The Mysterious Heiress: Researcher In Disguise-Novel2

Chapter 557: Nicely Done

Nobody believed that Li Nanli could break through the layer of ice and landed a hit on an Onyx Pixies with a hairpin.

Even Zheng Qu felt that Li Nanli was signing his own death warrant. He let out a cold sneer and said, “Really? Are you sure about that, Uncle Li? What if you couldn’t do it? Don’t you think it will make you look bad?”

Li Nanli rubbed his chin against Fu Zhi’s hair and said half-heartedly, “Well, I doubt so.”

He did not finish his sentence and just ran his eyes up and down Zheng Qu’s body.

Zheng Qu became speechless. Although Li Nanli stopped midway through his sentence, Zheng Qu knew what he wanted to say based on the way he looked at him and he flew into a rage.

‘Do you think I want to take off all of my clothes? Do you think I have no shame at all? Was it not for your little girlfriend, do you think I would do this to myself?!’ Zheng Qu shouted inwardly.

He took a deep breath to calm himself down. Since he could not shout at Li Nanli, he turned around and yelled at the servant. “What are you still waiting for? Start the timer!”

“Oh! I’m sorry, Young Master Zheng!” The servant replied. She was so engrossed in the kissing between Li Nanli and Fu Zhi that she had forgotten about the match. Besides, after Zheng Qu laid himself bare, everyone, including her, could see that Li Nanli beat him in every aspect, so it went without saying that she would not pay any attention to Zheng Qu.

The servant chided Zheng Qu inwardly but she maintained the fake smile on her face.

There was only one Onyx Pixy left in the bloodied pool. Right now, it was slaloming amongst the dead bodies of its companions.

The servant looked worriedly at Li Nanli. Then, just when the last Onyx Pixy came near the bridge, she grabbed the timer in her hand and shouted, “Ready...

“Go!”

“You can do this, sweetheart!” Mela cheered beside Zheng Qu.

This was the last dart Zheng Qu had, and it was going straight to the last Onyx Pixy. Although he knew the probability of his dart getting knocked off by the hairpin was low, he did not dare to take any chance and put all of his strength into this shot.

As for the hairpin threw by Li Nanli, it seemed like he was not going to intercept Zheng Qu’s dart at all.

The dart and the hairpin were thrown at the same time, but Zheng Qu deliberately twisted his wrist and made the dart skewed slightly towards the right side.

“Is President Li avoiding Zheng Qu?”

“Even if he’s avoiding Zheng Qu. There’s no way he could break the ice with a hairpin.”

“The hairpin is very close to the dart, so... Hold on a second, am I seeing it wrongly or the dart is flying towards the hairpin?”

“Oh! Young Master Zheng is going to let President Li have a taste of his own medicine! Way to go, Young Master Zheng!”

Then, as soon as the man had finished speaking, the dart pierced through the layer of ice and plummeted into the water along with the hairpin.

The water had been dyed red in blood, so nobody could see clearly what was going on inside. However, judging from the trajectory of the dart and the hairpin before they fell into the bottom of the water, the dart would have snapped the hairpin and hit its target!

The ripples gradually subsided, and the servant took a step forward to check on the situation.

“How is it?”

“Did the hairpin break? Please tell me that the hairpin is broken.”

“So that means Young Master Zheng won this round? Is Fu Zhi going to...”

The man did not finish his sentence, but everyone knew what he was talking about.

“I apologize, but due to the interference of blood inside the water, I can’t see clearly what’s going on inside, so I hope you all can wait for a little longer. We’re going to carve the ice open, pump the blood out so that we can make specific observations.”

Everyone gathered around and focused on the ice where the servant was.

Very soon, the situation inside the water was getting clearer and clearer as a portion of the bloodied water was pumped out of the pond.

Everyone gasped and somebody shouted, “This... This is incredible!”

Zheng Qu lifted his head up confidently. He could not see clearly what was going on since there were a lot of people surrounding the pond, so he yelled anxiously, “I did it, Uncle Li!”

Then, he looked viciously at Fu Zhi and said, reveling in the surge of contentment after getting his revenge. “It’s her turn to take off her clothes!”

Li Nanli looked at him as if he was looking at an idiot.

Zheng Qu’s face sank as he hissed, “Are you not going to do it, Uncle Li?”

However, just as he finished speaking, the servant had successfully got the Onyx Pixy out of the water. Her voice was shaking as she stammered, “Young... Young Master Zheng...”

Zheng Qu threw her a glance, gesturing her to keep talking.

The servant gulped as she continued in a shaky voice, “Young Master Zheng, President Li is the one who hit the fish, and...”

She pointed at the Onyx Pixy inside the glass tank, and there was a hairpin sticking out of its eye.

At the same time, Zheng Qu’s dart was scooped out of the water as well, and everyone could see that the tip of the dart was dented towards the inside.

“This is impossible!” Zheng Qu shouted, “How is this even possible? How could his hairpin, which is made of a softer material, knock my dart off, which is made of a harder material? This is... This is impossible!”

“Can you please shut up?” Li Nanli snapped as he glared at Zheng Qu, “Why is it impossible? Young Master Zheng, it seems to me that not only is your hair short, but you also have a small brain. It’s not unusual for a card to pierce through a piece of wood, so it goes without saying that it’s possible for my hairpin to knock your dart away. In my opinion, you should focus more on the news to expand your knowledge instead of those dirty and unhealthy magazines so that you wouldn’t act like a fool and bring disgrace to your family the next time.”

Zheng Qu’s eyes went bloodshot as he glared fixedly at Li Nanli.

Everyone was praising Li Nanli. Even those young masters who stood on Zheng Qu’s side could not help themselves and clapped their hands.

“Marvelous.”

“That’s a nice shot, President Li!”

“Can you teach me how to do it?”

“Can I have a picture with you, President Li?”

Perhaps it was not that difficult to find the right angle for the hairpin to break through the layer of ice, but what impressed them the most was that Li Nanli could land a hit on the eye of the fish in such a low level of visibility.

In the past, Li Nanli did not care about these people and he would let Zheng Qu flaunt in front of him like a clown whenever he came here, but this time... Even Gu Yanqi could feel a sense of exaltation swelling inside of him at the moment the hairpin pierced through the ice. He pointed at Zheng Qu and shouted, “Do you surrender now?”

The expression of the man standing on the bridge remained unchanged. He swept a glance across the crowd and put a finger on his lips to quiet the crowd down.

He did not say anything, but everyone slowly quieted down. The light showered on him and grant a halo of light around his body.

Everyone held their breath.

In the next second, the man placed his right hand on his ear, bent over, and tilted his head.

Fu Zhi turned her body sideways and looked at the Onyx Pixy inside the glass tank before raising her head.

The man’s skin looked even fairer under the light, and the last button on his collar accentuated the shape of his Adam’s apple.

She had to admit that he was really one fine specimen of a man, and her heart skipped a beat at this moment. action

She raised herself up on tiptoe and went closer to Li Nanli.

“Two words,” she said, and Li Nanli nodded.

“Nicely done,” she continued.

Then, everyone saw that a smile spread across the so-called cold and indifferent President Li’s face as his eyes lit up with delight.

When he was smiling, even the sun and the moon had lost their color.

He grabbed Fu Zhi’s waist, lowered his head, and whispered into her ear, “It’s all yours.

“I belong to you, my little one.”

—

Some people were happy while some were sad.

Zheng Qu withdrew his gaze from the couple in front of him.

“Very well, Fu Zhi.”

Zheng Qu offered Fu Zhi a smile, but Fu Zhi could not see it as Li Nanli had once again pressed her head against his chest.

Then, Zheng Qi jumped off the bridge and began running around the swimming pool.

“Wow!”

Everyone shouted.

As Zheng Qu was running, he called Fu Zhi “daddy” three times in a loud voice.

Zheng Qu was different from Wu Zhiheng. He knew when to yield and when not to. He was manipulative, and he was a thrill-seeker. As long as he had a chance, he would seize it without any hesitation.

After he had finished running around the swimming pool, Mela hastily brought a towel to him, but he did not accept it. He pushed her away and walked up to Li Nanli. “Uncle Li, can you help me ask Aunt Fu Zhi that if she wants to take a picture of me so that she can send it to her friends? I don’t mind it at all.”

Li Nanli’s gaze turned cold.

Clutching at his shirt, Fu Zhi said in a cold voice, “Do you know that it’s illegal to take a nude picture of other people? Do you want me to call the police?”

Everyone fell silent.

Zheng Qu let out a snort, took the towel, and went back into the house. Mela hastily followed after him.

Another young master from the Zheng Family hurriedly stepped forward and said, “Don’t just stand there! Uncle Li, come and have a seat here. Oli, take Young Master Gu and the other to play cards. You can come as well, Ms. Fu.”

Fu Zhi did not want to play cards with them.

After all, they were too weak and it was not fun at all when she knew that she would definitely win.

However, Gu Yanqi was different. Although he was not good at card games, he couldn’t resist the urge when someone asked him to play, just like Madam Lu.

The amount of money that was gambled at the banquet like this was something that an ordinary person would not be able to accumulate in their lifetime, but it was nothing for young masters like them.

Besides, they all came here to enjoy themselves, so it would kill the fun if Gu Yanqi turned down their invitation.

Fu Zhi and Li Nanli were sitting together on a chair, and Li Nanli saw she was playing with her game.

Time whizzed by, and it was already 9:10 pm.

After Zheng Qu had changed into another new set of clothes, he came to the top floor with Mela.

Gu Yanqi was playing a dice game with a group of people.

Gu Yanqi was shaking the dice, and although he looked professional, Mela scoffed at him.

She looked around and she saw that Li Nanli and Fu Zhi were playing games on phone.

It seemed to her that they were not going to join Gu Yanqi, but it did not matter.

Mela looked towards Gu Yanqi.

After she thought for a short while, she coiled her arm around Zheng Qu’s and approached Gu Yanqi. “Looking good today, huh, Young Master Gu.”
