Chapter 2299: Chapter 2299: Customized Lover (34)

The mysterious disappearance of President Li of Hengrui Technology has drawn attention from all circles.

No one knows how Li Sheng disappeared.

According to the employees’ statements, it was only about a minute before and after he vanished. They watched Li Sheng walk into his office, and then there was a huge bang.

And then the person was just gone.

They searched for days, but found no trace of Li Sheng.

At first everyone thought it was done by Li Sheng’s enemies, but after checking thoroughly, no one was suspicious.

With such a bizarre disappearance, people started guessing in all kinds of unreliable directions.

Like alien abduction or something.

With Li Sheng missing, Hengrun Technology was bound to be affected. A strange atmosphere permeated every level of Hengrun Technology.

"How do you think that Li Sheng disappeared?" Fong Wuye walked Chuzheng toward the lab, very curious about the mystery of Li Sheng’s disappearance.

"How would I know." Chuzheng’s face was expressionless.

"Wasn’t he scheming against you before? Don’t you want to know where he went?"

"No." Chuzheng’s face was cold.

"..." Fong Wuye clicked his tongue, muttered a couple of sentences under his breath, and changed the subject: "What do you want the lab for?"

"Got something to do."

Since Chuzheng wouldn’t say, Fong Wuye didn’t press: "Are you sure you can handle it yourself?"

"Of course."

The lab was all machine-controlled anyway, nothing difficult about that.

Fong Wuye quickly cleared out a lab for Chuzheng. After she went in, she shut down all the surveillance.

Fong Wuye sighed. The kid’s grown up; she’s got privacy now.

About two hours later, Fong Wuye received a message from Chuzheng asking him to call Fong Yan over.

"Why did you call me over?" Fong Yan was insanely busy and squeezed out some time to rush over.

"Not me, it’s your girl." Fong Wuye sighed.

"Which girl of mine?"

"Who else." This father, very unhappy, pointed at the lab door: "She wants you to go in."

Fong Yan reacted, pushed open the lab door, and walked inside.

"..."

In the room, the first thing Fong Yan saw was a pile of parts.

"What are you doing?" How did she end up taking herself apart like this! Has she lost it?

"Help me put it back on." Chuzheng’s voice came from a nearby computer.

"Me?"

"Mm."

Fong Yan’s brow twitched violently: "I don’t know how, I’ll get Fong Wuye..."

There was no way Chuzheng would agree: "No. You want other people seeing my body?"

Just now Fong Yan didn’t feel anything about it. After all, she was just a robot, and her body was built by Fong Wuye... but for some reason, the moment Chuzheng said that, he suddenly felt a bit unable to accept it.

"But I really don’t know how."

"It’s fine. Just do as I say."

"..."

What else could Fong Yan do?

He couldn’t call Fong Wuye in to help, so he could only follow Chuzheng’s instructions and reassemble her body himself.

"Stop!"

Chuzheng suddenly called out for him to stop, and Fong Yan frowned: "What now?"

"Don’t install the one in your hand."

Fong Yan looked down at what he was holding: a small component, not very big, with a translucent glassy texture. He’d already installed quite a few of these just now, scattered throughout different parts of her body.

"Why not?"

"Ask Fong Wuye if he has any more of the same kind as a replacement."

"..."

Fong Yan could only go out to find Fong Wuye.

"No, I only had that little bit of material, and I used it all on my daughter." Fong Wuye said, "You know what this thing... Bro, have you actually done that with her or not?"

"???"

"She’s a companion robot, you’ve never used her even once?"

"..." Fong Yan shook his head.

"!!!" Fong Wuye freaked out on his own, then suddenly looked up: "Wait, why are you asking?"

"She won’t let me install this." Fong Yan said. "She asked if you had a replacement."

"Won’t let you?? Why?"

"..." How would he know!

If she says no, then it’s no!

Fong Wuye didn’t have extras. The raw material was just that tiny bit, and he’d already used it all up.

"It’s fine, this thing just controls sensitivity and temperature in the body. Didn’t you notice her body temperature is almost exactly the same as a human’s?"

"Isn’t that tech already mainstream?" There are lots of companion robots on the market. If they can’t even do that, they wouldn’t dare sell them.

"Hmph, it’s not the same. Ugh, I can’t explain it to you clearly. Use her and you’ll know." Fong Wuye waved his hand. "Missing one doesn’t matter."

Fong Yan’s eyes were cool: "She’s not a ’thing’. Watch your wording."

"Right, right, right, the kid now is a kid with thoughts, not your average robot. My bad." Fong Wuye nodded repeatedly.

Fong Yan went back to the lab and told Chuzheng that there weren’t any more.

Since Fong Wuye said it wouldn’t affect anything, in the end they left it out.

-

Once Chuzheng was back to normal, she and Fong Yan came out of the lab. Fong Wuye looked her up and down, but couldn’t see anything wrong.

"Little Cutie, what did you do?"

Chuzheng replied seriously: "Let him get a thorough understanding of my body."

Fong Wuye: "!!!"

Fong Yan: "..."

If he didn’t know she’d taken herself apart in there, he’d think you two were doing something else!

"We’re leaving." Fong Yan didn’t want to stay. In another minute, Fong Wuye would definitely start spouting all sorts of nonsense.

-

Fong Yan really couldn’t figure out why Chuzheng did all that. On the way back he wanted to ask, but didn’t know how to bring it up.

"Keep this safe and carry it with you at all times." Just as Fong Yan was struggling with it, Chuzheng placed the piece she’d taken out into his hand.

"Why?"

Because Ruan Liang wants you to carry it!

Of course she didn’t say that. He didn’t even know who Ruan Liang was, and if she said it, it would definitely lead to a whole bunch of questions.

So Chuzheng righteously said, "It’s my stuff. Isn’t it your job to keep it safe?"

"..."

Fong Yan realized there was absolutely nothing he could do with her.

Some inexplicable emotion made him care about her very much, about every word she said and every thing she did.

Fong Yan silently put the piece away. In the end, afterward, he really did carry it on him every day.

At night, Chuzheng walked into Fong Yan’s room hugging a pillow.

Fong Yan had just changed into his pajamas: "What are you doing?"

Chuzheng pointed at the bed.

"...You have your own room. Why do you have to sleep in mine?" Who is this torturing!

"Sleeping with you is my duty." Chuzheng said very seriously, "I’m a good person. I take my duties seriously."

"..." You’re not even a person.

Fong Yan knew that even if he didn’t let her in now, she’d still come over on her own in the middle of the night.

Lock the door?

You think a door can lock her out?

Fong Yan, resigned, let her in: "Don’t do anything weird."

"What counts as something weird?"

"..." Fong Yan suddenly didn’t quite know how to explain. "Forget it, just sleep."

Fong Yan turned off the lights to sleep.

Chuzheng scooted into his bed. Fong Yan held back for a while, then finally pulled her into his arms: "Like this. Don’t move around anymore."
