Dragon Clan: I am Lu Mingfei, the Intelligence Strategist, the God of Concepts!

Chapter 80 The Zhou Family Treasure Vault, Nuwa Personally Leads the Way to Find the Bargains
above the hall.

"Lord Nuwa, this is the final report on the family's investigation of the three secret research institutes of the Chen family, based on the information provided by Chen Moxuan and Chen Moming."

The lean young man, Zhou Yuxuan, respectfully handed over a stack of printed papers.

The Zhou family members who went to Binhai to investigate had compiled the results over the past two days. They originally planned to make a PowerPoint presentation, but Nuwa scolded them, saying that they shouldn't do such thankless and superficial work, which would not only waste time but also have low reading efficiency.

The attendant responsible for carrying the sedan chair took the stack of reports and respectfully placed them in front of Nuwa.

Contrary to what the elders claimed, Nuwa was not as dissolute and neglectful of state affairs. Apart from things that interested her, she would sometimes do some things when she got tired of playing games.

With a casual flick of her wrist, a glint of gold flashed in her bright eyes, and in less than half a minute, she had read through all the contents of dozens of pages.

Such a reading speed, far exceeding that of ordinary people, is nothing out of the ordinary for Nuwa.

After reading through the entire report in one go, Nuwa raised her delicate eyebrows.

"That's it?"

The report states that the research subjects conducted in those three secret research institutes were only animals with extremely diluted dragon blood, which met the standards of the orthodox organization, the ethical requirements of the scientific community regarding biological experiments, and did not violate the widely recognized Abrahamic Code of Bloodlines.

The accusation of "inhumane treatment" is a complete fabrication and slander.

This means that the Chen family did not violate any orthodox rules at all.

Zhou Yuxuan's expression was grave: "According to the investigation team's results, the 'immortality' project, which the Chen family values ​​highly, is still in the research stage. They are currently using poultry and livestock for research and have not yet made any significant breakthroughs..."

"This immortality project... what exactly is it?" Nuwa asked, pulling out a page of the report.

"Research how to extend the lifespan of low-ranking hybrids."

Zhou Yuxuan answered without hesitation, "The relevant intelligence was provided by another third young master of the Chen family. This person was sent by Cheng, the branch manager of the Chinese branch of Kassel College, a couple of days ago. In his testimony, the immortality project experiment has already begun on Deadpool, and there is also a 'weapon' project to create offensive Deadpool, but no key evidence has been obtained for either."

“Oh, Chen Mowei… Cheng Shuangfan.” Nuwa nodded.

She remembered that there was such a thing, and it was the root cause of this incident. About a week ago, Chu Zihang captured the third young master of the Chen family and obtained important evidence of the Chen family's crimes from him. However, just as the Chinese branch of Kassel College was about to take action against the Chen family, their board of directors urgently stopped them. Subsequently, the rebellious eldest daughter of the Chen family used a little trick in the hope of getting the Zhou family involved.

The Zhou family naturally went with the flow.

But unexpectedly, things took an unexpected turn, with even Odin, the chief god of Norse mythology, jumping out. It's unclear what exactly was behind this charade.

"Hehehe, those people from Kassel College are quite interesting. It's clearly an internal matter, yet they expect our Zhou family to be the scapegoat."

A faint, indifferent smile appeared on Nuwa's face. This kind of smile usually only appears on those in positions of power, and it was completely different from the e-sports girl's previous demeanor.

At this moment, Nuwa had another report at hand.

The above clearly shows that it was the Frost school board member from the Gattuso family who urgently halted Cheng Shuangfan's action plan.

However, within Kassel College, including Cheng Shuangfan, a powerful figure, many people were unwilling to accept this outcome, yet they were unable to violate the constraints of the system.

"Lord Nuwa, the elders would like to hear your opinion on this matter," Zhou Yuxuan said respectfully.

"Give up looking for evidence. The Chen family has been stirring up trouble since the last century, and recently they've even been flirting with the Gattuso family. Anyone with eyes can see there's something fishy going on. If we keep going on like this, it will only make outsiders look down on our Zhou family," Nuwa said calmly.

"Take direct action?" Zhou Yuxuan frowned. "But that would mean losing the support of the other families, I'm afraid..."

"Zhou Yuxuan".

Nuwa suddenly interrupted him in a cold voice, calling out his name directly, with golden petals faintly blooming in her eyes.

An invisible aura of authority emanated from her petite frame.

"Nuwa!"

Zhou Yuxuan broke out in a cold sweat and quickly bowed respectfully.

"Remember this: the Zhou family's reputation has never been earned through borrowed power or influence. Now that the Secret Party is throwing this hot potato at us, isn't that a test?"

Nuwa spoke indifferently: "If we raise the issue high this time and then let it fall gently, see how many more 'Chen families' will emerge next. Times have long changed. Nowadays, technology is advancing by leaps and bounds, and many families are shifting their focus overseas. I don't deny that there are factors of interest involved, but there must still be basic bottom lines."

"Yes," Zhou Yuxuan replied repeatedly, then added worriedly, "If it's just our family... I'm afraid you'll have to take action too, otherwise the casualties among the clan's disciples will likely be significant, but then the situation in Xiangyang City..."

Zhou Yuxuan swallowed hard and stopped talking.

What he really wanted to say was that if the Chen family's keeping of undead servants truly became a problem, they would most likely be concentrated in their main camp. Nuwa was still young, and due to her physical condition, she was not very mobile. Anything could happen during a siege, and if she were ambushed and surrounded, something terrible could happen to her...

"Don't forget that a young man recently joined the family."

A smile suddenly appeared on Nuwa's lips.

"You mean Lu Mingfei?"

Zhou Yuxuan suddenly realized: "You mean to have Lu Mingfei take the Dragon-Slaying Platform to the Chen family... But he's an outsider after all. Wouldn't it be inappropriate to trouble an outsider with such a matter?" "An outsider?"

Nuwa's smile suddenly became bright and strange.

"Haven't some people always wanted to turn Lu Mingfei into a member of the Zhou family?"

"This……"

Zhou Yuxuan's expression immediately turned extremely awkward.

As expected, Nuwa herself discovered the secret plot of the elders.

But why does she look like this...?

"Don't mistreat them."

Nuwa suddenly spoke, her expression turning icy cold, as if the delicate smile on her face earlier was just an illusion.

"Has the treasure vault been opened?"

"It'll be open soon, around 2 PM," Zhou Yuxuan replied.

"Open everything up. Don't do anything petty. Do what you've promised first, then we can talk about other things. This afternoon I'll personally take him over to pick out some good stuff."

Zhou Yuxuan immediately replied, "Yes, I will remind them."

……

In the hospital ward,
"Junior brother, don't worry, I didn't mean what you think... You, you let go first."

Looking at Lu Mingfei, who was desperately clinging to his legs and wailing for his life, Chu Zihang finally showed a look of helplessness.

This junior brother is great in every way, except sometimes he's too careless about details; the floor is so dirty...

"Ah, really?"

Lu Mingfei chuckled awkwardly, got up from the ground, and casually patted the dust off his backside.

He was genuinely worried that Chu Zihang would suddenly fall into revenge mode again. What was the point of all that effort then?

However, it now seems that he was overthinking it.

Chu Zihang was not as fragile as he imagined. The so-called "depression" and "recklessness" were just dramas that Lu Mingfei added himself. Only by living well can the living not let down the dead. Chu Zihang never forgot this. This excellent boy would even send an email to his mother every night to report and remind her to drink warm milk.

"However, I should go back to the academy. There are still many things to take care of there, and besides, school has already started, so I have to attend classes," Chu Zihang said earnestly.

"Ok."

Having to attend classes...that's a fucking flawless excuse.

Lu Mingfei suddenly felt a little depressed. He remembered that his senior brother did indeed have the title of president of the Lionheart Society. Such a high-ranking official must have a lot of things to do. But this meant that all the familiar people around him had left. Just like Xu Zhimo said in "Saying Goodbye to Cambridge Again", "I wave my sleeves and leave without taking away a single cloud!" In the end, he was left all alone again... Oh, and there's also Old Tang. Sorry.

"Brother Lu, Nuwa is looking for you!"

Suddenly a head popped in from outside the door.

Zhou Minhao.

"Okay, I'll be right there!" Lu Mingfei replied quickly.

"Lord Wa?"

Chu Zihang was stunned.

Seeing his appearance, Lu Mingfei immediately remembered that his senior brother had been unconscious until now and had not yet seen Nuwa.

It would be a shame not to see you since you've come all this way!

A human head and a snake's body! A loli! This is a rare thing that only exists in the world of anime!
After all, my senior brother has a high status, so it's not a problem to pay him a visit!

"Senior brother, why don't we go see him together?"

Lu Mingfei looked at Zhou Minhao, who was peeking in, and asked, "Is it okay?"

“No problem! Nuwa said that Brother Chu can come along if it’s convenient for him.”

Zhou Minhao readily agreed.
