Chapter 1135: 543 crackdown, protectionism! Warming up the relationship [2 more]_2
The small white dog licked her palm with a pitiful whine and wagged its tail.
“At least we’ve got a Big Sponsor, otherwise we’d be left to the rcy of the northwest winds,” Si Fuqing sighed.
Spurred by hope, the small white dog suddenly began to howl excitedly.
“You want to go straight into a gold mine to feast, do you?” Si Fuqing slapped its head, “Don’t even think about it, rebel girl!”
The small white dog snorted and lazily sunbathed after flipping over.
In its heart, it had already decided that if the Big Sponsor wanted to bring its dog owner ho, the only way to pass this hurdle would be to present it with an inexhaustible gold mine.
Perfect.
“Miss Si!” Feng San hurried over, “Miss Si, soone from the Intercontinental Research Institute is here to see you.”
“Hmm?” Si Fuqing narrowed her eyes and stood up.
“Miss Si, hello,” a middle-aged man in a white research uniform took a step forward and said apologetically, “I’m a mber of the board of trustees at the Intercontinental Research Institute, specifically responsible for Category B personnel. We’re deeply sorry for any distress this incident has caused you due to our lack of consideration in not assigning protection. Please accept our apologies.”
“Hello, no need for formalities,” Si Fuqing nodded slightly, “You don’t need to bla yourselves; ZERO’s people found in ti, and I wasn’t hard.”
Besides the old dean of the chanical Institute, she almost entirely distrusted the Intercontinental Research Institute and naturally would not reveal any information.
The middle-aged man nodded, his expression solemn, “In that case, the Intercontinental Research Institute will dispatch a team to ensure Miss Si’s safety. Please inform us of your usual whereabouts so we can arrange for protection.”
“That won’t be necessary,” Si Fuqing still refused, “ZERO and T18 have already arranged protection for , and I trust them.”
The middle-aged man, aware of ZERO’s and T18’s capabilities, expressed regret, “All right, if Miss Si insists, we won’t force the issue. However, we still hope that Miss Si will co directly to the Intercontinental Research Institute, as it’s the safest place.”
Si Fuqing smiled without responding.
During her peak power period, her laboratory had been tampered with.
Safe?
That’s just a tale for the uninford.
The power struggles within the Intercontinental Research Institute were by no ans less intense than those at Eternity Academy.
At the Academy, conflicts among evolved beings were mostly settled through brute force, but the Research Institute was rife with underhanded tactics.
Si Fuqing had no intention of going back.
The middle-aged man again spoke incessantly about the might of the Intercontinental Research Institute. Seeing that Si Fuqing remained unmoved, he could only leave.
He looked at the girl lying on the grass as if she were a beached fish and shook his head.
Ace of the international competition and yet so careless with the opportunity at hand, she would remain nothing more than a Category B individual in this life.

This explosion incident involved a revenge organization, a matter not within the scope of regional investigators.
Furthermore, due to improper handling of the matter, Feng Zhaoyi was temporarily suspended, granting her an unexpected vacation, though her mood was far from good.
Madam Feng, on the other hand, was delighted, going so far as to hire a state banquet chef from the city of Sijiu to nourish Feng Zhaoyi’s health.
Feng Zhaoyi bit her lip, “Mom, let’s forget about the arranged marriage with the Yu family.”
Madam Feng was surprised but more so relieved, “You’ve finally co to your senses; the other party clearly didn’t have you in their heart, otherwise they wouldn’t have stood you up.”
Feng Zhaoyi said nothing.
She had only seen a photo of Yu Xiheng and indeed liked his face. She had never felt much for mbers of the opposite sex, and the n in her team weren’t as strong as her.
It wasn’t until that man appeared that Feng Zhaoyi understood what being powerful ant; her heart uncontrollably stirred.
What troubled Feng Zhaoyi was that the man seed to have soone in mind already.
Her fingers brushed the cup, her gaze flitting subtly.
“Since that’s how you feel, I’ll talk to the Yu family right away,” Mada Feng took out her phone, contacting Old Master Yu.
The Feng family’s cancellation of the engagent caught Old Master Yu off guard, and considering he couldn’t take his wrath out on the Fengs, he directed all his anger at Yu Xiheng.
After trying the seventh number, Old Master Yu finally got through to Yu Xiheng, “Where exactly are you? Do you realize that Miss Zhaoyi cancelled the engagent because she didn’t et you? Where am I supposed to find soone better for you than Miss Zhaoyi?”
By the end of his tirade, Old Master Yu’s rage intensified, “Are you listening? You, a cripple, unable to walk, if it weren’t for the Yu family taking care of you —”
“Old Master Yu, is it?” Suddenly, a female voice interrupted from the other side, “You needn’t worry about it, Brother Nine is healthy, has a good personality, good looks, and many people are eager for him. He can make his own decisions about his marriage, and even if he were down on his luck, I could support him, without needing any help from the Yu family.”
“When he still considered you folks human, you should’ve at least acted the part. Leave him alone, understand?”
After a round of fiery reprimand, Old Master Yu was completely taken aback.
Si Fuqing didn’t give him the chance to retort and hung up the phone in one fell swoop, promptly blocking him.
“Why did you pick up such a call? You are forbidden from answering in the future,” she frowned, “and you actually listened to such a lengthy tirade degrading you?”
Yu Xiheng was not angry but instead raised an eyebrow, “Are you very angry?”
“Of course I’m angry,” Si Fuqing glared at him, “aren’t you?”
Yu Xiheng closed his eyes slightly, “Hmm, I’m very happy.”
Si Fuqing: “…If your mind’s gone kaput, just tell generously, I can cure it.”
Yu Xiheng’s eyes lifted, as he propped himself on his elbow, “Can you cure anything?”
“Of course,” Si Fuqing snapped her fingers, “If I can’t, I’ll take you to my Master.”
Yu Xiheng’s eyelashes drooped, and he softly chuckled, “You can cure it.”
His gaze was steady and powerful, with a hint of a smile.
Si Fuqing was unwittingly enchanted by his gaze, eting his eyes.
“Thump, thump, thump…”
In that mont, her heartbeat was quicker than it had ever been before.
