“I won’t intrude then. Please get back to your work, Brother Yunting.”

One must be tactful when dealing with Huo Yunting. He was obviously in a bad mood right now.

Mo Shan left the office swiftly. When she reached her car, she immediately contacted her bodyguards to monitor the neighborhood where Lu Zhaoyang lived and report to her if anything was amiss. She had long since investigated everything about Lu Zhaoyang, including her residence.

Huo Yunting sat in his office. Three days — she had been gone for three whole days!”

He had heard nothing about them so far — a remarkable feat.

Huo Li noticed his sullen mood the moment he walked in. Ever since Lu Zhaoyang was gone, he had been in this moody state.

He must find a way to lighten up the man’s mood, or the new secretary and even he would suffer the consequences!

“Brother Ting, Mu couldn’t get through to you on the phone, so he called me instead to invite you to chill out at the Golden City tonight.”

The best way to forget a woman was to find a new target.

“How is your investigation going?” Huo Yunting did not feel like doing anything of the sort.

“Brother Ting, they... remain elusive...”

Huo Li was a good investigator, but the Second Master was a professional. It was difficult to follow the man’s tracks.

Huo Yunting threw a glance at him. His whole body was radiating with a vicious aura as he said, “You lost your touch, I see.”

“Hehehe, if we haven’t found them, don’t you think that it means they are doing well? That’s good news, right?”

Huo Li said jokingly. If Brother Ting decided not to inform old grandma, then he must still be thinking of protecting her.

“They are doing well, but I am not!” Huo Yunting stood up abruptly and reached for his coat.

“Where are you going, boss?”

“The Golden City.”

“Ah? At this early hour... err, go, then. I’ll drive you there.”

Huo Li stopped awkwardly when Huo Yunting glared at him, and then offered to be the chauffeur. However, the latter waved him away. “Go away, just seeing your face annoys me.”

“Oh... Alright...” Huo Li squirmed and watched as the other man went about his daylight debauchery.

Huo Li went back to his own office in a gloomy mood, but he immediately sensed a hostile presence when he was at the door.

“Come out!” How dare she enter his office without his permission!

Lin Yazhi stepped out of his office, ignored his apparent mood, and asked, “Special Assistant Huo, do you know where Sister Zhaoyang is? She’s not picking up her phone. Last I saw her, she went back home because she’s not feeling well, but I have not seen her ever since. Is she very ill?”

“Why on earth are you asking me? Am I her father? Go do your job!”

Huo Li spread his arms in exasperation. He was still frustrated due to his failure in tracking her.

“What’s with your attitude? A loser like you doesn’t deserve to be Zhaoyang’s dad! Get off your high horse!” Lin Yazhi’s temper did not allow her to let him off the hook for being so insolent.

“As expected of a chick, are you done chirping? Don’t you have anything else to do?”

He would have punched her in the face had she been a man.

“I’m doing my job alright, but I’m worried about a colleague. Wouldn’t you? And if you call me a chick again, I’ll... I’ll...”

Lin Yazhi looked down at his feet. “I’ll keep stepping on you until you can’t walk!”

It did not escape her notice that the president was not in a good mood in the past few days and she thought it had something to do with Sister Zhaoyang. Huo Li would be a good person to talk to if she wanted to find out more.
