Ever since the reconciliation, their tense relationship turned friendlier. Fu Zhi was happy about it, and Fu Yuan did not have to become the middleman between them anymore.
Since he just came here temporarily to take care of Ye Jiu, Fu Zhao returned to the capital after he stayed for a few days in Myanmar.
After Fu Zhi had changed the dressing for Ye Jiu, she headed to the Li Mansion.
—
In the meantime, the International Crime Unit.
After the revelation of Fu Zhi being the captain of the 8th division, they had to change their meeting place.
Right now, inside a spacious, empty room, the captain of the 2nd division was sitting in front of the desk. They had contacted the captain commander, but he had not replied to them yet.
The captain of the 7th division chimed in, “Fu Zhi can’t control Aurora, so she vents her anger on us.. Don’t you think it’s a little bit unfair?”
“Where are we supposed to get so much money in such a short time? Does she think we all are the God of Fortune?” The captain of the 3rd division added, “We must figure out a way and save our brothers from her evil clutches!”
“Before that, let’s check whether or not that crazy b*tch has installed a camera in our meeting room!” The captain of the 7th division looked around and continued, “I have no idea why but I have a feeling that Fu Zhi is around us. Besides, isn’t there a rumor that the captain commander is Fu Zhi’s father? Why isn’t he saying anything, then?
“She’s too old for her father to control her. Also, Fu Zhi doesn’t seem like the person who would give up on the money just because the captain commander is her father. We have to think of another solution.”
“For example?”
The captain of the 2nd division squinted his eyes and said, “Behind Fu Zhi is the Fu Corporation. It’s a big corporation, and given the fact they could stand strong for so many years, I’m sure there are some shady businesses going on.”
“Are you suggesting that we should run a background check on the Fu Corporation, and see if we can find something that we could use to threaten them? Have you forgotten that the person behind her back destroyed the video when we’re looking for her? Not even us can get it back…”
“Whoever it is, judging from the fact that he or she could defeat the captain of the 4th division in hacking, he or she must be someone who would not submit to power and work for the Fu Corporation. In my opinion, only the top three members of the Hacker Alliance are able to destroy the video to the point that it can’t be recovered,” the captain of the 2nd division licked his lips, “The Hacker Alliance only works for money, and nobody knows where Siren is. I heard that Siren has opened up a tutorial session some time ago, but she’s gone off the grid after two days of teaching. We just need to get the things we want before Fu Zhi could get help from Siren. If we can’t do it, maybe it’s their destiny to spend the rest of their lives as Fu Zhi’s slaves.”
“Should we ask help from the 1st division?”
“1st division? From what I remember, it seems to me that he doesn’t want to offend the Fu Corporation… Oh yeah, why aren’t you saying anything, 6th division? What’s your take?”
Jiang Ningbei, aka Fu Zhi’s personalized camera, did not know what to say.
‘What’s my take? I think you all are going to die soo.’

It was 11:00 am when she arrived at the Li Mansion.
She had been working tirelessly to make medicine for Ye Jiu in the past few days, so she was deprived of sleep. She pushed the gate open listlessly and walked into the mansion.
At the same time, there was a group of men in the living room. They were standing around in a circle, and there was a tall, stocky man in the center. They all were patting his shoulders, and it seemed like they were comforting him.
“Don’t think too much, captain. It’s just an accident. Luckily we arrived in time. Besides, you’re not there to kill people. You’re there to save people!”
“Who would’ve thought that Old Master Zheng is really pretending to be sick in order to drag on and not sign the transfer agreement of the mine with President Li!”
“You didn’t push him into the river. It’s him who couldn’t stand the loneliness and asked the butler to push him out for a walk around the lake. It just so happened that you found him out and he wanted to kill you. You defended yourself and accidentally pushed him into the lake!”
“The worst thing is that the medicine he took would react with cold water, and honestly, I have never smelled such a stinky smell before. Even if Young Master Jiang has bathed several times, he still can’t wash the smell away…”
…
Truth be told, Jiang Jinshu just wanted to be alone right now. The things they said stung his ears, and his face was turning darker and darker with every passing second. In the end, he smacked the table hard and snarled, “Shut up! Who dares to mention what happened last night, I will beat him up until even his mother can’t recognize him!”
“Yes! Yes! Yes! We’ll keep our mouths shut from now on!” They said as they nodded in assent.
Fu Zhi raised her brows when she heard everything.
She had to go through Jiang Jinshu and the others if she was heading towards the second floor. When she saw Gu Yanqi coming down from the stairs, she said, “Please spray more air freshener in the living room, I have to pass by the living room when I come downstairs later.”
Jiang Jinshu’s heart skipped a beat when he heard Fu Zhi’s voice. He instinctively raised his arm and began checking himself.
The remaining members from the Shadow Corps turned their heads around and zeroed in on Fu Zhi. Suddenly, all of them remembered that Fu Zhi had warned them before about Old Master Zheng…
“Didn’t Fu Zhi say Old Master Zheng has taken a special medicine that will only work when in contact with cold water?”
“Yes! She indeed has told us before about Old Master Zheng. She even has warned Young Master Jiang that he shouldn’t go to the lake with Old Master Zheng, or else he might regret it!”
“Now that you mentioned it, I also remember Fu Zhi has told us about that as well.”
“But how did she know that? We’ve consulted a lot of professional doctors, yet they all couldn’t see through it!”
“Young Master Jiang would’ve dodged the bullet if he listened to Ms. Fu.”
…
“Oh, I forgot to tell you, Young Master Jiang, you don’t have to smell yourself, and you don’t need to find ways to get rid of this smell on your body. Generally speaking, the medicine Old Master Zheng took would react with cold water and help him remove waste from his body. Once it sticks on your body, it might take at least four days before the smell will slowly dissipate. Therefore, all you have to do is wait.
“Besides, looking from the bright side, this smell is one-of-kind. Maybe your girlfriend would be able to find her way to you by following the smell.”
The more Fu Zhi talked, the darker Jiang Jinshu’s face became.
He did not know how Fu Zhi was able to see through Old Master Zheng’s physical condition while even the most professional doctor in the world was not able to do it. Could it be that she was a doctor of great attainments?
After all, there was only one person in this world who could be better than a bunch of professional doctors—Z God. Considering Fu Zhi’s age and experience, she shouldn’t be able to stand on the same ground as Z God…
“Erm, Zhizhi, let’s go upstairs first,” Gu Yanqi hastily came forward as he was fully aware of what Fu Zhi was capable of.
He had heard about Jiang Jinshu’s accident as well. However, he had learned to take everything easy after the things that happened at the Zheng Family’s banquet. Therefore, he would not feel baffled anymore no matter what Fu Zhi did right now.
A murmur spread over the crowd after Fu Zhi and Gu Yanqi went upstairs, and they still could not quite accept it.
—
Right now, inside the room on the second floor.
At the moment Fu Zhi pushed the door open, she rammed into a pair of glacial eyes.
She was stunned for a moment, and in the next second, she heard Gu Yanqi exclaim loudly beside her.
“Holy!”
Li Nanli threw a glance at Gu Yanqi, and he continued to put on his clothes. After that, he picked up his phone from the desk and said expressionlessly, “It’s not for you to see, so keep quiet.
“A professional third wheel will be able to read the air and leave the room for the couple.”
Gu Yanqi was stumped.
It was only now that he saw the reason why Li Nanli was not wearing any clothes, so he was waiting for Fu Zhi the whole time.
Gu Yanqi turned around and left the room.
Fu Zhi gave the ointment she made for Ye Jiu to Li Nanli.
“This is… You made this yourself?” Li Nanli asked.
“Yes. I made it the day before yesterday. Its effect might be kind of lackluster since I made it in a rush. If you give me more time, I can make you a better one,” Fu Zhi replied.
Li Nanli was touched when he heard what Fu Zhi had said. He looked at the two black rings around her eyes and said, “It’s fine for a man to have a few scars on his body, so you don’t have to pull an all-nighter just to brew the ointment for me.”
Fu Zhi then replied, “Don’t worry. This ointment is for my brother, so you don’t have to feel bad about it.”
Li Nanli was speechless.
There was a silence in the air, and Fu Zhi only realized what she had said when she saw the bewilderment on Li Nanli’s face. She thought for a moment before saying, “If it makes you feel better when I say that, you can take it seriously.”
Li Nanli was out of words.
Fu Zhi then went forward to feel Li Nanli’s pulse and said, “My parents and I are going back to Yu City tonight. If you have anything, you can text me.”
“Okay,” Li Nanli replied, and the phone in his hand rang.
[Hi, captain. I have a small problem on my side, and I hope you could do me a favor. I can give you the corresponding points I have on hand.]
These captains of the International Crime Unit relied on solving cases, apprehending murderers, and rescuing hostages to get the appropriate points for various benefits such as promotions, pay raises, and access to the database.
That’s right. The International Crime Unit was a mega database. It housed the information of 80 percent of the middle to upper-class population across the globe.
The points that Li Nanli had now were insufficient for him to read information about “Z God”.
[Give me the link.]
Li Nanli walked towards his computer, and then pulled a laptop out from the drawer. “I need to take care of some business. You can go play games for a while.”
Fu Zhi nodded and she walked towards a couch at the side of the bed.
As her game was loading, she sent a message into her gaming group.
[Yo, guys. I’m in the game now. Does anyone want to join me?]
[No.]
[Go away!]
[Don’t ever listen to every word she says. She’s a liar!]
[My team needs three more people. Does anyone want to join us?]
[Send me the link. I’ll join.]
[Are you sure about that? You won’t quit mid-game again, right?]
[I promise.]
After noticing that Fu Zhi had started her game, Li Nanli then brought his laptop to the study. He clicked into the link that the captain of the 2nd division sent to him, and began attacking the database.
The captain of the 2nd division made a call to Li Nanli. “How is everything going? Do you think you can do it?”
“Yes,” Li Nanli replied, “I’ll connect my computer to yours. After I’ve hacked into the database, you can go in and find the evidence yourself.”
“Okay,” the captain of the 2nd division replied. When his computer was connected to Li Nanli’s, he was stunned, “60 percent? That’s fast!”
The other captains exclaimed in unison when they heard what the captain of the 2nd division had said.
They had tried to attack the database themselves but to no avail. Whenever they reached 50 percent, the programmer from the other side would start fixing the database.
Jiang Ningbei realized something was not right, and he hastily sent a message to Fu Zhi.
[Code red! Code red!]
[Your house has been breached!]
[The captain of the 1st division is attacking the Fu Corporation’s database right now! You should go and help the programmer before it’s too late!]
[?]
Fu Zhi replied.
[I didn’t expect the captain of the 1st division to be so good. He’s attacking the Fu Corporation’s database, and it seems like he’s going to succeed soon!]
‘Huh? Captain of the 1st division? The one who took my position away?’
Fu Zhi’s face sank and she sent a message to her team, [Something’s come up and I have to attend to it right away. You guys hold on for a while. I’ll be back in ten minutes.]
Her teammates were stunned.
[What?!]
[How could you do this to us, Li Wan?!]
[You’re even worse than my five-year-old brother who stole my mom’s phone to play games and was beaten half to death by my mom!]
Fu Zhi abandoned her teammates and logged on to the Fu Corporation’s database.
‘Not only did he take my position away, and now he wants to attack my company? I’m going to show him who’s the boss today!’
