Chapter 105: Delicate Probing

In the photography studio, Yun Shuiyao was quietly sitting in the rest area waiting for Yun Chengdong's shoot to conclude.

Suddenly, her phone rang. Upon seeing the caller ID, Yun Shuiyao's eyes subtly changed. She picked up her phone and silently left the studio.

"Hello?"

"The medicine you gave me has been thoroughly verified," came a hoarse male voice from the other end.

Yun Shuiyao's grip on her phone tightened slightly as she hurriedly asked, "What were the results? Is it..."

"It's the M5 medicine..."

Yun Shuiyao's breath caught, her pupils slightly quivering.

The man continued, "But it's somewhat different from the previous M5 medicine; some trace components are not the same. The exact effects must be determined through experimentation. However, the amount of medicine you provided is too small to conduct any experiments."

Yun Shuiyao's voice tightened, "No need for experiments. It's definitely the M5 medicine. Yun Mu must have known about the secret from years ago..."

"Hold on!" Compared to Yun Shuiyao's panic, the man's voice remained relatively calm as he reassured her, "Even if Yun Mu knows about the M5 medicine, she doesn't necessarily know the truth from back then. Moreover, she couldn't possibly have any evidence. Remember, what happened back then has nothing to do with you."

Yun Shuiyao took a deep breath, her emotions gradually stabilizing.

"Don't lose your composure. Forget about the sanatorium incident from back then. This medicine might just become your chance to take down Yun Mu."

"What chance?" Yun Shuiyao asked hastily.

The man chuckled coldly, "She went to such great lengths to develop the M5 medicine, surely it's for Huo Tingying. But tell me, that short-lived ghost, how many days could he possibly last under the effects of the M5 medicine?"

Yun Shuiyao knew all too well about the side effects of the M5 medicine.

It was likely that this medicine would result in an immediate death!

A hint of coldness flashed across Yun Shuiyao's eyes as she smiled, "I know what to do. By the way, Mama Zhang is dead. Keep a close watch on her hometown."

"Alright."

Yun Shuiyao hung up the call, her previously heavy and tense mood instantly lightening.

She took out the small amount of medicine she had kept in her bag, her eyes flickering.

Yun Mu was someone who escaped from that base; she should know better than anyone what kind of nightmare and hellish scene it was inside. There was no way she didn't know the truth hidden within the M5 medicine.

Yet she insisted on developing the M5 medicine, surely it was under the guise of saving Huo Tingying, intending to put him to death, then monopolize the Huo family's wealth, go off with Yi Jue, and casually hook up with that blonde devilish man.

This greedy and vicious slut!

Yun Shuiyao imagined a grand drama unfolding.

She had to inform Yi Jue about how terrifying this woman truly was.

...

The director was particularly excited after capturing the shots he wanted.

By the time the shooting ended, it was already evening.

Yun Mu, having been tormented for half a day, could finally catch her breath.

She took a light sip of red wine, set down her glass, and prepared to head to the dressing room to change and remove her makeup. However, upon turning around, she met a pair of deep, narrow eyes.

She smiled seductively, elegantly walking up to the man before her, her lips curling, "Waiting for me for hours, Mr. Huo is truly a devoted husband."

Her eyes sparkled, captivating and flirtatious, yet also playful and lively like a young girl.

This little woman could truly handle any style.

Looking at Yun Mu before him, Huo Tingying smiled, "Right now, I'm your client and financial backer."

Almost forgot that this dog of a man had just acquired this game company.

Yun Mu sighed, her face showing disappointment, "Well, seems I was being presumptuous. I'll go change then."

However, the man beside her grabbed her wrist, his smile looking rather mischievous, "Let me help you change."

"..."

Yun Mu wanted to slap his handsome face.

"Big boss, your employees are everywhere. Mind your image," Yun Mu teased with a smile, "Don't forget, your current identity is a male third party trying to turn things around?"

The woman before him had removed her veil, her makeup was exquisite, and her gaze was captivating and alluring.

Huo Tingying lowered his head, a smile playing on his lips, "Isn't that perfect? This scene is quite suitable for an affair."

As he said this, he prepared to lean in for a kiss.

Yun Mu sensed his intentions and raised the wine glass in her hand to block his handsome face, shaking her head, "Refused."

Huo Tingying narrowed his eyes, staring fiercely at her red lips before releasing her wrist, "Then never mind. You're really heartless. I don't remember who just said they'd give a reward."

Was this dog of a man seeking a reward?

Yun Mu chuckled softly. A pill appeared in her hand, which she offered to his thin lips, raising her eyebrows, "Here, your reward."

"What is this, medicine?" Huo Tingying frowned lightly.

"Yes, freshly made medicine, more poisonous than arsenic. Dare you eat it?" Yun Mu's lips curved into a smile, but her pupils were slightly narrowed.

Huo Tingying, now that you know I'm concocting the M5 potion, dare you still consume my medicine?

Huo Tingying lowered his eyes, his long lashes concealing the emotions in his gaze.

Yun Mu's eyes locked onto him, subtly probing.

After a moment, he seemed to let out a light chuckle, "Truly petty, the reward is just a single pill."

With that, he bent his head and took the pill from her fingertip into his mouth.

His warm lips and tongue seemed to deliberately graze her fingertip...

Yun Mu's heart skipped a beat, she lifted her eyes in surprise, "Aren't you afraid I'll poison you?"

"If it's from you, even arsenic I would eat."

Yun Mu's fingertips tightened slightly.

Does this man trust her so completely?

Huo Tingying grinned mischievously, "Considering how much faith I have in you and how obedient I am, would you consider giving me another reward?"

"It can be arranged, what do you want?"

Huo Tingying leaned down, his slender fingers tapping his own cheek.

This shameless man...

Yun Mu smiled understandingly, tiptoeing to press her lips against his.

But at that moment, the man suddenly stood up, pulling her delicate waist into his arms, and then placed a kiss on the corner of her lips.

A fleeting touch, a brief taste.

"Exhausted, right? Let's go get something to eat."

Letting her off so easily?

Something felt off about this man today.

Yun Mu, feeling a little flustered from his kiss, cleared her throat and nodded, "Alright, I'll go change clothes."

Huo Tingying ruffled her hair, smiling indulgently, "Go ahead."

This tender scene was caught by Yun Shuiyao as she approached.

Her grip on the vial of potion tightened, her body trembling slightly.

What good would it do to tell Yi Jue?

He might just tolerate everything about this vile Yun Mu, or worse, help her cover up any evidence.

Better to go straight to Old Master Huo.

The old man's favoritism for Huo Tingying, his illegitimate son, was well-known.

She didn't believe that Old Master Huo would allow Yun Mu to harm his beloved grandson!

Yun Mu, wait for your expulsion from the Huo family!

Yun Shuiyao gritted her teeth and turned around.

"Rao'er, what are you doing here? I've been looking for you for ages."

As she turned the corner, Yun Chengdong's voice echoed.

Yun Shuiyao was slightly startled, glancing back before quickly running forward to take Yun Chengdong's arm, "I just got a call, Third Brother, let's go."
