Chapter 909: Chapter 909: Once Is Enough for Foolish Mistakes
“Doctor Huo, I was a prisoner then.” He Jingyao glanced at him, “Do you think I could oppose it?”
“You could have just stayed there! Since they didn’t use this thing to control you from the start, it means they didn’t plan to!” Huo Yanzhao said irritably, “And yet you insisted on giving them this chance?”
“If I hadn’t fought to see Zhixi, I wouldn’t be here now.” He Jingyao’s tone was indifferent, “Right now, none of this matters. What matters is how to get rid of it.”
“If it’s a bomb…” Huo Yanzhao’s expression was a bit complex, “Does that mean it could explode at any moment?”
“If it’s a bomb, then it hasn’t been activated yet, I’m quite certain.” He Jingyao said calmly.
Huo Yanzhao rubbed his temples, “Alright, let me think of a way… Since you don’t know exactly what this thing is, it’s probably best not to hastily take it out.”
He Jingyao nodded slightly, “Thank you.”
“Tsk, I find I’m just here to clean up after you.” Huo Yanzhao said irritably, taking a magnifying glass from the wall and carefully examining He Jingyao’s arm.
Just then, the office door was suddenly knocked on.
“Who is it?” Huo Yanzhao frowned.
“Bro, it’s me.” A clear male voice came in.
Huo Yanzhao paused for a moment, “Yanhui?”
He looked at He Jingyao, and seeing him nod, he said, “Come in.”
As Huo Yanhui pushed open the door, He Jingyao just put his arm down and lowered his sleeve.
Yanhui paused, “Jingyao?”
“Yeah, it’s me.” He Jingyao smiled lightly, “Why did you suddenly come back?”
Huo Yanzhao was also curious, looking at him inquisitively.
Huo Yanhui’s expression was a bit awkward. After a moment, he cleared his throat and said, “…Ye Shutong dumped me.”
Huo Yanzhao couldn’t help but chuckle, “Look at you, so unambitious.”
He Jingyao raised an eyebrow, “Oh, congratulations.”
Huo Yanhui instead gave a lazy smile, pulled out a chair, and sat down, “I told her Zhuo Yuwei was bound to lose, and she got very upset and threw me out. I told her ages ago that making an enemy of Jingyao would be even worse, but she didn’t believe me.”
Huo Yanzhao mocked him, “I thought you were already head over heels for that woman. At least you have a shred of sanity left.”
“Of course, making a mistake once is enough. Knowing your mistake but not correcting it is the worst, isn’t it?” he said, glancing at He Jingyao, looking a bit tense.
“Not bad.” He Jingyao smiled slightly, “Good usage of the idiom.”
Huo Yanhui’s expression was a bit stiff. The incident from back then he had never dared to mention, unsure whether He Jingyao still held any grudges, so every time they met, Huo Yanhui felt a bit guilty.
He didn’t know if He Jingyao had truly forgiven him or if things were the same as before.
Huo Yanzhao saw his brother’s rigid and awkward expression and chuckled. He looked at He Jingyao, “Should we let him help take a look too?”
He Jingyao raised an eyebrow, “Might as well.”
With that, he rolled up his sleeve.
Huo Yanzhao explained the situation to Huo Yanhui, whose face changed slightly.
He leaned closer and carefully observed for a while, looking a bit grim, “I know what this is.”
“You do?” He Jingyao was a bit surprised. New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on n0velfire.net
“Yes, it’s a type of micro bomb developed by Ye International, code-named N37. I once saw it in Ye Shutong’s files.” Huo Yanhui said confidently.
