After Huo Yao left the old lady's apartment, she hailed a cab and headed back to the Huo residence.
A few pairs of shiny men's shoes were placed at the entrance when she arrived. A look of surprise flashed across Huo Yao's face. Did they have a guest?
She contemplated for a few seconds before she put the keys back into her bag. She turned to walk to the elevator. The elevator was still on the first floor. She pressed the button, and the door opened. She walked in.
Huo Yao sat down on a public bench after she went downstairs. She was extremely good-looking, so every time someone passed by, even a child, they could not help but steal a few glances at her.
Huo Yao was wearing a hoodie today, so she decided to put it on. She took out her phone and lowered her head to play with it. Soon, no one was staring at her anymore.
Huo Yao was bored, so she played a few rounds of a competitive game that she had downloaded earlier. She found it unchallenging, so she closed the game. Suddenly, she recalled something and opened WeChat.
She did not have many friends in her WeChat. She scrolled through her contacts and dragged out the person with the nickname Y from her blacklist. Then, she sent him a message.
Medicine Pill: [Be careful. Don't go out if you have nothing to do.]
The person seemed to be playing with his phone, so he replied almost immediately after Huo Yao sent the message.
Y: [Aiyo, ancestor, you finally remembered me.]
Y: [You have no idea what I've been through lately.]
Y: [I don't have enough to eat or wear, and I have to kneel in the ancestral hall every day. I feel like I've been hollowed out.]
Y: [Can you think of a way to get me out? I miss the air outside.]
Medicine Pill: [... Since you have the energy to say so much, it seems like you haven't been hollowed out yet.]
Y: [???? Are you the devil?]
Medicine Pill: [Yes.]
Y: [Hold on. What did you mean by be careful? Can you be more specific?]
However, when she sent the last message, she received another eye-catching red exclamation mark with the words, "Sending failed. The other party refused to accept your message."
Y: [????] #! Sending failed. The other party refused to accept your message.
Y: [(ΩДΩ) #! Sending failed. The other party refused to accept your message.

Huo Yao turned off WeChat and looked up to see a few burly men in black suits walking out of the lobby. The man in front was holding a silver briefcase with a passcode.
The whole group of people looked like gangsters who had just finished collecting their debts. They were big and imposing, and they carried a fierce aura that kept people away from them. The residents of the neighborhood who saw them were so scared that they took a detour.
Huo Yao narrowed her eyes and inadvertently glanced at the shiny shoes on their feet. Her expression froze for a moment.
They didn't see Huo Yao. Instead, they walked straight to the garage. They seemed to be very familiar with the place and probably frequented the place. Huo Yao could tell that they were familiar with the place.
Huo Yao frowned. She waited until they were out of sight before she slowly stood up. She pondered for a moment before she walked into the lobby and pressed the elevator button to go upstairs.
When he stepped out of the elevator, the row of shiny black leather shoes in front of the door had indeed disappeared.
