After Li Zhen left, Lu Shing turned to look at Huo Yuncheng, sternly rebuking him, "Stupid boy, think before you talk in front of outsiders at least."
Huo Yunnan asked, "Uncle, I also want to know what Yuncheng asked."
Lu Rong answered, "She is Huo Yao, ZhengYu's ex-fiancée. She gave birth to her triplets' sons when she was nineteen."
Huo Yichen was surprised to learn she was the girl who made Ye ZhengYu so crazy back then.
"But ZhengYu's fiancée was with him when she was twenty,"
Lu Rong shrugged. "I don't know. Ye ZhengYu himself told us yesterday. Huo Yao didn't seem to like ZhengYu as others said back then."
Huo Yichen nodded, realizing that Ye ZhengYu's fiancée never said that she liked him herself. It was all rumors spread by Shen Tian.
Lu Shing patted Huo Yuncheng's shoulder, "Let's go inside. Dad is still sleeping, maybe." Everyone entered the ward.
...
After Huo Yao hung up her call with her children, she dialed Li Jun's number as she held her office doorknob to push it. As soon as she held the doorknob, Huo Yao paused a little, her eyes becoming very dark and terrifying, and she hung up the call.
Soon she pushed the door and entered her office. Before she turned on the light, someone launched an attack on her from behind. Huo Yao nimbly dodged the attack before punching the masked person hard.
Her actions were swift, fast, and accurate, as if she could see in the dark. Indeed, Huo Yao could see in the dark as clearly as day.
The assassin coughed as blood came out from his mouth. He felt his ribs must be broken but still tried to attack Huo Yao again.
Huo Yao simply stood still as the assassin rushed to attack her again. She even commented, "As expected of Devil's person. Never afraid of death."
As the assassin was about to touch her, Huo Yao single-handedly lifted him by gripping his neck tightly.
At first, the assassin tried to break free, attacking her with his hands and legs. But Huo Yao increased her strength, breaking his two hands. Very soon, she broke his vertebra, and he turned pale from lack of oxygen and pain.
Huo Yao threw him like a dirty ragdoll as she wiped her hands with a tissue. The assassin looked like he could die at any moment.
Huo Yao expressionlessly went to sit on the sofa, placed her legs on the tea table, and lit a cigarette.
"Devil didn't tell you that I am a monster that even he's afraid of, hmm Mr. Andy?"
She took a long drag of the cigarette and blew the smoke, making her look more mysterious.
The assassin, aka Mr. Andy, showed fear now. How did she know his name?
Huo Yao silently took in his every reaction as she continued to smoke. How did she know his name? Of course, she knew every single person's details around Devil—their smell of blood, their way of looking. That's why Huo Yao thought she was a monster, a monster that Devil turned her into for his use.
But what Devil didn't know was that she was born with more power without his knowledge. Her power flowed in her veins, growing day by day. This was also the reason she chose to bring her children to their dad, so that before she became more terrifying or died from her overgrowing power, her children would still have someone to take care of them.
"Devil has become so desperate to catch, why? Is he finally dying?"
Andy shivered when he heard her say their sir's actual name again and again. Nobody dared to call their sir Devil directly.
Huo Yao threw the cigarette butt into the ashtray, stood up, and said, "You are no fun. Give me the cell phone."
Andy became even more afraid after seeing that she knew everything but refused to hand over his phone. He remained laid on the floor.
Huo Yao tsked. Seems like he is not an obedient type. She has to use violence.
Huo Yao unhurriedly went to his side like she was strolling. She placed her leg on his vertebra as he groaned in pain. She bent to take out his phone from his pocket.
Pressed on the speaker, her lazy voice sounded, "Are you finally dying?"
A magnetic and mellow voice came from the opposite end of the phone, "Sweetheart, how can you say that about your husband? Your words really hurt me."
Huo Yao increased her stepping strength as she replied calmly, "Sending an assassin to kill me, moreover, this weak prawn? Tsk, are you so short of capable people? He is no fun. Only three moves, he looks like he can die anytime."
"That means your power increased again, honey. He is the most capable person under me," this person's voice still calm.
"Is this so? As expected. Really, what was I expecting from you. Devil himself can't defeat me, let alone some prawn like him," Huo Yao retorted lazily.
After hearing this, Devil's face darkened. Indeed, she was becoming more powerful. He was afraid that one day her power would leave him in a very low place compared to hers. What Devil didn't know was that her power was already much greater than his.
