Raptor was crying loudly in the restaurant.
Fu Zhi squatted down to check him out, but Raptor thought Fu Zhi was going to stab him, so he screamed and shouted anxiously, âNo! No! Iâm going to die! Iâm going to die!â
âStop yelling,â Fu Zhi hissed, âIf you donât stop yelling now, the blood of the wound on your waist is going to dry up.â
âIf you donât mind me asking, whatâs that supposed to mean?â Raptor asked.
Ye Jiu scoffed and added, âShe asks you to stand up and walk for 2 steps if youâre not injured.â
Fu Zhi then led Raptor out of the restaurant.
Lu Yumo wiped his mouth with a paper towel and asked Song Fang, âIs the poem I recited not good enough? Why doesnât she respond to it?â
Song Fang sighed, âWell, sheâs a writer. Maybe sheâs worried that we might overtake her as the new literary giant.â
âYou do have a point,â Lu Yumo nodded, âAnyway, make sure you donât get Zhizhiâs invitation card dirty. The jade buckle looks expensive, and Zhizhi will surely sell it.â
â
In an alley outside of the restaurant. Raptor told Fu Zhi the purpose of coming to Yu City. âDaddy, Iâm really not here to give you a hard time. The Ouyang Family hired me to find out the location of the shop owner, so Iâm just a wage earner who works for money.â
âOuyang Ya hired someone to investigate me?â
Fu Zhi frowned. She did not expect that the Ouyang Family would do this to such an extent just to take advantage of her.
She stood in front of a window and fell into deep thought. Then, she said, âYou will go back to the Hacker Alliance tonight. I will get someone to forfeit the mission. As for your compensation, I willâ¦â
âItâs okay, daddy. Itâs just a small loss,â Raptor said as he waved his hand. âI can still afford to lose this money, so you donât have to use your pension fund to compensate me!â
Then, he pulled out his computer and said, âErm, daddy, your virus is a tad strong, and I can remove it. Since Iâm your son, can you do me a favor and help me to remove it?â
Fu Zhi was speechless.
âHeâs so chatty.â
That said, she still nodded and agreed to help. She took his computer over and typed a few codes into it. Then, the computer gradually calmed down.
When she thought about the money that Raptor was going to pay, her attitude towards him changed. âIâve invented a few new viruses, and I heard that you guys are going to take part in the international competition this year right? I will send you the concept of these viruses later.â
â!!!â Raptor was stunned.
It took him quite some time before he regained himself and found his voice back, âThank you, daddy! Youâre the best, daddy! I love you, daddy!â
âSince both of us are from the Hacker Alliance, itâs normal for us to help each other,â Fu Zhi said, âJust donât forget to give me money if you really love me.â
âAlright, then,â Raptor let out a sigh of relief. Then, he asked, âBy the way, daddy, will you be coming to the gathering of the Hacker Alliance this month?â
âI have to go to Myanmar at the end of the month, so I donât think I will make it. Besides, donât tell anybody about me,â Fu Zhi answered.
Raptor responded by doing a zip gesture across his mouth to tell Fu Zhi that he would keep his mouth as tight as a jar.
Fu Zhi and her group then returned to the school.
Inside the alley, Raptorâs phone rang. He answered the call and Dâs excited voice erupted, âHey, brother, I can see from my side that your computer has been fixed. Iâm so f*cking awesome! I just simply press a few buttons and your computer is fixed! I donât even know which buttons I have pressed!â
âYou donât know?â Raptor replied emotionlessly, âI think I know which button you have pressed. The pretentious button!â
D was stumped.
âWhat did he just say?â
âWhat do you mean by that, huh?â D asked, âAre you asking for a fight?â
If it were normal time, Raptor might concede defeat, but today was different.
Siren was his daddy, so there was nothing to be afraid of.
âAlright, stop yapping like a duck. I will be going back to the alliance tonight. By the way, I injured my waist, so help me to make an appointment with a doctor. I will go to get some medicine from the hospital first.â
âSure, but you havenât told me what the hell is going on with your computer yet.â
âWell, Iâm not sure if you would believe it or not, Iâve offended Siren, and sheâs the one whoâ¦â
âBeepâBeepâBeepââ
D hung up the call before Raptor could even finish his sentence. Then, he sent a voice message to Raptor, âIâm sorry, but I guess we have to say goodbye to each other now. Donât look for me, donât call me, and donât text me. From today onward, weâre strangers.â
Raptor was stunned.

A little bird told Ouyang Ya that Raptor had been admitted into a hospital.
Right now, Mu Chenxi was standing in front of her with a teary face. When Raptor called her, a serious expression dawned upon her delicate face after she picked up the call.
âYouâre at the hospital now? What is going on?
âOkay, I get it. I will go there right away,â Ouyang Ya hurriedly asked a few questions and hung up the phone with a gloomy expression.
Seeing her expression, Mu Chenxi hastily went up to her and asked, âWhatâs the matter? Do you need me to go with you?â
âWhatâs the matter? Hah, Raptor is at the emergency department right now,â Ouyang Ya squinted her eyes and scoffed coldly, âThis is interesting. That Fu Zhi just wonât give us peace of mind.â
âSo itâs Fu Zhi who beat him? Isnât that a good thing? Our school has strict rules, and she can get expelled for fighting in school.â
âDo you still think that your school will do something to restrain Fu Zhi? The so-called school rules are never meant to control those good students in the eyes of the school authority!â
âThen what should we do now? We canât just keep letting her get her way.â
âWhat should we do? Nothing!â
Fu Zhi was supported by Li Nanli and the last thing Ouyang Ya wanted was to sow discord between the Li Family and the Ouyang Family.
She did not say anything back to Mu Chenxi. She just took her bag and went out of the room.
Since Mu Chenxi needed her help, she followed after Ouyang Ya without thinking twice.

Inside the emergency room.
Raptor was doing the magnetic therapy on the bed, smiling and giggling like a fool as he stared at his phone.
When the doctor saw Ouyang Ya and Mu Chenxi, he went up to them and said, âYou guys are his family, right? Well, the good news is his waist is fine, but the bad news is that thereâs something wrong with his brain, so I suggest we perform a CT scan on him.â
This was not the first time Fu Zhi got rid of the people that she brought.
Ouyang Ya took a deep breath and replied, âThank you, doctor. I need to talk to the patient first, and then you can bring him to do a CT scan.â
After the doctor had left, she sat on the chair beside the bed with a guilty expression on her face.
âIâm sorry, Raptor. Itâs all because of me that you end up like this. I didnât expect that Fu Zhi would be so audacious to beat you! If you hadnât come to Yu City, you wouldnât have come across her. No matter what, I will help you to get an explanation from No.1 High School!â
Upon hearing what she had said, Raptor got up from the bed and said, âExplanation? Can you please use that little, rusty brain of yours and think? Have you ever seen a school step in and stop a father from beating his son?â
