The True Heiress Is The Real Bigshot

Chapter 331: 320 Dominance, Ying Zijin’s Connections [3 Updates]

“`

But no one noticed Ying Zijin, as they were all too busy dealing with the chaos caused by Professor Herwen and the L-type spray.

Pei Tianyi had already dialed a string of numbers, while the other teachers were contacting different people separately.

Meanwhile, as a teacher stood up, he inadvertently glanced at the computer screen.

His expression suddenly froze, and he shouted in surprise.

Including Pei Tianyi, the other teachers within the research investigation team did not believe that Ying Zijin’s computer skills were capable of tracking Professor Herwen’s exact location.

Pei Tianyi was able to join the team because his computer skills were very high, no less than an ordinary programmer, and even stronger.

Plus, being a college student, he had ample time.

But even Pei Tianyi couldn’t locate Professor Herwen, so how could anyone else?

How could a high school student compare with Pei Tianyi in terms of computer skills?

Yet the fact lay before their eyes: Ying Zijin indeed used the micro tracker Pei Tianyi had placed on Herwen to locate him.

Hearing the teacher’s shout, Pei Tianyi suppressed his impatience and turned around.

He had wanted to scold him, but when he saw the line “Target Locked,” his eyes widened instantly.

Pei Tianyi stopped his hand that was about to press the call button and quickly returned to the computer side, feeling incredulous.

He had spent an hour and had not been able to track down Herwen’s location.

But Ying Zijin only used the computer for a minute or two.

Pei Tianyi remembered the words he had said earlier and stiffened.

A high school student really had computer skills that didn’t lose to a hacker’s?

Pei Tianyi pressed his lips together, feeling like the box on the computer screen was glaringly slapping his face, and his whole body became agitated.

He prided himself on being a genius, and had never been so humiliated before.

At that moment, another box popped up on the screen.

[In ten seconds, the tracking device will be destroyed.]

[Ten, nine, eight…]

“Quick,” Pei Tianyi said excitedly, “this is the preset program, we need to record the coordinates quickly.”

Ying Zijin ignored him, zoomed in on the map, took a glance, and had an idea.

Pei Tianyi was a Chinese descendant who had lived in O continent since childhood and was not familiar with Hua Country, let alone know which building this coordinate was.

“You…” Pei Tianyi looked up, wanting to call out to the girl.

He had just uttered one word when Ying Zijin stood up and left the vicinity of the computer.

She walked up to another teacher: “What is the L-type spray?”

That teacher was startled before turning around hastily and began to explain: “The L-type spray is the latest product from the laboratory, developed over five full years; it can rapidly regenerate skin and capillaries.”

“Depending on the size of the wound, spray a different dosage, and as long as it’s not too fatal and dangerous, it’s enough to make the wound heal quickly, without any process.”

After listening, Ying Zijin pondered for a moment, “Is that all?”

Just this spray was worth the effort of kidnapping Herwen?

Once something happened to Herwen, the entire academic community would be outraged.

Even if the other party could hide well, they would be exposed sooner or later.

That teacher was taken aback by the question and replied uncertainly, “Isn’t that… enough?”

Without even requiring surgery, wounds could heal and skin could be repaired; once the efficacy of the L-type spray was exposed, it would cause a global sensation.

However, there were currently only three containers of L-type spray produced, and the materials needed were very scarce. The laboratory had not announced it to the outside world yet.

Because Ying Zijin had successfully located Professor Herwen, Pei Tianyi’s tone also softened as he explained, “You might not understand biomedical research; the L-type spray is a major invention.”

Ying Zijin pressed her head.

She had, in fact, forgotten something.

In the alchemy world and the ancient medical field, such medicines had long been available, and the effectiveness of the L-type spray was not even as good as the ointment Fu Yunshen gave her.

However, both in the alchemy world and the ancient medical field, too few people knew about it.

Needless to say, these two places were completely isolated from the outside world.

Neither alchemists nor ancient medical practitioners would expose their core technologies.

Especially since alchemy had already surpassed the natural realm, it naturally had to be kept secret.

Thus, the L-type spray was indeed very important.

Ying Zijin didn’t say anything else and got up to leave the conference room.

Pei Tianyi frowned but had no time to follow her.

He handed the coordinates he had recorded to another teacher and then called the O continent laboratory.

Since the L-type spray was very important and the experiment was invested in by a large financial consortium from the O continent, they needed to use the L-type spray to trade for Herwen and had to get the approval from the financial consortium.

After Pei Tianyi finished speaking, the laboratory quickly reported the message further up.

The response was faster than Pei Tianyi had expected; five minutes later, the call came through, and it was from a representative of the large financial consortium.

“`

“Sorry, we’re not going to trade Professor Herwen for the L-type spray, you’ll have to figure it out yourselves.”

A cold sentence, devoid of any emotion.

Before Pei Tianyi could even say anything, the other party had already hung up the phone.

He was utterly shocked.

The other teachers shook their heads and sighed.

Indeed, to that large financial consortium, evidently, Professor Herwen’s life was not as important as the L-type spray, this new invention.

“Damn it.” Pei Tianyi was so furious he could barely see straight, putting on his clothes and heading out, “I’m going to meet up with Shanghai Police and wait there.”

All he could do was pray that the kidnappers wouldn’t tear up the ticket in their anger.

On the other side.

Ying Zijin leaned against a tree and made a phone call, “Young Master Nie, there’s a tricky situation, I need an elite team.”

When Nie Yi heard the word “elite,” he realized something was wrong and asked in a grave voice, “What happened?”

The Yi Character Team had a total of ten teams on the surface.

Beneath the surface, there were two more teams.

These two teams were known as the “Elite Team.”

Because all the members in these two teams were ancient martial artists with profound inner strength, capable of stunning feats like those seen in TV dramas, where martial artists leap onto roofs and vault over walls effortlessly, even more formidable in reality.

“An international top-notch professor has been kidnapped,” Ying Zijin calmly said, narrowing her eyes slightly, “I need manpower.”

Although she had replenished the origin of her body, she was not supposed to use ancient martial arts during this period.

She was also unclear about the kidnappers’ capabilities.

But she guessed that among those who kidnapped Herwen, there must be a hypnotist.

Otherwise, the bodyguards protecting Herwen would not have lost their memories of that period of time.

“Alright,” said Nie Yi, “I’ll send someone right away.”

Scholarship has no borders; should a top-level professor disappear, it would be a loss to the entire world.

Nie Yi hung up and immediately went to make arrangements.

At five o’clock, Zuo Li rushed over from the capital.

He went directly to meet Pei Tianyi, with the police also present.

They were still a hundred meters away from the place where Herwen had been kidnapped.

They didn’t dare to get too close, afraid of being discovered.

Pei Tianyi’s brows were tightly furrowed as he called out, “Professor Zuo Li.”

“How is it going?” Zuo Li was also anxious, “Did they say what they want in exchange for releasing him?”

Pei Tianyi was silent for a moment before he spoke, “They want the L-type spray, but—”

He recounted the earlier events.

Zuo Li was furious, “They only have profit in their eyes, they’re really not human!”

“We still can’t contact them right now.” Pei Tianyi sighed, looking straight ahead, “We can only wait for them to contact us.”

Zuo Li found there was nothing he could do to help and felt very anxious until he saw a familiar person.

For some reason, the breath he had been holding relaxed, “Classmate Ying.”

Pei Tianyi was taken aback and turned around.

“No, no.” Zuo Li came back to his senses, “This place is too dangerous, you can’t stay here.”

Ying Zijin arched an eyebrow, speaking four words in a composed manner, “Eradicate violence, bring peace.”

Zuo Li: “…”

He had forgotten, this young lady could take on several grown men by herself, surely stronger than he was.

“Indeed, you shouldn’t be here.” Pei Tianyi frowned, “If something happens later, we won’t be able to protect you, it would be better for you and Professor Zuo Li to go back and wait for news.”

“No need, no need.” Zuo Li waved his hands, speaking up for Ying Zijin, “I’m not some top-tier professor, they wouldn’t care to kidnap me.”

Ying Zijin took out her phone and glanced at the time.

In ten minutes, the elite team would arrive.

She pondered for a moment and decided to post on the NOK forum to ask for advice.

Pei Tianyi’s gaze swept over and suddenly paused.

On the girl’s phone, he saw a familiar image.

It was the tenth card of Tarot Major Arcana, the Hermit.

It was also the login icon for the NOK forum.

Pei Tianyi was stunned, his gaze uncontrollably falling on the login ID.
