“It’s more than that. In the southern region, there’s another type of sorcery. The word witchcraft is the combination of this type of sorcery and the poisonous parasite. Normal parasites can be resolved through science, but those types of witchcraft can only be undone by the caster.

Zi Yi found it hard to believe. “When the opportunity arises, I must catch some poisonous parasites to experiment on.”

“Child, not everything can be played around with.” Elder Dou reminded Zi Yi. “It’s best not to get involved in these types of things. The moment you get in contact with it, you can’t shake it off… even if you want to.”

Zi Yi saw that her grandfather’s expression became serious and she nodded while agreeing on the surface. “Alright, I won’t get involved.”

However, she had made up her mind that she would definitely catch one to study, when she had the chance.

This was the first time she knew that this type of thing really existed. If she did not study it, how could she be worthy of her title as the research madman?

Elder Dou no longer continued on this topic after he saw how Zi Yi answered seriously. He then changed the topic to Lu Jingye.

“Lu Jingye is your Fourth Uncle’s student and there’s nothing to question about his character. However, he’s ultimately from the Lu Family and as for Patriarch Lu, I’ve come across him in the past. He’s accustomed to having the final say and is overbearing and unreasonable.

If the two of you were to really get together, you would definitely experience his obstruction in the future. Therefore, you have to think it through properly. As long as you are with Lu Jingye, the road you will walk in the future will not always be smooth.”

“I know.” In fact, Zi Yi was not worried about this in the slightest. “No matter how overbearing Ah Jing’s grandfather is, as long as we get married, he can’t do anything to me out in the open.”

If he were to deal with her under the table, there was no trouble she was unable to resolve.

She just hoped that he would choose to deal with her in the dark. When the time comes, she would not have to take into consideration other people’s feelings.

Elder Dou was unaware of Zi Yi’s train of thought and he continued to speak. “However, if you really marry Little Lu and his grandfather still bothers you, the Dou Family is not some soft persimmon1 that can be eaten however he likes.”

Zi Yi felt deeply moved by his words and she said with a smile, “Grandfather, you don’t have to worry. Right now, Uncle Lu and Auntie Lu are both on my side and it’s enough to have all of your blessings.”

Elder Dou was rather satisfied with Lu Jingye’s parent’s attitude and they talked about meeting them.

Zi Yi also told him about Mrs. Lu’s reply.

Elder Dou nodded his head in satisfaction. “Then let’s find a time as soon as possible to have a meeting.”

“Okay!”

The two of them chatted for a while more, before the First Madam then came in to call her out for dinner.

During dinner, the Dou Family members were all discussing the meeting with Lu Jingye’s parents. Evidently, they had attached great importance to this matter.

In the end, the Dou Family set the meeting date for Saturday night.

Zi Yi still had to go back home and discuss with Elder Hu about the experiment and Lu Yunxiao. In addition, she had to produce several batches of robots these days and so she got up to leave after she finished the meal.

Dou Jingning got Dou Zerui to send her back once again.

Zi Yi looked at him with a smile.

The moment Dou Zerui recalled the sensation of excitement, stronger than that of riding a roller coaster, when he was previously in her car, he hastily shook his head. “I won’t go.”

His words immediately attracted a slap from Dou Zhiyuan. “What’s wrong with asking you to send Yiyi home?”

“Father! We don’t even need to send her at all. The moment she enters her car and activates flight mode, she reaches her home in a flash. There’s no way something would happen to her!”

Zi Yi nodded her head. “What he said is right, I’ll reach home very quickly if I activate flight mode.”

The Dou Family was aware of how miserable Dou Zerui was that day when he sent Zi Yi home. Dou Xiangling had also experienced Zi Yi’s flight mode and so, she said with a smile, “There’s indeed no need for us to worry if Yiyi’s car travels by air. With that kind of speed, no one can catch up to her.”

Since the both of them had spoken, coupled with how Zi Yi was unwilling for them to send her home, the rest of the Dou Family members could only send her out to the courtyard.

After Zi Yi got in her car, she directly activated flight mode and left.

While looking at the car that disappeared in a flash, the Second Madam sighed and said, “Our Yiyi is getting more and more outstanding right now. If she had figured all of this out sooner, how great would that have been?”

The Third Madam suddenly asked, “I’ve not heard of any news about Zi Xu these days. Now that Yiyi has become so outstanding and become closer to us, it’s unexpected that he has never once appeared.”

They were all well aware of what kind of person Zi Xu was. In this type of situation, that person would certainly have made plans to instigate Zi Yi to reap benefits for him once again. However, this person had never appeared at all.

Dou Jingtong was aware of his situation. “I heard that he went over to Country M to develop in a new market.”

The remaining family members were a little surprised.

The Fourth Madam said, “Wasn’t his company’s liquid assets locked up by several large projects just before? Where did he get the money to develop in a new market?”

As soon as the Fourth Madam asked that, the other members also found it weird.

Dou Jingtong thought of a possibility.

“I think that Little Lu was behind this.”

…

Zi Yi soon reached home and just as she walked to the backyard, Lu Jingye appeared before her.

“Ah Jing.”

Zi Yi jogged over to him and came under his umbrella. With a smile on her face, she told him about the Dou Family’s reply.

Lu Jingye’s lips slightly curved up and he pulled her into his embrace. “Alright, I’ll inform my mother shortly.”

When they made their way into the living room, sure enough, there was another mug of milk tea.

Zi Yi directly grabbed the mug and took a sip. “Was there mango added in tonight’s milk tea?”

“Yep. You like it?”

“I do.”

Zi Yi lifted the mug and connected to the secret base. Elder Hu had gone to bed early tonight and had already left the laboratory.

Zi Yi brought out the experimental data on her own and while looking through the numbers, she explained to Lu Jingye about Elder Hu’s achievements today. Following that, both of them checked up on Lu Yunxiao.

As they looked at Lu Yunxiao’s body that was gradually recovering, Zi Yi said with a smile, “By the time we head over to the secret lab, I’ll have made two robots to pose as us. When the time comes, there’s no need to worry about anyone finding out.”

“Okay.”

After finishing the milk tea, both of them went to the basement.

Zi Yi had to make robots and Lu Jingye stood by the side and watched while she worked. After watching for some time, he started helping her out.

The both of them casually chatted as they worked.

Lu Jingye told her about the situation in the business industry these last few days.

“After a few large projects were leaked from the Lu Group, it directly incurred losses of tens of billions. Lu Zhiheng will be very busy these coming days.”

It should be said that he was badly battered from running about. Even if Lu Zhiheng knew that Lu Jingye was behind this, on one hand, he could not find any direct or strong evidence and on the other hand, he wanted to show off to Patriarch Lu that he had the capability to deal with such a situation and so, he could only endure everything.

“Ha, I’d like to see if he has the ability to fill up that hole.”

Zi Yi had already made up her mind of making Patriarch Lu regret his decision and so, her first target was obviously the Lu Group.

She had already inserted a virus in their firewall and it caused their defense system to be breached once every ten days; those hackers would slowly make Lu Zhiheng doubt his reason for existing.

The two of them worked until it was late at night before they finally went to bed.

Early the next morning, Lu Jingye suddenly received a call from the Song Jewelry manager.

After hanging up the phone, he told Zi Yi. “I plan to send out a piece of news that I intend to purchase large quantities of unprocessed stones from Country Em.”
