Chapter 1425: Send Me to the Research Institute

Feng Yi looked at the exhausted Su Li, and fawningly said, "Empress Dowager, please."

Feng Huaijin looked at the little girl whose small face resembled his so much, and his anger surged up.

This was different from Tuanzi.

Girls weren’t as sturdy as boys; you couldn’t beat them, you had to educate them in a refined way.

Feng Yi watched Feng Huaijin’s hand hanging by his side clench into a fist, relax, then clench again. She swallowed, and instinctively edged closer to Su Li.

In her memory, she had only been hit once by her dad. It was when she ran away from home as a child, and they couldn’t find her for several days. When she came back, her dad strung her up and beat her, while her older brother sat to the side, immersed in the beauty of physics, studying how force was generated as the willow switch lashed her butt.

Feng Yi lowered her head, feeling a grievance she couldn’t quite put into words. "Dad, Mom, I came here to deliver medicine. I don’t have school to go to, I can’t just stay at home like a prisoner all the time. I only went out to eat something tasty. The vegetables and meat ten-plus years from now aren’t as good as now..."

Feng Huaijin’s gaze turned cold, and he barked sharply, "You still dare talk!"

Feng Yi was so scared her tears almost fell. She buried herself against Su Li’s shoulder and burst into loud sobs, choking as she said, "I—I didn’t do anything wrong to begin with! I’m not a criminal, why do I have to stay home all day long!"

What sixteen- or seventeen-year-old girl just stays at home playing? The world is so big, with so many fun and novel things—why can’t she go see, go eat, go drink? And she’d only taken a stroll in the city; she hadn’t even left the country.

She hadn’t done anything bad! How did it end up looking like she was in the wrong?

Su Li felt a pang in her heart. She patted the back of Feng Yi’s hand and said, "Forget it, at least you’re not hurt."

Feng Huaijin’s eyes were still cold. Sitting in the car, he let out a cold laugh. "Indeed, not hurt. Now that someone has their eye on you, things are really interesting."

Feng Yi sat in the front passenger seat, wiping her tears. She turned her head, choking as she asked, "What do you mean, someone has their eye on me? I’m the Feng Family’s daughter—who’d dare target our family?"

Feng Huaijin rubbed his brow and exhaled, his voice icy. "Who else could it be? This is your dear eldest uncle’s doing."

Feng Yi listened for a long moment, then shuddered all over. In disbelief, she said, "Dad... you mean to say that the fact I came from more than ten years in the Future might have been found out by foreign officials?"

Feng Huaijin and Su Li exchanged a look, neither confirming nor denying.

The seventeen-year-old daughter of a Future richest man—given her learning and cultivation, she knew many things that hadn’t yet happened. It was entirely possible that a random piece of news she’d seen could help a country avoid ten years of taking the wrong path!

People compete with people, and countries compete with countries too.

This little girl had value. For a girl like this, it was worth the risk of sending people to capture her.

The plan had originally been to handle it quietly in the middle of the night, without a sound. Who knew that those Martial Arts Grandmasters from Xuan Ting would suddenly jump in, completely wrecking the plan and blowing things up! It caused such a stir that everyone found out.

Feng Yi’s lips had gone pale. She stammered, "Everyone knows? They won’t... they won’t take me to a laboratory to dissect me and do experiments, will they? Or test my brain waves?"

Su Li and Feng Huaijin looked at each other and, for a moment, neither spoke. That silence made Feng Yi even more terrified.

"Then what do I do? I won’t get captured, will I?" Feng Yi was starting to fidget restlessly. Suddenly something occurred to her, and her eyes lit up. "How about sending me to the research institute?"
