The Mysterious Heiress: Researcher In Disguise - Chapter 548

Chapter 548: Fu Zhi, Seeking Money and Taking Lives

Initially, everyone felt that Fu Zhi was just messing around, so they mocked her and criticized her. However, Fu Zhi proved herself with four Grade S jades in the end.

What’s more, she had gotten a few more normal grade jades other than the four Grade S jades and she did not have to pay a single penny for any of the jades.

“Ms. Fu, Ms. Fu, are you going to sell your Dragonstone Jade?’

“We don’t necessarily need your Dragonstone Jade, Ms. Fu. We’re willing to buy any of the jades that you’re selling. We just don’t know if Ms. Fu can give us your phone number or not.”

“Ms. Fu, my team has just gotten an Orange Jade. Although it’s not as valuable as your Dragonstone Jade, it’s a nice material to be made into a bracelet as well. I’ll give you one, so I hope you can accept it.”

“…”

Although Fu Zhi was lucky today, everyone could see that she had real skills and experience. For these bosses, they had never lacked mediocre jade and they were always on a constant search for high-grade jade such as Golden Thread, Imperial Jade, and to name a few.

The fact they were willing to purchase intermediate-grade jades in Fu Zhi’s hands at a high price as well as giving her a bracelet that worth more than a million showed that they wanted to form a good relationship with Fu Zhi.

The reason they wanted to form a relationship was that they hoped that she could provide them with help in the future.

Everyone knew what they were doing save for Wu Zhiheng.

Seeing that everyone was praising Fu Zhi, he clenched his fists tightly and his eyes were bloodshot as he stared at her. He just wanted to charge at her and shred her face into pieces.

After all, it was all Fu Zhi’s fault.

Had it not been for her to trap them, they would not have given up on the jade stone. If they did not give up on the jade stone, it would be them who were receiving those praises right now.

However, what was happening right now?

Wu Zhiheng did not know what he had did wrong.

One second earlier he was still a young master of a family, in the next second, he became a young man drowned in debt.

Wu Zhiheng opened his mouth but no words could form from his throat.

Everyone was congratulating Fu Zhi for getting Grade S jades, especially the crowd outside of the exhibition hall. When they learned that Fu Zhi had gotten a Dragonstone Jade, they became so excited that they screamed and yelled at the top of their lungs, filling the entire street with their enthusiastic shout.

“Awesome! Brilliant! Mr. Lu, quickly, slap me in the face. I want to know if I’m dreaming or it’s really happening right now!” Jin Can’s face was rudy as he rubbed his eyes. He did not seem like someone who had just passed out at all.

“It’s really happening,” Lu Jingqing said as he stroked the Dragonstone Jade in front of him, “It’s just that I don’t know if I’m dreaming or not.”

Jin Can became speechless.

Then, Lu Jingqing said, “Zhizhi said that she will make you a jade pendant, so you can pick any jade you like from here. We’ll jot it down, and after it has been made into a pendant, we will send it to you.”

“You don’t have to do that, but… Well, since you insist, I’ll gladly accept it then!”

As for the group of experts behind the Lu Family, one of them lamented, “I thought Ms. Fu is just messing around with us, I didn’t expect her to be so good. I must apologize to her later.”

Jin Can’s face also turned red when he remembered that he had questioned Fu Zhi before as well.

Then, he looked at Lu Jingqing with admiration.

After all, Lu Jingqing was the one who had full faith in Fu Zhi from the beginning. Not only that, but he also saw through Chu Yunsheng’s arrogance and his incompetency.

After Jin Can calmed himself down, he began to look at Fu Zhi in a whole new light. He did not dare to look down on her anymore, and just like Lu Jingqing, he believed her wholeheartedly.

The Lu Family had made a whole pot full from the Stone Gambling Festival this time.

The jades that Fu Zhi and Chu Yunsheng picked respectively were laid out in front of everyone’s eyes, and it was obvious to see that who was the winner.

“Well, are the Chu Family and the Wu Family going to pay for the jades now?”

“Of course! They lost the bet, of course they have to pay for it.”

“The Wus has already owed 300 million, will they still be able to take so much money out?”

“Chu Yunsheng fainted at the right time. If they couldn’t take the money out, the Lucky Cloud Pavilion is going to ask from the Lu Family, right?”

“But the Lu Family don’t lack money right now. They have gotten so many Grade S jades and there are so many bosses who want to make friends with them. If I were Fu Zhi, I would not take the money from them.”

However, he was not Fu Zhi.

Fu Zhi would never pay for the jades, no matter what. She even had readied herself to go for another round of battle with the Lucky Cloud Pavilion, the Wu Family, and the Chu Family.

However, the staff member went after Wu Zhiheng.

After all, Wu Qi and Chu Yunsheng had not woken up yet, and the only person that could pull the weight around was Wu Zhiheng.

“Well, here’s the thing, since the Wu family has always been a regular customer of the Lucky Cloud Pavilion, if the Wu family has no way to transfer funds, you guys can sell the few jades to us at a fair price. Then, the payment you have to pay at the end is three hundred and fifty million. However, considering the fact that you may not have so much cash, we give you a three-day deadline, but you have to write your name on this promissory note first.”

A promissory note was a signed document acknowledging a debt. In other words, as long as the Wu Family signed the note, they had to be responsible for the debt.

This was something that Wu Zhiheng did not expect.

As a listed company, they did not have so much liquidity to support the amount of cash used to purchase the jade stones. Besides, the Wu Family was badly damaged since they could not get any good jades during this stone gambling session. Coupled up with the huge debt, it was cast in stone that they were going to file for bankruptcy.

The staff member of the Lucky Cloud Pavilion pressed on, “I suggest you sign the note, Young Master Wu. Or else, we won’t let you leave the Lucky Cloud Pavilion.”

Wu Zhiheng took a step back.

‘I can’t sign it,’ Wu Zhiheng told himself inwardly.

He still could not accept the fact that the Wu Family had fallen from its grace. He had been a headstrong person. He refused to accept it when his peers were better than him. That’s why he was willing to go down the hard way even though everyone had iced him out.

If he signed the note, he also had to handle Chu Yunsheng’s debt. If his father found out, he was certain that he would beat him to death.

Therefore, he must not sign the note no matter what.

Wu Zhiheng bit the tip of his tongue and he could feel some liquid flowing inside of his mouth. With the overwhelming surge of hatred he had for Fu Zhi, he took two steps forward and said, his face contorted into a grotesque grimace.

“You’ve already won, Ms. Fu. Why must you do this to me? Mr. Lu, are you going to stand there and watch your daughter do whatever she wants?”

“I’m not watching. I’ve already helped you guys,” Lu JIngqing said. Then, he paused for a moment before continuing, “You mustn’t slander me and cook up rumors about me. It’s not a good ethic.”

“Mr. Lu, Fu Zhi… I’m your relatives. Must you guys see me die in front of you before…”

He came to a sudden stop in his sentence.

Then, blood jetted out of the young man’s mouth as he fell to the ground like a marionette with its string cut.

“Young Master Wu!”‘

“Young Master!”

“My debtor!”

The people in the Wu Family hurriedly went up and surrounded Wu Zhiheng. They had not gotten their pay for this month yet, so they had to wake Wu Zhiheng up no matter what.

As for the staff member from the Lucky Cloud Pavilion, he began slapping Wu Zhiheng’s face in an attempt to wake him up.

“Young Master Wu! Young Master Wu, wake up! We can’t get our money if you don’t wake up now!” The staff member shouted, “Doctor! Where’s the doctor?”

This was the third person who vomited blood today because of Fu Zhi today.

Jin Can looked at the little girl worriedly. He wondered if they had to be responsible for him or not if he was dead.

However, on second thought, they were the ones who forced Fu Zhi to accept the bet, so…

“Don’t worry, Uncle Jin,” Fu Zhi said, as if she could read his thought. She studied Wu Zhiheng’s complexion and took a step forward.

“Can you guys move aside?”

The reason Fu Zhi stepped forward was that she knew Wu Zhiheng was just pretending to have fainted.

However, the Wu Family’s secretary did not think so. He had been working in the Wu Corporation for a long time and they paid him handsomely, so he cared about the Wus a lot. If it was other people, he might have moved aside already, but since the person who was talking right now was Fu Zhi, he refused to step aside.

After all, had it not been for Fu Zhi, Wu Zhiheng and Wu Qi would not have vomited blood and fainted.

He stood in front of Wu Zhiheng and stretched his hand forward to push Fu Zhi away. “What are you doing? Not only did you want our money, but you want our lives as well? I won’t let you go near Young Master Wu!”

Fu Zhi moved sideways and evaded his arm.

Then, Jin Can shouted, “Hey! Hey! Hey! What do you think you’re doing?!”

He went forward and pointed at the secretary, “Stop using that despicable mind of yours to judge Zhizhi. If she didn’t know how to save him, would she step forward?”

“No way! Who knows would she drug our Young Master or not!”

“Really? Do you really think she’s capable of doing that?” The staff member of the Lucky Cloud Pavilion chimed in, “There are so many people watching her, so how is there any possibility that she could drug your young master?”

“Can you really save him?” The secretary asked. Compared to the debt, he worried Wu Zhiheng even more.

“Of course I can,” Fu Zhi replied. She opened up her bag and picked the largest silver needle out of her pouch. “All I need is just a silver needle. I’m sure he will wake up in no time!”

The silver needle gleamed coldly under the sun.

Jin Can had a feeling that Wu Zhiheng might die if Fu Zhi really stuck that silver needle into him.

“No! No, no, no, no! You’re killing him!” The secretary shouted as he protected Wu Zhiheng behind him, “Don’t you dare to take a step forward. Otherwise, I’ll scream!”

Fu Zhi chuckled. “Go ahead. I doubt anyone will come to your rescue, considering your appearance.

“Besides, you can rest assured. I can definitely save him.”

“These are silver needles, and only doctors will bring them around. You should step aside and let her do her job,” the staff member of the Lucky Cloud Pavilion said.

The secretary thought for a moment before taking a step aside, “Then… Then, I’ll leave him in your hands. You’ve got to save him. If anything happens to him, I… I’ll slap you!”

Fu Zhi glanced at him and squatted beside Wu Zhiheng. She pulled another silver needle out and flipped Wu Zhiheng’s eyelids nonchalantly.

Then, she felt his pulse before putting his arm beside his waist. After that, she lifted the silver needle in her hand and stabbed it into his arm, causing him a lot of pain.

It all happened too fast.

Wu Zhuheng suddenly jerked up from the ground and he snarled, “Are you nuts, Fu Zhi?!”
