"Of course. If you don’t believe me, Mr. Lin, you’re welcome to come back tonight and see. I wouldn’t be foolish enough to tell a lie that’s guaranteed to be exposed, would I?"
Wang Minli spoke with such conviction that, with his keen eye, Lin Yan couldn’t detect any sign of deception.
"So once night falls, they’ll all start to glow?"
Something seemed to occur to Lin Yan, and he asked again for confirmation.
"That’s right."
Wang Minli, oblivious to the shift in Lin Yan’s mood, answered honestly.
’Since Miss Yun was bold enough to have us openly plant the Moonlight Grass in the neighborhood’s green spaces, she must have already thought about this.’
"I may have to report this. Could you please let Miss Yun know?"
Having discovered such a magical plant, it was impossible for Lin Yan to simply pretend he’d seen nothing.
"What are you trying to do?"
Wang Minli finally realized that this Lin Yan probably had designs on their Moonlight Grass.
"Rest assured, I won’t do anything that would harm Miss Yun.
Here, why don’t you call Miss Yun right now? Ask her if I have her permission to report this matter regarding the Moonlight Grass."
’Yun Zijin still has those seven bodyguards. Even if the higher-ups found out about the Moonlight Grass, they wouldn’t take too hard a line with her.’
’Based on his recent interactions with Zero One and the others at the department, Lin Yan believed that with a single word from Yun Zijin, they would abandon their collaboration with the department in a heartbeat.’
’He had no idea where Yun Zijin found these people; every single one of them was more capable than many in his own department.’
’And these incredibly capable people were content to be mere bodyguards at Yun Zijin’s side.’
Wang Minli eyed Lin Yan with suspicion, but ultimately took out her phone and called Yun Zijin.
Yun Zijin was in her workshop, about to make some Rose Essential Oil, when the call from Wang Minli came in.
’As a friend, there wasn’t much else she could do to help with Su Mengyao’s store opening, but she could at least make her a few more bottles of Rose Essential Oil.’
Seeing Wang Minli’s name on the caller ID, Yun Zijin put down what she was doing and answered her phone.
"Hello, Mrs. Wang..."
The moment Yun Zijin answered, Wang Minli explained that Lin Yan wanted to report the Moonlight Grass.
Yun Zijin was a little surprised to hear this. She hadn’t expected anyone to notice the Moonlight Grass so soon.
Yun Zijin didn’t mind him reporting it, but if he were to ask for seeds, she didn’t have any to give.
After planting them at Jade Lake and Villa No. 1 of Xingyu Mansion, she had run out of Moonlight Grass Seeds.
’Even if someone wanted to research them, they would only be able to get their hands on mature plants.’
"It’s fine. Don’t worry about what he wants to do. You can just tell him I’ve already planted all the seeds I had in the green spaces."
Wang Minli had the phone on speaker, so Lin Yan heard everything Yun Zijin said.
Lin Yan’s mood brightened considerably knowing that Yun Zijin didn’t mind him reporting the matter, but he felt a pang of disappointment upon hearing she had no seeds left.
’Still, all in all, at least he’d have something to report when he got back today.’
As for Wang Minli, her task was complete after escorting Lin Yan to the community gate.
On her way back, Wang Minli took a detour down a path lined with Moonlight Grass. Staring at the unremarkable plants, she really couldn’t fathom Lin Yan’s excitement.
’But she quickly put it out of her mind. She was just the housekeeper hired by Miss Yun. When it came to her employer’s affairs, all she needed to do was listen, observe, and ask few questions.’
