Chapter 6

Outside the Su family villa, as soon as Lu Linglong revealed her identity, someone immediately ushered them inside.

Although the Su family villa was not as luxurious as the Lu family's, the interior was still quite lavish.

Just as the two entered the house, Su Jun gong, the head of the Su family, came out smiling.

"Miss Lu, what wind blows you here?"

Lu Linglong got straight to the point.

"I'm here to take back the ginseng that my second uncle sold to you!"

The smile on Su Jun gong's face vanished all of a sudden.

"Miss Lu, your family also started in business; you should know that once something is sold, there's no reason to take it back!"

Lu Linglong took out a card and placed it on the table.

"There are 5.5 million in the card; is that enough?"

Seeing Lu Linglong produce the bank card, Su Jun gong's eyes shifted.

"It seems Miss Lu is quite eager; I'll go ask my father."

After Su Jun gong went upstairs, Lin Yang spoke up.

"You're being too eager; that old fox will surely demand a lion's share later!"

Hearing that, Lu Linglong frowned and said.

"No way; does the Su family dare to be an enemy of my Lu family?"

Lin Yang laughed: "The news of your grandfather's recovery hasn't been announced yet, so these people are naturally probing; just watch."

Not long after, Su Jun gong came down supporting an elderly person.

The old man wore a greenish long robe, his face covered with age spots, yet his complexion was very ruddy.

With Su Jun gong's support, he walked to the living-room sofa and sat down.

After the old man sat down, he turned his gaze to Lu Linglong and smiled.

"Linglong, I heard you want to buy back the ginseng?"

Lu Linglong nodded: "That was sold by my second uncle behind my grandfather's back."

Su Qingguo chuckled: "What a coincidence; I've already used half of that ginseng."

Lu Linglong glanced at Lin Yang; seeing he said nothing, she continued.

"Half is fine; just pay half the price and return the ginseng to me!"

Hearing that, the Su father and son exchanged a glance and both smiled.

Seeing how urgent Lu Linglong was, they thought Lu Yong'an was on his last legs and needed the ginseng to prolong his life.

At that moment, Su Jun gong chuckled and spoke.

"Linglong, my father has great use for that ginseng; if you want to buy it back, you'll have to add money—15 million will do."

"You..."

Lu Linglong's pretty face flushed red with anger.

Lin Yang took her hand, smiled and shook his head at her, then spoke softly.

"Old Master Su, you've clearly just recovered from a serious illness, yet your face is glowing; without a doubt, you've taken some potent tonic."

Upon hearing that, Su Qingguo nodded and said.

"You've studied medicine too?"

Lin Yang gave a light smile: "I know a little; I can spot some problems."

"For example, you were treated with acupuncture, then took a strong tonic; now you feel strong all over, but your body won't obey."

"Even walking requires support, and at night you break out in a cold sweat all over."

Hearing that, Su Qingguo's face changed dramatically.

"How do you know?"

"I not only know these things; I also know that if you have taken century-old ginseng within the past three days, then within three days the whole Su family will be in mourning."

Those words caused the Su father and son's faces to change.

Su Jun gong even pointed at Lin Yang and shouted angrily.

"How dare you scare my father!"

"Scare him? Then ask me which part of what I just said is wrong."

Seeing his son look over, Su Qingguo fell silent for a moment, then spoke to Lin Yang.

"What if I haven't eaten ginseng?"

Under Su Qingguo's gaze, Lin Yang said.

"Soon—perhaps midnight; at worst, a month."

Su Qingguo instantly turned deathly pale from fright; facing death, he too was afraid.

"Do you have a way to save my father!"

Su Jun gong looked at Lin Yang with a tense expression.

Lin Yang gave a slight smile, looking at Su Qingguo.

"He's taken ginseng; even immortals would struggle to save him."

Su Qingguo is no fool; he immediately shouted.

"Quickly go fetch the ginseng and return it to Miss Lu!"

Not long after, someone came forward holding an exquisite wooden box before Lu Linglong.

As soon as Lu Linglong opened it, a fragrant scent wafted out.

"Linglong, keep it safe; it's an intact century-old ginseng."

Then, Lin Yang picked up the bank card on the coffee table and played with it.

But I don't have 15 million.

Su Jun gong gave an embarrassed smile and said, "I was just joking with Miss Lu earlier; how could I really ask for money?"

Looking at Su Jun gong's fawning expression at this moment, Lu Linglong turned her head to look at Lin Yang, her eyes filled with some admiration.

Just a few words made the just-arrogant and high-and-mighty Su Jun gong lower his head.

Su Qingguo spoke up at this moment, asking cautiously.

"Sir, how do I treat this illness..."

Lin Yang had not yet spoken when a familiar voice sounded.

"Dad, I'm back."

Su Cheng, who had just returned from the company, as soon as he entered the living room, saw Lin Yang sitting there.

"How is it you?"

Lin Yang also smiled and said, "Young Master Su, what a coincidence."

Upon hearing this, Su Cheng flew into a rage.

"You're not even worthy of being in my Su family—get out now!"

Seeing his son's agitated appearance, Su Jun gong scolded.

"Cheng'er, you are not allowed to be rude to this gentleman!"

Upon hearing this, Su Cheng immediately shouted.

"Dad, what gentleman? He's Lin Yang, Lin Tiannan's son—just a stray dog!"

He glared at Lin Yang fiercely.

"Yuan Shu already told me: six years ago you left the southwest like a stray dog, and your sister also became mentally ill!"

"You and your sister rely on others to support you, and you're playing dumb in my house!"

Upon hearing this, Su Jun gong furrowed his brows and looked at Lin Yang.

"Is what Cheng'er said really true?"

Lin Yang nodded without hesitation.

"I am Lin Yang."

Upon hearing this, Su Jun gong's face kept changing.

He also knows a bit about the Lin family's affairs, but Lin Yang also got his father's condition right.

For a moment, he didn't know whether to drive Lin Yang away or keep him.

Seeing his father still hesitating, Su Cheng shouted.

"Dad, hurry up and get someone to drive him out!"

Su Jun gong said with some difficulty, "But your grandfather's illness..."

"My grandfather's illness is cured, don't you still believe Master Yang?"

"But he said your grandfather won't live past a month."

Seeing his father's hesitation, Su Cheng became anxious and shouted.

"He's just a liar!"

He looked at Lin Yang and said viciously.

"I don't know what method you used to bluff my father, but I'll call Master Yang right now to expose you as a fraud!"

Then, he hastily dialed a phone number.

After hanging up the phone, Su Cheng looked at Lin Yang smugly.

"Lin Yang, someone will soon come to expose your scam—just wait!"

At this moment, Su Qingguo also spoke, his tone lacking the earlier respect.

"Lin Yang, you are not allowed to leave before Master Yang arrives; as for Miss Lu, you may do as you please."

Seeing their change in attitude, Lu Linglong let out a cold laugh.

"You'll regret it later!"

Upon hearing that, Su Cheng thought, "This guy Lin Yang even deceived Lu Linglong and the others; it seems he's preparing to go to the Lu family as a kept man."

Once I expose him later, I will surely make all his plans come to nothing!
