NovelEnglishChapter 467: Followed
Huo Xiang wanted to retort, but he did not dare when he saw Huo Yao looking at him.
He was instantly frightened.
Huo Xiang sighed in his heart. His wish to be a real older brother was nothing but a fantasy.
Tong Yu dropped Huo Xiang and Huo Yao outside the villa 30 minutes later and left.
They were exhausted, so they headed back to their rooms after dinner.
After Huo Yao bathed, she dried her hair before sitting down in front of the desk to turn on her computer.
She opened the web browser, accessed her mailbox, and downloaded the encrypted file that Lei Xiao had sent her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHuo Yao unlocked the zipped file and opened it to see that it was a PowerPoint file.
She clicked on it with her mouse.
The file played unhurriedly. She frowned after she read through it briefly.
This was top secret, high-level data. Why would Lei Xiao show it to her?
Although Huo Yao had helped Lei Xiao twice, she was not a professional. After all, she merely made deductions based on the data he gave her, and she had no experience working in the laboratory.
Huo Yao looked at the computer without moving the mouse. After sitting there quietly for a while, she closed the file and turned off the computer.
Huo Yao quickly stood up to light a stick of incense before she went to bed.

The next day, on her way to school, Huo Yao sat in the front passenger seat as she fiddled with her phone casually while she thought about the data that Lei Xiao had sent her.
Huo Yao looked out the window every now and then. A few traffic lights later, she suddenly sat up straight.
Inside the rearview mirror, she could see a black car following behind them somewhat suspiciously.
Even if they were going in the same direction, it did not have to follow so closely behind them. After all, there had been plenty of chances to overtake them earlier.
Huo Yao mulled over it for a bit. She raised her head and looked at Huo Jinyan beside her and said, “Dad, the car behind seems to be tailing us.”
“Oh,” replied Huo Jinyan in a rather shocked tone. He tilted his head and checked the rearview mirror before his face instantly looked angry.
Those idiots were following so closely behind that Huo Yao had spotted them.
Huo Jinyan veered his eyes and said, “Erm... They are probably going in the same direction as us.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHuo Yao looked behind again. She quietly replied. “Maybe.”
Huo Jinyan said nothing. He took his phone from the compartment and slowed down to send a text message.
After he sent the text message, the car behind quickly overtook them and drove away.
Huo Jinyan put the phone back into the compartment before he pointed at the car as its taillights disappeared into the distance. “Was that the car?”
Huo Yao raised her head to look at the car before she nodded. “Uh huh.”
“Haha! You were overthinking it. They just happened to be taking the same road.” Huo Jinyan smiled as he attempted to cover up, but he looked guilty.
“Uh huh.” Huo Yao failed to notice her father’s expression and did not put much thought into it.
Perhaps she was overly cautious.
Before long, the car pulled up at the school entrance.
After Huo Yao got out of the car, and entered the school gate, Huo Jinyan made a call.
