The True Heiress Is The Real Bigshot

Chapter 330: 319 Defying the Heavens, Boss Ying! Spoils her【2 more】

Until their foreheads touched, the distance between the two of them was less than an inch.

Their breaths intertwined, light and shallow.

The wind was a bit cold, and instinctively, Ying Zijin rolled closer into his embrace, resting against his chest.

Fu Yunshen held her even tighter.

He chuckled softly, his voice warm and spreading slowly in the wind.

“Good night, kid.”

He held her as he escorted her up the stairs, only putting her down when they reached the door.

Wen Fengmian had been waiting at home all along, and as soon as he heard the doorbell, he hurried to open the door.

Fu Yunshen steadied Ying Zijin’s shoulders and nodded slightly: “Uncle.”

“This child,” Wen Fengmian sighed, clearly worried, “truly doesn’t give peace of mind.”

Luckily, it was Fu Yunshen who came to pick her up; if it had been someone else, with her sleeping like this, she might very well have been sold off one of these days.

“Uncle, I’ll be going now,” Fu Yunshen said. “When she wakes up in the morning, have her drink a cup of light saltwater to detox.”

“Alright,” Wen Fengmian nodded. “Be careful on your way.”

Fu Yunshen came down from upstairs.

He didn’t leave but turned his head to look at the clump of trees on the right: “Stop hiding; come out.”

Indeed, a figure emerged from behind, it was Nie Chao.

“Seventh Young Master, you’re really a beast!” After witnessing everything, Nie Chao was even more appalled, “How can you do this, after having taken care of Boss Ying for almost a year? You actually had the heart to touch her, shameless!”

If it weren’t for his fear of Fu Yunshen, he would definitely have gone up, woken Ying Zijin, and told her that there was a beast taking advantage of her.

Fu Yunshen turned his head, glanced at him with a smirk that seemed to see right through him, and said with a smile, “Get in the car.”

Nie Chao felt as though he had received a deadly stare, and shivering, he got into the car: “Bro, are you going to kill me to shut me up?”

Fu Yunshen didn’t say much, leaving the driver’s seat: “You drive.”

“Huh? Why? Did you drink?”

“Tired.”

“…”

Reluctantly, Nie Chao started the car: “You really are prioritizing romance over friendship now.”

“You’re overthinking it,” Fu Yunshen quipped, lifting his eyelids, “I’ve never prioritized you.”

“…”

Given up on arguing, Nie Chao asked, “Going back to your apartment? Or somewhere else?”

Fu Yunshen replied indifferently, “To Starry Sky Bar.”

Nie Chao knew where the bar was, located in the underground marketplace.

In the middle of the night, Starry Sky Bar was crowded with people, but compared to other bars, it was still relatively quiet.

As soon as Fu Yunshen entered, he attracted attention.

He was the kind of man women would like.

Broad shoulders, narrow waist, long and sturdy legs.

A woman couldn’t restrain herself and approached him.

With a flirtatious smile and a drink in hand, she enticed him: “Mister, want to have some fun?”

Fu Yunshen didn’t look up; his peach blossom eyes were devoid of warmth, and he uttered just one word: “Scram.”

Without a shred of mercy.

The woman’s smile stiffened, her face burning with shame, and she hurried away, no longer daring to flirt.

Nie Chao clicked his tongue: “Indeed, only for Boss Ying you’re not so sharp-tongued.”

It was only after he found out Fu Yunshen was part of the Venus Group’s upper echelon that he belatedly realized something was off.

Damn it, it seemed like he was the only true wastrel, the kind with neither learning nor skills.

“Seventh Young Master, you’re not playing fair,” Nie Chao complained plaintively. “We agreed to be wastrels together, but you went behind my back to set up a business and start a family.”

“Hmm, set up a business, yes, just missing starting a family,” Fu Yunshen said, reclining on the couch lazily, “I have a task for you.”

Nie Chao took a sip of his drink, perking up his ears, “What’s that?”

“I’m going to be a bit busy recently. If you notice any suspicious men around my little friend⁠—” Fu Yunshen’s peach blossom eyes lifted, “like Jiang Moyuan, for instance, remember to tell me.”

“…”

The next morning, bright and early.

Professor Herwen went out on his own.

Pei Tianyi made sure all his bodyguards were around and didn’t follow.

He visited Verdant again to bring Ying Yuexuan some items.

At noon, when Pei Tianyi was about to invite Ying Yuexuan to lunch again, he received an urgent phone call.

“Tianyi, something’s happened.” The caller was a teacher from his team, “Professor Herwen is missing!”

Pei Tianyi’s expression changed: “What happened? What about the bodyguards?”

The bodyguards accompanying Professor Herwen were elites brought from Oceania, the cream of the crop.

“The bodyguards were found unconscious in an alley,” the teacher was anxious, “they don’t remember anything.”

“I’m heading back now.” Pei Tianyi hung up the phone and said quickly, “Yuexuan, something’s happened, I need to go first.”

Before Ying Yuexuan could even remember to open her mouth, Pei Tianyi had already hurriedly left.

He returned to the hotel at top speed and saw those five bodyguards: “Where did the professor go missing?”

The bodyguards were also at a loss; they didn’t even realize when they had lost consciousness.

By the time they regained consciousness, Professor Herwen was already nowhere to be seen.

Pei Tianyi clenched his teeth: “It must be a kidnapping.”

Professor Herwen was indeed a top professor, but ordinary people who didn’t follow the academic circle wouldn’t recognize him.

“Tianyi, what do we do now?” a teacher asked, “We must contact the authorities in O Continent, have them send someone over.”

“There’s no time for that now.” Pei Tianyi glanced at the time, “First contact the police, I’ll locate the professor’s position.”

The teacher nodded and hurried off to make the call.

The disappearance of Professor Herwen was no trivial matter.

Elsewhere.

Ying Zijin was eating when she received a call from Zuo Li.

His tone was urgent: “Classmate Ying, Professor Herwen has gone missing, you haven’t seen him since last night, right?”

“No,” Ying Zijin’s eyes tightened slightly, “He’s missing? What happened?”

Although Professor Herwen was a bit of a chatterbox, she quite liked the old man.

Herwen’s knowledge was indeed profound, and she had gained a new understanding of Quantum Mechanics.

“It’s likely not a simple disappearance, but a kidnapping,” Zuo Li took a deep breath, “I’m flying to Shanghai City right now, Classmate Ying, you don’t need to worry about this. You can’t do anything about it.”

Whoever managed to take Professor Herwen away silently was certainly no simple individual.

Ying Zijin narrowed her eyes and hung up the phone.

She wiped her hands and rose from her seat, leaving the cafeteria.

**

Inside the hotel.

Pei Tianyi was still trying to locate exactly where Professor Herwen might be.

He had planted micro-trackers in Professor Herwen’s pockets, mobile phone, and other places.

They were the size of dust particles and very hard to detect.

He had done this as a precaution against such situations.

What frustrated Pei Tianyi was that he had placed ten micro-trackers, but ten minutes had passed, and he still couldn’t pinpoint Professor Herwen’s exact location.

Either the signals were being blocked,

or the trackers had been destroyed.

However, the latter was unlikely, since Pei Tianyi could still connect to the trackers, but the signals were very unstable.

“The police here in Shanghai City have been mobilized,” a teacher beside him mentioned, “I don’t know if they can find the professor.”

“It’s not very hopeful.” Pei Tianyi furrowed his brows, “The professor’s not simply missing; hasn’t there been any phone call?”

Almost as if to confirm his thought, the mobile phone on the desk began to ring.

It was Professor Herwen’s phone, which had been found with those unconscious bodyguards.

Pei Tianyi picked up immediately: “Hello?”

“Professor Herwen is in our hands,” an indistinguishable voice on the phone said, “Exchange him for the L-type spray, you have three days.”

After that, the call was disconnected.

When Pei Tianyi tried to call back, it had been turned into a disconnected number.

He slammed his hand heavily on the table, veins throbbing in his forehead: “Damn!”

It was indeed a kidnapping.

The kidnappers’ target was still the L-type spray.

They gave them three days, precisely calculating that it would take that long to transport the L-type spray from the laboratory in O Continent.

Yet the right to dispose of the L-type spray was not theirs to decide.

Pei Tianyi, with furrowed brows, continued the new round of location tracking.

But it was still no use.

He stepped away from the computer, extremely anxious.

The L-type spray was also very important; it was the lab’s latest invention.

The door to the conference room was opened at that moment, and several teachers instantly recognized the girl.

Pei Tianyi, already quite irritated, was all the more annoyed upon seeing Ying Zijin: “What are you doing here?”

“Locating,” Ying Zijin walked straight to the computer, glanced at the screen, and then sat down.

Pei Tianyi almost laughed with irritation: “Don’t tell me you’re a hacker too?”

If he couldn’t locate Professor Herwen’s position, could Ying Zijin do it?

Pei Tianyi exhaled and, seeing the progress bar still motionless, reluctantly took out his phone to contact the lab in O Continent.

At that moment, Ying Zijin typed the last symbol and hit the enter key.

The progress bar filled up in an instant, and a black box popped up.
