It was still early when Huo Yao returned to school.
Meng Ying could not help asking in surprise when she saw Huo Yao. "So soon? Have you settled the old man's case? "
Huo Yao took out a book from under her desk. She flipped it open and said, "No. He's been discharged."
"Err... so you didn't see him?" Meng Ying touched her nose.
"Uh huh," replied Huo Yao gently.
A thought suddenly crossed Huo Yao's mind. She turned to look at Meng Ying and said, "Lend me your phone. I need to make a call."
"Okay." Meng Ying took out her phone and unlocked it before handing it to Huo Yao.
Huo Yao took the phone and walked out of the classroom through the back door.
She turned on the dial panel and dialed a number when she reached the corridor.
It was the old man's number when she was at Min Yu's place the night before.
The phone rang for a long time, but no one picked up.
After Huo Yao hung up, she called him again two minutes later. This time, the call went through.
"Hello... Who is this?"
Huo Yao's voice turned cold when she heard the old man's voice. "Hehe. Old man, I heard that you are going to make a scene at the Ministry of Education?"
The person on the other end of the line fell silent. Then Huo Yao heard the beeping sound of the phone being hung up.
Huo Yao: "?"
Huo Yao narrowed her eyes as her eyes landed on the phone screen. Then she tapped on the screen and dialed the number again.
However, the phone had only just rung once before it was hung up again.
He clearly did not want to pick up her call.
Huo Yao frowned. Her intuition told her that the old man was up to something again.
Otherwise, he would not have called her school in the morning. Okay.
Huo Yao did not call again. Instead, she returned the phone to Meng Ying.
Meng Ying noticed that Huo Yao's expression seemed even darker than before, so she asked her softly. "Sister Big Shot, did something happen?"
Huo Yao raised her head and glanced at her before she shook her head. "Nothing."
Huo Yao did not think too much about it and continued to read.
Studying was the best way to strengthen one's resolve.

Huo Tingrui's second older brother, Huo Tingrui, came to pick Huo Jinyan up in the afternoon.
"Brother Tingrui, why are you the one picking me up today?" asked Huo Yao quizzically.
Huo Tingrui opened the passenger door for his little sister. "Mom and Dad were busy and couldn't leave. I happened to be passing by, so I picked you up." He raised his brow and said, "Why? Are you not happy that Brother Tingrui picked you up?"
"Not really," replied Huo Yao before she sat down.
After Huo Tingrui closed the car door, he walked around to the driver's seat and got into the car.
He started the engine, and the car soon left the school.
On the way home, Song Ning called and asked when she would be home.
Huo Tingrui replied, "Soon." He hung up the phone without saying much.
"I think we have guests today," said Huo Tingrui casually.
Huo Yao glanced at him. "A guest? Relatives? "
"I'm not sure. He might be their friend," Huo Tingrui said calmly.
"Oh." Huo Yao did not take it to heart since it had nothing to do with her anyway.
The car arrived at the estate 10 minutes later. Huo Yao got out of the car and entered the passcode. The metal gate opened automatically.
Huo Tingrui drove in and parked the car in the garage.
