Chapter 1172: You Just Have To Give The Order
Huo Yao shrugged and replied in a mild tone. “Dinner plans with the Song family.”
Min Yu was surprised to hear this. He could tell that Huo Yao did not like the Song family and had also read Zhuo Yun’s investigation report about them. He asked. “Why are you meeting them?”
“Settling the problem at its root.” Huo Yao did not explain in detail since it was unnecessary.
Min Yu contemplated briefly and asked again. “Where is the dinner held? Is it at the Song residence?”
“Nope.” Huo Yao shook her head and told him the name of the clubhouse.
Min Yu looked at her. Her black coat made her look even colder. He said, “I will send you there.”
Huo Yao put down the milk tea and turned down his offer. “I’m good. I can get there on my own just fine.”
Min Yu nodded and did not insist. “Call me if you need me.”
“Uh huh.” Huo Yao did not continue talking. Min Yu was holding her hand with their fingers intertwined. She turned sideways and glanced at him.
Min Yu pursed his lips. Just when he was dying to kiss her, his phone rang at the worst time.
He sighed gently. However, he did not let go of Huo Yao’s hand and simply answered the phone with his free hand.
Min Jian’s voice came from over the phone. “Are you done assembling it?”
Min Yu leaned into the couch and replied angrily. “Almost.”
Min Jian beamed upon hearing this. “Already? In that case, send it over the minute you are done. Otherwise, I can send someone over to pick it up from you.”

“I will send someone to bring it over to the camp later,” answered Min Yu mildly.
“That works too. Your men are more reliable,” replied Min Jian as he chuckled happily. He was in a good mood, so they discussed work a while more before he said, “We haven’t gone out drinking in some time. Shall we have dinner tonight?”
Min Yu raised his brow. He paused for a couple of seconds before he nodded and replied. “Sure. I will text you the address.”
Min Jian was planning to go back to the old residence for a drinking session. He reckoned his nephew had yet to take dinner, so he said, “Fine. See you later.”
“Uh huh,” acknowledged Min Yu. He glanced at Huo Yao and contemplated briefly.
Huo Yao did not linger at Min Yu’s place for long. After receiving a call from Chen Ming, she left the villa.
Huo Yao’s car arrived at the clubhouse at 7:00 pm.
After parking the car, Huo Yao got out. Chen Ming was already waiting for her there. He walked over and greeted her. “Evening, Miss Huo.”
Huo Yao nodded politely. “Hi, Uncle Ming.”
Chen Ming pointed at the lift nearby. As they walked over, he said, “Song Zhi genuinely invited a lot of influential people in town to attend this banquet.”
Huo Yao nodded and entered the lift.
Chen Ming asked as he pressed the lift button. “The Song family’s banquet is about to begin. Do you plan on going now or later?”
“Let’s just go in,” said Huo Yao.
“Yes, Miss Huo.” Chen Ming pressed for the banquet hall located on the third floor and stepped aside. He added. “The men are in place. You just have to give the order.”
Huo Yao’s lips twitched. “I’m good.”
Chen Ming acknowledged a little disappointedly.
Before long, the lift stopped on the third floor.
The two of them walked out of the lift.
Song Zhi was still waiting in the lobby. After inviting a guest to go upstairs first, he looked at the revolving door.
There was no one walking in and out of the revolving door.
Song Zhi raised his hand to check his watch. It was already 7:00 pm, but Song Ning and Huo Yao were nowhere to be seen. He took out his phone and wanted to call Song Ning.
