Cute But Brutal Wife
Chapter 378: Li Yan and Old Master Duanmu's game
Li Yan did not show any remorse for Old Master Duanmu eating his carriage. He continued to play chess with Old Master Duanmu with his cold expression.
After a while, Old Master Duanmu suddenly asked, “You are so cruel. Something must have happened these last two days?”
Li Yan looked at the chessboard and told him about his visit to the temple last night in a cold tone.
When Old Master Duanmu heard this, his expression did not change at all. After moving, he said, “It looks like the rumors are true. So many people went to the northwest this time. It's normal for someone to want you to go there too.
You have money and the business of Blazing Glory is vast. If you go there, you will definitely prepare a lot of resources that are out of their reach. This will increase their chances of getting out.”
Hearing Old Master's analysis, Li Yan did not look up. He continued to lower his eyes as if he was thinking about his next move.
After taking a step, he said, “Many people went there last night.”
“Ah, who are they?”
“The Qin family, the Lu family .. and the Duanmu family.”
After Li Yan finished speaking, he finally looked at Old Master Duanmu.
Old Master Duanmu stared back at him with his wise eyes filled with life changes. After putting the chess piece in his hand, he said to the guard standing at the side, “Little Huang, go and call my eldest son.”
“Ya.”
They both play chess.
Ten minutes later, Eldest Master Duanmu followed the guard.
“Dad, why are you looking for me?”
“I heard that our Duanmu family went to Fangqing Temple outside the city last night?”
When he heard this, Eldest Master Duanmu was first stunned before asking in a daze, “There was a temple exhibition at Fangqing Temple yesterday. The women did go there to burn incense, but they returned at three in the afternoon. I wonder why Dad asked this?”
After asking this, he looked at Li Yan and asked with concern, “Did CEO Li also go to Fangqing Temple yesterday? What else happened?”
“No,” Li Yan replied and ate another chess piece from Old Master.
Old Master Duanmu looked at the chess piece he had eaten and thought about how to make his next move. At the same time, he asked Eldest Master Duanmu, “Young Li said that many people went to the ancient tomb in the northwest whose location had been confirmed recently.”
“Ya, Father.” Eldest Master Duanmu glanced at Li Yan again, as if considering whether to say this in front of Li Yan.
Old Master Duanmu glanced at him.
Only then did Eldest Master Duanmu say in an irritated tone, “Before, the archaeological team was planning to go there. I don't expect this news to be spread by someone. Many people in the community already know.”
Old Master Duanmu's expression turned stern. “That tomb is a national ruin. Why didn't you issue a restraining order?”
“I'm negligent. I should have issued this order at the earliest. Later, the archaeological team said that they were not sure if it was a legendary ancient tomb.”
“Then send more people to stop them. If the national ruins structure is destroyed by those people, it will be a great loss for the ancient archaeological research of our empire.”
“Good, Dad. I'll send more people to stop those guys.”
After saying that, Eldest Master Duanmu left.
Only then did Old Master Duanmu smile and say to Li Yan, “Fortunately, you came to remind me, Young Li. The ancient tomb was invaluable for studying ancient cultures. If it is destroyed by the grave robbers, it will be a great loss for our kingdom.”
Li Yan nodded and continued playing chess. After the next step, he said, “The Qin family also went.”
The chess piece that Old Master Duanmu was about to place stopped in the middle of the road. He frowned and a trace of anger finally flashed across his face.
After a while, he said, “It looks like we are too kind to the Qin family.”
The game lasted for almost an hour. In the end, Li Yan won.
Old Master Duanmu scolded jokingly, “Nak, you never like to talk during chess. I wonder why you keep talking to me today. So you want to distract me and make me lose.”
“No.” Li Yan looked at Old Master and said, “Talking to you doesn't affect me much.”
When Old Master Duanmu heard this, he laughed out loud.
“You brat, even if you marry a wife, you still do not have much mercy.”
Li Yan did not reply.
However, Old Master Duanmu changed the subject and asked casually, “Young Li, if one day, I ask you to help me do something you don't want to do, <TAG1>Young Li, do you agree to help me do it?”
Li Yan looked at him coldly and said, “No.”
When Old Master Duanmu heard this, he instead laughed instead of getting angry. “Indeed, you are still you. I remember when I saved you back then, you said that as long as you survived, you had to return life to me. You've done it. If not for the recipe you gave me, I would have been buried.”
At this point, he suddenly sighed and said, “Honey once my life can only last for half a year. Once people know they don't have much time left, they feel like they don't have enough time. I really want to live to a hundred.”
Li Yan continued to look at him. After a while, he said, “I said that I will return life to you. Since your wish is to live up to a hundred years, I will find a way to let you live until then.
However, if the others from the Duanmu family want to test me or have designs in Luoluo again, don't blame me for being at odds with them.”
After saying this, he stood up and walked out of the door.
“It's okay.”
Old Master Duanmu looked behind Li Yan and narrowed his eyes.
After they left, the guard asked puzzledly, “Old Master, Li Yan is very disrespectful to you. Why are you still letting him?”
The guard felt that with Li Yan's attitude, he had to directly arrest him and throw him in jail.
Old Master Duanmu glanced at his bodyguards and started playing chess alone again. After a few moves, he said, “Young Master Li will not come to say this without proof. Since he said that someone from our Duanmu family was involved last night, that must be true.
Go and tell my eldest son to hold the junior properly. I don't want Young Master Li to come and test me again because of this troublesome matter.”
The guard was stunned for a moment before quickly answering, “Ya.”
......................
Chu Luo went to conduct an experiment with Professor Tang and the others in the morning. He did it until noon.
The four of them were about to eat when they saw a car parked outside the villa. Li Yan went down.
Chu Luo was slightly startled and immediately walked out to greet him. “Yan, you're back.”
Li Yan nodded at him and glanced at the three of them sitting in the living room, preparing to eat. She said to him, “Let's go back and eat.”
Chu Luo nodded at him and turned to say to Professor Tang and the others, “Grandfather Hu, Professor Tang, Professor Cao, don't wait for me. Yan and I will return to our villa to eat.”
He then walked towards their villa with Li Yan.
After walking out of the villa, Chu Luo asked, “Did you find something when you left?”
Li Yan did not answer him but said, “Old Master wants to live to a hundred years. I've found all the herbs on the list you've prescribed. I've decided to let him live to a hundred.”
“Is this your payment to save his life?”
“Ya.”
“OK, I'll brew this medicine.”
“Mm.”
Although Li Yan was cold to people, she was not really cold-blooded and heartless to the point of being inhumane. He would definitely avenge Old Master Duanmu for saving his life back then.
After the two of them ate, they saw Qin Ming walking over with a large wooden crate.
Li Yan walked over to pick up the wooden box and placed it on the table.
Chu Luo guessed what it was. “Is the herb inside?”
“Ya.”
Chu Luo quickly opened it. When he saw some rare herbs in a special transparent container inside the wooden box, he smiled. “For the next two days, I will purify the herb into a pill. You can give it to Old Master Duanmu after a certain period of time.”
“Good.”
In the afternoon, Chu Luo picked up the herbs and went to the other herbal purification room to brew the medicine.
When Chu Luo was concocting medicine, she only greeted elder Hu but did not say anything.
When Elder Hu pushed the door to see what medicine Chu Luo was brewing, he was shocked when he smelled the smell of the medicine.
He smelled the smell of floating Chinese medicine carefully and asked, “Little Chu, where did you get this prescription from?”
At this point, he became excited. “I think I kissed the Unicorn Grass Fire Ice!”
Chu Luo nodded. “Yes, there is this herb.”
“How did you find this herb?” At this point, he immediately understood. “It looks like Li Yan asked someone to find him.”
“Yes, he sent someone to look for him.”
Elder Hu kissed her again and her eyes twinkled. “It's not true. You have two special herbs in it. Are they?”
At this point, he fell into deep thought.
Chu Luo knew that these three herbs had long since become extinct in this world. It was good enough that Elder Hu knew about one herb. He said, The other two are White Withered Floss and Flaming Phoenix Grass.“
“What? This...this..you actually found these two herbs!”
Elder Hu was so excited that his face was red. “Quick, fast, fast. Quickly show me those two potions.”
Chu Luo brought him to take a look at the two herbs.
Elder Hu sighed. “I saw these two types of herbs in an ancient medical book when I was very young. I always thought that they were extinct in this world. I didn't expect Li Yan to find her.”
At this point, Elder Hu realized something. “It's not true. What diseases do you want to treat by brewing these three herbs together?”
