The Mysterious Heiress: Researcher In Disguise-Novel2

Chapter 502: Sour

The crowd in the room turned to look at Fu Zhi with a frown.

“You want to acquire the Zheng Family?” Fu Zhi asked Li Nanli.

Li Nanli lifted his eyes and replied, “Yeah.”

“The illness about Old Master Zheng is fake,” Fu Zhi said as she threw the gaming console on the table, “You guys should probably rework your plan.”

She sounded very serious, and perhaps because of this, it made Jiang Jinshu, who had a problem with her at the beginning, throw the document onto the table and said, “Ms. Fu, Old Master Zheng’s stroke is a matter that we dared to bring to the meeting only after a thorough investigation. I have been working back and forth for over a month on this, so are you questioning my ability right now?”

A few people beside Jiang Jinshu were angry as well, as they felt Fu Zhi was messing with them.

“Old Master Zheng’s family has recorded a video and sent it to the Hacker Alliance hoping that “Z God” could help him. Young Master Jiang also has sent people to investigate this.”

“That’s right. I don’t think the people in the Zheng Family will make fun of Old Master Zheng’s body condition.”

“We have also sought professional help regarding the truthfulness of the video. It’s confirmed that Old Master Zheng is critically ill, and now you’re saying that he’s faking it? Isn’t it absurd?”

Fu Zhi peeled an orange for herself, raised her head, and replied, “Yes. You guys are right. The Zheng Family told everyone that Old Master Zhen had gotten a stroke. However, stroke is an illness characterized by ischemic and hemorrhagic damage to the brain. Instead of that, it shows that Old Master Zheng is having generalized seizures and foaming at the mouth after he falls to the floor in the video. Therefore, I can confirm that he’s faking epilepsy.”

The symptoms of stroke and epilepsy were similar, but there was a subtle difference between the two.

Epilepsy could be inherited, but a stroke was mainly caused by hemorrhagic damage to the brain. Normal people might not be able to differentiate between epilepsy and stroke, but it was as easy as a piece of cake for an experienced neurosurgeon.

Considering the Zheng Family’s condition and status, they could have invited doctors from overseas to treat Old Master Zheng, but the people in the Zheng Family did not do that. They just announced to the outside world that he was having a stroke. They were worried about Old Master Zheng, but they did not show any effort in trying to find out what was going on with him. Similarly, the same could also be proven that these people had not let any expert neurosurgeon make professional judgments about the old man’s illness as they had claimed.

Fu Zhi had watched the video before.

It had been a very long time since she took on a mission, and the Zheng Family offered her 80 million yuan. It was indeed a very attractive offer.

However, upon closer inspection, she found something was not right. The whites part of Old Master Zheng’s eyes were normal, and his tongue did not seem stiff when he was wriggling on the floor.

“Hah, you talked as if you’ve watched the video yourself, but with all due respect, I wonder how you managed to get the video that the Zheng Family sent to the Hacker Alliance? After all, you’re just a young girl who is still attending high school,” Jiang Jinshu said.

Fu Zhi frowned.

Jiang Jinshu continued, “We’re discussing something very important. If you really want to be helpful, please turn down the volume of…”

Before Jiang Jinshu could finish his sentence, Li Nanli threw a glance at him and said, “Jiang Jinshu.” action

After receiving a warning from Li Nanli, Jiang Jinshu could only close his mouth reluctantly.

Fu Zhi popped a piece of orange into her mouth and said, “The Zheng Family is the largest mafia group in Myanmar. Things like this are very common, and besides, I’m pretty good at diagnosing an illness. However, there’s nothing I can do as well if you don’t believe in me.”

After all, it was an impossible task to wake up a man who was faking his sleep. Fu Zhi did not want to argue with Jiang Jinshu since he was no expert in the medical industry, not to mention that he was in no place to make any decision as well. As such, she just looked straight at Li Nanli.

The people in the Zheng Family were outlaws. No one could predict what they were going to do next. Besides, there was also this saying that went like this, “a powerful dragon cannot crush a snake in its old haunts.”. They were in a foreign land, and no matter how meticulous they were, the Zheng Family would find a chance to try and harm them if they wanted to. Since they knew Myanmar better than them.

Fu Zhi took her luggage and said, “There are too many people here, so I want to go to the airport right now.”

Li Nanli lifted his brow and asked, “Now?”

“Yes, now.”

At the same time, Jiang Jinshu could not hold himself back anymore and added, “Can’t you just wait a little longer? It will be a dangerous trip this time, so we have to get our plan done today!”

Holding her luggage, Fu Zhi replied, “You can’t even figure out what’s going on with Old Master Zheng, so I don’t see any reason to continue the plan. After all, it will only end up as a failure.”

“You—” Jiang Jinshu clenched his fist tight and took a deep breath. He did not want to argue with her anymore, so he pressed down his rage and turned to Li Nanli, “Our flight is taking off at 1:00 pm. We don’t have much time left, so we have to finish our plan before that!”

Fu Zhi pressed her lips tight and looked straight at Li Nanli. “I want to go to the airport.”

She had to tell Li Nanli about Old Master Zheng’s condition in the car.

“Okay,” Li Nanli said as he rose to his feet, “Let’s postpone our meeting. We will talk about the plan after we arrive in Myanmar.”

Jiang Jinshu could not believe what he had just heard. Ever since Li Nanli came across Fu Zhi, he had been getting increasingly disinterested in his work.

Li Nanli picked up Fu Zhi’s luggage and both of them headed outside. After they had disappeared from their vision, Jiang Jinshu kicked a chair and hissed, “What the hell does she think she’s doing? Too many people in the room? It’s because we’ve exposed her lies that she wants to leave! But how can she take Nanli away? Does she have any idea how dangerous this trip would be?”

Chen Jun then chimed in, “I’m pretty sure Ms. Fu knows what she’s doing. Besides, it’s President Li’s decision to postpone the meeting, so how can you blame Ms. Fu only?”

Jiang Jinshu turned to look at Chen Jun and sneered coldly, “I’ve been working together with Nanli for so many years, and this is the first time I see a woman can affect him so much. He is fully aware of the risk of this trip, yet he still decides to postpone the meeting. Just to take her to the airport! If anything happens to any of us here during this trip, it will be her fault!”

“That’s right. Honestly, it’s kind of annoying that she keeps pushing the weight around even though she doesn’t know about anything.”

“Will she be able to shoulder the consequences if we cannot acquire the mine?”

“This is pretty normal for a girl from a small city. She’s worried that President Li might break up with her, so she has to do something to get his attraction. Although both of them are women, our Captain Tang Ying is much better than her.”

“Don’t compare her to Captain Tang Ying!”

“Who doesn’t know Old Master Zheng cherishes his life the most? He will never make fun of something like this.”

“Oh yeah, will Captain Tang Ying follow President Li to the Zheng Family’s banquet? Or is it another socialite? Or was it the one just now?”

Everyone fell silent.

A young man behind Gu Yanqi then chimed in, “What is she going to do there? It’s not like she can protect President Li. He’s going to talk business over there, so why should he let a woman like her go with him?”

Jiang Jinshu did not say anything, but the frown on his face signified that he was in a bad mood right now.

He had been working on this plan for a month, yet Fu Zhi said his plan was rubbish.

—

Inside the silver Maserati.

After they got into the car, Fu Zhi hastily pulled a video out from her phone. “I can point out the difference for you. His condition is totally different from the condition of a stroke patient. You…”

“I believe you,” Li Nanli interrupted before Fu Zhi could finish her sentence. After he helped her wear the seatbelt, he gave a bottle of marshmallows to her and said, “This is your prize.”

“Huh?” Fu Zhi raised her head and her face was clouded with confusion.

“A prize for my girlfriend since she finally knows how to take care of her boyfriend.”

He was very close to her right now, and the cologne he wore tickled Fu Zhi’s nostrils.

Fu Zhi felt the tips of her ears turn burning hot. Then, as if he knew what she was thinking, he went closer to her and nibbled on her ear and said, “You’re so nice, Zhizhi.”

Fu Zhi tried to pull herself away from Li Nanli but to no avail. Just when she did not know what she should do, her phone rang and it was only then Li Nanli let go of her.

Lu Yubai had sent a text message to her through WeChat.

It was an address and a few photos. Besides, he also told her that Lu Yu’an had gone to the airport.

Fu Zhi took a look at the address. It was a convenient shop in the airport.

[I will be arriving at the airport in another 20 minutes.]

[Okay. No rush.]

By the time they arrived at the airport, they saw the young man who was waiting for Fu Zhi in the convenience store.

The young man was sitting in a wheelchair and he was looking around.

Li Nanli lifted his brows and before he could say anything, the young man noticed them and his face flushed red. He grabbed the plastic bottle in his hand so tightly that his knuckle was turning white.

“Sis,” he called out to Fu Zhi. Fu Zhi had no idea why but he seemed very nervous to her as she noticed that the tips of his ears were red. She frowned a little and asked, “Are you not feeling well?”

After all, Lu Yu’an had been giving people the vibe that he was weak. He looked and behaved as delicate as those ladies in ancient time, and Fu Zhi even felt that he was so fragile that he needed someone to take care of him in order to live.

When Lu Yu’an saw that Fu Zhi was looking at him, his face turned even redder as he shook his head. “Nope! Nope! I’m fine!”

However, Fu Zhi did not believe in him. She went forward and picked up his wrist to feel his pulses. She noticed that his heart was pumping a little too fast, but other than that, he was perfectly healthy. She let out a sigh of relief and asked, “Yubai said you’re looking for me, so is there anything I can help you with?”

“I just finished an examination in my school. I listened to you. I stayed focused when the teachers were teaching and I got 1st place in the class,” Lu Yu’an said as he took his test result from his bag. A hint of malice crossed his eyes when he glanced at Li Nanli, but by the time he turned back to Fu Zhi, the malice was gone from his eyes and his eyes were radiating with delight, looking as innocent as a little rabbit. “So I want to let you have a look at my test result report, sis.”

This was the first time Fu Zhi saw such emotion in his eyes. It was like the sun in the wintertime or the moonlight that spilled through the clouds and the rain. His pupils were dark and it seemed as if they were able to absorb someone’s soul into them.

Fu Zhi took his test result report and looked at it seriously.

Li Nanli glanced across Lu Yu’an and scoffed lightly. He kept the smile on his face, but his smile did not reach his eyes.

“This one,” Fu Zhi said as she handed the test result report back to Lu Yu’an, “You’re a little bit weak on the language side, but I think you’ve done a great job. Don’t forget to do your homework. It is the student’s responsibility and duty to write homework, and it may help you to strengthen your knowledge of the subject as well.”

Upon hearing what she had said, Lu Yu’an nodded profusely. “Okay!” He said, looking like an innocent lamb, “I will listen to everything you said, sis.”

Fu Zhi’s attention had been on the brat in front of him since they arrived at the airport, and Li Nanli did not have a good feeling about it.

Just when the thought surfaced in his mind, he unconsciously tightened his grip on her wrist. Fu Zhi felt a jab of pain and she tried to pull her hand out of Li Nanli’s grip.

“I’m sorry about that, Zhizhi,” Li Nanli said and he let go of Fu Zh’s hand.

The young lady’s skin was fair, and it made the red welt around her wrist even more apparent.

Li Nanli set his jaw tight.

Fu Zhi shook her head and then she heard Lu Yu’an asking, “Sis, who is he?”

‘Who is he?’

Li Nanli looked towards Fu Zhi with a tricker of amusement in his eyes.

“Well… It’s a long story,” Fu Zhi replied.

“Since your little brother wants to know about it, you can just make the long story short.”

Fu Zhi became speechless.

While Fu Zhi was still considering if she should tell Lu Yu’an about her relationship with Li Nanli, Lu Yu’an gripped his test result report tightly and asked carefully, “Is he your friend, sis?”

“Yes, but…”

‘You have to add the word “boy” in front of the word “friend”,’ Fu Zhi thought. However, she did not continue with the conversation as she said, “I still have my junior high school notebook in my room, so you can pick it up at home afterward when you have time.”

“It’s okay,” Lu Yu’an said, “I’m in no rush, so I can wait until you’re back from Myanmar. Then I will go to your house and get it from you, sis.”

‘Of course he’s in no rush,’ Li Nanli thought inwardly. ‘Even I haven’t taken a step into Zhizhi’s room yet, so how are there any chances this little brat will let go of such a great opportunity.’

Li Nanli squinted his eyes and he grabbed Fu Zhi’s collar.

“Hmm? What’s wrong?”

Fu Zhi turned around and she realized that Li Nanli was staring at her. However, she could not see through Li Nanli’s intention.

Li Nanli did not think it was suitable for him to say he wanted to go into Fu Zhi’s room in front of Lu Yu’an as well. After a short while of contemplation, he asked, “I just want to ask you if you want candy or not.”

“Is it sweet?”

Li Nanli nodded. “Totally.”

“I just had marshmallows just now, so…” Fu Zhi turned her head back to Lu Yuan, “I want something sour now, so you can have the candy for yourself.”

Li Nanli did not know what he should say.

‘Is she really this dense?’

Fu Zhi continued to talk about Lu Yu’an studies.

Li Nanli pinched at the center of his eyebrows. When he raised his eyes, he saw that Lu Yu’an was looking at him with a triumphant grin playing around his lips.

Li Nanli felt this little brother of Fu Zhi was not cute at all. He stretched his hand to pull Fu Zhi’s arm and asked, “Come with me. I have something important to tell you right now.”

Fu Zhi was stunned. However, she remembered that she was the one who dragged Li Nanli away from his meeting, so she thought he was just returning the favor. She thought for a moment and said something to Lu Yu’an before leaving with Li Nanli.

At the corner of the lounge. Li Nanli pinned her on the wall, and his breathing was heavy.

Before Fu Zhi could ask anything, he continued their unfinished conversation and said, “I think I’m pretty sour right now. If you want to have something sour, why don’t you have me instead?”

Fu Zhi looked at him in disbelief.

In the next second, Li Nanli pressed forward and planted a swift kiss on her lips.

He was standing very close to her right now, and he could catch the milky scent in the air.

Looking at Fu Zhi’s ears that were turning red with every passing second, Li Nanli felt extremely satisfied. He licked his lips and drawled on his vowel, “Our Zhizhi is so sweet, just like a candy.”
