Chapter 90: 090 A little shock every day! [2 updates]

Throughout this day and night, Madam Qin had reached out to everyone she possibly could.

Yet after all her efforts, she was still at a dead end.

No lawyer would take the case, willing to defend Qin Xian. Others, too, had clearly heard wind of Bureau 723’s involvement and stayed as far away as possible.

Madam Qin was completely out of options.

But in her desperate situation, her mind became ever more lucid.

The current state of affairs was inextricably linked to one person—

Ye Wanlan.

She was even eighty percent certain that Bureau 723’s involvement was because of Ye Wanlan!

Even though she hadn’t figured out the most critical part of the situation, it didn’t stop her from piecing together the entire logic of events up to this point.

To truly save Qin Xian, she could only ask Ye Wanlan for help.

Madam Zhou and Zhou Hechen both paused in their movements and turned to look at Madam Qin, feeling that she had lost her mind.

Ask who?

Ye Wanlan?

The same Ye Wanlan who dropped out of school for three years to venture into modeling and even willingly became a body double?

"Yuexiu, have a glass of water first," Madam Zhou asked Steward Zhou to pour a cup of warm water, "I know you’re anxious, but that doesn’t mean you should turn to just anyone for help. Don’t you know what kind of person Ye Wanlan is? What’s the use in asking her?"

"Mindan, I’m not talking nonsense!" Madam Qin grew anxious and didn’t bother to drink water. "This time, Qin Xian was foolish to cross Ye Wanlan’s uncle, and Ye Wanlan became angry, leading to the current situation!"

Madam Zhou exhaled deeply, "Even if he did cross her, what does it have to do with such a massive case involving others?"

"Mindan, I came to find Hechen. I think Ye Wanlan has known him for two years, and their relationship must be the closest," Madam Qin took a deep breath, "I want to ask Ye Wanlan to let our Qin Xian go. I promise to throw him out of the country, never to return to Shenzhou."

"Aunt Qin," Zhou Hechen said indifferently, "You’re thinking too much. She doesn’t have the capability, nor the intelligence."

"Hechen!" Madam Qin was so furious it hurt, "I’ve said she’s not at all like what you’ve seen these past two years; she’s cunning and calculating. If we provoke her, all of us combined will just be a plaything in the palm of her hand!"

Why won’t they just believe her?

Zhou Hechen said with a faint smile, "Aunt Qin, you’ve found the wrong person today. I haven’t been in contact with her for over a month, and I don’t wish to see her either."

"Yuexiu, let’s go out for a walk," Madam Zhou suggested, "You’re too anxious, you’re starting to talk nonsense."

She didn’t believe for one second that Ye Wanlan could manipulate them at will.

What did Qin Xian’s case, which was decided by the police, have to do with Ye Wanlan?

"You all..." Madam Qin was so angry she could hardly catch her breath; she suddenly stood up, "Don’t bother accompanying me, I’m leaving."

The door closed behind her.

A mocking curve appeared on Zhou Hechen’s lips, "Mom, I think the Qin Family has really gone mad, daring to go and beg Ye Wanlan."

He knew Ye Wanlan better than anyone. Didn’t he know exactly what she was worth?

"I agree," Madam Zhou’s expression also turned cold, "Aunt Qin is usually intelligent, but too much cleverness led to her mistake. Instead of wasting time begging Ye Wanlan, she’d be better off finding more lawyers."

She didn’t take Madam Qin’s words to heart at all but instead grew to dislike Ye Wanlan even more.

**

The afternoon was scheduled for the mathematics exam. Since the college entrance examination reform to a 3+1+2 pattern, there was no longer a separate test for arts and science streams—all students used the same set of papers.

Ye Wanlan still brought only a transparent stationery bag, lightly geared to take the test.

"Ah Lan, next time we’ll definitely be in the same examination hall," Su Xueqing encouraged her, "You’re so talented, maybe you could even get first in the grade."

Ye Wanlan nodded slightly, "I’ll give it a try."

Xue Yiwei sneered silently, her face expressionless as she entered Examination Hall One.

With her and Su Xubai participating, taking first place?

That was a sheer delusion.

Inside Examination Hall 30, Ye Wanlan took her seat, and when the bell rang, she began to answer the questions.

She worked swiftly, nearly having the answers ready after scanning through the questions.

During the years of repeated time, she had practiced mental calculation extensively. High school level problems indeed posed no challenge to her.

Forty minutes later, Ye Wanlan had completed the entire math paper.

She then picked up her scratch paper and twirled her pen before continuing to write.

The proctor for this exam session was also a math teacher who, observing Ye Wanlan’s fervent scribbling, was somewhat puzzled.

After all, the last examination hall was filled with students who didn’t apply themselves to study. At least during the morning’s language exam, everyone had turned up, but one-third were absent for the afternoon math test.

Was there actually a student this dedicated?

The female teacher silently approached Ye Wanlan’s side, curious to see how well she was doing.

But upon closer inspection, she discovered that Ye Wanlan wasn’t filling in the answer sheet but was writing a long string of numbers on the scratch paper—

3.1415926535897932384626...

Filling an entire page of scratch paper.

Female Teacher: "..."

This student is actually silently writing pi?!

Ye Wanlan noticed her approach and lifted her head, very meek, "Teacher, is it possible to turn in my test early?"

The female teacher regained her composure, "No."

Then she saw Ye Wanlan nod, turn over the draft paper, and continue silently writing pi.

Female Teacher: "..." again.

Normal students generally memorize pi to the seventh decimal place, those interested in mathematics to a hundred places.

But Ye Wanlan had already filled one side of an A4 draft paper, and it was conservatively estimated that there were at least 1500 digits.

The female teacher left Ye Wanlan’s spot in a daze and went to check the papers of other exam-takers.

The five o’clock exam bell rang, and Ye Wanlan turned in her test and left the examination room.

"Student Ye, over here, this way." Rong Yu waved at her, "We’re also off work, let’s take you home."

Ye Wanlan raised an eyebrow and walked over, her hand had just touched the car door next to the driver’s seat when she saw Rong Yu jump up like a rabbit.

"Don’t be nervous, I’m not driving today, just kidding," said Ye Wanlan as she opened the rear car door, calmly, "Doctor Rong has an exceptionally strong jumping ability; you could compete in high jump."

Rong Yu: "..."

He felt he had been made a fool of.

Yan Tingfeng, resting his head on his hand, laughed, his voice was cool and gentle, "Drive safely."

"Of course I’ll drive safely, none of you are touching my car again," Rong Yu huffed, "Last time you raced, you had fun, but my dad nearly killed me, asking if I was aiming for trees when I drove."

Ye Wanlan: "I can explain to Uncle Rong."

"No, no, please don’t, I’m already used to being scolded anyway," Rong Yu waved his hand, then asked with concern, "How did the test go today? Don’t put too much pressure on yourself, as long as you can get one question right, you’re the best."

Ye Wanlan: "It was okay, just that the math paper was too boring, so I wrote pi for over an hour."

Rong Yu: "?"

He swallowed hard, "What did you say you wrote for an hour?"

Writing pi for an hour, how many digits would that be?

"Writing pi is calming," Yan Tingfeng smiled slightly, "When I’m feeling annoyed, I also like to silently write pi."

"Hmm," Ye Wanlan raised her eyebrows, "You understand me."

"I really can’t communicate with you crazies," Rong Yu muttered.

Thirty minutes later, the car arrived at the entrance gate of the Lin Family’s residence.

Ye Wanlan got out of the car, took a few steps, then turned back.

She leaned on the car window, reached out and tapped Yan Tingfeng lightly, "After I finish my exams, I need to take you to get some medicine."

Upon hearing this, Yan Tingfeng was momentarily stunned, then smiled, "Okay, I await Miss Ye’s convenience anytime."

He watched her go upstairs before having Rong Yu drive away.

"Ah Lan is back, just in time. Wash up and sit down, dinner will be ready in ten minutes," Lin Huaijin called out to her.

After a while, Lin Wenli also finished his exam and came back, quickly closing the door, "Dad, the Qin Family people are here."

Lin Huaijin’s expression changed, "What are they here for this time?"

"Ignore them, don’t see them," Ye Wanlan took a pair of chopsticks, "Call the community property management, say there are people with bad intentions wandering around the community, just chase them away."

She knew what Madam Qin was here for.

Madam Qin was indeed one of the few capable matriarchs of wealthy families she had encountered, but unfortunately, their paths did not align.

Lin Wenli nodded, immediately contacted the property management, and had Madam Qin and several bodyguards expelled from the neighborhood.

However, on the way to the next day’s exam, just before entering the school gates, Madam Qin managed to finally intercept Ye Wanlan.

"Miss Ye," Madam Qin’s voice trembled, "I beg you, please show mercy, let Qin Xian go, will you? I promise he won’t appear in front of you again."

Ye Wanlan turned to look at her and suddenly asked, "Madam Qin, this scene must be familiar to you, right?"

Madam Qin was startled, her throat went dry, "What?"

"How many common folks have pleaded with you, have you ever spared them?" Ye Wanlan looked at her calmly, "Aren’t you always used to settling things with money, so how come this time money is no use?"

Indeed, this evoked Madam Qin’s memories because just two months ago, she had used money to solve a family’s issue, making them leave Jiangcheng and never return.

Her time equated to money, and she had no time to concern herself with others.

Granted, she knew Qin Xian acted arrogantly and badly but, after all, he was her child, and she naturally played favorites.

She admitted she never considered other families’ children and Qin Xian on the same level.

Madam Qin lowered her stance even more, "It’s my fault for not disciplining him properly, he was out of his mind. Tell me whatever you want, the Qin Family can provide it!"

"Madam Qin, I’ve said before, I admire you, because you at least have judgment," Ye Wanlan said indifferently, "I hope your judgment continues to be good and can protect the Qin Family’s future."

"What exactly happened to you?" Madam Qin stared at her tightly, her teeth trembling, "The 723 Bureau got involved because of you, right? Otherwise, they would never pay attention to a case in Jiangcheng, what else about you don’t I know?"

"Indeed, there’s something you don’t know," Ye Wanlan’s voice was steady, she turned her head slightly, "It was me who had Shen Que cure your son, all so he couldn’t escape no matter what, are you satisfied now?"
