Chapter 518: Chapter 517: The Beauty Trap

"You, you really found the Red Sun Grass!"

Because she was too excited, Lin Yanran hugged Zhang Xiaoshan’s arm. If it were not for the table between them, she would have clung to him completely.

"What, are you offering yourself in exchange?"

Zhang Xiaoshan teased as he looked at Lin Yanran’s proactive demeanor.

It was then that Lin Yanran realized her impropriety and hastily let go of Zhang Xiaoshan.

"Who, who’s offering themselves? I’m priceless, and you’re dreaming if you think otherwise."

"Stop joking with me, you know what the Red Sun Grass means to me."

Lin Yanran said seriously to Zhang Xiaoshan.

Zhang Xiaoshan nodded earnestly in response.

"Do you think I would joke about something like this? Let’s find a quiet place to talk."

"Follow me."

Lin Yanran led Zhang Xiaoshan to her office on the second floor and also called for her confidant, Elder Li.

Under their eager gazes, Zhang Xiaoshan took out the Red Sun Grass.

A herb that resembled a wheat stalk, entirely crimson, was placed on the office desk.

As soon as the herb appeared, the room which was cool with autumn’s touch suddenly warmed up.

Both Lin Yanran and Elder Li felt a wave of heat.

At the same time, a unique fragrance filled the room.

They felt a warmth and comfort that was nothing short of sublime.

"This, is this the Red Sun Grass?"

Lin Yanran rushed to the desk, not daring to touch it, but carefully observing it.

Meanwhile, Elder Li took out an old medical book from his robe and began to flip through it.

Soon, he paused on a page.

This was a rare ancient medical illustration book, detailing the names and images of various medicinal herbs.

"Resembles wheat, entirely crimson, with fiery medicinal properties, its leaves efficacious in curing cold poisons."

Elder Li carefully compared the illustration with the herb on the table.

He also cautiously took a piece the size of a fingernail and chewed on it.

Instantly, white mist rose from his body, and his body’s moisture seemed to evaporate in a flash.

"Hot, so hot."

He immediately grabbed a nearby bucket of purified water and started guzzling it down.

He drained two pounds in one go.

Only then did the intense heat inside him begin to subside, yet his face remained flushed.

This was due to the potency of the herb and also his excitement.

"It’s the Red Sun Grass, no doubt about it, this is the Red Sun Grass recorded in the ancient book. Congratulations, Miss Lin, heaven rewards the diligent, and you finally found the Red Sun Grass. Old Master’s illness can be cured now."

Elder Li said excitedly to Lin Yanran.

Lin Yanran was also overjoyed.

"It’s really the Red Sun Grass. I, I was just trying my luck, not expecting to actually find this legendary divine medicine, ha ha."

She reached out to grab the Red Sun Grass.

But Zhang Xiaoshan was faster and took it in his hand first.

"You, what do you mean by that?" Lin Yanran said displeased.

Zhang Xiaoshan smiled.

"I need to remind the two of you, you’re getting ahead of yourselves; strictly speaking, this Red Sun Grass doesn’t belong to you yet."

It was then they snapped out of their excited stupor.

"Right, right, Doctor Zhang, please forgive our abruptness, we were presumptuous."

Doctor Li apologized first.

Lin Yanran, her face reddening, said belatedly,

"Sorry, I lost my composure just now. The Red Sun Grass belongs to you, I was just beside myself with happiness."

"No worries, as long as you can meet my price, it can be yours right away."

Zhang Xiaoshan sat back in the executive chair and propped his feet up on the desk.

He now had control of the situation.

From Lin Yanran and Elder Li’s ecstatic behavior just now, it was clear how important the Red Sun Grass was to the Lin family.

Lin Yanran immediately approached Zhang Xiaoshan, cooing,

"Doctor Zhang, it’s not the first time we’ve dealt with each other. Why are you being so formal? We can talk this out."

She reached to drape her hand over Zhang Xiaoshan’s shoulder.

She was playing the seductress.

Zhang Xiaoshan was waiting just for this; he wasn’t about to fall for it.

With one push of his feet on the table, the chair slid back several meters, leaving Lin Yanran grabbing at air.

"Miss Lin, let’s stick to business, please don’t get handsy. If you keep this up, I’ll leave."

"Since when did you become so proper with me? As expected, all you men are pigs," Lin Yanran retorted unhappily.

Zhang Xiaoshan was amused.

"Miss Lin, don’t joke with me like this. If someone overheard, they might think I slept with you; that would be such a wrongful accusation."

"Rogue."

"Then let’s keep it professional. Tell me, what’s your offer?" Lin Yanran sat on the leather sofa, legs crossed.

The slit in her qipao was high, going up to the thigh, and in that pose, the edges of the gown parted, revealing her eye-catching, fair, long legs.

She was still trying to entice Zhang Xiaoshan.

Zhang Xiaoshan lusted after her uncontrollably, thinking to himself,

"Letting you tempt me like this, just wait, I’ll have my way with you sooner or later."

But for now, there was serious business to attend to.

He looked up at the ceiling and made his demands.

"First, I’ve already given you the ingredients needed to treat my sister-in-law’s eye condition. I want you to prepare them all for me."

"Second, I want a hundred million in cash."

"A hundred million?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yanran stood up from the sofa in shock.

"Zhang Xiaoshan, you’re asking for a hundred million; why don’t you just rob somebody? It would be much faster to get the money that way."

A hundred million, not to say in these backwoods, even in the city, that was an astronomical figure.

Even for a large local company, the cash on hand might not amount to a hundred million.

A hundred million in the stock market could spike a stock price single-handedly.

Even the richest man in Wanshan County was worth less than a hundred million.

A hundred million in cash, that was just outrageous.
