《The Boss Is So Fierce》 Chapter 1 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations April, Rong City. After half a month of drizzle, the weather finally cleared up and the air was moist and warm. Carefully arranged green plants surrounded the balcony of the hotel¡¯s high-class private room. There was a long table in the middle with a man and a woman sitting on two chairs. Tang Zhi leaned against the back of the chair lazily and occasionally took a sip of the fruit wine in front of him. Hmm, it was orange-flavored and very sweet. ¡°The person I love isn¡¯t you. It¡¯s Xuanyi. The person I want to marry can only be her. Call off the engagement. What conditions do you have? Just tell me.¡± The man opposite her was dressed in a white crisp tailored suit. At this moment, he sat up straight. His handsome face revealed a hint of condescending impatience. This was the fiance her late grandfather had chosen for her? Zhou Yuhao, the only son of the Zhou Family? Yes, he looked quite handsome, but he wasn¡¯t quite smart. The Tang and Zhou families were long-time friends. The two elders had a good relationship back then, which was why they had this verbal marriage agreement. Now that the two elders had passed away, there were naturally people who were unwilling to be bound by this verbal marriage agreement. Tang Zhi casually put down her wine glass. ¡°Why didn¡¯t she come and tell me herself?¡± This woman was her cousin, the Tang Family¡¯s second daughter, Tang Xuanyi. It was a cheesy and melodramatic thing to have her fianc¨¦ snatched away by her cousin. But it was the case. ¡°Xuanyi is kind-hearted. She¡¯s afraid of hurting your feelings, so she can¡¯t bear to tell you herself.¡± ¡°Kind?¡± Tang Zhi smirked. ¡°Are you sure?¡± She had already snatched her cousin¡¯s fiance. How could she be kind? Wasn¡¯t it because she felt guilty? After all, this was not something to boast about. Perhaps because he was infuriated by the ridicule in her eyes, the impatience on Zhou Yuhao¡¯s face became even more obvious. ¡°I know very well what kind of person Xuanyi is. You don¡¯t have to slander her in front of me. Furthermore, she¡¯s your elder sister! No matter what, I don¡¯t love you. What¡¯s the point of pestering her? This marriage was originally just a joke between the two elders. You should know that very well.¡± ¡°How about this? I¡¯ll give you five million yuan as compensation. I heard that Mr. Tang is devoted to teaching and never interferes with the Tang family¡¯s business, so this five million yuan is quite a large sum for you.¡± Tang Zhi¡¯s father was the second oldest in the Tang Family and was a professor at Rong University¡¯s Archaeology Department. Above him was his older brother, Tang Shizong, who was also Tang Xuanyi¡¯s father. Tang Shizong was currently managing the Tang Family¡¯s business. Compared to that, Tang Shixun, who was a university professor, might sound prestigious, but it was actually just a position that didn¡¯t generate much income. Besides, he was a professor in the archeology department, which was famous for being lacking in funds. Tang Zhi glanced at the bank card he handed over and pursed her lips. ¡°Okay, then cancel it.¡± Zhou Yuhao was delighted when he heard this, but then he felt disdain. As expected, she wanted money. ¡°I¡¯ll give you this five million yuan, but on one condition. You must talk to Grandma Tang about it. You must tell her that you and I don¡¯t have any feelings for each other, and you¡¯re the one who wants to end the engagement. It has nothing to do with Xuanyi.¡± Finally, he added, ¡°Since we¡¯re going to end the engagement, it won¡¯t affect you much.¡± A trace of mockery flashed past Tang Zhi¡¯s eyes. How could it not affect her? She canceled the marriage arranged by her grandfather. No matter how much her grandmother doted on her, she would be disappointed. Tang Xuanyi had calculated things to her advantage. She could not be bothered to waste her breath on this stupid ex-fianc¨¦. Her gaze turned slightly cold. ¡°When did I say that I wanted to take your money? As for Grandma, let her do as she pleases. If Grandma is provoked by something she shouldn¡¯t, I won¡¯t be polite.¡± Zhou Yuhao was stunned. After Tang Zhi left, he regained his senses and was in disbelief. His expression changed. But, as he thought about the fact that the person he truly loved was Tang Xuanyi, he felt a sense of relief. At the same time, he also felt a slight sense of disdain. Even at this moment, she was acting all high and mighty.. Chapter 2 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Tang Zhi came out of the high-class private room and walked through the hall to the back courtyard. It was a classical Chinese style courtyard. There were rockery, mini-fountains, and wooden porch bridges and pavilions. This area was specially used to provide private reception. It was more private and quiet than the private rooms in front, so not many people came and went. Yunlan Hotel was a high-end chain of hotels. It was famous all over the world and it was very famous. Therefore, many people liked to come here to entertain guests to show off their status. For this reason, Yunlan had specially divided the reception area into different levels. ¡°Hello, ma¡¯am. May I help you?¡± The waiter at the door stepped forward in time with a warm smile on his face. Tang Zhi thought about it and asked, ¡°How do I get to the Landscape Hall?¡± Upon hearing the name Landscape Hall, the waiter became even more respectful. ¡°Please follow me.¡± Tang Zhi followed the service staff through the courtyard unhurriedly and entered the more private room. It still had a simple and unadorned decor. In the middle, fake rocks were piled up to create a water view. There were various colored ornamental fish swimming inside. Nearby, there was a Chinese mahogany screen with lifelike carvings of birds and fish. Tang Zhi saw Secretary Zhang, who was already waiting there, and walked over quickly. ¡°Where¡¯s my brother?¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Miss. Vice-Director Tang has some urgent matters to attend to, so he asked you to wait here for him.¡± She nodded lazily. ¡°Okay, got it.¡± Then, she walked to the sofa in the corner and started playing with her phone. The sofa was very big and as soon as she sat down, she was immediately blocked from view. From behind, one could not see that there was another person sitting there. At least, Zhou Yuhao and Tang Xuanyi did not see her when they arrived. The two of them stood in front of another private dining room and whispered to each other. ¡°Yuhao, is your cousin really coming here tonight?¡± Tang Xuanyi looked around cautiously. ¡°Yep, don¡¯t worry. My mother has already told me.¡± Zhou Yuhao held onto Tang Xuanyi¡¯s hand to comfort her. Actually, he was also a little afraid of this cousin of his. He was the CEO of Rong City¡¯s Huanyu Corporation. He was ruthless, cold, and heartless. No one dared to cross him. What was even more frightening was that he was from the He Family. Most people would be cautious when they heard about the aristocratic families in the capital. As for the He family, those who knew of their reputation would feel even more fearful. ¡°That¡¯s right. My auntie is also from the He family. No matter what, my cousin has to show Auntie respect.¡± At this thought, Tang Xuanyi let out a sigh of relief, ¡°Then, about us¡­¡± Zhou Yuhao comforted her, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll tell my cousin when I see him later.¡± After saying that, she went up to knock on the door. Soon, a man in a suit opened the door from inside. In the corner where Tang Zhi was, she glanced at the half-open door from the corner of her eyes and froze. She walked past the door and saw an aloof and chiseled face. The man crossed his legs and leaned back slightly on the sofa. She could feel his imposing presence even through the door. He held a document in his hand and seemed to be giving instructions to his assistant. Tang Zhi pulled her collar and put away her phone. She then looked down and continued sizing him up. Tsk, even just his silhouette was pleasing. The man seemed to sense something and turned his head to look at her. But, in the next moment, Zhou Yuhao pulled Tang Xuanyi into the room and closed the door behind them. Tang Zhi pursed her lips and retracted her gaze. She played another round of games to pass time before Tang Qian came out. Tang Qian had a superb figure. The dark-colored suit on his body made him look elegant and graceful. He had been in politics for many years and since the political world was complicated, he was used to hiding his emotions, but after seeing Tang Zhi, his expression softened.. Chapter 3 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°Bro.¡± Tang Zhi raised the corners of her mouth and smiled. Although they were half-siblings, they had a good relationship since childhood. Tang Qian patted her head and said gently, ¡°I was going to ask Secretary Zhang to send it to you. Why are you here?¡± He had a social gathering tonight and only found out that she was at Yunlan Hotel after receiving Tang Zhi¡¯s message. ¡°Yes, I happen to have something to attend to.¡± Just as she finished speaking, she heard the door close and open. Tang Xuanyi and Zhou Yuhao walked out with awkward expressions. They were out so soon? Tang Xuanyi looked at Tang Qian in surprise. ¡°Brother?¡± When she saw Tang Zhi, who was beside Tang Qian, she froze. Tang Qian frowned slightly and said, ¡°Xuanyi, why are you with the Zhou family¡¯s young master?¡± Tang Zhi and Zhou Yuhao¡¯s engagement was no secret to the Tang Family. He shouldn¡¯t have gotten that intimate with Tang Xuanyi. Tang Xuanyi panicked. ¡°I¡­¡± ¡°This has nothing to do with Xuanyi. I asked her to come along.¡± Zhou Yuhao stood in front of Tang Xuanyi protectively as he responded. Tang Qian¡¯s expression darkened when he saw his actions. ¡°Young Master Zhou, I remember that the one who is engaged to you is Xiao Zhi.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve already proposed to break off the engagement with Tang Zhi and she agreed. If you don¡¯t believe me, you can ask her.¡± Zhou Yuhao was a little afraid of Tang Qian¡¯s cold aura and chose to place the blame on Tang Zhi. Tang Qian frowned and turned to look at Tang Zhi. ¡°Is what he said true?¡± Tang Zhi looked at Zhou Yuhao, who was protecting Tang Xuanyi like a hen protecting its food. Her lips twitched. Tang Zhi said nonchalantly, ¡°It¡¯s true.¡± ¡°When did this happen? Why didn¡¯t you tell our family?¡± Tang Qian said disapprovingly. She tilted her head and thought for a while. ¡°About half an hour ago?¡± Tang Qian¡¯s gaze turned cold as he looked sharply at Zhou Yuhao and Zhou Yuhao. Half an hour ago? So Xiao Zhi came to Yunlan today because Zhou Yuhao wanted to end the engagement? Having been in the political field for so many years, Tang Qian had an imposing presence. Furthermore, he was already showing signs of anger, which made him even more intimidating. He looked at Zhou Yuhao and said with a sullen expression, ¡°Is this also the Zhou Family¡¯s intention?¡± Zhou Yuhao felt a little guilty. ¡°My mom has already agreed.¡± He Jinhong had always been dissatisfied with the marital agreement between the Zhou and Tang families. After Tang Shixun gave up on entering the Tang family business and chose to become an archeology professor at Rong University, he was even more dissatisfied. But for some reason, his father refused to break off the engagement. He even said that if he broke off the engagement, he wouldn¡¯t acknowledge him as his son. Helpless, He Jinhong went to look for He Chen in hopes of using his influence in Rong City to pressure the Tang family to cancel the engagement. Zhou Yuhao came here because of the mysterious and ruthless Fourth Master He, the CEO of Huanyu Corporation, He Chen. He was here tonight. However, he could not figure out his cousin¡¯s attitude just now. He neither agreed nor rejected it. He remained indifferent throughout. The cold aura around him made people dare not to approach him. Tang Qian glanced at him. ¡°Since it¡¯s Mrs. Zhou¡¯s idea, let the Zhou family come to the Tang family personally and explain this to Grandmother. This is the proper etiquette. What does Young Master Zhou think?¡± ¡°I¡­¡± If he did that, he would not be able to hide it from his father. Tang Qian ignored him. He looked at Tang Zhi and said, ¡°The things I brought for you are in the car. Go and get them first.¡± Tang Zhi nodded and said obediently, ¡°Okay..¡± Chapter 4 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations The siblings left, leaving behind Zhou Yuhao and the teary-eyed Tang Xuanyi. Tang Xuanyi¡¯s eyes turned red as she replied, ¡°My brother has always doted on Xiao Zhi. He must be blaming me for stealing you from Xiao Zhi. It¡¯s all my fault.¡± Zhou Yuhao¡¯s heart ached. ¡°It¡¯s not your fault, Xuanyi. I don¡¯t love her. The person I love is you.¡± Tang Xuanyi sniffled and said sadly, ¡°Yuhao, why don¡¯t we break up? I can¡¯t do this to Xiao Zhi. She¡¯s my sister.¡± ¡°No!¡± Zhou Yuhao¡¯s expression immediately changed. He forcefully hugged her and said through clenched teeth, ¡°No one can stop us from being together!¡± ¡°But Uncle Zhou¡­¡± Zhou Yuhao said ruthlessly, ¡°As long as my cousin is willing to help, my dad can¡¯t do anything.¡± ¡­ In the underground parking lot of Yunlan Hotel. Secretary Zhang went to drive the car over while the siblings stood aside and talked. Tang Qian¡¯s heart ached. ¡°You already knew?¡± He could tell that Tang Zhi was very calm from beginning to end. Tang Zhi shrugged and said nonchalantly, ¡°My eyesight isn¡¯t bad.¡± The two never shied away from showing their affection for each other, and Tang Xuanyi often gave her hints. She just didn¡¯t care. ¡°You.¡± Tang Qian felt helpless and said affectionately, ¡°However, Zhou Yuhao is indeed unworthy of you. It¡¯s good that the marriage is called off.¡± Tang Zhi narrowed her eyes and curled her lips into a smirk. She looked like a cat that was content after being coaxed. Pretending to be reserved, she reminded, ¡°Brother, she¡¯s also your younger sister.¡± Tang Qian looked at her in amusement and said, ¡°It¡¯s different.¡± She smirked even more. It was double standards, but she liked it. Tang Qian¡¯s eyes dimmed. ¡°Besides, Xuanyi went overboard.¡± Yes! Tang Zhi nodded quickly. Even though she felt that Zhou Yuhao was a fool, and it was even more impossible for him to fulfill that marriage agreement, she still felt a bit upset after being played around. Tang Qian reached out to caress her hair and said gently, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll help you.¡± How could his sister be bullied by others? As he spoke, Secretary Zhang drove the car over. A low-profile black Passat suited Tang Qian¡¯s levelheaded personality. Tang Qian flicked his sleeves. ¡°Let¡¯s go home first. We¡¯ll talk about breaking off the engagement when Dad and Mom come back.¡± Last month, an ancient site was discovered in Su City. Tang Shixun and his wife were both professors in the Department of Archaeology at Rong University and were sent by the school to investigate. They would be back after two days. Tang Zhi nodded and obediently followed Tang Qian into the car. The black Passat drove into traffic and disappeared into the night. ¡­ The next morning, Tang Zhi was woken up by a series of calls. As soon as she picked it up, she heard Qin Jiayin bombarding her. ¡°Tang Zhi! Good lord! Where¡¯s the 2v5 we agreed on? The Royal Entertainment City is waiting for you. Come over quickly! If you don¡¯t come over soon, I¡¯ll be humiliated!¡± After hanging up, Tang Zhi took a deep breath and got up to wash up. She casually put on a baggy white sweatshirt, and her jeans made her legs look straight and long. She picked up his car keys and left. Twenty minutes later, they arrived at the entrance of the Royal Entertainment City. The Royal Entertainment City was huge and had all sorts of recreational entertainment facilities. The service was top-notch and it was the largest entertainment venue in Rong City. It was said that the biggest shareholder of this entertainment city was Huanyu Corporation. Tang Zhi walked straight to the floor where the gaming room was located and casually called the private room Qin Jiayin mentioned. The waiter then led her to the door. After she knocked twice, the door was opened from the inside.. Chapter 5 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°Your highness, you¡¯re finally here!¡± Qin Jiayin pounced over and hugged Tang Zhi. She was happier than if she had seen her own father. Tang Zhi placed a finger on her forehead and slowly pushed her away. ¡°Meh, you¡¯re no fun. What a bore.¡± Qin Jiayin looked at Tang Zhi¡¯s beautiful face and felt extremely resentful. She really wanted to bite her. Tang Zhi glanced at her. ¡°You don¡¯t want to play games anymore?¡± ¡°I want to! You¡¯re good-looking, so you¡¯re the queen. You have the final say.¡± Tang Zhi strode in and sure enough, it was a gaming room. On the left wall was a huge electronic screen with ten tablet computers below it. Five of the computers were occupied. There were a few spectators on the sofa behind them. They were all Qin Jiayin¡¯s friends. Tang Zhi had seen a few of them before and had some impression of them. She nodded slightly as a form of greeting. Tang Zhi walked to the five computers on the other side and randomly chose one to sit down. She looked up and asked, ¡°Shall we begin?¡± ¡°Let¡¯s begin!¡± Qin Jiayin eagerly ran to Tang Zhi¡¯s side and sat down. She also turned on a computer. This was a new combat game released by Huanyu Corporation, and it was still in the beta stage. It was only available in the gaming room of the Royal Entertainment City. On the huge screen wall, a game projection immediately appeared. The image and character settings were very exquisite and the movements were very smooth. The game created a 3D simulation. All the data were replicated according to real human bodies, including the vital parts of the human body and the strength of the attack. It was very realistic. Tang Zhi adapted and quickly got into the zone. Her slender fingers were very nimble, and her expression became serious and focused. It was completely different from her usual leisurely and nonchalant demeanor. Two minutes later, the other party¡¯s game character was lying on the ground and turned into a ¡®corpse¡¯. ¡°F*ck, wiped out!¡± Qin Jiayin, who came from a good family, could not help but swear. ¡°Satisfied?¡± After ending the game, Tang Zhi resumed her leisurely demeanor. ¡°I¡¯m satisfied! I¡¯m so satisfied! Xiao Zhi, from now on, you¡¯re my goddess!¡± As the victor, Qin Jiayin cockily showed off towards the five defeated opponents. ¡°Tsk, I already said that even the few of you added together won¡¯t be enough to be a match for me. How about it? Luo Siyu, the person you found is only so-so. Isn¡¯t it time to fulfill your promise?¡± Tang Zhi looked up and realized that one of the five people opposite her was a woman. Because men and women had different habits, players would usually choose gaming characters of the same gender to improve their compatibility. What gender did Luo Siyu choose? She was gaming too fast just now and did not notice it. It was the same anyway. But from the looks of it, Luo Siyu did not seem to be on good terms with Qin Jiayin. Luo Siyu¡¯s expression did not look too good. The boy beside her stepped forward and said, ¡°Jiayin, we¡¯re all friends here. Don¡¯t be so aggressive and make everyone look bad.¡± Qin Jiayin¡¯s expression instantly turned cold and her beautiful eyes were filled with anger. ¡°Zhao Xu, you¡¯re bent on going against me today and helping her, aren¡¯t you?¡± The two of them instantly became at odds with each other. ¡°Alright, we¡¯re all friends. Zhao Xu doesn¡¯t want to destroy our friendship. I think we can forget about this. It¡¯s not a big deal anyway.¡± ¡°Who¡¯s her friend?¡± Qin Jiayin pointed at Luo Siyu and said disdainfully, ¡°If it wasn¡¯t for Zhao Xu, would any of you know her?¡± They were all in the same circle, so they were naturally more familiar with Qin Jiayin. However, Zhao Xu was the young master of the Zhao Family, one of the four most prominent families in Rong City. Naturally, everyone kissed up to him. This time, Zhao Xu had made it clear that he wanted to protect Luo Siyu, so someone came out to mediate. He did not expect Qin Jiayin to be so stubborn. The atmosphere became awkward for a moment.. Chapter 6 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Luo Siyu tugged at Zhao Xu and whispered, ¡°Zhao Xu, why don¡¯t I apologize to Miss Qin? I can¡¯t affect your friendship with them.¡± ¡°I can¡¯t let you suffer.¡± Zhao Xu was also a little angry. He gritted his teeth and said, ¡°Qin Jiayin, this competition isn¡¯t over yet!¡± ¡°You¡¯ve already lost 2v5, so what else do you want? Another round?¡± Zhao Xu¡¯s expression darkened as he took out his phone. ¡°Wait here. I¡¯m going out to make a call.¡± ¡°Looking for reinforcements?¡± Qin Jiayin glanced at him and said disdainfully, ¡°Go, don¡¯t say that I didn¡¯t give you a chance.¡± After Qin Jiayin watched that scene, Qin Jiayin¡¯s confidence in Tang Zhi¡¯s abilities skyrocketed. Tang Zhi glanced at her but didn¡¯t say anything. ¡­ At the same time. On the top floor of the Royal Entertainment City and in the largest VIP room. A man in a black shirt was leaning against the sofa. One of the buttons on his chest was unbuttoned and there was a fierce look on his face. His cold eyes dimmed and he glanced at the huge electronic screen in front of him occasionally with an indifferent gaze. Beside him was a handsome young man. He was playing a game with Huanyu Corporation¡¯s latest tablet model. ¡°F*ck, Brother Chen, your new game is too amazing. I feel like I¡¯m not playing games but participating in a real-life arena.¡± ¡°Young Master Fang, although this game is realistic, it is still different from a real-life arena.¡± Fang Yanjun felt choked. ¡°Yunhai, do you think just anyone can compare to your four pavilions?¡± Of the four pavilions under He Chen, who hadn¡¯t fought with their lives on the line? ¡°It wasn¡¯t easy for me to leave the capital and come looking for you guys, but this lousy game is going against me. Screw my luck!¡± Fang Yanjun kicked the table and said indignantly. Yun Hai touched his nose sheepishly. ¡°Why don¡¯t I get two people from the Royal Entertainment City to accompany you?¡± ¡°Go, go, go, find two people who are more capable.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll make sure Young Master Fang has a good time.¡± Yun Hai thought to himself, ¡°I¡¯ve finally settled this young master.¡± He slipped away quickly. Not long after, someone came in. He introduced, ¡°Young Master Fang, this is Zhao Bo, the person-in-charge of the entertainment city¡¯s boxing club. He has participated in boxing competitions before and is very familiar with games. When the corporation developed this real-life combat game, they asked him to make quite a few models.¡± Fang Yanjun¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°You¡¯re it.¡± Zhao Bo was a little nervous when he was suddenly called in and he recognized Yun Hai¡¯s identity. When he saw Master He sitting beside him, he instantly tensed up and didn¡¯t dare to say anything. This was his superior¡¯s superior, a ruthless man. It was said that he had a powerful background and had a deep relationship with the capital. Anyone influential in Rong City had heard of Fourth Master He¡¯s name, but no one knew more about him. He was just like a legend that was spread among the prominent families of Rong City. No one dared to cross him. Unexpectedly, he actually met Huanyu Corporation¡¯s CEO today. Even Vice President Yun had to address him as Young Master Fang when he sat with Young Master He, so he didn¡¯t dare to neglect him. He picked up her tablet and was about to play a round with Fang Yanjun when his phone vibrated. Zhao Bo looked at the caller ID and wanted to curse. He hung up quickly, but didn¡¯t expect to be called again. Fang Yanjun glanced at him impatiently. ¡°Quickly finish the call and start the game.¡± Zhao Bo sheepishly walked to the side and pressed the answer button. He thought to himself that if there was nothing important, he would definitely give that kid a beating when he got back. ¡°Fourth uncle, do me a favor¡­¡± Outside the door, Zhao Xu finished talking briefly. However, he heard a young voice coming from the other end of the phone. ¡°You can¡¯t win? Let me see who¡¯s so capable.¡± Zhao Xu was stunned.. Who was this? Chapter 7 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Zhao Xu, still thinking about this question, returned to his room. No matter what, Fourth Uncle¡­ agreed, right? ¡°Zhao Xu, are you sure you can do it or not? If you can¡¯t, then let Luo Siyu apologize to me. I will definitely record it as a video and post it on the school forum for three days!¡± The moment he entered, he heard Qin Jiayin¡¯s arrogant words. ¡°Qin Jiayin, how exactly did Siyu provoke you for you to be so aggressive?¡± ¡°Oh, so she hasn¡¯t told you?¡± Qin Jiayin looked at Zhao Xu like he was a fool and clicked her tongue in wonder. ¡°I didn¡¯t realize you were so stupid before.¡± Indeed, men in love had an IQ of 0, especially in front of a two-faced bitch like Luo Siyu. ¡°Qin, Jia, Yin!¡± Zhao Xu¡¯s expression turned ashen with anger. ¡°Cut the crap, are we playing the game or not?¡± ¡°Just you wait!¡± Zhao Xu walked to his computer and logged into his account again. Suddenly, a friend request popped up on the page. He was delighted and quickly clicked on it. Tang Zhi glanced at the PK invitation on the screen and accepted it. This time, it was 2v3. She also had Qin Jiayin, her lackey. Zhao Xu seemed to have found two helpers. One of them had a boxer-like gaming style. Tang Zhi took a look and had a rough idea. She stopped caring and focused on herself. Her operation was still very fast. The 3D character on the huge screen started moving as she moved. She jumped forward, struck with her elbow, bent down, and swept her leg across. She was fast and ruthless. Her series of actions were very smooth. Three minutes later, all the game characters on the other side were turned into corpses again. ¡­ In a large private room on the top floor of the Royal Entertainment City. Fang Yanjun immediately cursed, ¡°F*ck, who is this person?¡± The other party had only used a single kick to knock him down. The key was that she had kicked him in the face, so when he died, his face was on the ground. Zhao Bo was trembling with fear as he cursed Zhao Xu inside. He looked at Yun Hai for help and was on the brink of tears. ¡°Yun Hai¡­¡± Fang Yanjun saw it too and gritted his teeth. ¡°Yun Hai, come! I¡¯ll definitely get payback for you today.¡± Yun Hai looked at He Chen and saw that he didn¡¯t seem to be interested. However, he had to appease this Young Master of the Fang family so that he wouldn¡¯t have to trouble that person from the Fang family when he returned to the capital in the future. That person was famous for being difficult to deal with. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll play a round with Young Master Fang.¡± Zhao Bo tactfully gave up his seat and secretly heaved a sigh of relief. ¡­ The other party issued another PK invitation. A trace of impatience appeared on Tang Zhi¡¯s pretty face and she rejected it mercilessly. Young Master Fang, who was rubbing his palms and preparing to take revenge, was dumbfounded. ¡°Zhao Xu, are you done yet? Are you a sore loser?¡± Qin Jiayin couldn¡¯t take it anymore and mocked, ¡°If you can¡¯t afford to lose, you should have said so earlier.¡± Zhao Xu felt a little embarrassed. ¡°It¡¯s the last round. If you lose, I¡¯ll take the video for you and upload it to the Rong University¡¯s school forum.¡± Luo Siyu¡¯s expression changed, but she did not say anything. Qin Jiayin¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°You said it yourself.¡± She turned her head and looked at Tang Zhi pleadingly. ¡°Xiao Zhi, Xiao Zhi ~¡± ¡°One more round and I¡¯ll tell you where the spicy stewed fish is.¡± Tang Zhi lazily sat up straight and glanced at her. ¡°Your treat.¡± ¡°No problem!¡± The other party seemed indignant and sent another PK invitation. This time, Tang Zhi accepted it. It was still the same two IDs, but she quickly realized that the opponent had changed. The person who had replaced him was stronger.. Chapter 8 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations This round lasted longer. Tang Zhi nimbly controlled her character to attack the opponent¡¯s vital points, but the opponent dodged all of them. Obviously, this person knew a lot about combat. If that was the case¡­ Tang Zhi focused her attention and suddenly turned around and pounced forward without any care. She didn¡¯t have any defense and practically exposed all her weaknesses in front of the other party. ¡­ In the private room on the top floor, Yun Hai silently sweated. No one would believe him even if he said it out loud, but he was actually struggling. All of a sudden, the other party exposed a huge loophole. Yun Hai seized the opportunity and punched with all his might. The character he chose was a strength-type. With this punch, the opponent¡¯s HP bar instantly dropped drastically and became a striking red color. There was still 10% left. If this was a real arena, the opponent would have been seriously injured. However, the change happened very quickly. The opponent¡¯s body twisted in a strange angle in mid-air and kicked his lower body. Then, without giving him any time to catch his breath, the second attack followed and hit his vital points. KO! Yun Hai looked at the screen. His game character had collapsed and turned into a corpse. He felt terrible. Fang Yanjun was also dumbfounded. He had forgotten he was still in the game and was then killed by the other party without hesitation¡­ After a while, he finally reacted. ¡°Damn! Yun Hai, what¡¯s happening?¡± Yun Hai looked at him resentfully. ¡°Young Master Fang, you had a chance to win just now.¡± He had already wounded the other party gravely. No matter how weak Fang Yanjun was, if he gave it a punch, he dared to bet that the other party would be the first to ¡®die¡¯. Fang Yanjun recalled the scene of him ¡®throwing his life away¡¯ for nothing. It was too embarrassing! ¡°How could you lose!?¡± It was not his fault. He was too shocked and forgot to fight back. ¡°This person knows a lot about combat and vital points.¡± Yun Hai thought about it and could only explain it this way. ¡°An expert? There¡¯s such a person in the entertainment city?¡± Fang Yanjun¡¯s eyes lit up and he was instantly interested. ¡°Not necessarily. This is a game after all.¡± Although it was a simulation, it was still a game. ¡°Boring.¡± Fang Yanjun¡¯s interest instantly diminished drastically and he casually tossed the tablet in his hand onto the sofa. ¡°Brother Chen, what do you think?¡± On the sofa, the man in the black shirt looked up. His gaze was profound as he glanced at Yun Hai. A chill ran down Yun Hai¡¯s back. He couldn¡¯t help but shiver while suddenly having a bad feeling. Indeed, at the next moment, he heard the man¡¯s deep voice. ¡°Half of your year-end bonus will be deducted.¡± Yun Hai, becoming anxious, immediately froze. ¡°Master Chen, you can¡¯t do this!¡± The man glanced over indifferently, and Yun Hai was instantly intimidated into silence. He felt frustrated, but couldn¡¯t say anything about it! Didn¡¯t he just lose a match!? However, it would be quite embarrassing if people from the four pavilions lost this kind of simulated simulation fight. Thus, Yun Hai looked at Fang Yanjun with even more resentment. If it weren¡¯t for the sake of accompanying this young master, he wouldn¡¯t have lost half of his year-end bonus for no reason. Fang Yanjun was also a little dejected as he turned to look at the corner of the wall. ¡°Who the hell did you find for me?¡± Zhao Bo was about to cry. This was the umpteenth time he had scolded his nephew inside. He originally wanted to try his best to lean towards the corner to reduce his presence, but he didn¡¯t expect Fang Yanjun to settle the score. He said carefully, ¡°How about I go down and get that person here for you, Young Master Fang?¡± This game could only be found in the gaming room of the Royal Entertainment City, so the other party must be here.. Chapter 9 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Fang Yanjun looked at him disdainfully. ¡°I¡¯m not a sore loser.¡± Zhao Bo shrank back in embarrassment. He could not tell what this young master was thinking and did not dare to speak anymore. Fang Yanjun wasn¡¯t in the mood to continue gaming. He looked to the side and asked, ¡°Brother Chen, what do you plan to do about the Zhou family?¡± The man¡¯s expression was indifferent. He leaned back and looked over casually. ¡°What did she say to you?¡± Fang Yanjun was used to his aloof and distant attitude when he mentioned that person, as though he was a stranger. ¡°What else could that person possibly say? He just wants me to pass the message to help the Zhou family to you. However, the Zhou family is quite gutsy to actually beg you.¡± ¡°Last night at Yunlan Hotel, I was wondering since when did you have a cousin?¡± Yun Hai explained, ¡°Madam Zhou is from the He family¡¯s third branch. She is indeed related to Master He.¡± Fang Yanjun scoffed. ¡°The He family is big and powerful, and the third branch is just one of the side branches. They are just very distant cousins, so it¡¯s farfetched to say that they¡¯re related. It¡¯s all because¡­¡± He Jinhong had a good relationship with He Chen¡¯s mother, Chen Lan. Back when Chen Lan was still a member of the He family, she had been very close to the third branch. Fang Yanjun secretly glanced at the gloomy man and didn¡¯t finish his sentence. ¡°Zhou Yuhao is really stupid. He actually got together with his fianc¨¦e¡¯s cousin. Tsk tsk, he really doesn¡¯t know whose side he should be on.¡± Fang Yanjun¡¯s tone was filled with disdain. Yun Hai immediately felt gossipy. When Zhou Yuhao and Zhou Yuhao came last night, he was also there. ¡°Young Master Fang, that¡¯s not how you should put it.¡± ¡°That¡¯s true. With Zhou Yuhao¡¯s dim-witted brain, he wouldn¡¯t understand something so complex.¡± ¡°Cough cough¡­¡± Yun Hai was speechless. Yun Hai rubbed his chin and pondered for a moment before saying, ¡°Master Chen, the Zhou Family is in the wrong. This matter isn¡¯t easy to handle. Don¡¯t let others think that we¡¯re bullying this little girl.¡± He Chen glanced at him and said in a deep voice, ¡°I¡¯ll leave this to you.¡± Yun Hai was baffled. ¡­ Downstairs, Tang Zhi and Qin Jiayin came out together. The valet had already driven the car over to wait. Tang Zhi took the car keys and threw them to Qin Jiayin. ¡°You drive.¡± Only Qin Jiayin knew the location of the spicy stewed fish restaurant. Qin Jiayin was speechless, but said, ¡°Fine. I¡¯ll drive.¡± Qin Jiayin walked over and sat in the driver¡¯s seat. Tang Zhi sat in the passenger seat in a good mood. She glanced around from the corner of her eyes and paused. About four to five bodyguards in black suits came out of the entertainment city and stood neatly at the side. Then, three people walked out. The man in the middle was wearing a pure black shirt and a pair of black trousers. His brows were slightly furrowed. The two distinct auras, coldness and arrogance, were strangely harmonious on him. The man¡¯s expression was indifferent. Occasionally, he would tilt his head and speak to the young man in a light-colored suit beside him. Tsk, this was the second time she saw him, but he was still so handsome. Tang Zhi leaned back in her chair and smiled. He Chen stopped in his tracks and looked in a certain direction. In his vision, only a very ordinary black car drove past and slowly disappeared at the intersection. His deep eyes flickered. No one knew what he was thinking. ¡°Master Chen, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Yun Hai realized that his boss was sizing something up. When he looked over, he saw a side profile in the car window. He was stunned. After thinking for a while, he said, ¡°I think I saw this lady last night in Yunlan Hotel.¡± He remembered that this lady was nestled on the sofa in the hall. She was very reserved, but her face was very beautiful. She was not a wallflower at all. It was also because of this that he took another look and had some impression of her.. Chapter 10 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations After lunch, Tang Zhi and Qin Jiayin separated and Tang Zhi returned to the Tang Family villa. As soon as she entered the room, she saw Professor Tang and Mrs. Li sitting on the sofa. Tang Shixun was wearing an old-fashioned suit that made him look elegant. A pot of tea was brewed in front of him, and its aroma wafted through the air. Tang Zhi glanced at the clay teapot and remained silent. Yeah, she bought it last month for Professor Tang. It costed three million. ¡°Baby!¡± Li Wanyi¡¯s appearance was extremely beautiful. It was as if no signs of age could be seen on her face. When she saw Tang Zhi, she immediately stood up from the sofa and hugged her daughter while kissing her hard on her face. Tang Zhi was already used to Madam Li¡¯s display of affection, so she let her kiss and touch her without being fazed. ¡°My precious daughter is indeed the prettiest.¡± After having enough of touching her, Madam Li looked at Tang Zhi¡¯s face with satisfaction. She was too beautiful. The couple¡¯s appearance was outstanding to begin with. The father was handsome and the mother was beautiful. They were also a couple that everyone in Rong University envied. Tang Zhi seemed to have inherited their good genes. ¡°Cough cough¡­¡± Professor Tang coughed and said, ¡°You¡¯re back?¡± Tang Zhi nodded and casually threw her car keys on the coffee table. ¡°Dad, Mom, why are you guys back?¡± She remembered that the archaeological project in Su City was not over yet. Father Tang was unhappy and said with a straight face, ¡°If we don¡¯t come back, were you going to tell us about the annulment?¡± Madam Li glared at him unhappily. ¡°Enough, don¡¯t be so stern. You scared Xiao Zhi.¡± Mr. Tang coughed guiltily and muttered, ¡°She should have told us about such a big matter. If not for her brother coincidentally seeing it, we would still be in the dark.¡± ¡°So what if she told you?¡± Li Wanyi started to complain. ¡°You¡¯re digging underground every day. You¡¯re living like an ancient person. You don¡¯t have time for your wife and daughter.¡± Professor Tang knew that he was in the wrong, so he kept quiet. Tang Zhi rubbed his eyebrows and had nothing to say about their interaction. Outside, Father Tang was the Tang Family¡¯s Second Master, a knowledgeable and cultivated professor of archaeology, but in front of Madam Li, he was like a puppet. After his wife complained, the more Professor Tang thought about it, the angrier he got. ¡°The Zhou family is too out of line!¡± Madam Li glanced at him. ¡°This marriage was decided by the two families¡¯ elders. Now that the two elders are no longer around, there¡¯s nothing strange about not wanting to acknowledge this marriage agreement.¡± ¡°Besides, He Jinhong has a weird personality. One look and I can tell that she¡¯s a difficult mother-in-law to get along with. I was afraid that Xiao Zhi would suffer if she married over. It¡¯s good that she called it off.¡± Professor Tang was speechless. He thought about it and felt that his wife was right. He didn¡¯t like the Zhou Family¡¯s brat either. Tang Zhi watched as her parents made the decision presumptuously. Very well. It seemed like she didn¡¯t need to waste her breath anymore. Otherwise, wouldn¡¯t it be inappropriate to call Zhou Yuhao stupid? ¡°Although I don¡¯t like that brat from the Zhou Family, my precious daughter can¡¯t be wronged. Who is he to look down on her?¡± Li Wanyi glared at Tang Shixun. ¡°You must make the Zhou family apologize to Xiao Zhi.¡± ¡°Okay, okay, okay. I know. The Zhou family has really gone overboard this time.¡± Tang Shixun was angry too. The Zhou family was too outrageous. ¡°Just the Zhou Family?¡± Li Wanyi glanced at him. ¡°Is Xuanyi not going overboard?¡± Professor Tang shrunk his neck and felt even more guilty. ¡°Hmph, no matter how bad the Zhou family¡¯s brat is, he¡¯s still engaged to Xiao Zhi. She¡¯s Xiao Zhi¡¯s cousin. How can an elder sister snatch her younger sister¡¯s fianc¨¦?¡± Li Wanyi was already unhappy about this.. Chapter 11 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations The next day, people from the Tang Family¡¯s old residence called. It was Madam Li who picked up the call. After answering the call, she looked a little upset. She said, ¡°Call Xiao Zhi down.¡± Mrs. Fang quickly agreed and ran upstairs to knock on Tang Zhi¡¯s door. ¡°Miss, the Madam wants you to go down. The old residence called.¡± How annoying! Tang Zhi wasn¡¯t a morning person. ¡°Alright, I understand¡­¡± Tang Zhi covered her head with the blanket and her voice was muffled. She had insomnia last night. For some reason, she was reminded of that pleasing yet cold face. His striking black shirt kept lingering in her mind. Yes, the weather in Rong City was a little hot recently. Tang Zhi dawdled for a while before going downstairs slowly. Downstairs, Tang Shixun and Li Wanyi were sitting together on the sofa in the living room. Both of them looked displeased, especially Madam Li. Tang Qian, on the other hand, sat on the single-seater sofa at the side. His gaze was cold and he pursed his lips, revealing his anger. ¡°Brother, don¡¯t you have work to do?¡± The project in Tang Qian¡¯s hands had reached the end stage. He was very busy this time so Tang Zhi was a little surprised when she saw him when she went downstairs. ¡°You¡¯ve already been bullied. As your brother, how can he still be thinking about official business?¡± Professor Tang slammed the teacup on the coffee table with displeasure on his face. Tang Zhi glanced at the teacup and didn¡¯t say anything. Tang Qian was already used to Professor Tang¡¯s double standard attitude towards his son and daughter. He patted Tang Zhi¡¯s head and said firmly, ¡°Let¡¯s go and take a look. No matter what, I will support you.¡± The old residence was located in the mid-mountain villas on the west side of the city. The scenery was excellent and the environment was quiet. The people living here were either wealthy or prominent. There were a few cars that Tang Zhi had never seen before parked in front of the Tang family¡¯s house. Tang Zhi glanced at them and suddenly rested her gaze on a pure black Phaeton. It was a low-profile black color. It felt strangely familiar. Tang Zhi tugged her collar in frustration. Ha, wasn¡¯t it just black? ¡°Second Master is back!¡± When the servant saw Tang Shixun and the rest, he immediately came out to welcome them. ¡°Second Master, the Matriarch and Patriarch are waiting for you inside.¡± Tang Shixun¡¯s expression darkened. Naturally, he saw the luxury cars parked at the entrance. It seemed that the Zhou family had arrived. Soon, they reached the living room. ¡°Huh, Second Brother is here?¡± The moment she entered, she heard Zhao Shufang¡¯s voice of unconcealed happiness. ¡°Xuanyi, come and pick her up. Your brother is here too.¡± Tang Shixun looked indifferent as he glanced at Zhao Shufang. ¡°Sister-in-law, I don¡¯t need anyone to pick me up when I return to the Tang family.¡± Those who needed someone to pick them up were guests. Zhao Shufang¡¯s smile stiffened. ¡°It¡¯s all my fault. There were guests at home today and I was so busy.¡± Not only did Tang Xuanyi hear Zhao Shufang¡¯s voice, but everyone else also heard it. Tang Xuanyi shyly greeted them, ¡°Uncle, Aunt, Brother, and Xiao Zhi.¡± Li Wanyi looked sharply at the person sitting on the sofa beside her. Other than Tang Shizong, the Tang Family¡¯s Eldest Master, there was also He Jinhong and Zhou Yuhao. He Jinhong was glamorously dressed. When He Jinhua saw Tang Shixun and his family, he sat there calmly and loftily without any intention of getting up. ¡°Is this Mrs. Zhou?¡± Although they were both in Rong City and the two old masters were old friends, Li Wanyi was teaching at Rong University with Tang Shixun and her social circle didn¡¯t include wealthy ladies like He Jinhong. However, He Jinhong attended all sorts of social events all year round and often appeared in front of the media before the New Year. Hence, Li Wanyi knew He Jinhong, her ¡®ex-in-law¡¯.. Chapter 12 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Madam Li deliberately asked this question, as though she didn¡¯t know He Jinhong. Of course, it was because she was unhappy. As expected, He Jinhong¡¯s expression darkened. She had always been concerned about her reputation and came from the He family of the capital. All the ladies in the upper-class circle of Rong City kissed up to her. Li Wanyi actually shamed her in public. How insolent! ¡°Second Madam Tang, it doesn¡¯t matter if you recognize me or not. I brought Yuhao here today to end the engagement. The two of them are not suitable.¡± He Jinhong took a sip of tea. Li Wanyi¡¯s expression darkened. He Jinhong¡¯s tone was too disrespectful. Even if they were unsuitable, she should be the one to say it. After all, it was the Zhou family who broke the agreement first. ¡°Oh, he¡¯s not compatible with Xiao Zhi. He¡¯s compatible with Xuanyi. He cheated with his fianc¨¦e¡¯s cousin. Madam He really raised a good son.¡± Li Wanyi had always been gentle and polite to others. She rarely spoke so harshly. But now, her anger had reached its peak. ¡°If the the marriage is to be cancelled, we should be the ones to do it. It¡¯s the Zhou family¡¯s fault, not my precious daughter¡¯s.¡± He Jinhong¡¯s expression could no longer be described with the word ¡®unpleasant¡¯. Seeing that the atmosphere had become tense, Zhao Shufang hurriedly tried to smooth things over. ¡°This¡­ Sister-in-law, since Yuhao doesn¡¯t like Xiao Zhi, you can¡¯t force things, right? What¡¯s wrong with helping Xuanyi? Xuanyi is also a daughter of the Tang family. In the future, the Tang and Zhou families will still be in-laws. At least we didn¡¯t let the two elders down.¡± ¡°Sister-in-law! Don¡¯t you feel ashamed saying this?¡± It was obvious that Tang Xuanyi was involved with her sister¡¯s fiance, yet Zhao Shufang claimed that they should back down and help Tang Xuanyi. He Jinhong¡¯s eyes flickered. She wasn¡¯t that satisfied with Tang Xuanyi. However, since Tang Shizong wielded power in the Tang Family, he was better than two university professors. Besides, Zhao Shufang was in a hurry to speak up for her. She was happy to see the marriage happen. Tang Shixun looked at his wife, who was furious, and looked at Tang Shizong. ¡°Is this also my brother¡¯s idea?¡± Tang Shizong and Tang Shixun looked similar, and it was obvious that he was also handsome when he was young. However, now, his figure was a little out of shape and her belly was plump. He couldn¡¯t be compared to the elegant and refined Tang Shixun. A hint of shrewdness flashed across Tang Shizong¡¯s eyes. ¡°Second Brother, you can¡¯t make the decision on this matter. Moreover, the Tang and Zhou families are on good terms, so there¡¯s no need to make things so ugly. Let¡¯s cancel the marriage today so that we don¡¯t continue to quarrel and fall out with each other.¡± Tang Qian¡¯s eyes darkened when he heard this. ¡°Are we just going to let go of the grievances that Xiao Zhi suffered?¡± Tang Shixun was furious. ¡°The Zhou family broke the agreement first. Is this the attitude they should have when they want to break off the engagement?¡± Tang Shizong felt that he was being unappreciative. The Zhou family was one of the four most prominent families in Rong City, and He Jinhong was from the He family. Did he really expect them to humbly apologize? ¡°Second Brother, you¡¯ve been teaching in school for many years. You don¡¯t know much about the circle. If you still feel some responsibility towards the Tang Family and Mom, you shouldn¡¯t be so stubborn.¡± The insinuation was that even if Tang Shixun wasn¡¯t familiar with the ways of the world, he should understand. The Zhou family, or rather, He Jinhong, had someone backing her, and that person was someone the Tang family could not afford to cross. Tang Shixun¡¯s expression changed and he finally understood why the Matriarch did not appear. She had always doted on Xiao Zhi, but she wasn¡¯t here today.. Chapter 13 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Tang Zhi stood up from the sofa in boredom and looked at the servant beside her. ¡°Where¡¯s Grandma? I¡¯ll go and see her.¡± ¡°I¡¯m coming with you.¡± Tang Qian frowned and stood up as well. He was worried. His uncle¡¯s words had given him a bad feeling. ¡°Wait!¡± Tang Shizong stopped Tang Qian and looked at him disapprovingly. ¡°Why are you messing around too? Your grandmother has a distinguished guest. It¡¯s not convenient to disturb her.¡± Tang Shizong still regarded this nephew of his highly. Not only because he was the eldest son of the Tang family¡¯s third generation, but also because Tang Qian had already become the deputy director at such a young age and had a bright future ahead of him. Moreover, he had connections left behind by the old mayor¡­ Distinguished guest? For some reason, Tang Zhi thought of the black Phaeton parked at the entrance. ¡°Brother?¡± She looked at Tang Qian and asked if he was still going. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Tang Qian¡¯s expression did not change. Obviously, neither brother nor sister took Tang Shizong¡¯s words to heart. ¡°Stop!¡± Tang Shizong was infuriated by the two of them. He said to the servant, ¡°What are you waiting for? Stop them!¡± The servant was stunned by the shouting. Stop Eldest Young Master and the Third Young Madam? Did he hear correctly? Tang Shixun¡¯s expression darkened. He suppressed his anger and said coldly, ¡°I¡¯ve never heard of such a thing where they¡¯re being stopped when they¡¯re in their own house before.¡± ¡°Mom is still here. You¡¯re not the only one who calls the shots in the Tang Family!¡± Tang Shizong was already regretting his words, but after hearing Tang Shixun¡¯s words, he was a little angry. Tang Shixun had only been a university professor these past few years and had no intention of interfering in the Tang Family¡¯s business. But no matter what, he was still the Tang Family¡¯s Second Master and had a share in the Tang Family¡¯s assets. It was just that he didn¡¯t want to compete and many people had forgotten about this. Tang Shizong was used to being the head of the Tang Family. How could he tolerate others rebutting him? The atmosphere became tense. ¡°Why are you all arguing about? I¡¯m still here.¡± A voice broke the stalemate. Following the voice, they saw the Old Madam walking over slowly with her walking stick and she was dressed sharply. Beside her was a man in a suit. He was tall and had a serious look on his face. Tang Zhi paused and was a little surprised. ¡°Mom, Mr. Yun, why are you guys here?¡± Tang Shizong went up to them and smiled. His attitude was completely different from before towards Tang Shixun and his family. ¡°Hmph, if I didn¡¯t come over, who knows what the two of you will do!¡± Old Madam Tang used her walking stick to prop herself up. Everyone could hear the displeasure in her voice. Ever since the Old Master passed away, the Old Madam had supported the Tang family, so she had a lot of say in the Tang family. Back then, the Old Madam was also a famous career woman in the business world. It was only during these two years that she slowly started to relinquish her power and handed the Tang Family¡¯s business over to Tang Shizong to manage. ¡°Mr. Yun, what do you think?¡± Matriarch Tang looked at the man beside her. Her attitude was polite and she was a little puzzled. Only she knew that Mr. Yun was the one who suggested coming over. Yun Hai originally wanted to watch the drama, but he didn¡¯t expect to see Tang Zhi¡¯s extremely gorgeous face and forgot what to say. He widened his eyes to make sure he wasn¡¯t seeing things. She was the Third Young Madam of the Tang Family who had been rejected? So that night, the third daughter of the Tang family was also in Yunlan Hotel? She even watched her fianc¨¦ and cousin enter the hall to suck up to Master Chen? Chapter 14 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Yun Hai rubbed his nose. Why did he suddenly feel like he was helping an evildoer? He did not forget that he was here today to bully others and force the young lady to cancel the engagement. And was the Zhou Family¡¯s brat out of his mind? No matter how he looked at it, this fianc¨¦e from the Tang Family was much more attractive than the one he liked. ¡°Mr. Yun?¡± Seeing that he did not speak, Tang Shizong reminded him. ¡°Ah, you two talk. I¡¯ll just watch.¡± Yun Hai complained inside, but he still maintained a calm smile on his face. ¡°Please take a seat.¡± Tang Shizong did not dare to be negligent. Everyone in Rong City who had some status knew that this was the Vice-President of Huanyu Corporation, and he was that person¡¯s trusted aide. Compared to Huanyu Corporation, Tang Corporation was nothing. Only He Jinhong could invite him over. Yun Hai gladly accepted it and found a good seat to sit down. After the initial shock, he felt even more gossipy. This story was more exciting than he had imagined. After thinking for a while, he silently took out his phone and appeared in the group chat of the few people from the fourth pavilion. Yun Hai: Does anyone want to listen to the next chapter? No one replied¡­ Yun Hai: Guess who I saw? I guarantee it will be juicy! Yun Hu: Can you hold it in? Yun He: Spill the beans! Yun Jiang: Spill the beans. Yun Hai:¡­ Yunhai: If you want to listen to gossip, each person transfer 500 yuan. The group instantly fell silent. The next moment, three private messages were sent almost simultaneously. Yun Jiang transferred 500 yuan to you. Yun Hu transferred 500 yuan to you. Yun He transferred 500 yuan to you. Yun Hai:¡­ Heh, a bunch of hypocrites. He might as well post it in the group. Yun Hai: Do you still remember what I told you last time about that exceptionally good-looking young lady? Without waiting for a reply, he sent another message. Yun Hai: She¡¯s actually the target of Master Chen¡¯s bullying! Yun Hai: Tsk tsk, not only did the young lady get her fianc¨¦ stolen by her cousin, but she also has to suffer such indignation. Even I can¡¯t stand it anymore. Yun Hai: Hey, why aren¡¯t you all saying anything? Boss: Did I ask you to bully others? Yun Hai:???!!! On the sofa, Yun Hai shivered and almost dropped his phone. To conceal it, he picked up the cup of tea beside him and took a sip. Only then did he prevent the others in the living room from noticing anything amiss. A minute later, he picked up his phone again. He quickly built a new group of four. Yun Hai: !!! F*ck! Yun Hai: Why is Master Chen in that group?! Yun Hai: Why didn¡¯t I know!? Yun He: You sent it to the wrong group. Yun He: You sent it to the wrong group. Yun Jiang: Yes, you sent it to the wrong group. Yun Hai: Did I send it to the wrong group? The four pavilions were all under Master Chen¡¯s command, so there was naturally a group that Master Chen was in. Yes, even though Master Chen rarely ever checked it. However, there were some things that weren¡¯t convenient to say in front of Master Chen, so the four of them had a private group chat so they could chat more casually. But what happened just now? He clearly remembered that he had sent it in the private group chat! Did he really send it to the wrong group chat? Yun Hai was confused. After some thought, he sent a message to his boss while his hands trembled. Yun Hai: Master Chen? He actually received a reply very quickly. Boss: There¡¯s no need. Yun Hai:?? What did you say? Boss: There¡¯s no need to bully others in my name. Yun Hai looked at the reply and felt dejected. He carefully typed out a sentence: Does this marriage still need to be canceled? The other party seemed to be silent for a moment before sending another message: Yes. After he sent this message, there was no other reply. Yun Hai stared at his phone and fell into deep thought.. So what Master Chen meant was¡­ Chapter 15 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Tang Zhi recognized Yun Hai, the person who opened the door for Zhou Yuhao outside the Landscape Hall that night and the person who was at the Royal Entertainment City yesterday. From the looks of it, he should be his subordinate, so the Zhou Family¡¯s backer was¡¯ him ¡®? She pursed her lips and lowered her eyes slightly. Huanyu Corporation, He Chen. She had heard of this name before, but she did not know much about him. ¡°Vice President Yun intends to interfere in the engagement?¡± In the living room, Tang Qian suddenly spoke and everyone was stunned. Tang Shizong¡¯s expression immediately changed and he smiled apologetically. ¡°Vice President Yun, the younger generation is insensible. Please don¡¯t take it to heart.¡± As he spoke, he felt a little uneasy. Fourth Master He was not a soft-hearted person. Those who provoked him would not have a good ending. Yun Hai was He Chen¡¯s trusted aide. Provoking him was no different from provoking He Chen. He was afraid that the man would vent his anger on the Tang family, so he kept giving Tang Qian looks. Yun Hai, on the other hand, laughed in a playful manner. ¡°Vice-Director Tang is young and promising, and he¡¯s also the grandson of the old mayor. Everyone is full of praise for him, a rising star. How could he be insensible?¡± ¡°Thank you for the praise.¡± Tang Shizong did not expect Yun Hai to know Tang Qian and was a little surprised. Tang Qian calmed down slightly. He had indeed met Yun Hai several times, but the two of them had no ties at all. He said calmly, ¡°I don¡¯t deserve Vice President Yun¡¯s praise. However, Vice President Yun hasn¡¯t answered me yet. Are you going to interfere?¡± Or rather, was the person behind Yun Hai going to interfere? If it was really his intention, then today¡¯s matter would be really difficult to handle. When he thought of this, Tang Qian¡¯s expression darkened. Yun Hai was extremely conflicted. Should he interfere? When Master Chen said that the marriage was going to be annulled, he was probably asking him to make a move, right? But how? Master Chen didn¡¯t say so explicitly. ¡°Ahem, you don¡¯t have to worry about me. Just do what you need to do.¡± He was just a tool that Master Chen had casually thrown over to make up the numbers, and he got to watch the juicy drama firsthand as well. ¡°Since that¡¯s the case¡­¡± Tang Qian looked at the mother and son of the Zhou family and said calmly,¡± We¡¯ll cancel this marriage agreement, but he must apologize to Xiao Zhi.¡± Tang Qian pointed at Zhou Yuhao and frowned. Zhou Yuhao¡¯s expression changed. ¡°Why should I apologize to her?¡± Tang Qian¡¯s expression turned cold. ¡°You¡¯re a man who breaks his promises. Not only did you break your engagement with Xiao Zhi, but you also got involved with Xuanyi. You can¡¯t humiliate my sister time and time again!¡± ¡°If you don¡¯t apologize to Xiao Zhi, the Tang family won¡¯t agree to you being together with Xuanyi.¡± Tang Xuanyi¡¯s face turned pale. ¡°Brother!¡± Tang Qian ignored her and looked at Zhou Yuhao coldly. ¡°You can try.¡± Zhou Yuhao froze. He did not dare to gamble. ¡°Yuhao, I¡­¡± Tang Xuanyi felt wronged and her eyes welled up with tears. Zhou Yuhao felt his heart ache and he looked at He Jinhong pleadingly. ¡°Mom, you said you would help me.¡± He didn¡¯t want to apologize nor lose Tang Xuanyi. He Jinhong looked at Tang Xuanyi unhappily. But, today¡¯s goal was mainly to end the engagement with the Tang Family. Everything else could be discussed later. ¡°Yuhao is young and gullible. But if word of this matter gets out, he won¡¯t be the one to suffer.¡± He Jinhong acted patronizing and did not look at Tang Qian, but at Old Madam Tang. ¡°The marriage was decided by the two elders back then, but now that things have come to this, it¡¯s not just Yuhao¡¯s fault. The Tang Family has a share too. Don¡¯t you agree, Old Madam?¡± Old Madam Tang pulled a long face as she looked at Tang Xuanyi with disappointment. She looked at Yun Hai, who was next to her. She wanted to say something, but hesitated. Finally, she let out a long sigh.. Chapter 16 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations When He Jinhong saw this, a look of disdain crossed her face. As expected, the Tang family didn¡¯t have the guts to go against He Chen. ¡°Since the Matriarch doesn¡¯t have any objections, then it¡¯s settled. The marriage is over. We still have matters to attend to at home, so we won¡¯t disturb the Matriarch anymore. Yuhao, let¡¯s go.¡± Yun Hai was a bit stunned. Why did he feel like everyone seemed to have misunderstood something? Master Chen said that he shouldn¡¯t take advantage of his position to bully others. Did he ruin things? He was about to explain when a voice interrupted him. ¡°Wait!¡± A person rushed in with an unfriendly expression. Li Wanyi said in surprise, ¡°Jingcheng, why are you here?¡± Li Jingcheng greeted Li Wanyi and glanced sideways at Zhou Yuhao. ¡°Are you the Zhou Family¡¯s idiot?¡± ¡°Who are you?¡± Zhou Yuhao looked at him warily. Li Jingcheng suddenly smiled brightly, revealing two neat rows of white teeth. The next moment, he punched Zhou Yuhao¡¯s face ruthlessly. ¡°I am your grandpa!¡± The sudden turn of events shocked everyone. He Jinhong screamed, ¡°Yuhao!¡± Zhou Yuhao was in so much pain that he was dizzy. His nose started to bleed with red blood¡­ Tang Zhi watched the chaotic scene and fell silent. Li Jingcheng crossed his arms proudly and laughed at the side. ¡°I didn¡¯t hit him. He fell by himself. He¡¯s so weak. How useless.¡± ¡°I said that this marriage agreement should have ended a long time ago. He wants to marry my cousin? I¡¯m not blind.¡± ¡°Shut up!¡± He Jinhong shot daggers at him and turned around angrily. ¡°Yun Hai, what are you waiting for? Grab him and bring him to the Zhou family¡¯s home!¡± She had never hit her own son, but today, he was hit by this person who came out of nowhere. Yun Hai had been praising this man for his ferocity, but he hadn¡¯t expected to be suddenly called out. His expression darkened when he heard He Jinhong¡¯s words. ¡°Madam Zhou, Master Chen only asked me to come over. He didn¡¯t say that he would clean up your mess. I won¡¯t interfere with other matters.¡± He Jinhong was about to go mad with anger. ¡°You, you, well then!¡± She had no time to deal with a servant of the He family. She called her chauffeur. ¡°Quick, send Young Master to the hospital!¡± ¡­ After this farce ended, no one in the Tang Family expected Yun Hai to have this attitude. Tang Zhi glanced at Li Jingcheng, who was still feeling gleeful, and said, ¡°Come out with me.¡± With that, she took the lead and walked out. Li Jingcheng followed without another word. By the flower platform in the backyard of the Tang Family¡¯s old estate. Tang Zhi leaned against the wall as she looked at Li Jingcheng. She asked, ¡°Why are you here?¡± Li Jingcheng was her cousin and Tang Zhi¡¯s uncle¡¯s son. They had a good relationship since childhood. Tang Zhi wasn¡¯t surprised that Li Jingcheng would stand up for her, but why did he come to the Tang Family¡¯s old residence? Back then, the Li family looked down on Tang Shixun for marrying twice, so in order to marry Tang Shixun, Li Wanyi had a falling out with her family. It wasn¡¯t until Tang Zhi was born that their relationship eased up a little. But even so, the two families rarely interacted. Not to mention coming to the Tang Family¡¯s old estate. Hence, she did not think it was a coincidence that Li Jingcheng was here. Li Jingcheng found a chair and sat down. He said casually, ¡°Isn¡¯t it because I¡¯m afraid that you¡¯ll be bullied? Why waste your breath with such a person? Just give him a punch.¡± Tang Zhi raised her eyebrows and automatically ignored the last sentence. Bully her? ¡°My brother told you?¡± Apart from Tang Qian, she could not think of anyone else who would tell Li Jingcheng about the Zhou Family coming to the old mansion to cancel the engagement. ¡°Yes.¡± Li Jingcheng rubbed his head in frustration. ¡°Go back and tell him not to play dirty next time. If he has anything to say, just say it. He made me get scolded by my father again..¡± Chapter 17 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Tang Zhi smiled. ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll try my best.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t try your best. It¡¯s a must. You must do it! Otherwise, I¡¯m afraid that I might be screwed to death one day.¡± The more Li Jingcheng thought about it, the angrier he got. ¡°F*ck, I don¡¯t know how I offended him. He¡¯s such a manipulator. None of them are good.¡± Hearing him grumble non-stop, Tang Zhi narrowed her eyes and started to meditate. When Li Jingcheng was finally tired, she said calmly, ¡°Help me investigate someone.¡± Li Jingcheng froze and his expression turned serious. ¡°Who?¡± ¡°Huanyu Corporation¡¯s He Chen.¡± After Tang Zhi said this, he glanced at the quietly blooming begonia in the flower bed. It was bright and dazzling. She, her throat a little dry, tugged at her collar. If she remembered correctly, Malus spectabilis stood for bitter love and parting. He, she didn¡¯t like growing flowers. ¡°Who are you talking about?¡± Li Jingcheng, wondering if he had heard wrongly, raised his voice. Tang Zhi glanced at him. ¡°Are you deaf?¡± Li Jingcheng felt choked. After a while, he confirmed that he had not heard wrongly and said seriously, ¡°Are you serious?¡± ¡°You can¡¯t investigate?¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Li Jingcheng gritted his teeth and reminded him after some thought. ¡°But it¡¯s best not to provoke He Chen. He might be even more powerful than you think.¡± Tang Zhi was a little surprised. Li Jingcheng had never been so afraid of someone before. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t go against him.¡± Li Jingcheng heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°I¡¯ll send you the information tomorrow afternoon.¡± ¡°Mm.¡± Tang Zhi nodded indifferently. ¡°Let¡¯s go. It¡¯s time to go back.¡± Li Jingcheng gritted his teeth when he saw how nonchalant she was. Fine, she was the boss. ¡­ In Rong University¡¯s Department of Psychology meeting room, there were quite a number of people sitting in the room. When Tang Zhi pushed open the door, almost everyone looked over. ¡°Tang Zhi is here?¡± At the front of the conference table, an amiable old man smiled at her. ¡°Hello Professor.¡± Tang Zhi greeted him and walked to a corner seat at the end of the table. Professor Zhang wasn¡¯t angry about this. He glanced at the others and said with a gentle smile, ¡°Let me introduce everyone. Tang Zhi will also participate in this event with you guys.¡± The moment he said that, Tang Zhi could feel more eyes on her. ¡°I disagree.¡± A voice suddenly sounded, and it carried some dissatisfaction. ¡°The school organized this event, and there¡¯s a lot of attention on it. There are also students from the journalism department coming along, and we¡¯re all going with research questions. Everyone is either a postgraduate student or an expert professor. What would a third-year student do?¡± Rong University¡¯s Department of Psychology organized a research project on children¡¯s psychology and health in the surrounding suburbs. This caused quite a public stir. Last night, she received a call from Professor Zhang asking her to participate in this research project, so she rushed over today. Otherwise, with her lazy personality, she definitely wouldn¡¯t return to school for work during the holidays. However, she did not expect someone to object to her participation. Tang Zhi raised her eyes and saw a pretty girl with exquisite makeup looking at her unhappily. Professor Zhang chuckled. ¡°Bai Qing, Tang Zhi is also an outstanding student in the school. She has strong professional knowledge and won¡¯t cause trouble.¡± ¡°Professor Zhang, you can¡¯t be biased just because she¡¯s your disciple. This topic is a tradition of the psychology department at Rong University. The school values it very much. If anything happens, no one can bear the responsibility..¡± Chapter 18 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Professor Zhang¡¯s smile also faded. ¡°Since it¡¯s a school project, anyone who meets the requirements can participate. There¡¯s no difference in seniority. Tang Zhi¡¯s application materials are the same as yours. They were all personally approved by Dean Wu. Does anyone have any questions?¡± The old man, who had always been amiable, looked around at the crowd with some austerity. Many people lowered their heads and did not say a word. Actually, most people didn¡¯t care about Tang Zhi¡¯s involvement. After all, the school event aimed at creating publicity. To put it bluntly, it was to increase the prestige of Rong University¡¯s psychology department and social influence. It had nothing to do with advanced research in the laboratory. It made sense for a third-year student to participate in. However, Bai Qing was Professor Li¡¯s disciple. They didn¡¯t want to cross her. ¡°Bai Qing, although Tang Zhi hasn¡¯t entered a teacher¡¯s laboratory, that¡¯s because she¡¯s unwilling to. It¡¯s not that she can¡¯t enter and she won¡¯t drag us down.¡± ¡°Exactly. It¡¯s not like this is some kind of advanced experiment or anything. Her dragging us down is out of the question.¡± A few people chimed in. Tang Zhi recognized them. They were all students led by Professor Zhang. She smiled. ¡°You guys¡­¡± Bai Qing pushed the documents in her hand onto the table and said angrily,¡± Then she¡¯ll be in the same group as you guys. If you guys can¡¯t keep up with the progress of the research project, you guys will be responsible. Don¡¯t implicate others. ¡± ¡°Ha, so be it. If you can¡¯t even keep up with such a small task, I think it¡¯s time to improve your professional skills.¡± Bai Qing¡¯s expression turned even uglier. ¡°Cough cough¡­ Alright, cut it out. This matter is settled. Tang Zhi will participate with you guys. Everyone, go back and prepare properly. We will set off for the county district the day after tomorrow. This time, other than the students from the journalism department, there will also be television stations and media outlets accompanying us. Everyone, pay attention to your conduct. Don¡¯t embarrass our psychology department.¡± Professor Zhang patiently reminded them before he dismissed the meeting. Tang Zhi came out of the meeting room and was stopped by someone. ¡°Greetings.¡± Tang Zhi greeted politely. Senior Brother Sun smiled and said, ¡°The teacher has finally convinced you this time. Otherwise, it wouldn¡¯t be easy to get you to participate in a research project with us.¡± He was a warm and gentle person, and was also the student that Professor Zhang had taught the longest, so everyone in Professor Sun¡¯s laboratory usually treated him as their senior brother. He was usually in charge of many things in the laboratory. Back then, when Professor Zhang insisted on taking Tang Zhi as his disciple, the old man¡¯s childish nature started acting up. He came to her every day, and it was Sun Yutong who kept him company. Hence, he was considered the person Tang Zhi was the most familiar with among the people in the laboratory. Earlier in the meeting room, he was the first to speak up for her. When she thought about how her teacher had called her yesterday to ask her to participate in this research project, she couldn¡¯t help but have a headache. ¡°However, you¡¯ve already promised me to participate in this activity. When do you plan to enter the laboratory? Our teacher has a project in his hands recently, and he doesn¡¯t have enough manpower. He started thinking of you again.¡± ¡°We¡¯ll talk about it later.¡± Tang Zhi pursed his lips. His gaze was nonchalant and his expression couldn¡¯t be discerned. Senior Brother Sun thought about it and hesitated for a moment before saying, ¡°Don¡¯t take what happened just now to heart. We all know that you are capable. You¡¯re qualified to participate in this school event.¡± ¡°Bai Qing is a graduate student under Professor Li. She¡¯s not like us. You know that.¡± ¡°Yes, I¡¯m fine. Don¡¯t worry, Senior Brother..¡± Chapter 19 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations After separating from Senior Brother Sun, Tang Zhi received a call from Li Jingcheng as soon as she walked out of the school gate. ¡°I¡¯ve already sent you the information, but the information I can find is limited. The club¡¯s database only has some basic information. You¡­ better not provoke him.¡± She could hear the seriousness in Li Jingcheng¡¯s tone even through the phone. There were only two possibilities for him to not be able to find out anything. Firstly, He Chen was too squeaky clean. There was only basic information about him. Second, he didn¡¯t have enough authority. Li Jingcheng did not think that Huanyu Corporation¡¯s boss would be the former. Tang Zhi raised his eyebrows. Something that even Li Jingcheng couldn¡¯t find¡­ ¡°Yes, I understand.¡± Tang Zhi hung up. Twenty minutes later, she arrived at a cafe and found a window seat. She opened her phone and started to browse through the information Li Jingcheng sent her. There was very little information, only some basic introductions, and two photographs. The outside world only knew of He Chen¡¯s name. Li Jingcheng had found these two photos in the St club¡¯s database. One of the photos was an official business photo. Tang Zhi¡¯s gaze stopped on another photo. There was only a side profile in the photo. Judging from the background, it should be at a high-end club. The man was dressed in a suit and leather shoes. He had a slender figure and his eyes were looking straight ahead with an indifferent expression. Even his walking posture was so imposing. After staring at the photo for ten seconds, Tang Zhi put away her phone and turned to look out the window. The cafe was on the second floor, opposite a very famous private restaurant. The customers there were either affluent or prominent. A few people suddenly came out of the door. Tang Zhi saw He Chen walking in front at a glance. The hand holding the coffee cup stopped in mid-air. The third time¡­ Tang Zhi counted silently. At the entrance of Li Garden. Yun Hai casually raised his head and took a glance, then froze. He muttered, ¡°Why does that person look like Miss Tang?¡± He Chen looked over and saw a slender figure sitting by the window. His gaze froze. It was Tang Zhi¡¯s first time meeting He Chen¡¯s eyes. They were a distance away so she couldn¡¯t see the man¡¯s expression clearly. However, she could feel his sullen and steady aura. A moment later, she picked up her car keys and went downstairs. ¡°Miss Tang, we meet again.¡± Yun Hai greeted her with a smile. Tang Zhi nodded slightly. ¡°Vice President Yun, thank you for what happened yesterday.¡± No matter what the reason was, Yun Hai didn¡¯t attack Li Jingcheng in the end. This was also unexpected to Tang Zhi. From He Jinhong¡¯s confident expression, she had assumed that Yun Hai would intervene. Yun Hai stole a glance at his boss and smiled politely. ¡°Miss Tang, you¡¯re worrying too much. This is between the Tang family and the Zhou family after all. There¡¯s no need for me to interfere.¡± Tang Zhi looked at him with a nonchalant smile until Yun Hai felt guilty. Then, he slowly retracted his gaze and looked behind him. The man had already entered the car. The black windshield was tightly sealed, blocking her view of the person inside. Tang Zhi retracted his gaze. ¡°Vice President Yun still has something on, so I won¡¯t disturb you.¡± ¡°Miss Tang, please go ahead.¡± Yun Hai, unsure of the situation, watched as she left. Yesterday, at the Tang Family¡¯s home, the daughter of the Tang Family did not say a single word from beginning to end. It was as if she had gone over to watch the drama, just like him. Why did she seem different today? However, he couldn¡¯t tell exactly what it was. Until he got into the car, he was still thinking about this question. He Chen glanced at him and said nonchalantly, ¡°In a few days, Yun He will enter Huanyu. You will be in charge of the handover.¡± Yun Hai quivered and instantly sobered up.. Chapter 20 - News from Ningjiang County Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Yun He was coming to Rong City!? Yun Hai looked at his boss cautiously and probed, ¡°Master Chen, have I done something wrong recently?¡± Otherwise, why would he transfer Yun He over for no reason? He Chen glanced at him. ¡°He¡¯s taking over the investment department.¡± Yun Hai heaved a sigh of relief. Luckily, he was in charge of the administrative department and therefore wasn¡¯t out of his job. Otherwise, who knew how those three people would laugh at him. Back then, when Master Chen came to Rong City, he was the first one to mentor him. Yun Hai calmed down and thought of something else. He said, ¡°Oh right, Master Chen, Madam Zhou seems to be very unhappy with the Tang family. Zhou Yuhao was beaten up and is still lying in the hospital. I¡¯m afraid she won¡¯t be able to take this lying down.¡± ¡°Did she look for you?¡± He Chen asked calmly. Yun Hai nodded. ¡°Yes, she wants you to teach Li Jingcheng a lesson.¡± ¡°The Li Family has been developing very rapidly in recent years, especially after Li Jingcheng took over, and the business of the Li Tai Pharmaceutical Company has developed overseas. We suspected that he might have the support of an international organization.¡± Yun Hai sounded serious too. Li Jingcheng was considered a rising star in Rong City¡¯s pharmaceutical industry. He did not expect to see him hitting someone at the Tang Family home yesterday. This did not match his status. He Chen closed his eyes and leaned against the back of the car seat. He didn¡¯t show any emotions. The atmosphere in the car became quiet. Yun Hai didn¡¯t know what his boss was thinking. He asked hesitantly, ¡°Master Chen, should we still interfere in Madam Zhou¡¯s matters?¡± He Chen slowly opened his eyes and said, ¡°Are you very free?¡± Yun Hai choked. No, he was not free at all! If he made the boss feel like he was free, would he be fired soon? He quickly changed the topic to prove that he wasn¡¯t idle at all. ¡°Master Chen, there¡¯s news from Ningjiang County. Someone has seen Master Cheng there once.¡± He Chen rubbed his eyebrows. ¡°Get the crew to prepare. I¡¯ll go over.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± ¡­ In the Tang Family villa, Li Wanyi and Tang Shixun were drinking tea on the living room sofa. Because the school was already on summer break, and they had taken leave from the archaeological project team to rush back from Su City, the two of them had nothing to do after canceling the engagement. ¡°Dad, Mom.¡± Tang Zhi entered and greeted her with a nod. ¡°My darling is back,¡± Li Wanyi replied with a smile. ¡°Ahem¡­ Xiao Zhi, I have something to discuss with you.¡± Professor Tang looked conflicted. When he received Mrs. Li¡¯s warning gaze, he shrunk back and didn¡¯t say anything. Only then was Madam Li satisfied. Tang Zhi naturally saw the interaction between the two. She walked to the sofa and sat down, then picked up Professor Tang¡¯s purple teacup and took a sip. Hmm, the aroma of the tea was strong, and it was sweet and refreshing. It was not bad. ¡°I happen to have something to tell you too.¡± ¡°Baby, what¡¯s the matter?¡± ¡°I have a research project that I have to go out for.¡± Li Wanyi was stunned. ¡°Go out?¡± ¡°Yeah, for about two days.¡± Li Wanyi frowned and looked at her worriedly. She complained, ¡°How can the school arrange for you to go out at this time?¡± Tang Zhi sighed helplessly. ¡°Mom, I¡¯m fine. You don¡¯t have to worry so much.¡± ¡°How are you fine? Even if the marriage is annulled, the grievances you suffered are substantial. If I had known, I would have strongly objected to the engagement back then.¡± The more Li Wanyi thought about it, the more regret she felt. Tang Zhi was silent. The Zhou family wasn¡¯t able to make her suffer.. Chapter 21 - Tang Corps Shares Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Li Wanyi rambled on for a while. ¡°You have to be careful when you¡¯re out. If you need anything, let Aunt Fang prepare it for you.¡± ¡°Bring a few more warm clothes and some commonly used medicine. No, I¡¯ll call your cousin to send them over.¡± With that, Li Wanyi rushed out to make a call. A trace of warmth spread in Tang Zhi¡¯s heart and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. ¡°Xiao Zhi, your mother and I have discussed and decided to give this to you.¡± Tang Shixun handed her a folder with a serious expression. ¡°What is this?¡± ¡°Open it and take a look.¡± Tang Zhi hesitated for a moment before picking up the folder and opening it. Two minutes later, she frowned and looked at Tang Shixun in confusion. ¡°Are these shares of the Tang Corporation?¡± ¡°I know you¡¯ve been wronged this time. No matter how I think about it, there¡¯s nothing I can give you. This is all I have.¡± Tang Shixun said guiltily, ¡°If Dad worked at Tang Corps, they wouldn¡¯t dare to treat you like this.¡± At the very least, they would take more consideration into account. From this perspective, he was selfish. Tang Zhi paused and said, ¡°Why would you think that?¡± Since childhood, her parents doted on her very much. Tang Zhi knew this very well. Tang Shixun was a little tired, not because he thought so, but because it was the truth. All these years in the Tang Family, it wasn¡¯t like he didn¡¯t know anything. ¡°These shares are useless in my hands. If I give them to you, at least your uncle won¡¯t dare to do anything overboard. The document has already been approved by the shareholders. I¡¯ve also said that if you want to work in the company, no one can stop you.¡± After some thought, he added, ¡°Your brother agrees to this decision.¡± Tang Zhi¡¯s heart warmed. After pondering for a long time, under Tang Shixun¡¯s expectant gaze, she slowly picked up the pen and signed her name. She knew that even if she just wanted to appease them, she had to sign this contract. For some reason, she didn¡¯t know whether to laugh or cry. She didn¡¯t know how much Tang Shizong valued Tang Corps¡¯ 20% shares, but when it came to Professor Tang, he casually transferred it to her. After Li Wanyi finished her call, she busied herself for half a day and got Aunt Fang to check carefully. Only then did she feel at ease and pack the things she prepared for Tang Zhi. She could leave tomorrow morning. That night, Tang Qian also came back. After hearing that she was going to Ningjiang County, he only gave her a few reminders and did not say much further. The lights were still on in the study on the second floor. Tang Zhi knocked on the door and saw Tang Qian sitting at the desk while flipping through documents. Seeing her, he put down what he was doing and smiled gently. ¡°Why are you here? Do you have something to say?¡± Tang Zhi muttered to himself for a moment before saying, ¡°I don¡¯t need Tang Corps¡¯ shares. After things die down, I will transfer them to my older brother.¡± Tang Qian was stunned for a moment before he expressed disapproval. ¡°Dad discussed this with me and I agree with him. You¡¯re a girl. With these shares, you won¡¯t be bullied.¡± ¡°Brother, Tang Corps is grandfather¡¯s blood, sweat, and tears. His biggest wish is to hand the Tang Family over to you.¡± At this point, Tang Zhi¡¯s eyes dimmed and gave off a sullen vibe. Tang Qian felt a dull pain in his heart and said with some heartache, ¡°Xiao Zhi, what happened back then wasn¡¯t your fault. You don¡¯t have to blame yourself so much. Before Grandfather passed away, he was most worried about you. After so many years, we should all move past it..¡± Chapter 22 - What Happened In Her Childhood Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Tang Zhi pursed her lips tightly and didn¡¯t say anything. However, she stared at Tang Qian firmly. The siblings confronted each other for a while, but in the end, they could not persuade her and lost. Perhaps no one knew that in front of the famous Deputy Director Tang, as long as Tang Zhi persisted, he had never won. Sometimes, even he could not understand how a little girl who he had watched grow up could have such stubbornness. After they watched her leave and close the door, the study returned to silence. The warm hue of the light distracted him. When Tang Zhi was ten years old, she went out to play with Old Master Tang and was kidnapped. The kidnappers were evil and demanded 100 million yuan as ransom. When the Tang family finally gathered the ransom, only Tang Zhi was saved. No one knew what happened during that period. When they found them, they only saw the scrawny and petite Tang Zhi hugging Old Master Tang, who was covered in blood and sitting motionlessly in the rain. His eyes were vacant and lifeless. His body was cold and his face was so pale that there was no trace of color on it. At that moment, they even thought that Tang Zhi wouldn¡¯t have the will to live anymore. After returning to the Tang family, Tang Zhi didn¡¯t speak for a month. She locked herself in his room and refused to say anything. In the end, Old Madam Tang went in personally and said something before Tang Zhi walked out of the room. As he thought about these past events, Tang Qian¡¯s gaze became a little dazed. Back then, those kidnappers were caught, but the mastermind had yet to be found. ¡­ On an unknown road in the mountainous region of Ningjiang County, Rong University¡¯s convoy was driving unsteadily. Everyone was feeling a little frustrated. Only Tang Zhi was sitting in the last row. She wore a black cap that revealed the lower half of her exquisite and beautiful face. She leaned back against the seat and closed his eyes to rest. She was very quiet. Because the research target was children from the mountainous regions, Rong University specially arranged for the most remote town in Ningjiang County. Before they reached the place, there were already people who couldn¡¯t take it anymore. ¡°Why did the car stop?¡± A commotion came from outside. Tang Zhi slowly opened her eyes and saw Sun Yutong walking over with a worried expression. ¡°It rained a few days ago and the road to town was blocked by a collapsed mountain. The car can¡¯t drive over. I¡¯m afraid we have to walk the rest of the way.¡± ¡°Then let¡¯s go.¡± Tang Zhi picked up the black hiking bag beside her seat and got out of the car in a few steps. Sun Yutong froze for a moment before he followed up and said, ¡°I asked around, and it¡¯ll take about two hours to walk over here. Everyone has brought quite a bit of luggage, so I¡¯m afraid it¡¯ll be very tiring. The teachers and students leading the team are all discussing, and the boys will be responsible for carrying the luggage that the girls can¡¯t carry.¡± ¡°If you have anything, give it to me too. I¡¯ll help you get it.¡± Tang Zhi looked at the backpack behind her. ¡°Thank you, but there¡¯s no need. I don¡¯t have many things so I can take them myself.¡± Yesterday, Madam Li had prepared a lot of things for her, but she only picked out some essentials. ¡°Is that all you brought?¡± Sun Yutong was also a little surprised. Almost all the other girls had brought quite a few things with them. ¡°Yes, it¡¯s enough.¡± Tang Zhi didn¡¯t explain further and walked towards the crowd. The person leading the team this time was a mentor from the psychology department of Rong University. At this moment, he was also a little anxious. ¡°Let¡¯s get moving as soon as we¡¯ve distributed the items. We¡¯ll have to walk for another two hours or it won¡¯t be safe until dark. I have to be responsible for everyone¡¯s safety.¡± Instantly, everyone in the student team felt dejected.. Chapter 23 - Another Family Asset Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Even though the students of Rong University were not pampered, they were still the elites of the laboratory. When had they ever done hard labor in school? However, the current situation gave them no choice. ¡°Senior Brother Sun, why don¡¯t you talk to the people from Team Two? Didn¡¯t they want to cut ties with us in school? They were afraid of us implicating them. Why aren¡¯t they talking when it¡¯s time to take the luggage? They have too much luggage. We¡¯re the ones who are at a disadvantage.¡± A boy with a short hair crew cut came up and complained. He looked rather dissatisfied. Senior Brother Sun smiled and said gently, ¡°We¡¯re all classmates from the same faculty, so you can¡¯t fuss over this.¡± ¡°That wasn¡¯t what they said during Professor Zhang¡¯s meeting.¡± He mumbled and even glanced at Tang Zhi cautiously. Tang Zhi recognized him. This person even spoke up for her at the psychology department meeting yesterday. ¡°Hello, my name is Zhao Qiao.¡± Tang Zhi smiled at him. ¡°Hello, Senior Brother Zhao.¡± Zhao Qiao hurriedly said, ¡°Hello, Junior Sister. We¡¯ve long heard of you in the laboratory.¡± They were all students under Professor Zhang, so they naturally knew that the professor had taken in a disciple. However, they did not know who the professor accepted. They did not expect to see her in person at this school event. ¡°If you have any luggage, I can help you carry it. In any case, since we have to carry things no matter what, we can¡¯t let others take advantage of us.¡± ¡°Thanks, but I can get it myself.¡± Zhao Qiao looked at the neat and tidy black mountaineering bag behind her and was stunned. ¡°You really have foresight.¡± Tang Zhi smiled lightly and didn¡¯t speak. It was difficult to walk on the mountain road. Rong University¡¯s students walked and stopped along the way, which took three hours. They finally reached the town before the sky darkened. Everyone was exhausted. When they arrived at the guest house, they went straight to their rooms to rest. They did not want to say anything else. ¡°You look much more relaxed than us.¡± Zhao Qiao panted as he threw his luggage to the side and collapsed on the chair in the guesthouse. He looked at Tang Zhi and gave her a thumbs up. Tang Zhi simply replied, ¡°I don¡¯t have many things.¡± Sun Yutong waved his hand at Zhao Qiao. ¡°Alright, hurry up and go back to rest. We won¡¯t be organizing any activities today. We will be going for a visit tomorrow. Tang Zhi, follow me.¡± Tang Zhi nodded. ¡°Okay.¡± With that, she picked up her backpack and walked towards the room he had arranged for her. There were a total of five girls at Rong University. Two of them shared a room and they were all connected. Room 301. Tang Zhi found the room. In the room, there was only a simple bunk bed, a table, a chair, and a double wooden cabinet. The living conditions in the town were very rudimentary. Tang Zhi didn¡¯t feel uncomfortable at all. She placed her backpack on the table and dragged out a chair to sit down. She took out her phone and dialed a number. Very quickly, the call was picked up and a lazy voice sounded. ¡°You finally remembered to call me? I thought you were so busy that you forgot you had this family business.¡± Tang Zhi was silent for a moment. ¡°Don¡¯t I still have you?¡± The person on the other end laughed. ¡°Fine, I deserve to work my ass off for you, don¡¯t I?¡± ¡°The family is in chaos. When do you plan to take action again?¡± Tang Zhi rubbed her eyebrows. In chaos? What did GK have anything to do with this? If this were to spread, who knew how many people would roll their eyes. ¡°Send me a copy of the project information Huanyu Corporation has..¡± Chapter 24 - The Person Behind the Door Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Continent M, New City, the tallest building on the financial street. A man stood in front of the French window. His hapa face was extremely handsome. He had one hand on the glass window and the other was holding a phone to his ear as he spoke casually. Suddenly, he heard something. He instantly straightened up from his lazy and casual body. ¡°Are you serious?¡± ¡°Or else?¡± Tang Zhi felt that her words weren¡¯t shocking enough, so she added, ¡°I will personally follow up on this matter. Send Shang Xin over.¡± There was a long silence on the other end of the line. Since he didn¡¯t say anything, Tang Zhi hung up. At the GK headquarters in Continent M, the man¡¯s expression changed. After a long while, he finally said, ¡°Shit!¡± The secretary pushed the door open. ¡°CEO Xi, what¡¯s the matter?¡± Xi Mu said in a low voice, ¡°Inform everyone to hold the highest-level emergency meeting. Everyone must be present.¡± The secretary was taken aback, then quickly agreed and left to make arrangements. All of a sudden, GK¡¯s headquarters descended into chaos. ¡­ After Tang Zhi ended her call with Xi Mu, someone knocked on the door. She got up and opened the door. Sun Yutong stood at the door and said with a smile, ¡°Are you done packing yet? Do you want to eat together?¡± Tang Zhi also felt a little hungry, so she nodded. ¡°Okay.¡± ¡°Everyone is tired today, so we didn¡¯t organize a gathering. We¡¯ll just eat something in the canteen downstairs. If you don¡¯t want to, we¡¯ll go out to eat.¡± ¡°No need, let¡¯s just eat in the canteen.¡± ¡°Alright then.¡± When she arrived at the canteen with Sun Yu, the rest of Rong University were also there. ¡°Over here!¡± Zhao Qiao greeted them warmly when he saw them. Sun Yutong smiled and walked over with Tang Zhi. Zhao Qiao had an outgoing personality and said enthusiastically, ¡°Are you used to living alone? Won¡¯t you get scared?¡± It couldn¡¯t be helped. Tang Zhi was the only girl who came to their laboratory this time. The other four girls were in the second group and had already divided their rooms, leaving Tang Zhi alone. Tang Zhi was unfamiliar with this place and was young. He was also a little worried. ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± Tang Zhi didn¡¯t have any objections and felt more comfortable living alone. Sun Yutong was also a little worried. ¡°We¡¯ll stay downstairs. If you need anything, come find us directly.¡± ¡°Alright, thank you.¡± Tang Zhi smiled back and started eating quietly. The food in the canteen was very ordinary, but it was not bad. During this time, Zhao Qiao was the one talking and the atmosphere was not awkward. After the meal, Tang Zhi and Sun Yu parted ways with them. They didn¡¯t return to their rooms directly but went downstairs to the courtyard of the hostel. Unlike Rong City, this place was very quiet. The flowers and plants in the courtyard were not meticulously trimmed. Instead, they were directly transplanted from the wilderness. They were casual but not messy. There was a red-painted wooden door in the corner behind them. Tang Zhi took a couple of glances and retracted her gaze. The next moment, there were a few shuffling footsteps behind the door. Tang Zhi froze and was about to get up when she heard an impatient voice from behind her. ¡°Why are you here?¡± Bai Qing looked at Tang Zhi with dissatisfaction. ¡°It¡¯s remote and unsafe here. Don¡¯t walk around at night if you have nothing to do. It¡¯s everyone¡¯s responsibility if anything happens.¡± Tang Zhi said nonchalantly, ¡°I understand.¡± ¡°Hurry back to your room.¡± Bai Qing said impatiently before leaving in a hurry. Behind the door, the footsteps seemed to have stopped. Tang Zhi¡¯s heart sank.. Chapter 25 - Hes Here Too Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations She had been discovered. Tang Zhi stared at that door with an inexplicable expression. As expected, the door was pushed open halfway. But when she saw the person behind the door, Tang Zhi was stunned. ¡°Miss Tang, why are you here?¡± Yun Hai, who was originally tensed up, was also very astonished when he saw Tang Zhi. Tang Zhi pursed her lips and glanced behind him. There was no one else. But she had clearly heard footsteps from more than five people. From the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of the dark red color on Yun Hai¡¯s hand and froze. Tang Zhi was silent and only looked up after a while. ¡°Vice President Yun, you¡¯re staying inside? Is it convenient for me to go in and take a look?¡± Yun Hai¡¯s expression changed. ¡°Miss Tang¡­¡± ¡°Let her in.¡± A low and magnetic voice came from behind the wall. Tang Zhi¡¯s heart instantly skipped a beat. Upon hearing He Chen¡¯s words, Yun Hai was even more shocked than when he saw Tang Zhi here. She calmed herself down and said, ¡°Miss Tang, please go ahead.¡± Tang Zhi didn¡¯t hesitate and stepped in. The moment she entered, she saw the man sitting at the stone table. The man was wearing a black shirt. His sleeves were half rolled up, revealing a part of his wrist. His legs were crossed in front of him and his gaze was sharp and soulful. Tang Zhi paused and went up to greet him. ¡°Master Chen.¡± Yun Hai¡¯s mouth was slightly agape as he thought to himself, Miss Tang was really smart. He Chen raised his head slightly and looked at her. ¡°You saw everything?¡± Tang Zhi pondered for a moment and nodded. ¡°Yes.¡± He Chen narrowed his eyes and glanced at Yun Hai. He said indifferently, ¡°Go wash yourself clean before coming back.¡± Yun Hai followed his line of sight and saw the bloodstains on his hands. His heart skipped a beat and he hurriedly left. There were only two people left in the courtyard. Tang Zhi felt baffled. He Chen glanced at her. ¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid?¡± ¡°Would Master Chen harm me?¡± He Chen tilted his head and looked at her meaningfully. After a while, he said in a deep voice, ¡°No.¡± The corners of Tang Zhi¡¯s mouth curled up, as though she was very satisfied with his answer. ¡°Then why should I be afraid?¡± After a round of questions, the courtyard became quiet. Before long, Yun Hai returned. He changed into a clean set of clothes and the marks on his hands disappeared. Tang Zhi seemed contemplative as she turned her head. ¡°Is there something for you to attend to here, Master Chen?¡± He Chen replied calmly, ¡°Yes.¡± After hesitating for a moment, Tang Zhi still didn¡¯t ask if he needed help. ¡°I¡¯m looking for someone,¡± He Chen suddenly added. Tang Zhi¡¯s originally slightly crestfallen mood instantly brightened and the corners of her mouth couldn¡¯t help but curl up into a smirk. Yun Hai was stunned. Master Chen actually took the initiative to tell Miss Tang about their affairs? He must have misheard. ¡°Have you found the person that Master Chen is looking for?¡± ¡°No, but soon.¡± ¡°Is there danger?¡± ¡°Not really.¡± ¡°That¡¯s good¡­¡± The conversation between the two was casual and harmonious. It wasn¡¯t until Tang Zhi stood up to bid farewell that Yun Hai recovered from his shock. ¡°Master Chen, you told Miss Tang about us¡­¡± He Chen glanced at him. ¡°Is there a problem?¡± Yun Hai shuddered. ¡°No, no.¡± He didn¡¯t dare to ask any questions. He was just curious why Master Chen was so¡­ friendly towards Miss Tang. ¡°After staying in Huanyu for so long, your vigilance has already dropped to this level?¡± Yun Hai¡¯s body went rigid. He immediately said seriously, ¡°I was careless. Please punish me, Master Chen.¡± He actually let Miss Tang see the bloodstains on his body. As one of the four pavilion masters, this was a very low-level and serious mistake. ¡°Yes, go back and receive your punishment.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Yun Hai didn¡¯t dare to slack off.. Chapter 26 - The Old Principal Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations The next morning, Tang Zhi went down to the canteen for breakfast with her backpack on. Sun Yutong had already arrived. Upon seeing her, he greeted, ¡°Over here.¡± Tang Zhi straightened her clothes and walked over. ¡°Good morning.¡± When she spoke, she realized that her voice was a little hoarse. Sun Yutong looked at her. ¡°You didn¡¯t rest well last night? But the conditions here aren¡¯t as good as in Rong City, so everyone is a bit unused to it.¡± Well, she did not sleep well last night, but not because of that. ¡°I¡¯m fine. We¡¯re going to the public welfare primary school later, right?¡± Sun Yutong nodded. ¡°Yes, we¡¯ve contacted the school. The situation here is suitable for everyone to do research.¡± ¡°Alright, I understand.¡± Tang Zhi drank a mouthful of hot porridge to moisten her throat. She quickly finished the simple breakfast. Seeing that Sun Yutong¡¯s bowl was empty, she slung her backpack over her right shoulder. He stood up and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go then.¡± The public welfare primary school in the town wasn¡¯t far from the hostel. Tang Zhi and Sun Yutong arrived very quickly. They were probably already given a heads up, so after Sun Yutong explained their intentions, they were welcomed inside. It was a two-story school building with two short houses next to it. The cement field was the size of a basketball court. At both ends of the field were two basketball hoops. It wasn¡¯t much, but it wasn¡¯t shabby either. ¡°Thank you for coming all the way here. Thanks to everyone¡¯s help these past two years, the children were able to learn without impediment.¡± In the office, the fifty-year-old principal shook hands with them gratefully. Tang Zhi saw the sincerity in his eyes. She casually glanced at the office. It was very simple. The desk was filled with homework and textbooks. It was a little messy but very real. ¡°You¡¯re too courteous. We¡¯re just students. We came with the school to take a look. We¡¯re not the ones who are really helping these children. The warm-hearted civilians are the ones.¡± Sun Yutong felt a little embarrassed. ¡°I know, I know. Are you students from the psychology department of Rong University?¡± The principal suddenly felt a little emotional. Sun Yutong nodded. ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°Rong University¡­¡± The old principal¡¯s gaze appeared dazed as if he was reminiscing something.¡± It¡¯s been so many years.¡± Tang Zhi suddenly asked, ¡°You also graduated from Rong University?¡± The old principal came back to his senses and shook his head. ¡°It¡¯s all in the past.¡± Sun Yutong was a little shocked. He didn¡¯t expect that the principal of a school in a small town like this also graduated from Rong University. The old principal said, ¡°You weren¡¯t the only ones who called yesterday. There are others who haven¡¯t arrived yet. Are you waiting for them to come along or are you going to visit the children first?¡± Sun Yutong understood that they were probably from Team Two. This public welfare primary school was in town and there were many students. He was not surprised that Team Two chose this place. After thinking for a while, he said, ¡°Then let¡¯s wait for them. The school still has classes, so it¡¯s not good for us to disturb them too many times.¡± The old principal smiled and replied, ¡°Okay, okay.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t have anything here to entertain you young people with. These wild tea leaves were picked by the children on the mountain. Try them.¡± The old principal took a packet of old tea leaves wrapped in oiled paper from the cupboard, brewed it himself, and handed it to the two. Tang Zhi took the tea and thanked him. The tea tasted a little bitter in her mouth and the taste was very strong. It wasn¡¯t something she liked, but she still finished it without showing her distaste. When the old principal saw this, he smiled warmly and said, ¡°Are you not used to it?¡± ¡°When I first came here, I wasn¡¯t used to drinking it either. But after drinking it for decades, I can¡¯t drink any other tea now.¡± ¡°Habits are scary..¡± Chapter 27 - Innocent Heart Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations The old principal was very talkative. Most of the time, it was Sun Yutong who answered. Before long, Team Two arrived. Bai Qing walked in front, followed by a male and female student, as well as two reporters. Tang Zhi only raised her eyes and quickly retracted them. When Bai Qing saw Tang Zhi, a trace of disdain flashed past her eyes. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect Senior Brother Sun to personally lead a newcomer. How biased. After all, not everyone has such luck.¡± The two people who came with her knew that Bai Qing and this newbie underclassman were at odds, so they pretended not to hear anything to avoid being implicated. Sun Yutong did not respond. He stood up and said, ¡°Principal, since everyone is here, let¡¯s go over there.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± The old principal, still smiling kindly, nodded. Bai Qing¡¯s face fell when she was ignored. She turned to look at the two reporters behind her and said apologetically, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I didn¡¯t know that there would be a newbie participating in this project.¡± The two reporters looked at each other in dismay. As news reporters, they were the most sensitive to such matters. They could immediately tell that there seemed to be a dispute between the people that Rong University sent out this time. One of them smiled and said, ¡°The psychology project at Rong University has already received a lot of attention. Furthermore, it¡¯s a public service project. Many people in the outside world are waiting to see the news this time. Sending newbies to participate is indeed quite risky.¡± Furthermore, many people did not know that the public welfare of Ningjiang County was mostly related to Huanyu Corporation. All news related to Huanyu Corporation, the number one conglomerate in Rong City, were very valuable. If they could dig out something, this trip would not have been in vain. Bai Qing smiled. ¡°But even though she is young, she is still Professor Zhang¡¯s beloved disciple. She is also quite competent.¡± The reporter¡¯s eyes lit up. There was indeed something fishy! ¡°I heard that you are also one of the best in Rong University¡¯s psychology department and has a high level of professionalism. We will have to trouble you to answer our questions later. Don¡¯t worry, we will report the truth on the news.¡± ¡°Reporter Zhao, you¡¯re too polite. This is what we should do.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go over first. Don¡¯t let the principal and the children wait too long.¡± Because there was a public service announcement to be made, Rong University wanted to give a lecture on mental health. Sun Yutong had already prepared for it last night and calmly walked up to the podium. Tang Zhi found a corner in the last row and sat down. She leaned against the table and listened to Sun Yutong¡¯s speech. It was all simple and clear common sense questions. The children here listened very attentively. All of them sat up straight and placed their hands on the table properly. What a naive and innocent age. Tang Zhi smirked. She suddenly understood why this public service was called ¡®Innocent Heart¡¯. This name was really fitting. Sun Yutong didn¡¯t speak for long before it ended, and it was Bai Qing¡¯s turn to go up. ¡°They¡¯re all basic knowledge. If you don¡¯t like them, you don¡¯t have to listen.¡± ¡°You must have specially designed it, right?¡± ¡°You saw through it.¡± Sun Yutong said with a smile, ¡°These children are still young. They wouldn¡¯t understand something too boring.¡± Hence, he changed his script last night and tried his best to make it sound more interesting. ¡°The effect is good.¡± Tang Zhi glanced at the front. Clearly, Bai Qing¡¯s speech was not as effective as Sun Yutong¡¯s. After listening for a while, Sun Yutong shook his head and said in a low voice, ¡°Bai Qing¡¯s explanation is a bit too profound.¡± Tang Zhi glanced at the two reporters who were taking photos of Bai Qing seriously and said in an amused tone, ¡°Yeah, it just happens to show off her professional standards..¡± Chapter 28 - Cooperating with Huanyu Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Sun Yutong froze. Following her line of sight, he saw the two reporters frowning slightly and their expressions were also becoming cold. Bai Qing¡¯s intentions were too obvious. ¡°I think there¡¯s still some time before the lecture. If you¡¯re bored, go out for a walk. I¡¯ll call you when it¡¯s over.¡± Tang Zhi fell silent for a moment and stood up. ¡°Then I¡¯ll have to trouble you.¡± Sitting here was indeed a waste of time. Sun Yutong smiled and said, ¡°It¡¯s no trouble at all. Hurry up and go.¡± He realized that she had a laid-back personality and did not like to spend time on trivial matters. No wonder her teacher had mentioned several times that she was unwilling to enter the laboratory. Tang Zhi walked out of the classroom and went down to the flower bed. She leaned against a tree trunk and looked down at her phone. She did not pick up Xi Mu¡¯s call just now. She called back and placed the phone to her ear. Someone quickly picked up the phone. ¡°Damn, you¡¯re really treating me like a laborer. Do you know how busy GK¡¯s headquarters is because of you?¡± ¡°You¡¯re the person in charge of GK, so isn¡¯t it normal for you to be busy?¡± ¡°As the person in charge, am I not working for you?¡± Tang Zhi rubbed her brows. ¡°If you have something to say, just say it.¡± Xi Mu felt choked. ¡°Shang Xin will be in Rong City tomorrow. GK has a branch there. I¡¯m afraid you don¡¯t even know where your office is.¡± Tang Zhi was silent for a moment. ¡°Send me the address later.¡± Xi Mu gritted his teeth and spat out, ¡°F*ck!¡± She really didn¡¯t know! Xi Mu tried his best to suppress his anger. ¡°I¡¯ve received news that Huanyu Investment Department is going to replace the person in charge. The identity of the replacement is unknown, so I need you and Shang Xin to coordinate it.¡± Change the person in charge? Tang Zhi raised her eyebrows slightly. ¡°Okay, I got it.¡± ¡°The boss of Huanyu is not easy to deal with. You better be careful when dealing with him. Initially, I wanted to do a background check on him, but he turned out to have an even cleaner record than mine! This isn¡¯t something ordinary people can do.¡± Tang Zhi smirked. ¡°It¡¯s normal to have a cleaner record than you.¡± ¡°Motherf*cker¡­¡± Xi Mu gritted his teeth.¡± You¡¯ve grown too big for your britches recently, haven¡¯t you? I must have been out of my mind to be worried about you, you scheming fox. ¡° ¡°I¡¯m hanging up. If there¡¯s anything, go deal with it yourself.¡± Tang Zhi put down her phone and narrowed her eyes. She looked at the quiet field in a pleasant mood. GK couldn¡¯t find any information on He Chen? Even though Xi Mu did not have a good temper, as the boss of Continent M¡¯s top venture capital company, he could be considered a big shot. His network and connections were far beyond that of ordinary people. Huanyu Corporation was far more complicated than it appeared on the surface. Tang Zhi casually fiddled with her phone with a pensive look on her face. After a while, Sun Yutong called. Tang Zhi then got up and walked towards the classroom unhurriedly. When she arrived, Bai Qing had already led a group of people to another classroom. The two reporters had also followed them. The next step was to communicate with the children and understand their mental health conditions. It could be seen that after Sun Yutong put in some effort, the questions and interactions he prepared were all very suitable. In comparison, Tang Zhi seemed to be very idle. However, the problems she occasionally pointed out made Sun Yutong look at her in a different light and secretly surprised him. No wonder the teacher insisted on letting her enter the laboratory. Some people were destined to have extraordinary talent. She might be such a person. After a while, they were finally done.. Chapter 29 - Ill Bring You There Next Time Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations It was already evening when they returned to the guest house. Tang Zhi parted ways with Sun Yutong after eating in the canteen and walked to the courtyard alone. After some hesitation, she went forward and gently knocked on the red-painted wooden door in the corner. ¡°Miss Tang.¡± When Yun Hai opened the door and saw Tang Zhi, he was both surprised, but then felt that it made sense. After all, other than Miss Tang, no one knew they were here. Therefore, his expression was very weird. Tang Zhi glanced at him. ¡°Is Master Chen inside?¡± ¡°Yes, Miss Tang. Please come in.¡± Yun Hai moved aside quietly. Tang Zhi didn¡¯t hesitate and walked in. In the courtyard, He Chen sat on a stone chair under the pavilion with his side facing her. It was too dark last night, so he didn¡¯t take a closer look. Only now did he realize that this courtyard had been renovated quite well. It was a stark contrast with the humble and crude environment of the town. It looked like a place specially for resting. Wasn¡¯t this his first time here? Tang Zhi pushed aside those messy thoughts and retracted her gaze. She walked to He Chen and greeted, ¡°Master Chen.¡± He Chen pointed at the stone chair opposite him and said in a deep voice, ¡°Sit.¡± Tang Zhi hesitated slightly before sitting down calmly. ¡°Have you eaten dinner?¡± Tang Zhi was silent for two seconds before saying decisively, ¡°Not yet.¡± She had actually just had dinner. ¡°What do you like to eat?¡± ¡°Spicy Stewed Fish.¡± He Chen looked at Yun Hai. ¡°Heard that?¡± Yun Hai said, ¡°I¡¯ll get the kitchen staff to prepare.¡± What the heck. Master Chen actually had this side to him? Tang Zhi looked at the cold and masculine man in front of her and fell into a dilemma. She couldn¡¯t help but frown. He Chen glanced at her. ¡°Do you have something to ask?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Tang Zhi nodded and said hesitantly, ¡°Has Master Chen seen me before?¡± Otherwise, wasn¡¯t his attitude a little too friendly? Tang Zhi never thought that He Chen would be someone easy to get close to. His imposing aura couldn¡¯t fool anyone. He Chen¡¯s gaze darkened. He leaned forward and flicked the cigarette ash in his hand. ¡°Yes, I have.¡± Tang Zhi was surprised, but also felt that this answer was reasonable. But where had he seen her before? Why didn¡¯t she know? For some reason, she felt frustrated. It was a pity. He Chen didn¡¯t intend to tell her. He just smiled. After a while, Yun Hai returned with a chef carrying a pot of stewed fish. ¡°Coincidentally, they bought fish today. Otherwise, Miss Tang would have to wait for a long time.¡± At this hour, it was not easy to buy fish at the market. Tang Zhi stared at the large pot of spicy stewed fish in front of her and sat up slightly. It was very fragrant. She picked up a piece and put it into her mouth. The fish meat was very tender and tasted quite delicious. ¡°The chef that Master Chen hired isn¡¯t bad.¡± ¡°You like it?¡± Tang Zhi nodded. ¡°Yes.¡± She didn¡¯t just like the chef. He Chen smiled. ¡°He learned culinary in Li Garden.¡± Li Garden. Tang Zhi thought of the restaurant that this name represented and instantly no longer had any doubts. Rong City¡¯s top private restaurant was not a place that ordinary people could enter. The chefs there were naturally top-notch. It seemed like the last time she saw him in Rong City was at the entrance of Li Garden. ¡°You want to go there?¡± He Chen picked up a piece of fish and placed it in his bowl. Tang Zhi nodded decisively. It was even better than the restaurant Qin Jiayin brought her to last time. ¡°I¡¯ll bring you there next time.¡± Next time¡­ It was still the same magnetic and deep voice, but Tang Zhi found it more pleasant than ever. She smiled slightly, and the corners of her eyes carried mirth that she could not suppress. She was like a satiated cat, lazy but happy at the same time. ¡°Okay!¡± Tang Zhi answered in a very lighthearted tone.. Chapter 30 - Yun Hais Invitation Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Ten minutes later, Tang Zhi put down her chopsticks. He Chen glanced at her and said in a low voice, ¡°Are you full?¡± ¡°Yeah.¡± She was not full, but she was already full in the first place. He Chen sped up his eating speed and finished it in less than five minutes. Soon, someone came in and took the food away. Tang Zhi watched silently. She really didn¡¯t hear wrongly last night. There were no less than five people who came with He Chen. Before he left, a thought flashed across Yun Hai¡¯s mind. He asked, ¡°When is Miss Tang returning to Rong City?¡± ¡°Tomorrow afternoon. We still need to wrap things up here.¡± Of course, with Sun Yu around, this basically had nothing to do with her, but she couldn¡¯t leave early. ¡°Tomorrow¡­¡± Yun Yun stole a glance at the boss and said enthusiastically,¡± We¡¯re going back to Rong City tomorrow. Miss Tang, do you want to come along? ¡° Tang Zhi stopped in her tracks and her gaze stopped on the figure behind Yun Hai. He Chen held onto the stone chair with a calm expression. He didn¡¯t say anything when he heard Yun Hai. ¡°I don¡¯t know if it¡¯ll bother you.¡± ¡°It won¡¯t. It won¡¯t disturb us.¡± Yun Hai hurriedly waved his hand and happily said, ¡°Miss Tang is Master Chen¡¯s friend, so how could you disturb us?¡± Friend? Tang Zhi pursed her lips. ¡°Then I¡¯ll have to trouble Vice President Yun.¡± ¡°It¡¯s no trouble, Miss Tang.¡± After sending Tang Zhi away, Yun Hai couldn¡¯t help but sneak a glance at his boss and said cautiously, ¡°Master Chen, is it okay for me to say this?¡± He Chen looked up at him and asked in a deep voice, ¡°Are you two close?¡± Yun Hai felt an inexplicable sense of danger and hurriedly said, ¡°How could I be familiar with Miss Tang? I just saw that you¡¯re very familiar with Miss Tang.¡± Besides, he didn¡¯t stop him just now. Although he was menacing, with his sharp intuition, he seemed to have accidentally discovered something big. Thinking about it, he was a little excited. He Chen raised his eyebrows. Familiar? Was he? ¡­ Tang Zhi returned to her room and kicked the chair. She laid on the bed with her clothes on and stared blankly at the white wall above her. Now that she had calmed down, her heart fluttered even more obviously. She had never felt this way before. It was very novel and strange, but she was in a good mood and felt relaxed. ¡°Are you there?¡± Someone knocked on the door. Tang Zhi came back to her senses and got off the bed. When she opened the door, she saw Sun Yutong standing neatly dressed outside. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± ¡°It¡¯s good that you haven¡¯t slept. Otherwise, I¡¯ll be disturbing your rest.¡± Sun Yutong smiled and said, ¡°We¡¯re going back tomorrow. After some discussion, we decided to hold a seminar tonight. I came over to tell you.¡± Tang Zhi stopped in her tracks. ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll go with you.¡± With that said, she turned around and returned to her room to pick up her phone and room keys before leaving with Sun Yu. ¡°I¡¯ve already sent you the information I¡¯ve compiled today. If you¡¯re free, you can take a look.¡± ¡°Thank you, I¡¯ll write the research report.¡± Tang Zhi considered it and decided not to let Sun Yu do all the work alone. Otherwise, it would be too unkind. Sun Yutong froze. ¡°If you find this troublesome, you don¡¯t need to force yourself.¡± He knew that she was laid-back and casual. Even the teacher could not persuade her to work in the laboratory. ¡°It¡¯s no trouble,¡± Tang Zhi replied nonchalantly. She did not like to do burdensome things like these, but it did not mean that she didn¡¯t know how to. As they chatted, they soon arrived at the conference room. The reception area was simple and crude. Although it was called a meeting room, it was actually just a room that had been renovated. There was an old wooden table in the middle and a dozen chairs. It was crowded when there were more people.. Chapter 31 - Problems Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Tang Zhi found a seat and sat down while quietly listening to everyone¡¯s report. Today, they split into two groups and went to different places, so everyone¡¯s experience was different. Zhao Qiao didn¡¯t seem like his usual cheerful self. He seemed out of it. Sun Yutong noticed his abnormality and asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Zhao Qiao regained his senses and forced a smile. ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± ¡°How can he be fine?¡± A classmate beside him could not help but say, ¡°He was assigned to a village today and is feeling upset.¡± ¡°That child has quite some mental problems.¡± ¡°There¡¯s nothing mentally wrong with him!¡± Unexpectedly, Zhao Qiao suddenly said and reacted quite strongly. ¡°Okay, okay, okay. If you say he¡¯s okay, then he¡¯s okay.¡± Zhao Qiao endured it and pursed his lips, swallowing the words he was about to say. Sun Yutong frowned and was about to speak when he was interrupted. ¡°We¡¯re all from the University of Rong¡¯s psychology department. Why can¡¯t we talk about it and solve it together? Zhao Qiao, we know about the child you¡¯re in charge of. Due to her family¡¯s difficulties, she can¡¯t continue to study. She¡¯s under a lot of stress, causing her to suffer from a mental disorder. She even has slight self-harm tendencies, right?¡± Bai Qing was sitting opposite them. Her voice was not soft and everyone looked at Zhao Qiao. ¡°I told you. He¡¯s not mentally ill,¡± Zhao Qiao said with a sullen look on his face. ¡°Zhao Qiao, you are a graduate student of the psychology department. You should understand what these actions mean. I can understand that you are unwilling to admit it because of sympathy, but this is too unprofessional.¡± Bai Qing raised her neck and said proudly, ¡°Besides, we can only solve the problem when we face it. Don¡¯t forget that there are reporters from Rong City Evening News with us. As long as they¡¯re willing to publicize this matter, someone will help.¡± ¡°But, the reporters from the news agency are willing to help? Rong City Evening News is a famous newspaper agency in Rong City, right? I heard that their front page is very valuable. They are willing to report this on account of the school¡¯s reputation. What they want is big news. How can they report on a single person?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll tell them,¡± Bai Qing said confidently. The girl beside her immediately echoed, ¡°Yeah, Bai Qing has a good relationship with those two reporters. If she asks, it will definitely work.¡± Immediately, everyone looked at Bai Qing differently. Bai Qing said in embarrassment, ¡°I¡¯m only going to say a few words. I¡¯m not sure if they¡¯re willing to agree.¡± ¡°There¡¯s definitely no problem! I think those two reporters have a good impression of you. Almost all of them were reporting about her today.¡± ¡°What¡¯s so strange about that? Bai Qing is the school belle of Rong University¡¯s psychology department. She¡¯s also very professional. Don¡¯t news agencies like to report on such people?¡± ¡°That¡¯s true. Sigh, in this world where looks are everything¡­ I¡¯m clearly quite handsome too, why didn¡¯t they take more photos of me?¡± ¡°You? Come on. Get a look in the mirror.¡± The room wasn¡¯t large, so when Bai Qing heard everyone¡¯s discussion, she became even more pleased. ¡°I¡¯ll call them right now.¡± Then, she picked up her phone and dialed a number. Ten minutes later, there was a knock on the door. ¡°It¡¯s them. I¡¯ll go open the door.¡± Bai Qing smiled and stood up. After exchanging greetings with the crowd and understanding the situation, one of the reporters pondered for a moment before saying, ¡°It¡¯s not a problem for us to report it, but Ningjiang County is a little special..¡± Chapter 32 - Knowing Vice President Yun Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Seeing that everyone was puzzled, Reporter Zhao smiled and said, ¡°This isn¡¯t a secret. Most of the public welfare activities in Ningjiang County are handled by Huanyu Corporation. If you can find someone from Huanyu Corporation, not only will this matter be resolved, but it will also benefit everyone.¡± Tang Zhi, who was about to send a message, paused. In the chat box, Li Jingcheng saw that she did not reply and started to ask. Li Jingcheng: What is it? Tang Zhi: It¡¯s alright now. Li Jingcheng:??? Tang Zhi exited the chat and opened another profile picture. Her profile picture was a very ugly green frog. When she saw the friend request this afternoon, she couldn¡¯t help but tug her lips. Tang Zhi: ¡°Yes?¡± The other party replied quickly: Miss Tang, what¡¯s the matter? Tang Zhi: Huanyu Corporation did a lot of public service in Ningjiang County? Yun Hai was stunned when he saw the message. He secretly glanced at his boss, who was in the middle of a video conference, and walked out of the room. He closed the door and continued to reply, ¡°Yes, this is something that his subordinates did. If Miss Tang needs help, just let me know.¡± He remembered that Huanyu Corporation was the one who sponsored the ¡®Innocent Heart¡¯ project that the Rong University was collaborating on. Tang Zhi: Yes, I need help with something. She briefly explained what had happened. Yun Hai replied quickly, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Miss Tang. This is just a small matter. Huanyu is doing it anyway.¡± Tang Zhi put away her phone and leaned against the back of her chair. She watched as a heated discussion started in the room after they heard Huanyu Corporation¡¯s name. Some people did not know, but those who knew were very excited. Some people calmed down as well. ¡°But that¡¯s Huanyu Corporation. Who can contact their people?¡± Bai Qing gritted her teeth and said, ¡°Well, I have an uncle who¡¯s a mid-level executive of Huanyu Corporation. I¡¯ll ask him. But my uncle has always been very busy, so I don¡¯t know when he¡¯ll see the message.¡± She did not expect that the public welfare of Ningjiang County was related to Huanyu Corporation. Reporter Zhao became even more polite. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect Classmate Bai to have such connections.¡± A mid-level executive of Huanyu Corporation was also very impressive. Reporter Zhao was about to continue speaking when his phone suddenly rang. Half a minute later, he hung up the phone in shock. Bai Qing saw that there was something off with his reaction and quickly asked, ¡°Mr. Zhao, what¡¯s wrong?¡± She had agreed to this matter in front of all her classmates. If she could not fulfill it in the end, she would be humiliated. Reporter Zhao looked at her deeply and said, ¡°Vice President Yun of Huanyu Corporation called me just now. He said that he will personally help the child Zhao Qiao mentioned.¡± He was extremely astonished. How did Vice President Yun know about this when he just heard it from the students of Rong University? Unless someone had just told Vice President Yun about it. Those with status in Rong City all knew that Yun Hai was Master Chen¡¯s trusted aide, and the second-in-command of Huanyu. If someone had ties with him, then¡­ When he thought of this, he put away his casual demeanor and adjusted his attitude. He looked at Bai Qing and said, ¡°This time, you have really helped us a lot.¡± Bai Qing paused and looked at the message that had no reply on her phone. Her smile froze. ¡°Reporter Zhao, you¡¯re too polite. I didn¡¯t do anything.¡± However, to others, these words sounded even more humble. Tang Zhi lazily raised her eyes to look at Bai Qing, but quickly retracted her gaze. She didn¡¯t say a word from the start to the end.. Chapter 33 - Stealing the limelight Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Anyone could sponsor a child. But since it was Huanyu¡¯s territory, there was no need for Li Jingcheng to interfere. ¡°This is all thanks to Ms. Bai. I suggest that Ms. Bai be responsible for the child¡¯s psychological counseling in the future.¡± Reporter Zhao¡¯s attitude toward Bai Qing changed drastically. ¡°This¡­¡± Bai Qing said embarrassedly,¡± Zhao Qiao was the one in charge. I don¡¯t think it¡¯s a good idea to leave it to me. ¡° On the other side, Reporter Zhao quickly took over the conversation. He smiled and said, ¡°No matter what, our goal is to truly help that child. Ms. Bai has a close relationship with Vice President Yun of Huanyu Corporation. Only by participating in this matter can we help him better. I¡¯m sure Mr. Zhao won¡¯t mind.¡± ¡°Besides, Rong City Evening News will continue to track this matter. It will definitely attract a lot of attention in the future. I think Ms. Bai is more suitable to be in charge.¡± Bai Qing looked at Zhao Qiao awkwardly and said, ¡°Zhao Qiao, if you still want to take responsibility, I won¡¯t fight with you.¡± Zhao Qiao had been keeping his head lowered from the beginning. He didn¡¯t say anything. When he heard Bai Qing¡¯s words, he finally looked up and tried to look calm. ¡°I have no objections.¡± Tang Zhi glanced at his clenched fists under the table and pursed her lips. ¡°Hahaha, Miss Bai, you don¡¯t have to stand on ceremony anymore since Mr. Zhao has agreed.¡± In the end, Bai Qing reluctantly agreed. The crowd dispersed, leaving only a few people who were close to Zhao Qiao and Sun Yutong. Everyone looked at Zhao Qiao while feeling a little upset. Finally, someone couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Zhao Qiao, if you¡¯re unhappy, just say it.¡± ¡°He was clearly assigned to you, yet they snatched it away just like that. What do they take you for?¡± ¡°Exactly¡­¡± ¡°Alright, why are you all looking at me? Isn¡¯t it just a research project?¡± Zhao Qiao squeezed out a smile and said, ¡°No matter what, helping Xiao Jun is the most important. Do you think that I, Zhao Qiao, am not magnanimous enough?¡± Everyone quietened down. There were some things that they did not say. Besides, what was the point of saying it out loud? Sun Yutong stood up and patted Zhao Qiao¡¯s shoulder. ¡°I¡¯ll explain this to the teacher. Don¡¯t worry about your research project.¡± Zhao Qiao looked at him gratefully. ¡°Senior Brother¡­¡± ¡°Go back and rest. Tomorrow morning, everyone will finish the unfinished tasks. We will go back in the afternoon.¡± Sun Yutong knew that he felt upset, so he stopped him from thanking him. He waved his hand and dismissed everyone to return to their rooms to rest. Tang Zhi got up and stopped when she walked past Zhao Qiao. ¡°Senior Brother Zhao, you want to be in charge?¡± Zhao Qiao was stunned. She rarely took the initiative to talk to him. ¡°It¡¯s not that I want to be in the limelight. It¡¯s just that I¡¯m a little worried about Xiao Jun. He has no mental problems, but he needs someone to counsel him. If Bai Qing can do it, it¡¯s no big deal to hand it over to her.¡± Tang Zhi nodded. ¡°Okay, I got it.¡± With that said, she left, leaving only her back view. Zhao Qiao scratched his head in confusion. Forget it, he wouldn¡¯t think about it. Although he felt aggrieved, it was just as he had said earlier. As long as Xiao Jun¡¯s problem could be solved, it would be fine. Tang Zhi walked out and saw Sun Yutong standing at the staircase in a daze. She could tell he wasn¡¯t in a good mood. Stepping forward, she greeted, ¡°Senior Brother Sun.¡± Sun Yutong turned around and put on a warm smile.. ¡°Are you still not going back to rest?¡± Chapter 34 - Traveling Alone Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°Yes, I have something to tell you.¡± Sun Yutong smiled and said, ¡°It¡¯s rare for you to take the initiative to look for me. If there¡¯s anything, just say it.¡± ¡°I have something to attend to tomorrow, so I won¡¯t be going back with everyone.¡± Sun Yutong froze. ¡°This place is remote and transportation is inconvenient. Are you sure you can go back by yourself?¡± Because of this, Rong University even sent a team over. Tang Zhi nodded. ¡°Yes, I have an idea.¡± ¡°Then¡­¡± Sun Yutong hesitated for a moment. ¡°Before I came here, our teacher had already warned me repeatedly that I must take good care of you. But since you still have things to do, I can¡¯t delay you. It¡¯s just that once you return to Rong City, you must definitely send me a message so that I can know that you¡¯ve already safely returned.¡± Although they had not known each other for long, he could tell that she was a very independent person. Since she had already decided on something, it was useless for others to object. Therefore, he had no choice but to agree. ¡°Okay.¡± Tang Zhi¡¯s gaze softened. Before they parted, she suddenly said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry about what happened just now.¡± Sun Yutong thought she was comforting him, so he smiled. People said that she had a cold personality, but that was not entirely true. ¡­ She didn¡¯t know if it was because she wasn¡¯t used to it or if it was because of other reasons, but when she returned to her room, Tang Zhi still couldn¡¯t sleep. She simply turned on her computer and started writing the research report. After staying up late, she woke up early the next day to continue writing. By noon, it was almost done. Tang Zhi rubbed her brows and sent the document to Sun Yutong. She got up and went down to the canteen to eat. Coincidentally, she bumped into Sun Yutong, Zhao Qiao, and the others. Sun Yutong said, ¡°I was just about to look for you. How did you finish writing the report so quickly? Actually, there¡¯s no need to rush.¡± He was worried again. ¡°You must have stayed up late last night, right?¡± Zhao Qiao and the rest were shocked. ¡°What did you say? Your research project report has already been written?¡± ¡°Yes, Tang Zhi wrote it.¡± Zhao Qiao gave Tang Zhi a thumbs up and said in admiration, ¡°You¡¯re awesome.¡± Tang Zhi was about to speak when her phone rang. She picked up the call and said in a low voice, ¡°Okay, I understand. I¡¯ll come over now.¡± She looked at Sun Yutong and said, ¡°Sorry, I still have something to attend to, so I¡¯ll be leaving first.¡± Zhao Qiao and the others also learned from Sun Yutong that Tang Zhi wouldn¡¯t go back with them, so they weren¡¯t surprised. They were just curious. How could she know someone in such a remote place? ¡°It¡¯s alright, it¡¯s alright. You can get busy. After we get back to school, let¡¯s have a gathering. When the time comes, you must come. You don¡¯t know, but the students in the laboratory are very curious about you, who they¡¯ve only heard of but never saw in person.¡± Zhao Qiao seemed to have regained his usual liveliness. He didn¡¯t look unhappy at all. Tang Zhi nodded and agreed before leaving quickly. Bai Qing and the two girls were eating downstairs. When they saw this scene, they could not help but frown. ¡°We¡¯re going back soon. Why is she still running around at this time? Senior Brother Sun, aren¡¯t you going to keep the person you brought over in check?¡± Zhao Qiao and the others felt upset when they saw her. Although what happened yesterday wasn¡¯t Bai Qing¡¯s fault, it was still somewhat awkward. Sun Yutong said indifferently, ¡°Tang Zhi isn¡¯t coming back with us.¡± Bai Qing was even more dissatisfied. ¡°This is such a remote place. What¡¯s she going to do if she doesn¡¯t go back with us? It¡¯s troublesome.. If something happens later, won¡¯t it be our responsibility?¡± Chapter 35 - Falling Out Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°I¡¯ll bear the responsibility. It won¡¯t fall on you.¡± Bai Qing¡¯s expression changed. The girl beside her was unhappy. ¡°An undergraduate student who doesn¡¯t know anything is taking advantage of her status as Professor Zhang¡¯s last disciple to come with us to Ningjiang County to get school credit.¡± ¡°All of us have been studying hard in the laboratory every day. We¡¯ve been scolded so many times to get to where we are today. Isn¡¯t it too outrageous to let someone who doesn¡¯t know anything take advantage of this opportunity?¡± Zhao Qiao couldn¡¯t stand it and retorted, ¡°Tang Zhi is in the same group as Senior Brother Sun. How did she take advantage of your group?¡± ¡°Zhao Qiao, don¡¯t try to retort me. Senior Brother Sun has been helping her all the time. Do you really think we can¡¯t tell? In the future, if all the newbies enter the laboratory are like her, will we still be able to do anything?¡± ¡°Heh, who told you that Tang Zhi doesn¡¯t do anything? Senior Brother Sun¡¯s team¡¯s research report has already been written. It was Tang Zhi who stayed up late to write it.¡± Ruan Rou¡¯s expression changed. ¡°That¡¯s impossible!¡± Then, she said disdainfully, ¡°You don¡¯t have to lie to defend her.¡± ¡°Hm, I can¡¯t be bothered to argue with you.¡± Zhao Qiao placed the tray at the recycling bin and walked past Bai Qing and the others without looking back. After everyone had left, another girl muttered, ¡°Could she have really finished writing the report?¡± ¡°How is that possible? Even if it was us, we wouldn¡¯t be able to write the research report so quickly.¡± ¡°That¡¯s true. I can¡¯t write it in such a short time either.¡± Ruan Rou sneered. ¡°Zhao Qiao really dares to say anything in order to protect her. Even Senior Brother Sun is helping her. Senior Brother Sun has never been like this in the past. The laboratory is so tense because of her.¡± ¡°You should stop talking.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t go in the kitchen if you can¡¯t stand the heat.¡± Ruan Rou said disdainfully, ¡°Research is based on true ability, not on looks or connections.¡± ¡°Bai Qing isn¡¯t bad either. In terms of her connections with Huanyu Corporation, isn¡¯t she better than her? But she still stayed up late to write research papers and do experiments with us. When has she ever put on airs?¡± Bai Qing smiled reservedly and said, ¡°Ruan Rou, you¡¯re getting further and further away from the topic. How can I take shortcuts when learning?¡± ¡°You don¡¯t have such thoughts, but I¡¯m afraid others won¡¯t think the same way.¡± Ruan Rou pretended to be angry. ¡°Bai Qing, if Reporter Zhao hadn¡¯t received the call this time, we wouldn¡¯t have known that you have such a good family background and even know Vice President Yun of Huanyu Corporation.¡± Bai Qing smiled nonchalantly. ¡°My uncle doesn¡¯t like us talking about this outside.¡± ¡°I understand. Your family is strict.¡± Ruan Rou¡¯s eyes lit up as she felt even more envious. Bai Qing smiled and did not reply. However, in Ruan Rou¡¯s eyes, it was more like a silent agreement. ¡­ Tang Zhi knocked on the red-painted wooden door with familiarity and the door was soon opened. ¡°Miss Tang.¡± Yun Hai greeted her with a smile. After interacting with each other for the past two days, he felt that they were already considered quite familiar. Moreover, he was very curious about Tang Zhi. After all, not many people could make Master Chen treat them differently. Tang Zhi nodded and muttered, ¡°Thank you for what happened last night, Vice President Yun.¡± ¡°Miss Tang, you can just call me Yun Hai. As for the matter of sponsoring that child, I know you can settle it yourself. You¡¯re just doing Huanyu a favor.¡± Whether it was the Tang Family or Li Jingcheng, the young master of Li Tai Pharmaceutical Company, it was not difficult to sponsor a child.. Chapter 36 - Returning to Rong City Together Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Tang Zhi didn¡¯t stand on ceremony with Yun Hai and skipped this topic. She looked around the courtyard and realized that He Chen was not around. She said sullenly, ¡°When do we leave?¡± ¡°I was just about to tell you that Master Chen went out early in the morning because he had something on. We¡¯ll go straight to the helipad and be there in half an hour.¡± Tang Zhi realized something from his words and raised her eyebrows. The town was remote and was at least three hours away from Ningjiang County¡¯s airport. Were they leaving in his private plane? It was not strange for Huanyu Corporation¡¯s boss to have a private jet. However, it was such a remote place. Could it be that he had built a helipad? Coupled with the fact that this house looked ordinary on the outside but had a unique interior, it was hard not to feel strange about it. Tang Zhi collected her thoughts and said nonchalantly, ¡°Then let¡¯s go.¡± The car slowly drove into the mountains. Tang Zhi simply leaned against the seat and closed her eyes to rest. Soon, they arrived. Tang Zhi got off the car and boarded the private plane that had been parked there for a long time. She immediately saw the man sitting on the sofa and walked over to greet him. ¡°Master Chen.¡± He Chen looked up at her and pointed at the sofa opposite him. ¡°Sit.¡± Tang Zhi took the opportunity to sit down. She casually sized it up before retracting her gaze. The interior of the cabin had a black, white, and gray business-style design. It was very similar to his low-key temperament. ¡°Tell them what you want to eat. They¡¯ve prepared basic meals.¡± Tang Zhi thought for a while and said, ¡°Then I¡¯ll eat whatever Master Chen does.¡± Coincidentally, she had just received a call from Yun Hai and came over. She had not had lunch yet. He Chen paused and glanced at her before getting someone to prepare the food. Soon, someone served it. It was steak and cream mushroom soup. It had to be said that the taste was not bad. It was probably from the chef who had learned cooking in Li Garden. He Chen didn¡¯t seem to be eating very fast, but he seemed to be eating at the same frequency. He finished it in no time. Tang Zhi looked at the remaining half of her plate and fell silent. ¡°Eat slowly. There¡¯s no hurry.¡± He Chen¡¯s deep voice sounded. Tang Zhi sat up slightly and retorted, ¡°It¡¯s because Master Chen ate too fast.¡± The corners of his lips curled up slightly as his gaze suddenly drifted away. ¡°Yes, it¡¯s an old habit that I can¡¯t shake.¡± Old habit? What kind of environment would make one develop such a habit? She did not speculate. She lowered her gaze and continued to chew her steak slowly. After she finished eating, she felt tired. She had not slept well for two consecutive nights. Coupled with the fact that she had stayed up all night to write her report, she could not take it anymore. He Chen glanced at her. ¡°If you¡¯re tired, go inside and rest. There¡¯s a bed.¡± Tang Zhi thought about it and didn¡¯t force herself. She thanked him and walked into the rest cabin. The rest cabin was the same black, white, and gray business style. There was a gray blanket neatly folded on the sofa bed. It was clean, collected, and reflected its owner¡¯s style. Tang Zhi pursed her lips and her throat was a little itchy. An hour later, at the Rong City Airport. Tang Zhi walked out with a black hiking bag on her back and saw the convoy parked by the roadside. He Chen walked past her. ¡°Let¡¯s go. I¡¯ll send you back first.¡± Tang Zhi smiled and followed him. Not long after, the convoy stopped at the entrance of the Tang family¡¯s villa. Tang Zhi opened the car door and turned to He Chen. ¡°Thank you for today, Master Chen.¡± ¡°No need.¡± He Chen glanced at her. His voice was low and magnetic. Yun Hai stole a glance at his boss through the rearview mirror and smiled warmly at Tang Zhi. ¡°Miss Tang, you don¡¯t have to be so polite. We still have to meet frequently in the future.¡± Tang Zhi smiled and walked into the villa after the convoy left.. Chapter 37 - Are You Very Free? Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Huanyu¡¯s motorcade drove out of the villa area. In the front passenger seat, Yun Hai was sending a message in the group chat. Yun Hai:!! Yun Hai: I¡¯ve discovered a big piece of news! Yun Hai: If you don¡¯t have 100,000 yuan this time, don¡¯t expect me to tell you. A minute later. Yun Hu: Get lost. What information do you have that is worth 100,000 yuan? It¡¯s not worth it even if I sell you. Yun Hai:??? Yun He: Is it related to Master Chen? Yun Hai looked at the conversation in the group chat and felt a little dejected. What right did he have to say that he wasn¡¯t worth 100,000 yuan? He typed furiously: ¡°That¡¯s right, it¡¯s related to Master Chen. If you don¡¯t want to listen, then forget it. If you miss out on this opportunity, there won¡¯t be another one.¡± Thirty seconds later, three transfer notification alerts sounded. Yun Hai was satisfied and continued to type in the group chat. Yun Hai: Haha, don¡¯t say that I cheated you guys. The value of this news is definitely high. Yun Hu: If you have something to say, just say it. If you continue to dawdle, I will kill that pot of cactus you planted. The thought of spending a hundred thousand yuan to buy this piece of news was distressing, yet Yun Hai was still keeping them in suspense. Among the four, Yun Hu was the most cranky. Yun Hai¡¯s expression changed: If you dare touch my cactus, I will fight you to the death. Yun Hu: With your mediocre skills, who can you beat? Yun Hu: I heard that a few days ago, you lost in a real-life combat simulation. You don¡¯t even know who you lost to. You really embarrassed our four pavilions. How did Master Chen hold himself back from throwing you into the pavilions for it to be rebuilt? Yun Hai took a deep breath. Then, he silently clicked open Yun Hu¡¯s profile picture and clicked ¡®reject¡¯ on the transfer. Yun Hu, who was far away in the capital:¡­??? Yun Hu: Is there something wrong with your brain? Do you think I wouldn¡¯t know if they knew? Yun Hai¡¯s face stiffened, and he sent another message to the group. Yun Hai: Transfer it again, or I won¡¯t tell you guys anymore. Yun Hu sent him a thumbs-up emoticon: I give up. You got me. But his curiosity was piqued, so he transferred the money to Yun Hai again. He tapped open Yun Hu¡¯s profile picture again and silently accepted it. Yun Hai: I met Miss Tang when I went to Ningjiang County to help Master Cheng. Yun Hu: What kind of news is this? Yun He: Is that Miss Tang from the Zhou family who broke off the engagement last time? Yun Jiang: Probably. He didn¡¯t mention anyone else. Yun Hai calmly glanced at the screen and smugly typed a sentence: Miss Tang came back in a private plane with Master Chen. Yun Hu:!!! Yun He: Are you sure? Yun Jiang: Really? Yun Hai was satisfied. As expected, he alone could not be the only one shocked by this. He continued to type: Also, Master Chen got someone to cook spicy stewed fish for Miss Tang. Yun Hu: Wait, what does this have to do with spicy stewed fish? Yun He:¡­ Master Chen doesn¡¯t eat spicy food. Yun Hu:!!! He was completely speechless. Yun Hai looked at the chat group that was buzzing because of his words and put away his phone in satisfaction. When he looked up, he saw his boss sizing him up in the rearview mirror. Yun Hai was terrified and he hurriedly said, ¡°Master Chen.¡± ¡°Have you been very free recently?¡± A deep and mellow voice sounded. Yun Hai was confused. He carefully examined his boss¡¯s expression. He wasn¡¯t free. Didn¡¯t he just come back from Ningjiang County with him? He Chen retracted his gaze. ¡°Since you¡¯re so free, you should be in charge of two more projects. Give a third of your men in Huanyu to Yun He.¡± Yun Hai:!!!?? He felt devastated.. What had he done wrong to make Master Chen feel that he was very free? Chapter 38 - Secret Message Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°What can I do to make Boss not think that you¡¯re very free?¡± Tang Zhi saw Yun Hai¡¯s post and could sense his resentment even through the screen. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly. He calmly gave a thumbs up and then swiped it across. There were not many messages on her phone. Only Zhao Qiao sent an invitation for a weekend gathering. Tang Zhi agreed and was about to leave when she saw a blank profile picture pop up. The caller ID only had two words: Song Yan. The message was very simple. It was a location. Tang Zhi opened it and realized it was in the capital. She quickly dialed a number and the call was picked up. It was a cold female voice. ¡°Hello, did you see it?¡± Tang Zhi replied, ¡°You¡¯re in the country?¡± ¡°Yes, there¡¯s a surgery here. The patient¡¯s identity is special, so they came to me.¡± Tang Zhi didn¡¯t ask further. The patient¡¯s identity was special and with Song Yan¡¯s reputation as a top international surgeon, it wasn¡¯t strange for them to find her. The atmosphere between the two gradually softened, as if there was a silent warmth lingering. This kind of intimacy even made Song Yan¡¯s voice sound less cold. She said gently, ¡°Xiao Zhi, shall we meet tomorrow morning?¡± Tang Zhi smiled. It wasn¡¯t hard to hear the joy in her voice. ¡°Okay, Fourth Sister.¡± ¡­ West of Rong City, a black car drove into a private residence. The residence was surrounded by tall walls. The heavy black iron doors closed, blocking people¡¯s sight. This place was not considered remote, but very few people could approach it. Fourth Master He liked peace and quiet. In the courtyard, there were more than ten bodyguards in black suits. He Chen stepped out of the black Phaeton and everyone bowed. ¡°Thank you for your help, Master Chen.¡± The leader stepped forward and said solemnly, ¡°Otherwise, Professor Fu would have been in trouble this time.¡± He Chen glanced at him nonchalantly and said in a deep voice, ¡°I don¡¯t wish to see the same thing happen again.¡± If he couldn¡¯t even protect his own people, how could there be any sense of security? That person said with shame, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Master Chen. This is our negligence. When we return, we will definitely strengthen the protection of the research institute.¡± ¡°As for the wound on Chief Physician Fu¡¯s hand, we¡¯ve already found the best international surgeon. There won¡¯t be any sequelae.¡± Yun Hai said calmly, ¡°If there¡¯s anything wrong with Professor Fu¡¯s hand, you can¡¯t afford to pay for it.¡± ¡°Yes, yes, yes. Thank goodness.¡± As he spoke, he felt a lingering sense of fear. The experiment that Professor Fu was responsible for had reached a critical stage. If something went wrong, it would be a huge loss to the Chinese physics community. He was just a mere guard captain, so how could he bear the responsibility? No one knew that in the evening, a private plane quietly arrived in the capital from Rong City. They also didn¡¯t know that if the news of the injured person on the plane got out, it would cause a huge uproar in the Chinese physics community. ¡­ Although Tang Zhi guessed that He Chen had something to do in Ningjiang County, she didn¡¯t know the exact reason. Professor Tang and Mrs. Li went to Su City two days ago, so the entire villa was empty. However, Tang Zhi was very tired. She handed the things to Aunt Fang and went upstairs to rest. At around eight in the evening, she only woke up when she heard the commotion downstairs. When she went downstairs, she saw Tang Qian entering. He took off his coat and put it aside. He looked at her and said, ¡°Are you tired from this trip?¡± Tang Zhi rubbed her temples and walked to the opposite sofa to sit down. ¡°It¡¯s alright..¡± Chapter 39 - A Decision Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°The archaeological project in Su City is almost over. Dad and Mom will be back in two days,¡± Tang Qian said apologetically. ¡°There¡¯s something I might need to tell you.¡± ¡°Are you referring to Tang Xuanyi and Zhou Yuhao¡¯s engagement?¡± ¡°You know?¡± Tang Zhi nodded and leaned back lazily. ¡°Yeah, I guess so.¡± When she was still in Ningjiang County, she received Qin Jiayin¡¯s endless stream of calls and she scolded the two people indignantly. How could she not know? However, she did not take it to heart. Tang Qian fell silent for a moment before saying, ¡°Xiao Zhi, I¡¯m sorry for letting you suffer.¡± He had been busy with work recently and had no time for other matters. After what happened last time, he thought that they would restrain themselves. He did not expect them to be so impatient and lacking in propriety. Tang Qian furrowed his brows. All these years, he had never really interfered in the family¡¯s matters, but it caused them to push their luck and become even more emboldened. ¡°I don¡¯t feel wronged.¡± Tang Zhi took the warm milk from Aunt Fang and thanked her before continuing, ¡°I didn¡¯t take them seriously in the first place. It¡¯s just that you should take care of the Tang family¡¯s matters.¡± Tang Zhi took out a business card and handed it to him. ¡°Those shares and the company¡¯s operations need someone to manage them. I might be able to help you.¡± Tang Qian took it. The name card was custom-made. It was black with gold edges and felt very special. There was only one name and a phone number on it. Shang Xin. Tang Qian looked at the name and put the name card away. He also did not intend to let those people in the old estate continue to mess around. Tang Zhi held the hot milk and drank it. She smiled and seemed very satisfied. Neither of the siblings brought up anything unpleasant. ¡­ When she returned to her room, her phone rang. Tang Zhi answered lazily, ¡°Hello.¡± ¡°Honey, do you know that your words have thrown GK¡¯s headquarters into chaos? I rushed back to the country overnight, but still couldn¡¯t even see you.¡± ¡°Xi Mu said that you went to some remote place?¡± Tang Zhi leaned against the French window and listened to the coquettish voice on the phone. She said casually, ¡°Oh, I¡¯m back now. Let¡¯s find a time to meet at the company.¡± ¡°Oh, you¡¯re finally willing to come?¡± Shang Xin teased, ¡°Xi Mu told me to send someone to pick you up personally. Otherwise, he¡¯s afraid you won¡¯t even be able to find your office.¡± ¡°No need. Send me the address. I¡¯ll go there myself.¡± Tang Zhi rubbed the space between her eyebrows. Last time, Xi Mu seemed to be very angry and refused to send her the address. Shang Xin agreed readily. ¡°Alright, you can decide on the time. I¡¯ve contacted Huanyu¡¯s people. I heard that the new person-in-charge of their investment department is from the capital.¡± The capital? For some reason, Tang Zhi thought of Yun Hai. ¡°Okay, I understand. I¡¯ll go to the office tomorrow afternoon.¡± After hanging up, Tang Zhi leaned against the window and looked at the quiet night sky outside. Because she had slept for a while in the afternoon, she was especially awake now. When a person was awake, their memory would be exceptionally good. For example, that cold and aloof figure in a black shirt could not leave her mind. Tang Zhi pursed her lips and poured herself a glass of water to moisten her dry throat. She silently made a decision. Five minutes later, she turned on her computer. She entered the website and a black page appeared. The page was simple. There was nothing except a login frame. Tang Zhi entered her account and password and logged in.. Chapter 40 - A Deal Worth Five Million Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Half an hour later, in the capital. In a villa on the mountainside of the He family¡¯s manor, Yun Hu rushed in with a tablet. He saw the man sitting on the sofa and immediately stopped in his tracks. ¡°Master Chen.¡± He Chen lit a cigarette in his hand and glanced at him. ¡°What is it?¡± Yun Hu took out his tablet and showed it to He Chen. ¡°Someone sent a list to the intranet of St club tonight.¡± After saying this, he looked at his boss cautiously before continuing, ¡°The other party is paying 5 million to buy your private contact information.¡± There was silence. The living room was so quiet that one could hear their breathing. Yun Hu could sense that Master Chen¡¯s aura had instantly turned colder. He braced himself and continued, ¡°This post has no authorization. In other words, as long as you¡¯re a member of St Club tonight, you should know about this.¡± After saying these words, he heaved a sigh of relief, but his mood was very mixed. He Chen¡¯s hand paused. The cigarette ash slid down and he glanced sideways at Yun Hu. Yun Hu hurriedly said, ¡°Yun Jiang is already investigating. That ¡®manager¡¯ from St club doesn¡¯t seem to have any intention of interfering. We should be able to find out who placed the order very soon.¡± He was also quite puzzled. Could it be that someone was targeting Master Chen and wanted to go against him? But if he was going against Master Chen, why would he need a private contact number? Yes, it was quite generous to buy a contact number for five million yuan. Of course, Master Chen¡¯s personal contact was priceless. He Chen replied calmly without any emotions on his face. He leaned against the sofa and extinguished the cigarette in the ashtray. After about ten minutes, the phone rang. Yun Hu put it on speaker. Yun Jiang¡¯s voice came through the phone, but his reaction was a little strange. He hesitated and said, ¡°Master Chen¡­¡± ¡°Speak.¡± He Chen was straightforward. Yun Jiang said in an extremely business-like tone without any emotions, ¡°When we were tracking that ID, we were discovered by the famous international hacker from the St club. However, the other party didn¡¯t stop us and allowed us to track it. In the end, we found out that the ID was in Rong City.¡± ¡°According to the investigation, it might be a member of the St Club in Rong City. There are three of them, and it¡¯s highly possible that one of them is a mid-level member.¡± Yun Jiang paused for a moment before continuing, ¡°Among the three people we suspect, there is Li Jingcheng, the young master of Li Tai Pharmaceutical Company.¡± The living room fell silent. He Chen¡¯s hand froze in mid-air for about three seconds before he slowly retracted it. After a long while, a deep and mellow voice sounded. ¡°Continue.¡± Yun Jiang¡¯s voice became even more formal. ¡°Our people found out that Li Jingcheng attended a cocktail party tonight. When the list was sent out, he was entertaining the guests.¡± Li Jingcheng was Miss Tang¡¯s cousin. Yun Jiang did not mention this. Previously, Yun Hai had live-streamed the annulment of the Tang Family¡¯s old mansion in the group chat, so he still remembered Li Jingcheng, the last person to appear and end the scene with one punch. Yun Hu, who had a bad temper, was full of praises. When he heard Li Jingcheng¡¯s name, he was stunned. F*ck, no wonder Miss Tang¡¯s cousin was so strong. He was a member of the St Club. With the St Club¡¯s international reputation, there were countless big shots among the members. To deal with nobodies like the Zhou family, wouldn¡¯t it be easy to just send out a list? Of course, the premise was that he could afford it. Thinking too far ahead, Yun Hu shook his head and tried to calm himself down. Didn¡¯t Yun Jiang say that Li Jingcheng was entertaining the guests?
