The True Heiress Is The Real Bigshot novel Chapter 105

Chapter 105: 103 Boss Ying Is Not a Top Student, But an Academic Expert [3 Updates]

There was a long pause on the other end before a hesitant voice finally spoke up, “Brother, there’s been an accident.”

“Hmm.” Fu Yunshen’s voice was indifferent. “Go on.”

Those four calm words seemed to double the pressure on the other end.

“Brother…” The person on the other end, using an old-school cell phone, fell silent for quite a while, “The medicinal materials posted on the Bounty List by NOK have all been secured, and the guys were just about to ship them to you, but—” He paused, then said with difficulty, “At customs, our medicinal materials were hijacked.”

Upon hearing this, Fu Yunshen’s eyelashes fluttered slightly, his voice even, “I know.”

The other end paused in surprise, “Brother, you’re not surprised?”

“Not surprised.” Fu Yunshen inserted the car key and turned the steering wheel with one hand, “It seems you’ve forgotten whose account was used to post the bounty.”

Silence fell abruptly on the other end: “…”

Indeed, registering an NOK account was a breeze, requiring only a login program.

The hidden section was a place where big shots abounded, often surfacing to chime in on the discussions.

But if you wanted these big shots to take on a bounty, the account ID mattered.

Ordinary IDs were ignored by the big shots.

Even though the NOK forum encrypted the identity of every user, their IDs remained unchanged after all.

Especially Fu Yunshen’s account ID, which was currently still listed on the Bounty List.

A one billion US Dollar bounty attracted many hunters.

But the Bounty List also demonstrated the strength of the bounty targets; the higher the ranking, the stronger the target.

Many hunters were also listed on the Bounty List.

The most mysterious number one on the Bounty List had a solitary code name—Diviner.

The account IDs of bounty targets were highlighted in red on the NOK forum, standing out at first glance.

The hijacking of the medicinal materials proved that another hunter had made a move.

“Brother, you should have said so earlier.” There was finally a voice from the other end again, annoyed, “We should have used a different account.”

“No need.” Fu Yunshen chuckled lightly, “Changing the account doesn’t guarantee that anyone will take the bounty.”

Deep-sea and desert missions were only taken by hunters ranked within the top twenty on various bounty lists.

When they accepted bounties, apart from the money, they also considered whether it could bring them any benefits.

An ordinary ID’s bounty, no matter how much money was offered, simply couldn’t attract them.

“That’s true.” There was silence again on the other end, “Brother, don’t worry, the guys have already tracked down the other party and ensure to deliver the medicinal materials safely to Hua Country.”

In fact, even they didn’t know exactly where Fu Yunshen was.

Every time they delivered goods, it was always to the customs closest to O continent in Hua Country.

“No need, just keep a close watch,” Fu Yunshen’s fingers tapped on the steering wheel, “I’ll go personally.”

Inside the study.

Fu Mingcheng still sat in his chair, his brows deeply furrowed.

After a knock, Madam Fu pushed open the door, “Mingcheng, I’ve just cut some fresh fruit. Have some.”

Fu Mingcheng looked up, his focus wasn’t on the fruit plate though, “Has he left?”

“He has.” Madam Fu paused for a moment, her maternal affection for Fu Yunshen gone in front of outsiders, her expression cold, “After Old Master Fu went to bed, he left.”

“Old Master Fu is really too muddle-headed!” Fu Mingcheng slammed a stack of papers down hard, “Yichen and the others might not understand, but how could Old Master Fu not understand himself? To think he’s actually willing to give away the Imperial Fragrance House?”

Imperial Fragrance House was Fu Corporation’s flagship industry and among the top ten perfume brands in Hua Country.

Although it couldn’t yet compare with foreign luxury brands, it had already entered the top fifty enterprises in the country.

If Imperial Fragrance House were given away just like that, it would mean Fu Corporation was losing half its empire.

A wastrel, incompetent in all aspects, why should he take over Imperial Fragrance House?

By doing this, Old Master Fu was blatantly ignoring the wishes of the rest of his descendants.

“Alright, stop getting angry, Mingcheng,” Madam Fu soothed his shoulders, her voice softening, “He didn’t end up taking it, right? Old Master Fu is still around and will consider the whole company in the end. He won’t be so rash.”

“He won’t.” The sarcasm in Fu Mingcheng’s words was heavy, “As soon as it comes to his business, Old Master Fu becomes blind to everything else.”

Madam Fu sighed, “Old Master Fu acts out of guilt.”

“Twenty years of atonement is more than enough,” Fu Mingcheng snorted coldly, “I really don’t understand what goes through Old Master Fu’s mind all day.”

“Mingcheng, speaking of which, I find Old Master Fu’s recent behavior quite unusual,” Madam Fu frowned, “Three years ago, the doctor had already issued a critical illness notice, but Old Master Fu’s health seems to have actually improved.”

Fu Mingcheng didn’t dwell too much on it, but his anger intensified, “Who do you think Old Master Fu is hanging on for? If not for him, Fu Yunshen?”

He paused, then softened his tone, “However, Old Master Fu’s body has been depleted for too long and can’t hold on much longer. We need to shift his focus onto Yihan while he is still alive.”

Madam Fu nodded and then left the study.

The following day, at noon.

Ying Zijin’s eyes narrowed slightly when she saw the message from Fu Yunshen on WeChat.

Ever since she became familiar with the naive kids from Class 19, he had been asking her out for lunch less and less frequently.

It seemed that as long as she had company, he was reassured.
