Chapter 1816 Detected
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
Aunt Tong might not have left home in a long time, but she knew Mirage Base much better than Huo Yao. It made no sense for Aunt Tong to get caught so easily.
Also, Aunt Tong liked to act at night and it was barely sundown right now.
She could not eliminate the possibility that someone else might have infiltrated the base and got discovered.
Hence, Huo Yao could only say 50/50.
“Then, what do you want to do now?” asked Min Yu. He could tell that this friend meant a lot to Huo Yao. Otherwise, she would not have come all the way to the base for her friend.
Huo Yao gathered her thoughts. She veered her head and glanced at the sky which was gradually going dark. “I need to go inside and check.”
Min Yu seemed to have already seen this coming and said, “I'm going with you.”
Huo Yao spun her phone and put it away. She veered her head at Min Yu. “I can handle this.”
Min Yu went speechless. He could sense that she believed that he would only be a burden.
“What I meant was… the chances of us getting caught will increase with two targets.” Huo Yao rearranged her words and explained tactfully.
Min Yu looked even more serious.
Huo Yao cleared her throat. She turned to look at Zhuo Yun and continued asking him about the situation at the base.
At this moment, a relatively soft sound of something falling on the closed dining room window could be heard as though something had bumped into it.
Huo Yao had very sensitive ears. She automatically looked toward the window.
Other than some old paper cuttings, there was nothing else there.
The moment Zhuo Yun caught the sound, he hurriedly strode over and checked outside cautiously. After he was done, he reached his hand out and opened the window. Everything in the garden seemed normal.
Zhuo Yun narrowed his eyes. Since he was unable to detect any human presence, he simply closed the window.
As he closed the window, a gray shadow hurriedly darted out and headed straight into a hole in the fence.
Zhuo Yun glanced in its direction. Since it was just a mouse, he did not take it to heart. He went back to the living room and said, “The place is a little old, so something probably fell and landed on the window.”
Huo Yao nodded and got up. “Okay then. Just wait to hear back from me.”
Min Yu also stood up. He reached his hands out to embrace Huo Yao. After some time, he let go of her and said expressionlessly, “If you don't come out in 30 minutes, you know what's going to happen.”
Huo Yao retorted. “30 minutes? Aren't you overestimating me a little?”
“20 minutes.” Min Yu looked at her firmly without giving her any room to bargain.
Huo Yao's eyes constricted. “30 minutes… it is then. Just you wait.”
The moment she finished her sentence, she quickly walked up to the door, opened it, and darted out in one smooth motion.
Min Yu shook his head powerlessly as the door closed. She was really…
“Boss, are we actually waiting here?” asked Zhuo Yun softly.
Min Yu rolled up his sleeves and glanced sideways at Zhuo Yun unhurriedly. “What do you think?”
Zhuo Yun promptly wanted to slap himself. “Got it. I will tell Yang Yi right away.”

Meanwhile, outside the small building.
When Shangguan Hou saw his little pet coming back, he put away his special flute. He waited for his little pet to deftly climb up his pant legs and back into his coat pocket.
Shangguan Hou patted it briefly coaxing it. He raised his head to look at a small building nearby and smiled sinisterly.
From the looks of it, he did not need to search for Shangguan Yu anymore since she had voluntarily come here.
Shangguan Hou took out his phone and dialed a number.
