Huo Yao was starting to feel that something was amiss after calling Huo Tingrui several times.
She remembered smelling medicinal ointment coming from him last night. After she made fun of him, she became distracted. When he went upstairs, she felt surprised by the way he looked from behind.
In hindsight, his shoulder was probably hurt.
Huo Yao had already gone downstairs by the time Huo Changfeng came back.
She took out her phone as she headed out. Before long, she found the number for Huo Tingrui's assistant and dialed it.
The assistant answered the phone quickly. The moment he heard Huo Yao's voice, he did not even stop to wonder why she was calling. Instead, he anxiously said, "Your brother was taken by them. I don't know where they have taken him. They simply called me to prepare the documents…"
The assistant spoke incoherently. After Huo Yao got the gist of the story, she acknowledged him and hung up the phone.
