The Mysterious Heiress: Researcher In Disguise

Chapter 406: Lu Yumo Wearing A Skirt – 8

Fu Zhi glanced toward Wang Yu and raised her brows, looking menacing and imposing.

Wang Yu’s eye turned red around the rims, and he felt as if he had been hit by a bolt of lightning. He turned around and pulled a bottle of perfume out of nowhere. Then, he sprayed the perfume on him and threw himself on the floor.

He covered his face with one hand and sobbed. “How could you hit me because of some rich woman?!”

Fu Zhi said, “Can you stop being so melodramatic? It won’t work on me, and it will definitely not work on your relationship either.”

Wang Yu was stunned and felt offended.

As he was getting up from the floor, Lu Yumo delivered a kick to his leg. “It’s getting dark. I think it’s time to destroy the Wang Corporation.”

Wang Yu decided to go along with him. He tore his shirt open, covered his face with his hand shyly, and said, “I’ll do anything if you save my fictional great-grandfather with cerebral palsy.”

Lu Yumo then went through those classic lines that he’d read in novels in his mind and said, “Woman... Hah. Sure, when he gets back, we will get a divorce. Anyway, here is 2 yuan for you. Sign the contract, and your inheritance will be mine from now on.”

Wang Yu continued to cry. “You cold-blooded monster!”

Then, he took Fu Zhi’s bunny bag into his arms and added, “I’m going to run away with your son, you b*stard! There’s no way you’ll be able to see him again!”

Resting his chin on his hand, Ye Jiu watched the live performance of Lu Yumo and Wang Yu with keen pleasure. He even nudged Lu Yubai and said, “Hurry up, Lu Yubai. Pretend that you’re pregnant. You’re going to be his unforgettable lover!”

Lu Yubai did not know what to say.

Fu Zhi hastily saved her bunny bag from Wang Yu’s clutches as she threw a disgusted look at him.

Looking at them messing with each other, Wu Zhiheng scoffed coldly. “What a bunch of clowns.”

Then, he turned back to his teammates and continued their strategy plan. “Lu Yumo is down. Ye Jiu and Lu Yubai are the shooters on their team, so just don’t mind the other three and keep close tabs on the two of them. Whenever you have the chance, pass the ball to Chen Shan, and Chen Shan, you’re going to try to score as many baskets as possible. There are about 10 minutes left in the first half of the match, so make sure to even the score before the match ends. Then, we will show them what national-level athletes are made of in the second half of the match.”

Wu Zhiheng put his hand forward, and the rest of his team members followed suit. Then, they swung their arms up and down three times before shouting in unison, “Let’s go!”

Fu Zhi asked the school doctor beside her, “Hang Yuan didn’t bring a doctor, right?”

The school doctor put on his spectacles and replied, “They are not here for a vacation but to look for trouble. Besides, No.1 High School isn’t a garbage shelter, and there is no way we’d let them bring so many people into our school.”

“Then, no matter what happens later, just don’t move until I signal.”

The school doctor replied, “Yes, madam!”

At that moment, Director Liu and Shu Weiguo approached them.

Shu Weiguo studied Fu Zhi from head to toe. He did not think that Fu Zhi could change the tide of the match at all. However, considering the things his director had told him about Fu Zhi, he then said, “Are you not going to stretch? You seem pretty short for a girl your age to me.”

Fu Zhi was stunned.

She closed her ears, as she did not want to hear anything the man in front of her said anymore. Lu Yubai went to tell the referee to continue the match.

Fu Zhi followed Ye Jiu to the court.

At the same time, Lu Yumo, who was wearing Fu Zhi’s pink dress, took a seat on the bench elegantly, like a noble lady from Yu City, with Fu Zhi’s loudspeaker in his hand.

The gymnasium was filled with all sorts of voices thanks to the crowd, but then they saw Fu Zhi walk onto the basketball court.

They all looked at her, feeling dumbfounded. After all, they had thought Wang Yu was going to replace Lu Yumo to continue the game. None of them had expected that No.1 High School would send Fu Zhi in instead.

“Holy cr*p! It’s Sister Zhi! She’s going to obliterate them all!”

“I have no idea why, but I have a feeling that we’re going to win now that Sister Zhi is joining the match!”

“Do you think Sister Zhi is a better basketball player than Lu Yumo? If that’s true, then Hang Yuan is doomed!”

“I’m not sure about that. I have never seen her play basketball with Lu Yubai before.”

“Maybe they sent a girl to the court to prevent them from playing dirty again. After all, they were all stunned by Sister Zhi when she was dancing just now. I’m sure they wouldn’t hit a girl, right?”

...

It took the students from Hang Yuan a few minutes to recompose themselves.

No.1 High School had not sent in Wang Yu. Instead, they’d sent in Fu Zhi, the girl who had led the cheerleading team just now.

Before Chen Shan and his team could say anything, the cheerleading team of Hang Yuan, starting from Zhou Bingbing, erupted into laughter one after another as they looked at Fu Zhi.

“Does No.1 High School not have any more male students? How can they let a girl play basketball?”

“I doubt she knows how to play basketball. What is she gonna do if Chen Shan snatches the ball from her?”

“Some girls just think they are pretty and all guys should be nice to them. Does she really think all guys are the same? Why can’t she just stand there and cheer for her team? Why must she stick her nose into the basketball match?”

“Because she has a lot of brothers and she’s pretty.” A voice rang out as a purple pom-pom fell on Hang Yuan’s team. Lu Yumo sat on a small bench and was carried by Wang Yu and a student from Class 21 to the center of the cheerleading squad of No.1 High School.

Su Xing was fanning him with a fan in her hand.

Lu Yumo, aka “the noble lady”, rolled his eyes at the cheerleaders of Hang Yuan. “You’re a bunch of ugly b*stards!”

Su Xing then warned him, “Mind your language. Everyone is watching you.”

Lu Yumo, aka “the noble lady”, nodded. Then, he picked up the loudspeaker and said, “What a bunch of pretentious b*tches!”

After saying that, he turned toward the basketball team of Hang Yuan and added, “What a bunch of peasants. Just you wait for your punishment!”

‘Can you stop being so dramatic?’

Director Liu hastily went up to Lu Yumo, aka “the noble lady”, and said, “Shouldn’t you go to the hospital to get your wound tended to? What are you doing here?”

Lu Yumo, aka “the noble lady”, harrumphed. “When Heaven is about to place a great responsibility on a great man, it always frustrates his spirit and will first, exhausts his muscles and bones, exposes him to starvation and poverty, and harasses him with troubles and setbacks to stimulate his spirit, toughen his nature, and enhance his abilities. Did my parents give birth to me and send me to school to get an education so that I could lie listlessly in a hospital bed when all my friends are in trouble?”

Lu Yumo then concluded, “Xiao Liu, you’ve really disappointed me.”

Director Liu, aka Xiao Liu, was speechless.

Lu Yumo nodded in satisfaction as he scanned the crowd. Then, he pulled out his phone and sent a message to Xu Wei to ask her to bring a pair of pants to him.

Xu Wei, aka the real noble lady, had just finished her yoga session. She replied gracefully, [Did you split your pants again? Well, go and buy an adult diaper from the kiosk first. I have to go to the market later.]

Lu Yumo did not know what to say.

Then, he replied, [Your precious daughter is going to play basketball later, and there’s a good chance she might be bullied by the other team.]

He also sent a picture of his swollen wrist to Xu Wei.

Xu Wei’s eyes instantly filled with tears the moment she saw the picture and the message. [Did they beat you? Just because you are weak? Are they going to beat my Zhizhi too? Wait for me for a while. I’m coming right away!]

Lu Yumo replied, [Remember to bring my pants. Thank you.]

Sitting on the bench, Wu Zhiheng was dumbfounded when he realized Fu Zhi was going to the court.

The other students from Hang Yuan were stunned as well, and they could not regain their composure for a long time.

After Wu Zhiheng came back to his senses, he walked up to the referee and said, “What does No.1 High School mean by this? They can just tell us if they don’t have any more players. Why do they have to send in a girl as a player? Are they humiliating Hang Yuan?”

He did not understand why Fu Zhi had to stick her nose into everything.

‘Does she really think she’s good at everything?’

After hearing Wu Zhiheng’s complaint, the referee looked at No.1 High School’s director and said, “Wu Zhiheng has a point. I don’t think it’s suitable to let a girl play...”

“I think both you and Wu Zhiheng might have misunderstood something about this matter.”

The person talking was Shu Weiguo. “This is an interscholastic event. Everyone, be it girls or boys, can join the match as long as they want. Besides, this is just a game. There’s no need to be so serious about it. Could you be afraid of losing? Or are you looking down on her just because she’s a girl?”

Wu Zhiheng did not know what to say in return.

It was true that both girls and boys could play basketball, but what he could not fathom was why a girl had to meddle in this particular basketball match. If Fu Zhi really wanted to play basketball, she could join the girls’ basketball team. Besides, did she know how to play basketball?

That said, Wu Zhiheng could not question Fu Zhi.

Shu Weiguo had said this was just a game, and he would lose if he took it too seriously.

He looked at Ouyang Ya. Noticing his gaze, Ouyang Ya said, “It’s fine. Look at the bright side. We’re the ones with the advantage. Just treat her as another basketball player on the court. I’m sure Fu Zhi doesn’t want you guys to go easy on her, right?”

Fu Zhi replied expressionlessly, “It seems to me that not only are you guys incompetent, but you are also as noisy as crickets. Are we going to start the match or not?”

The referee asked Wu Zhiheng to leave the court.

Fu Zhi was going to replace Lu Yumo as the small forward. Ye Jiu remained in his position as the shooting guard, while Lu Yubai was the power forward.

Everyone knew that the small forward was also known as number three and was responsible for scoring points and defending.

The referee blew the whistle, and the atmosphere tensed up.

All the students from No.1 High School watched the match with bated breath. They could clearly feel that Fu Zhi’s aura was definitely stronger than Lu Yumo’s.

Chen Shan threw a contemptuous glance at Fu Zhi. His teammate was looking at her with a disdainful look on his face as well as he said, “I’m sure the reason No.1 High School sent her to the court is to distract us or seduce us. They are really shameless.”

“Yeah. Although she’s pretty, she isn’t as elegant as Zhou Bingbing, nor is she as noble as Ouyang Ya.”

“Don’t mind her. Just focus on Ye Jiu and Lu Yubai.”

Although Fu Zhi had heard everything they’d said, she did not care. After all, they would not have a chance to talk anymore later. At the same time, Fu Zhi also felt sorry for them.

All of them were national-level athletes with a bright future ahead of them. However, due to their arrogance, they were going to lose it.

Song Fang’s heart was pumping fast in his chest. Fu Zhi threw them a glance and ordered, “Don’t forget to pass the ball.”

Song Fang did not know whether he should cry or laugh now. “Sister Zhi, honestly, 3-point shots are hard. Given your arm strength, you might not be able to pull it off, and in the worst-case scenario, you might also injure yourself.”

‘Who do you think I am? Weak and feeble Lu Yumo?’

...

Very soon, the match began.

Chen Shan began dribbling the ball.

Ye Jiu was being guarded by two first-class athletes from Hang Yuan, while the rest were guarding Lu Yubai, Song Fang, and Zhou Zihuai.

Nobody was guarding Fu Zhi, since they did not think that a girl could do anything on the court.

Chen Shan soon entered the 3-point line. He was not particularly good at 3-point shots, so Song Fang was waiting for the chance to grab the ball from him.

Holding the ball, just as Chen Shan was about to jump, he suddenly felt that something was amiss, and his heart palpitated.

Then, before he knew it, the ball in his hand disappeared. He was stunned for about 0.1 seconds, and when he finally came back to his senses, he looked at the hoop.

The ball had not gone through the hoop, and he could still hear the sound of the ball bouncing rhythmically off the floor.

Chen Shan turned his head around, but Fu Zhi had already gone far away.

He chided himself inwardly, while Song Fang cursed loudly.

Everything had happened really fast. Chen Shan did not know how Fu Zhi had snatched the ball from his hand at all.

His face turned grim when he saw Fu Zhi getting further and further away.

The coach of Hang Yuan shouted, “Defense! Defense! Keep an eye on No.8!”

Even at that moment, he still thought that Ye Jiu was No.1 High School’s trump card. Very soon, everyone dashed toward Fu Zhi.

At the same time, Fu Zhi arrived at the 3-point line.

Letting out a scoff, Chen Shan got ready to grab the ball from Fu Zhi with the help of his teammates. He was now in the center of the court. As long as he got the ball, he would pass it to Gou Qi, and another 3-point shot would be in the bag.

However, dreams were always better than reality. The moment he raised his arm to reach out for the ball in Fu Zhi’s hand, Fu Zhi ducked and moved below his raised arm. Then, she raised her arm and pointed at No.1 High School’s hoop.

Song Fang’s heart clenched in his chest as he shouted, “Zhizhi, wrong direction! Don’t throw the ball!”

‘D*mn it! They really are brother and sister!’

Outside the court, Lu Yumo collected the dress in his hand and shouted, “Go for it, Zhizhi!”

‘Don’t encourage her, you dumb piece of sh*t! That’s our basket!’

Song Fang wanted to cry.

The cheerleaders from Hang Yuan shook the pom-poms in their hands frantically.

The vice-captain then told Zhou Bingbing, “See? I told you there was something wrong with her brain, and you still wouldn’t believe me. We’re standing right below our basket, yet she still doesn’t know where she should throw the ball. She’s really an idiot!”

Everyone thought Fu Zhi had gone mad.

A smile appeared at the corner of Chen Shan’s lips.

‘See? This is what happens when you overestimate yourself.’

However, before he could celebrate with his teammates, Fu Zhi threw the ball in the opposite direction.
