Chapter 101: A Match Made in Heaven

~8 min read 1,416 words

"I know now. I have to make a few phone calls. It seems they intend to take action during the Jiawu year two years from now. Do these Japanese people think it's still a hundred years ago?"

Just as Wu Shuping was about to leave to make phone calls, Wang Haicheng, who had been recuperating at Zhongcaotang, appeared at the entrance of the living room. He said cautiously: "I also know about this matter. The Wang family of Qincheng is also involved; they call it the 'Stealing Heaven Project'."

Lin Yu introduced Wang Haicheng upon seeing him, but before he could finish, Zhou Yuanli took over the topic: "Wang Haicheng and I are old friends."

Wang Haicheng recalled the information about the 'Stealing Heaven Project' he had inadvertently discovered a few years ago, revealing that this was a conspiracy jointly planned by the Chrysanthemum Society, Tongtian Pavilion, and a mysterious force within the country.

At first, he didn't believe it, until he personally verified that the projects in the data truly existed, and only then was he convinced.

He also mentioned that the car accident of Grand Elder Ma and the illness of Zhou Yuanli's wife were both part of this conspiracy, pointing out that Miao Street in Huacheng, as the last project, should have actually been implemented two years ago.

An unexpected car accident in the provincial capital caused a key figure to pass away unfortunately, and this event directly caused an important project to stall for two full years.

It was for this reason that two years later, the CEO of Hanfang Pharmaceutical, Tamamo Emi, personally went to Huacheng to negotiate cooperation matters with the Zhang Group.

Through a series of clues, including Grand Elder Ma's car accident two years ago, the strange illness of Zhou Yuanli's wife, and the recent kidnapping of Zhou Min, Wang Haicheng connected these seemingly unrelated points, and everything behind this was the result of manipulation by Hanfang Pharmaceutical.

After learning the truth, Zhou Yuanli sincerely extended an invitation to Wang Haicheng: "Haicheng, are you interested in coming to work as a consultant for me?"

Wang Haicheng, who had been worrying about not having a suitable opportunity to make a comeback, happily accepted this proposal.

At the same time, Jiang Yicheng also requested that Wang Haicheng concurrently serve as the legal consultant for the City Lord Mansion, hoping to use his professional knowledge to deal with the threat brought by Hanfang Pharmaceutical.

Facing the trust and support of his friends, Wang Haicheng promised to do his best to help them and expressed deep gratitude to his life-saving benefactor, Lin Yu, saying that he would definitely repay him in the future.

At the time of parting, Lin Yu also specifically urged Wang Haicheng to pay attention to maintaining his health, avoid smoking and drinking, and ensure a long and healthy life.

As everyone left one after another, Lin Yu met his Third Aunt, Wu Shuping, who had hurried back. She informed Lin Yu that she had notified others in the Profound Sect to handle related matters and that she herself was about to go out to meet a few old friends.

When only Lin Yu and Zhuo Feng were left in the shop, the two began to discuss the injury on Zhuo Feng's hand.

Although the wound was shocking, seeing Zhuo Feng's smile, Lin Yu felt very relieved.

And Zhuo Feng joked that the people Lin Yu was associating with now were either Prefects or City Lords, and the atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant.

"Hiss... this really hurts." Zhuo Feng endured the pain and dealt with his injured hand. He picked up the bandage on the table and muttered while bandaging:

"My cousin, in order to obtain the boxing manual for 'Half-Step Crushing Fist,' lost his sense of pain, and his other senses also became dull. Otherwise, with his little ability, how could he be my opponent."

Zhuo Feng continued to explain the impact of losing the sense of pain on all aspects of the body. Although it was not enough to lose his way, as a master of the Half-Step Crushing Fist, this change indeed brought him quite a lot of trouble.

Lin Yu noticed the injury on Zhuo Feng's hand and ordered: "Take off the gauze."

Zhuo Feng was stunned for a moment, and after doing so, the wound was revealed.

Lin Yu found a glass bottle containing black powder on the table and poured the powder onto Zhuo Feng's hand.

"This is cockroach powder, a miraculous medicine for treating external injuries. After using it, it will recover by more than half tomorrow," Lin Yu said while re-bandaging the wound for Zhuo Feng.

At this time, Xiao Chengzhou brought a young woman in and bowed to Lin Yu: "Pavilion Master, I have brought my granddaughter."

Xiao Shiran walked in timidly and greeted softly: "Xiao Shiran greets Pavilion Master Lin."

Lin Yu frowned and asked Xiao Chengzhou: "Old Xiao, how many granddaughters do you have?" Xiao Chengzhou replied with a bitter smile: "When the car accident took the lives of my son and daughter-in-law, my granddaughter was only three years old..."

Lin Yu nodded to show understanding, and the following sentence shocked everyone present: "If she is your granddaughter, I can responsibly say that she is not sick."

Xiao Chengzhou was puzzled: "Not sick? But Director Xie diagnosed that my granddaughter has a brain tumor and needs long-term medication..."

Lin Yu interrupted him: "Is it Xie Wendong?" After receiving an affirmative answer, Lin Yu checked the medicine and found that the so-called special medicine was just flour.

After learning the truth, Xiao Chengzhou was furious, while Xiao Shiran was full of questions: "Then why do I have headaches, and why do I feel much better after taking the medicine?"

After a careful examination, Lin Yu explained: "Your headache is due to neurasthenia, which can be relieved through acupuncture. Go home and rest well, and adjust your work and rest schedule, and it will improve."

Just as Lin Yu finished speaking, a few shiny silver needles had already landed lightly on Xiao Shiran's head. Looking at this scene, the anger in Xiao Chengzhou's heart was hard to suppress.

As the former Thief King of the Rong Sect, he had actually been deceived by a so-called doctor for several years, wasting tens of millions in vain.

"Pavilion Master, I'll leave for a while; I'll entrust my granddaughter to you for the time being," Xiao Chengzhou said, suppressing his anger, and turned to leave after speaking.

Lin Yu wanted to keep him, but Xiao Chengzhou had already left resolutely.

"Brother, do I really not have brain cancer?" Xiao Shiran still couldn't believe the fact that she wasn't sick.

Years of misdiagnosis made it difficult for her to accept this good news for a while.

"Yes, you really don't." Lin Yu adjusted the silver needles while worrying about Xiao Chengzhou's whereabouts in his heart.

At this time, Zhuo Feng approached with a look of infatuation and asked jokingly: "Little beauty, do you have a boyfriend?"

Xiao Shiran lowered her head shyly and replied softly: "No."

Zhuo Feng excitedly took out his phone: "Then can I add your WeChat?"

Lin Yu looked at Zhuo Feng helplessly and teased: "Are you sure you want to do this? Her grandfather is the Thief King of the Rong Sect, you know."

However, Zhuo Feng was completely attracted by Xiao Shiran's charm and said without caring: "As long as she is alive, I'm not afraid."

This sentence made Xiao Shiran laugh, and Lin Yu noticed that Xiao Shiran also seemed to have a good impression of Zhuo Feng.

However, a look of worry soon appeared on her face again: "Actually, I have a job that I have been hiding from my grandfather."

Zhuo Feng asked curiously: "What kind of job is it?"

Xiao Shiran said somewhat shyly and worriedly: "I am an embalmer; I put makeup on the deceased."

Hearing this, Lin Yu and Zhuo Feng were both stunned.

Seeing this, Xiao Shiran said disappointedly: "It seems you also mind my job, right?"

"No, not at all. You are an embalmer?" Zhuo Feng said pleasantly surprised. He drove a hearse at the crematorium and usually found it very difficult to find a girlfriend.

He didn't expect Xiao Shiran to be a peer; this was simply a match made in heaven.

However, Lin Yu frowned and asked with confusion: "Why did you choose this profession?" ===== CHAPTER 102 =====
