Chapter 129: I Have a Way, Trust Me

Lu Sinian, what did you just mean...?

Could it be that the legendary figure is right in front of me? And it’s a woman? This—this, this is impossible, isn’t it?

Analyzing Lu Sinian’s words, he hadn’t misunderstood; yet, it was so shocking that he found it truly impossible to believe. The "Grandmaster of Hades"—that was the legendary Grandmaster of Hades! And it’s actually Mu Yinyin?!

His mind was in a whirl. He couldn't wrap his head around it, nor could he accept it.

Li Ze took a shallow breath and turned his gaze back to Mu Yinyin. "You... you are..."

He couldn’t even bring himself to say those four words.

Mu Yinyin nodded faintly. "It is me."

Li Ze’s eyes widened, his mouth slightly agape, but he remained utterly speechless.

Mu Yinyin spoke again, "I was the one who saved Sinian’s grandfather."

Li Ze drew in a sharp breath, staring intently at Mu Yinyin. He didn’t know how to speak anymore. He had thought that he had lost all chance of ever meeting the Grandmaster of Hades, but... she was right here? Right in front of him?

At this moment, he seemed to set aside all other concerns, looking at Mu Yinyin as he asked slowly, "You, you just said you could save my mother?"

"I can."

"This... this isn't just something you and Qingzhu made up to trick me, is it?" After a long moment of deliberation, Li Ze finally asked the question.

He could be tactful about other things and find ways to resolve them. But this—this was the one thing he could not compromise on, nor could he afford to be lax about.

Lu Sinian turned his gaze toward the man, speaking with a serious expression, "I am here, and President Mu is here. In a matter like this, who among us do you think would deceive you?"

Li Ze was once again at a loss for words. The logic held; both of them were figures of high status and should not be capable of such deception. But his mother’s life was too important; he was truly afraid.

Mu Yinyin looked at Li Ze, her expression earnest as she spoke again.

"You don't have to believe me, but I will contact Sister Wan. You can reach out to her again, and let her confirm it to you from her side. Would that make you believe?"

Li Ze’s eyes lit up. This was a good plan; it provided a double guarantee.

He paused, then looked at Mu Yinyin with a hint of excitement. "Do you really have a way to save my mother?"

"I do." It was only two words, but her voice was exceptionally firm.

Lu Sinian sat to the side, silent. He had provided the introduction; it was time for them to resolve the rest. He began to eat.

Mu Yinyin looked at Li Ze and continued, "I have looked into your mother’s condition. I have a way to cure her. Furthermore, that Green Bamboo really is of no use to her. I don’t know who told you to use that method, but it was nothing more than a desperate attempt to treat a dead horse as if it were still alive."

Li Ze froze and nodded helplessly. "Yes, that professor told me it was the only thing left to try. He had run out of options."

Mu Yinyin nodded. "Yes. I have a way. Trust me."

A look of anticipation grew in Li Ze’s eyes. At that moment, he finally began to accept the fact that the person before him was indeed the Grandmaster of Hades. After all, the method Mu Yinyin had proposed—contacting Sister Wan to have her personally approve Mu Yinyin’s treatment—was highly reliable.

He paused and said to Mu Yinyin, "If you truly can save my mother, I naturally will not use this Green Bamboo, nor will I compete with you for it."

"Very well. After we finish eating, I won’t give you her contact information, just so you won't be suspicious. You can find a way to contact Sister Wan yourself."

"But... Sister Wan doesn't take my calls."

"Give me your phone number; I will send her a WeChat message."

Li Ze’s eyes brightened, and he quickly rattled off his number. He was overcome with joy and couldn't help but say, "Thank you, thank you so much!"

Mu Yinyin coughed lightly. "This is a transaction. You don't need to thank me so much."

"No..." Li Ze shook his head solemnly, looking at Lu Sinian and Mu Yinyin with a serious expression. "It’s different. Honestly, if you wanted to get the Green Bamboo, it would be easy. How could my financial strength compare to yours? You are simply giving me face. This kindness, I, Li Ze, will never forget! In the future, if President Lu or President Mu ever need anything from me, just say the word. As long as it is within my power, I will never refuse!"

Mu Yinyin curled her lips slightly but said nothing.

Lu Sinian smiled. "Since we have reached an agreement, we can sign the contract for that project now."

Li Ze’s eyes lit up even more. He had thought that today’s meeting might be a wash, and he had even prepared various strategies to negotiate with Lu Sinian. He hadn't expected it to go so smoothly... that it would actually be signed.

Not only did they only ask him to give up the Green Bamboo, but they were also willing to treat his mother, and now they had finalized this partnership as well. No matter how you looked at it, he was the one benefiting. The feeling was truly surreal, and his eyes were filled with disbelief.

"Thank you, President Lu, President Mu. Thank you so much. I... I don't even know what to say..."

He had already said everything that needed to be said; any more would only sound redundant.

Mu Yinyin just smiled, saying nothing. She understood how he felt.

Lu Sinian spoke again, "Let’s eat first. Since everything is settled, we can go through the remaining procedures later."

"Understood! President Lu, President Mu, I toast to you!"

"Very well."

With that, they drank a few more glasses. However, since the business was concluded and Lu Sinian was not a heavy drinker, they only sipped lightly and returned to their meal.

Once finished, they left. Li Ze, being a man of keen perception, did not delay them and departed after a few polite remarks.

Of course, his intention was to contact Wan Yu as quickly as possible to solidify the matter. Although Lu Sinian and Mu Yinyin were trustworthy, he wanted to verify it himself to put his mind at ease. After all, this concerned his mother’s life; he could not afford even the slightest carelessness.

Thus, as soon as he stepped out, he contacted Wan Yu. Perhaps because Mu Yinyin had already spoken to her, he was able to reach Wan Yu without issue and received her confirmation. Li Ze could not have been happier!
