The reason why Devin is close to Su Nan is not only because of her talent, but more importantly because of Su Nan's family background.

He didn't need the Su family's cosmetic formula and had never shown any interest in it.

But he always knew that the Su family and the Lin family had a relationship, and if he wanted to get the Lin family's formula, it would be most convenient to start with the Su family.

His younger brother sent people to the Lin family, but after years of searching, they still couldn't find the formula.

Devin tried his best to control his facial expressions, making sure Su Nan didn't notice anything.

"How did you get this repair lotion? The Lin family probably doesn't make skincare products anymore..."

He suddenly stopped, realizing that too much talk could lead to mistakes, and he had inadvertently blurted it out.

Su Nan looked at her mentor suspiciously, "You know about the Lin family?"

"Did your father mention the Lin family?"

Devin immediately composed himself. "It's not my father, it's my grandfather."

“He has bought skincare products from Lin Yan Guan. As you know, our Diwen family research institute has been developing skincare-related products.”

“My grandfather had the same repair lotion.”

Su Nan nodded thoughtfully, the strange feeling in her heart dissipating, and she could understand it.

Diwen's grandfather had visited Teng City and even bought products from Fuyuan.

She checked the account books from many years ago and could still find them.

Fu Yuan keeps records of its special guests, and the records of long-term customers are more complete.

Diwen's grandfather bought many products from Fuyuan, covering all categories.

"Then please give it to your teacher's wife first. I'll bring it over when she's finished." Su Nan's lips slowly curved into a smile.

"You still haven't said how you got it?" Devin tried to keep his voice down, but it sounded very urgent.

Su Nan assumed he was worried about not being able to buy it in the future, so she said, "We opened a Lin Yan Pavilion near the bustling avenue, and the products there are the same as before..."

Devon became restless after hearing only the first sentence.

But he couldn't appear too eager at this moment, Su Nan was very wary.

Diwen said, "I'll buy it myself from now on. Repair lotion is probably not cheap, so I can't always let you buy it. Your teacher's wife will nag me if she finds out."

Su Nan readily agreed, but secretly thought she would buy more in the future.

Her mentor treated her like a daughter, and she couldn't pretend not to feel it.

This repair lotion is indeed expensive, but as long as it works, she can afford it.

After chatting for a while, Su Nan left.

After seeing her off, Devon immediately went upstairs, intending to let his wife try out the product first.

How effective is the scar-reducing cream that he's been trying to make for so long?

…

night.

When Lin Ziyan returned to the hotel, the two children were already asleep.

Today, she went to Lin Yan Pavilion with her grandmother. Lu Yunshen took the two children to visit the Jiang family and also took them to the military family compound in Teng City so that Lu's father could see the two children.

This trip to Teng City was not only to show Ah Tai the Lin Yan Pavilion, but also to deal with the lawyer's letter from the S Group.

S Group has a branch office in Teng City, and the court where the lawsuit is being filed is also scheduled there.

When Lin Ziyan came out after taking a shower, Lu Yunshen was washing baby bottles.

“Jiang Dong said that the lawsuit filed by S Group was dismissed by the Tengshi Court on the grounds of insufficient evidence.” Lu Yunshen’s eyes flashed.

Fujishi was not S Group's protector; S Group misjudged the situation.

With Mayor Yi involved, the court dared not be careless and hold a trial casually.

S Group was well aware that it had no chance of winning the case if it were heard in court abroad.

Lin Ziyan walked to the bar and poured two glasses of red wine. "Without Mayor Yi's permission, the court will handle things officially, and they won't be able to file a lawsuit."

Zhang Jiandong told her that Han Renji had poached employees from Hairun's branch office, and several unimportant customer service staff had been poached.

S Group is using a two-pronged approach, filing lawsuits while simultaneously poaching talent, hoping to catch Hairun off guard.

The technical cooperation between T Group and Hairun has not yet been fully announced, yet S Group is already acting desperately?

Lu Yunshen picked up his wine glass, took a sip, and gently swirled it. "After Lin Yan Pavilion opens, won't the person who had Aunt Huang steal the recipe show up soon?"

Lin Ziyan said, "They must be targeting the repair lotion. If it weren't for Atai telling me about its effects today, I wouldn't have known that this repair lotion is actually a scar-reducing cream."

"For use in the palace..."

Later, when they were no longer supplied to the palace, they were displayed and sold at the Lin Yan Pavilion.

Lin Ziyan clearly sensed that Ah Tai's eyes were strange when he talked about the repair lotion.

Today, we opened for business, and the repair lotion is almost sold out. We're currently having the factory work overtime to produce more.

The repair lotion should be out of stock within a few days.

The porcelain jars couldn't be fired in time; we had to wait.

Lu Yun Shen's dark eyes flashed with a dark light, as he looked at the repair cream.

They're incredibly audacious to have dared to infiltrate Fushi for so many years.

"Ah Tai donated the formula to the military, so Lin Yan Pavilion can only sell finished products for now." A glint of light flashed in Lin Ziyan's eyes.

Now, besides her, only Yun Ying knows the truth; even Mayor Yi is kept in the dark.

Possessing a treasure is a crime. If it weren't for this recipe, the Lin family would probably still be in Teng City, just like the Su family.

The Lin family's collateral branches are not scattered in various places, and they cannot be found now.

Lu Yunshen nodded; this was the best way.

If the formula for the repair lotion becomes public, fewer people will be watching the Lin family.

Now that Ah Tai has neither a list nor a formula, it's actually much safer.

"However, those people don't know about this, and they will definitely still make a move."

"Mayor Yi almost fell for their honey trap." Lin Ziyan smiled sarcastically. To put it bluntly, Mayor Yi failed to keep his composure, otherwise those people wouldn't have had the opportunity to make their move.

“We’ll stay in Teng City for a few days and then go back. I just don’t feel safe here.” Lu Yunshen frowned.

The fact that they were able to place someone next to Mayor Yi shows just how strong their infiltration capabilities are.

Fujishi is different from Fukushi; its port is more open and receives more foreign cargo ships.

Moreover, many of them travel to and from various European countries, and are mostly ocean-going vessels.

"Hmm." Lin Ziyan's eyelids twitched, and she suddenly felt a pang of panic.

…

Within the villa area,

Mayor Yi had been working from home all afternoon, and it was already dark when the investigation report arrived.

He's been at home all day waiting for this report.

Yunying took a bottle of red wine into the study, poured two glasses, and handed one to him.

Mayor Yi raised his eyes, the gloom in them quickly dissipating.

"Just as you guessed, they used their honey trap on me."

Yun Ying raised an eyebrow slightly, neither confirming nor denying.

"This honey trap almost got Mr. Yi hooked up with. Tsk, quite impressive." Yun Ying teased. She was in a good mood today and could even joke about it with him.

Mayor Yi's lips slowly curved into a smile as he pulled her into his arms. "Did you find anything else?"

"For example?" Yun Ying hooked her arm around his neck, her smile alluring.

Mayor Yi's gaze fell on the snow-white skin of her chest, his Adam's apple bobbed, and his back stiffened.

Yun Ying noticed his emotions and paused for a moment.

"For example, a beautiful woman taking off her clothes and sitting on my lap..."

Her pupils dilated slightly, and she stared at him with wide eyes.

I never expected his assistant to be so reckless…

"You didn't react?" Yun Ying blurted out.

Mayor Yi shook his head, then nodded.
