Chapter 213 Borrowing a Knife

Mi Wanlan didn't know that at the same time she boarded the flight back home, female elites from various fields in the country also received this invitation letter.

However, the content that each person sees is different.

Attorney Jin Jianmin, who has repeatedly defended women's rights before the Supreme Court but has been marginalized due to her radical stance, saw hope in the invitation letter:

The foundation can help you get a seat on the Supreme Court.

Zhu Yun, a leading liberal female politician with a PhD in sociology, faced public criticism for her early scandals and feminist advocacy, struggling in the political arena. She saw a turning point in the invitation:

Foundations can help you get money, connections, and even leadership positions.

Song Yiqiao, a biologist specializing in bisexuality and artificial uteri, saw her research results seized by a research institute and her technology misappropriated by investors for profit in surrogacy. Nearly despairing, she saw a ray of hope in the invitation letter:

The foundation will fund your research.

…

Each invitation is tailor-made and irresistible.

Even if some people were skeptical about the foundation, they couldn't suppress their curiosity, and most people chose to click on the mysterious website.

After entering the website, a membership application window will pop up immediately.

The first question is, do you support protecting the rights of women?

The second question is, do you think social problems should be solved by the government?

The third question is, do you think that the disadvantaged position of women in the political field needs to be addressed urgently?

The fourth question is, when you were a child, did your family have to budget carefully to make ends meet?

…

After answering the questions, a slogan popped up on the screen:

Thank you for your participation. The Sky Dome Humanities and Technology Foundation welcomes you to join.

Please take a screenshot and save your unique material code. A material machine will be delivered to your registered address the next day.

In addition, please join the Foundation’s first online meeting on time this Sunday evening. We look forward to meeting you.

Everyone who had finished answering the questions carefully looked at the words and their eyes widened in surprise. A physical machine? A physical machine worth tens of millions was actually given away for free!

Now they believe that this is definitely not a scam.

But if the content of the invitation letter is true, then does this foundation want to become a second "brotherhood"?

No, should I say...sisterhood?

Involve all the forces of the empire in it, and push the members of the foundation to every key position, so that they can be truly omnipresent and omnipotent.

If this is true, one day, the world will operate according to the will of the Foundation.

The sky will become the master of this world.

The trembling of fear instantly enveloped everyone, but deep in the calm pupils, a light of excitement as hot as wildfire jumped out.

No matter what, they have to go online to see which powerful figure is behind this foundation.

If you can't resist, then choose to join!

On the other hand, Qiao Yanzhi, who was forced to be confined to Fuyun Palace, knew nothing about this.

It was evening now, the sun was low in the sky, and a bruised red light fell on the terrace of the villa.

Qiao Yanzhi sat on the recliner with a dejected look, drinking in silence.

There were several empty wine bottles scattered on the floor at his feet, and the wine glass on the table in front of him was empty.

When he thought about losing his CEO position and how his so-called brothers and sisters were laughing at him behind his back, a sharp pain surged in his chest.

He felt depressed, angry, painful, and even full of resentment!

And all this was thanks to Shi Nian'an. If she hadn't deceived him, how could he have made such a stupid decision?

When Qiao Yanzhi thought of this, his eyes turned red with anger. He picked up the wine glass and threw it to the ground.

With a loud bang, fragments flew everywhere.

Just at this moment, there was a burst of quick footsteps behind him. Turning around, he saw it was Seventeen. The anger on Qiao Yanzhi's face faded away instantly, and his heart tightened.

His sister is his father's seventeenth child.

My father has always believed that only those with high intelligence and wealth are worthy of passing on their genes. To save the country's precarious fertility rate, he decided to lead by example and choose to use technology to maximize fertility efficiency.

At that time, the laboratory prepared ten high-quality gene-edited embryos for experiments. These babies born through surrogacy were separated from their biological mothers from the moment they were born.

Because the technology is not yet mature, the laboratory chose to place these gene-edited babies in a nursery for observation and care, but these researchers only take care of the children's food and clothing, and do not provide emotional satisfaction.

Often, even if these children continue to cry, they are unable to be comforted by adults in time. Gradually, these children become quieter and quieter, and sometimes even stop crying.

Just when the researchers thought the children were smart enough to read the experiment's expressions and were ready to celebrate the success of the experiment, the children suddenly died one after another.

And the only child who survived was Seventeen.

The father was very happy when he heard this. He felt that since Seventeen could survive such a harsh test, he would definitely become an outstanding talent in the future.

But when he saw Seventeen, he was extremely disappointed because she looked completely demented and would not respond to the outside world at all, not even crying or laughing, and had almost no human emotions.

Later, doctors diagnosed her as a psychopath with antisocial personality disorder and a severe lack of empathy.

Her father was furious and abandoned the infant Seventeen to the countryside. Five years ago, when she was imprisoned for murder, her father, mindful of their blood relationship, sent someone to arrange for her to be brought back to Floating Cloud Palace.

This is also why Qiao Yanzhi can threaten Shiqi to do things for him.

Because without the protection of the Qiao family, people like her would definitely die quickly.

In Qiao Yanzhi's opinion, Seventeen is a complete failure and a despicable monster.

He didn't want to admit that he had such a sister, but because she was particularly talented in killing, he acquiesced to her existence.

Although Qiao Yanzhi felt that Seventeen would not dare to do anything to him, the monster's psychology could not be predicted by common sense. Therefore, when he faced the monster alone, he still couldn't help but feel wary.

He calmly picked up the empty bottle on the ground and looked at Seventeen, who was still wearing a mask. "What's the matter?"

Seventeen glanced at the wine bottle in his hand, a trace of contempt flashed in his eyes, and his voice was cold, "I have brought back the person you wanted."

Qiao Yanzhi was a little surprised, "So fast?"

He had sent several groups of people to kidnap Shi Nian'an before, but none of them succeeded. Unexpectedly, this monster was the most useful. No wonder his father wanted to keep her by his side and even forced the old man who raised Shi Shi to death.

If Seventeen knew the truth, would she bite back at her father?

It seems that his monster sister will be very useful, both now and in the future.

Thinking of this, a cruel arc appeared on Qiao Yanzhi's lips.

But right now, he wanted more to take revenge on Shi Nian'an who had tortured him and caused him so much pain.

Qiao Yanzhi asked anxiously, "Where is that woman?"

"In your room, I tied her hands and feet." Seventeen answered straightforwardly, without any guilt or uneasiness on his face.

Qiao Yanzhi stared at her ruthless eyes with contempt in his heart. She was indeed a monster. She was so skilled at kidnapping that she even helped him tie the person up. It was really... disgusting.

But the more disgusting he felt, the more excited he became.

The thought of Shi Nian'an, who had shone so brightly on the screen, now imprisoned in his room, powerless to resist, filled him with a surge of emotion. The alcohol mixed with the tyrannical desire that burned his face red, and even his breathing became rapid.

"Haha... well done. No wonder father always praises you as a useful dog... Hahahaha!"

However, Seventeen was not angered by him, and his eyes remained cold and indifferent.

Qiao Yanzhi sneered, grabbed the bottle of wine, staggered past her and walked towards his room.

He was so drunk that he didn't notice the cold gaze staring at his back.

Seventeen raised his black-gloved hand and took off his mask, revealing a pale, expressionless face.

Suddenly, a strange arc appeared at the corner of his mouth, like a machine poorly imitating a human, stiff and playful.

————

Qiao Yanzhi came to the closed door and entered the password with trembling fingers. He got it wrong twice, and it was not until the third time that the door unlocked.

He stumbled into the door, and there was a click behind him, and the door locked automatically.

The room was very dark, and I could only vaguely see a blurry figure curled up in front of the bed.

Qiao Yanzhi was about to turn on the light when he suddenly heard a dull thud, as if something had fallen on the carpet.

The next moment, the lights came on brightly.

He saw Shi Nian'an kneeling on a Persian-patterned carpet, his hands and feet bound tightly with white ties, blood seeping from his wrists. Not far away, a pair of scissors, gleaming silver, lay on the ground.

She must have wanted to use the scissors to escape, but was caught off guard by his sudden entry.

"Look, isn't this the celebrity from our Sky Technology?" Qiao Yanzhi laughed triumphantly, walked slowly closer, picked up the scissors in his hand, then lowered his eyes to look at Shi Nian'an, wanting to appreciate the fear on her face.

But he was disappointed. Her eyes remained calm, steady, even filled with anger as she stared at him coldly.

Qiao Yanzhi was furious. He grabbed Shi Nian'an's chin with his drunken hand and forced her to look him in the face. "When you set up this scheme to harm me, didn't you ever think this would happen?"

Shi Nian'an glared at him and said coldly, "Ha! I'll castrate your ancestors for eighteen generations! You're a loser who can't afford to lose!"

As he said this, he spat in his face.

Qiao Yanzhi's face suddenly darkened. He had never thought that he would hear such vulgar words from a woman.

"Very good, you have completely pissed me off!" He sneered, then took off his coat, shirt, and belt.

At this moment, Qiao Yanzhi only wanted to use the most disgusting way to completely crush this woman's pride. He wanted to tear her into pieces.

Under the bright light, Qiao Yanzhi's face, soaked in alcohol, was flushed with a sickening red, his facial features were distorted and hideous, and the madness in his eyes made him look like a monster.

But just as he approached, Shi Nian'an suddenly lowered his head and bit the end of the cable tie. The veins on the back of his hand bulged, and with a snap, the blood-stained nylon strap broke.

Qiao Yanzhi pounced over and held her wrist, but the next second, a cold, hard object pressed against his chest.

His whole body stiffened, and he slowly lowered his head and found it was... a gun?

This time, Shi Nian'an did not hesitate or tremble.

Her index finger pulled the trigger quickly and silently. The red light instantly penetrated Qiao Yanzhi's chest, and blood spilled all over the ground.

"Ugh..." Qiao Yanzhi groaned, his eyes widened, but his body fell backwards uncontrollably.

He was shocked and confused. He couldn't understand why Shi Nian'an had a gun in her hand. Where did she get it from?

It was not until the moment before he died that Qiao Yanzhi realized that it might be Seventeen who betrayed him.

But why?!

Unfortunately, he will never know the answer to this question.

Shi Nian'an slowly stood up and looked down at Qiao Yanzhi's almost naked and ugly body. There was only a finger-sized penetrating wound on his chest with burn marks on the edge and very little bleeding.

This gave her a particularly unreal feeling, and she could not connect the pulling of the trigger with the result of killing someone.

But there is no doubt that Qiao Yanzhi died, died at the hands of her gun.

After a brief moment of daze, Shi Nian'an felt a bloodthirsty pleasure in her heart. She had finally avenged herself and her dead father.

She subconsciously took a deep breath, but instead of smelling the expected smell of blood, she smelled a cool, crisp scent of pine wood.

Mother--!

Shi Nian'an trembled all over, as if waking up from a nightmare, and his pupils suddenly contracted.

But why is Mom here? She should be asleep by now.

Shi Nian'an was completely awake. She had no time to think. She quickly put the laser gun into her pocket, grabbed the scissors, and cut the cable ties that bound her feet.

When the woman tied her up, she deliberately left a pair of scissors where she could reach it if she tried hard, and then put the laser gun back into her pocket.

She remembered being very surprised. "Why?"

The woman only left a cold remark, "What I hate most is that kind of idiot who wants to control me."

Shi Nian'an didn't understand what she meant at the time, but only now realized that she wanted to use her to get rid of Qiao Yanzhi.

Kill with a borrowed knife.

She felt a little creepy. This woman had such horrible methods.

But this is not the time to think about this, we need to find a way to get out of this situation quickly.

Shi Nian'an took back his cell phone and called Chi Lan.

While waiting for the call to be connected, she kept her ears open to listen to the noise outside the door. Fortunately, it was very quiet outside.

The call was quickly connected. "Nian'an? Where are you?"

Shi Nian'an held the phone tightly in both hands. The familiar voice made her heart ache and she almost cried.

"Mom...I'm in Floating Cloud Palace. I, I killed someone!"

The person on the other end didn't seem surprised, and his voice was unusually calm. "Don't worry, I've already notified the police. Just stay still and don't say anything until I get here."

Shi Nian'an calmed down and nodded heavily, "Okay, I will remain silent."

But just as she hung up the phone, the locked door was suddenly pushed open from the outside.

Shi Nian'an turned his head suddenly and saw the person coming. His eyes widened in horror.
