Chapter 400: Did Your Computer Die?
“I’m heading back now.” Huo Yao waved her hand.
Min Yu got up and said unhurriedly, “Let me walk you out.”
“It’s okay.” Huo Yao shook her head and stepped around him.
She accidentally tripped on the carpet and stumbled. Before she managed to steady herself, someone had gripped her by the arm.
“Watch out.” A husky voice came from above her head.
Huo Yao raised her head and made eye contact with Min Yu’s deep eyes. She was slightly startled before she straightened herself. “Thanks.”
Min Yu let her go and said in a gentlemanly manner, “You’re welcome.”
“Bye.” Huo Yao was more careful this time. A few moments later, she saw Yang Yi walking towards her with his laptop.
Yang Yi nodded and bowed politely at her.
Huo Yao nodded too. When she brushed past Yang Yi, she caught sight of his laptop from the corner of her eye and halted.
She turned her head and glanced at his laptop.
Yang Yi detected Huo Yao gazing at him. He could not help asking her quizzically. “Miss Huo?”
Huo Yao pointed at his laptop monitor and asked him. “Did your laptop die?”
The monitor was black and some code was jumping on it.
Yang Yi’s lips twitched. Since not everyone knew about hacking, he did not attempt to explain what was going on and nodded patronizingly.
Huo Yao veered her eyes away with a calm look on her face. She said nothing as she headed for the door.
Sometime after she left, Yang Yi composed himself and went back to the living room with his laptop.
Min Yu glanced at him. “Still trying to break the record?”
Yang Yi looked at the code running on his laptop screen and replied. “Uh huh. I wonder what kind of coding prodigy Y is. It’s impossible to crack his barriers.”
Min Yu leaned into the couch with a hand on his knee as he rapped his fingers gently, every now and then. “If it were that easy, you would’ve reached the first position a long time ago.”
Yang Yi quietly lowered his head. That really hurt his feelings.
He was too embarrassed to say that he had already spent half a month working on this but was incapable of making any breakthrough.
Zhuo Yun raised his head and suddenly said, “I just received news that Old Master is on his way here.”
Listening to him, Yang Yi almost lost his grip on the laptop. His face trembled as he looked at Zhuo Yun. “Who did you say was coming over?”
“Old Master,” Zhuo Yun looked like he was about to die. “Don’t tell me that he discovered the tea was missing?”
Yang Yi shivered. He turned his head to look at his boss and said solemnly, “Yu, can I ask for a transfer to Africa?”
He could even leave tonight!
Zhuo Yun’s lips twitched hard. “...”
Sure enough, the guy was going all out to avoid Old Master!
Min Yu glanced at Yang Yi calmly before his eyes landed on Zhuo Yun. He asked him in his usual lazy manner. “When is he coming?”
Zhuo Yun shook his head and said solemnly, “I didn’t get any specifics. Maybe tomorrow, or the day after, or next week. I’m really not sure.”
Min Yu leaned into the couch and felt troubled. He rubbed his forehead helplessly. “Get our men to stay sharp.”
“Okay.”

Huo Yao walked out of the villa and headed slowly back to her place. When she reached the door, she spotted Huo Tingrui walking out.
“Brother Tingrui, are you going out?”
