575: Li Nanli And His Horde Of Sock Puppets - 1

Li Nanli And His Horde Of Sock Puppets - 1

After the reconciliation, their tense relationship became friendlier. Fu Zhi was happy about it, and Fu Yuan did not have to be the middleman between them anymore.

Since he had just come here temporarily to take care of Ye Jiu, Fu Zhao returned to the capital after staying in Myanmar for a few days. 

After Fu Zhi changed the dressing for Ye Jiu, she headed to the Li Mansion.

In the meantime, in the International Crimes Unit...

After the revelation that Fu Zhi was 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's venting 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 are the God of Fortune?" The captain of the 3rd division added, "We must figure out a way to save our brothers from her evil clutches!"

"Before we do 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 added, "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 kind of person who would give up on 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 that they have stayed strong for so many years, I'm sure there is some shady business 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 were looking for her? Not even we can get it back…"

"Whoever it is, judging from the fact that he or she defeated the captain of the 4th division at 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 started a tutorial session some time ago, but she went off the grid after two days of teaching. We just need to get the things we want before Fu Zhi can get help from Siren. If we can't do it, maybe they're destined to spend the rest of their lives as Fu Zhi's slaves."

"Should we ask the 1st division for help?"

"The 1st division? From what I remember, it seems to me that the captain doesn't want to offend the Fu Corporation… Oh yeah, why aren't you saying anything, 6th division? What's your take on this?"

Jiang Ningbei, aka Fu Zhi's personalized camera, did not know what to say.

'What's my take? I think you are all going to die soon.'

It was 11:00 a.m. 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 sleep-deprived. 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 a tall, stocky man was in the center. They were all patting his shoulders, and it seemed like they were comforting him. 

"Don't overthink, 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 would really be pretending to be sick in order to stall and not sign the transfer agreement of the mine with President Li!"

"You didn't push him into the river. He's the one 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 outside 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 reacted with cold water. Honestly, I have never smelled such a stinky odor before. Even if Young Master Jiang bathed several times, he still wouldn't be able to 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! I will beat up whoever dares mention what happened last night 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 wanted to head to the second floor. When she saw Gu Yanqi coming down the stairs, she said, "Please spray more air freshener in the living room. I have to walk through 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 if he smelled. 

The remaining members of 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 took a special medicine that will only work when it's in contact with cold water?" 

"Yes! She indeed told us before about Old Master Zheng. She even warned Young Master Jiang that he shouldn't go to the lake with Old Master Zheng, or he might regret it!"

"Now that you mentioned it, I remember Fu Zhi telling us about that as well." 

"But how did she know that? We've consulted a lot of professional doctors, yet they couldn't see through it!" 

"Young Master Jiang would've dodged this bullet if he'd 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 a way to get rid of the smell on your body. Generally speaking, the medicine Old Master Zheng took will react with cold water and help him remove any waste from his body. Once it sticks to your body, it might take at least four days before the smell will slowly dissipate. Therefore, all you have to do is wait.

"On the bright side, this smell is one-of-a-kind. Maybe your girlfriend will 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 had been able to see through Old Master Zheng's physical condition while even the most professional doctors in the world had not been able to do it. Could she be a doctor with great accomplishments? 

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 what had 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 across the members of the Shadow Corp after Fu Zhi and Gu Yanqi went upstairs, as they were still processing what had just transpired.

Meanwhile, inside the room on the second floor...

The moment Fu Zhi pushed the door open, she rammed into a pair of glacial eyes.

She was stunned for a moment, and a second later, she heard Gu Yanqi exclaim loudly beside her.

"Holy..." 

Li Nanli shot a glance at Gu Yanqi and continued to put on his clothes. Then, 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 can read the room and leave the couple alone."

Gu Yanqi was stumped.

It was only now that he understood why Li Nanli was not wearing any clothes. He had been waiting for Fu Zhi this whole time. 

Gu Yanqi turned around and left the room.

Fu Zhi gave the ointment she had 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 because 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 circles 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 make this 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." 2

Li Nanli was speechless. 

There was 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, you can take it seriously when I say something like that."

Li Nanli was speechless. 

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 to say, you can text me."

"Okay," Li Nanli replied. Then, the phone in his hand rang.

[Hi, captain. I'm facing a small problem on my side and I hope you can do me a favor. I can give you the corresponding points I have on hand.]

The captains of the International Crimes 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 Crimes 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 to his computer and then pulled a laptop out of the drawer. "I need to take care of some business. You can go play games for a while."

Fu Zhi nodded and walked to a couch beside the bed. 

As her game was loading, she sent a message to her gaming group.

[Yo, guys. I'm in the game. Does anyone want to join me?]

[No.]

[Go away!]

[Don't ever listen to a 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 the link that the captain of the 2nd division had sent to him and began attacking the database.

The captain of the 2nd division called 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 hack 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 on the other side would start fixing the database.

Jiang Ningbei realized something was not right and 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! You should go 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? The 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 halfway 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, but he now wants to attack my company? I'm going to show him who's the boss today!'
