Lan Yao was unaware of this matter beforehand, but when her left eye saw Lan Xingcheng, it automatically detected the Lan family's inheritance.

Old Man Lan's father was an extremely cautious and prudent man who liked to plan ahead and was also the one who took the Lan family's multiple escape routes to the extreme.

At that time, the Lan family's business was extremely large, so in addition to hiding things in various places in Shanghai, Old Man Lan's father also hid a lot of things in Kyoto and Shenzhen, which he liked.

However, he passed away before he could tell Old Man Lan what was hidden in Kyoto.

So Old Man Lan naturally didn't know, because compared to Kyoto, the Lan family's businesses in Shanghai and Shenzhen were much larger.

He emphasized these two places as examples of his cunning strategy of having multiple burrows.

The part of Kyoto that Old Man Lan had forgotten about was given to his younger brother's family.

Old Man Lan's younger brother is the maternal grandfather of Lan Jiaojiao's best friend.

Looking at it this way, the circle is now perfectly complete.

"...So in the end, it still belongs to me."

Sure enough, my luck with money is amazing.

Jade Pixiu: ? ? ?

Jade Abacus: ? ? ? ?

Jade Abacus: "Master, what did you just say? Panpan didn't hear you clearly."

Lan Yao smiled and stretched: "It's nothing. I just suddenly feel very hungry. I should find a place to have a proper meal first."

The jade Pixiu asked, somewhat puzzled, "Master, you haven't taken away the valuables from those properties of the Lan family yet. Is it alright for you to go eat like this now? Don't you still have to keep an eye on those people in Ancheng?"

Lan Yao: "The reason I didn't take those obvious properties of the Lan family is because I want to rest for a while. I'm not made of iron. Anyway, they're not going to run away. Do you think I'd let what belongs to me get lost?"

Jade Pixiu: "...Master, what you say and what you do are completely contradictory. You even moved the things that the Lan family had hidden in secret before."

Lan Yao found a state-run restaurant to eat at. The waiters' attitude was still not good, but compared to the waiters in Shanghai, their attitude was still relatively polite.

She ordered the braised prawns, oyster omelet, braised pork belly, and stir-fried cabbage with vinegar that were available today, and also asked the waiter to pack several of the same dishes to go.

Lan Yao slowly explained, "Because I had a feeling I might not have time to come back and get it later."

Jade Pixiu: ...

You're making this up!

However, upon closer reflection, it's understandable that the owner has time to take her own belongings beforehand, and who knows what might happen at night.

Lan Yao saw that the jade Pixiu was silent and was just about to enjoy her meal when she heard her neighbor ask, "Is what happened in Baihe Village true?"

“It’s true!” The man glanced around and lowered his voice. “My neighbor’s niece went home to visit relatives a few days ago, but she never came back. Her husband was worried and went to look for her, but he didn’t come back either.”

"Ah, this..."

"Speaking of which, when I was a child, I heard from my elders that Baihe Village was once the fiefdom of a certain prince. Back then, he wanted to rebel and secretly amassed a lot of wealth. Later, he died unexpectedly, and the wealth he had hidden disappeared along with him."

"Now that you mention it, I remember that before liberation, Baihe Village was a bandit stronghold. Because of its advantageous geographical location, quite a few wealthy merchants were robbed and plundered at that time..."

"Yes. After liberation, many people visited that village, but it was all talk and no action..."

Lan Yao listened with great interest and wanted to hear more, but unfortunately, the other party had already finished eating and left.

Lan Yao could only eat the braised pork with a regretful expression. Hmm, this braised pork was better than the one on the train.

There was no porky smell, and the fat had been stewed until it melted in your mouth. The sauce was on the sweeter side but not greasy. The lean meat was also very tender and soft. The dried bamboo shoots at the bottom of the plate were soaked in the broth and were very fresh. The broth itself was also delicious and perfect for eating with rice.

Lan Yao finished five bowls of rice before patting her belly, completely satisfied.

As for braised shrimp, oyster omelet and stir-fried cabbage with vinegar, needless to say, the shrimp are braised in oil until they are red and shiny, plump and juicy, and chewy, clearly freshly caught.

The oysters are plump and delicious, creating a wonderful contrast with the oil. The specially made dipping sauce balances the oily taste perfectly without making it greasy.

Stir-fried cabbage with vinegar is very tangy and refreshing, a dish that easily cuts through greasiness and goes well with rice. It's the perfect accompaniment to braised pork.

Lan Yao's appetite earned her several eye-rolls from the restaurant staff, who looked quite disgusted.

Lan Yao didn't care at all, and was even more glad that she had packed several portions, even though the waiter kept rolling his eyes at her.

For the sake of the food, Lan Yao let her off the hook, but that didn't mean she wouldn't play pranks on her.

For example, make her have diarrhea or something...

There's nothing we can do; that's just how magnanimous and kind she is.

After enjoying such a delicious meal, Lan Yao still wasn't satisfied, so she went to a small shop and tried their new seafood dumplings for the day.

Lan Yao was extremely satisfied with the seafood dumplings with several different fillings. She was so excited that she ran to the port to buy more seafood.

It was almost afternoon, and there weren't many people selling seafood at the port at this time.

Lan Yao didn't care about any of that and went from stall to stall, when she saw a lot of people gathered around one stall.

Lan Yao wasn't particularly curious, nor did she really want to watch the excitement, but she inexplicably walked over.

"Hey, I've got my eye on this batch of seafood you caught today. I advise you to be sensible and let me buy it all. Otherwise..."

"Not for sale!" The person called Hua Niu refused angrily.

"Not selling? You little bitch, I'm really giving you face. You're going to sell it to me today, whether you like it or not! Brothers, move it out of here."

Hua Niu stood up, blocking her stall, glaring angrily: "You dare?"

"Heh, did you all see that? This little wench dares to talk back to me?"

"Brother Qiang, why waste your breath on her? Brother Cheng is waiting for our delivery."

Upon hearing "Brother Cheng," Lan Yao instinctively scanned the area with her mental energy and, through the memories of those people, discovered that they were indeed An Cheng's subordinates.

However, Ancheng had people keeping an eye on this little girl named Hua Niu, especially the seafood she salvaged.

That's really interesting.

Lan Yao raised her hand and wiped her face, instantly transforming into a fierce and mean-looking old woman.

She bent over, pushed through the crowd, and said fiercely to Hua Niu, "How much are these seafood items? I want them."

Everyone was stunned for a moment, then the man called Brother Qiang roared fiercely, "You old hag, you're trying to steal from me? I think you're asking for death."
