so she did not mind doing him a favor.
Lei Xiao glanced at his watch. It was almost 8: 00 pm. He suddenly recalled that he had not had dinner yet, so he hurriedly said, "I'm used to doing research alone. Sometimes, I lose track of time when I'm busy. You must be hungry. Let's go eat..."
Before he could finish, Huo Yao waved her hand and interrupted him. "It's fine. I have to go now. Thanks for today."
Although Lei Xiao regretted that he had only spent so little time with the big boss, he was not someone who did not know his limits.
He did not insist and picked up his car keys. "Sure. Let me drive you. It's night time, so it's not safe for you to go back alone."
Huo Yao glanced at him quietly.

Huo Yao did not ask Lei Xiao to drive her back to the hotel. Instead, she gave him another address. Lei Xiao did not think much of it and assumed that she was staying there.
Huo Yao asked him to drive her to a night market in the old city district.
Huo Yao got out of the car and waited for Lei Xiao's car to disappear into the distance before she slowly walked into the night market.
After entering the night market, only bicycles and electric scooters were allowed in. Cars were not allowed in.
Both sides of the street were lined with shops. The shops were decorated in a quaint style and looked very old.
It was the busiest time of the night market, and there were many people coming and going. Huo Yao took out a mask from her pocket and put it on. Her eyes occasionally darted around, and her eyes shone brightly.
Huo Yao walked deeper into the city before she sat down at a low table outside a noodle shop. There was an antique shop right next to it.
The owner of the noodle shop was an old man in his sixties. The shop was small but very clean. There were no customers in the shop at the moment, so he walked over with a smile and asked Huo Yao what she wanted to eat.
Huo Yao removed her mask and said, "A big serving of minced pork noodles. Oh, and remember to add your secret chili sauce."
The old man glanced at Huo Yao quizzically. Only a regular customer would want his chili sauce. This was clearly the young lady's first time here.
