Jasmine was stunned at first when she heard this, but then a cunning gleam flashed in her eyes, as if she had found an opportunity to counterattack.
She straightened her waist, a provocative smile on her lips, and said, "Okay! Consultant Lin, let's bet, who's afraid of who? But I have to remind you, Hanba is extraordinary. If you lose, don't regret it!"
"Haha, don't worry, Miss Jasmine. I, Lin Han, never regret anything I do." Lin Han smiled heartily, with determination and confidence flashing in his eyes.
"Forehead……"
Seeing this, Mr. Yan and Wu Hao looked at each other, feeling a little amused.
Elder Yan coughed lightly, trying to lighten the mood. "Advisor Lin, this bet is a bit too frivolous. You'd better consider it carefully."
"Mr. Yan, it's okay." Lin Han smiled faintly and waved his hand.
"If that's the case, then... I was overthinking it." Seeing Lin Han's persistence, Yan Xuelin stopped talking, thinking to himself that this young advisor possessed not only unfathomable strength but also a formidable character. He was a trustworthy helper. He stroked his beard, a look of approval in his eyes.
"Brother Wu Hao, when are we leaving?"
Lin Han turned and asked Wu Hao.
Wu Hao heard this, glanced at the time on his watch, and slowly said: "Advisor Lin, you should have a good rest tonight. I will send a team to pick you up early tomorrow morning."
"Oh, right..." Lin Han suddenly seemed to remember something and continued, "Brother Wu Hao, do you mind if I bring one or two more people with me?"
"Consultant Lin, who is that?"
Wu Hao was stunned and asked quickly.
"The Maoshan Sect elder in my clinic—Lin Jiu, whom I call Uncle Jiu."
Lin Han said lightly.
"Oh...it's that guy." Wu Hao thought for a moment, then asked, "Who else? Consultant Lin."
"There is another one, I am not in a position to reveal his identity, but... his strength is also pretty good, and he can be considered a great help." Lin Han smiled faintly, he couldn't help but think of Xiao Ha who had turned into a human form, that is, Lin Hao.
"It's okay, Consultant Lin, you can bring whoever you want." Wu Hao agreed readily. He had full trust in Lin Han's decision.
"Okay, that's settled then." Lin Han nodded, already having a plan in mind.
"Advisor Lin, it's getting late now. Do you need me to arrange for someone to drive you back?"
Wu Hao asked with concern.
"Don't bother. I just finished eating skewers with my brother and I'm still full. I'll take a stroll back to digest the food. Mr. Yan, Brother Wu Hao, and someone else, you should go back and rest early. Tomorrow is a tough battle!"
Lin Han looked at the three of them, his face filled with ease and confidence, as if the upcoming challenge was just a part of his daily life.
"Okay, Mr. Yan, Brother Wu Hao, someone, I'm leaving first." After saying that, Lin Han glanced at Yan Lili, then turned around and disappeared at the end of the alley with brisk steps, leaving behind a string of hearty laughter that gradually dissipated in the night.
Yan Lili looked at his departing back, and a complex emotion inexplicably surged in her heart.
"Grandpa, do you think he can succeed?" Jasmine asked softly, with a subtle hint of worry in her voice.
Yan Xuelin was silent for a moment, then looked deeply in the direction where Lin Han had left. He slowly spoke, "Advisor Lin's strength is unfathomable. Judging from his reaction and confidence just now, he is not blindly arrogant. Moreover, his willingness to take the initiative to bring help shows that he has carefully considered this mission. We just need to wait and see and trust in his ability."
Wu Hao nodded in agreement, "Yes, I have always admired Consultant Lin's abilities. With his help this time, the drought problem might be easily resolved."
"I hope so." Jasmine whispered to herself. Although she was still stubborn, her attitude towards Lin Han had quietly changed in her heart.
"Okay, Lily, let's go back to the hotel and rest..." Old Yan patted Yan Lili's shoulder gently, his tone full of love.
"Hmm..." Jasmine nodded slightly, and took a last complicated look at the direction where Lin Han disappeared. Then, she followed her grandfather and Wu Hao, slowly walked out of the alley and headed towards a military jeep parked on the side of the road.
As the night deepened, the streetlights on both sides of the street were dim and mottled, stretching their shadows long.
Jasmine sat in the back seat of the car, looking out the window at the street scenes passing by, feeling mixed emotions.
"Lily, what are you thinking about?" Yan Xuelin sat in the passenger seat, observing his granddaughter's expression through the rearview mirror, and asked softly.
"Mr. Yan, this girl must be thinking about Consultant Lin!" Wu Hao couldn't help but joked.
Jasmine blushed slightly when she heard that, and she spat softly: "Brother Hao, what nonsense are you talking about! I don't miss him at all!" Although she said this, her eyes drifted involuntarily to the window, as if she wanted to catch sight of that confident and determined figure again.
"Tsk tsk... Look at you, your face is all red, and you still refuse to admit it!" Wu Hao continued to tease with a playful smile on his face.
Seeing this, Jasmine buried her head in her hands out of shame. The laughter of her grandfather and Wu Hao made her feel even more embarrassed.
……
Back at the hotel, Jasmine tossed and turned in bed, the image of Lin Han constantly resurfacing in her mind. His confident smile, resolute gaze, and unhurried demeanor all shocked her like never before. She suddenly realized that she had developed a strange feeling for this man.
"Ah, damned stinky man! stinky man... how could he make me feel this way..." Jasmine cursed inwardly, yet she couldn't help but let a smile slip across her lips, a smile she barely even noticed. She reached up to cover her burning cheeks, trying to suppress the sudden surge of emotion, but the harder she tried, the stronger the feeling grew.
"How could I, Yan Lili, fall for such an arrogant guy?" she muttered to herself, but then she remembered Lin Han's composure and confidence when facing Hanba, and a hint of admiration rose in her heart. She admitted that Lin Han did have a unique charm that attracted her. Both his strength and his personality made her curious and fascinated.
at the same time.
“Yawn!”
Lin Han couldn't help sneezing as soon as he stepped into the living room. He rubbed his nose and said to himself, "Who is thinking about me in the middle of the night? Could it be that girl..."
"Brother, you're back." Lin Hao jumped up from the sofa, looking at Lin Han with a smile, still holding half a piece of chocolate in his hand.
"Uh..." Lin Han frowned, and then handed the packaged roast chicken to Lin Hao, "Here, I just bought you a roast chicken on the way back. Eat slowly, it's a little hot."
