Chapter 531: Chapter 535: Who Moved My Body (Part 7)

Cao Zhiyu’s heart ached terribly.

Since the moment he met Xixi, he had always held her dearly in the palm of his hand. She had never endured such humiliation.

The Su Family deserved to die for enjoying so many conveniences from him yet still treating Xixi this way.

Had it not been for Xixi saying she’d never experienced the feeling of having parents before, and had she known from the beginning that the Su couple was not her biological parents, he would have separated them long ago.

Then there wouldn’t be such troubles now.

As soon as he had noticed something off about Xixi’s health, he kept the situation under control.

Suddenly, a thought crossed Cao Zhiyu’s mind, wondering if the Su couple was playing mind games with him using a Blinding Technique.

Despite how they acted, it might well be that they had intentionally let Su Li go.

The more he thought about it, the more it seemed likely, and Cao Zhiyu decided to teach them a lesson.

In front of everyone present, he made a phone call.

Su Junjie, listening on, received a heavy blow from this future son-in-law he’d been pleased with.

First, the position named under the Cao Family’s company was taken away, followed by the cancellation of jobs for the Su and Zhu Family’s relatives and friends, which had been secured through the Cao Family’s connections in unimportant positions.

Su Junjie, with his heart pounding, listened as Cao Zhiyu issued a series of orders one after another. His face twitched as he tried to close in and beg for mercy.

But Cao Zhiyu did it on purpose; a word or two from Su Junjie couldn’t sway him.

He needed to let the Su and Zhu families know how much they had benefited from him.

Having upset him, he could make them live or die at his whim.

Su Junjie wore a grim expression, and before he could grovel like a dog, his phone exploded with calls and messages.

Catching a glimpse of the flashing names on the screen, Su Junjie dared not answer the phone.

It was nothing but calls from relatives and friends who had benefited, questioning him.

Cao Zhiyu stood with his arms folded, smiling but not quite smiling, and said, "Why aren’t you answering your phone?"

"See, just with one word from me, you need to spit out everything you’ve eaten."

Then, Su Junjie received a series of credit notices and repayment demands from the company’s finance department.

Stunned, he stammered, "I... I never did any of this..."

Cao Zhiyu said, "It doesn’t matter if you did or didn’t. I say it’s there... messing with you takes only a minute."

Zhuersi, frightened by this turn of events, shrank into a corner, pale-faced like a cabbage ravaged by storm.

Her predicament was just like Su Junjie’s, with her phone overwhelmed by various calls and messages from her family.

Others witnessing this oppression of commoners by the wealthy kept cool and silent, either drinking tea or remaining quiet.

Finally, Su Junjie couldn’t take it any longer., Bursting into tears and sniffling without any dignity, he threw himself forward and clutched at Cao Zhiyu’s feet, promising repeatedly, "Young Master Cao, rest assured, I will definitely bring that disobedient girl back."

"Just give me some time. I know my daughter, and she’s always been exceptionally filial to her mother and me."

"It might just be that she’s not able to accept it for the time being."

Su Junjie knew his daughter very well; his confidence came from the meticulous care she had provided him for eighteen years.

Of course, eighteen years of familial love and consideration couldn’t match the contentment of living a life of luxury for two years.

Not only he, but Zhuersi also quickly made a choice.

Cao Zhiyu kicked away the object on his leg with disgust and bellowed, "Then hurry up. I’ll give you three days; I want to see Su Li standing in front of me."

After hanging up the phone, Su Li ordered another snack at a roadside stall.

She ate slowly, and when she had finished the food in the bowl, the person she was waiting for appeared.

It was a shabby-looking, middle-aged man with disheveled hair that looked greasy enough to fry and yellow-stained fingertips holding a cigarette. However, he didn’t smoke it; he just let it burn down on its own.

When the cigarette was nearly burnt out and about to scald his fingers, he threw it on the ground, stamped out the lingering sparks under his foot, and then lit another.

This man’s destination was the same stall.

The stall owner seemed very familiar with the man. Even as some people, unable to stand the man’s overpowering odor, quickly paid and left, the stall owner didn’t get angry but instead greeted him enthusiastically.

"Brother Zhou, what would you like today?"

The middle-aged man, with a listless drop of his eyelids, said slowly, "The usual three items."

"All right. Fried noodles, marinated pork, and thick soup; just wait a bit, and it’ll be ready shortly."

"Mhm," the middle-aged man replied vaguely, looking utterly dejected.

This man was the target Su Li wanted to approach—the first scientist in Yanhuang Country to introduce the concept of Intelligent Brain.

However, after starting this project, due to unknown reasons, he had handed over all his project materials to his students halfway through and then disappeared without a trace.

Although his students were competent, they paled in comparison to Zhou Shengsheng. Even with their tutor’s guidelines, despite their efforts, they only managed to develop more sophisticated robots. The original concept of the Intelligent Brain proposed by Zhou Shengsheng diverged too much, and now it had even been commercialized, significantly diminishing its value.

Su Li fiddled with her phone, quickly filtering through massive amounts of information online, bringing up what she wanted to know.

Having experienced numerous worlds, Su Li was not even sure how many skills she possessed.

She had lived through the interstellar era and had been a scientist; to her, intelligence was not just a concept but something that could be actually implemented.

She could materialize the Intelligent Brain by herself, but considering her plans ahead, she felt it was proper to legislate it through an intermediary.

Conveniently, Zhou Shengsheng was in the same city as Su Li.

Nobody would have guessed that this dejected man, despised by many, was once a great scientist.

It seemed that Zhou Shengsheng had completely abandoned the experiences of his earlier life and was content living hidden in the bustling, noisy streets as an utterly ordinary and insignificant commoner.

Su Li plopped down in the seat next to Zhou Shengsheng, causing the other patrons who had hesitated to leave to gasp.

Who would have thought the beautiful woman had such peculiar taste?

Zhou Shengsheng, not even changing his hunched and downcast posture, appeared unaffected by the slight gasps around him.

He remained immersed in his own world, lost in thoughts unknown.?
