The Mysterious Heiress: Researcher In Disguise

Chapter 501: You Must Not Fall In Love At An Early Age, Sis

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Nobody knew this group of professors better than them. None of the professors in the group were pushovers. They would submit to no one, yet they were carrying Fu Zhi’s bag? Every time He Ming was on a field trip, his assistant helped him carry his bag, right? But now…

The first one to come around to her senses was the class monitor of Class 3. “I think… Class 3 is not going to take part in this. As for Professor He, we don’t want to attend his classes anymore. You guys can have it your way. Just don’t include us if you are planning something like this in the future!”

After the class monitor of Class 3 made her stance clear, the rest of the class monitors pulled out as well.

Xiang Yusheng and Xu Tongtong’s faces sank. “What do you guys mean by this? How can you guys pull out at the last minute?”

“That means you won’t include us if you guys want to take the road that leads to ruin. If you had not misled us, do you think we would have followed you two here? See for yourselves how Professor He treats Fu Zhi. Does it look like he’s not happy with her sleeping in his class?”

“He helped her carry her bag and he also fed her food! He took care of her like she’s his daughter. My father has never treated me like that before!”

At the same time, a post about Professor He helping Fu Zhi carry her bag appeared in the forum of No.1 High School.

[I saw it with my own eyes! Not only did Professor He help Fu Zhi carry her bag, but he also looked at her as if he’s her father!]

[And people still say that Professor He was forced to give extra classes to Class 21?]

[Why is it that when something good happens, it always happens to Fu Zhi?]

[Apparently, the way Professor He carried Fu Zhi’s bag is similar to how I carried my mother’s bag when I asked her for money.]

For a moment, many students flocked into the forum and commented on the post.

Then, someone added, [Did you guys know that Professor He draped his coat over Fu Zhi when Fu Zhi was sleeping in his class this morning? Besides, he nearly kicked Song Fang out of his class after he jabbed Fu Zhi’s waist with his elbow.]

[I wonder who Fu Zhi is to Professor He. Is she his illegitimate daughter?]

When the students from Hang Yuan saw the post, there were more than 1,000 comments below the post.

“Fu Zhi…” a student muttered. “Is she a witch? Did she put a spell on Professor He? Is that why he’s willing to carry her bag for her?”

“So, were He Ming and his team invited by Mr. Ouyang or Fu Zhi?” a girl asked, making the room go silent.

“Does it matter? There’s nothing we can do right now about the extra classes or Fu Zhi. Even if Fu Zhi isn’t the one who invited Professor He and his team, considering Professor He’s attitude, as long as he’s willing to help Fu Zhi, Fu Zhi will not fail her college entrance examination.”

“You still think you can defeat Fu Zhi in the college entrance examination? Shouldn’t you be thinking about what we should do right now? We’ve offended Fu Zhi. If Fu Zhi really is the one who invited Professor He, Professor He will not give us any extra classes even if Ouyang Ya talks to Ouyang Feng.”

“Speaking of Ouyang Ya, if it were not for her, would we have offended Fu Zhi?” A girl chimed in. “Had it not been for her, we would not have had one competition after another with Fu Zhi. If we’d just come to No.1 High School for a normal academic exchange and hadn’t caused so much trouble to them, I’m sure Fu Zhi would not have said no to us if we wanted to join Class 21 and attend the extra classes.”

The remaining students of Hang Yuan were disillusioned with Ouyang Ya.

While Ouyang Ya was calling Ouyang Feng, he was sorting out the notes on the firearm design for Fu Zhi.

He picked up the call, and Ouyang Ya’s voice wafted into his ear. “Master, I heard that you invited Professor He and his team to give extra classes to the students of No.1 High School. Well, I wonder if you can do me a favor and ask them to give some extra classes to Hang Yuan’s students as well?”

Ouyang Ya knew that the spirits of the students of Hang Yuan were getting lower and lower, so she wanted to make use of this opportunity to raise their morale.

“Who told you that I was the one who invited Professor He and his team?” Ouyang Feng asked, his brows furrowed deeply.

Ouyang Ya could not believe what she had just heard. “Huh? If you’re not the one who invited them, who is it?”

Although No.1 High School was an elite school in Yu City, it could only be comparable to second-rate schools in the capital.

The elite schools of the capital had invited them multiple times in the past, but never once had they said yes to them.

All of them had been willing to come to No.1 High School, yet Ouyang Feng said he was not the one who had invited them?

Ouyang Ya then remembered the post on No.1 High School’s forum.

‘Could He Min really be related to Fu Zhi?’ she thought.

In the meantime, the subject of the discussion, Fu Zhi, was calling Li Nanli after giving her written request for leave to the security guard. She asked Ye Jiu and Xu Wei to head to Myanmar first. Then, she went back to the hall and said something to Qian Man and Chen Xin before leaving.

Song Fang and Wang Yu walked her to the gate of the school.

Boarding time was 11:00 a.m, so Fu Zhi went back to the Lu Mansion to take her luggage.

Truth be told, she would not bring a lot of stuff with her, as she had a house on Mount Qiu Ling in Myanmar. The living environment there was good, there was a good supply of plenty of daily necessities, and maids would go to clean the villa from time to time.

There were a lot of things Fu Zhi could not tell Xu Wei and Lu Jingqing. For example, she could not tell them about her property and her wealth. If she really told Xu Wei everything about her, she was certain Xu Wei would not stop asking her things until she learned everything about her. Besides, there was a good chance Xu Wei might feel inferior and sad. Then, Ji Qingqing might start to lose even more hair.

Thus, Fu Zhi put two more pieces of clothing and two bank cards into her luggage. After she finished preparing everything, she called Shen Cizhou before leaving the Li Mansion.

“I don’t care who you are. Stop calling me. I’m busy killing someone.” Shen Cizhou’s grumpy voice belted out of the speaker and filled every inch of the living hall.

“…”

Smack!

Fu Zhi turned her head around and saw Lu Yushen standing behind her. The cup in his hand had fallen to the carpet on the floor.

They looked at each other, but neither of them spoke.

Then, Lu Yushen cocked his head and asked, “Sis?”

He pointed at the phone in Fu Zhi’s hand. “What is he talking about?”

“Huh? Oh, you mean this? No worries,” Fu Zhi replied matter-of-factly. “I called the wrong person.”

“Alright, I’m done. Let me clean my hand first. In the meantime, you can tell me what you want from me. By the way, I found out who the guy that followed you last time was. He’s one of Ouyang Ya’s underlings who’s been paid to keep tabs on you. Anyway, let me tell you something, Fu Zhi. Don’t forget to pay me after you ask me to do something for you. No matter how close we are, our relationship is doomed to fail if you keep failing to uphold your end of the bargain. According to Karl Marx, the famous philosopher, those who refuse to pay their debt will be struck by lightning…”

Fu Zhi was speechless.

Shen Cizhou’s highly spirited voice spread across the living room through the loudspeaker. Fu Zhi knew it was too late to hang up the call right now, so she lowered her head and turned down the volume.

Lu Yushen frowned.

Fu Zhi did not want her brother to misunderstand anything. After all, she was not the one who had paid Shen Cizhou to kill someone.

“Actually…”

“Don’t disclose your personal information to anyone, sis,” Lu Yushen said as he picked the cup up from the floor. The light in the living room was bright, and his long eyelashes cast a shadow over his face when he lifted his head slightly. “Also, you shouldn’t pick up fraudulent calls like this in the future.”

‘Fraudulent calls? He’s kind of protective of her, huh.’

Shen Cizhou fell silent for a moment. As if he was amused by Lu Yushen’s statement, he licked his lips and continued. “I’m not sure if you’re aware of this or not, but I’m not the fraudster here. She is. Besides, I’ve known her longer than you have, so you’re going to mind your own business and give the phone back to your sister so that I can settle this matter with her.”

“I see,” Lu Yushen replied. He took a look at Fu Zhi. Fu Zhi did not know why, but his face suddenly turned red and he said, “She… She’s sleeping in my bed now.”

Shen Cizhou was stunned.

‘What the hell?’

Seizing this chance while Shen Cizhou was dumbfounded by his words, Lu Yushen hung up the call.

Fu Zhi turned her body sideways and looked at him.

He was playing with his fingers nervously, and his cheeks had turned even redder.

“He’s a bad guy. Zhizhi, you must not hang out with him.”

Fu Zhi had no idea why, but he reminded her of the Mastiff that she owned in the research institute.

“Zhizhi, you can call me next time,” Lu Yushen said, keeping his head low. The veins in his neck were visible, and the tips of his ears were burning red. “I… I have a lot of money. I can give it all to you. I don’t want any money from you, so… Zhizhi, can you please not get angry at me?”

“Okay,” Fu Zhi replied.

‘Okay?’

Lu Yushen looked at Fu Zhi with his red-rimmed eyes and added, “Then… Then…”

“Then?” Fu Zhi interrupted as she took a look at her watch.

“Promise me that you won’t fall in love at an early age.”

Fu Zhi was stunned.

He took a step forward, leaned toward her, and spoke into her ear in a serious manner. “I really have a lot of money and I can give it all to you. Outsiders like you only because you’re pretty. They know you like money, so they use money to seduce you. You must not fall into their traps, Zhizhi.”

‘For example, look at that guy named Li Nanli who claimed he’s a psychologist.’

Lu Yushen did not have a good impression of him and did not like him at all.

Fu Zhi did not know what to say.

*

Mama Zhang had just boiled a pot of red eggs and gave two of the eggs to Fu Zhi before she left the Li Mansion.

Then, she turned around to look at Lu Yushen, who was pouring a cup of water, and said with a grin on her lips, “Do you not want Ms. Zhizhi to fall in love?”

“Nope,” Lu Yushen said, his eyes veiled behind a layer of water.

He just did not want his sister to fall in love at such an early age.

After all, his sister had to get into college. Then, he would need to take care of her for about 10 years. If his sister wanted, she could go out and work for a few years. After roughly 10 years or so… Well, he was not an insensitive person, so he reckoned that he might not interfere too much in his sister’s relationships.

When Fu Zhi arrived at the Li Mansion, Li Nanli was having a meeting with a few men in the conference room.

There were ten or so young men standing beside Jiang Jinshu and Gu Yanqi, and all of them had stern expressions on their faces.

When Jiang Jinshu saw Fu Zhi, he raised his brows and his face sank. He looked rather displeased, but Chen Jun, who was standing behind him, waved at Fu Zhi and grinned so widely that his pearly wide teeth nearly blinded Fu Zhi.

As for the other people in the conference room, although they were curious to know why a girl like Fu Zhi would show up there, they did not say anything. They wondered if Fu Zhi was Li Nanli’s girlfriend, the one Jiang Jinshu had told them about. They all thought she was adorable, but she was too young.

“Zhizhi.”

Fu Zhi moved her luggage to the corner of the couch.

Grinning, Li Nanli pulled a handheld game console from his drawer and handed it to Fu Zhi. “I still have another meeting to conduct, so go ahead and have fun with this gaming console. I will take you to the airport later.”

His voice and gaze were gentle while he was talking to Fu Zhi.

Jiang Jinshu did not feel comfortable with it. He would not say anything normally, but they were discussing something very confidential right now. He glanced at Fu Zhi again and grew even more irritated when he realized that Fu Zhi was not planning to leave the room.

Gu Yanqi had been watching him from the moment Fu Zhi had entered the room, so he saw all the changes on his face. Not wanting anything to happen, he tugged at Jiang Jinshu’s hand and shook his head slightly.

Jiang Jinshu knew that Gu Yanqi was asking him to stay calm and not challenge Li Nanli during an important meeting such as this one. He took a deep breath and flipped open the document. “The Zheng Family’s businesses—how should I put it?—are not as clean as they appear to be. Old Master Zheng is critically ill and has been looking for Z God through the hacker alliance. The Zheng Family doesn’t have a leader right now, so if we go and acquire…”

Before Jiang Jinshu could finish his report, a loud boom erupted in the room.

On the couch not far away, a mechanical voice that shouted “Pentakill!” rang out.

The veins on Jiang Jinshu’s forehead bulged as he growled, “Ms. Fu! We’re working on something very important right now, so please stop interrupting us!”
