1737 Tense Atmosphere
Xie narrowed his eyes. Suddenly, his voice did not sound as nice as before. “The chief steward is busy.”
Unrest had broken out in the Southern region, so the chief steward had to go over. Huo Qing probably had a hand in this as well.
Now that the chief steward was gone and no one knew when Master Jinfeng would wake up, he had to be cautious. He could not let others take the opportunity to cause trouble.
“Oh really? How could he not be here at a time like this?” asked Huo Qing inconceivably.
Xie did not bother to answer Huo Qing.
Huo Qing smiled and turned to look at the elders. “From the looks of it, Master Jinfeng isn’t seriously injured at all. Otherwise, Changfeng wouldn’t leave.”
The moment they heard what he said, the elders were even more determined to see Huo Jinfeng.
“Xie, you may leave. We have to see Master Jinfeng today.” The elders stopped trying to be polite.
Without Huo Changfeng around, why should they be scared?
The elders proceeded to continue walking after hearing this.
Xie veered his head slightly. The men behind him lined up on both his sides and blocked the entire corridor. They held their weapons to their chest making it clear that they would fire at will.
The elders promptly felt provoked by them.
“How dare you?”
He was just a lowly subordinate. How dare he disrespect them?
“If you want to see Master Jinfeng, you’ll have to step over our dead bodies.” Xie smiled coldly.
The bodyguards were all dressed in black giving off a murderous aura. The atmosphere in the corridor felt tense as though a fight would break out at any moment.
“Master Jinfeng is always courteous to me. Who the hell do you think you are?” The elder laughed in anger.
Xie was unafraid, but he did not answer him either.
They only took orders from Master Jinfeng and Chief Steward, so they did not care about offending the elders.
The elders were so angry that they wanted to charge forward. However, they forcibly backed off on account of the weapons hanging on the bodyguards.
Huo Qing’s lips curved upward imperceptibly.
Sure enough, Huo Changfeng’s subordinates played their parts well. They had successfully offended all the elders. Now that they had incurred public wrath, he could not wait to see what Huo Jinfeng and his side of the family would do to clean up the mess.
Everyone stood in the corridor refusing to compromise for five entire minutes. Huo Qing felt it was enough, so he parted his lips wanting to speak. At this moment, the lift door chimed from behind.
The atmosphere was intense, so the chime from the lift sounded particularly loud in the corridor.
Everyone instinctively raised their heads and looked at the lift.
The lift door opened to reveal two people standing inside.
One of them was a young woman. She was holding a medical report in her hand and softly saying something to the hospital president beside her.
When she detected people looking at her, she slowly raised her head.
The hospital president saw lots of people standing in the corridor and the weapons in the bodyguards’ hands. Even though he had seen this many times, he was still startled by the sight.
His face turned a little white.
The person talking to the hospital president was none other than Huo Yao. She looked calmly at the people in front of her before veering her eyes. She serenely walked out of the lift.
The hospital president was a little afraid. After all, no one could afford to offend them. The moment Huo Yao stepped out, he automatically followed behind her.
When Xie saw Huo Yao, the coldness on his face dissipated. He quickly walked up in front of her and bowed reverently. “Miss Huo.”
