If there's a mistake in Chapter 245, it's someone else's fault.
Meng Qingyin walked quickly to the two of them, grabbed Li Er's arm and said warmly, "What a coincidence, I didn't expect you to be here too."
She pulled him to a secluded corner, made sure Zhang Yan couldn't hear their conversation, and then casually asked, "What are you talking about?"
Li Er was baffled: "Of course it's about the deal. We're about to finalize it. What if you suddenly pull me away and ruin my business?"
She started walking towards Zhangyan as she spoke.
Meng Qingyin grabbed her, preventing her from leaving, and hurriedly said, "Don't make a deal with him!"
Lear: "Why?"
Meng Qingyin said, half-jokingly, "He always likes to expose his chest. If you're not afraid of getting a sty, go ahead and do business with him. Don't blame me for not warning you later."
Li Er wore a complicated expression, glanced at Zhang Yan in the distance, and said, "Ah? This... is too difficult to judge."
Meng Qingyin pretended to let go of her hand, "Besides, he's very narcissistic. He can even take off his clothes in front of the monkeys at the zoo. Even his profile picture is a carefully selected selfie. If you look at him again, he might think you can't live without him."
Meng Qingyin's words weren't entirely false; this mix of truth and lies convinced Li Er, who immediately looked away, her tone full of disdain, "Ugh...like she's sick."
"Forget it, I don't need him as a trading partner."
After saying that, she hurriedly left via a side path.
Meng Qingyin breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing Zhang Yan today, she suddenly remembered that she hadn't found any more letters recently, and the secret about Zhang Yan had remained stagnant.
Zhang Yan and Li Er couldn't have remained completely separate forever; they met today, didn't they?
If she hadn't arrived in time today, would those two have talked about the seed collector? Wouldn't that have exposed her impersonation of Zhang Yan?
No, we have to find a way to stop them from contacting each other.
The words I spoke to Lear today only made Lear wary of Zhang Yan.
If Zhang Yan persists, the two might still be able to talk things out.
Zhang Yan also needs to think of a solution.
Sigh, why does she feel like she's the kind of villain in a book who steals someone else's identity?
Meng Qingyin felt somewhat helpless.
Lu Cheng and the others were talking to Zhang Yan, fearing that he would come after them, but Zhang Yan's eyes kept glancing in their direction.
Seeing that Lear had left, he was anxious to catch up.
Meng Qingyin gave Lu Cheng a look, and Lu Cheng immediately let go of Zhang Yan. Zhang Yan chased after him, saying regretfully, "Hey? Why did she leave? Didn't we agree to trade seeds?"
He looked at Meng Qingyin suspiciously and asked, "Did you say something to her? Otherwise, why did she suddenly leave?"
Meng Qingyin felt that her brain had never been working so fast as it had today.
“You can’t buy seeds from her,” Meng Qingyin said earnestly, as if she were doing him a favor. “She’s a completely unscrupulous businesswoman, and her products are very expensive.”
Zhang Yan scratched his head in confusion: "Is it expensive? But a single crop seed only costs one silver coin..."
"This isn't expensive?" Meng Qingyin exclaimed dramatically. "You can buy more than ten different kinds of seeds for one silver coin!"
Zhang Yan suddenly remembered something and said, half-jokingly and half-seriously, "If you hadn't punished me by taking away my seed collector, would I have ended up being scammed like this?"
Meng Qingyin's eye twitched: "...Why don't you blame yourself for committing the same illegal act twice in a row?"
The first time, she did intend to punish Zhang Yan with his seed collector, but it was identified as a valuable resource by the system, so she did not obtain it.
It was only when Erxue took over the enforcement for the second time that Zhang Yan committed the same illegal act again, which caused the protection to fail.
Why doesn't he blame himself, but instead blames her?
Zhang Yan tossed his hair aside, thought he looked cool, and winked at her, saying, "Whatever I do is right. If I'm wrong, it's someone else's fault."
Meng Qingyin couldn't bear to look at him. She kept telling herself to hold back, she had to hold back! She needed to build a good relationship with him to have a chance to uncover more secrets.
Where Zhang Yan couldn't see, she clenched her fists, trying to make her tone sound as natural as possible, "By the way, isn't the next map supposed to be extremely water-scarce? Why did you buy seeds?"
Zhang Yan paused, then raised an eyebrow incredulously: "Don't tell me you believed what Zhou Haihai said."
"Why wouldn't I believe it?" Meng Qingyin retorted.
"He was obviously trying to scam you, and you actually believed him?" Zhang Yan shook his head, his tone seemingly regretful.
Meng Qingyin's mind stirred.
Zhang Yan gets items every time he uses his ability. Could he also have a similar item that can predict new maps?
Otherwise, it wouldn't have been such a coincidence that Zhou Haihai bought seeds and he also bought seeds.
Meng Qingyin: "So what is your purpose in buying the seeds?"
Zhang Yan blinked, then smiled, "It's a secret."
Meng Qingyin: "..."
Damn it, can't she just beat this guy up?
She took a deep breath. "If you want to buy seeds, I can give them to you."
She had collected a lot of crop seeds on the "Fertile Land" map, and could share some with Zhang Yan.
Zhang Yan revealed a smug "I knew it" smile. "I understand your little scheme... Are you jealous that I'm making deals with other women? Do you want to have me all to yourself?"
Meng Qingyin gritted her teeth, "If you think so, then so be it."
Once she finds out Zhang Yan's secret, she'll make him take a good look at himself in the mirror!
“Sigh, I’m just too charming. Women are always chasing after me,” Zhang Yan said, feigning distress. “There’s nothing I can do about it.”
Meng Qingyin was completely numb.
Zhang Yan sighed, rubbed his forehead and smiled wryly, "Fine, I'll do as you say, but I don't like taking advantage of others, so I'll buy your seeds."
Meng Qingyin forced a stiff smile. "One silver coin for ten kinds of crop seeds."
In Zhang Yan's view, her stiff smile was a result of wanting to laugh but not daring to, so he very understandingly said, "I don't think you're in a good state right now for the transaction. Let's wait until this afternoon, and I'll contact you then."
As he spoke, he made a phone call gesture with his hand to his lips, grinning wickedly.
Meng Qingyin maintained that stiff smile until Zhang Yan turned and left, at which point she regained her expressionless demeanor.
Chen Leying and the others walked over. Lu Cheng noticed her pale face and asked anxiously, "What's wrong? Did they find out you were impersonating Zhang Yan? That doesn't make sense. If Zhang Yan found out, why was he so calm? And why did he leave with a smile on his face?"
"Once I find out Zhang Yan's secret, I will definitely give him a good beating."
Meng Qingyin said through gritted teeth.
