Power and wealth bring fragrance

Chapter 54 A face covered in cream cake

The love of the parents is far-reaching.

The grandfather treats his granddaughter the same way.

They said Wei Yuan was a good person and frankly told him about the gold mine, making it seem as if Grandpa Lin trusted Wei Yuan a lot.

But Wei Yuan didn't believe it.

Even a fool wouldn't readily trust someone he'd just met, even if that person had just saved him. He might be grateful, but he would never entrust his family with such a person's care.

Grandpa Lin said that, in the end, there was no other way.

He knew he was dying, but his granddaughter was still too young and needed someone to take care of her.

Wei Yuan had clearly seen through the truth about the gold ore and came to the door wanting a result.

Grandpa Lin didn't dare gamble on whether Wei Yuan would really attack him if he didn't tell.

Money can be a powerful motivator; at his age, he's seen far too many people tear each other apart over money.

Even brothers can fight each other over tens of thousands of yuan, let alone strangers, especially when it involves huge profits like a gold mine.

Therefore, after weighing the options, Grandpa Lin reluctantly made this choice.

He offered to reveal clues about the gold mine in exchange for his granddaughter being cared for and raised.

This is actually a gamble on Wei Yuan's character. After all, if Wei Yuan gets the clues but chooses not to take care of Lin Wanxing, he can't blame Wei Yuan.

After all, he was already dead by then.

Wei Yuan savored the bitter decision he had been forced into by being cornered and had no choice but to gamble, and his mood became somewhat heavy.

If he hadn't received the transmission of the Divine Interpretation, would he have ended up in the same situation?

Seeing that Wei Yuan remained silent, Grandpa Lin assumed he was dissatisfied. A trace of sadness flashed in his eyes, and he took the initiative to change his words.

"If you find it too much trouble, you can just give her some money."

"Not much, just 100,000, that's enough for her to support herself after graduating from university..."

Wei Yuan raised his hand to stop Grandpa Lin from speaking and said softly.

"Old man, there's no need to say more."

"Let's not beat around the bush, I really do want to know the whereabouts of the gold mine."

"It's my luck that you're willing to tell me."

"As for Wanxing, there's no need to mention taking care of her anymore."

"I will adopt her as my sister, and I will leave her 20% of the gold mine."

"After all, there would be no gold mine without you. Consider this 20% as my dowry for her as her older brother."

What God does not take, is to be blamed.

Wei Yuan wasn't pretentious; he was after the gold mine and wouldn't hypocritically say he didn't want it.

Now that Grandpa Lin was willing to tell him that the only price was asking him to help take care of his granddaughter, what else could Wei Yuan say but agree immediately?

Seeing how open and honest Wei Yuan was, Grandpa Lin felt relieved and excitedly grasped Wei Yuan's hand.

"That would be too much trouble... I'm sorry to trouble you... cough cough..."

Grandpa Lin couldn't help but cough, and Wei Yuan quickly helped him lie down. Soon, Grandpa Lin fell into a deep sleep.

Wei Yuan didn't linger and left the ward directly.

He had just come out when he saw Lin Wanxing standing by the ward, frantically wiping her eyes.

Wei Yuan pretended not to see her red and swollen eyes, and nodded to her with a smile.

"Take good care of your grandfather. If anything happens, you can call me or Sister Chu."

Wei Yuan gently patted Lin Wanxing's shoulder and left.

Lin Wanxing stared at Wei Yuan's retreating figure with a complex expression.

Gratitude, admiration, awe, inferiority...

A variety of emotions, too numerous to mention.

Lin Wanxing only entered the ward after watching Wei Yuan go downstairs.

Wei Yuan went downstairs and took a taxi directly to Jianwei Hall.

The clinic is quite busy during the day.

The clinic was bustling with people from many urban villages, some queuing up to have their pulse checked, others buying medicine, and still others simply sitting and chatting.

The moment Wei Yuan lifted the curtain and went in, Mu Wanning, who was taking his pulse, seemed to sense something and looked up.

"Um?"

Upon seeing Wei Yuan, Mu Wanning frowned immediately, a fierce glint flashing in her eyes.

But she quickly returned to normal, gently giving the doctor a few instructions without speaking to Wei Yuan, and proceeded with the normal medical consultation.

Wei Yuan remained silent, watching as Mu Wanning continued to take people's pulses.

As dusk approached, the clinic gradually emptied out.

After tidying up the tables and chairs, Mu Wanning looked at Wei Yuan.

"Come with me."

Mu Wanning turned and walked towards the back hall, and Wei Yuan quickly followed.

Wei Yuan had only stepped halfway into the back hall when Mu Wanning suddenly turned around and sharply clawed at his eyes with one hand.

The swallow turns its head!

With one claw strike, Wei Yuan's eyes would be gouged out.

Wei Yuan was caught off guard, but he reacted quickly, tilting his head back as far as he could, and Mu Wanning's fingertips almost grazed his eyeballs.

He immediately somersaulted away from Mu Wanning.

"Master's wife, what are you doing?"

Wei Yuan stared at Mu Wanning in utter astonishment.

How come he hits someone as soon as he gets back after just one day apart?

Mu Wanning stared coldly at Wei Yuan, her eyes filled with disappointment.

"You smell of blood!"

"You've only been taught for one day, and you're already using it to kill people?"

"I really misjudged you; you're not worthy to learn my kung fu!"

"I will personally correct the mistakes I made!"

As Mu Wanning was about to make another move, another gust of wind rose in the hall.

Mu Wanning has once again forcefully mobilized her martial energy, intending to kill Wei Yuan.

Wei Yuan's all-seeing ears could even hear the muffled sound of martial energy severing Mu Wanning's meridians and compressing her blood and qi.

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Wei Yuan quickly called for a stop, fearing that if he hesitated even a second longer, Mu Wanning would unleash her ultimate attack and cough up blood.

He looked at Mu Wanning with a helpless expression.

"Master's wife, please don't act impulsively."

"I did kill someone, and this is what happened..."

Wei Yuan quickly recounted the killing of Liu Gang and the surprise attack on Antang.

Aside from concealing the part about him and Chu Xinrou at the hotel, he held nothing back.

Mu Wanning was also surprised to hear that Wei Yuan had gone through so much in just one day.

However, her murderous intent gradually faded.

She couldn't accept killing ordinary people, but killing a few gang members and spoiled brats was perfectly acceptable to her.

She did the same thing when she was young.

After Wei Yuan finished speaking, she remained silent for a long time.

"So all those people and the money are outside the city now?"

"So you've come here wanting my help?"

Mu Wanning looked at Wei Yuan, who nodded and then shook his head.

"Now that I have sworn a blood oath with them, I do indeed intend to use them."

"But their strength is too weak. I plan to use some methods to strengthen them, so I'm thinking of getting some medicinal herbs from my master's wife."

Mu Wanning nodded in agreement.

Using medicinal baths to enhance the strength of family members is a common practice among martial arts families, and it is not unusual.

Furthermore, obtaining medicinal herbs from her is safer and more risk-free.

"Then which prescription do you plan to use for their medicinal bath? I'll go prepare the herbs."

Mu Wanning was about to get busy when she said that.

Wei Yuan held Mu Wanning's hand to stop her, and looked at her seriously as he spoke.

"Don't rush, that's not my primary reason for coming here."

Mu Wanning looked at Wei Yuan with a puzzled expression.

Despite being nearly forty years old, Mu Wanning's skin was as firm as that of a sixteen-year-old girl, and her eyes were still clear, with a distinct black and white like the white mountains and black waters, making Wei Yuan feel somewhat awkward.

Wei Yuan pursed his lips slightly, shook the earth vein stone in his hand like milk, and said softly.

"I just found a medicinal herb."

"You should know about the earth vein stalactites."

"Your terminal illness of broken pulse can be cured."

"What?"

Mu Wanning's expression suddenly changed, and she stood up abruptly in shock.

However, Wei Yuan was half-bent over when he spoke to her and had no idea that Mu Wanning would stand up.

Caught off guard, I was suddenly covered in cream cake.

It has a wonderful aroma and a soft, bouncy texture.

Wei Yuan's entire face was almost completely buried in it.
