Chapter 73: 073 A plan within a plan! Unbelievably [1 more update]
Lin Weilan did not stop Ye Wanlan in any of her actions.
When Ye Wanlan was brought back by Lin Huaijin six years ago, Lin Weilan discerned something completely different in this girl, who was only twelve at the time.
Even though Lin Jiayan… at that time Lin Weilan indeed had plans to cultivate Ye Wanlan as the next inheritor.
But a sudden change four years ago made Lin Weilan realize that there were many supernatural things in this world that she had never come into contact with.
Facing the unknown, she dared not do anything for fear of triggering any worse outcomes, and could only observe.
Fortunately, there was a turning point, and Ye Wanlan came back.
She had not seen her granddaughter for four years, yet she could still feel that Ye Wanlan had become even more steady and mature than before, unflustered by the ups and downs.
She must have also gone through a lot of hardships.
Lin Weilan sighed, her gaze toward Ye Wanlan becoming even softer and more affectionate.
“Now that there’s no problem, what about the Curative Herb?” Mr. Luo looked impatiently at the time, “There are only three minutes left until the final deadline, and I still have a lot of things to do. I don’t have the time to waste here with you.”
“If there’s no problem, then we should sign the supplementary contract first,” Ye Wanlan lifted her hand and pressed down a document on the table, “Please, Mr. Luo.”
Mr. Luo’s brows furrowed as he vaguely sensed something amiss.
Could it be a trap for him?
He absolutely could not sign!
Mr. Luo’s gaze swept across the living room. Aside from Ye Wanlan and Lin Weilan, whose emotions appeared stable, the others, including Lin Woyu, could not hide their panic and anxiety.
This was not an act.
It seemed it was not a trap, just a last-ditch struggle.
“A supplementary contract, is it?” Mr. Luo’s mood suddenly relaxed, and he laughed, “Fine, if there’s nothing wrong with it, I’ll sign.”
He flipped through the contract while shaking his head.
Indeed, there was nothing wrong with the contract, and it posed no harm to him.
With his mind completely at ease, Mr. Luo graciously signed his name in the space for the party of the first part.
“The supplementary contract is signed, and the time has also arrived,” Mr. Luo knocked heavily on the table, “Where is the Curative Herb?”
Ye Wanlan remained composed, and she politely said to Lin Woyu, “Auntie, could you please bring the flowerpot from the kitchen here?”
“Ah? Okay.” Initially extremely anxious, Lin Woyu relaxed upon hearing Ye Wanlan’s request for help.
She quickly walked to the kitchen and picked up the flowerpot that Ye Wanlan had mentioned.
The flowerpot was covered with a black cover, which obscured whatever was growing inside.
Ye Wanlan took off the black cover, and a plant with faint blue light and lush greenery appeared before everyone.
At that moment, a light fragrance filled the air, and everyone felt an unprecedented comfort in their spirits, their pores dilated, and their minds felt refreshed.
The originally unconcerned Mr. Luo who was smiling, suddenly sprang to his feet upon seeing the plant, his smile freezing on his face.
His eyes widened enormously, his pupils filled with disbelief.
Curative Herb!
And it was of the highest grade!
The Curative Herb is one of the few rare medicinal plants that could not even be faked because one did not need to observe it closely or taste it; the reaction of one’s own body was enough to tell if it was genuine or not.
But this was impossible!
Mr. Luo’s face twisted as he extended his hand, wanting to touch the flowerpot.
“Mr. Luo, this Curative Herb is of excellent quality, valued in the eight figures. The purchasing party from Global Center is still waiting,” Ye Wanlan’s tone was gentle, “Don’t touch, be careful. If you touch it, you might lose more than just money.”
“What eight figures? Yours is fake!” Mr. Luo could not hide his agitation, and he shouted uncontrollably, “How could you possibly have the Curative Herb? Absolutely impossible!”
“So certain we couldn’t have the Curative Herb because you’ve cut off all the Lin Family’s channels for acquiring it?” Ye Wanlan said casually, “And because someone is helping you, trying to force my grandmother to return to the Lin Family Main House? But how can you be so sure?”

With just a few words, Mr. Luo’s psychological defenses collapsed.
He had indeed used this as his basis for judgment, along with Madam Lin’s request.
The situation should have been under his control, but when had such a serious issue arisen?!
“The deal is settled.” Ye Wanlan looked up and said lightly, “You’ll pay ninety million, give us the purchasing party’s contact information from Global Center, and we will personally deliver the Curative Herb.”
Sweating profusely with anxiety, Mr. Luo had no idea what to do: “Impossible, don’t even think about it!”
He had failed to force Lin Weilan to return to the Lin Family as that person had demanded and now he had to provide them with an opportunity to deal with Global Center?
“It appears Mr. Luo is still committing commercial fraud.” Ye Wanlan nodded, “Auntie, let’s call the police.”
Located at the very center of the confrontation, Lin Woyu was somewhat dizzy, but she still took out her cell phone and dialed 110.
“Don’t call the police!” Mr. Luo was both shocked and furious, “You want to call the police over such a trivial matter?”
Ye Wanlan smiled slightly, “After all, I’m just a child, and I can only arm myself with the legal knowledge I learn in class.”
“Fine, I admit defeat.” Mr. Luo’s voice came through gritted teeth, “I underestimated you, you really are amazing!”
A clever move may lead to the accomplishment of much.
From Lin Weilan’s branch, such an impressive descendant had indeed emerged.
He must report this to the Lin Family Main House immediately!
Ye Wanlan’s expression showed no fluctuation. “Hmm, transfer the money first.”
Mr. Luo, enduring the pain of his loss, took out a check. “I’m taking the Curative Herb with me.”
“What is Mr. Luo talking about? The contract clearly states that we will deal directly with the supplier of the Global Center,” said Ye Wanlan calmly. “You can leave now.”
“You—!” Mr. Luo hadn’t expected Ye Wanlan to set a trap for him here, and he glared at her furiously.
Ye Wanlan looked on indifferently. “Auntie, let’s just call the police.”
“Enough!” Mr. Luo ground his teeth. “I’m leaving, and I’ll remember this!”
He stormed out, shaking with rage.
Ninety million!
He didn’t even get the chance to touch the Curative Herb.
Today, he truly understood what it meant to lose both his wife and his soldiers.
Inside the living room, Lin Qingwen and Madam Lin were still in shock.
Lin Huaijin’s mouth hung open as his perception of Ye Wanlan was severely challenged.
Was this his sweet, sensible, and vulnerable niece?
“Mom, why didn’t you say anything to me? You scared me to death.” Lin Woyu complained. “I’ve been on tenterhooks these past few days, my heart constantly in my throat.”
Lin Weilan smiled and patted her back. “You can’t keep a secret, so we definitely couldn’t tell you. As for Huaijin, that goes without saying—with everything written all over his face.”
Lin Huaijin: “…”
He felt like he’d been shot out of the blue. It hurt.
Lin Qingwen and Madam Lin were tactful enough not to say anything.
Especially Madam Lin, whose complexion was even worse. She tiptoed, ready to go upstairs.
“Madam Lin.” Just then, from behind her, Ye Wanlan’s voice rang out coolly, “Do you know why I didn’t stop you from telling him that we couldn’t find the Curative Herb and were thus anxious and in pain?”
Madam Lin spun around hastily: “What nonsense are you talking about? When did I tell him anything?”
She tried to cover her panic with loudness, but her body shook even more violently.
Her statement changed Lin Woyu’s expression; she lowered her voice, “Sister-in-law, did you go to them and betray the Lin Family?”
“Lin Woyu, don’t listen to this girl’s nonsense,” retorted Madam Lin in extreme mortification, her voice fierce but lackluster. “I am part of the Lin Family; how could I betray it?”
“Because only if you went to him and showed signs of impatience would he believe even more that the Lin Family truly didn’t have the Curative Herb,” Ye Wanlan raised her eyebrows and smiled lightly. “The Lin Family owes you a debt of gratitude for this compensation.”
As if a thunderbolt exploded beside her, Madam Lin’s ears rang with deafening noise, and her mind went blank.
Ye Wanlan had anticipated her move?
But how exactly did she guess it?
Lin Woyu pressed on, “Sister-in-law, you speak of advancing and retreating with the Lin Family, yet behind our backs, you betray us. What are you trying to do?”
“I, I, I…” Madam Lin stammered, unable to utter a complete sentence.
Lin Weilan spoke coldly, “Go back to your confinement.”
Just returned and now caught up in the situation, Lin Yue and Lin Qin were somewhat bewildered.
“Grandma, go rest,” Ye Wanlan said. “Uncle, Wenli, let’s also go back.”
“Ah? Oh, oh.” Still confused, Lin Huaijin followed Ye Wanlan out of the house.
Lin Qin turned to ask, “Mom, what happened?”
“Today, we really have to thank our cousin; if it weren’t for her, we all would have had to move out of the old house,” Lin Woyu tapped her chest. “I didn’t expect her to confound them with just a few words and even secure us a large sum of money.”
Ninety million in liquid assets was not a small amount, even for the Five Great Families of Jiangcheng.
Lin Yue snorted, “Mom, do you need to think so highly of her? A few words – that’s just sweet talk. She’s best at bewildering people.”
Otherwise, why would she have run to be a body double, harboring the idea to replace the original, Sheng Yunyi?
“Lin Yue!” Lin Woyu scolded him exceptionally sternly, “I don’t ever want to hear such words from your mouth again, or you know the consequences!”
Lin Yue became even angrier, “Mom, you’re biased! I’m going to tell Dad!”
“That’s fine,” Lin Woyu surprisingly didn’t object. “Go and stay with him for a while.”
Lin Yue’s eyes lit up, “Mom, you said it yourself, you can’t back out.”
His father wasn’t as strict with him as his mother, which meant he could now legitimately go out racing.
Who knows, he might even meet that mysterious “Blade Overtake” woman?
Lin Woyu ignored him, “Qinqin, let’s go upstairs for your piano practice.”
“Coming, Mom,” Lin Qin abruptly snapped out of her trance and hurried after Lin Woyu’s footsteps.
On the way home.
Ye Wanlan received a message.
[Professor Yuwen]: My business trip has ended early. I’ll arrive in Jiangcheng by plane tomorrow. You’re at Jiangcheng No.7 Middle School, right? Excellent. I’ll come to find you directly.
He couldn’t wait to know what could scare him so much.
