The Mysterious Heiress: Researcher In Disguise Chapter 555 - Fu Zhi, The Know-It-All – 3

Chapter 555: Fu Zhi, The Know-It-All – 3

Fu Zhi looked at Zheng Qu.

Initially, Zheng Qu was going to target Gu Yanqi since Li Nanli was wiser. However, little did he expect that instead of Gu Yanqi, Fu Zhi would jump right into his trap.

He squinted his eyes and said, “I’ll be frank with you, aunt. I won’t go easy on you just because you’re a woman.”

“Really? Well, I don’t want other people to say that I’m bullying you, so I’m going to give you some wiggle room. You can first throw three darts, then I’ll start.”

As soon as she finished speaking, the crowd burst out laughing.

“Pfft… Am I hearing it right, or she’s actually saying that she doesn’t want other people to think that she’s bullying Zheng Qu? I have to say that she’s a beauty in her own right, but it seems to me that there’s something wrong with her brain!”

“That just shows how ignorant she is. Do you think she still has the guts to make such a statement after seeing what Young Master Zheng could do?”

“Hah, another attention seeker.”

“I’ll give you guys three minutes. I want to know everything about her!”

“…”

She already knew what she was going to do the moment she saw Zheng Qu: revenge.

Gu Yanqi wanted to stop Fu Zhi, but once again, he was a tad too late.

He had a feeling that Fu Zhi had become a lot bolder lately. He did not doubt Fu Zhi’s shooting skills, but throwing darts at fish through the ice layer was on a whole new layer.

“There are 29 Onyx Pixies inside the pond. Each of us will take 30 shots. Of course, I’ll let you have three shots ahead, so that means you’ll have 33 shots in total. In 30 minutes, whoever hit an Onyx Pixy, the other person will remove a piece of clothing, and the one who loses will run around the swimming pool on the first floor three times naked and call the other person “daddy” three times. Can you accept it?”

Zheng Qu was stunned for a moment. He considered himself a ruthless and a thrill-seeker, otherwise, he would not have joined the a.s.sa.s.sination plan on Li Nanli. He did not expect that there would be someone who loved excitement more than he did.

“Are you sure about that?”

“Of course,” Fu Zhi replied, “What? Are you afraid that you would lose?”

“I’m afraid that I would lose?” Zheng Qu was trapped between laughter and tears.

“Is she really that eager to show us her body?”

“Maybe she doesn’t like President Li at all, and she’s looking for a new partner.”

“Maybe you’re right.”

“I don’t think so. She is, after all, President Li’s girlfriend. Look at President Li. He doesn’t look fl.u.s.tered at all, Maybe she really can do it?”

“Even men like us would have a hard time piercing through the ice, so do you really think a girl like her can do it? Besides, you’re thinking too much. The fact that President Li looks so calm only means that he doesn’t really care about her.”

—

All of them did not put in the effort to lower their voices, and just as the last person finished speaking, a loud bang erupted. Red wine began to trickle down his face as shards of gla.s.ses were sent flying into the sky. The man grunted in pain, and before he could do anything, a hand grappled at him by his collar and he received a kick in his knees.

“Who the h.e.l.l…” He came to an abrupt stop when he rammed into a pair of angry eyes. Although his vision was blurred by the rivulets of red wine and blood, he could still see clearly who the person was.

“Pre… Presiden Li…” He stammered.

“Hah.” Li Nanli scoffed as he pointed the broken bottle in his hand at the man’s neck. He then pressed his head and pinned the man on the table.

Everyone was stunned by the sudden change of event. Just when Zheng Qu was going to say something, Li Nanli patted the man’s face with the broken bottle, cutting the man’s cheek with the sharp edge of the bottle.

Blood began to drip on the floor.

The man cried, “President Li, I… I…”

He did not know why Li Nanli would beat him up all of a sudden. However, it was very apparent that n.o.body dared to step forward and help him.

As everyone took two steps back in fright, they remembered how Li Nanli took over the Li Corporation.

No matter how calm a wolf was, it was still a wolf.

Gu Yanqi sneered at the crowd.

“Who did you say is looking for a new partner just now?” Li Nanli asked, his voice dripping with venom.

The man sobbed, “I… I…”

“Do you know what would happen to you if you can’t watch your mouth?”

The man nodded.

In the next second, Li Nanli released the man. He glanced across his surroundings, causing everyone to feel as if there was an invisible hand clutching at their hearts. He then threw the bottle in his hand onto the table, shattering the bottle in the process.

Zheng Qu’s face was ugly.

He did not expect that Li Nanli would dare to do something like this at the banquet. He stared at Li Nanli and just when he was about to say something, Fu Zhi’s voice rang out behind him, “Are you up for the challenge or not, Young Master Zheng.”

Zheng Qu pressed his lips thin and turned around. He picked up a plate of darts from the table.

Throwing darts at Onyx Pixies was never an easy task. Piercing through the ice was an easy deal for Zheng Qu, and even though it was difficult to land a hit on Onyx Pixies, he just needed to make sure that he could score four or five out of the 30 shots to defeat Fu Zhi.

Everyone thought the same way as well.

Zheng Qu had everything thought out. After he defeated Fu Zhi, he was positive that Li Nanli would not let her run around the pool naked since she was his female companion. At that time, he would seize the chance to mention the transfer of the owners.h.i.+p of the mines and told him his demands.

Mela had the servants bring the plate over.

Both Zheng Qu and Fu Zhi stood on a bridge about five meters away from the pond.

“Sweetheart, please go easy on her,” Mela said as she looked mockingly at Fu Zhi, “After all, she’s your aunt and she’s a girl.”

Zheng Qu planted a kiss on Mela’s lips.

Li Nanli saw the interaction between Zheng Qu and Mela. He turned his gaze towards Fu Zhi’s lips and gulped.

The match started.

Zheng Qu had 33 darts on the plate. Holding a dart between his fingers, he focused on an Onyx Pixy in the pond and threw the dart forward.

A crack appeared on the surface of the ice as the dart submerged into the pond.

An exclamation spread through the crowd.

A smile hopped onto the corner of Zheng Qu’s lips. He was standing in a higher position. The dart had stirred up the pond, so he could not see as clear as the people below. When he heard the commotion, he leaned his body forward.

However, he could not see anything other than some ripples.

The Onyx Pixy had run away.

That being said, Zheng Qu was not discouraged as this was within his expectation. He c.o.c.ked his head, and just as he was about to say something to Fu Zhi, he saw that she threw the dart into the pond through the hole that he created just now and hit an Onyx Pixy with deadly precision.

“Holy!’ Gu Yanqi had never seen anyone as shameless as Fu Zhi before and his eyes lit up.

A heated argument broke across the crowd, and Gu Yanqi just wanted to shout.

“Breaking the ice required some strength and the dart would be slowed down considerably when it’s piercing through the ice, not to mention that the movement of the ice would alert Onyx Pixies, which were a bunch of speedsters. I can’t believe that Fu Zhi would make her shot through the opening that Young Master Zheng created just now. That’s a genius move!”

“But isn’t that cheating?”

“Well, they didn’t say that they’re forbidden from throwing through each other’s openings, so I think it doesn’t count as cheating.”

“We shouldn’t jump the gun so fast. Let’s keep watching.”

“That’s right. There’s no way Young Master Zheng would be defeated by a girl like her!”

—

“What are you still waiting for, Young Master Zheng?” Fu Zhi asked as she juggled with a dart in her hand, “Are you not going to take off one of your clothes?”

Zheng Qu’s face was dark. He raised his hand and took a cuff off his suit. “Nice one, Ms. Fu. Let’s continue.”

The second round started, but it ended with the same result.

Fu Zhi threw her dart through the hole that Zheng Qu had opened up and hit another Onyx Pixy.

A crack appeared on Zheng QU’s face and he took another cuff off his suit. His voice was laced with anger as he hissed, “Continue.”

The third round, the fourth round, the fifth round… The tenth round.

Fu Zhi repeated the same trick again and again and again…

Those people who looked down on Fu Zhi just now had fallen silent, and even the group of female companions began to look at Fu Zhi in a new light.

They could say that Fu Zhi was lucky when she could score her shot on the first few attempts. However, it was totally a different case since she had never once missed her shot and she had already killed ten Onyx Pixies.

Besides, the fact she could land a hit on Onyx Pixy despite the tiny opening showed she had some skills.

Zheng Qu’s eyes were bloodshot as he took off his sock.

Mela could not hold herself and shouted, “Ms. Fu! Don’t you think that you’re taking advantage of Young Master Zheng?”

Her accusation seemingly had woken the rest of the people. All of them turned their heads towards Fu Zhi and said, “That’s right, Ms. Fu. That’s not the right thing to do. You shouldn’t take advantage of Young Master Zheng!”

“It’s not an honorable win as well even if you won in the end!”

“You should rely on yourself. Even if you’re a woman, such conduct is unforgivable!”

Crossing her arms in front of her chest, Mela looked at Fu Zhi condescendingly and said, “Did you hear that, Ms. Fu? Can you see how shameful your behavior is right now? If you refuse to listen to us, we won’t take off our clothes anymore.”

“You guys just want to find an excuse not to take off your clothes. Stop giving such a high-sounding reason!” Gu Yanqi stepped forward. “Besides, the rules didn’t state that she had to break the ice with the dart herself!”

“Young Master Gu, I suggest you step back and be quiet. You should go and understand how to play c.r.a.ps first before sticking your nose into other people’s affairs!” Mela shouted.

Fu Zhi darted a glance at Mela before she gestured at Gu Yanqi.

There was only a cloth left on Zheng Qu’s body.

“Then, in your opinion, how should we play the game?”

Mela hastily said, “To eradicate unfairness, both of you should throw the dart at the same time!”

Everyone nodded at Mela’s suggestion.

Fu Zhi lifted her brows as she asked, “Are you sure you want me to throw the dart with him together?”

“Yes!”

“Isn’t that a little too cruel and unfair to him?”

‘Unfair? How?’

Mela looked suspiciously at Fu Zhi, “What do you mean?”

“I’m worried that he won’t have any chance anymore if we throw our darts at the same time.”

Mela rolled her eyes at Fu Zhi as she felt something must be wrong with her brain.

As for Zheng Qu, he heaved out a sigh of relief. He swore to himself that he was going to defeat Fu Zhi this time and showed her who was the boss here!
