“The Mita Group from the island nation!” Vice Chairman Wang said with a bitter face, “Of course… the real person who made the move was definitely not from the Mita family. They used a stockbroker to achieve this goal, but… even if all the funds were mobilized from the Mita family, I still don’t think this was the work of the Mita family. They probably didn’t want to do this on their own initiative, since acquiring our Yunzhong International is not in their interest. So… the one who really wants to acquire Yunzhong International must be someone else, or some force that wants to deal with Yunzhong International in secret.”
"So who do you think it could be? Who wants to target our Yunzhong International?" Huang Lianshu asked, somewhat puzzled.
After a moment's thought, Vice Chairman Wang said softly, "The Zhou family of Dangyang!"
Huang Lianshu asked with a face full of confusion, "How can the Zhou family of Dangyang be the Zhou family of Dangyang? Three years ago, Yunzhong International did support Yuntian Group to deal with the Zhou family of Dangyang, but that was just a normal business competition tactic. After that failure, our two conglomerates have had no further interaction. Why would they resort to such a deadly means to deal with us?"
Vice Chairman Wang shook his head and said, "I don't know about that, but according to my analysis, the only person who can fundamentally control the Mita Group is Zhou Ziwei, who suddenly reappeared a few days ago and is now known as the richest man in the country. You've probably all seen the video of the Mita family patriarch, Mita Masao, mutilating himself in the street, right? That kid used some kind of method to make those Japanese devils terrified of them. It seems only he could truly treat those Japanese devils like servants. So I have reason to believe that unless the Mita Group isn't acting under someone else's orders, if there really is someone behind the Mita Group, then it must be the Zhou family of Dangyang, and it must be Zhou Ziwei without a doubt. Because in this world, there's probably no one else who can command those Japanese devils like Zhou Ziwei, practically toying with them like monkeys!"
"Damn it!" Huang Lianshu paced around the room a couple of times in a fit of rage, then turned to look at Miao Miao, who was standing alone by the window staring blankly at the bustling street below. He then asked in a low voice, "How many minority shareholders have already sold their shares?"
Vice Chairman Wang sighed softly and said, "Four minority shareholders have already sold all their shares. The combined shares of these four minority shareholders are about 11.5%. But don't worry, I've already had people keep an eye on all the remaining shareholders, and... Hmph... If I find out that anyone wants to betray Yunzhong International, then don't blame me, Old Wang, for being ruthless."
Huang Lianshu nodded somewhat absentmindedly and said, "Eleven percent, plus the thirty percent circulating in the market... Now, forty-one percent of our Yunzhong International's shares have fallen into the hands of the Santian family, or rather, into the hands of the Zhou family of Dangyang."
Vice Chairman Wang nodded slightly and said, "That's not a big deal. Even if the Zhou family of Dangyang has acquired 41.5% of the shares of our Yunzhong International, and thus has the right to convene a board meeting and propose a chairman re-election, it doesn't mean that having more shares guarantees becoming chairman. This position isn't just about who has more spare money. The board meeting will still be controlled by us, the old shareholders. However… I'm worried about Yunzhong International's performance… If it continues to decline and incur losses… I'm afraid that sooner or later, our company's minority shareholders will be afraid of losses and their shares becoming worthless, and will switch sides to the Zhou family of Dangyang. That would be utterly disastrous. So, the most urgent task… is to completely stabilize the company's performance. Only by maintaining Yunzhong International's previous outstanding performance can we stabilize your authority, Chairman!"
Huang Lianshu nodded slightly and said nothing more... but when he turned to look at Miao Miao's alluring figure, his eyes seemed to be somewhat infatuated...
Zhou Ziwei spent most of the day in the military camp before he finally managed to gather all the necessary supplies for Susanna's treatment.
This is China, so Zhou Ziwei can no longer use the corpses of the dead to provide nutrients for the living as they are necessary for cell division.
To be honest... this method is indeed very effective. The substances needed for human cell division are certainly all present in a human corpse, without a doubt. However, this method is just too disgusting.
Besides, it's impossible for Zhou Ziwei to just grab someone and kill them to use as medicine in order to treat Susanna's injuries!
Fortunately, Zhou Ziwei now has a clone with the identity of a biology PhD, and this clone has received the memories of a biological expert in a very complete way. Therefore, based on these fragmented memories, Zhou Ziwei quickly came up with a comprehensive formula that can supply the substances needed for cell division.
This is based on cloning technology that the Americans have been researching for many years, so the possibility of it being wrong is not very high.
If even that doesn't work, then if Zhou Ziwei wants to heal Susanna's horrific scar, he'll have no choice but to kill someone to use as a medicinal ingredient.
Susanna is the kind of scientist who might disregard her own life and death in order to pursue her research.
This was originally a type of woman that Zhou Ziwei disliked. He thought, "You're a woman, why don't you stay home and please your husband, and raise your children well? Instead, you act like you have a mental illness and only know how to do academic stuff. Isn't that boring?"
Volume 3, King of the City, Chapter 577: Beauty Creation
A woman's lack of talent is considered a virtue.
The ancients' words are a bit unethical, but if viewed from another perspective, they are not entirely without reason. Don't you see that nowadays, strong women are always the least favored by men, and female PhDs and Masters find it difficult to find a suitable partner?
If a woman is too assertive, it will naturally make men feel inferior in front of her.
If a man's achievements are far inferior to his wife's, he's easily seen as a gigolo who lives off his wife. Even if you say you only love her for who she is, those gossipy people won't care. They'll happily fabricate a legend of a gigolo... Sigh, it's really tough being the husband of a strong woman...
Susanna is undoubtedly a very strong woman, and she also has many common problems that scientists have. For example, she loses all sense of time when she starts doing experiments. Even if she has something very important to do, it will be filtered out by her brain. She is usually a very particular person, but once she enters the laboratory, it is common for her not to come out for a week.
People who are too passionate about their studies and careers are bound to be less interested in romance. Zhou Ziwei couldn't quite understand why Dwight was so devoted to this woman. But despite his incomprehension, whenever he saw the woman's aloof and proud expression, Zhou Ziwei couldn't help but feel a tenderness welling up from the bottom of his heart.
Even though Susanna's face is now somewhat unconventional, it doesn't affect Zhou Ziwei's feelings for her at all.
What a devoted lover...
Zhou Ziwei had to express his highest respect to Mr. Dwight. Few people could maintain their sincerity and admiration when they saw a woman whose face was completely disfigured and who looked like a demon. No matter how good their feelings were before, they would feel a little resentment in this situation.
However, Zhou Ziwei felt absolutely nothing like that... Zhou Ziwei certainly understood why he was like this; it was all because of Dwight, the culprit...
Susanna seemed quite oblivious. Zhou Ziwei didn't care about her disfigured appearance, only feeling a little pity for her, while she herself... didn't take it seriously at all.
Or perhaps in her own mind, it doesn't matter what she looks like, or that if she becomes less attractive, fewer men will be constantly pestering her, which would make things much easier for her.
There is an old Chinese saying, "He who has no desires is invincible." These foreign women embody this spirit and character. Almost every woman loves beauty, and even the ugliest woman will unconsciously put on some foundation and lipstick when she goes out. Little do they know that such dressing up only makes their already stunning appearance even more frightening.
Susanna, on the other hand, remained completely calm. Perhaps she had a profound understanding, like a Buddhist sage, and realized that her beauty was nothing more than a stinking shell. Now that she had become ugly, it was just that the stinking shell had become even stinkier.
So fundamentally, Susanna wasn't very enthusiastic about Zhou Ziwei's offer to help her with plastic surgery. However... when she thought about the amazing scene of Zhou Ziwei repairing Jiang Chunshui's severed limb, she immediately became extremely enthusiastic.
In her view... Zhou Ziwei's move was a perfect compression and reproduction of cloning technology. However, she did not personally experience it at the time and did not know what it felt like to have her body's cells divide and regenerate at high speed in an instant. For her, a biology expert and an academic fanatic, it was an extremely valuable experience.
Therefore, when Zhou Ziwei offered to help her repair the scars on her face and body, she immediately agreed without hesitation.
Once all the materials Zhou Ziwei needed had been prepared with the help of the military's biological research lab, Zhou Ziwei was finally ready to perform a comprehensive cosmetic and body-shaping surgery on Susanna.
This was a true surgery, because Zhou Ziwei had to use his hands to complete the entire procedure. What else could it be but surgery?
Susanna had seventeen lacerations on her body, covering almost every corner of her body. These injuries were all very serious, with several large sections of muscle being torn off by those ugly crocodiles.
If Zhou Ziwei hadn't used his special ability to stop the bleeding and allow the skin of the wound to regenerate and heal automatically, Susanna would probably have died from blood loss long ago.
To help Susanna repair these wounds and scars, the only option is to reopen the already healed skin, inject new life into the tissue beneath, and provide sufficient nutrients so that the cells can divide and grow rapidly. Only in this way can the severely damaged organs be repaired.
This will undoubtedly be a very severe test, because in order to maintain the vitality of the cells so that they can divide and grow rapidly after being stimulated, anesthesia must never be used when cutting off a healed scab.
Susanna's seventeen scars cover almost her entire body, with a total skin damage area of an astonishing 65 percent.
This means that... Zhou Ziwei was going to peel off more than half of Susanna's skin while she was fully conscious, and all of this was done without anesthesia... Just thinking about it makes my scalp crawl...
Zhou Ziwei had initially thought that Susanna would disagree, but to his surprise, Susanna agreed without the slightest hesitation, which made Zhou Ziwei admire this woman's thick skin even more.
Compared to her, even Guan Yu's bone-scraping surgery was nothing.
The surgery was performed in the medical room of that military camp. The two pretty nurses in the medical room had been instructed by their superiors to fully cooperate with whatever the young comrade asked for. So when they heard that this little kid, who was not even as tall as a stool, actually wanted to have surgery performed in their room, the two nurses were so shocked that they almost dropped their pretty big eyes to their feet, but they still reluctantly agreed.
After thoroughly disinfecting the closed treatment room as Zhou Ziwei requested, Miss Susanna, who was completely naked, was also thoroughly disinfected from head to toe. Once it was confirmed that there were no living bacteria on her body, the naked disabled woman was pushed into the treatment room.
After disinfecting himself, Zhou Ziwei made his grand entrance, wearing a sterilized clean suit but with his hands bare. Before the two nurses who were about to go in to help could enter, he slammed the door shut from the inside and locked it.
The two nurses looked at each other and couldn't help but give each other a wry smile.
Is this little brat really going to do this?! He's so young, what does he know about medicine...? What if he accidentally kills that foreign woman...? Uh... that's ambiguous...
Susanna was completely naked, but she didn't seem shy at all when she appeared in front of Zhou Ziwei. This shows that the openness of Western women is really incomparable to that of Chinese women... However, when she found that Zhou Ziwei didn't let the two nurses into the treatment room and even locked the door tightly, she couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
In other people's eyes, Zhou Ziwei might just be a little kid, but Susanna naturally wouldn't think that way. Knowing Zhou Ziwei's background, few people would still treat such a powerful little kid as an ordinary child. Even if Zhou Ziwei is really only five or six years old, he is definitely the kind of person who is extremely precocious.
Moreover, Susanna had unintentionally witnessed Zhou Ziwei's genitals between his legs and reacted with extreme anger more than once.
He wouldn't be trying to take advantage of me... to do that, would he?
Susanna felt a pang of unease, but then she realized it was inappropriate for her to be so wary of a five or six-year-old child. But... otherwise, why wouldn't he let others in and why did he keep the door so tightly shut?
"Don't overthink it..." Zhou Ziwei seemed to see through Susanna's thoughts, snorted coldly, and said, "The reason I didn't let those two nurses come in to help is because my method can't be made public... Even if they see the miracle that happened to you afterward, as long as they don't see the process of the miracle being completed, it's fine. Otherwise... I think we'll all be in trouble later... Unless I kill the two nurses who helped me immediately after I heal you to silence them, I don't think you'd have that thought, right?"
"No, no, no..." Although Miss Susanna was a bit thick-skinned, she was not a vicious and bloodthirsty person. How could she bear to see two innocent girls being killed in front of her because of her? She immediately shook her head repeatedly.
Seeing that she seemed to have no further objections, Zhou Ziwei reached out a hand and pressed it on Susanna's left breast, which had been almost completely torn off, then gently stroked it from top to bottom...
"You...don't..." When Zhou Ziwei touched her like that, Susanna trembled slightly all over and subconsciously backed away, her eyes revealing a hint of fear and unease.
Zhou Ziwei rolled his eyes helplessly, then simply pushed the movable treatment bed in front of a large mirror on the left side of the treatment room. Pointing to Susanna's reflection in the mirror, he said, "Please... big sister... I admit, I'm not the five or six-year-old I appear to be. You probably already realized that... I'm actually an adult... OK, this is a big secret of mine. Please don't tell anyone once you see it."
As for me... I might not be a good man either, or in many women's eyes I might be a pretty lecherous little wolf. But... you should also consider your own situation, shouldn't you? Maybe after your injuries are completely healed, I might develop some impure thoughts towards you, but right now... with your rotten flesh like this, do you think I'd really want to touch you? Uh... even if you were willing, I'm afraid I'd have nightmares... so... please adjust your mindset first, cooperate with me properly, and wait until you become a stunning beauty again before you try to guard against me.”
Susanna was initially quite annoyed by Zhou Ziwei's words, but when she actually looked in the large mirror in the direction Zhou Ziwei pointed, she was immediately stunned.
Since her injury, she has never faced her own ugliness so directly. Although she knows that she is disfigured and no longer has her original stunning beauty, even though she doesn't care about her appearance, she still subconsciously doesn't want to face it. So she has never looked in the mirror.
And now... standing naked in front of a full-length mirror, she finally realized just how terrifying her current appearance was.
Ordinary women might be considered disfigured if they have a scar on their face or some unsightly burns on their body. But her face was disfigured far more completely. Her entire body was almost unrecognizable as human. There were two places on her thighs where the skin and flesh were torn off, almost exposing the bone. Not a single part of her body was intact. Two large chunks of flesh had been ripped off her face. Her once perfect face was now more terrifying than a skull. And the breast that Zhou Ziwei had just touched... its once full and high shape, as proud as Mount Everest, was now cut in half. Let alone touching it, just looking at it would make anyone feel nauseous for half a year.
Susanna had initially thought Zhou Ziwei's touch was an attempt to take advantage of her, but now... she completely believed Zhou Ziwei's words... That's right... Faced with her body so badly injured, even the most lustful person wouldn't feel any lust. Her guarding against him was really going too far.
"I'm sorry... I..." Susanna was truly shocked by the terrible state of her body, and after a long while, she couldn't help but stammer an apology in a low voice.
Zhou Ziwei smiled slightly and shook his head. Because of Dwight, Zhou Ziwei could not feel any ill will towards this woman, even though she looked three parts inhuman and seven parts like a ghost.
After carefully examining the most severely injured parts of Susanna's body, Zhou Ziwei roughly planned the order in which he would attack. In the end, he decided to start with Susanna's two thighs... and in the next moment, a gleaming, incredibly sharp knife appeared in Zhou Ziwei's hand. With just a light cut... he easily sliced open and tore off the already unhealed skin on Susanna's scarred thighs.
"Ah—" Susanna screamed in pain, gripping Zhou Ziwei's shoulders tightly with both hands, but Zhou Ziwei was not affected at all and still easily peeled off almost the entire skin off her leg.
Then Zhou Ziwei injected strands of pure soul power into the tender flesh exposed beneath the skin. The tender flesh immediately seemed to come alive, rapidly absorbing all the blood flowing out as the skin was peeled off, and the ruptured capillaries were instantly repaired.
Then Zhou Ziwei evenly applied the pre-prepared nutritional supplement, which he had personally mixed, to the tender meat, paying special attention to the areas where the muscle had been torn off by the crocodile, covering them with a thick layer...
Hmm... Although Susanna used to be considered a long-legged beauty, her legs were a bit too thin and bony, which detracted from her beauty. So... should I take this opportunity to redesign a pair of unparalleled beautiful legs for her?
Zhou Ziwei's heart skipped a beat, and he secretly summoned Xiao Xin: "Xiao Xin... help me design something based on Susanna's height proportions, and see what shape her legs should be to be the most perfect."
"Haha... Master, I actually already designed it for you a long time ago, and I even came up with more than one option. Well... you can choose for yourself!"
Xiaoxin's very human-like, slightly lewd laughter rang in Zhou Ziwei's mind, and then Zhou Ziwei felt clear images of beautiful legs flashing through his mind one by one.
These legs are truly unbeatable... Damn... I've never seen such a lecherous AI... It actually started designing these beautiful legs for its master without even using the master's commands.
Hmm... these are the ones, super sexy legs.
Zhou Ziwei originally wanted to ask Susanna for her opinion, but then he realized that there was no computer in the treatment room. Without a computer, Zhou Ziwei naturally couldn't have Xiao Xin show Susanna his human anatomy drawings.
Besides... anyway, a woman's appearance is ultimately for a man to appreciate, and because of Dwight, the man who appreciates her is destined to be himself... uh... or more precisely, his own alter ego. So... Zhou Ziwei decided to ignore Susanna's own thoughts and design his alter ego's lifelong sexual happiness entirely according to his own aesthetic views.
Time passed second by second. This time, Zhou Ziwei was extremely dedicated, much more so than when he helped Jiang Chunshui repair her severed limbs last time. Firstly, because the area of damage to Susanna's body was too large, and secondly, because Zhou Ziwei was preparing to personally create an invincible, sexy beauty.
As a result, this full-body cosmetic surgery lasted for nearly six hours before it finally ended.
A brand new beauty was finally born under Zhou Ziwei's hands.
Volume 3, King of the City, Chapter 578: Slaves
When Susanna woke up and bounced off the operating table, she could hardly believe her eyes!
Next to the operating table was a large floor-to-ceiling mirror. During the surgery, Zhou Ziwei had torn her body parts to shreds, leaving them a mangled mess. Even Susanna, a strong woman who often dissected small animals for her biological research, was shocked and terrified by the gruesome scenes. After glancing at them twice, she dared not look at her reflection in the mirror again.
Moreover, after Zhou Ziwei peeled off her skin several times in succession, the intense pain, which was not countered by any anesthesia, quickly overwhelmed her nerves, causing her to faint completely.
Because she didn't have a buffer period to accept the changes in her body, she was unable to accept it when she saw herself in the mirror again!
Beautiful! Absolutely stunning!
If Susanna could be considered a beauty in the past, she was at most a pretty girl with above-average looks. Although she was pleasing to the eye, she was definitely not the kind of stunning beauty that would amaze you at first glance.
But now... her appearance can't be described with ordinary words like stunning and beautiful. Her beauty is like a sacred halo, enveloping her entire body. It's breathtakingly beautiful, so beautiful that people dare not look directly at her.
Her entire body, from her mouth, nose, eyes, chest, thighs, and shoulders to even her toes, seemed to have been precisely designed and tailor-made. The proportions of her entire body were so perfect that they could be used as a benchmark for human body art. Even the so-called golden ratio could not compare to this; it was simply a platinum ratio, a diamond ratio!
Moreover, it was a quintessentially sexy beauty, yet within that sexiness lay a purity that ran deep. She was like perfectly ripe water, or a blooming lily. Her beauty would involuntarily stir in every man a deep-seated urge to admire her, yet also involuntarily evoke a sense of shame and inferiority.
Susanna stared wide-eyed and gaped, dumbfounded, at her reflection in the mirror, motionless for a long time.
