The man did not hesitate. He immediately pressed the earpiece under his collar and whispered a secret code before turning it off. He contemplated for two seconds before he typed: [Are you helping the Min family?]
Huo Yao tapped on the keyboard gently before she replied: [Isn't Daddy helping you too?]
"Bullsh * t," replied the man with one word.
Huo Yao raised her brow slightly. She was in a good mood and did not hold it against him. "I'm off."
Just as he was about to turn off his phone, his eyes caught sight of the letter on the table. He retracted his hand and sent another message. [Don't accept any missions related to the Min family in the future. Just take it as a favor to me.]
He did not even address himself as Daddy anymore.
The man straightened his back and typed: [Are you still saying you aren't helping the Min family?]
"If you say so... then you can take it that way," replied Huo Yao slowly.
The man's lips twitched before he typed: [I remember you accepted a mission related to the Min family a long time ago, right? What happened? Did you return it? Did you bury the hatchet with the Min family? Are you no longer wanted by them?]
Huo Yao: "..."
Fine. Did he have to make things difficult for her?
Huo Yao closed the chat box and typed furiously on the keyboard. 30 seconds later, she pressed the confirm button and turned off the computer.
Meanwhile, in the villa next door, Yang Yi's computer screen suddenly flashed. The next second, a satellite image appeared on the screen. It was the kind that showed street and shop addresses.
A red dot was flashing on the image. It was in a cafe 200 meters away from Evergreen Gallery.
Yang Yi was stunned when he saw the image. He did not expect to track down the person so easily. Although it was rather sudden, he did not have the luxury of time to think about it. He put on his phone and ordered his men to go after the person.
An hour later, the man finally got out of trouble. He took out his phone and sent a message to Huo Yao.
[Damn it. You win.]
Huo Yao glanced at the time when she saw the message. Then she shook her head.
It took him an hour to get away. He was not just any weakling.

In the evening, Huo Jinyan came back from the art exhibition. He was all smiles and seemed to be in a good mood.
Huo Yao curled up on the couch with a book in her hand. She glanced at her old man, who was oblivious to the fact that he had almost gotten himself into trouble, and shook her head.
After thinking for a moment, she reminded him, "Dad, it's almost the New Year. Don't go out too often. It's not safe."
Huo Jinyan did not know what his daughter was thinking. He merely thought she was concerned about him, so he said, "Uh huh. Thanks to Little Min, I was lucky enough to meet three master appraisers at the art exhibition."
Huo Jinyan could not stop talking about calligraphy and masters. His eyes sparkled, and he could not stop talking for a long time.
Huo Yao listened to him as she read and occasionally responded to him.
Huo Jinyan seemed to recall something and raised his head to look at his daughter. "Oh yes. Give Min a call. Let's have dinner together. I have to thank him... Forget it. I'll tell him myself."
Huo Jinyan took out his phone.
Huo Yao pressed her forehead and closed the book. She sat up straight and reached out to take his phone. "It's too late, Dad."
Huo Jinyan was stunned. "What's too late?"
