The UP Group was one of the top ten global corporations globally and even though the loss of 100 billion was incapable of damaging their roots, it was still equivalent to cutting off a large piece of their flesh.

Zi Yi could imagine Rick gnashing his teeth in anger but finding that he was helpless to do anything.

Lu Jingye touched Zi Yi’s face and said, “When I finish up here, I’ll play around with the UP Group.”

Zi Yi nodded her head, placed her tablet to one side, and pushed the blanket open as she said, “Quick, come join me.”

Lu Jingye removed his shoes, walked over and hugged her waist as they both lay down on the bed.

Zi Yi leaned her head on his chest while her fingers played around with the button of his pajamas. “Someone has been helping him, Little Loli hasn’t been able to approach him at all. After my examinations end, I’m thinking of heading over to meet with the helper that is backing him.”

Lu Jingye held onto her naughty hand which had extended into his pajamas and was resting on his chest. “It just so happens that I will also be leaving for Country Em when your examinations end.”

Zi Yi looked up at him. “We’re rich now, are you still planning to go?”

“Yes. I’ll act according to the previous plans.”

Zi Yi thought about it and laughed. “You’re planning to make a few families fall into ruin then?”

Lu Jingye did not answer, but it was obvious that was his intention.

The both of them chatted for a while more before Zi Yi urged Lu Jingye to sleep. “Stop talking and sleep early today. If you don’t take a good rest now, your body won’t be able to take it.”

Having said that, she muttered at the end, “The previous time… your endurance time became shorter.”

Lu Jingye: “…”

Lu Jingye held on to her waist tightly as he pondered if he should still take care of her the next time she asked him to stop, so that he can let her fully understand with her body if his endurance had dropped or not.

Early in the morning the next day, Zi Yi was awakened by a palm that was roaming all around her body.

Traces of electric currents spread all over her body.

She opened her eyes as she gasped for air.

In the next second, Lu Jingye’s body flipped over and he was on top of her.

“Ah Jing?”

Lu Jingye said with a smile on his face, “To prove to you whether my endurance has dropped, I feel that we should have a good try this morning.”

Ugh…

A hand of his had roamed upwards as he said that.

Zi Yi lightly moaned and said innocently, “When have I ever said your endurance has dropped?”

He had wronged her.

“Last night.”

Lu Jingye remembered it clearly.

“I didn’t!”

Zi Yi argued back. “I only said that you haven’t had a good night’s sleep for the past few days.”

That was clearly what she wanted to express instead.

Lu Jingye did not bother listening to her explanation and quickly removed her pajamas in a smooth manner.

Following that, he did not even give her the chance to speak and sealed her lips.

…

This time around, no matter how Zi Yi pleaded for him to stop, Lu Jingye did not let her off easily anymore.

It lasted until the man had his fill. Zi Yi did not even have the strength to lift her fingers and only then did the battle end.

Zi Yi laid on his chest and asked while panting, “What time is it now?”

Lu Jingye took his phone and took a glance. “It’s 9 a.m.”

“…”

The next second, Zi Yi buried her head in the dip of his collarbone and complained bitterly. “You’re a big, bad guy.”

Lu Jingye massaged her with one hand and he asked, “Do you think I’ve proved myself sufficiently? We can still continue if not.”

“Enough, it’s enough!” Zi Yi raised her head and revealed a pitiful expression. “My waist hurts… and it feels uncomfortable down there.”

Lu Jingye continued giving her a massage as he asked in a stern voice, “Will you say such words again in the future?”

Zi Yi’s mind started working and in the next second, the hand massaging her waist reached downwards.

“No! I won’t say it anymore.” Zi Yi admitted to her mistakes in a rather spineless manner. “I won’t say it ever again. You are the best!”

Lu Jingye was satisfied with her response and made sure to remember her words of acquittal clearly.

The both of them rested on the bed for some time before they got up from bed and went to wash up.

As they woke up late today, Lu Jingye got his subordinates to deliver the meal over instead.

After breakfast, Zi Yi headed to the lab, while Lu Jingye headed for Lu Yunxiao’s courtyard.

Elder Hu waited in the lab early in the morning. After treating Lu Yunxiao, he was curious as to how Zi Yi was planning to treat Dou Xiangling.

Elder Hu had clearly been waiting too long and at the sight of Zi Yi making her way over at this time, he asked, “Little Zi, don’t tell me you guys stayed up late again last night?”

Zi Yi nodded without the slightest trace of guilt. “Yes, that’s why we woke up so late in the morning.”

Having said that, they headed for the ward Dou Xiangling was staying in.

Elder Hu was still lecturing her along the way. “Don’t think that you can burn the midnight oil just because you’re still young. When you reach my age, you will regret it.”

Zi Yi smiled at him. “We don’t burn the midnight oil every day.”

If they really did burn the midnight oil every day, there was no need to mention that her Ah Jing could not take it, but even she herself can’t endure it either.

Elder Hu was completely unaware of the thoughts inside Zi Yi’s head and was rather satisfied with her attitude, which made him stop his lecture.

When the both of them arrived at the ward and saw Dou Xiangling lying on the bed, Elder Hu asked, “Little Zi, what are your treatment plans for her?”

“I’ll take out her heart.”

“Ah?”

Elder Hu was startled. “If you take out her heart, can she still remain alive?”

“Yes.”

Elder Hu was silent for a long time before he said, “I really can’t imagine how you are able to take out someone’s heart and put it back after storing it outside for a few days… How will you do it?”

When Elder Hu asked that question, his heart had unconsciously started beating faster. He was nervous and a little excited.

He subconsciously felt that Zi Yi was able to accomplish this feat.

Zi Yi glanced at Elder Hu’s expression and pointed toward the nutrient solution chamber placed at the side.

“Elder Hu, don’t underestimate the function of the nutrient solution chamber. It can maintain all the normal functions in a person’s body and in addition, I will seal off all the acupuncture points near her heart when I am taking out her heart. It won’t be a problem.”

“But there are numerous blood vessels in the heart area. What if these blood vessels burst when the heart is taken out?”

“They won’t. I prepared a mechanical heart, so that when my cousin’s heart is taken out, the mechanical heart will immediately replace the original one. The mechanical heart can automatically adjust to all the pressures within the blood vessels.”

“…!”

Zi Yi looked at Elder Hu’s eyes widened in shock and she chuckled and said, “Elder Hu, calm down.”

Elder Hu: “…”

How could he possibly calm down?

His heart was beating extremely fast. Elder Hu swallowed his saliva with great difficulty and in the next second, his voice suddenly rose in pitch. “Little Zi, how did you come up with this method? Have you ever done such an experiment before?”

“Yes, I have.”

She had practiced this backward experiment in the virtual space several times. In the end, she found it a waste of time and put it on hold.

Elder Hu’s outlook was overturned by Zi Yi’s words, but he was also looking forward to seeing how Zi Yi could complete this operation.

However, Zi Yi suddenly said, “The Lu Family wants to request for you to treat Patriarch Lu of the parasite poison.”

Elder Hu was stunned for a moment before he asked, “When will I be heading over?”

He hasn’t been in contact with the outside world for quite some time, but Zi Yi did tell him about Patriarch Lu’s condition when she arrived here.

He thought that Zi Yi would be the one treating him instead.

“Of course, the sooner the better.”

After Zi Yi said that, she headed over to Dou Xiangling’s side.

Elder Hu tagged along and his expression revealed his internal struggle. “Little Zi, when do you plan to operate on your cousin.”

If he did not watch Zi Yi complete the operation, he felt that he would not be in the right frame of mind to perform well when he went back to treat Patriarch Lu.

Zi Yi saw through his thoughts and said, “I will be operating today.”

She had gotten the robots in charge of experiments back in her villa to create the mechanical heart and it would be delivered at noon.
