Chapter 336 -335: Naturally Should Bear the Consequences of Being Discovered

Luo Ning had already discussed the compensation for treating the illness with President Zu.

Since Zu Yu’s condition was related to his constitution, the treatment was troublesome and required a lengthy period of time.

Afterward, Zu Yu would need to temporarily reside on the mountain farm, where Luo Ning had set up an Array, which greatly benefited his health with each passing day.

Thus, she proposed a treatment fee of one hundred million, including a complete cure for Zu Yu’s physical constitution.

The price seemed exorbitant at first, but in reality, it wasn’t expensive since the creation of Pills required the consumption of a considerable amount of Spiritual Power; not to mention the materials used for setting up the Array, which were practically impossible to measure in terms of money.

Many times, no amount of money could buy these things.

For President Zu, spending a billion to cure his brother’s illness was not a problem.

Over the years, the expenses for hiring Feng Shui Masters and hospital treatments had already surpassed a billion.

Luo Ning’s fees were very reasonable. If she had been like some Feng Shui Masters who demanded ten billion, he would still have to provide it for his brother’s treatment.

After all, in his heart, money could always be earned back, but his brother’s life was of the utmost importance.

Luo Ning’s suggestion to pay half upfront was quite generous.

President Zu smiled and said, “I trust Master Luo’s abilities very much, so there’s no need to pay in two halves. I’ll transfer the full amount to you at once.”

“Having the funds readily available might be more convenient for Master Luo.”

He had always been of the mindset to trust fully those he employed; if Luo Ning’s treatment was truly effective, and her skills in Feng Shui Mystical Technique were indeed formidable, then there was no need to withhold half the money.

Apart from participating in the auction, the batch of herbal medicine that Luo Ning had asked him to help purchase wasn’t cheap either.

He might as well do her a favor, showing Luo Ning his trust and establishing a good relationship.

Of course, if Luo Ning dared to deceive him, he naturally had means of retaliation.

However, he trusted Luo Ning more and believed she wasn’t one of those charlatans.

Luo Ning felt reassured by President Zu’s trust.

And so, she did not refuse President Zu’s kindness, “Alright, I accept President Zu’s intentions.”

After chit-chatting for a while, President Zu remembered the investigation he had initiated earlier and addressed Luo Ning, “Master Luo, I’ve already found out that the century-old False Yellow Ginseng came from a woman named Luo Chun’er from the Luo Family.”

He couldn’t help but express his astonishment, “I never expected that a Fengshui Family with such a reputation would produce a Feng Shui Master capable of harming others.”

He was even more relieved that he hadn’t entrusted the Luo Family’s Feng Shui Master with his brother’s treatment.

Luo Ning laughed, not surprised, “In a large forest, there are all kinds of birds. Her actions are just too malicious and damaging to the harmony of the heavens.”

She asked, “Was Luo Chun’er the only one involved in this matter?”

Zu replied, “From what I’ve found, Luo Chun’er did this behind everyone else’s backs.”

“My wife contacted the Luo Family’s Feng Shui Master through her introduction.”

“She probably realized that my wife didn’t want my brother to recover and suggested, as my wife told me, that I had gathered all the herbs you required. That’s when she proposed the idea to switch the Yellow Ginseng with her perfectly counterfeit one.”

“After my wife got her hands on the False Yellow Ginseng, she didn’t rush to swap it out but instead took it to several Herb Appraisers and traditional doctors who all deemed it to be a century-old Yellow Ginseng before she made the switch.”

Luo Ning was skilled indeed; otherwise, if she had failed to discern the true from the false like the others, the consequences would have been just as those plotting had wished.

His wife was always meticulous and cautious in her dealings, not the kind to act recklessly upon being egged on.

Yet, it was this very caution that chilled him to the bone, the scheming from the one by his side was frightening.

Luo Ning remarked, “They are quite calculating.”

Luo Ning was unsurprised that only Luo Chun’er was involved.

“Given Lu Yuefeng’s cunning and manipulative nature, she would never do something as foolish as giving someone else leverage over her.”

President Zu laughed coldly, “They really think I’m pushover.”

Divorce was inevitable, and he intended to deal with his wife’s insatiable, greedy family.

As for Luo Chun’er, he wasn’t foolish enough to go directly against the Luo family, who, as an aristocratic Feng Shui family with a thousand years of history, had means beyond the understanding of ordinary people.

If he caused trouble for the Luo family, they could simply send a skilled, seasoned Feng Shui Master to tamper with his ancestral tomb or his residence’s Feng Shui, and he would have no way to detect or guard against it.

However, choosing not to provoke the Luo family didn’t mean he couldn’t do something to make Luo Chun’er suffer.

He even directed some of his anger toward Lu Yuefeng, thinking that if she couldn’t manage her family’s younger generation properly, she shouldn’t bring them out to cause harm to others.

So lately, he had been spreading the news of what had happened these past few days among the circles of the wealthy elite.

Since he was about to openly break with his wife’s maternal family anyway, there was no ‘family shame’ he felt compelled to hide.

He was eager to see if these wealthy magnates would dare to employ the Luo family’s newly emerged young Feng Shui Masters.

Luo Ning could tell that President Zu was not going to let matters rest, which relieved her—her previous warnings had not been wasted.

Luo Chun’er wanted to scheme against her, so naturally, she should brace herself for the consequences of being discovered.

After sitting for a while, Luo Ning and Lu Xun left.

Both times, it was Lu Xun who drove his own car.

In the car, Luo Ning received a message from Luo Ying, asking if she had time to meet up.

Luo Ning had been waiting for Luo Ying to reach out to her on her own initiative and, seeing the message, a smile spread across her lips as she agreed.

They then arranged to meet at an upscale café in an hour.

Luo Ning turned to Lu Xun and asked, “Luo Ying has asked to meet up, do you think I should reveal my true identity to her?”

Lu Xun said with a smile, “Actually, you already have a plan in mind, and I support you telling her.”

“After all, that will make it easier to find out about your father’s whereabouts and news.”

“It’s obvious that Luo Ying is truly fond of you, and she has a good nature, so even if you reveal your identity, she’ll probably be nothing but happy.”

Luo Ning chuckled, “As expected, Lu understands me best!”

Lu Xun’s lips curved up, “Of course.”

Luo Ning was beginning to trust him more and open up to him, which was a good thing; it meant their relationship was progressing further.

He then added, “I’ll take you there.”

Luo Ning nodded, “Okay!”

When they arrived at the parking lot near the café, there were still over twenty minutes before the appointed time.

Luo Ning decided to go ahead and wait, whereas this time Lu Xun did not follow. After all, it would be inappropriate for him to be present during their conversation.

So, he took his laptop to another café to work while waiting for Luo Ning.

Luo Ning felt warm and happy with Lu Xun’s considerate care.

And resolved to give serious thought to their relationship; despite the significant hurt from her past life, she couldn’t let that fear prevent her from welcoming new love.

After spending so much time together, her fondness for Lu Xun had grown into a gradually deepening affection.

It’s just that she always felt as if she had forgotten something very important, which was why she hadn’t pushed for their relationship to take the next step.

Before coming to Xiang Island, she had a strong premonition that this time, she might be able to resolve this issue.
