Chapter 472: Zi Yi’s Courtyard Got Searched.

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Zi Yi sent the surveillance footage to him.

Officer Li was about to return, but just as he was about to make his way back, his phone rang.

He reported what had transpired here, but did not expect the other party to give him another direct order. “The courtyard must be searched.”

Officer Li was not a fool and immediately guessed that the pretty girl must have offended someone. After he hung up the phone, he pondered over what kind of excuse he could find to search through the house.

“Cough…” Officer Li cleared his throat and said, “Even though those people did not enter your residence last night, it’s evident in this type of situation that someone is trying to frame you. Since I’m already here, it’s my duty to help check if there are any security risks or flaws in your courtyard.”

Officer Li felt like something was pricking his consciousness when he said that and he felt bad. Therefore, he continued to say, “Don’t worry, I’ll only be checking if there are any security issues in your courtyard.”

Zi Yi seemed to have believed his words and nodded her head, before she then made a motion for him to enter. “I’ll have to trouble you, Officer.”

“My surname is Li,” Officer Li said to Zi Yi.

Zi Yi nodded her head and told him her surname too. “My surname is Zi.” Before she started bringing him around, she asked, “Officer Li, where would you like to start?”

“The front yard then.”

“Alright.”

Zi Yi led Officer Li to take a look around.

When Officer Li saw the racing cars that were worth at least 10 million each parked in the garage, he asked in surprise, “There’s someone in your family that likes to drive racing cars?”

Instead of answering, Zi Yi asked, “Officer Li must have recently come to the capital?”

Officer Li glanced at her and nodded. “That’s right. I was just transferred over from J Province.”

Zi Yi nodded her head iln understanding. “I’m the one who drives these cars.”

“Miss Zi knows how to drive a racing car?”

“Yes.”

Officer Li took another glance at her. He could not imagine the image of such a pretty girl driving a racing car.

After the two of them finished checking out the front yard, they continued heading for the backyard.

When he saw the layout of the backyard, Officer Li could not help but praise her. “Miss Zi, your backyard is really beautiful.”

“Thank you for the compliment.”

As soon as she said that, she gestured for him to walk ahead. “Officer Li, please.”

Officer Li felt that the pretty girl was not only beautiful but also polite. Thus, he merely took a casual glance around.

Other than the numerous valuable and beautiful pots of flowers, which revealed the fact that the owner was extremely rich, there was nothing special. And so, Officer Li left after doing a casual check.

After Officer Li and his men left, Little Loli came out from inside the house.

She giggled as she said, “Master, do you think that Officer Li was embarrassed to do a more thorough check because you are too pretty?”

Zi Yi tilted her head and said, “I’ll install stealth mode for you after I return tonight. If anyone else were to approach you in the future, you can justturn invisible.”

“Alright.”

Zi Yi headed towards the living room.

Little Loli hastily followed after her. “Master, you said that you will be giving me a new skin. When will you be changing it?”

“Tonight.”

“Yay! Then… can I change into a skin that has a figure like yours?”

Zi Yi had just reached the door when she heard what Little Loli said, and she turned around to look in her direction.

Little Loli had an expectant expression on her face.

Zi Yi said earnestly, “It’s somewhat unsuitable for you to have a figure like mine with your face.”

“How is it unsuitable? There are such types of people on the television and they are very pretty and charming!”

Zi Yi did not feel like entertaining Little Loli and she continued walking inside.

Lu Jingye just so happened to be standing near the full-length windows in the living room as he looked outside the courtyard while he was on the phone.

He was discussing with Mrs. Lu about the meeting between the two families. Mrs. Lu seemed to have said something and Lu Jingye turned around to look at Zi Yi who was walking over. “Mother can prepare…”

Lu Jingye mentioned numerous types of presents in one breath.

Zi Yi was surprised by the number of gifts.

After Lu Jingye and Mrs. Lu ended the call, Zi Yi walked over to him and asked, “Ah Jing, why did you get Auntie Lu to prepare so many presents?”

Lu Jingye put away his phone and said, “There’s a total of seventeen (Dou Yunhao has a wife and son) people in your grandfather’s family and there’s a need to prepare seventeen presents.”

Zi Yi’s lips curved up upon hearing his words. “How did you know what they like?”

“I have specially asked around about it.” Lu Jingye held her hand and said, “My mother said that they are available anytime and they can follow the Dou Family’s arrangements.”

“Alright, I’ll talk to my Second Uncle about it today.”

After the two of them finished breakfast, Zi Yi headed to the research base.

The day passed by in a flash.

After Zi Yi and Dou Xiaoyong walked out of the research room, Zi Yi conveyed the words of Mrs. Lu.

Dou Xiaoyong nodded his head. “Then we’ll try our best to free up a day for the families to meet.”

Having said that, he looked towards Zi Yi. He could not help but ask, “Yiyi, have you really decided on Little Lu?”

Zi Yi nodded her head and said, “Yes.”

Dou Xiaoyong opened his mouth with the intention to persuade her but ended up giving up. This child has finally changed her habits and the person she likes is also someone they approved of. He had nothing else to say, and so, he changed the topic. “Come over tonight for dinner. You can meet your grandfather too.”

“Okay.” Zi Yi did not reject his invitation.

When they arrived at the Dou Family, it had started drizzling with rain.

Dou Yunhao and Dou Zerui came out with an umbrella in hand.

“Yiyi, are you cold?” Dou Yunhao saw that Zi Yi was wearing very little and asked out of concern.

“It’s fine, I’m not cold.”

The four of them made their way inside. The other members of the family were already waiting for them in the living room.

As usual, Zi Yi visited Elder Dou first.

Elder Dou was in good spirits today and he was sitting on the chair when Zi Yi made her way in. There was a jumper draped over his shoulders as he read a book through his reading glasses.

“Grandfather.”

The moment Zi Yi called out to him, Elder Dou raised his head and revealed a smile. “Yiyi, you’re here.”

Zi Yi walked to him and glanced at the book he was reading. She was rather surprised by the content. “Grandfather, you’re reading a book about the strange and unusual things in the world?”

“That’s right.” Elder Dou passed the book to Zi Yi. “I’m old now and it’s hard to read the small letters. Yiyi, come read a story for me.”

Zi Yi nodded her head and casually selected a story, she started reading aloud.

The story Zi Yi read was about a certain parasite of the southern region. After she finished reading the story, Zi Yi muttered, “Is there really the existence of such parasites in this world?”

“You should keep an open mind.” Elder Dou said, “There are some things in the world that can’t be explained by science.”

Zi Yi opened her mouth and really wanted to say that many things had been resolved in the interstellar era.

However, this type of sorcery was already long lost in the interstellar era.1 Zi Yi had only seen knowledge about this topic through the literature on ancient earth. The records on this sorcery were also rather vague and so, she had merely read it like an ordinary story.

Hearing what Elder Dou said, Zi Yi asked, “Grandpa, why do you say that? Isn’t the poisonous parasite all about mixing all kinds of insects that contain potent poison into a container, then letting them fight it out? The last one standing would then become the poison parasite? It would merely be a parasite of the combination of various poisons and not as extraordinary as what the book depicts.”
