Chapter 1476: Make The Same Choice

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

Old Madam Yang suddenly passed away and Lu Xia left the country. These events must be connected in some way.

Initially, she simply assumed that Lu Xia had a flawed personality owing to her tragic life circumstances. From the looks of it now, it was completely in her nature to be this way.

She was heartless by choice.

Huo Yao responded coolly. “Continue investigating her.”

“Sure, Miss Huo,” replied Chen Ming. “What about the escapee?”

“It’s fine.” Huo Yao interrupted promptly.

Shangguan Hou had probably left the country by now. Even if he was still around, he had the ability to use human skin masks, so it was impossible to recognize him.

It no longer mattered to her to continue looking for him.

Even if she managed to find Shangguan Hou, more people wanting the same things would show up.

As long as the establishment was in existence, more people would disturb their peace.

It was simply unavoidable.

Meanwhile, on the other end. Shangguan Hou was already on a flight bound for Country M. He had already changed his disguise and was wearing another human skin mask.

“Mr. Shangguan, please don’t come out on your own again. You should be glad nothing bad happened this time around. If something did, I’m sure the professor would explode.”

A foreigner stood beside Shangguan Hou with a worried look on his face.

Shangguan Hou leaned against the seat backrest gently as he swayed a glass of red wine in his hand. He looked sideways at the foreigner. “Don’t worry. I’m not meant to die yet, so nothing will happen.”

“I was very worried,” said the man with fear lingering in his heart.

Shangguan Hou took a sip of wine without taking the man’s words to heart. “I have to thank you for making it there in time.”

Otherwise, he would probably be stuck in the country for a long time.

“I could only do it with Mr. Fan’s help,” said the foreigner hurriedly.

“Fan Shun?” Shangguan Hou narrowed his eyes for some time before he finally nodded. “I would like to see him. Please make the arrangements.”

“Okay.” The man nodded and glanced at Shangguan Hou. Ever since he picked up Shangguan Hou, the man seemed to be in a good mood. No one would have guessed that Shangguan Hou was nearly apprehended.

He pondered and asked him. “Why are you in such a good mood?”

“I found something.” Shangguan Hou smiled blatantly.

A puzzled look swept across the man’s eyes before he asked quizzically. “What did you find?”

Shangguan Hou did not bother to answer the man. After drinking all the wine in his glass, he sighed and said, “Sadly, it’s hard to get my hands on it.”

The foreigner did not quite understand what Shangguan Hou was referring to, but he could tell it meant a lot to Shangguan Hou.

Since Shangguan Hou refused to give him more details, he was in no position to ask anything further.

Shangguan Hou failed to detect the foreigner’s reaction. He simply turned around and looked out of the window profoundly.

The Shangguan clan was his trump card, so he naturally could not divulge it to an outsider.

The next afternoon, Huo Yao went to the hotel to see Mi Wei.

He had just arrived in City S with Chen Ming.

The two of them sat on the couch for some time until Mi Wei smiled sadly as he said, “I’m sorry. If not for me, this wouldn’t have happened.”

Huo Yao looked calm. She knew what Mi Wei was trying to say, so she interrupted him. “Even if we could travel back in time, I would’ve done the same.”
