1875 Investigate
Chairman Sheng had just gotten into the airport lobby when a young man got off the car behind. The young man was handsome, but he was dressed flamboyantly.
It was none other than Meng Jue. He had rushed over.
As he entered the airport, he held his phone and gave Huo Yao a call.
He looked anxious about being too late.
Huo Yao heard her phone ring, so she walked to the side to answer it. When Chairman Sheng got there, she had already answered Meng Jue’s call.
“Are you heading back with us too?” Chairman Sheng did not expect to see Min Yu there, so his face was filled with surprise.
Min Yu nodded courteously. “I still have work to finish here. I’m just here to see my father off.”
Hearing this, Chairman Sheng smiled. “Okay then. You should come over for dinner at my place after you get back.”
“Sure thing,” acknowledged Min Yu.
Huo Yao hung up the phone. When she turned to see Chairman Sheng standing beside Min Yu and Prof Min, her gaze paused briefly.
Chairman Sheng was in his fifties and gave off a powerful aura.
This man did not seem familiar to her in any way.
Chairman Sheng seemed to notice someone looking, so he raised his head and looked around before his eyes finally turned in Huo Yao’s direction.
When their eyes made contact, Chairman Sheng was stunned. He looked at Min Yu and asked, “That young woman. Is she not your girlfriend? She went to the underground palace with us, right?”
Min Yu nodded calmly. “Uh huh. Do you remember her?”
Chairman Sheng smiled. He sighed and said, “She’s good. You have good taste.”
As he spoke, Huo Yao walked over.
Min Yu glanced at her and introduced the chairman to her. “This is Chairman Sheng.”
“Nice to meet you.” Huo Yao greeted him politely.
Chairman Sheng waved his hand looking genial. “We are in a slight crunch for time. When we are free, we should catch up over dinner at my place along with Yu.”
Chairman Sheng turned the watch on his wrist and nodded. He did not continue talking to them. “Why don’t you go on chatting? I’m going over first.”
He pointed at his colleagues from the archaeological team nearby and left.
Huo Yao did not continue looking at Chairman Sheng. She acted as though she simply greeted him casually and exchanged a few words with him.
At this moment, Meng Jue came into sight. Since Huo Yao was in the company of others, he did not dare to come closer no matter how anxious he was. He simply waited a couple of meters away from her.
Before long, it was time for Prof Min to go through the security checks with the rest of the archaeological team, so he did not chat with Huo Yao and Min Yu for long.
After watching the archaeological team go through the security checks, Huo Yao and Min Yu finally veered their eyes.
Min Yu looked at Huo Yao. “Chairman Sheng is the chairman, but he’s often not in the capital.”
Huo Yao already saw Meng Jue waiting by the side. As Min Yu spoke, she headed to the side. She asked, “Why not?”
“He is more enthusiastic about doing archaeology. Most of the time, he is flying between countries, so no one knows of his whereabouts,” Min Yu spoke casually with his hands in his pockets.
Huo Yao raised her brow hearing this. “He is the chairman of the Archaeology Association, but no one knows of his whereabouts. It sounds strange.”
“Did you notice anything today?” asked Min Yu.
Huo Yao pondered briefly and shook her head. “Nope. He seemed pretty normal.”
In terms of the way he carried himself and his reaction, she did not notice anything wrong. As far as the eye could see, he was normal.
However, she could not help feeling a little puzzled.
