Miracle Pill Maker Bullies the Boss

1810 Safe For Now

Huo Yao nodded.

She naturally knew about Mirage Base’s security system. Other than using the base’s intranet at designated times, the security system was otherwise always in lockdown mode. It was impossible to communicate with the outside world.

As she pondered, she recalled the map she sent to Yang Yi earlier that day. He had yet to reply, so she asked him. “Did he take his phone with him?”

“Nope. Why?” Min Yu glanced at her.

“Nothing.” Huo Yao shook her head without saying much. “So, how do you communicate?”

Min Yu removed a button on his collar and placed it in his hand. “Using this.”

Huo Yao reached her hand out, took the button, and scrutinized it for a few seconds. “This looks interesting.”

It was a micro communications device. It did not require any internet or signal. As long as communication was sent within a certain distance, it could go out.

Still —

Huo Yao veered her head. “We are quite far from Mirage Base, but you were still able to communicate with him?”

Min Yu raised his brow without answering her question right away. Instead, he smiled ambiguously and said, “You seem to know a lot about Mirage Base.”

Huo Yao went quiet.

“The tech department at the bureau has developed a kind of sensor chip. As long as there is a base station, it can get a connection,” said Min Yu.

“Do you have base stations all over Country M?”

Min Yu leaned against the car seat casually. “Almost everywhere, I guess.”

Huo Yao glanced at him. What was with his tone? What did he mean by ‘I guess’?

He was so pretentious.

At this moment, the ordinary-looking button in Huo Yao’s hand vibrated.

She lowered her eyes, glanced at it, and handed it back to Min Yu. “It’s vibrating.”

Min Yu tapped the button a couple of times rhythmically and connected it to his phone.

Min Yu glanced at Huo Yao and turned the phone to hands-free mode. “Did anything happen at Mirage Base today?”

Yang Yi remained cautious on the other end of the line. He paused and quickly answered. “I don’t think so. Everything seems normal.”

Huo Yao felt slightly relieved on hearing Yang Yi’s words.

From the looks of it, Aunt Tong went prepared. She ought to be fine for the time being.

However, Aunt Tong’s unusual behavior was not a good thing. Huo Yao pondered and said, “My friend is also inside Mirage Base. She might have gone to the core district. Can you help me keep an eye on her?”

When Yang Yi heard Huo Yao’s voice, he was initially surprised, but he quickly acknowledged her. “Okay, Miss Huo. I will try.”

The faint sound of footsteps could be heard coming from outside, so Yang Yi narrowed his eyes briefly. He pushed the button on his collar and said, “Miss Huo, I don’t have time to chat any longer. Talk again soon.”

The moment he finished his sentence, the call got cut off.

When they heard the dial tone coming from the phone, Min Yu slowly put away the phone and looked at Huo Yao. “Your friend is probably safe for now.”

Huo Yao rubbed her hands briefly. After some time, she finally said, “I still have to go.”

Meanwhile, at Mirage Base.

After Yang Yi hung up the phone, the door opened.

“Zhu? What are you doing here?” The chief of the technical department was talking to someone. When he opened the door to his office and saw someone inside, he was stunned.

Yang Yi looked completely calm. When he saw the man beside the chief, he lowered his head and gave him the excuse he had prepared in advance. “I came by to give you the material report.”
