Chapter 1286: Something Was Wrong
The auction was almost over, so Zhuo Yun and Yang Yi were prepping to catch the intruder.
“Shall I get someone to bid for the medicine?” The surveillance camera was now on the auction area on the ground floor. He looked at the monitor as he spoke.
A bottle of medicine could be seen on the stage getting placed.
Huo Yao leaned against the seat backrest with both feet on the ground. She rarely sat so seriously. She glanced at Min Yu and said, “No, thanks.”
Min Yu turned his head and looked at her. He raised his brow and asked. “Are you really not interested?”
“I know you’re rich.” Huo Yao sighed and continued. “But I’m happy with my own medicine.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMin Yu nodded. He knew she was a brilliant apothecary and was not trying to be polite, so he did not insist. “Okay then.”
Huo Yao acknowledged softly before taking out her phone and swiping through it. She paused before she raised her head and looked at Min Yu. “Oh yes. Have you met the owner of the medicine in person?”
She paused briefly and added. “Aren’t they a very mysterious family? You’ve made me quite curious about the family now.”
Min Yu shook his head. “No, we didn’t see them in person. The medicine was sent using a third-party website. Since they are very secretive, they do not show their faces even when they come out of seclusion.”
“This means you are not sure if the medicine comes from the family, right?” asked Huo Yao as she rapped her fingers on her knee gently.
“You can say so.”
Huo Yao did not continue asking and simply turned the look at the surveillance monitor.
......
Min Yu failed to notice anything amiss while she contemplated deeply.
Huo Yao had decided to attend the auction to look at a few interesting objects. Medicine from the Shangguan family unexpectedly surfaced at the auction, so she decided to check it out in the auction store room.
The medicine was definitely produced by the Shangguan family, but she was certain it was not sent for auction by the clan.
Huo Yao had a strange feeling about the person who had sent the medicine to the auction.
The Shangguan family undoubtedly possessed far higher quality medicine. The family happened to possess a lot of ancient medical knowledge and pill refinement techniques. It was true that their medication was far more effective.
Some of the gossip was true.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmUnfortunately, these half-truths had forced the clan to go into seclusion. The family would never openly send medication to an auction house and even share its source.
Something was wrong. It felt as though someone was deliberately doing this.
As Huo Yao’s mind drifted away, she unknowingly clenched her left fist.
Min Yu finally detected something wrong with Huo Yao. He paused briefly before placing his hand on her fist. “What’s on your mind?”
When Huo Yao suddenly detected something warm on her hand, she snapped out of her thoughts and turned to look at Min Yu. He had already let go of her hand. She shook her head and replied, “Nothing.”
Min Yu did not pull his hand back. Since she did not feel like sharing, he did not keep probing. He raised his head as he pondered and looked at the surveillance footage.
Ever since they brought up the Shangguan family, the young woman started acting strange.
He had rarely seen her act this way.
