Chapter 298 The Lan Family in Jingcheng City

Jingcheng City was the capital of Country Hua, as well as the center of politics, economy, and culture.

The northern suburbs were under the mountains where the head of the dragon vein was. There were two groups of buildings built along the hills. On the left was a low-key antique quadrangle, and on the right was a large group of villas.

Shortly after turning left, there were soldiers guarding and checking on the people who went in and out because the people who lived here were all Chinese soldiers. To the right was a smooth way to the residences where the wealthiest people lived.

“Hurry up. Is everything settled?” This night, one of the villas was brightly lit, with uniformed servants running around, for fear that there was something wrong with their work.

“If people see the clamor, they will expect that someone great must be coming.” In front of the French windows on the second floor, a middle-aged man looked at this scene with dissatisfaction.

Behind him, a woman was putting on makeup in the mirror.

“She is great.” The woman was not young, but she was aging well since she had very fair skin. She touched her hair and smiled. “My father made a great effort to find his granddaughter. Of course, she will be a great figure!”

The man sneered, “Your elder brother has been dead for so many years, and God knows where the girl comes from.”

“No matter where she came from, from today, she is the first person of the third generation in the Lan family.” The woman smiled. “As long as my dad recognizes her, no one will doubt her identity.”

The man sighed. “One more person to carve into the inheritance…”

“What are you worried about?” The woman poked his chest. “I am his daughter. After my father dies, I can get nothing more than money, real estate, and some shares of the company. As for the others, they have nothing to do with me.”

The man pinched her shoulders flatteringly. “I understand, but even so, it will be a barrel of money.”

“The people who should be worried are my second brother and younger brother now!” The woman stood up. “Now let’s go to meet my niece, whom I have never met. I hope she won’t let us down!”

The villa door slowly opened, and a long white Lincoln came in. The car bypassed the vast lawn and stopped at the door of the main building.

“Miss Elder, welcome home!”

As soon as the door opened, the servants lined up on both sides bowed down and said. An older man dressed like a housekeeper excitedly looked at the girl getting out of the car.

“Miss Elder, Elder Master has been waiting for you for a long time!”

A Miao looked at these people calmly, but she could not help recalling what happened three months ago.

“They want me to pretend to be someone.” When they returned to Shen Xinglan’s house, everyone gathered around.

A Miao put a few pieces of paper on the table. “The Elder Master of the Lan family in Jingcheng City has been looking for his missing granddaughter for many years. It is a pity that the girl was terminally ill and died in the hospital a month ago.”

“What do they want to do?” He Shishi took the paper on the table while Lil Xi was looking for the information about the Lan family on the computer.

Shen Xinglan held A Miao tightly. “Do they want you to pretend to be the granddaughter?”

“…Yes.”

He Shishi raised the first page with a strange expression. “Look at the photo. You look very much like her.”

“This… this is incredible!” Le Yi took over the photo and looked at it carefully. “But they have different shapes of mouths and noses.”

“Yes, we only look alike at first glance.” Seeing Shen Xinglan strain his body, A Miao patted him. “They said that this granddaughter had disappeared when she was a child, so the Lan family has no idea what she looks like now.”

Shen Xinglan didn’t bother to read the paper. “I won’t let you go.”

“Did they threaten you with us?” Le Yi asked with a dark face. “Don’t worry about us. We can handle it.”

“I can disband the organization.” Shen Xinglan could barely control his emotions. He was going to explode at any moment.

A Miao embraced him. “You have spent a lot of effort and blood to build it. How can you give it up so easily?”

“I won’t let you go,” Shen Xinglan repeated.

The rest all fell silent since they didn’t know what to say.

“I want to know why they want A Miao to go to the Lan family?” Ling Lang broke the silence. “This is the key. If we can achieve their purpose by other means, A Miao will not have to go.”

He Shishi waved the document in her hand. “This information shows that the Lan family has some secrets about… the dragon vein? What is the dragon vein?”

“I found it.” Lil Xi put the computer on the table. “The Lan family is an ancient clan with a nearly 100-year history. They were responsible for building and repairing the Emperors’ Mausoleum in the Qin dynasty and have been very low-key until the War of Resistance.

“They provided great help to the country in that era and began to do business after the reform and opening-up. Now their three generations are living an extravagant life.”

He Shishi frowned. “Where did you find the gossip?”

“The National Special Information Secret Library.”

He Shishi: “…”

“That… What does this have to do with A Miao?”
