Chapter 944: She Isn’t With Me
Nie Su handed the Chinese cultural research magazine to her son and said, “Take a look at this article. It’s very interesting.”
Min Yu simply glanced at her. “I am not interested.”
Nie Su said angrily, “Your father and I are Geography and History researchers. Why aren’t you interested?”
Min Yu did not answer her. His phone suddenly rang again.
He looked at the caller ID and felt unsurprised.
Min Yu pressed to answer the phone and said, “I am not home.”
Huo Yulin went quiet. He had been standing outside Min Yu’s villa pressing the doorbell, but no one answered the door, so he had to call Min Yu again.
“Brother Yulin, why did you call?” Min Yu crossed his legs and adjusted his posture as he spoke in a mild tone.
Huo Yulin inexplicably felt agitated. He inhaled deeply. “Where did you take my little sister?”
“Hmm?” Min Yu didn’t quite get it. He paused before he answered. “She isn’t with me.”
Huo Yulin looked through the villa gates and wondered whether Min Yu was speaking the truth.
“Hasn’t she gone home yet?” asked Min Yu when Huo Yulin went quiet for a long time.
Huo Yulin frowned the moment he heard this. “Is she really not with you?”
“Nope.” Even though there was no change in Min Yu’s tone, he was clearly speaking the truth.
Huo Yulin hung up the phone altogether.

Min Yu held his phone as he contemplated. He swiped down to Huo Yao’s number in his address book and called her.
Her phone was off.
Min Yu narrowed his eyes and pondered. Since Huo Yulin had to resort to calling him, he must have had trouble getting in touch with Huo Yao.
After sitting for a couple more minutes, Min Yu stood up from the couch. “Mom, I have to go.”
Nie Su was caught by surprise. She raised her head and glanced at the kitchen. “Dinner is almost ready. Can’t you eat before you go?”
“Nope,” said Min Yu mildly before he strode out of the villa.
Nie Su frowned as she watched as her son left in a hurry. What was going on?
Min Yu called Yang Yi as he drove out of the villa. “Go find out where Huo Yao is now.”
Yang Yi felt puzzled when he received the call, but he quickly answered. “Okay. I am on it.”
Min Yu acknowledged Yang Yi before hanging up the phone expressionlessly.
He knew Huo Yao was not the sort of person to leave home without a word.

Meanwhile, at the hospital’s underground parking lot.
Shortly after the three of them got their arms fixed, they left the orthopedics department with their arms hanging in bandages from the neck. When they got to the parking lot, they wanted to open the car door, but they instantly sensed someone striking their heads before they passed out instantaneously.
They only woke up after someone poured cold water on them.
“Where is she?” Chen Ming stood in front of them with an absolutely glacial aura.
Even though they did not know Chen Ming, they were terribly intimidated by his aura.
“Who… who are you talking about?”
Chen Ming squatted slightly with a murderous look in his dark eyes. “I will give you only one chance.”
The man kneeling on the ground was the leader. Huo Yao had just scammed off his money. He glanced at the object Chen Ming was holding in his hand and his pupils instantly constricted in fear
It was… it was shockingly a gun.
“Erm… May I ask who you are talking about?” asked the man with his voice trembling after he suppressed the fear in his heart.
Chen Ming smiled sinisterly as he slowly raised the weapon in his hand.
The man watched as Chen Ming raised the gun and pointed it at his temple.
He suddenly recalled Huo Yao. “I… I remember now. The girl is at Young Master Zhi’s villa located at Clear Water Bay…”
