Chapter 36 The Fu Family's Rat is Plotting Mischief
Chapter 36 The Fu Family's Rat is Plotting Mischief
Modern times, the Fu family...
Wen Wan had just managed to calm Fu Tong down after a great deal of effort.
Her original intention was to teach Fu Tong how to show a well-behaved and sensible side in front of the old man, but things didn't go as planned;
Fu Tong became increasingly resistant to her words, and even cried out that she wanted to go find her grandmother.
Sigh, Fu Tong's personality is exactly like her grandmother's now, both are so difficult to deal with!
After a long period of patient coaxing, Wen Wan finally managed to coax the sobbing Fu Tong back to her room to play games.
Only then did Wen Wan feel relieved. Dragging her tired body, she slowly walked to the balcony, lay comfortably on the rocking chair, and enjoyed a moment of peace.
Just then, a sudden cell phone ring broke the silence.
She quickly grabbed her phone and looked closely; it was a call from the friend who was in charge of investigating the Phoenix Bronze Mirror.
It seems there must be good news coming.
Wen Wan quickly picked up her earphones from beside her, put them on, and carefully checked whether the Bluetooth connection was successful. Only after confirming that everything was correct did she press the answer button with peace of mind.
"Hey, how's it going?"
Meanwhile, while talking on the phone, she carefully walked to the door, cautiously peeked out, looked around to make sure no one was around, and then immediately locked the door from the inside.
"Wanwan~ I finally found out about this after a lot of trouble, so you'd better think about how to repay me." A very lewd voice came from the other end of the earpiece.
tsk...
Wen Wan's face showed extreme impatience, but for the sake of the Phoenix Bronze Mirror, she forced herself to speak softly:
"Brother Wu, what are you saying? I'll treat you to dinner in a couple of days!"
After she finished speaking, the corner of her mouth twitched slightly involuntarily.
“A couple of days is a couple of days! Wanwan~ You haven’t contacted me since you married Fu Ci. I thought Wanwan had forgotten about me…” Wood said somewhat displeased.
Wen Wan rolled her eyes. This was the same old story when she tried to get information from Wood before; it's been like this for years. She composed herself.
"I'll arrange to meet you in a couple of days. I need information about the Phoenix Bronze Mirror. What's the result? What have you found out?"
"Heh, I found out... Wanwan, you can rest assured about my work~" Wood said smugly.
Wood paused, his previous lewd demeanor replaced by a deep and serious voice:
"Hiss, this Phoenix Bronze Mirror has a lot of connections. I almost got caught when I found out about it yesterday, but luckily my firewall is strong enough that they couldn't find me!"
Wen Wan frowned in confusion and asked, puzzled, "What news?"
Wood took a deep breath and said calmly, "Fu Mingyue might not be dead!"
"What?!" Wen Wan stared wide-eyed in shock, her face filled with disbelief.
She quickly pressed on, "Wait, what does Fu Mingyue's survival have to do with the Phoenix Bronze Mirror?"
Wood explained clearly: "Yesterday, I went to an online auction house and found the record of Fu Mingyue bidding for the Phoenix Bronze Mirror back then, so I just looked it up."
Unexpectedly, Company S, where Fu Mingyue joined, had a confidential file. I was bored, so I took a look, and it turns out Fu Mingyue's personal information wasn't highlighted in bold!
Wood recounted everything he knew in detail, his tone revealing a hint of excitement and curiosity.
According to S Company's practice, the personal information of all deceased researchers is highlighted in bold, but what is puzzling is that Fu Mingyue has been dead for five years, yet there is still no change.
Upon hearing this news, Wen Wan immediately denied it, saying, "That's absolutely impossible! I saw her go into the incinerator with my own eyes; she's definitely dead! Could it be a bug in the system?"
How could he not be dead?!
"Don't believe me? Just wait and see! I'll show you right now!" With that, Wood's fingers flew across the keyboard as he reopened yesterday's website.
However, this time, Fu Mingyue's personal information has been highlighted in black...
"What on earth is going on? This can't be! I was absolutely certain I wasn't mistaken yesterday!" Wood said, unwilling to accept it.
At the same time, the three computer screens in front of him kept displaying attack warnings. Suddenly, the screens went completely black, and a string of white text mechanically appeared:
【Gotcha!!!】

On the other side, Niannian skipped along with Grandpa Fu as they selected weapons.
Xiao Jian, the owner of the sword wholesale store, greeted Old Master Fu with a broad smile and enthusiastically introduced his business's goods:
"Boss Fu, look at our warehouse! We have everything you could need! We supply film crews with our products!"
Standing to the side, Old Master Fu listened to Xiao Jian's words, first glancing at Butler Liu beside him without making a sound, and then slowly shifting his gaze to the set of armor placed in front of him.
The armor gleamed with a cold, silvery light under the lamplight, its overall design featuring smooth, natural lines that seemed to contain boundless power.
Upon closer inspection, it is meticulously divided into four parts: head, torso, arms, and legs, with each part seamlessly connected.
The fabric covering it was made of a deep, dark black. This understated color did not make the armor appear dull or oppressive; instead, it inadvertently exuded a mysterious and majestic aura.
Grandpa Fu narrowed his eyes slightly, examined it for a moment, and then asked, "What material is this made of? It doesn't look like something that could be made from ordinary sheet metal."
His words carried a hint of curiosity and inquiry.
Seeing that Old Master Fu was interested in this, Xiao Jian quickly replied with a smile:
"Oh my, Mr. Fu really has a discerning eye! This suit of armor is meticulously crafted from top-quality materials, made from a combination of alloys such as chromium and nickel, along with premium leather."
In this way, it not only possesses excellent corrosion resistance, but its protective capabilities are also dozens of times better than ordinary armor!
After saying that, he subconsciously rubbed his hands together, a hint of hesitation flashing across his face, before continuing:
"However... the price might be a little bit higher..."
Just then, a childish voice suddenly rang out: "Uncle, is this very expensive?"
It turned out to be Niannian, who had been following behind the adults. At this moment, she tilted her little head up, blinked her big, watery eyes, and looked at Xiao Jian curiously.
Xiao Jian: "It's a bit expensive!"
Niannian held up both hands and gestured, "We want a lot, can you give us a discount?" As she spoke, she started bargaining, imitating how she did on TV...
Looking at her adorable face, Old Master Fu suppressed a laugh and cooperated, saying, "Yes, yes, Mr. Xiao, make it cheaper..."

Let's go back to ancient times...
Inside the disaster relief camp—
Gou Sheng clutched the packet of sleeping pills tightly, his gaze fixed on the tents inside the county government office. Aruhan had already deceived him once.
Will he really release his sister this time, as he requested?
Now that their mother is gone, her greatest concern was for her younger sister… Gou Sheng looked down at the sleeping pills in his hand, Pei Yun Jing's image flashing through his mind. "From now on, I can't live without you~"
