The True Heiress Is The Real Bigshot

Chapter 182: The biggest vest is off [3 updates]

“You can’t even find Norton University, how could you…” He Xun’s pupils suddenly constricted, and he was taken aback, “What did you say?”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

It was as if he had heard the most ridiculous joke, the mocking color rising in the eyes behind his gold-rimmed glasses: “Could it be that you actually have the qualifications for an interview? Can you even get into Norton University?”

Apart from the current students of Norton University, outsiders had no idea of the exact location of Norton University, let alone getting in.

Even for students, a pass was required to go to Norton University.

He had only one pass left, just enough for him to take three students for the interview this time, while also completing his own assessment task.

It could be said that once you leave without retaining your place, you could never return to Norton University.

But to retain a place, that was even more difficult than passing the assessment.

In an A-level academy, at most one out of a hundred students might have the qualifications to retain their place.

He Xun just felt that Ying Zijin was being too presumptuous.

Do you really believe that leaving them speechless at that public Q&A session would win the favor of Norton University?

It was laughably absurd.

“Do you know the status of Norton University in the academic world?” He Xun’s tone was even more sarcastic, “You’re not even a student of Norton University, how can you have interview qualifications? Do you own Norton University?”

“And please, Mr. He, remember what you just said.” Ying Zijin did not answer him directly, but nodded slightly, her expression indifferent, “What doesn’t belong to you will be taken away.”

He Xun frowned.

Before he could understand the meaning of her words, the girl had already left.

He slowly exhaled a breath and, after a while, limped towards the apartment he had rented.

Old Madam Ying only came around leisurely this afternoon, and upon awakening, she immediately clutched at Zhong Manhua, anxious to know about Ying Luwei’s situation.

Zhong Manhua also knew she could no longer keep it from her and reluctantly spoke up.

Old Madam Ying was so furious that she nearly fainted once again.

Grasping her chest, her fingers trembling, she said, “I don’t believe it! It must be those people slandering Weiwei!”

Zhong Manhua gave a wry smile.

The Yi Character Team was a direct subordinate of the higher-ups, strictly enforcing the law. Even the imperial families had to treat them with great deference; how could they specifically target Ying Luwei?

Even if Ying Luwei hadn’t been taken in, the events sixteen years ago made it impossible for her to continue living with Ying Luwei.

After Ying Luwei was arrested, Zhong Manhua actually felt a sense of relief.

This way, no one would know who the abandoned baby was all those years ago.

“Phone!” Old Madam Ying trembled, “Zhong Manhua, give me your mobile phone, I need to call the Jiang Family.”

“With such a big incident, why is there no reaction from their side? They just watched as Weiwei was taken away?”

Zhong Manhua handed over the mobile phone, opened her mouth wanting to say that the Jiang Family had disassociated themselves from the very beginning.

But Old Madam Ying was already dialing the number, her tone accusatory as she chastised, “Ye Suhe, what do you mean? Why aren’t you taking care of Luwei? What was our initial agreement?”

Ye Suhe was the current name of Old Madam Jiang.

She was only a few years older than Ying Zhenting.

When Ye Suhe received the call from Old Madam Ying, she was neither annoyed nor angry, but merely laughed lightly, “Take care? Do you want her to drag Moyuan down with her?”

“As for initially? Let me be frank with you, after so many years, I’m not afraid of you exposing our affair; let’s see who ends up in trouble then.”

Old Madam Ying gasped in anger, unable to catch her breath: “Ye Suhe, you, you…”

“The Jiang Family has already called off the engagement, please don’t cling to it, Ying Family.” Ye Suhe laughed again, “With Moyuan’s excellent prospects, I am going to choose a socialite and rich lady for him, how could he possibly marry your daughter who is marked by one scandal after another?”

“However, your daughter takes after you; she’s pretty low-class.”

Having said that, Ye Suhe hung up the phone.

She turned and said, “Madam Fu, let’s continue.”

Madam Fu had naturally heard Ye Suhe’s phone conversation and asked nonchalantly, “Who was that?”

“An old hag who’s about to die.” Ye Suhe took a sip of tea, scoffing, “Her own daughter got taken away, and she still wants to harm my son.”

She had never liked Ying Luwei, but she couldn’t stand Jiang Moyuan’s interest in her and the dirt Old Madam Ying had on her.

Although the Jiang’s were now led by Jiang Moyuan, many of the old shareholders still wanted to bring back Jiang Huaping and were resisting.

This was something she would absolutely not allow to happen.

The Fu Family was currently a very good potential partner.

That evening when he got home, Wen Tinglan was feeling much better.

The gloominess had dissipated from his body, but the desolation lingered.

Wen Fong Mian could tell there was something wrong with him and was quite concerned, “Yaoyao, is Yuyu’s sickness getting worse?”

“No, don’t worry about it, I’ll arrange everything.” Ying Zijin opened her computer, paused, then added, “Dad, I might need to go abroad.”

“Abroad?” Wen Fong Mian furrowed his brows, “Why suddenly run off to such a far place?”

“I have some important matters to deal with,” Ying Zijin lowered her gaze, indifferent, “and incidentally, to meet some old friends.”

“I see,” Wen Fengmian took it that she meant someone she knew in Shanghai City and nodded, “I’m not at ease with you going alone, dear. It’s better for someone to accompany you.”

Ying Zijin nodded in agreement, pondering for a moment, “Dad, after I graduate, I might take you guys to the capital.”

Wen Fengmian’s expression briefly froze, “The capital is indeed big, but it’s also a great place for development.”

He smiled, “Dad’s getting old and won’t mix in with you young people’s affairs, but wherever you want to go, I’ll support you.”

After Wen Fengmian stepped out, Ying Zijin was silent for a while before logging into the NOK forum.

The account Cola Milk Tea Fries had reached a hundred thousand growth points.

But within the hidden section crowded with high rollers, it could only be considered at the bottom.

Actually, she did not wish to have any contact with people from her past, but the retired life she wanted had clearly been disrupted.

So, contacting them wouldn’t hurt.

However, her new account obviously could not make the connection.

Ying Zijin thoughtfully stared at the upper right corner of the webpage where [Cola Milk Tea Fries] was for three seconds, then she clicked logout and returned to the login interface.

Then she entered another account.

Once this account was logged in, the forum’s interface changed again.

The background turned to a dark gold color.

This was the real NOK forum.

Those who could own this kind of page were less than five in the entire NOK forum, and not even the administrators could see it.

Ying Zijin clicked on the Bounty District and posted a bounty before going offline.

Late at night.

Over the Atlantic, the rain poured relentlessly.

It was a ship on the surface, a whaler, but in reality, it was exploring new life in the deep sea, conducting archaeology and scientific research.

Rumors had it that this place was once the site of ancient Atlantis, a grand continent with a splendid civilization that sank beneath the waves due to a natural disaster ten thousand years ago, taking all its civilization with it, leaving nothing behind.

Many were convinced of the real existence of Atlantis, believing that finding the remains of this ancient land would bestow wealth even greater than that of the Lorentz Family.

Over the years, many hunters listed had rushed to the sea, but to no avail.

A young man sat in the cabin, also looking at a computer.

The screen displayed the hidden section of the NOK forum.

As usual, the young man browsed the bounties in the Bounty District.

Although his account was not of the highest level, it was still S-level, and therefore, he had little interest in many ordinary bounties.

The offers weren’t tempting enough to pique his interest.

Not until he saw a particularly interesting bounty post, one that mentioned Norton University.

The young man clicked on it to take a look.

[Bounty]

Bounty for one SS-level Norton University invitation.

The person offering the bounty will personally collect it from Norton University.

Bounty reward: One divination from the bounty poster.

“Tsch.” After reading, the young man scoffed, “Another fortuneteller peddling false promises.”

One divination in exchange for an invitation to Norton University?

And from the SS-level at that?

What a losing deal.

Moreover, invitations from SS-level colleges haven’t been seen for years.

Unlike other levels, SS-level college invitations can only be issued with the personal signature of the president of Norton University.

Thus, the only person who could possibly accept this bounty would be the president of Norton University himself.

But why would the president of Norton University need a fortuneteller to do a divination?

Even if someone wanted to accept it, they wouldn’t have the means to secure the invitation.

Probably some newbie, clueless about how things work, posted this ridiculous post.

The young man was about to close this bounty post and browse others when his gaze happened to fall on the user information of the person who posted the bounty.
