[✓]The Mysterious Heiress: Researcher In Disguise

41-44

Old Master Li was stumped, “I... I have to pay you?”

“There’s no such thing as free lunch. I’ve already waived the fee of the first treatment.” Fu Zhi frowned. “Of course you have to pay for the rest if you want me to treat him!”

When Fu Zhi left the Li Family Household, Li Nanli was still standing beside the window. He held his phone in his slender fingers as he tapped at the windowpane thoughtfully.

After a long while, his phone rang. He answered the call and Jiang Jinshu’s nervous voice belted out from the other side of the line. “My superiors have already started the investigation. When are you going to return the capsule to me?”

“I lost it,” Li Nanli replied calmly, ignoring the anxiety in Jiang Jinshu’s voice.

His expression remained unchanged under the bright silver light, and the harsh lines that ran down each side of his face were dyed gold by the westbound sun.

“You lost it?!” Jiang Jinshu jumped up from the couch. He could not remain calm anymore as he shouted, “If my father ever finds out, he will break my legs! Do you know that?”

“So?” Li Nanli raised his brow. “At least you’re still alive.”

Jiang Jinshu was speechless.

‘What the f*ck?’

Chapter 42: You Only Need One Brother

Just as Fu Zhi was about 10 minutes away from her house, her phone rang.

“Fu Zhi, I’ve already sent the thing you want to Room 302 of the Regent Hotel. Besides, your eldest brother is heading home now. He said you’re dating someone and he wants to break your legs.”

There were some noises over the phone, so the man raised his voice slightly. “According to television, a drama king like him is the most troublesome when it comes to family disputes. Do you need me to get rid of Lu Yumo for you?”

Fu Zhi was stumped.

The man was Shen Cizhou.

During the last few years that Fu Zhi had been working for the laboratory, the previous three generations of test units had started a riot. Even though all of them had been successfully contained eventually, to protect her safety, her “fathers” in the laboratory had hired the third-in-rank professional courier in the world for her.

Shen Cizhou was not under the jurisdiction of any country and he mingled very well in both circles of gangs and the police around the globe. He had a bad temper. Throughout the year Fu Zhi had stayed with the Zhao Family, she’d often heard him say that he was planning to assassinate the Zhao Family.

Feeling a little helpless, the girl rubbed the center of her forehead and said, “He’s my eldest brother.”

“He won’t be for long,” Shen Cizhou replied. “You have two brothers now, but you only need one.”

“Shen Cizhou!” Fu Zhi called out his name. Her voice turned cold and sent a chill down the man’s spine.

After a thick moment of silence, he spoke again. “Alright.”

His voice was laced with regret. “I will not touch him.”

Fu Zhi did not comment.

Before she hung up the call, Shen Cizhou reminded her, “That being said, remember to come back for me if you change your mind. I’ll be waiting for you.”

The call was then cut off.

Fu Zhi pulled the pane down and Secretary Liu glanced at her through the rearview mirror. “Ms. Fu.”
