Chapter 265
On the other end of the phone was Feng Butler.
He reported on what had happened at the hospital.
“What?” The Feng family head frowned, “You said Birch had a sedative and now that he’s awake, he’s making more noise? Meaning he’s coming over to the training camp?”
Housekeeper Feng was also worried, “Yes, young master he’s particularly agitated, master, could he have been hit with a bad nerve? But the doctor didn’t test for shadows in his brain either, saying everything is normal.”
“You watch him first.” The Feng family head said, “Hua’er is so badly injured, his emotions must be stabilised before he can be helped to recover from his injuries, if that’s not possible, have the doctor administer another tranquiliser.”
He had also contacted the Dynasty ktv side.
It was finally confirmed that Ying Zigui really had no background at all.
But that wasn’t enough to rea*sure him. The Feng family head sent someone to check again and found out that Ying Zidian was the adopted daughter of a powerful family in Shanghai, but she had been kicked out of the family now.
After bugging the Feng housekeeper, the Feng family head followed the bodyguards and went around the right back through the gra*s.
The training camp was in the suburbs and was very quiet and there were not many people around.
The few bodyguards were professionally trained and they specifically avoided the surveillance area, first sending the Feng family head inside the wall before following him over the wall.
The journey was smooth.
The training camp was large, but with only twelve trainees, plus a few teachers and professors, it was very empty.
The Feng family master followed the map instructions and arrived with his bodyguards at the innermost girls’ flat.
It was a small three-storey house, with lights on and curtains drawn in every room.
The Xiu family side told him that Ying Ziji lived in the house on the right side of the third floor.
The Feng family head narrowed his eyes, “You guys go up first, then pull me up.”
He was going to take down the man who had seriously injured his son with his own hands.
With that, the Feng family head looked around cautiously again, once again confirming that no one had spotted this side, and the heart he was carrying finally dropped.
He wouldn’t have touched the students in the Talent Protection Programme anyway, it was only one Ying Ziji, one less wouldn’t be a problem.
Five minutes later, the Feng family leader managed to enter the third floor.
Apart from Ying Zidian, there were also Teng Yun Meng and Xiu Yan on the third floor.
The Feng family head gave one of the bodyguards a wink and told him to open the door.
The bodyguard complied, took out his tools and started to open the door.
In a matter of ten seconds or so, the lock opened.
The Feng family head immediately pushed the door and rushed in.
But as soon as he entered, he bumped into a solid wall of flesh.
The Feng family head was somewhat baffled.
The bodyguards who were following him were also stunned.
There was no girl in the bedroom at all, but four tall young men.
They were wearing uniformed uniforms with a badge pinned to the top left corner of their clothes.
Team One, Team Two and Team Three.
“After crouching for so long, this dog finally came on his own.” The second captain snorted coldly, not even giving the Feng family master time to react, taking out his handcuffs and cuffing him, “You kid are really cautious too, at the first sign of any movement, you don’t dare to move, where’s the guts to call for an arrest?”
The Feng family head buzzed, failing for a moment to understand what the words meant.
He looked up mechanically, just in time to see the badge on the second captain’s chest.
As if remembering something, the Feng family head’s body shivered violently and trembled in shock: “The One, One Word Team?!”
The last time the One Word Team had made a big move in the imperial capital was back in March.
What the Wu family had been doing in the shadows had suddenly all been turned upside down, and involved a plane accident and car crash that had ended the entire Wu family.
This put all the big and small families in the imperial capital on edge.
Apart from the tightly controlled families like the Mu and Nie families, not many hadn’t touched some grey areas.
Only most of them did not harm anyone by breaking the law, and were within the normal range.
But if they were targeted by the One Word Team, anything could be dug up.
The Feng family head had stopped functioning, he couldn’t understand at all why the One Word Team was also targeting the Feng family.
Within so many families in the imperial capital, the Feng family was simply inconspicuous.
“But it still came running to the door.” The third captain grinned, “No, catching a turtle in a jar, you can’t blame us for wanting to send you in.”
“What’s the point of talking to him.” The second captain gestured for the other two team members to come forward and cuff the bodyguards as well, “Take them away.”
**
Ying Zidian was not at the training camp.
This was because Sheng Qingtang had also come to the imperial capital specifically.
After learning that Mu Weifeng’s illness had been cured, Sheng Qingtang invited her to dinner at the Chinese Calligraphy Artists’ a*sociation’s own restaurant.
“Little divine Doctor, thank you so much.” Sheng Qingtang carried a few home-grown grapefruit over, “If it wasn’t for you, I really wouldn’t have a disciple in this life.”
Mu Weifeng was still recuperating, but was now able to get out of bed.
Once this illness had been removed, he also called Sheng Qingtang to report that he was ready to worship.
Ying Ziji took a piece of osmanthus rice cake and nodded slightly: “As I said before, I see fate in healing people, and your disciple is considered to have fate.”
If she hadn’t gone to see Mu Weifeng’s destiny dial that night, she wouldn’t have known what his condition was.
By the time she got to the appointed day, Mu Weifeng might have gone there first.
“Hehehe, that’s a real destiny.” Sheng Qingtang suddenly became happy, and he said tentatively, “Little divine Doctor, since there is a destiny, do you think we should-”
Ying Zidian raised his eyes, his voice cold and clear: “What?”
“Nothing, nothing.” Sheng Qingtang swallowed the words that followed, “Little divine Doctor, eat, this kind of dessert is only available here, I’ll get you a meal card later, you can come anytime.”
He actually kind of wanted to set up his apprentice and the little divine doctor, but for his safety’s sake, he’d better not ask.
Ying Ziji made a rare comment, “It tastes good.”
“That’s not true.” Sheng Qingtang was smug, “The chef here was tricked back from abroad by me with a Chinese painting, he worked in a three Michelin star restaurant and is a very good cook.”
After a moment’s thought, he added, “Little divine Doctor, it’s too late today, the a*sociation’s side is already off duty, anyway, you’ve come to the Imperial City, why don’t you just find some time and get your identity card?”
Ying Ziji pondered a little: “The day after tomorrow, Saturday.”
“Fine, fine.” Sheng Qingtang nodded repeatedly, then asked, “What are you doing tomorrow and the day after?”
“Taking the silly kids.”
“……”
**
By this time, the Feng family head and the few bodyguards had already been brought into the special interrogation room of the One Word Team.
After blowing the cold air all the way, the Feng Family Master’s brain finally worked again.
Dare it be that the One Word Team had known that he was coming to the training camp to arrest someone, so they had been squatting on him?
“The mantis catches the cicada, the yellow bird is behind it.” The Second Captain put down the pile of documents, “Unfortunately, Miss Ying is not a cicada, and you are not worthy of being a praying mantis.”
This honorific caused the Feng family head to blush, “She’s from your One Word Team?!”
“Smart.” The Second Captain shrugged, “But Miss Ying didn’t want to be an officer and hung up her name.”
The Feng family head was even more cold and sweaty.
There were still people who could hang a position in the One Word Team without being an officer?
The person he wanted to arrest was actually a member of the One Word Team!
The Feng family master’s mind buzzed again, constantly circling this one sentence –
Who in the hall dares to sue this officer?
He was so vigilant, but he had actually kicked the bucket!
Being brought here by the One Word Team was proof that someone from the Feng family’s side had already gone to investigate.
“No, you can’t touch the Feng family now, I’ve already signed a bill with Orensi.” The Feng family head’s face was slightly grim, “You have to let me talk to Orenshi’s side before you can do so!”
As long as he was given time to go to the Xiu family’s side, there must still be room for a reversal.
The Feng family head was in a cold sweat, but he was stern, “Now let me make the call, I want to see Orensi’s manager.”
Orensi was a skincare company over in O-continent that belonged to the venus group.
The industries under the venus group were too numerous to count.
Not to mention the gentry in the imperial capital, even some of the big plutocrats in O-continent did not want to have a relationship with the venus group.
Naturally, the Feng family did not fall into the eyes of venus, and it was only because the Feng family had created a new perfume that they were able to collaborate with Orense.
But Orensi is a small company in the whole venus group.
“Come on, there’s no way the phone will be given to you.” The second captain snorted coldly, “We’ve seen too many like you, don’t try to brush off the slickness.”
“I mean it!” The Feng family head was sweating profusely in anxiety, “How can you let me finish that list with Orensi before you do, Orensi is a skin care industry under the veuns group, can’t afford to lose!”
The Mu family is the number one business empire in the empire, that also does not dare to neglect the deal with the company under the veuns group.
“Yo, you’re still threatening on?” The second captain pulled out his ears, looking odd, “Orensi’s manager doesn’t have one, the executive director of veuns group does, just came over, do you want to meet?”
Chapter 266
The entire Feng family head, who was still thinking about how to get out of this place, froze when he heard this, “What did you say?”
The venus group, was currently the only company that could have a one-upmanship with the Laurent family.
However, the venus group’s scope of activity had always been in continent O, and only this year had it gradually shifted to China, coming into contact with quite a few families and groups.
Therefore, in the past, the Feng family head had only heard of the venus group’s big name and did not pay much attention to it.
It was only after his family’s properties had made deals with venus companies that he realised just how powerful the venus group was in O Chau.
In the past few years, although the venus group had frequently appeared with the name of the Laurent family, the two parties were involved in completely different areas.
The Laurent family only loves money and has only opened banks that control the economic lifeline of the world.
Whatever the large transaction, the transfer of money in and out is bound to go through the Laurent Bank.
The venus group is different, it is involved in some of everything, from scientific research and technology, clothing and jewellery, skin care and beauty, etc.
One is the oldest family in the world and the other is the newest group, and there is a lot of cooperation between the two parties.
Many of the subsidiaries were acquired by the venus group and do not directly represent the venus group.
To be able to work with Orensi, a skincare and beauty company, the Feng family head already felt that pie had fallen from the sky.
He didn’t even dare to think about having access to the executives of the venus group.
Or the Executive Director?
Are you kidding me.
Although the venus group had gradually tilted many of its industries towards China this year, its headquarters and major activities were still located on the O Continent.
The CEO of the venus group is a mystery, no one knows if he is a man or a woman, old or young.
There is speculation from other companies on the continent that the venus group probably does not have a chief executive, but is a joint venture between several ancient wealthy families on the continent, in addition to the Laurent family, to rival the Laurent family.
But there was no basis for this claim, after all, there was no absolute conflict of interest between the venus group and the Laurent family.
“You’re teasing me?” The Feng family head froze and then became angry, “If the venus group’s executive director was here, I’d rip my head off and give it to you.”
“Yoo-hoo. The third captain at the side was surprised, “You’re so bold at this point, but you’re not guilty to death, so you don’t have to.”
As the Feng family head was about to say something else, the door to the interrogation room opened.
In came two men.
One of them was known to the Feng family head, the first grandson of the Nie family, Nie Yi.
The two captains immediately clasped their fists, “Chief.”
The Feng Family Master’s expression changed dramatically, “So you left the Nie Family because you entered the One Word Team!”
The matter of Nie Yi being in charge of the One Word Team was only known to Elder Nie and Nie Chao in the Nie Family.
Such matters were kept secret.
Usually when the One Word Team went out, Nie Yi wouldn’t follow them, and he rarely came to this headquarters building.
There were rumours outside that Master Nie had driven Nie Yi out of the house.
Nie Yi has always been quiet and introverted.
He didn’t look at the Feng family head either, sitting down on the sofa at the side and nodding slightly, “Yun Shen, someone is going to rip your head off.”
Hearing these words, the Feng family head snapped to look at the man leaning against the wall.
The man’s stance was tall and upright, with a lazy posture.
With a pair of peach blossom eyes Feng Liu was amorous, no different from those fop gentry in the imperial capital.
Except for the fact that his looks were too distinguished.
The Feng family head could be sure that this man was definitely not from the imperial capital, otherwise he could not have seen it before.
He suddenly had a very unbelievable thought and lost his voice: “You’re the CEO of the venus group?!”
The executive director of the venus group, which has been spanning o continents, was actually a Chinese national?
And so young?
“Hm?” Fu Yun Shen looked sideways and raised his eyebrows slightly, “Not really, because I don’t really run things.”
Only then did the Feng family head breathe a sigh of relief.
He then said, how could that be.
“It’s all in the hands of the people below.” Fu Yun Shen curved his peach blossom eyes, his eyes cold and flushed with a slight hostility, “Orensi cancelled the cooperation, you don’t have to worry about giving me anything to lose, I’m not short of this money either.”
The Feng family had touched his bottom line.
If their family friend did not know ancient medicine nor ancient martial arts, hallucinogens coupled with other drugs would be hard to get away with.
Not to mention Feng Hua, trying to insult a little girl.
The reason why they still gave the Feng family time to put Feng Hua in the hospital was to hang on to his life to prevent him from dying and the score could not even be settled.
The second captain had a good eye and pointed to one of the documents, “This is the young girl your son has bullied over the years, and got three lives.”
“The death penalty is too cheap for him, don’t worry, when he can get out of bed, the One Word Team will treat him well.”
Compared to ordinary people, the Feng family was so big that they could be suppressed by using a little power.
Only the One Word Team would dare to move.
The Second Captain reckoned that they should have to re-recruit.
If they really turned the imperial capital upside down, they could uncover a lot of people.
But there just weren’t enough people.
People were selfish.
So even Nie Yi, to ensure absolute fairness, swore an oath to break away from the Nie family when he joined the team and be loyal only to the One Word Team.
This made it even more difficult for the One Word Team to recruit people than ibi.
“As for you, the crime is not to die.” The second captain continued, “Don’t worry, we’re only responsible for knocking out the grey areas of the Feng family, the remaining innocent Feng family members will definitely not be implicated.”
The Feng family head could no longer hear the words that followed, his body was cold.
Like other families, the Feng family was not just his lineage, and once he stepped down, there were bound to be happy people as well.
“All right, you’ve met the executive chief.” The second captain waved his hand, “Let’s go.”
He and the third captain escorted the Feng family head out.
The only two people left in the interrogation room were Fu Yunshen and Nie Yi.
Nie Yi only had a few words for Fu Yunshen, so he spoke, “Yunshen, have you found those people?”
Fu Yunshen didn’t say anything, looking out the window at the night, his peach blossom eyes slightly misty.
“I haven’t found them yet.” Seeing this look on his face, Nie Yi understood, “I really don’t know who was so cruel.”
Twenty years had pa*sed in a flash, and that incident with the Fu family back then was still a mystery.
Nie Yi paused and added, “But your emotions haven’t gotten out of hand recently, so you’re getting better.”
Hearing these words, Fu Yunshen inclined his head, he smiled, the curve of his lips gentle: “Just because I live in hatred doesn’t mean I have to be controlled by it.”
He lightly uncovered the topic: “I’ll be back in Shanghai at the end of the month, if you still want to help, say so in advance.”
Nie Yi nodded slightly, “I’ll trouble you.”
**
On the 15th, the isc tryouts officially started.
The high school students who participated in the auditions all downloaded a special app from the official website.
In addition to the overall ranking, for each country region, there is a special ranking.
It refreshes once every ten minutes and ranks them according to their scores.
Teng Yun Meng and Feng Yue, who had gone straight to the international competition, did not participate.
The others, like Xiu Yan, and the first in Qingzhi’s Senior 2 Talent Cla*s, were the ones who had to pa*s the selection round to get the final spot.
Zuo Li took a look at the answers in the Chinese region and wrinkled his brows.
Right now, China’s total score was going to be behind foreign regions such as O and M Continents.
However, the competition started at nine o’clock and only a few hours had pa*sed, so nothing could be decided yet.
Zuo Li actually had this expectation.
Nowadays, high school students are under a lot of pressure academically, and as they said during the promotion, they have to focus on the entrance exams first.
Most students are answering questions in bits and pieces, and their scores are naturally growing very slowly.
Zuo Li refreshed the overall ranking again and saw that the top ten had been taken up by a few countries over on the O Continent.
At that moment, there was a knock on his office door.
Zuo Li returned to his senses: “Come in.”
Ying Zidian pushed the door in: “Professor Zuo.”
“Ying, you’re here, I’d like you to look at this question for me.” Zuo Li brought the computer over, “This is from the International Physics Centre, I don’t have a clue about this step, so I can’t get the final simulation to work.”
Ying Ziyi leaned down slightly and looked at the screen.
It was a question involving quantum mechanics.
She had also started learning it after she returned to Earth this time.
A few hundred years ago technology was not as advanced as it is now, but she had a vision about this when she followed Simon Brand to discuss academics.
It had to be said that the human intellect was far beyond all existence.
“Just a moment.” Ying Zidian took the computer and put her fingers on the keyboard and started tapping.
Zuo Li watched with rapt attention.
Ten minutes later, Ying Zidian clicked on the simulation experiment.
The progress bar began to fluctuate and soon reached 100%.
The simulation was successful!
Zuo Li’s eyes widened, “It’s out.”
“Professor Zuo, I’ve marked this step in red for you.” Ying said, “Actually you’ve already thought of it, just a little bit, I also read your previous formula and finished the back.”
She had studied quantum mechanics for too short a time, and if Zuo Li hadn’t done the front, she wouldn’t necessarily have been able to solve it.
Zuo Li spoke slyly, “No, I was short of your long, dense and non-falling hair.”
“……”
“We’ll give each group a task tomorrow.” Zuo Li stroked his hair and said, “You will be making a physical device independently, Ying, I think it’s better for you not to do it and give the others room to play.”
Ying Ziji paused, “OK.”
She nodded her head and left the office.
Zuo Li carefully performed the calculations once more, and only after he had thoroughly understood them did he send the results of the experiment to the International Physics Centre.

Evening.
The scores on the isc leaderboard rose even faster.
The number one overall leader had reached 78 points, which meant that the number one overall leader had finished answering the basic ten questions and had completed 34 additional questions.
That’s a horrible number.
The second place in the overall ranking only scored 64 points.
The first place in the China regional ranking was 52 points.
This is the tenth best score in the overall ranking.
After this ranking was moved to the internet, a lot of comments poured out from outside the internet.
[Isn’t China a big academic country? Every year it wins the IMO gold medal, and every year it is the first in the overall team score, why is it doing so badly this time?
[China’s current number one is from the Imperial University High School, but it doesn’t look good either.
It’s not comparable to Yilan Public School.
I just want to know if China can get a top 3 player in the overall ranking this time. First 52 points, that’s it? Can’t do it?
