Chapter 240

Holding the phone and clutching a golf club, the refined gentleman stood there hesitating for a long time before he ultimately refused, "Really? That’s truly regrettable. Uncle isn’t home today."

Not at home?

Ye Xiaobao, who was on the phone, was stunned for a moment, "Where did Uncle go?"

Lin Yebai chuckled from the other end, "Uncle is in another city, and won’t be back until tomorrow morning. Tell your mom to say we’ll eat after Uncle returns."

Upon hearing this, Ye Xiaobao could only purse his lips, "Alright, then you take care of yourself, Uncle. We’ll wait for you to come back."

"Okay!"

"..."

Ye Ning had been driving all this time. Seeing Baozi with his little face falling after ending the call, she couldn’t help but find it a bit amusing, "What’s wrong? Is your Uncle Lin not there?"

Xiaobao nodded, "Yeah, he said he’s not here and has gone to another city. He won’t be back until tomorrow morning."

"Is that so? Well, in that case, we’ll invite him for a meal tomorrow then."

"Okay!"

Ye Ning didn’t think too much about it. This man, who had helped her a lot, was indeed a very busy person. It was normal for him to be often away on business trips, given the vast antique industry he owned.

So, at this moment, Ye Ning harbored no suspicion at all.

However, what she didn’t know was that the man who had just spoken to her son on the phone hadn’t left the city at all. Instead, he had gone on a vacation to a suburban villa with a group of friends.

"Mr. Lin, we found out that the Jade Factory at Qilian Mountain really did sell one ton of B-grade material," one of his assistants reported.

"One ton?"

He took the documents his assistant handed him, flipped through them casually, and finally, his gaze settled on the figure," Did you find out if the buyer was Yang Xueshan?"

The assistant nodded, "Yes, it’s her. Mr. Lin, why would Yang Xueshan buy so much B-grade material for no good reason? Isn’t she the lady of the young master at Dragon-Phoenix Jewelry? Is she intending to make Dragon-Phoenix produce inferior goods?"

"..."

The man resting in the chair didn’t answer. After confirming that the person who had made the move was indeed that woman named Yang Xueshan, a satisfied smile finally crossed his lips.

She had finally made her move. Not a bad plan!

But...

He thought of the changes that girl had gone through since joining the Ou’s, and the recent closeness between her and that man, narrowing his eyes as he stood up from the chair.

"Remember to call my apprentice tomorrow morning and tell her I’m ill," he instructed.

"Ah?"

The assistant was slow to catch on, "Ill? What does it mean, sir...?"

The man who had stood back up expressed no emotion, "It means you invite her to take care of me. Didn’t you understand?"

When the bowstring is drawn, of course you have to cut off all her escape routes, to ensure that the arrow fires without fail!

The assistant finally understood! noveldrama

Makes sense. It was no secret that Mr. Lin had intentions towards his apprentice. Since that was the case, calling her over, he surely wanted to spend time alone with her, uninterrupted.

After the assistant agreed, he immediately went to take care of it.

But at that moment, the man ready to step inside with the golf club stopped him once more, "Also, after you make the call tomorrow morning, block her mobile signal. Don’t turn it back on until I say so!"

The assistant laughed, "Understood. Don’t worry, sir, I will handle it well!"

Afterwards, he left the place...
