Chapter 631: Zi Yi and Lu Jingye Taking Action Together In the Economic War.

The mysterious force was very strong and the abundance of its funds had reached a terrifying degree.

Not only the Lu Group were unable to resist them. Even with the higher-ups sending people to help, they were unable to resist them.

There were many people who had keenly perceived something.

"It is simply impossible for a multinational corporation of several international groups to have such a massive amount of funds entering the market."

"Could it be that some other country's government is trying to destroy the Lu Group?"

"Why didn't the capital's higher-ups increase the inflow of funds?"

"It's possible that even they do not have that ability!"

The big Boss of a multinational group, who had keenly detected the change, had immediately ordered for their subordinates to stop the attack.

"We can't interfere anymore or else the company itself will be at risk."

However, some other Bosses had a differing opinion.

"This is the perfect opportunity, increase our funds. We just have to take down the Lu Group's XX subsidiary company."

...

This economic war was going from bad to worse and all the financial circles around the globe were involved.

However, that mysterious force was moving around with ease.

Just when many forces jumped in and got involved, they discovered that they had fallen into the trap of the mysterious force.

"Not good, that mysterious force is not only aiming for the Lu Group. They are also aiming for us!"

Those who had fallen into the trap were frightened and hastily commanded their subordinates to protect their home base.

Imperial time, 3 a.m in the morning.

It was extremely silent, as it was the time when most people had fallen into a deep sleep.

The Lu Group's overseas industries were being lost with each passing minute and the three brothers of the Lu Family were all livid. Their expressions were extremely terrifying.

"We're finished. This time around, the Lu Group is really finished."

Eldest Master Lu could only watch on as their subsidiary companies were attacked one by one. He no longer appeared as stern as before and he was immersed in an unspeakable frustration, while he looked as if he was extremely depressed.

The expressions of Second Master Lu and Third Master Lu were not much better either.

Even though Third Master Lu did not understand business, at the sight of how the various executives appeared dejected, he also knew what the Lu Group had lost.

Things seemed to have reached a foregone conclusion.

But at this moment, the mysterious force suddenly stopped.

Immediately afterwards, another two powerful forces entered the fray.

Even though the two forces seemed to be approaching in a gentle manner, one of them was extremely powerful, while the other was like an autumn wind that swept away all the fallen leaves, as it left nothing behind wherever it went.

"Who has gotten involved now? To think that they had stopped that powerful mysterious force!"

"This doesn't make sense. It's clear that the mysterious force is the government of a certain country, it's impossible that they would be forced to stop by two other forces?"

Recommended for you

"Could it be that two other countries have also gotten involved?"

"No, it doesn't look like it!"

"But who would have the capability to do so? Even if Lu Jingye was still around, he couldn't possibly have managed to do that?"

"Even if Lu Jingye was around, he doesn't have such a strong financial backing to stop that mysterious force!"

...

Inside the secret base.

Zi Yi and Lu Jingye each faced a virtual screen in front of them.

They were seated with their backs facing each other. Ever since 10 p.m last night, they had only exchanged a few sentences. However, every sentence gave the other party extremely important information.

Lu Jingye was responsible for dealing with the entire financial circle, while Zi Yi was responsible for being his financial backing.

At 2 a.m in the morning.

Lu Jingye said, "Yiyi, I need financial backing that is greater than the national treasury of Country A."

The corner of her lips curved up and her ten slender fingers quickly tapped on the keyboard as she said, "I will 'lend out' money from the treasury of five different countries, one after the other, in half an hour's time. Get ready."

"Alright."

Following that, neither of them spoke to each other again.

However, no one knew that with the black technology from the future, Zi Yi had soundlessly misappropriated the national treasury of five different countries to allow Lu Jingye to compete with Country A, along with the whole financial circle around the world.

At 3 a.m, Lu Jingye had forced the mysterious power to stop.

At the same time, trillions of dollars were lost from Country A's national treasury.

In addition, the funds of many large corporations who got involved in this war began to evaporate at a shocking speed.

At 3:30 a.m in the morning, the world's stock market had plunged.

The entire financial circle fell into a great panic.

At 4 a.m, the economic war finally came to an end.

The Lu Group who had been eyed up by everyone for so long failed to hold on and many other companies had also declared bankruptcy the next day.

The world's financial circle had a great movement after that and there was a great shuffle.

More than half of the world's top 100 companies had been replaced overnight.

It did not take long for a technology company called [Future] to leap up the rankings and become the number one in the world.

Of course... that was another story for the future.

...

At 4:30 a.m in the morning.

Zi Yi and Lu Jingye turned off their virtual screens.

Zi Yi said to Lu Jingye, "When you were busy, Rick wanted to attack the Song Jewelry and so I sent him a big gift."

There was no need for him to think to already know what the 'big gift' was that his wife had sent Rick. He merely responded with a nod and stood up as he walked over to her.

Zi Yi reached out her hands to him and pouted. "Ah Jing, my hands are sore."

She had been typing on the keyboard for the entire night and even if her hands were not really sore, she still had to pretend and act spoiled.

Lu Jingye squatted in front of her and massaged her hands in a loving manner.

Zi Yi looked at him, who appeared very calm, and she asked with a giggle, "You're now the richest man in the world once again. How are you feeling?"

Lu Jingye did not even look up as he corrected her. "It's not me. You're the richest one."

He paused for two seconds before he continued to say, "I'm only working for you."

Zi Yi continued to giggle. After she had her laugh, she pulled out one of her hands from his and placed it on his cheek. "Then I'll give you a good salary in the future."

"No need." Lu Jingye's chivalry came out and he said, "I will be able to support you with the salary I earn when I give lectures at M.Uni in the future."

"Then... what do we do with all that money?"

"Don't you like counting numbers? You can count them when you're bored."

"..."

Zi Yi thought about it and unexpectedly felt that this was a good idea.

She pulled out her other hand and snaked it around his neck before leaning towards him and giving him a peck on the lips.

She continued to act spoiled. "Ah Jing, I'm so tired and sleepy."

"Wrap your arms around my neck and hold on to me tightly," Lu Jingye said. After Zi Yi held on to him firmly, he stood up and carried her together.

He grabbed her by the waist and picked her up in a princess carry. While walking, he said, "You can sleep for a few more hours tomorrow. I won't wake you up."

Zi Yi closed her eyes and leaned her head against his chest as she responded with a nod.

By the time Lu Jingye carried Zi Yi into the bedroom, she had already fallen asleep.

Lu Jingye gently laid her on the bed, and removed her shoes before he took out his mobile phone and headed outside.

He still had plenty of aftermath work to do.

When Zi Yi woke up again, it was around 3 p.m in the afternoon.

She subconsciously touched the area beside her. There was no one there.

She got up and washed herself. When she opened the bedroom door, she saw Lu Jingye leaning against the sofa, as he had fallen asleep.

She hastily turned around and went back into the bedroom and took a blanket as she gently covered Lu Jingye with the blanket.

Unexpectedly, Lu Jingye had opened his eyes at that moment.

Zi Yi said discontentedly, "Why are you sleeping here?"

Lu Jingye sat up and removed the blanket as he said, "I was only closing my eyes slightly to take a rest."

Zi Yi sat next to him, grabbed his wrists, and checked his pulse. She furrowed her eyebrows. "You have been on edge these past few days."

She then stood up and pulled him up along with her. "Go to bed first, while I'll cook some tonic soup for you."

Chapter 632: He's So Thin-Skinned

Zi Yi left only after making sure that Lu Jingye had fallen asleep.

When she came out from the courtyard, she did not expect to see Elder Hu walking back and forth outside the entrance with his hands behind his back.

Elder Hu was not only pacing back and forth outside. He was also looking at the entrance from time to time.

When he saw Zi Yi opening the door and making her way outside, his eyes brightened, and he walked over in large strides. "Little Zi, you've finally come out."

Recommended for you

Zi Yi laughed and said, "Elder Hu, don't tell me you've been pacing around here for quite some time?"

"Not really. I just arrived too." Elder Hu originally came over to call for Zi Yi, but he just so happened to hear Zi Yi forcing Lu Jingye to sleep. He guessed that Lu Jingye did not sleep last night and so, he waited for her outside.

"Little Zi, hurry and follow me to the lab. Third Young Master Lu might be able to do a flip."

When Elder Hu said that, his expression and tone of voice contained unconcealed excitement.

Zi Yi wanted to say that she had yet to eat but when she saw how excited Elder Hu was, she said, "Then give me a minute while I go get some bread and milk."

Lu Jingye had thought in advance that she might not have time to have a meal and so, he prepared milk and bread in the living room for her.

Elder Hu nodded his head. "Go, go grab them."

Zi Yi picked up the milk and bread before she made her way out. On the way, she started discussing Lu Yunxiao with Elder Hu.

When they arrived at the lab, Zi Yi had just finished the milk and bread. She threw the tissue in the trash bin next to her. Just when she was about to enter the lab together with Elder Hu, she saw Lu Yi walking over in large strides.

"Elder Hu, Second Young Madam."

The both of them stopped and turned to look at Lu Yi.

Lu Yi said, "I wish to go in with you two."

Zi Yi nodded her head. "Sure. Yunxiao should be coming out later and you can come in to help."

A trace of excitement flashed across Lu Yi's expressionless face. He nodded in response and followed the both of them inside.

Lu Yunxiao was currently looking at the door with his pitch-black eyes. When he saw the three of them walking in, his eyes lit up immediately.

Elder Hu, Zi Yi, and Lu Yi came closer to where he was.

Lu Yi looked at Lu Yunxiao and called out with a trembling voice, "Leader."

Lu Yunxiao gave him a nod.

All the words seemed to have been said despite the silence.

Shortly after, Lu Yunxiao turned to look at Zi Yi and Elder Hu with an expectant gaze.

Zi Yi and Elder Hu made eye contact.

Elder Hu said to Lu Yunxiao, "Don't be so anxious. Wait for us to check your physical indicators first."

Zi Yi added and said, "Don't be in a rush to do strenuous exercises when you come out. It's normal to feel physically weak, as it has been a very long time since you have exercised."

Lu Yunxiao nodded his head in response.

Zi Yi walked to the controller and quickly operated it.

Some time later, a mechanical voice sounded. "All indicators are in the normal range."

Recommended for you

Zi Yi stopped what she was doing and turned to Lu Yunxiao. "I'll open the lid to the container now. Try to come out on your own later. If you can't get used to breathing, go back into the medicine solution. Repeat this a few times and you'll get used to it."

Lu Yunxiao nodded his head again.

Zi Yi tapped on the button to open the container. Immediately after, the lid to the container slowly moved to the side before it slowly descended and reached the floor.

Zi Yi said, "You can slowly try to come out now."

Lu Yunxiao did not immediately rush to climb out of the solution. Instead, he followed what Zi Yi said and slowly came out of the solution.

The first time, he felt a little uncomfortable and went back into the solution.

The second time, he got accustomed to the air and revealed his entire head.

Lu Yunxiao and Lu Jingye resembled each other around 60% and both of them were the type of people that would stand out amongst the crowd. However, the image Lu Jingye gave off was similar to the warm sun in spring, while Lu Yunxiao was like the gales that blew in winter. The feeling that the both of them gave off was vastly different.

After Lu Yunxiao exposed his head to the air, he remained in the nutrient solution for two more minutes before he propped both his hands on the opening, as he planned to come out.

Lu Yi walked over to the side and helped him.

However, when Lu Yunxiao was about to come out, his gaze suddenly turned towards Zi Yi.

Shortly after he said, "Go get me a towel."

As Lu Yunxiao had not spoken for a long time, his voice sounded extremely hoarse, similar to that of the sandpaper scratching over a surface.

Lu Yi immediately understood his meaning. He hastily removed his outerwear and said, "Leader, there's no towel here. Please make do with my outerwear first."

Lu Yunxiao nodded, propped himself up, and stepped onto the ground with Lu Yi's help. At the same time, Lu Yi wrapped his outerwear around his waist.

Zi Yi and Elder Hu looked at both of them with bright gazes as Zi Yi muttered, "He's so thin-skinned."

Elder Hu knocked on Zi Yi's head and said, "You lass. As his sister-in-law, this is his respect towards you."

Zi Yi covered her forehead and continued to mutter, "In my eyes, he's only a patient right now."

Elder Hu had no words to refute.

When Lu Yunxiao stepped onto the ground, his body still felt a little weak and Lu Yi had to support his weight.

Zi Yi and Elder Hu walked over to where he was.

Lu Yunxiao was drenched in the nutrient solution which made his face look even more chiseled.

In particular, those eyes of his gave off a natural look of indifference. Due to the nutrients provided by the nutrient solution, his gaze had become brighter.

He looked at Zi Yi and opened his mouth. "..."

Clearly, he was still unaccustomed to calling her sister-in-law. He paused for a while before he managed to get the words out. "Sister-in-law."

Zi Yi smiled and nodded at him as she said, "Ah Jing didn't sleep for the entire night and only fell asleep earlier on. I made him go to sleep and if you wish to meet him, you can come to our courtyard during dinner time."

She then turned to Lu Yi and said, "You can help Yunxiao to take a shower and get dressed."

"Alright."

There was a washroom just right beside them. Lu Jingye had already gotten Lu Yunxiao's clothes prepared over there.

Zi Yi and Elder Hu waited for Lu Yunxiao to come out after taking a shower.

Zi Yi continued to talk to him, "Before tomorrow morning, there's no need for you to eat. The nutrients from the nutrient solution are being absorbed inside your body and if you are thirsty, you can drink some water. However, don't drink cold water. Your stomach won't be able to adapt to the cold water."

"Ok."

Zi Yi thought that Lu Yunxiao would leave to take a rest first. She did not expect him to say, "I... can I go to your courtyard and wait for my brother?"

Lu Yunxiao looked cold on the outside, but those eyes of his were very bright. It should be that he had purposely hidden his indifference and right now, he looked like a big child who wanted to see his older brother right away.

1

In addition, he looked handsome and so who could possibly reject his request?

Zi Yi nodded her head and said, "Follow me."

Shortly afterwards, she led him outside.

When Lu Yunxiao walked out of the lab and saw snow all around him, there was a flash of surprise in his eyes. "It's already winter!"

"Yes. You've been in a coma for at least five months."

1

Lu Yunxiao lowered his eyes and concealed the emotions in his gaze.

On the way to their courtyard, no one spoke a single word. When they arrived outside, Lu Yunxiao prevented Lu Yi from supporting him further while he went in together with Zi Yi to wait for Lu Jingye.

Zi Yi got him to sit on the sofa and she said, "Ah Jing just fell asleep not too long ago. Let him sleep until dinner time at the very least. If you have anything to ask, you can ask me instead."

Lu Yunxiao opened his mouth and looked at her, but ended up closing it in the end.

Zi Yi: "..."

Could it be that this person did not know what to say to her?

Zi Yi waited for some time and when she saw that Lu Yunxiao was still silent, she said, "Forget it, if you don't know what to say to me, you can wait here alone. There's boiled water over there and you can just help yourself."

Zi Yi still had to go and prepare tonic soup for Lu Jingye. After she said her piece, she left Lu Yunxiao alone.

Chapter 633: Brothers Meeting Each Other Again. Lu Yunxiao Telling Lu Jingye What Happened Before He Got Sick

Lu Yunxiao had been in a coma for four to five months and by the time he woke up, he felt that something big had happened in the outside world. While he was waiting for Lu Jingye to wake up, he quickly organized his thoughts about what happened before his incident and he felt inexplicably anxious.

He subconsciously looked in the direction of the door due to his anxiousness.

It was unknown for how long he had been staring at the door, but when his keen senses sensed noises coming from inside the room, he subconsciously sat upright. His body was taut as his gaze was constantly staring at the door.

Lu Jingye had slept for around an hour or so. He felt somewhat thirsty, so he got up to head to the living room and pour some warm water for himself.

Recommended for you

The moment he opened the door, he was met with Lu Yunxiao's eyes.

The two brothers looked at each other for a few seconds in silence.

In the next second, Lu Jingye smiled.

That smile of his was a gentle smile that Lu Yunxiao was familiar with.

1

He tried to lift the corner of his lips. However, he was someone that did not like to smile, and coupled with how he had not used his facial muscles for the past several months, he discovered that trying to smile was very difficult.

"How long have you been waiting here for me?"

Lu Jingye's voice was calm and gentle. The sense of familiarity unconsciously made Lu Yunxiao relax.

"Not long."

He looked at Lu Jingye walking over and called out to him, "Brother."

Lu Jingye nodded at him and asked, "Are you able to drink water now?"

"Yes."

Lu Jingye headed over and poured a cup of water for each of them before he came over to where Lu Yunxiao was.

Lu Yunxiao grabbed the cup and felt warm deep down inside.

He raised his eyes and looked at Lu Jingye. "There's something wrong with the housekeeper next to Grandfather. He's not the real housekeeper."

Lu Jingye heard his hoarse voice and motioned to him. "Drink some water first."

When Lu Yunxiao was drinking the water, Lu Jingye told him about what had happened while he was unconscious.

Recommended for you

Lu Yunxiao was silent and he unconsciously radiated a chilly aura.

Lu Jingye asked him, "Who injured you?"

"A woman."

Lu Yunxiao stopped talking after that.

He lowered his eyes and continued drinking water as if he was thinking of how he should explain everything to Lu Jingye.

Lu Jingye did not rush him either and took a sip of water.

Sometime later, Lu Yunxiao spoke up again. "When I went to Country A for a mission, I accidentally broke into their secret base. They are doing an experiment that could possibly destroy the whole of mankind."

"What experiment?"

"They are doing human cloning and copying the subject's memories at the same time. They are thinking of changing people into clones."

Lu Jingye was shocked at the news.

Recommended for you

"Which stage are their experiments at?"

Lu Yunxiao looked into his eyes. "The housekeeper is the first batch of experimental bodies they created."

Lu Yunxiao had discovered this and as a result, he was hunted down.

Lu Jingye did not understand. "Based on your abilities, why were you unable to escape?"

After he asked that question, he thought of the woman Lu Yunxiao mentioned. He seemed to have thought of something and suddenly became silent.

Lu Yunxiao did not mention that woman instead, he said, "They captured me and wanted to make a clone of me, and then copy my memories over. I had escaped and something happened in the middle."

He was the one who chose to make himself braindead.

That was the only way that the other party was unable to copy his memories and create a clone that was an exact replica of him.

However, he did not expect that he would truly manage to escape and return back to himself in the end.

Lu Jingye tapped his finger on the cup and said, "Tell your sister-in-law about what you saw at the secret research base later on. She has a way to handle such things."

Lu Yunxiao looked at him in surprise.

Lu Jingye did not explain and instead, he lowered his eyes and took another sip.

Lu Jingye was originally a taciturn person. Since Lu Jingye did not explain, he did not ask either.

The two brothers each had a cup in their hands as they sat there silently and drank water.

The silence lasted for nearly two minutes before Lu Yunxiao spoke up again. "Their first goal was to destroy our Lu Family."

The reason for that was because of the two of them. One was a business genius and the other one possessed secret guards that could pose a threat to them. As a result, the Lu Family had to be removed first.

Lu Yunxiao clearly felt a little uncomfortable after talking too much and he took another sip of water.

Just as he was about to speak again, the sounds of a door opening could be heard from outside. Shortly afterwards was the sound of approaching footstep sounds.

Lu Jingye placed the glass on the table and stood up. "Your sister-in-law is here."

He headed to the door to welcome her.

When Zi Yi saw Lu Jingye walking out, her eyebrows furrowed together. She strode over with a lunchbox in her hand and she said discontentedly, "Didn't I tell you to sleep until dinner time? Who told you to get up so early?"

Lu Jingye took the lunchbox from her hand and held her hand with the other as they headed to the door. "I was thirsty and I woke up to have a drink."

Zi Yi stopped scolding him after hearing his explanation. "I prepared some tonic soup that helps to soothe your nerves and invigorate your Qi. Have a bowl later and you can continue sleeping after dinner."

"Alright."

The two of them headed inside together and saw Lu Yunxiao standing there looking at them.

Zi Yi looked at the glasses of water on the table and said with a smile,"It seems like the both of you already had a talk."

She then turned to Lu Jingye and said, "Ah Jing, go get a bowl and drink the tonic soup."

Lu Jingye nodded his head and walked to the kitchen to fetch a bowl. The three of them sat on the sofa, while Zi Yi and Lu Yunxiao looked at Lu Jingye drinking the soup.

The strong, pungent medicinal scent wafted in the air. Lu Jingye seemed as if he had not smelled anything and finished the bowl in three mouthfuls.

Zi Yi asked, "Is it delicious?"

Lu Jingye answered honestly, "No, it tastes bad."

Zi Yi giggled and said, "You're right that it isn't delicious. Those medicinal tonics that taste good don't have any good effects."

Lu Jingye clenched his hand and asked, "Shall I pour a bowl for you too?"

Zi Yi hastily shook her head and said as if it were a matter of fact, "I'm not going to drink such tonic soup. It tastes awful."

Lu Yunxiao who was seated next to them: "..." It tastes bad so you prepared it for my brother to drink?

1

Zi Yi made eye contact with Lu Yunxiao and she said with a smile, "It just so happens that we will be staying here for a few more days. I'll prepare some tonic soup for you too."

Lu Yunxiao's lips slightly moved and he very much wanted to say that he does not want to drink it.

However, under his brother's stare, he could not get the words out.

Lu Jingye answered on his behalf, "Sure."

Zi Yi was delighted with the response and said to them, "Lu Yi will be sending the food over later. We can chat for a while now before he arrives."

Lu Jingye nodded his head and told her what Lu Yunxiao had said to him just moments ago.

Zi Yi made a strange sound when she heard about human cloning.

"What's wrong?"

The two brothers looked at her at the same time.

Zi Yi said, "Such a backwards technology is only available at this time?"

The two brothers: "..."

Zi Yi added. "Human cloning isn't good. In fact, it's similar to our robots but the clones do not live as long as the robots. Moreover, many problems will start coming up when time passes."

Lu Jingye asked, "If there are clones that appear in front of us, are you able to make a device that can distinguish them?"

"My robots are able to tell them apart. I'll just set up a program for them to identify the clones when the time comes."

Zi Yi's tone of voice sounded very casual and this caused Lu Yunxiao to feel a little weird.

What kind of background did his sister-in-law have?

Why did she seem indifferent when they mentioned human clones?

Lu Jingye seemed to have seen through Lu Yunxiao's doubts and so he vaguely explained. "Yiyi is very talented in this aspect. You'll understand in the future."

Chapter 634: Lu Jingye Said: Yiyi is My Sunshine

After the meal, the three of them had a video call with Second Master Lu and Mrs. Lu.

Lu Yunxiao looked at his parents who seemed older than in his memories and his voice unconsciously trembled. "Father, Mother."

As soon as Mrs. Lu heard Lu Yunxiao's voice, her tears flowed out uncontrollably.

She hastily used a silk handkerchief to wipe her tears and said with a smile, "Yunxiao, you have finally woken up."

Recommended for you

"I'm sorry to have made the two of you worry."

"It doesn't matter as long as you are okay."

Mrs. Lu wiped her tears with a smile. She then reached out her hand to touch the screen. Even though she knew that she could not touch the real person, she felt assured deep down.

Lu Jianlin patted her on the shoulder. He looked at Lu Yunxiao with a stern expression to conceal his excitement deep down and said, "Take good care of yourself over there. Don't be in a rush to return. We will handle the matters outside."

Lu Yunxiao opened his mouth. He originally wanted to say something, but he could not manage to say anything because he felt emotional and ended up nodding his head.

Zi Yi looked at Lu Yunxiao's reaction and turned to Lu Jianlin and Mrs. Lu, and said with a smile, "Dad, Mom, you can rest assured. Ah Jing and I will take care of him so well that he will grow fat and round before we send him to you."

The two of them looked at Zi Yi and traces of gratitude flashed across their eyes.

Lu Jianlin said to her solemnly, "Little Zi, thank you."

"What's there to thank me for?" Zi Yi tilted her head and looked puzzled. "We are a family and it's my responsibility to cure my younger brother's illness."

As soon as Zi Yi said that, she smiled and asked Lu Jingye, "Ah Jing, is what I have said right?"

Lu Jingye resisted the urge to pull her into his arms and nodded. "Yes."

Lu Jianlin and Mrs. Lu revealed a smile at the same time.

Following that, Lu Jingye told Lu Jianlin about what Lu Yunxiao told him.

Lu Jianlin had a serious expression after he heard the story. "I will immediately report this matter to the people above."

He then added. "Yunxiao must train his body and only return after he has fully recovered."

He felt that there must still be people from Country A lurking in the capital.

Lu Jingye responded with a nod. "Yiyi will formulate a targeted rehabilitation training program for Yunxiao during this period of time."

"That would be for the best."

Lu Jianlin told them about the current outside situation.

Since the global economic war went haywire last night, the stocks of many companies have plummeted today.

"All the overseas subsidiary companies of the Lu Group have been lost and we are completely removed from the placement of the top 100 companies in the world."

Lu Jianlin was very calm when he said this. He clearly knew that his son had taken action last night.

However, he did not ask anything or bring up anything. He only said, "It's better this way. The first family is unable to manage such a large multinational group and now that they are only responsible for the business within the country, it shouldn't be much of a problem."

Lu Jingye responded with a nod and did not bring up what happened last night either.

The two of them chatted for a while before Lu Jianlin suddenly asked, "Little Zi, are you able to cure someone from the parasite now?"

"Yes."

Recommended for you

Zi Yi thought about it for a moment and said, "If you are in a rush to wake him up, I can send a robot over first... Elder Hu can go back together with the robot. He knows the cure too."

Other than the love parasite, Zi Yi had told Elder Hu the cure for other parasites as well.

With how Patriarch Lu treated Zi Yi, it was understandable that she did not wish to come back in person and treat him.

Lu Jianlin thought about it and nodded. "Okay."

As a result, this was how the matter was resolved and it was settled just like that.

They continued chatting for some time before ending the video call.

Lu Jingye sent Lu Yunxiao back to where he would be now staying.

Lu Yunxiao's residence was situated right next to theirs and it was also a small courtyard.

Walking into the living room, Lu Jingye patted Lu Yunxiao's shoulders and said, "Have a good rest tonight and we will discuss other things tomorrow."

Lu Yunxiao nodded his head.

Lu Jingye was about to turn around and leave when Lu Yunxiao called out to him, "Brother."

Lu Jingye stopped and turned to look at him.

Lu Yunxiao said, "After marrying sister-in-law, you're much warmer than before."

Lu Jingye was momentarily stunned before he smiled and nodded. "Yiyi is my sunshine and with her around I will always be warm."

Lu Yunxiao also smiled in return. He was the only one who knew that even though his brother usually seemed gentle and polite, it was merely a façade. Deep down, his heart was much stronger and colder than anyone else's.

Lu Jingye had told him in the past. Only someone with a strong and cold heart would be able to take charge of a large organization like the Lu Group.

How could someone who was constantly living in a place full of hidden knives be warm?

When Lu Jingye returned to his courtyard, he remained outside for a moment. He originally planned to think about something but just then, the door opened a small crack and Zi Yi's small head appeared from within.

"Ah Jing, why are you standing there?"

Lu Jingye looked at her and the corner of his lips curved up. "I was thinking if I should bring you some fruits."

Zi Yi said, "It's still snowing outside and it's so cold. Who needs you to go and get fruits? Hurry up and come in."

Having said that, the door opened wider.

The young lady had clearly gone to take a shower earlier and she was currently wearing pajamas right now.

She had worn outerwear on top of her pajamas.

When Lu Jingye saw how she was dressed, he was worried that she might catch a cold from the wind and hastily walked inside.

Zi Yi made way for him when he came closer.

Lu Jingye stepped inside and closed the door while Zi Yi immediately jumped into his embrace.

"My whole body is chilly, don't catch a cold."

While Lu Jingye said that, he hastily unbuttoned his outerwear and pulled her inside his embrace.

The two of them headed to the bedroom together.

Lu Jingye asked, "Do you have a plan for repairing your cousin's heart?"

"Yep, I have a plan," Zi Yi said, "It just so happens that the cell regeneration solution used on Yunxiao can be used to repair my cousin's heart. However, I have to take out her heart."

Zi Yi was too calm when she said that. It was as if to her, taking out a heart was not something surprising.

Lu Jingye was also used to her shocking words and thus, he was not surprised either. He merely asked, "How long will it take?"

"Around a week. It hasn't been long since my cousin was inflicted with the parasite. The parasite would only bite the heart once when the attack triggered it, and so it did not manage to damage her heart too much."

Lu Jingye responded with a nod.

He then asked, "What will Yunxiao be doing in the subsequent days?"

"Training."

Zi Yi then said, "The both of you can discuss what type of training to do, just as long as it does not overload his body. It's best to take it step by step."

Lu Jingye already had a plan in mind and said, "Alright, I'll make a training plan for him tomorrow morning."

The two of them arrived at the washroom as they chatted and Lu Jingye headed in to wash up.

Zi Yi took off the coat, ran to the bed, and wrapped the quilt around her body. She sat crossed-legged and only revealed her hand and head as she started swiping across the tablet.

When Lu Jingye came out of the washroom, he saw how her lips were curved up and she appeared to be gloating at someone or something. He walked over and sat in front of her before asking, "What has made you so happy?"

Zi Yi handed him the tablet and said, "I just found out that we caused UP Group to suffer hundreds of billions in losses last night."

Hearing this, Lu Jingye's lips had also curved up.

Chapter 635: You're Planning To Make a Few Families Fall Into Ruin?

The UP Group was one of the top ten global corporations globally and even though the loss of 100 billion was incapable of damaging their roots, it was still equivalent to cutting off a large piece of their flesh.

Zi Yi could imagine Rick gnashing his teeth in anger but finding that he was helpless to do anything.

Lu Jingye touched Zi Yi's face and said, "When I finish up here, I'll play around with the UP Group."

Zi Yi nodded her head, placed her tablet to one side, and pushed the blanket open as she said, "Quick, come join me."

Lu Jingye removed his shoes, walked over and hugged her waist as they both lay down on the bed.

Zi Yi leaned her head on his chest while her fingers played around with the button of his pajamas. "Someone has been helping him, Little Loli hasn't been able to approach him at all. After my examinations end, I'm thinking of heading over to meet with the helper that is backing him."

Lu Jingye held onto her naughty hand which had extended into his pajamas and was resting on his chest. "It just so happens that I will also be leaving for Country Em when your examinations end."

Zi Yi looked up at him. "We're rich now, are you still planning to go?"

"Yes. I'll act according to the previous plans."

Zi Yi thought about it and laughed. "You're planning to make a few families fall into ruin then?"

Lu Jingye did not answer, but it was obvious that was his intention.

The both of them chatted for a while more before Zi Yi urged Lu Jingye to sleep. "Stop talking and sleep early today. If you don't take a good rest now, your body won't be able to take it."

Having said that, she muttered at the end, "The previous time... your endurance time became shorter."

Lu Jingye: "..."

Lu Jingye held on to her waist tightly as he pondered if he should still take care of her the next time she asked him to stop, so that he can let her fully understand with her body if his endurance had dropped or not.

Early in the morning the next day, Zi Yi was awakened by a palm that was roaming all around her body.

Traces of electric currents spread all over her body.

She opened her eyes as she gasped for air.

In the next second, Lu Jingye's body flipped over and he was on top of her.

"Ah Jing?"

Lu Jingye said with a smile on his face, "To prove to you whether my endurance has dropped, I feel that we should have a good try this morning."

Ugh...

A hand of his had roamed upwards as he said that.

Zi Yi lightly moaned and said innocently, "When have I ever said your endurance has dropped?"

He had wronged her.

"Last night."

Lu Jingye remembered it clearly.

"I didn't!"

Zi Yi argued back. "I only said that you haven't had a good night's sleep for the past few days."

That was clearly what she wanted to express instead.

Recommended for you

Lu Jingye did not bother listening to her explanation and quickly removed her pajamas in a smooth manner.

Following that, he did not even give her the chance to speak and sealed her lips.

...

This time around, no matter how Zi Yi pleaded for him to stop, Lu Jingye did not let her off easily anymore.

It lasted until the man had his fill. Zi Yi did not even have the strength to lift her fingers and only then did the battle end.

Zi Yi laid on his chest and asked while panting, "What time is it now?"

Lu Jingye took his phone and took a glance. "It's 9 a.m."

"..."

The next second, Zi Yi buried her head in the dip of his collarbone and complained bitterly. "You're a big, bad guy."

Lu Jingye massaged her with one hand and he asked, "Do you think I've proved myself sufficiently? We can still continue if not."

"Enough, it's enough!" Zi Yi raised her head and revealed a pitiful expression. "My waist hurts... and it feels uncomfortable down there."

Lu Jingye continued giving her a massage as he asked in a stern voice, "Will you say such words again in the future?"

Zi Yi's mind started working and in the next second, the hand massaging her waist reached downwards.

"No! I won't say it anymore." Zi Yi admitted to her mistakes in a rather spineless manner. "I won't say it ever again. You are the best!"

Lu Jingye was satisfied with her response and made sure to remember her words of acquittal clearly.

The both of them rested on the bed for some time before they got up from bed and went to wash up.

As they woke up late today, Lu Jingye got his subordinates to deliver the meal over instead.

After breakfast, Zi Yi headed to the lab, while Lu Jingye headed for Lu Yunxiao's courtyard.

Elder Hu waited in the lab early in the morning. After treating Lu Yunxiao, he was curious as to how Zi Yi was planning to treat Dou Xiangling.

Elder Hu had clearly been waiting too long and at the sight of Zi Yi making her way over at this time, he asked, "Little Zi, don't tell me you guys stayed up late again last night?"

Zi Yi nodded without the slightest trace of guilt. "Yes, that's why we woke up so late in the morning."

Having said that, they headed for the ward Dou Xiangling was staying in.

Elder Hu was still lecturing her along the way. "Don't think that you can burn the midnight oil just because you're still young. When you reach my age, you will regret it."

Zi Yi smiled at him. "We don't burn the midnight oil every day."

If they really did burn the midnight oil every day, there was no need to mention that her Ah Jing could not take it, but even she herself can't endure it either.

Elder Hu was completely unaware of the thoughts inside Zi Yi's head and was rather satisfied with her attitude, which made him stop his lecture.

When the both of them arrived at the ward and saw Dou Xiangling lying on the bed, Elder Hu asked, "Little Zi, what are your treatment plans for her?"

"I'll take out her heart."

"Ah?"

Elder Hu was startled. "If you take out her heart, can she still remain alive?"

"Yes."

Elder Hu was silent for a long time before he said, "I really can't imagine how you are able to take out someone's heart and put it back after storing it outside for a few days... How will you do it?"

When Elder Hu asked that question, his heart had unconsciously started beating faster. He was nervous and a little excited.

He subconsciously felt that Zi Yi was able to accomplish this feat.

Zi Yi glanced at Elder Hu's expression and pointed toward the nutrient solution chamber placed at the side.

"Elder Hu, don't underestimate the function of the nutrient solution chamber. It can maintain all the normal functions in a person's body and in addition, I will seal off all the acupuncture points near her heart when I am taking out her heart. It won't be a problem."

"But there are numerous blood vessels in the heart area. What if these blood vessels burst when the heart is taken out?"

"They won't. I prepared a mechanical heart, so that when my cousin's heart is taken out, the mechanical heart will immediately replace the original one. The mechanical heart can automatically adjust to all the pressures within the blood vessels."

"...!"

Zi Yi looked at Elder Hu's eyes widened in shock and she chuckled and said, "Elder Hu, calm down."

Elder Hu: "..."

How could he possibly calm down?

His heart was beating extremely fast. Elder Hu swallowed his saliva with great difficulty and in the next second, his voice suddenly rose in pitch. "Little Zi, how did you come up with this method? Have you ever done such an experiment before?"

"Yes, I have."

She had practiced this backward experiment in the virtual space several times. In the end, she found it a waste of time and put it on hold.

Elder Hu's outlook was overturned by Zi Yi's words, but he was also looking forward to seeing how Zi Yi could complete this operation.

However, Zi Yi suddenly said, "The Lu Family wants to request for you to treat Patriarch Lu of the parasite poison."

Elder Hu was stunned for a moment before he asked, "When will I be heading over?"

He hasn't been in contact with the outside world for quite some time, but Zi Yi did tell him about Patriarch Lu's condition when she arrived here.

He thought that Zi Yi would be the one treating him instead.

"Of course, the sooner the better."

After Zi Yi said that, she headed over to Dou Xiangling's side.

Elder Hu tagged along and his expression revealed his internal struggle. "Little Zi, when do you plan to operate on your cousin."

If he did not watch Zi Yi complete the operation, he felt that he would not be in the right frame of mind to perform well when he went back to treat Patriarch Lu.

Zi Yi saw through his thoughts and said, "I will be operating today."

She had gotten the robots in charge of experiments back in her villa to create the mechanical heart and it would be delivered at noon.

Chapter 636: I Wrote a Tonic Prescription for You and Your Brother

Zi Yi did quite a lot of preparatory work before the mechanical heart was delivered.

Elder Hu originally wanted to stay by her side and act as an assistant, only to realize that this operation, which Zi Yi intended to do, had far exceeded his range of knowledge. In the end, he grabbed a notebook and pen as he followed Zi Yi around. He would raise questions whenever he encountered something he did not know.

His attitude was so serious as if he was a student.

When Zi Yi mentioned technical terms he did not quite understand, he would write them down first and then make a marking next to them, as he planned to look them up after he leaves the secret base.

"How can you block all the blood vessels at the same time?"

"Would the patient's body reject the mechanical heart when it is placed inside?"

"How can the mechanical heart connect to so many blood vessels at the same time?"

Zi Yi answered every single one of his questions without the slightest irritation.

In the end, Elder Hu wished that he could acknowledge Zi Yi as his teacher instead.

A few hours passed just like that and the robot had finally delivered the mechanical heart Zi Yi asked for.

The one who brought the heart in was Lu Jingye.

Lu Jingye glanced at the two new additional medical equipments inside the room, then at Dou Xiangling who was submerged inside the nutrient solution. He then reminded the two of them, who seemed to have lost track of time. "It's already afternoon, it's time to have lunch."

Elder Hu was not in the mood to eat at all and he said to Zi Yi, "Little Zi, you can head over to have lunch. I wish to take a look at this mechanical heart."

The mechanical heart was packed in a special container and it resembled the form of a real heart. It was pulsating and the blood vessels were exactly the same as a real heart.

"This is really a mechanical heart?" Elder Hu could not believe it despite seeing it with his eyes.

Zi Yi answered affirmatively, "Yes."

She then pressed on the container and the mechanical heart soon opened. There were many intricate tiny parts inside that would make one dizzy from just looking at it.

Elder Hu's eyes widened with shock.

Sometime later, he asked Zi Yi, "Little Zi, is there anything you don't know how to do?"

Zi Yi tilted her head and thought for a moment. She then turned to look at Lu Jingye and she said with a smile, "I can't cook."

Lu Jingye thought of her laziness in that aspect and he could not help but reach out his hand to pinch her cheeks.

Zi Yi giggled in response.

Elder Hu looked at the two young people and there was a smile in his eyes.

He said, "It's good that you can't cook. If you were good at everything, there wouldn't be any space left for others in the world."

Zi Yi disagreed with him. "No way. I am only knowledgeable about many things on a superficial level. Compared to those who specialize in a certain skill, I am much lacking."

Elder Hu found what she said reasonable and he changed the topic. "Since the mechanical heart has been delivered, will you be able to operate on Little Dou shortly?"

"Yes."

Lu Jingye who was standing next to them saw that they were about to start another round of discussion and he hastily said, "Go and have lunch first, or else you will be hungry in the evening."

Having said that, he even specially added. "Yiyi nearly fainted from hunger the previous time."

Recommended for you

How could Elder Hu still insist on holding ​Zi Yi back to start the operation after hearing his words? He hastily said, "Alright, let's go and have lunch first."

Zi Yi glanced at Lu Jingye who was making things up with a straight face and the corner of her lips curved up.

The three of them arrived at the canteen.

At this time, Lu Yunxiao and the few managers were all present.

As Lu Yunxiao sat there, he would unconsciously exude a strong and chilly aura. Lu Yi, who was his subordinate, was giving off a similar aura.

Thus, it made it hard on the other managers present.

During ordinary days, the four of them would still converse when they were in the canteen. However, they sat there in silence today.

When the three of them came in, the few managers had unconsciously breathed out a sigh of relief.

Just then, Lu Yunxiao greeted Zi Yi. "Sister-in-law."

Zi Yi nodded her head in response and headed over together with Lu Jingye to take a seat at his table.

Elder Hu headed over to sit together with the managers.

The managers clearly had questions to ask and before the chef served the dishes, a few of them winked at each other. In the end, Wang Biao was the one who spoke up. "Second Young Master, now that Third Young Master is awake, will we be leaving the secret base soon?"

It was a lie to say that they were not excited. They had been isolated from the outside world for half a year and they missed the days when they completed their tasks freely with their partners.

Lu Jingye swept his gaze over them and said, "This place will be changed into a bodyguard base in the future. There will subsequently be people sent over and so there's no need for you to leave."

"Really?"

In fact, it did not matter to them whether they left or not. What they missed was the previous atmosphere of mingling with everyone.

"Yes. This place will be transformed into an S-class training camp and it will be under my name."

The managers were all excited.

An S-class training camp was equivalent to the highest tier of training camp within the Lu Family and not to mention, it would only belong to the Second Young Master. This meant that they would become a group of bodyguards that surpassed the Lu Family's elite bodyguards.

Zi Yi glanced at the managers who were excited as if they were going to fly up in the skies in the next second. She then said with a smile, "We will be able to openly drink alcohol in the future."

Her words caused Wang Biao to be stunned for a moment.

The next second, he seemed to have thought of something and he looked at Zi Yi warily.

Zi Yi said in a casual tone, "I heard that plum alcohol brewed with snow water is especially fragrant."

Wang Biao: "..."

Second Young Madam, please do not mention anything else! I'll brew alcohol for you!

Wang Biao took a peek at Lu Jingye out of guilt.

When he saw Lu Jingye having a word with Lu Yunxiao, he calmed down a little.

Zi Yi turned away and the corner of her lips curved up as she continued eating lunch.

Lu Jingye turned his head and picked up some food for her as he said in a low voice, "Don't be naughty."

Zi Yi wrinkled her nose at him and started eating. At the same time, she raised her eyebrow and said, "I wrote a tonic prescription for you and your brother respectively. Get someone to boil the medicine for you later."

Lu Jingye nodded his head. "Alright."

Lu Yunxiao who was seated next to them: "..."

After lunch, Zi Yi and Elder Hu returned to the lab.

This time around, the both of them stayed there until 8 p.m before they finally came out.

There was an unconcealed excitement on Elder Hu's face. His footsteps were light, as he was in a happy mood. "If this technology can be widely used in the field, heart diseases can be completely treated!"

When they came out, they saw Lu Jingye standing in the hall waiting for them.

Lu Jingye asked at the sight of them coming out, "Is your cousin's operation done now?"

"Yep." Zi Yi nodded her head.

Lu Jingye looked toward Elder Hu and said, "If that's the case, I'll have to trouble Elder Hu to leave the base tomorrow and head over to the capital."

Elder Hu was fine with it, but he still felt a little reluctant. "Little Zi, you have to tell me the reaction of the patient every day. If you don't, I'm pretty sure I won't even be able to fall asleep."

"Alright."

The three of them headed out together.

The wind at night time was very strong. Coupled with how it had been snowing during this period of time, Zi Yi shivered due to the chilly wind.

The next second, Lu Jingye engulfed her in his arms.

Lu Jingye clearly knew she was adverse to the cold, so he specially wore a knee-length overcoat when he came to pick her up.

A familiar heat had instantly surrounded her and Zi Yi looked up at him.

Chapter 637: When This Child Acts Willful, She Is Really a Handful

Lu Jingye wrapped her tightly in his arms and said to Elder Hu, "There's going to be heavy snow tonight, so Elder Hu you can leave later in the day tomorrow."

Elder Hu looked at the couple and nodded his head with a smile. "It just so happens that I still have some notes to sort out."

He suddenly thought of something and asked Zi Yi, "Little Zi, you said that Patriarch Lu's nerves are damaged by the parasite. Is there any way to repair them?"

Zi Yi pursed her lips, while she acted as if she was unwilling to say the solution.

A few seconds later, she looked toward Lu Jingye.

He just so happened to be looking at her too.

He did not say anything, and he clearly wanted her to decide for herself.

Zi Yi thought about it for a moment and said, "Yes, it's possible."

However, she added. "But I don't want to treat him."

Elder Hu: "..."

When this child acts willfully, she really becomes a handful.

Zi Yi said, "But I can tell you the way to treat him, just that it's none of my business if you manage to treat him or not."

Elder Hu controlled his lips that were curving up as he hastily said, "Don't tell me right away. It's best that you write it down or perhaps, you could send me a recording. As you know, when one gets old, our memory will deteriorate. I'm worried that I won't even remember what you said after I've stepped out of the base."

Zi Yi stared at him.

Elder Hu had his hands behind his back and he said in all seriousness, "What's more, some of the things you will probably mention will also involve knowledge of other fields and I don't understand them. If I don't have it written down, I won't even know how to look those things up when the time comes."

Zi Yi had nothing to say in response.

"Alright then, I'll write it out for you tonight."

"That's the right way."

The two of them sent Elder Hu to his accommodation before returning to their courtyard.

Before entering the courtyard, Lu Jingye said to Zi Yi, "Yunxiao is at our place."

Zi Yi asked, "Have you two had dinner?"

"Not yet, we were waiting for you."

While chatting they made their way into the courtyard.

It had started snowing heavily and there was already a thick layer of snow accumulated inside the courtyard. As they walked on the snow, their footprints were immediately printed into the snow.

Ziyi suddenly stopped walking when she was halfway inside the courtyard. She took out her head from within Lu Jingye's embrace and glanced over to the orange tree at the corner of the yard. She then pulled on Lu Jingye's clothes. "Ah Jing, are there still oranges on the tree?"

Oranges could continue growing on the tree in this season and they would not spoil even if it was snowing heavily.

Lu Jingye tilted his head towards the tree and he had indeed seen several oranges. He then asked her, "Do you want to eat them?"

Zi Yi nodded her head and called out Shadow.

"Go and pluck two oranges."

Shadow leaped into the air and he directly landed on the roof of the tree and plucked two oranges.

Recommended for you

Lu Jingye took the oranges from Shadow and only then did they continue making their way inside.

There was a fireplace inside and Zi Yi instantly felt warmer as soon as she pushed open the door and went in.

Zi Yi jumped out from Lu Jingye's embrace, while Lu Jingye took off the overcoat. He then passed her one of the oranges. After Zi Yi took the orange, Lu Jingye headed toward the kitchen. "I'll go and serve the dishes."

While Zi Yi was peeling the orange, she turned to look at Lu Yunxiao who was standing there and looking at them.

Zi Yi did not say anything and it was the same with Lu Yunxiao.

It lasted until Zi Yi finished the orange and she asked, "Do you want to eat some oranges?"

Lu Yunxiao replied curtly, "No."

Zi Yi did not act reserved with him at all. Upon hearing that he did not want to eat the orange, she took back her hands and ate what she offered. When she finished everything, she walked over to him and looked up at his cold expression.

Lu Yunxiao kept his gaze forward and there was not the slightest change in his expression. However, he was thinking deep down, "Sister-in-law is weird!"

1

Just then the sound of footsteps could be heard coming out of the kitchen from behind them.

Lu Jingye looked at the both of them standing face to face and he said with an impending headache, "Yiyi, come over and have dinner."

Zi Yi moved her attention away from Lu Yunxiao's face and walked past him as she said to Lu Jingye, "I just observed your brother just now. You imitated your brother's expression well."

Lu Yunxiao who was standing over there: "..."

So the reason why you had been staring at me was because of this...

1

Lu Jingye glanced at Lu Yunxiao who was standing there expressionlessly. The corner of his lips curved up and he immediately restrained himself and said, "Yunxiao, come over and have dinner."

Only then did Lu Yunxiao make his way over.

The three of them sat down and Lu Jingye scooped a bowl of soup for Zi Yi.

She did not wish to have soup and so, she said, "It's a little cold tonight. Why don't we have some alcohol to warm ourselves?"

Having said that, she asked Lu Yunxiao, "Do you know how to drink?"

Before he had the chance to speak, Lu Jingye said, "It's not suitable for him to drink right now."

Zi Yi's eyes gleamed and she smiled at him in a flattering manner. "It's not suitable for him, but it's suitable for us!"

How could Lu Jingye possibly resist that smile of hers? He ended up saying, "We don't have any alcohol here.

"That's easy."

As soon as Zi Yi said that, she called out Shadow and commanded him. "Go to Wang Biao and borrow a jar from him."

She then had a sudden thought. "I feel bad for borrowing from him so often. How about this, tell him that I'll give him a mechanical arm in a few days. It'll be easier for him to collect fruits in the mountains next time."

Lu Yunxiao: "..."

After Shadow left, the three of them continued having dinner.

While eating Zi Yi casually asked, "Yunxiao, the laboratory you saw, what does it look like and where is it located?"

Her question caused Lu Yunxiao to turn serious in an instant.

He said, "It's on an isolated island near Country A. There's a powerful magnetic field jammer there and I can't locate its exact coordinates at all."

"This is normal. Then do you know which direction it is from Country A?"

Country A was surrounded by the sea on three sides and it was a peninsula country. At present, it was the country with the most advanced technology and so, they had been unbridled towards other countries many times.

"The East."

Zi Yi thought about it and guessed. "It should be the opposite of eastwards, so westwards."

The two brothers looked at her with an odd look.

Zi Yi said, "You should have heard of space black holes and they are basically always accompanied by magnetic fields..."

She then briefly explained to them some knowledge about the transfer of magnetic fields.

The two brothers fell into deep thought after hearing her explanation.

Zi Yi knew that some of the knowledge she mentioned involved cosmology and they might not necessarily understand it, even if she explained it. "When my future technology lab is built, I'll make something for you that can shield you from these types of magnetic fields. In the future, if you were to encounter such a situation again, there's no need to worry about being trapped inside or being unable to get out."

Lu Yunxiao was a descendant of the Lu Family who was skilled in ancient kung fu and his skills were indisputable. However, if he countered this type of advanced technology, he would still be helpless against it.

The way Zi Yi said it sounded too effortless. Lu Yunxiao looked at her with a taut expression as if he did not believe her.

It should be said that no one could possibly believe her if they were in his situation.

Lu Jingye pinched Zi Yi's hands and motioned to her. "Eat first."

He then said to Lu Yunxiao, "Whatever Yiyi says, she will be able to do it. What you have to focus on now is to recover and get better."

Lu Yunxiao nodded his head.

The three of them continued eating dinner.

Not long later, Shadow had arrived with the jar of alcohol.

Zi Yi asked Shadow, "Did Wang Biao say anything?"

Shadow had unexpectedly imitated Wang Biao's expressionless face. "If Second Young Madam wishes to drink the next time, you can just come and take it. There's no need to inform me."

Zi Yi blinked her eyes and asked Lu Jingye, "What does Wang Biao mean by that?"

Lu Jingye was smiling as he said, "He already knows that I'm aware of this, so he's telling you that there's no need for you to threaten him anymore."

"Pft! Is he exposing himself because of despair?"

Chapter 638: Zi Yi Said: Hubby, You're the Best

"Wang Biao is relying on the fact that because Yunxiao has regained consciousness, even if you were to punish him, you would not give him a severe punishment, right?"

Zi Yi felt that that was the case.

Lu Jingye smiled without saying anything as he stood up and headed to the kitchen to grab two bowls.

Lu Yunxiao couldn't drink alcohol yet and so, Lu Jingye poured only a bowl for himself and Zi Yi.

Zi Yi took a sip and clicked her tongue as she said, "If Wang Biao retires from being a bodyguard, get him to open a winery. With his wine-making skills, his alcohol would certainly sell well. I will visit his shop every day to buy from him."

"If you wish to drink the alcohol he brews, there's no need for him to open a winery."

Zi Yi suddenly thought of how she asked Wang Biao to brew some plum alcohol during lunch and she started giggling.

Lu Yunxiao who was sitting opposite her looked at both of them.

The heart-warming interaction between the two made him feel warm deep down.

He suddenly had an inkling of why his brother fell in love with Zi Yi.

Just then, Zi Yi suddenly asked Lu Yunxiao a question, "Yunxiao, what alcohol do you prefer? I'll get our Wang Biao to brew more when the time comes?"

Lu Yunxiao paused for a moment and opened his mouth. He originally wanted to converse like them by talking more. However, when the words came to his mouth, he only managed to get one word out. "Anything."

As the leader of the secret guards, he did not have much time to drink and so, there was nothing that he was particularly fond of.

Zi Yi was a little unsatisfied with his response and decided to ask Lu Jingye instead, "Ah Jing, what alcohol does Yunxiao like to drink?"

Lu Jingye glanced in Lu Yunxiao's direction and said, "Oftentimes, Yunxiao has to go out on missions and so he doesn't have much time to drink."

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment before he added. "But he prefers to drink alcohol that is on the colder side."

Lu Yunxiao looked at Lu Jingye and felt touched.

Sure enough, only his older brother understood him the best.

Zi Yi thought about it for a moment before she said, "Well, it's indeed unsuitable for you to drink when you go out on missions so often. After you return to the capital, I'll make some blood lotus alcohol for you. Have some when you are not on a mission, it's beneficial for your body."

Lu Yunxiao replied in gratitude, "Thank you."

Zi Yi smiled and continued drinking together with Lu Jingye.

After dinner, the three of them sat on the sofa. Lu Jingye and Zi Yi discussed the training plan for Lu Yunxiao.

Zi Yi would occasionally give some advice and soon, it was 10 p.m.

Lu Jingye returned to his own courtyard while Zi Yi and Lu Jingye headed to their bedrooms.

While it was still early, Zi Yi leaned on the bed and contacted Zhou Shiyu after she washed up.

Zhou Shiyu had returned to the capital during their wedding. Before she had the chance to have a conversation with him, she had left the capital together with Lu Jingye.

Following that, the news of them getting into a traffic accident was spread out and the Zhou Family brothers had both panicked.

Zi Yi only contacted Zhou Shiyu two days later. When she contacted him, she could discern the relief from his tone of voice.

When the phone call connected, Zhou Shiyu's voice could be heard from the other end. "Boss."

Zi Yi asked, "Are you still in the capital now?"

Recommended for you

Zhou Shiyu answered, "Yes, I'm still here."

Following that, he added. "I can leave right away."

"No need. If you have something to attend to at home, you can stay there for another day or two. I'll tell you what you have to do when you return to Country X."

Zi Yi had made arrangements for what he had to do from then on.

After she finished talking, she was about to hang up the call, when just then, Zhou Shiyu stopped her. "Boss, hold on for a moment."

"What's the matter?"

"Little Jin told me to ask you something. You previously mentioned that next year's racing competition would be held in [Future] Racing Club and so do your words still count?"

Evidently, Zhou Shijin was right beside Zhou Shiyu right now. However, the proud man did not wish to ask the question himself and so, he got his brother to be the messenger.

Only then did Zi Yi remember this matter. She thought about it for a moment and said, "Of course, it counts. However, tell Zhou Shijin that he has to find the people I want first, before talking about it."

There was a period of silence on Zhou Shiyu's side and he had clearly covered up the phone's microphone. At the same time, Zhou Shijin's muffled voice could be heard. Sometime later, Zhou Shiyu said, "Alright, Little Jin says that he will definitely gather the people you need."

Zi Yi clicked her tongue and told him. "Tell Proud Zhou that those people he finds must have strong psychological qualities and they must neither complain about being tired or stuff like that after a little bit of training."

Zi Yi's words immediately caused Zhou Shijin to make a dissatisfied comment. "Who is Proud Zhou?!"

Zi Yi hung up the phone to prevent her ears from bursting.

She put away the phone and looked sideways at Lu Jingye, who was seated next to her with a laptop while he did some work.

Lu Jingye sensed her gaze and turned to look in her direction.

Zi Yi leaned her head on his shoulders and asked, "Ah Jing, I wish to apply for next year's international racing competition."

Lu Jingye thought about it and said, "I know someone from the International Racing Association. Which month are you thinking of? I'll have a word with him."

Zi Yi stretched out her head to give him a peck on the cheeks as her eyes curved into crescent moons. "Hubby, you're the best. April will do."

Sure enough, Lu Jingye had his means and there was no need for her to think of a method herself.

Lu Jingye's lips curved up and he raised his hand to stroke her head. Following that, he continued working on his laptop.

Zi Yi did not bother him either and continued swiping on her tablet.

Elder Hu did not leave until noon the next day.

Before he left, he even specially reminded Zi Yi. "Little Zi, remember to contact me every day in the future. You got it?"

Zi Yi nodded her head and said, "Alright, I got it."

Only then did Elder Hu leave in peace.

After Elder Hu left, Lu Jingye would accompany Lu Yunxiao to train during the day, while Zi Yi stayed cooped up in the lab.

In the evening, they would have dinner together with the managers.

Five days passed by very quickly and Lu Yunxiao's physical condition was getting better every day.

On the morning of the sixth day, Lu Jingye said to Zi Yi, "I will be heading out with Yunxiao today. We will try our best to return at night to have dinner. What do you want? I'll bring something back for you."

Zi Yi did not have anything she wanted. She thought for a second and said, "Go check up on Grandpa and the rest for me then."

The robot Zi Yi used to pretend to be Dou Xiangling had left for the capital the next day after they left for the secret base. The robot had taken students from M.Uni to tour around and get inspiration. In fact, Zi Yi was actually a little worried about the elderly.

Lu Jingye nodded his head. "Alright."

After breakfast, Lu Jingye and Lu Yunxiao left the secret base. They had also brought Lu Yi and Wang Biao along with them.

Zi Yi headed to the lab.

After five days, Dou Xiangling's heart was more or less completely repaired.

Zi Yi checked the various data reports of the heart before she headed off to do other experiments.

When Zi Yi headed to the canteen for lunch, she suddenly recalled something and asked Tian Hongliang, "How is Zhang Hanyu?"

Tian Hongliang said, "He froze to death."

1

So what had happened was, after Zhang Hanyu chased the rat into the mountains, he managed to locate it through the connected heart pain. He originally planned to leave the mountains because he felt that he would be safe if he managed to make his way out.

However, unexpectedly it started snowing heavily that day and he could only find a cave to shelter in from the snow.

However, the temperature in the mountains was too cold. In addition, Zhang Hanyu felt unwilling and he grew a strong hatred for Zi Yi and her group. The more he thought about them, the more his heart hurt, and the rat in his embrace died from the pain.

Subsequently, he had also died.

When Tian Hongliang and the rest found him, the human and the rat had already been frozen into a popsicle.

Chapter 639: You Didn't Come Back Yet and I Couldn't Sleep

After Tian Hongliang talked about Zhang Hanyu's ending, he even mentioned how he had handled his corpse.

"I was worried that the parasite inside the rat and his body would escape and so I set them on fire. Second Young Madam, would that suffice?"

Zi Yi nodded her head. "It's ok. The parasite would also die after the death of the host. It would not cause harm to others."

Zi Yi thought about the Gu Master that had remained locked up all this while, and she planned to take care of him too.

After lunch, Zi Yi went to meet with the Gu Master.

There was no need to mention how fearful the Gu Master was when he saw Zi Yi. "Don't come over! I've told you everything you asked me for and I really don't know anything else!"

Zi Yi's lips curved up and she said, "I don't have anything to ask you either."

She snapped her fingers in the air.

When the Gu Master saw the person appearing in front of him, he was so shocked that his eyes nearly popped out of his head.

"Don't the both of you resemble each other?" Zi Yi pointed at the robot that looked exactly the same as the Gu Master and said, "He shall be you from now on."

The Gu Master's eyes were full of fear. "What do you mean by that?"

"It's just as you've thought. "

"No... No- no! You said that you would let me go if I told you everything about the parasites!"

"What I said was that I would pardon your ancestors and descendants."

After Zi Yi corrected him, she said, "From the moment you harmed my cousin, your fate has already been sealed. Therefore, you shouldn't have harmed anyone in the first place."

The Gu Master's expression turned pale in an instant. He then started talking as if throwing caution to the wind. "My body is full of poison and I have cultivated many types of parasites in my body. If you dare to kill me, I'll take you with me."

"Then do you want to give it a try?"

As soon as she said that, the robot took out a nice-looking porcelain bottle.

When the Gu Master saw the bottle, he gasped in horror as he thought of the parasites that were roasted to death from the poison.

"Please let me go." The Gu Master was really afraid and he only wanted to save his life right now. "As long as you let me off, I can do anything for you."

Zi Yi sneered. "You're someone who can easily harm others for the sake of money. Do you think I will believe your words?"

After Zi Yi said that, the robot swiftly headed towards the Gu Master and grabbed onto his jaw with one hand. The robot then raised him up as he struggled and it poured the contents that were inside the porcelain bottle into the Gu Master's mouth.

When it was done, it did not leave right away. Instead, one hand was placed on the Gu Master's forehead.

The robot was replicating his memories.

The moment the Gu Master was released, he immediately shoved his fingers down his throat in an attempt to vomit out the poison.

However, his efforts were futile. Soon, crackling sounds could be heard coming out of his throat.

Very soon, all the parasites in his body began to riot.

"AH-!"

Miserable screams instantly filled the whole room.

Zi Yi looked at the Gu Master who was rolling about on the floor and screaming. Her expression turned colder.

There were good and bad Gu Masters and clearly, this Gu Master and the clan master he mentioned were all rotten to their bones.

Keeping such a person alive was simply a walking disaster.

Zi Yi looked on for a while more before she exited the room.

She stood outside for some time and called out, "Shadow."

Shadow appeared out of thin air. "Master."

"Copy your memories to Shadow IV. Get him to change into the Gu Master's skin and make a trip to Southern Xinjiang."

Zi Yi originally planned to get Shadow IV to get rid of the clan master. However, she changed her mind and said, "Find out who the person is that is in contact with the Gu Master and replace that person too."

"Yes."

After she finished giving the commands, Zi Yi returned to Dou Xiangling's ward.

The day passed by very quickly. When it was time for dinner, Lu Jingye and Lu Yunxiao had yet to return.

However, Lu Jingye gave her a call at around 4 p.m. to inform her of the reason for the delay.

The two brothers made a trip back to the capital today mainly to meet with their family members. Moreover, Lu Yunxiao also got to know what Lu Jingye had done on his behalf while he was unconscious these past few months. At the same time, they deployed their men to find out who the spies were in the capital.

Lu Jingye only returned to the secret base at around 11 p.m. at night.

When he returned, he specially warmed himself up in front of the fireplace in the living room before he entered the bedroom.

He did not expect to make eye contact with Zi Yi's beautiful eyes the moment he opened the door.

"Why haven't you gone to sleep yet?"

Lu Jingye walked over to the bed and watched the young woman, who was wrapped up in the quilt, while only exposing her head as she kept her gaze at the door. He felt an inexplicable sense of warmth deep down.

Zi Yi stretched out her hand to grab him as she said, "You didn't come back yet and I couldn't sleep."

Lu Jingye quickly put back her hand under the covers and said, "Don't take out your hand, it's cold."

He then lowered himself and gave her a kiss on the forehead. "I will be sure to come back early in the future."

He secretly swore to himself that he would not return so late in the future.

Zi Yi responded with a nod.

Lu Jingye stood up and said, "I'll go take a shower."

Having said that, he made his way to the bathroom.

He took a quick shower and came to bed.

Zi Yi waited for him to lie down before she burrowed into his embrace.

Lu Jingye hugged her tightly and told her about what he did today.

"Yunxiao and I made a trip to the headquarters of the secret guards."

Both of them had disguised their appearance when they went there and they did not face the others with their real appearances.

"We decided to get the robot to disguise as him for the following period of time. There must be spies in the secret guards and we can make use of this opportunity to identify them."

Zi Yi nodded her head. She also felt that there were spies among the secret guards.

She said, "The other party must be suspicious of the robot. Otherwise, the robot would not have encountered so many assassination attempts either."

The robot had encountered several assassination attempts during this period of them and all of them happened within the capital.

Lu Jingye responded with a nod. "Therefore we plan to identify those people who are lurking among the secret guards first."

In the past, the enemy had always been hidden in the dark and it was now time for them to take the initiative instead.

The two of them conversed for a while more before they fell asleep.

The next day, when Zi Yi finished checking on Dou Xiangling's heart, she decided to do the operation today.

But before she started the operation, Zi Yi informed Elder Hu about it.

Elder Hu was clearly even more excited than she was. "Little Zi, record the operation and let me see it when you return."

Zi Yi would certainly not record a video and she said, "If you wish to see the operation, I can head to the lab to show you with an experimental body. I won't record my cousin's operation."

Dou Xiangling was a girl and the operation she was about to undergo was heart surgery. No matter what, Zi Yi could not possibly record a video.

She was someone who was protective of her own kin and she was afraid that the video might spread around in the future.

Elder Hu seemed to have guessed her thoughts and said in understanding, "All right then, I'll wait for you to return and demonstrate this operation to me in person."

Following that, he told her about Patriarch Lu's condition.

"I have already detoxified the parasite poison and I am currently treating his brain nerves."

Speaking of this, Elder Hu suddenly sighed and said, "Little Zi, I have heard many things related to you and I can understand why you are unwilling to treat Patriarch Lu."

In particular, the First Madam had bad-mouthed Zi Yi a lot in front of him. He was so angry that he had directly argued back.

Of course, Elder Hu did not tell Zi Yi about this.

They exchanged a few more words with each other and he hung up the phone.

During lunch, Zi Yi told Lu Jingye about how she was going to insert Dou Xiangling's heart back into her body.

Zi Yi then started the surgery for Dou Xiangling in the afternoon. 

Chapter 640: Do You Want Me To Carry You

Lu Jingye walked over to her the moment she came out.

"How is it?"

"The operation is complete and the various data results of my cousin are normal."

Lu Jingye nodded his head. He had absolute trust in the words she said.

However, Lu Yunxiao looked at her with a surprised gaze.

Zi Yi smiled at him. "If you have anything to ask, you can go ahead and ask."

Lu Yunxiao was silent for a few seconds before he asked, "How did you accomplish that?"

When Lu Yunxiao heard that Zi Yi would be taking out a patient's heart to repair it for a few days before putting it back in, it was impossible for him not to be shocked. He had never heard of such an operation before.

However, his sister-in-law acted as if it was a small operation and this was what made Lu Yunxiao the most surprised.

Zi Yi saw how Lu Yunxiao clearly looked as if he was curious but still managed to maintain his expressionless face. She suddenly had the thought of teasing him and said, "As long as preparatory work is done well, such as setting up the program of changing the heart, there's nothing surprising about this type of operation."

Lu Yunxiao: "..."

He was thinking deep down with an expressionless face on the outside: "If this is not considered surprising, then what type of operation would be able to surprise you?"

Lu Jingye saw how his wife was deliberately bullying his brother and he raised his hand to stroke her head. "Don't be naughty."

Zi Yi gave him a grin and only then did she explain to Lu Yunxiao seriously. "This type of operation of taking out the heart, only I am capable of it at present. It involves a wide range of fields and it is not pure medical knowledge."

Lu Yunxiao was silent. After several seconds, he asked, "Then will you promote this type of operation?"

"No," Zi Yi said, "No one can do it except for me. I'm also not a doctor that specializes in medicine and if everyone comes to me, then won't I end up exhausted?"

Lu Yunxiao: "..."

He had no words to refute her argument.

Lu Jingye, on the other end, agreed with her reasoning. "The development of humans should follow its natural course. There's no need to encourage accelerated growth."

The next day, Zi Yi headed to the ward early in the morning.

The various data from the machine monitoring Dou Xiangling was very stable after her repaired heart was put back into her body.

However, Zi Yi planned to let her soak in the nutrient solution for another two days because it would be beneficial for her in the future.

After she checked up on Dou Xiangling, she left the room.

Today was the 1st of January, New Year's Day.

Lu Jingye had informed Zi Yi last night that there would be a holiday in the secret base today.

After walking out of the room, she saw Wang Biao and Ji Dekun shoveling the snow with several other people.

There were also some who were holding onto lanterns to hang them under the eaves outside the lab.

Zi Yi looked at them for a while and asked Lu Jingye, "What will we be doing?"

Lu Jingye thought about it and said, "We can hang the lanterns."

Zi Yi did not feel like doing it. "We can get the robots to do that, it'll be done very quickly.

Having said that, she pulled him towards the canteen. "Let's go and see what we are having today?"

As soon as they came closer to the canteen, they heard the sounds of pigs getting slaughtered and voices from behind the canteen.

Zi Yi increased her pace and wanted to go around the canteen to take a look. Lu Jingye pulled her back and said, "It's dirty at the back. If you're bored, we can go to the mountains to take a look."

Zi Yi who originally wanted to see the pigs getting slaughtered had immediately dismissed that thought of hers after hearing Lu Jingye's suggestion. She hastily nodded her head. "Sure."

Lu Jingye looked at how she was dressed and said, "Go back and put on a cloak. The trees in the mountains are covered in snow and the snow will fall inside of your clothes if you're not careful.

Zi Yi was a little unwilling. "Then what about you two?"

Lu Jingye said, "We'll go prepare the equipment for heading up the mountains. Come to the back door after wearing your cloak. We'll wait for you there."

Only then did Zi Yi head towards where their courtyard was.

Looking at her departing back view, Lu Yunxiao asked Lu Jingye, "Is it fine for sister-in-law to follow us?"

Zi Yi looked soft and weak and he was afraid that she would get frightened if she saw wild animals.

Lu Jingye did not answer him directly and said, "Don't underestimate your sister-in-law."

He left for the utility room after he said his piece.

After Zi Yi wore the cloak and went to the back door, Lu Jingye and Lu Yunxiao were already waiting for her there.

Other than them, Lu Yi and Tian Dongquan were also present.

Lu Jingye tightened her cloak and held her hand as all of them made their way outside.

The secret base was originally built in a primitive forest and the moment they went out, they soon entered the part of the forest that blocked out the majority of the sunlight.

There were dead branches and a thick layer of snow under their feet. Their feet would sink into the snow with every step they took and the dead branches would cause crackling sounds.

From time to time, a mass of snow would fall from a tree. If they were slightly late in dodging it, they would end up getting hit.

Lu Jingye had been holding onto Zi Yi's hand as they walked. However, Zi Yi felt a little tired after walking for a short distance.

1

Lu Jingye asked her, "Do you want me to carry you?"

His words caused the others to look in their direction.

Zi Yi shook her head and said, "No, if you carry me, your brother and the rest would feel that I'm useless."

Having said that, she took out two circular balls and threw them on the ground.

The circular balls quickly transformed and soon, an automatic snowboard could be seen.

Zi Yi stepped onto it and said to Lu Jingye, "Ah Jing, stand behind me."

Lu Jingye looked at the snowboard under her feet and said, "You can give Yunxiao and the rest one too."

Lu Yunxiao stared at the snowboard under Zi Yi's feet and opened his mouth. He very much wanted to ask how she managed to bring that out.

1

However, Zi Yi did not give him a chance to ask any questions at all. She took out a few circular balls from her cloak and threw them on the ground. Soon, the circular balls transformed into three more snowboards.

Zi Yi said, "You can control the direction the snowboard is heading in by your voice."

Having said that, she waited for Lu Jingye to step onto her snowboard with her and the two of them actually left first.

Tian Dongquan went over and stepped on the snowboard before he said, "Third Young Master, Lu Yi, I'll give the Second Madam's technology a try too and I'll make a move first."

1

He then looked to the front and shouted, "Forward!"

The snowboard had moved forward in an instant.

Lu Yunxiao and Lu Yi were left behind as they stood on the spot.

Lu Yi saw how Lu Yunxiao remained unmoved even after a long time and he called out, "Leader."

Lu Yunxiao looked at him and asked, "What kind of person is my sister-in-law?"

Lu Yi had seen Zi Yi's prowess in machinery and computers. Besides, he had been in contact with the outside world and heard many things about Zi Yi and so on, so he said, "The Second Young Madam excels in many fields, and in particular robotics, medicine, and computers."

Lu Yunxiao was silent for a moment before he silently walked to the snowboard and stepped on it. "Forward."

Sure enough, the snowboard moved forward.

...

Zi Yi had Lu Jingye blocking the snow and wind that was blowing from behind and she did not feel cold at all. She started getting more and more engrossed in playing and she would point and command the snowboard to the left and right randomly.

1

The more they snowboarded, the further they went. It was unknown how long they had snowboarded for until Lu Jingye reminded Zi Yi. "We can't go ahead anymore, or else we won't be able to get back in time for lunch."

Only then did Zi Yi stop commanding the skateboard.

Yet at this moment, there was a sudden tremor in front of them.
