Big Shot's Reincarnation Sweeps the World Chapter 1118 - Loving Husband Mode Activated
1118 Loving Husband Mode Activated
Zhou Rusheng scrutinized the man with great care.
It was his first encounter with someone so utterly devoid of fear. However, he sensed that the speaker possessed the aura of one who had held a position of supreme power for many years.
Because of this, he did not immediately snap back.
Still reeling from the shock, Zhou Feiyang could hardly contain herself. She was well aware that Dean Zhou had been evaluating both her and Sheng Yang. While their abilities were nearly equal, she never imagined the Dean would make such a monumental declaration so carelessly on an occasion like this!
Despite her own strength being slightly inferior to Sheng Yang’s, Sheng Yang was a magnet for trouble. She lacked the obedience and common sense that Zhou Feiyang possessed.
How could Dean Zhou reach such a reckless conclusion in front of everyone?!
“Dean Zhou, I urge you to reconsider.”
“This is a significant matter. We must deliberate on this at length.”
Though the crowd attempted to sway him, Zhou Rusheng remained obstinate. He kept his eyes fixed on Sheng Yang while simultaneously evaluating Yu Chi. His hand rose to his chin, stroking it thoughtfully. The more he pondered the situation, the more he felt something was amiss.
As the two parties stood in a tense standoff, a voice suddenly broke the silence.
It was Sheng Yang. Looking directly at Dean Zhou, she stated with composure, “I want this child.”
The entire room was stunned by her words.
Sheng Yang cast her gaze downward. “If this is unacceptable to you, I will resign from the research institute.”
She had no patience for threats. Furthermore, she had already gained sufficient knowledge about the institute's inner workings.
The role of Dean had never appealed to her. Taking the position would only result in a mountain of administrative headaches that would stall her scientific breakthroughs.
Yu Chi was practically beaming with delight. He stepped toward Zhou Rusheng, who was still eyeing him with a look of confusion. Placing a heavy, celebratory hand on the Dean’s shoulder, he patted him and gave a proud smirk. “You’ve done well, Little Zhou.”
Only moments ago, he had wanted to skin Zhou Rusheng alive. Now, he was in high spirits. Since Zhou Rusheng had inadvertently helped his cause, he decided to let the past go.
Yu Chi—who was actually Yi Juncheng—was aware that Yangyang had been hesitant at first. He hadn't expected Dean Zhou to provide the final push.
Clearly, Zhou Rusheng still did not understand Yangyang’s true temperament.
“How dare you!” A senior member of the research institute shouted, unable to restrain his anger. “Yu Chi, who do you think you are? Do you believe your talent gives you the right to behave this way? Your credentials are nowhere near sufficient!”
Yu Chi met his gaze with a freezing stare. “And who exactly are you?”
“…”
Had this fellow named Yu lost his mind?
Did he truly believe that Sheng Yang’s protection made him untouchable?
Even if Sheng Yang were the designated successor for the Dean’s seat, she had no authority to address the elders this way—especially after she had just turned down the position.
“Oh, I nearly forgot.” Yu Chi rubbed his nose and retreated into an inner chamber. Moments later, a figure emerged with a calm, steady gait.
The room fell into a stunned silence. Even those who usually remained composed retreated a few steps in sheer terror.
Only Zhou Rusheng wore a look of complex realization, while Lan Yu could only manage a helpless, knowing smile.
It was just as they suspected.
Yi Juncheng stood before them, his peach blossom eyes radiating their usual lethal charm. He walked forward and took hold of Sheng Yang’s slender wrist. “Yangyang, it’s time to go.”
The crowd watched in silence as the pair departed, and it took several minutes before the room erupted into a frenzy of whispers.
“He’s actually alive?”
“Can the Hall of One Man’s Rule actually bring back the dead?”
“Everyone in the institute saw it that day. It was definitely the Hall Master’s body. I never suspected he had been hiding right under our noses this whole time.”
“What does he take our research institute for? A mere plaything?”
Their suspicions were correct.
In this world, aside from Sheng Yang—who was Yi Juncheng’s most precious treasure—everyone else was nothing more than a pawn on his board, a toy for his amusement.
