The Mysterious Heiress: Researcher In Disguise

Fu Zhi was pulled to the back by Lu Yumo. She rolled up her invisible sleeve and shouted at Director Liu, who was standing not far away, “Xiao Liu! Chen Shan has violated the rules again!”

“Hmm?” Director Liu sized Chen Shan up meaningfully. “Do you have evidence?”

Fu Zhi nodded. “Yes!”

She showed her elbow to Director Liu and said, “All of them have seen it. Chen Shan deliberately came behind me and used his stomach to hit my elbow. Can you see the red weal? It hurts so much.”

Her skin was particularly fair, and there was indeed a morbidly tiny wound on her elbow.

Fu Zhi ran up to Director Liu and the school doctor. “I’m not lying. He really hit me. Look at my elbow!”

‘After all, you guys will not have the chance to look at it anymore after the mark disappears.’

Director looked at the red welt and then looked at Chen Shan, whose face was deathly pale right now. After a short while of contemplation, he decided to go along with Fu Zhi and said, his eyes filled with tears, “Oh my gosh, why is it so serious? Will you have to amputate your arm? Oh, my good girl, you really have sacrificed and suffered too much for No.1 High School!”

The school doctor of No.1 High School was a ferocious-looking young man who specialized in Western medicine. After seeing the interaction between Fu Zhi and Director Liu, he decided to join the fray and put his fingers on Fu Zhi’s wrist to take her pulse. “Your pulse is weak, and there isn’t much time left for you. This is so saddening…”

Fu Zhi said, “Speak the human language.”

The school doctor hastily replied, “He injured you, so he has to pay you!”

‘Alright then.’

Fu Zhi turned around and looked at Chen Shan. “I heard that every student in your school is rich, so I guess a three-bedroom apartment in a prime location would not be too much, right?”

Chen Shan was stumped.

‘She’s the one who hit me and she still wants me to pay her?! Besides, this is the first time I’ve heard of beating someone with your abdomen instead of your hands and feet!’

Both Wu Zhiheng and Ouyang Ya walked up to the crowd, their expressions ugly. “Director Liu, I believe the masses have sharp eyes. It’s apparent who’s more seriously injured, right?”

“Nope, nope,” Ma Mingquan chimed in. “Being happy is just an excuse to avoid shedding tears. Fu Zhi just doesn’t want us to worry about her, so she hides her pain behind her smile!”

Fu Zhi was speechless.

‘Well, that’s an exaggeration.’

Ouyang Ya paid no heed to Ma Mingquan. She looked straight at Director Liu and pressed on. “So you guys are not going to do something about it? Fu Zhi hit our player, and you’re not going to punish her? This is the way No.1 High School does things?”

“Let’s ignore whether Fu Zhi really violated the rules or not.” Song Fang came forward. He studied Chen Shan from head to toe before looking at Ouyang Ya and continuing mockingly. “He just got accidentally elbowed by a girl while she was making a shot. It’s not that big of a deal at all, yet he has to act as if he’s in a lot of pain. Don’t you think it’s a little too exaggerated?”

“That’s right. Lu Yumo got hit in the stomach and sprained his wrist, yet he took it like a man!”

“It’s said that force acts on both interacting objects. If Chen Shan is really in that much pain, then Fu Zhi’s arm must be broken! Fu Zhi didn’t even shed a tear, yet he yelped like a girl!”

“You guys deserve it! You’re the ones who violated the rules first.”

The students on the bleachers chimed in one after another, their emotions so high that even the teachers could not contain them.

Director Liu shrugged. “We do have cameras in the gymnasium. How about we pause the game and watch the surveillance footage to see who violated the rules first?”

Every teacher knew what had happened during the match, and Director Liu did not think it was better to be straightforward when talking to smart people.

If they chose to continue the game, Fu Zhi could keep on “accidentally” hitting them with her elbow. If they chose not to continue the match, once it was verified that they were the ones who had violated the rules first, No.1 High School would win the game.

In any case, No.1 High School would be the winner. Thus, Director Liu was not afraid.

However, things were different for Ouyang Ya. She just wanted to win the game. After she took a deep breath, she said, “Alright then, let’s continue the match. I hope Fu Zhi won’t get injured again!”

Grinning from ear to ear, Director Liu replied, “Well, we can’t say for sure what will happen during the competition, right?”

Ouyang Ya looked at Fu Zhi, but Fu Zhi paid her no heed. She just returned to the bleachers.

There was a 15-minute break before the match would start again.

As Gou Qi helped Chen Shan join their team, Fu Zhi suddenly hollered at them, “Let’s make a bet!”

Covering his stomach, Chen Shan raised his head and answered listlessly, “What do you want to bet on?”

“I’m not short of money these days, but I’m looking for a ‘nephew’ to take care of me,” Fu Zhi said as she pointed at Lu Yumo. “If you lose, you and your friend are going to call my brother ‘dad’ and be filial sons who take care of him around the clock. If we lose, we will do the same for you guys.”

Lu Yumo was stunned.

He waved the pom-pom in his hand vigorously and said, “They don’t have to be my filial sons, as I didn’t raise them. I’m worried that they might actually dump their own father, and I don’t want that to happen. How about this? If they lose, they will use this loudspeaker and call me ‘dad’ three times!”

Gou Qi was still calm enough not to argue with a girl. After he heard what Lu Yumo said, he let out a scoff and said, “Is there no one else in the Lu Family? Lu Yubai is your cousin, so why didn’t he stand up for you? Besides, how can you let your sister, a girl, play basketball with us? I’ve never involved my sister in my affairs before. Don’t you feel ashamed of yourself?”

“So? His sister loves him, so she’s willing to do all this for him,” Fu Zhi said, looking straight at Gou Qi. “As for your sister, I have no idea why you sound proud when your own sister doesn’t care about you at all.”

Gou Qi was speechless.

Lu Yumo straightened his back and said, “The psychic said that out of the 10 women I come across, 9 will fall in love with me and 1 will be obsessed with me. This is something that a poor guy who is not loved by anyone will never be able to experience!”

Gou Qi did not know what to say.

He was good at playing dirty when it came to basketball, but this was the first time he came across a shameless person like Lu Yumo. He’d initially wanted to mock Lu Yumo, but instead of making Lu Yumo look bad, he had made himself look like a person that nobody loved.
