The seedlings that were just destroyed by the locusts are now lush and green, looking healthy and thriving, without any signs of being damaged by pests.

  Yan Qi's face suddenly changed, and he turned his head to look at Cheng Zihuan, "Why is it like this?"

  Cheng Zihan was also frightened by the scene in front of her, and when she heard Yan Qi ask this, she raised an eyebrow, viciously waiting for Yan Qi to counter-question: "Why can't it be like this?"

  "You!" Yan Qi was so angry that he didn't care about his image from earlier at all.

  He thought there must be something wrong here. He had clearly controlled the locusts to come and bite all the flower seedlings to death. Even if they didn't die completely, it was impossible that nothing happened at all.

  Does Cheng Ziheng have some kind of magic?

  But it's also impossible. Yan Qi was born with a special ability that allows him to control some small animals, especially insects.

  Because someone had previously tampered with the seedlings in the plantation, which was discovered by Cheng Zihuan, he took precautions and also had someone sabotage the greenhouse.

  However, although he underestimated Cheng Zihuan, he didn't dare to underestimate the person behind him. So, apart from destroying the seedlings in the greenhouse, he also arranged for someone to destroy all the mutated red flower seedlings planted on the mountain top. Then, he personally planned a disaster.

  Man-made things may be investigated by Cheng Zihan to find out who is responsible, but natural disasters, even if she can endure the greatest hardship, cannot be investigated.

  So Yan Qi was well-prepared for everything, and he calculated that Cheng Zihuan would not be able to resist this pestilence. However, in the end, he still miscalculated.

  It's not just Yan Qi who didn't expect it, Cheng Zihan himself didn't think it through either!

  She had already made up her mind to give up on the flower seedlings, and if they really couldn't be saved, she would just plant another batch. Even if Yan Qi got a chance to say something because of this, she wouldn't care anymore.

  But now looking at what's in front of me, this flower is still fine, as if everything just before was an illusion created by them.

  Dong Jie was standing behind Cheng Zihan at this time, she just wanted to tell Cheng Zihan that all the flower seedlings here had suddenly and inexplicably recovered, and they were even better than before they were damaged by the locusts.

  She has been planting crops for most of her life and it's the first time she has seen such a strange situation.

  "How's that? Now you see, don't you? Everything is fine here, not a single problem. I have good character, and heaven favors me, doesn't want anything to happen to me. Those locusts even take a detour when they see my place. Can you leave now?" Cheng Zihan quickly regained her composure from the shock, with an air of triumph, looking down her nose at Yan Qi, if not for the height difference, she would probably be looking down at him with her chin.

  Yan Qi's anger was not light, he took a deep breath, hummed, and then led the person away.

  As soon as they left the botanical garden, Yan Qi gritted her teeth and said to the people following behind her, "Investigate! Investigate immediately! See what kind of skills this Cheng Zihuan has! It seems she's not just hiding one secret, I'm afraid there are many more secrets on her!"

  "Yes, young master!" The man responded with a single word, and then retreated silently like a shadow.

  Yan Qi shook his sleeve and strode towards Wangcheng. He couldn't understand, he had clearly seen that the seedlings in the plantation were almost all destroyed by locusts before, how could there be nothing wrong now?

  Cheng Zihan didn't breathe a sigh of relief until Yan Qi had left.

  This time's matter is really strange, she also can't say clearly what exactly happened.

  At this time, a small white chubby hand suddenly stretched out from the flower cluster, and then a crisp voice also came out, "Ah, sleeping is so comfortable."

  That's right! Tian Can! I just forgot about him, could it be that he did something good this time?

  Cheng Zihan hurried over and pulled Tiansan out of the flower cluster.

  Tian Can looked at Cheng Ziheng with a puzzled expression, "Sister Ziheng, what's wrong?"

  Cheng Zihan was annoyed that there were too many people around, and it wasn't convenient to ask Tian Can directly, so she scolded fiercely, "You little rascal, how did you end up sleeping in the flower bushes? You're just a little fatty, aren't you afraid of crushing my seedlings? Come with me, let's see how I'll teach you a lesson!"

  Cheng Zihan scolded fiercely while directly dragging Tian Can and walking away.

  After entering the greenhouse, closing the door, Cheng Zihan finally let out a breath and looked at Tiancan, asking seriously, "Tiancan, be honest with me, was it really you who made that mess just now?"

  Tian Can shook his head, "Zi Han sister, what are you talking about?"

  Cheng Zihan furrowed his brow and glanced at Tian Can. He didn't seem to be lying, so was it really not him?

  How can this strange phenomenon be explained?

  Cheng Zihan couldn't figure it out no matter how hard she thought, so she gave up. Anyway, it was beneficial to her, so she didn't need to worry about it for the time being.

  But this Yan Qi is really formidable, he can even control locusts, it seems that I really need to investigate his affairs.

  But who should I go find?

  Cheng Zihan no longer intends to find Han Xuyan, although Han Xuyan claims to be Han Yi's father. However, judging from his behavior, he seems to have a good impression of Yan Qi, and Cheng Zihan always feels that something is off between them. She even suspects that they have a deep emotional connection, otherwise how can it be explained that Yan Qi came to Wangcheng and directly checked into the Wangcheng Hotel? Moreover, she's staying in the room next to Han Xuyan's, and the two of them seem to run into each other frequently for no reason. Additionally, Han Xuyan often speaks highly of Yan Qi.

  There is gay feeling, there must be gay feeling!

  Cheng Zihan thought for a moment, then pulled Tian Can out of the greenhouse.

  At this time, everyone had already moved all the flower seedlings that were just hidden indoors out and piled them back.

  Cheng Zihan took a look and this time it was uneventful. If next time the miracle doesn't happen again, what to do?

  What I'm most afraid of is that Yan Qi will come and cause trouble on the eve of delivery, that would be a real hassle!

  Traitor! Who are you?!

  Cheng Zihan's head was aching with worry.

  Suddenly, her eyes lit up and she saw a hair tie on an employee's head in the plantation garden, and she had an idea.

  That more than sixty peony seedlings were planted on the mountain top was only known to a few people in charge of the nursery. Liang Han could already be ruled out, and Dong Jie could also be ruled out, as she had just been recruited recently. The old men on the medicinal field side could also be ruled out, and it was only recently that Cheng Zihuan arranged for several young men who had just been recruited to study medicine to come in, so they could also be ruled out.

  There is also a group of elderly people who followed to help with the plantation at the beginning, half of them have been arranged to go to the breeding farm to help, and only half are still left here.

  Among them, those who knew about Hua Miao's situation could be counted on ten fingers, and there were only three women among them.

  So the traitor must be one of these three people!

  One is Huang Songfang from next door, one is Li Ermei, and the other is Li Xiaolin.

  Among the three people, Huang Songfang had short hair and definitely didn't need a red ribbon to tie up her hair.

  Only Li Er Mei and Li Xiao Lin were left. Choosing between the two should be a simple matter, just take a look at who had their hair ribbon cut off.

  Cheng Zihan instructed Liu Zhankuo to call them over.

  Li Ermei and Li Xiaolin are both honest farmers, they are from the same era as Cheng Hai, and their ages are similar.

  It is said that in those years, Li Ermei almost married Cheng Hai, but because Cheng Hai was not interested in her, they did not become a couple.

  Cheng Zihan looked at the two people in front of her, originally wanting to find flaws from their red scarves, but when she saw them, she knew she was wrong!

  The other party must have known long ago that they had discovered the red scarf she dropped on the mountain top, so they were well prepared!

  Now Li Er Mei and Li Xiao Lin both have a red hair tie on their heads, but they are all broken! Moreover, it is very obvious that the two people should be using the same red hair tie, just split into two halves, each using half.

  Just find an opportunity to ask them who proposed to share the red scarf, and it will be clear who is the internal ghost.

  Cheng Zihan looked at the two of them for a long time before smiling and asking, "Second Aunt, Lin Aunt, what's with the red headband?"

  Li Er Mei touched her hair and awkwardly smiled, saying: "Zi Han, when I got up today, I found that my red hair tie was gone, so I borrowed Xiao Lin's to use."

  Li Xiaolin nodded, indicating that Li Ermei's words were true.

  "Oh? Is that so? Was it lost in the morning when you got up, or was it lost while doing something?" Cheng Zihan smiled coldly, her eyes suddenly changing as she stared at Li Ermei.

  Li Ermei suddenly felt a chill run down her spine, she looked at Cheng Zihuan in confusion and asked, "Zihuan, what do you mean by this? What are you suspecting me of?"

  "You yourself did something, you should be clearer than me." Cheng Zihan also didn't bother to go around in circles with her, and actually dared to join forces with outsiders to harm her, no matter what the reason, she deserved to die!

  Especially her means are so vicious! She actually smashed all the peony seedlings to pieces!

  If she was just like Liang Han, secretly causing trouble without actually harming the plantation's interests, or Cheng Zihuan might have considered letting her off. But now, the situation is too severe, it's simply unforgivable!

  Li Ermei listened to Cheng Zihan's words, seemingly also getting angry, unwilling to show weakness, looking at Cheng Zihan, "Zihan, you'd better make yourself clear! What exactly did I do wrong? I just got up in the morning and couldn't find my red scarf anywhere, is that not allowed?! You'd better clarify everything today! Otherwise, I'm not someone who can be easily bullied!"

  Looking at Li Er Mei's demeanor, it seems like she has suffered a great injustice.

  Cheng Zihan looked at her coldly, "Alright, you want me to make it clear, I'll make it clear for you."

  Cheng Zihan never missed Lei Xiaolin's expression on the side, and even secretly paid attention to her inner reaction. Although Cheng Zihan is not good at being a detective, she is not that stupid either.

  Li Ermei is absolutely innocent, Cheng Zihan has never doubted her. On the other hand, Li Xiaolin always had an air of innocence about her, standing aside and even revealing a relieved expression when she heard that she had wronged Li Ermei. None of this escaped Cheng Zihan's notice.

  "When I first cultivated the variant peony seedlings, apart from those bought by Qin Hongtao at the beginning, there were more than 60 seedlings left, which were planted on the top of the lychee mountain in front. At that time, only a few people knew about this matter, and they could be counted on ten fingers."

  Today I went to the top of the mountain and saw that more than 60 peony seedlings were all smashed to death, not a single one was left. And when I was there, I found this." Cheng Zihan said, taking out the red rope he had picked up from his pocket and waving it in front of Li Ermei.

  Li Ermei didn't say a word and waited for Cheng Zihan to continue speaking.

  Cheng Zihan smiled coldly and continued, "At the beginning, among those who knew, there were only three women: you, Li Xiaolin, and Huang Songfang. Huang Songfang had short hair, so it's impossible for her to tie her hair up, leaving only you and Li Xiaolin. Today, you both suddenly used the same red ribbon, if I send someone to look for it, they will definitely find the broken red ribbon. Since you discovered your own red ribbon was gone and suggested sharing one with Li Xiaolin, then the murderer must be... you!"

  Cheng Zihan slowly explained, one word at a time, so that the two people present could hear clearly and understand clearly. Finally, she suddenly stretched out her finger to point at Li Ermei, but when she said the last "you", her finger suddenly changed direction and pointed at Li Xiaolin.

  Li Xiaolin was secretly rejoicing, never expecting Cheng Zihan to be so easily deceived, believing that everything was said by Li Ermei. It seemed she wouldn't suspect herself at all. But as a result, Cheng Zihan suddenly turned the conversation around and directly implicated herself.

  "Wait, no, it wasn't me! I was just lending my own red scarf to Ermei because hers went missing. How could I be the one who...? Are you mistaken?"

  "Yes, you are really kind to lend her your red hair tie. But didn't you notice that the texture of your own hair is quite different from hers? When I was on the mountain top, apart from finding the red hair tie, I also found something else." Cheng Zihan said, taking out a transparent small bag from his pocket, inside which were several thick, black and slightly curly hairs.

  She waved the bag in front of Li Xiaolin, letting her see clearly, "How about it? Seeing these hairs, can't you say anything? I didn't expect that you would overlook this point yourself. That's right, you're really smart, knowing to steal Li Ermei's red hairband and throw it there to frame her, but what you never expected was that you dropped a few of your own hairs there, I think probably because you accidentally lost them yourself. Let me think about what you did that day.

  Early in the morning, you secretly took away the red hair tie of Li Ermei, who lived with you, broke it after taking it, threw away half of it, and brought the other half up the mountain. After reaching the top of the mountain, you went crazy and smashed all the peony seedlings there to death. Then, possibly because some chickens or ducks came to peck at you, or maybe because of flies or mosquitoes, anyway, something must have disturbed you, and you became very annoyed. You have a small action that even you haven't noticed, which is that when your mood becomes annoyed, you like to scratch your hair, but although your hair looks very black and shiny, it often falls out, so when you scratched it, the hair fell to the ground. However, you were afraid that someone would find it during patrol, so after hastily throwing away Li Ermei's red hair tie, you left the mountain without noticing the few strands of hair that had fallen aside. But I found them.

  "How about you? Is there anything else you'd like to say?"

  Cheng Zihan finished speaking and turned her head to stare coldly at Li Xiaolin.

  "I have nothing to say, you're absolutely right! This thing was indeed done by me. I worked hard for you, but you sold a single peony seedling for tens of thousands of dollars, while my monthly salary is only over a thousand dollars. Why can you earn so much money, and I can only get such a small amount? I'm not resigned to it! It was Yan Qi who said that if I helped him, he would give me one million dollars! One million dollars! That's an amount of money I wouldn't be able to earn in my lifetime! Why couldn't I agree to his offer? So I steeled myself and went to destroy all your precious seedlings! I don't think I did anything wrong, it was you who treated me unfairly!" Now that things have come to this point, Li Xiaolin also knew she could no longer hide the truth, so she frankly admitted it.

  "Alright." Cheng Zihan gritted her teeth as she stared at Li Xiaolin, then took a deep breath and closed her eyes. After a while, she opened them again. "Li Xiaolin, there's nothing more to say between us. If you have anything, go tell the police. The value of those flower seedlings isn't much, just over 10 million yuan. I know you can't afford to pay that back in your lifetime, so just wait for your prison sentence. What I want to tell you is how much money one of my flower seedlings can make - that's my own skill. If you can also cultivate high-value flower seedlings or develop new varieties, when the seedlings are sold, I can give you half the money, or even all of it. Or maybe you didn't read the employee handbook carefully and don't know about this benefit, so you don't have the ability to earn more money - then don't envy others' good fortune. The police will be happy to explain it to you, Liu Zhenke!"

  Cheng Zihan looked at Li Xiaolin and said coldly before shouting loudly towards the door.

  Li Xiaolin was completely stunned by Cheng Zihan's words.

  She never thought that because of her own greed, she would ruin her life. She knew that Cheng Zihang would really send her to the police station.

  Clutching onto her last shred of hope, she knelt down and hugged Cheng Zihans legs, begging pitifully, "Zihan, Zihan, I was wrong, I was wrong, please, please give me another chance. I will change, I will definitely change."

  Cheng Zihan coldly kicked her away, "Sorry! For someone who did something wrong and then shifts the blame to others, I won't give them another chance to make a mistake! You're greedy and selfish, that's why you did such a thing. People with desires in their hearts will definitely do things that harm others for personal gain again because of the expansion of their desires. I don't trust you!"

  "No! Zihan, you believe me, you believe me!" Li Xiaolin rushed over again and hugged Cheng Zihan's feet, crying out loudly.

  At this time, Liu Zhenke had already pushed open the door and came in. Seeing Li Xiaolin kneeling on the ground hugging Cheng Zihan's feet, he was somewhat puzzled.

  "Take her away! Send her to the police station!" Cheng Zihan kicked Li Xiaolin again, coldly and mercilessly.

  Liu Zhenke's face turned red, then he came over and pulled Li Xiaolin up, his face still red as he pulled her out.

  Only Li Ermei and Cheng Zihan were left in the house, "Although I don't have any evidence to say that you've done something, but you'd better not let me find out that you've done anything wrong, otherwise her fate will be your future fate."

  Looking at Li Ermei's astonished face, Cheng Zihan said coldly and walked out in big strides.

  Li Er Mei looked at the small back of Cheng Zi Han, feeling a sense of relief. Fortunately, she had not been persuaded by Yan Qi and done something to wrong Cheng Zi Han, otherwise, Cheng Zi Han would have sent her to the police station without hesitation!

  Cheng Zihan may be young in years, but her methods are more ruthless and merciless than anyone else's. She won't let you off just because she has a good relationship with you.

  Li Ermei secretly congratulated herself at the same time, and also reminded herself that she must never give herself any chance to do anything wrong.

  Although they caught Lei Xiaolin, the insider, Cheng Zihan didn't feel happy at all.

  Li Xiaolin was caught, but there is still one person who can freely enter and exit the greenhouse, and can put a large number of insects in the greenhouse without being detected.

  That person has not been caught yet, and the plantation is still dangerous.

  Moreover, what Cheng Zihan is most worried about now is that people all have greedy thoughts and desires. If there are still people like Li Xiaolin who, due to their own greed, are bought off by Yan Qi and do things that harm the interests of the plantation, then it will be impossible to guard against.

  In this world, except for yourself and your closest relatives, no one will be absolutely loyal to you. Self-interest is the best catalyst for their betrayal.

  Cheng Zihan suddenly envies some people now, they all have absolutely loyal people by their side, even if they die, they will not betray their master.

  Unfortunately, interests can't tie a person's heart down, but they can make a person change their mind.

  Cheng Zihan rubbed her temples, and at this time, Tian Can came running over with a plop, hugging Cheng Zihan's thigh, and called out in a crisp voice, "Sister Zihan."

  Cheng Zihan rubbed his temples and finally cracked a smile. "Tian Can, what's wrong?"

  "There are so many delicious bugs here, I really like it here." As Tian Can spoke, he reached into his pocket and pulled out a handful of bugs, stuffing them into his mouth.

  Cheng Zihan suddenly felt a chill and pushed Tian Can away, from then on labeling him as: Danger, do not approach!

  Tian Can looked at Cheng Zihuan with an innocent face.

  "Don't wave those disgusting bugs in front of me to irritate my nerves, I have very weak nerves and if I can't take it anymore, I'll slap you to death! I really will slap you to death, and I'll slap your brains and intestines flying out!" Cheng Zihan raised her hand menacingly.

  Tian Can's face was innocent, and he lowered his head with a wronged expression, then responded listlessly.

  Cheng Zihan looked at him like that, and felt unbearable again. However, her eyes suddenly widened, staring at the silkworms, and asked urgently, "Where did you catch these bugs?"

  "There are still many outside." Tiansan pointed to the outside, which was the direction of the flower bed.

  Cheng Zihan was shocked in her heart and hurriedly ran over with big strides.

  That past event had scared her so much that the hair-raising feeling suddenly came flooding back.

  Worms, the ground is full of white flower-like worms, each one as big as a thumb, now wriggling their fat bodies forward.

  Cheng Zihan felt an urge to vomit in her heart.

  Goosebumps broke out all over his body in an instant.

  At this time, someone had already discovered the worms on the ground. Everyone brought tools and kept hitting the worms on the ground. Some people even used their feet to trample them, but even with hundreds of people trampling together, they couldn't withstand the endless army of worms.

  These insects don't know where they come from, seemingly endless and pouring in from all sides with a clear target.

  Cheng Zihan took one look and nearly scared her little heart out.

  All that can be seen is the dense, crawling insects on the greenhouse roof, white, green, black, gray, yellow, and various other colors. If it weren't for Cheng Zihan's innate fear and disgust towards these soft-bodied creatures, she might have found them quite beautiful in their multicolored appearance. But now, all she feels is a chill from her toes to the top of her head.

  My scalp is numb and tingling all over.

  She lowered her head and found a large pile of white flower-like insects at her feet, which were crawling up her legs without fear.

  Cheng Zihan was so frightened that his hair almost stood up on end, and his feet felt as if they were filled with lead, he didn't dare move a single step.

  Tian Can looked at Cheng Zihan's pale face and knew that she was most afraid of insects. He quickly went over, opened his mouth, and sucked in the insects crawling on her feet into his belly. Then he rapidly left a circle around Cheng Zihan, a transparent and somewhat strange sticky liquid. Strangely, those insects automatically avoided Cheng Zihan and didn't dare to approach the circle half a step.

  Cheng Zihan was overjoyed at the sight and hastily said to Tiancan, "Tiancan, quickly, go and encircle all the seedlings on the flower bed!"

  Tian Can hurriedly ran towards the flower bed, and although he looked chubby and round, he was actually quite fast. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared from Cheng Zihan's sight.

  He quickly drew a circle around all the flower seedlings and then went to the greenhouse to draw another one.

  The insects on the greenhouse roof saw the caterpillar approaching and all fell from the glass surface of the greenhouse, lying stiffly on the ground.

  The swallow looked around and saw no one, then opened its mouth wide and took a big gulp, eating with relish.

  These insects didn't go to the forest area to harm those saplings, but the sky silkworm still diligently drew a circle outside the forest area before returning to Cheng Zihans side.

  "Zi Han sister, there is someone who can command the insects, he is hiding not far from here controlling these insects. Do you want me to help you go beat him up?" Tian Can's face was full of excitement, looking like he wanted to go and thrash the person who was using the insects to harm Cheng Zi Han's plantation immediately.

  Cheng Zihan's eyes lit up, "Take me with you."

  Tian Can nodded and immediately took Cheng Zihan out of the plantation.

  Because the worms can't get close to the flower beds anymore, more than a thousand people from the entire garden and the construction site next door came over to exterminate the worms.

  Cheng Zihan followed behind Tian Can, heading in the direction of the mastermind behind the scenes.

  Cheng Zihan originally thought that Yan Qi should be hiding in the hotel, but unexpectedly, he was actually hiding in a dilapidated farmhouse about one kilometer away from the plantation.

  The farmhouse here has been deserted and no one lives in it.

  There were four bodyguards at the door, but they were no match for Cheng Zihan and Tian Can. They went over one by one, easily taking down all four bodyguards.

  Slowly approaching the house, Cheng Zihan looked inside through a gap in the wall and saw Yan Qi sitting cross-legged on an old table with his eyes closed, surrounded by strange objects, and a green horn on his forehead.

  "Tsk tsk, so it was that guy who found a host." Tian Can couldn't help but say when he saw the horn on Yan Qi's forehead.

  Yan Qi felt the commotion outside and suddenly opened his eyes, looking outwards. A green light suddenly shot out from within his dark green pupils.

  The swallow pulled Cheng Ziheng lightly to the left and dodged past.

  The next moment, Yan Qi appeared in front of Cheng Zihan. His originally deep and dark eyes had turned into a strange emerald green color, and his face was covered with green vein-like patterns, making him look extremely eerie.

  Cheng Zihan coldly stared at Yan Qi, this damned man had opposed her three times and four times, he was simply detestable!

  "Yan Qi, it's really you!" Cheng Zihan gritted her teeth and glared at Yan Qi in front of her.

  Yan Qi's mouth curled up in a cold smile, his eyes fixed on Cheng Zihuan with a ferocious and sinister expression, his gaze filled with a chilling murderous intent.

  "Hmph, your insect ancestor is here, you little thing still don't hurry up and come out to meet your insect ancestor?" Seeing Yan Qi's cold and frightening gaze, Tian Can suddenly took a step forward, blocking in front of Cheng Zihan. The majestic aura burst forth, causing Yan Qi to retreat several steps back.

  Yan Qi finally managed to steady himself, and with a terrified expression, he looked up at Tian Can.

  The sky silkworm suddenly opened its mouth, and its body rapidly expanded, finally turning into a huge white worm. It swallowed Yan Qi directly into its belly with one gulp.

  After a while, Tian Can returned to his original size, but his belly was too big, making him look a bit strange.

  "Tiancan, how are you?" Cheng Zihan discovered that Tiancan's face was not quite right and hurried over to support him.

  "Zi Han, sister, I'm fine. This person has something attached to their body, that's why they have the ability to control insects, but only low-level ones, like those big green beetles from earlier. I need to digest it, but it'll take three days. Don't let anyone disturb me, I'll be here. In three days, I'll pull out the guy I just swallowed, but he won't be in any danger of losing his life, he just won't be able to control insects anymore." Tian Can shook her head, a faint flush on her pale face.

  Cheng Zihan nodded and supported Tian Can as they entered the house.

  This is an abandoned farmhouse, and normally except for some vagrants, no one else would come here.

  But Yan Qi's bodyguards will probably wake up soon and might cause trouble.

  Cheng Zihan settled the Heavenly Silkworm and then went out to fetch a rope, tying up the four bodyguards tightly. This time, even if they had the ability to defy the heavens, it would be impossible for them to escape.

  After doing all this, Cheng Zihan finally breathed a sigh of relief and went to guard the Tian Can with peace of mind.

  Because he was still worried about the situation in the plantation, Cheng Zihan returned first and saw that most of the insects had been eliminated. Some others lost control because Yan Qi was swallowed into the belly of the heavenly silkworm and left one after another.

  This crisis is temporarily over.

  Yan Qi Hui will temporarily stop for three days, and the plantation should be safe in the next three days.

  Cheng Zihan arranged some things well because Cheng Hai was watching her, so she felt at ease.

  When he returned to the farmhouse, Tian Can was still sitting with his legs crossed, but he was too fat and this action looked a bit strange.

  Cheng Zihan sat down next to Tiansan, also with her legs crossed.

  Time flies second by second. Cheng Zihan rarely leaves the farmhouse except for three meals a day, occasionally going back to the plantation to check on things and confirm the situation inside the plantation.

  Fortunately, nothing has happened in these days.

  In the blink of an eye, three days had passed. Tian Can finally opened his eyes and suddenly jumped up, covering his buttocks as he quickly ran out.

  Cheng Zihan also opened her eyes and looked at Tiansan's actions with a surprised expression.

  After a while, a shocking and earth-shaking sound came from outside, followed by a foul and unbearable smell.

  Cheng Zihan almost fainted from the smell.

  She twitched her mouth corners fiercely, it seemed that the Celestial Silkworm had already digested whatever it was and now pulled out Yan Qi.

  As soon as he thought that Yan Qi was pulled out by Tian Can, the corner of Cheng Zihan's mouth couldn't help but twitch.

  Soon, Tian Can ran back and pulled Cheng Zihan's hand and ran away.

  Cheng Zihan was perplexed, and soon heard a roar from behind him, "Cheng Zihan!"

  Cheng Zihan had an innocent face, she really wanted to tell Yan Qi that she was indeed innocent.

  Dragged by the silkworm all the way, finally returned to the plantation garden.

  These days the plantation has been very quiet, occasionally there will be customers coming to order and pick up goods. Since Cheng Zihang left, three days have passed peacefully without any strange things happening again.

  The peony flowers on the mountain top were battered, but their roots were not damaged, so they still sprouted new buds. However, it's a bit difficult for them to bloom in a short period of time.

  Cheng Zihan thought about whether to discuss with Han Xuanyan to change a variety of peony flowers, or to change several precious varieties.

  "Zi Han, you're back." Seeing Zi Han return, Cheng Hai walked over.

  Cheng Zihan nodded, "En en, I'm back, what's up? Has anything happened recently?"

  "No, but just now a customer came and wants to order one hundred pots of Qinglong Womopi, saying that the price is not a problem, as long as we can provide it." Cheng Hai shook his head before explaining.

  "Oh? Where's he? Has he left?" Cheng Zihan raised an eyebrow and asked.

  "Yes, he just left. I told him to come back in two days." Cheng Hai said as he and Cheng Zihan walked into the plantation together.

  Cheng Zihan nodded without saying a word.

  Recently, the twenty handsome men and beautiful women in the sales department all went out to run the market, but after running for ten or twenty days, they didn't bring back any good news. Cheng Zihan doesn't discourage their enthusiasm, now the entire Nanshi flower market has been basically monopolized by Cheng Zihan, even if they can develop new customers, it won't be too big of a deal.

  Recently, all the towns and villages in Nanshi have to purchase a batch of flower seedlings because the National Day decoration is about to begin. Generally, they start decorating from August and by September and October, the flower seedlings are basically in bloom. However, the types of flowers needed are relatively single, mostly chrysanthemums, with only a few being roses and begonias.

  Now that orders are increasing, the greenhouse seems very small and can't accommodate so many seedlings, even the area of the flower beds seems a bit too small.

  However, the area of the plantation is only that big for now and it's not possible to continue expanding. If you want to expand, you can only wait until the government puts up the land on the west side for sale.

  Qinglong sleeps in the ink pool, Cheng Zihang only planted a few plants at home, and there are no plantations in the plantation.

  Cheng Hai did not respond to the other party and did not make any promises, he just let him come back in a few days.

  Cheng Zihan returned and immediately convened a meeting with everyone.

  "Everyone knows that we have to deliver a large batch of flower seedlings by the end of the month. Now, only the first batch of flower pots has arrived from Dan's place, and there are still hundreds of thousands of flower pots that haven't been delivered yet. The workload for potting is heavy and far-reaching, everyone needs to work harder.

  Also, I hope nothing unexpected happens during this period, and security needs to be tightened up. I'm actually very gentle, of course, as long as you don't offend me. If you offend me, my gentleness will be something you can't handle.

  Now, let's do a good job and complete this batch of orders. You'll get a big holiday, and the bonus at the end of the month won't disappoint you."

  Cheng Zihan fully demonstrated the shameless nature of a qualified leader who gives a slap on the wrist and then offers a sweet date. She now feels more and more like a capitalist, an evil capitalist.

  With Cheng Zihan's promise, everyone was filled with energy and enthusiasm.

  That afternoon, the second batch of one million flower pots was finally delivered.

  The tense potting work has begun in full swing.

  On the third day, the guest that Cheng Hai mentioned also arrived.

  As soon as she saw this person, Cheng Zihan felt a slight headache.

  This person looks really too strange.

  He was about 1.6 meters tall, with a slender and small build, his neck being particularly thin, but slightly longer than average. A large head precariously perched on his thin neck made Cheng Zihang worry that it might fall off due to the narrowness of his neck when he walked.

  Seeing this person, Cheng Zihan felt not only amused but also a strong urge to go over and give him a good beating.

  At that moment when she saw him, Cheng Zihan was really frightened.

  "Hello Miss Cheng." The other party was very polite, as soon as he saw Cheng Zihuan, he immediately came over to extend his hand and wanted to shake hands with Cheng Zihuan.

  Cheng Zihan silently looked at the outstretched hand, dryly laughed, but didn't extend her own hand, and instead calmly asked, "Hello, may I ask who you are?"

  "Oh, sorry about that, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Situ Jin, and in my free time, I enjoy playing with flowers and plants. I heard that you have some top-notch peony flowers and orchid seedlings here, so I came specifically to buy some from you. I hope you can spare them."

  Is it Sze-toh Kin? Could he be a member of the Sze-toh family?

  Cheng Zihan's thoughts flashed quickly in her mind, and she also smiled, reaching out to shake hands with Sito Jin lightly before quickly letting go.

  Situ Jin smiled and remained silent.

  Cheng Zihan welcomed him into the living room and sat down. Li Yuan brought over a pot of hot tea and filled two cups to the brim.

  "We do have peony and orchid seedlings here. As for the Qinglong Womochi, my father mentioned it to me too, but it's not something you can easily find on the streets. You can't just get hundreds of them because you want to. I only have five here." Cheng Zihan picked up the hot tea and took a light sip, raising an eyebrow as she looked at Situ Jin.

  Situ Jin smiled faintly and looked at Cheng Zihuan, "Cheng Zihuan seems to have encountered some trouble recently."

  Cheng Zihan's expression changed slightly as he looked at Sito Jin without responding.

  "A hundred sprouts of Qing Long Wo Mo Chi, twenty million per sprout. I only want the seedlings, regardless of whether they mutate or not, regardless of their quality, and even if they all die when I take them back. As long as you can provide them, I'll help you solve any problems you're facing this time." Si Tu Jin smiled with a calm face, but his self-confidence was daunting.

  Cheng Zihan looked at him and vaguely felt that this big-headed guy might not be simple either.

  However, the world is vast and there are naturally many talented people. As I said before, in this world, there are still many hidden families with special abilities, but they don't interfere with worldly affairs, so people don't know about them.

  It's no wonder that the four major families aren't ordinary people. It's not unusual for a family to occasionally produce someone with some special abilities.

  Han Yi also told her that their Han family had a pervert who was born with some special skills, and as for what kind of special skills, Han Yi jokingly said that once Cheng Zihuan saw him, she would definitely understand.

  Now, people from the Yan family, Han family and even the Situ family have seen Cheng Zihuan. Yan Qi of the Yan family, Situ Jing of the Situ family, and Han Jincheng of the Han family all possess some special abilities.

  It's possible that Situ Jin really has something in his hands that can restrain Yan Qi.

  After some thought, Cheng Zihan smiled and said, "Alright, I can agree to it, but the price can't be that low. The peony seedlings produced here are absolutely guaranteed in terms of quality. If I sell you inferior goods, I'm afraid it will affect my reputation. And if you really don't care about quality, then there's no need for you to come find me."

  "Ahahahaha! Alright, straightforward, I like you!"

  Cheng Zihan's mouth twitched violently and she said weakly, "Sorry, I don't like you."

  Situ Jin didn't mind, thought for a moment and said, "I don't have much money, but if you think the price of 200,000 per plant is low, I can give you up to 500,000 per plant at most. If it's more than that, I really can't afford it."

  Cheng Zihan's mouth continued to twitch, silently looking at Situ Jian for a moment. Was this guy being protected too well? How could he be so honest? His honesty made Cheng Zihan feel guilty in his heart, as if he had done something unforgivable.

  "Alright, I won't cheat you either, thirty million is fine."

  It wasn't until later that Cheng Zihan thought back on the matter and realized she was the one who had been played, she really had been thoroughly screwed over by Situ Jian!

  Situ Jin didn't say a word either, but instead looked at Cheng Zihuan with a faint smile, and after a while, he nodded in agreement.

  "But recently I couldn't give it to you, have to wait until the flower seedlings here are out and then we can talk about it. If you can wait, then come back in September, if not, then I'm really sorry. Also, 100 strains of Qinglong Womokei, I really don't have that many varieties of flowers here, so the varieties still need to be purchased, but I will arrange for them as soon as possible."

  Cui Jin seemed to have no opinion on this, nodded happily, and then said: "I will help you deal with Yan Qi."

  Cheng Zihan was puzzled, what deep hatred did this Situ Jin have with Yan Qi? Otherwise, why would he come to give her a chance to make money and also deal with Yan Qi?

  Situ Jin seemed to have noticed Cheng Zihan's confusion, gritted his teeth and said something that made Cheng Zihan laugh and cry: "I had some minor conflicts with Yan Qi. Ten years ago, he mocked my big head in front of many people!"

  Cheng Zihan's mouth twitched violently, and she silently turned her face away. In her heart, she couldn't help but feel a little sad for Yan Qi, while also holding back a sarcastic comment: "Situ Jian big brother, your head was originally huge, people who see your broad forehead already feel pressured, do you have to carry such a massive head out and scare people, can't they even talk about it?"

  However, she was just joking. No matter how bad Sze-to's son is, it's his parents' problem and has nothing to do with him. Although it's wrong for him to scare people.

  However, this matter is temporarily settled. Hua Miao and Si Tu Jin will arrange for someone to come over in October, but they won't arrive until after National Day. As for Yan Qi, Si Tu Jin said that he guarantees he will make him leave Wang City within three days.

  Cheng Zihan was half-believing and half-doubting, Yan Qi wasn't a simple person either. Although Si Tu Jian spoke with utmost sincerity, Cheng Zihan still had her doubts.

  But three days later, Yan Qi indeed ran away with a dispirited look.

  Cheng Zihan was at a loss, thinking of going to find Si Tu Jian to ask for clarification, but Si Tu Jian also followed Yan Qi and left.

  These two people...

  Anyway, the problem of Yan Qi has been solved, and Cheng Zihan can also rest assured. As long as Yan Qi doesn't come to stir up trouble, she can safely deliver the goods and receive the remaining payment, and everything will be fine.

  Han Xuan Yan also left Wang Cheng on the same day, and Cheng Zi Han became more and more suspicious. Could it be that this Han Xuan Yan was actually a short-sleeve? And what kind of unclear relationship did he have with Yan Qi?

  The more she thought about it, the more Cheng Zihan felt that this was possible. She thought that when Han Yi returned from America, she would definitely ask him clearly.

  But Cheng Zihan soon forgot about it completely.

  After Yan Qi left, Yan Han didn't dare to bother her casually anymore, and the days passed very smoothly.

  The peony seedlings in the greenhouse have all sprouted, and Cheng Zihan is busy arranging for people to plant them directly into pots. After all 1,000 peony seedlings were potted, the specially customized forty antique flower pots also arrived.

  However, the last batch of seedlings was destroyed by Li Xiaolin, and a new batch has just sprouted, not yet meeting the conditions for potting.

  Cheng Zihan thought for a moment, if she continued like this, by the time it was due, she definitely wouldn't be able to deliver. She couldn't care about that much anymore and hastily took out the Celestial Silkworm Liquid, dripping a bit onto it.

  The next day, the flower buds sprouted immediately, with leaves as green as jade.

  However, Cheng Zihuan did not rush to plant the pot. The seedlings need to grow in the ground for a while before they can be transplanted into the flower pot. Moreover, the soil in the flower pot also has special requirements. If it is ordinary soil, I am afraid that by National Day, it will still not be possible to successfully bloom.

  After the peony seedlings had grown in the greenhouse for ten days, Cheng Zihan arranged for someone to dig some soil in the greenhouse. When the seedlings were dug up, they also brought some mud with their roots and were directly potted.

  The day of delivery has arrived, and because there are too many flower seedlings, they will be transported by freight train, a state-of-the-art transportation train. However, since there is no railway in Wangcheng, the flower seedlings must all be sent to the train station in Nanshi first, and then depart from Nanshi to Beijing.

  This time, because it was a major event, Cheng Zihang and Cheng Hai personally escorted the shipment. The large trucks in the plantation have grown from two to ten since its inception, but even with ten trucks going back and forth, it took over ten trips to finally transport all 5 million seedlings to Nan City.

  After arriving at the train station in Nanshi, the staff counted the number one by one and then started loading.

  Because seedlings cannot overlap, they are afraid of being crushed, and the number of cars in each compartment is not large. A train can't even hold 5 million seedlings.

  Fortunately, the other side had already made preparations and arranged for three trains.

  Because the flower seedlings arrived in Beijing, the other party will confirm that there is no mistake before settling the remaining payment, so as the supplier, Cheng Ziheng's side still needs to arrange two people to go over. Cheng Hai has to stay behind to take care of the planting garden and breeding farm. Qin Kexiu estimates that he can come back to help in two or three days. Cheng Hai stays behind, and the person who goes is naturally Cheng Ziheng, because this also involves financial matters, so Cheng Ziheng brings Xu Yin along.

  After all the flower seedlings were loaded, it was already past three in the afternoon. Cheng Zihan and Xu Yin also boarded the train. Each train had a number of armed police officers protecting it from front to back, because they were afraid that the flowers would be damaged along the way, so each carriage was also arranged with several armed police officers escorting them along the way.

  These seedlings are indeed more precious than human life.

  Cheng Zihan and Xu Yin also boarded the freight train, which was not like a regular passenger train. There were no seats or sleeper cars, making Cheng Zihan and Xu Yin feel very uncomfortable throughout the journey. Additionally, from Nan City to Jing City, taking the train required a whole day and night, during which time Cheng Zihan almost threw up his stomach.

  She had finally arrived in Beijing, but she was already exhausted and disheveled from all the trouble she had been through.

  The two trains in front arrived first and the goods had already been unloaded. When Cheng Zihang and Xu Yin arrived, a group of armed police came to unload the cargo.

  This time, it was actually the armed police who were dispatched to move the goods, and Cheng Zihang was really shocked by the Party Central Committee's wealth and arrogance.

  After getting off the car, Zixuan still had a dizzy feeling, his stomach was empty and very uncomfortable, as if someone's hand was grasping it tightly.

  She didn't care about that much, pulled Xun Yin directly to a noodle shop near the train station and ordered some food.

  "Strange? Didn't they say that Zihan was coming this time? Why can't I see anyone?" Han Xuan stood at the exit of the train station, looking around in confusion, but still couldn't see Cheng Zihan's figure.

  At this time, a armed police officer carrying flower seedlings walked by him and was pulled over by him, "You, say, why didn't the person in charge of the flower farm responsible for transporting the flower seedlings come out?"

  The armed police were startled by Han Xuan's aura and stuttered: "Com, com, Commander, that, Miss Cheng, Miss Cheng, they left from another exit."

  It was not easy to finish a sentence, and before he could react, a gust of wind blew by, and where was Han Xuan's figure?

  Cheng Zihan ate her fill and finally regained some energy. She stretched her waist, this day and night really made her exhausted, now every bone is almost scattered, it's really painful.

  I took a look at the time and it was almost seven o'clock, I reckon the person who came to pick me up should have arrived by now.

  "Come on, Xun Yin, let's go see who's here to pick us up." Cheng Zihan carelessly threw down the money and took Xun Yin out of the noodle shop.

  Cheng Zihan from Beijing had only been to Kyoto more than a decade ago on National Day, but at that time, the city was crowded with people, and she was almost squeezed into a noodle, so she didn't have the mood to appreciate the beauty of Kyoto.

  This time I came again, but with a different identity and mood.

  Every time I come out and see the sky of Beijing, I feel that the sky here is much higher than that in Hong Kong.

  The capital city has not been polluted yet, the air is still fresh. In July, Beijing has already entered summer, and here the four seasons are always very distinct. The wind brings a wave of heat, and even the scent of soil in the air can be smelled.

  Tomorrow is August, and by the end of August, autumn will arrive, and the weather here will be even better.

  The capital has always been a good place for people to live.

  As soon as they walked out of the train station gate, a figure rushed over and ran to the front of the two people. Upon looking up, it was Cheng Zihan.

  "Zihuan, you, you're really hard to find!"

  Cheng Zihan looked at the newcomer with a hint of surprise, and Han Xuan's military uniform made him look even more handsome than before, with an added air of elegance. His whole person looked spirited and full of life, with a hint of innate domineering aura between his eyebrows.

  Unexpectedly, the person who came to pick her up was actually Han Xuanyan!

  Do you have such a big face? Actually sent out the commander of the military region to receive him?

  "Uncle Gan, how could it be you?" Cheng Zihan asked in surprise, still not recovering from the shock.

  Han Xuan Yan hummed and said, "What? Don't want me to come pick you up?"

  Cheng Zihan shook her head honestly, "No, just a little surprised."

  Han Xuan Yan felt a little smug, glanced at Cheng Zi Han, stretched out his hand and pulled her over, embracing her, before walking forward, while Xu Yin was completely ignored by the two as if she were air.

  She nodded hastily and followed, but Han Xuan Yan was really handsome. It was the first time Xu Yin saw Han Xuan Yan, and she was immediately captivated by the aura he exuded from head to toe.

  "This time, the person who was supposed to pick you up wasn't me, but I knew you were coming, so I came myself." As he pulled Cheng Zihang into his car, Han Xuan Yan only then noticed that there was another girl following beside Cheng Zihang.

  The girl looked like she was twenty-three or four years old, born with a refined and elegant appearance, with delicate features, although not extremely beautiful, but still quite comfortable to look at.

  Han Xuan Yan nodded at Xu Yin and instructed the guards behind him to come over and help Xu Yin carry her things. Xu Yin, of course, couldn't get on Han Xuan Yan's car; she sat in the back of a military vehicle specially assigned to pick up and drop off suppliers for this trip.

  Cheng Zihan sat in Han Xuanyan's car, tilting her head to look at him, "Uncle, did you come to pick me up for something?"

  "It's not that I have something on, it's just that someone wants to see you." Han Xuan Yan shook his head and looked at Cheng Zi Han with some concern.

  That pervert wants to see Cheng Zihan, but it's unknown what he's after. The pervert of the Han family has always been unpredictable and even the master of the Han family doesn't give him any face.

  Han Xuanzhao was afraid that Cheng Zihan had unknowingly offended this pervert, and now he was suddenly summoned, so he was naturally worried.

  "Who wants to see me?" Cheng Zihan was puzzled in her heart, thinking that if someone from the Han family wanted to see herself, it would probably be the master of the Han family.

  But she didn't have much entanglement with the Han family either, just being Han Xuan's goddaughter and having a good relationship with Han Yi. Was the head of the Han family interested in her? Or was he interested in her property?

  All the way, Cheng Zihan was guessing about the identity of the person she was going to meet and the reason for meeting.

  The car slowly drove out of the capital railway station, but did not go to the hotel for this reception, and went directly in the direction of Han's home.

  Xu Yin was escorted by the guards to the reception hotel and settled down.

  Cheng Zihan was still thinking about who she wanted to see all the way, but she never thought that this meeting would be a major turning point in her life.

  The car slowly drove into the Han family's large courtyard.

  The Han family's compound doesn't seem like any other ordinary family, this house looks a bit historic, the two stone lions at the entrance are particularly majestic, and on the white exterior wall you can still see the traces of ivy, it is a very typical Suzhou-style garden old house.

  As soon as they entered, there was a courtyard-like front yard. Han Xuanhao stopped the car and led Cheng Zihan out of the car.

  All along the way, the servants of the Han family respectfully greeted Han Xuanzhen.

  Han Xuanzhao didn't respond, leading Cheng Zihan into the front hall, then circling around the corridors, finally arriving in front of a courtyard located at the back of the mansion.

  At the entrance, several bold and vigorous large characters were written with the words "Luotongyuan", the couplet on both sides of the gate was no longer visible, but it could be vaguely seen that the font should have been from the same person's handwriting as the one who wrote Luotongyuan.

  At the door, there are two large clumps of jade bamboo, growing lushly.

  After entering the archway, there is a small garden with various flowers and grasses planted inside.

  Han Xuanzhao came here and unconsciously lightened his footsteps, taking Cheng Zihang around the garden, before finally arriving in front of several rooms.

  He stood still for a moment, composed himself, and then went over to knock on the door of the middle room.

  Cheng Zihan followed Han Xuanshao into the room, and because of Han Xuanshao's serious expression, her heart was hanging in suspense.

  Finally entered the house, the light inside the house was very dim, the windows around were all closed, and only a faint light came in.

  As soon as she entered the house, Cheng Zihan felt a chill run down her spine. Everything here seemed eerie and suspicious.

  "Little uncle, I've brought the person to you." As soon as he entered the door, Han Xuanshao didn't continue walking in, but stood at the entrance and shouted respectfully.

  "En." A low voice came from inside.

  When she heard this voice, Cheng Zihan subconsciously looked over, but the light inside was dim and she didn't see where the speaker was.

  Han Xuanzhao didn't say a word, glanced at Cheng Zihan, and backed out, closing the door behind him.

  As soon as the door was closed, the room became even darker.

  Cheng Zihan's heart thumped as she jumped up, gathering her courage to walk inside. The room was very quiet, with only the sound of her footsteps audible.

  She walked a few steps and then stopped because she had already seen the people in the house.

  He closed his eyes, sat cross-legged in silence, the light in the room was very dim, but it seemed that his body would glow, even in such a dark light, his five senses could be seen clearly.

  But when she saw this person, Cheng Zihan felt like her heart had been hit hard with a hammer, and she stood still in place, unable to move for a long time.

  In his heart, a very familiar feeling suddenly arose, as if this person had known himself since his previous life.

  "You..." Cheng Zihan was just about to speak when the person in front of her suddenly opened her eyes, and a gaze that seemed to carry substantial light shot towards Cheng Zihan.

  Cheng Zihan took a few steps back, unable to speak out of fear, but her heart was racing uncontrollably the moment she saw the eyes of the man in front of her.

  Digression

  Everyone, the power is out. I've only just rushed up here now, making you all wait for a long time. Sorry, sorry. My fault, my fault.
