Confused

Below Number Nine City lies the crystal core farm. To them, crystal cores are nothing more than a number.

"Nothing more than a number?"

That statement truly makes one resent the wealthy.

Jiang You's gaze, cold as ice, fixed on Wang Qichuan's other kidney.

As if sensing her stare, Wang Qichuan instantly felt a pain in his kidney. Although he was an old man and no longer had many needs in certain aspects, he still needed his kidneys!

"Rebellious Son!! What are you hesitating for?"

"Between your father and crystal cores, what is there to hesitate about?!"

"You ungrateful little bastard, I should have shot you against the wall back then. You unfilial son, who is more important, your dad or crystal cores?!"

"You've been hoping for my death so you could take over, haven't you? Stick your face over here, let your father slap you a couple of times!"

"I raised you with my own hands, and this is how you repay your own father?"

"I'm not dead yet, the Wang family's money isn't yours yet!"

Wang Qichuan hopped around, clutching his kidney. His disheveled white hair swayed with his movements as he roared curses at his own son.

In a daze, Jiang You saw a glimpse of the Mad Doctor, who would go insane after failed experiments.

On the other side, the second son of the Wang family also had a rather interesting expression.

Sixty million was already a huge sum, and it was for Tier 2 crystal cores.

Sixty million pebbles could kill a crowd if thrown. It wasn't that he hadn't given enough, but that damned little bitch was too greedy!

He had felt a little sorry for the old man initially, but seeing him now, impaled with sabers yet still able to curse with such vigor, he regretted arriving so early. He was the future Patriarch. Now, being yelled at and pointed at by his own father in front of everyone, where was his authority?

He could already imagine how the Li family and the Zhang family were looking at him from behind.

The second son of the Wang family glanced over casually and, as expected, saw the faces of the two families flushed red from holding back laughter.

Seeing him look over.

The Zhang family said, "Nephew, don't misunderstand. We're not laughing at you. I just remembered my pig at home gave birth to eighteen piglets, and I'm so happy I can't stop smiling."

The Li family chimed in, "Old Wang is really something. He doesn't even consider the occasion when he throws a tantrum. It's fine, nephew. Your father is in the wrong here. We're all on your side. When he comes out, Uncle will have a good talk with him!"

The second son of the Wang family said coldly, "Our father-son relationship doesn't require outsiders to interfere."

The outsider, Patriarch Li: "..."

Patriarch Wang, who had initially wanted to save as much as possible even while impaled with sabers, was now agitated like a mole cultivated by Jiang You. He yelled for his son to send the crystal cores. He looked just like a white-eyed wolf whose elbows were constantly turning outwards.

Wang Qichuan was doing this, in essence, to save himself. His son didn't know how big that bitch's appetite was, but he did. She was so greedy she wanted to swallow the sky. If he didn't strip the Wang family of a layer of skin, he wouldn't be able to leave here. He was only sixty years old. Number Nine City had already researched methods to extend human lifespan through mutant projects. He could live to at least 120 years old, meaning his life was only halfway through. He absolutely could not die here in humiliation.

More than ten minutes later, Jiang You dragged Wang Qichuan back into the house.

As soon as they entered, Wang Qichuan collapsed onto the floor, clutching the dagger in his waist. His face was deathly pale, and large drops of sweat streamed down his face. His breaths grew heavier with each gasp, like a leaky bellows. His earlier energetic demeanor had all been an act. After all, a vibrant Patriarch Wang had more value to be saved than a half-dead Wang Qichuan.

If you can't find the book by its title, try searching for the author. Maybe the title has just been changed!

He couldn't let those people see his weakened state.

Jiang You never dreamed that her first attempt at kidnapping for ransom would yield such an astonishing sum. Ninety million, not ninety million Tier 2 crystal cores, but ninety million Tier 3 crystal cores! The leap from Tier 2 to Tier 3 crystal cores was a qualitative change. The two were incomparable. The Wang family's assets were certainly more than this, but this was all their liquid capital. After all, crystal cores were constantly being consumed. She sat in a single chair, waiting for the Wang family to send the crystal cores in.

Wang Qichuan said weakly, "After you get the crystal cores, how will you escape Number Nine City? Why don't you come back to the Wang family with me? You stabbed me so many times earlier, but I don't blame you. We're on opposing sides, and it's natural to be ruthless."

I not only don't blame you, but I also admire you. You can seriously consider what I proposed to you before.

"If you marry my son, you'll be the mistress of the Wang family from now on!"

It had to be said, Wang Qichuan was a ruthless character.

After being stabbed so many times by Jiang You and extorted for so many crystal cores, he could still think of making her his daughter-in-law.

Jiang You carried the fire seed. What would descendants born with the natural fire seed gene be like?

Wang Qichuan was already looking forward to it.

"Wang Qichuan, if I marry your son, then you'll have to be prepared to lose two sons, because the wedding night will be his death day."

Jiang You sat quietly on the chair. In the dark room, Wang Qichuan couldn't see the expression on her face.

About half an hour later, the flying vehicles transporting the crystal cores arrived.

They flew in the sky in an orderly fashion and dropped them one by one.

Sacks and sacks of crystal cores were heavily thrown in from the balcony, hitting the ground.

These flying vehicles calculated with great precision. They shook the snakeskin bags with mechanical arms in the air, and then loosened the opening the moment the bags swung, allowing them to accurately land on the balcony floor using inertia, without breaking the windows.

She pointed at the short-legged experimenter, "Go drag all those sacks in."

"Me?"

The short-legged experimenter was somewhat unwilling. He was afraid of being shot full of holes, but it seemed there was no other choice at the moment.

He secretly glanced hatefully at Jiang You, thinking that if she ever fell into his hands, he would definitely make her wish she were dead or alive!

He wanted to make this woman who bullied him beg for mercy beneath him, letting him do whatever he pleased.

To trample her into the mud and make her regret what she had done today.

Thinking that he could completely grasp that fair and tender skin, and transform that aloof demeanor into charming sobs, the experimenter's eyes turned red, filled with excitement.

Jiang You's gaze swept over him lightly. The experimenter immediately lowered his head, hiding his thoughts, and walked out.

Even with a hurried glance, she understood the anger and the fleeting desire in the experimenter's eyes.

Jiang You let out a cold laugh.

This was men. The most direct way they could think of tormenting a woman was through physical humiliation.

Stupid thing, what did he think this was?

Jiang You idly observed his habitual small movements and walking posture, her lips curving slightly, looking like she was in a good mood.

After starving for a few days, he had clearly lost weight.

Perhaps the experimenter himself hadn't noticed, but his back bore some resemblance to Jiang You's.

The crystal cores were merely icing on the cake, meant to confuse the main point.

Her exorbitant demands, the larger the sum she asked for, the easier it would be for others to focus on the extortion.

Her true objective was to use Wang Qichuan to get herself out of the Research and Development Center.

And this experimenter was the bridge for her escape.
