Chapter 167: Can I Ask You Something?

Huo Jinyao looked at Qiu Yanbo from top to bottom, his penetrating gaze shrouded with indiscernible intent.

However, in only a few seconds, he promptly turned around and continued to look for Qingsang. When he arrived, he got the news that the medical team was doing fine, and had even participated in the rescue mission.

While he was still in the midst of turning away, Qiu Yanbo spoke, seemingly as if he knew what he was going to do. “Qingsang is conducting surgery in there. She probably won’t be out for a while.”

He twitched his mouth, pointing towards one of the tents. Huo Jinyao’s footsteps paused. He turned around casually and looked at Qiu Yanbo.

When their eyes met, the air between them seemed to be laced with explosives.

Huo Jinyao was no longer in haste to look for Su Qingsang. He took a step forward and stood before Qiu Yanbo.

“Director Qiu, can I ask you something — what exactly are you doing here?”

“What do you think?”

Qiu Yanbo didn’t answer his question directly. He had an amused look on his face.

“I don’t know you well enough, Director Qiu, so of course I don’t know the answer to that. However, I think that the Li family and the Su family should be well aware of this, don’t you think so?”

Qiu Yanbo chuckled. He looked unperturbed. “You don’t have to bring up the Su family and the Li family, Director. Although the Qiu family dare not claim that we have the biggest influence in town, when I, Qiu Yanbo, have my mind set on achieving a goal, nobody can stop me.”

“I truly admire your confidence, Director Qiu. However, a word of advice, if I may.”

“What is it?”

Huo Jinyao tucked both his hands into the pockets of his trousers, his handsome face etched with an ominous look.

“In this life, one should be aware of the limits of one’s capabilities. In addition, one has to learn how to appreciate what they’ve got. Those who lust after things that don’t belong to them will never have a pleasant end — that’s all.”

“Thank you for the reminder, Director Huo. However, I’m a rebel at heart — I just love turning things that don’t belong to me into mine, for I find that process extremely exciting. What do you think, Director Huo?”

Huo Jinyao had an ugly look on his face. He was restraining the impulse to aim a punch at Qiu Yanbo.

“Wah, wah—” An infant’s cry broke out from the inside.

The husband from earlier almost dashed inside instantly. A nurse emerged.

“Family of Li Xiuli, both mother and child are safe. The lady has some injuries, she needs to lie down and rest.”

“Thank you, Doctor, thank you.”

When Su Qingsang and Director Chen finally emerged from the tent, they were both drenched in sweat.

They never thought that they would encounter such a dangerous situation on this trip.

Rubbing the spot between her brows, Su Qingsang was about to grab a drink when two bottles of water appeared before her.

Qiu Yanbo presented the bun and water he had prepared earlier.

Huo Jinyao held the other bottle.

Su Qingsang went into a state of shock when she saw Huo Jinyao. She even forgot to take the bottle from his hands. historical

“What’s wrong? Are you feeling confused, dear?”

Huo Jinyao pressed the bottle into her hand, slight traces of amusement playing in his eyes.

With his sudden appearance, Su Qingsang just kept staring and couldn’t be bothered to take the bottle. She simply continued to look blankly, unable to break out of her daze.

“Huo Jinyao?”

She looked at the bottle of water and glanced back at him. Is he real?

“Mmhmm.”

Huo Jinyao nodded, stifling a smile at her dumbfounded expression.

Observing how she still had no reaction, he couldn’t stop himself from stretching out an arm to pull Su Qingsang into an embrace.

It was past mid-autumn. Lin City might be located in the south, but it was still pretty cold. Especially for Huo Jinyao, who had made his way here without an umbrella, worrying sick about Su Qingsang.

His clothes were entirely drenched, his body clammy with moisture.

Caught in his embrace, Su Qingsang didn’t feel the slightest chill from him at all.

His firm, solid embrace made her stretch out her arms to hug him back tightly.
