Chapter 103 Boss Ying isn't just a top student, he's an academic expert [3rd update]
There was a long pause before someone hesitantly spoke: "Brother, something's happened."
"Hmm." Fu Yunshen said calmly, "I'll let you speak."
Four very calm words, yet they greatly increased the pressure on the other side.
"Brother..." The person on the other end of the old-fashioned mobile phone was silent for a long time. "We've obtained all the medicinal herbs offered as a bounty on NOK, and the brothers were just about to send them to you, but—"
He paused, then said with difficulty, "Our medicinal herbs were stolen at customs."
Upon hearing this, Fu Yunshen's eyelashes fluttered, and his voice remained calm: "I understand."
The person on the other end was taken aback: "Brother, you're not surprised?"
“Not surprising.” Fu Yunshen inserted the car key and turned the steering wheel with one hand. “You seem to have forgotten whose account you posted the bounty on.”
There was a sudden silence on the other end: "..."
Admittedly, registering a NOK account is very easy; all you need is a login program.
Hidden sections are full of experts, who often post random things.
However, to get these big shots to accept the bounty, you still need to see their account ID.
The big shots wouldn't even glance at a regular ID.
Even though the NOK forum encrypts each user's identity multiple times, the ID won't change.
In particular, Fu Yunshen's account ID is still listed on the bounty list.
The bounty of one billion US dollars has many hunters drooling over it.
However, the bounty list also proves the strength of those who are wanted; the higher the ranking, the stronger they are.
Many hunters are also on the bounty list.
The most mysterious person at the top of the bounty list has only one solitary code name—the Divine Calculator.
The account ID of the person for whom the bounty is placed is highlighted in red on the NOK forum, making it easy to spot at a glance.
The theft of the medicinal herbs proves that hunters have struck again.
"Bro, you should have said so earlier." A voice finally came through on the other end, sounding annoyed. "We should have switched to a different account."
“No need.” Fu Yunshen chuckled. “If I use a different account, there’s no guarantee someone will take the bounty.”
Only the top twenty hunters on each leaderboard venture into the deep sea and desert.
When they accept bounties, in addition to money, they also consider whether it can bring them any benefit.
Even if the bounty posted by a regular ID is very high, it simply cannot attract them.
“That’s true.” There was another silence on the other end. “Brother, don’t worry, the brothers have tracked down the other party and will ensure that the medicine is delivered to China safely.”
In fact, even they didn't know where Fu Yunshen was.
Every time I send something, I deliver it to the customs office in China that is closest to O continent.
"No need, just keep an eye on things." Fu Yunshen tapped the steering wheel with his fingers. "I'll go myself."

In the study.
Fu Mingcheng remained seated, his brows furrowed.
After knocking on the door, Madam Fu pushed it open and came in: "Mingcheng, here's some freshly cut fruit, have some."
Fu Mingcheng looked up, his attention not on the fruit plate: "He's gone?"
"He's gone." Madam Fu paused, her maternal kindness towards Fu Yunshen gone from her usual demeanor in front of others, her expression cold. "He left after the old man went to sleep."
"The old man is so muddle-headed!" Fu Mingcheng slammed down a stack of papers in his hand. "Yichen and the others may not understand, but how could the old man not understand? He actually wants to give away Yuxiangfang?"
Yu Xiang Fang is the largest business of the Fu Group and one of the top ten perfume brands in China.
Although it can't compare with international luxury brands, it has already made it into the top 50 companies in the country.
If Yuxiangfang were to be given away like this, the Fu Group would essentially lose half of its empire.
A spoiled young master who can't do anything right, what makes him qualified to take over the Imperial Fragrance Workshop?
Old Master Fu did this without considering the thoughts of his other descendants.
"Alright, alright, Mingcheng, don't be angry." Madam Fu massaged his shoulders and softened her voice. "Didn't he ultimately refuse? The old man is still alive, and in the end, he would have to consider the whole company. He wouldn't be so reckless."
“No.” Fu Mingcheng’s words were full of sarcasm. “Whenever it comes to his business, the old man can’t see anything. He’s like he’s blind.”
Madam Fu sighed: "The old man is also doing this because he feels guilty."
"Twenty years of making up is enough." Fu Mingcheng sneered. "I really don't know what the old man is thinking all day long."
“Mingcheng, speaking of this, I’ve noticed that the old man hasn’t been doing well lately.” Madam Fu frowned. “Three years ago, the doctor already issued a critical condition notice, but now the old man’s health has actually improved.”
Fu Mingcheng didn't think much of it, but his anger intensified: "Who do you think the old man is holding on for? Isn't it all for Fu Yunshen?"
He paused for a moment, then softened his tone: "However, the old man's health has been depleted for too long, and he can't hold on for much longer. We need to make him focus his attention on Yihan while he's still alive."
Madam Fu nodded and left the study.
**
The next day, at noon.
Ying Zijing lowered her gaze slightly after seeing the WeChat message Fu Yunshen sent her.
Ever since she became familiar with the silly kids in Class 19, he has been asking her out for lunch less and less.
It seems that he is at ease as long as she has someone with her.
While applying eyeshadow, Xiu Yu asked, "Father Ying, are we going to the cafeteria again today?"
"No, thank you." Ying Zijing stood up, holding her phone. "I already made plans, I'm going out to eat."
Xiu Yu nodded and didn't ask any further questions.
Ying Zijin walked out of the classroom.
Three minutes later, she left the school gate.
This time, Fu Yunshen didn't drive; he waited for her by leaning against a tree.
Sunlight filtered through the leaves, falling on his deep, captivating brows and eyes, casting a soft golden glow that accentuated his handsome features.
Like a deity left behind on earth.
Upon hearing footsteps, Fu Yunshen straightened up.
He turned around, looked at the girl and smiled: "Yaoyao, I saw on your school's bulletin board that a celebrity is coming to give a speech."
"At the end of the month." Ying Zijin nodded. "I heard it's an award-winning actor."
She doesn't pay attention to the entertainment industry; it was all Xiu Yu who instilled that idea in her.
For example, most young celebrities nowadays rely on popularity, but Shang Yaozhi is unique in that he has both good looks and talent, making him a breath of fresh air among celebrities.
"Hmm?" Fu Yunshen raised an eyebrow. "Little kid, you watch dramas but don't follow any celebrities?"
"Too tiring." Ying Zijing pondered for a moment. "Besides, I probably prefer pretty female celebrities."
Fu Yunshen turned his head and suddenly chuckled, "Female celebrity?"
"No one dislikes a pretty girl."
"..."
It seems to make sense, but the gender doesn't seem right.
"Alright, let's get down to business." Fu Yunshen paused, then smiled. "Something's come up. My brother needs to go abroad for about four or five days."
Ying Zijin raised his eyes.
He bent down slightly, his gaze level with hers: "So, little one, you must take good care of yourself these next few days. Don't just eat tomatoes every noon while I'm not here."
Ying Zijin did not respond, but frowned slightly.
Her abilities hadn't recovered, which not only limited the time she could observe, but also affected the range of distances she could cover.
All she could see were the events happening in Shanghai.
If it's any farther, she'll have to go to that place to see it.
Not to mention, Fu Yunshen went abroad this time.
Last time, someone tried to kill him at her doorstep.
She was really curious to know how many people were waiting for him once he went out.
“It’s nothing serious.” Fu Yunshen seemed to read her mind. “I’ll be back soon. But, little one, there’s something else.”
"Study hard." He ruffled her hair. "If you pass one of your midterms, I'll take you to see your favorite female celebrity live."
"..."
**
After parting ways with Fu Yunshen and returning to the classroom, Ying Zijing was still pondering whether or not she should study hard.
However, passing one exam proves that she only needs to take one exam.
It's alright, I won't get tired.
Pass one subject, watch a live performance.
Then let her learn it.
After making the decision, Ying Zijing propped her head up with one hand and opened her phone with the other.
After finding the web series she had watched that day, she clicked on the female lead's Weibo account.
"This is so boring." Xiu Yu sighed from the side. "Why did I come to listen to this open class? I'm usually out racing cars."
This afternoon, there was an open class, which was attended by the entire second-year high school students.
Normally, Class 19 wouldn't attend, but even Jiang Ran showed up.
What's worse, this open course was given by a university professor who was very strict and didn't allow anyone to make any small movements in class.
Xiu Yu couldn't understand and wanted to sleep, so he could only keep his eyelids open and stare at the blackboard.
The students in the gifted class didn't listen much either, since the open class was just for show. Not to mention the students in the other regular classes, many of them were playing around with their heads down.
"Hey you over there!" A piece of chalk suddenly fell down. "Come up here and do this problem for me!"
Xiu Yu was startled to realize that the old professor was calling for their father, Ying.
The students in the lecture hall all looked over.
Lu Fang laughed immediately, but it was sarcastic: "Teacher, don't make her do any problems. She probably doesn't even know the principles of chemical reactions."
This remark was met with a burst of laughter.
"Hahaha, he dragged down the elite class all by himself. I bet his grades will be even worse when he gets to Class 19, right?"
"Teacher, let's not waste time, let's continue the lesson."
Zhong Zhiwan did not make any comments; she pursed her lips, but her face showed an undisguised smile.
The old teacher got even angrier: "You're not doing well in your studies and you still won't listen. Go stand in the back row as punishment."
Fu Yunshen: It's really too difficult to get children to study hard.
Then, I'll use my dwindling hair to beg for monthly votes~
