Gasp! She's a Time Traveler Using Modern Tech to Improve Ancient Life-Chapter 636 - 634: They Hide While We Are Exposed

The tomb robber on the run engaged in a battle of wits and courage with those pursuing him, each displaying their skills.

This time, it wasn’t easy for him to navigate the network and flee to Yongcheng.

Fortunately, as soon as he arrived in Yongcheng, he unexpectedly encountered Old Pan, whom he immediately sought out.

He was actually quite cautious; the phone was stolen, and the SIM card inside was bought with a fake identity card to avoid being tracked.

Of course, he wasn’t sure if the authorities would use such advanced methods against him. But planning for the worst never hurts.

Before coming to Yongcheng, he had observed for a long time in secret. If he couldn’t target Lu Shouyue, who was heavily guarded and capable of fighting, couldn’t he target the woman Lu Shouyue fawned over?

Initially, their target was the internet celebrity Lin Wanwan, who dared to sell antiques directly, not the enigmatic and financially potent Lu Shouyue.

All of this was caused by that damned internet celebrity Lin Wanwan.

Why would you sell antiques in a small shop if you have a powerhouse boyfriend in the antique world? Isn’t this entrapment!

Of course, it’s too late to complain now; most of the people in their team have already been caught.

Now, the only option is to go all out, with the unchanged goal of slaughtering Lin Wanwan, the fat sheep!

From his research during this time, he found that this internet celebrity had played with wood and jade. She really had a lot of valuable items. She also had a publicly known blue diamond, which was most likely a gift from Lu Shouyue.

As long as he could capture her and force her to hand over the blue diamond, he wouldn’t need anything else; it would be enough. Selling it at a discount on the black market abroad, he could live a carefree life under a new identity for several lifetimes.

The risk of taking action was high, but without taking action, the money he had now wouldn’t be enough to escape abroad, and he’d eventually get caught—a greater risk.

Money is always very useful, regardless of the time.

Sometimes, you don’t need other escape skills; as long as you have enough money, you can do many things effortlessly.

So, he had to take action, not just to vent his frustration.

To ensure everything went flawlessly, he sought out Old Pan to join him.

He wasn’t afraid Old Pan would sell him out because they both had too much dirt on each other. Apart from a cooperative relationship, there was only the possibility of silencing one another. There was absolutely no chance of one selling out to the authorities.

He told Old Pan about the antiques and jade, but the only thing he kept a secret was the blue diamond that appeared in the news.

Once they got the antiques and shared the money, sending someone to the cemetery would be his task. He had enough time to make the captive willingly reveal their secrets.

Early the next morning, Lin Wanwan practiced the inner strength techniques for good health taught by Elder Sun, then got up to call in the cleaning service for a thorough house clean-up.

The cleaner who came was still the same little granny from the clan as before, which made Lin Wanwan feel very assured.

This kind of elderly woman, who had several houses and worked only to stay busy, wouldn’t be tempted by someone else’s belongings at home.

So after greeting the little granny, Lin Wanwan took her dog Fugui for a morning jog. She only returned to the yard after expending Fugui’s abundant energy.

It was still early, so Lin Wanwan took Fugui and drove to the nearby farmer’s market stall to buy breakfast.

The road leading to the middle school had changed rapidly.

Now, apart from the market area, everything else had been transformed beyond recognition.

Since Lin Wanwan gained the ability to travel through time, she rarely came to this side.

She usually visited the import food store in the small plaza up front, buying air-shipped tuna, salmon, and various delicious fresh fruits.

Today, it was a rare visit, and it turned out to be quite an interesting experience.

Her appointment with Lu Shouyue’s mother was at one in the afternoon, so she had plenty of time; when she returned to the villa, the little granny was still cleaning.

Lin Wanwan greeted her and then went upstairs to start focusing on her studies.

Medicinal herbs needed identification, medical books needed studying, farming videos had to be watched, and she even had to read about postnatal care for sows. The estate had white-skinned boar breeding pigs and sows, so Lin Wanwan had to learn and then pass on the knowledge to the easily teachable Great Tang veterinarians. Even if not proficient, she needed to be able to talk about it in theory.

Time flew by while studying; Lin Wanwan didn’t go out for lunch, settling for a takeaway to make do, and then she started picking out clothes and putting on makeup.

For her appointments with ladies, Lin Wanwan always made an effort to dress up a little to show respect. Men didn’t deserve her effort and attention in dressing up, only ladies did.

Lu Shouyue’s mother, Ye Yinyin, always gave Lin Wanwan the impression of a glamorous and exquisitely beautiful woman. With the help of wealth, age was hardly visible, reminiscent of the many ageless goddesses in the entertainment industry.

Except for the Great Tang’s Empress Xiao, Lin Wanwan had never met a more poised beautiful woman than Ye Yinyin.

Even the Empress Zhangsun, due to pregnancy and frail health, was less impressive compared to Ye Yinyin, except in terms of grace.

So going shopping with such a refined lady, Lin Wanwan naturally had to pay attention to her appearance, but she couldn’t dress too formally either, since it was just shopping!

She aimed for an appearance that looked naturally beautiful yet meticulously dressed in the eyes of outsiders.

For these matters, Lin Wanwan was already quite skilled.

She spent an hour on spring-appropriate peach blossom makeup, then went into the wardrobe to choose a floral long dress with white sneakers, carried the bag Ye Yinyin gave her last time, and then went to a hair salon outside to style her hair.

Once everything was set, Lin Wanwan drove to the new city’s Times Square as agreed.

Coincidentally, today Ye Yinyin also wore a floral dress full of spring vibes. Together they looked like in mother-daughter outfits or you could say, sister outfits.

Both of them laughed upon meeting each other, their thoughts were incredibly in sync.

"Auntie, a small token, please don’t mind it. Thank you for the bag you sent through Teacher Lu last time, I really liked it."

Lin Wanwan handed over a specially crafted small paper bag, inside was a Jade Bracelet with inlaid emeralds she brought back from the Great Tang, crafted by an Imperial Goldsmith of the Great Tang.

Compared to the Qing Palace gold bracelet Ye Yinyin gifted her the first time they met, the craftsmanship was equally delicate. As for the value, it’s hard to say; antiques like these only reveal their worth when they hit the auction block. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"My, you thoughtful child, there’s no need to be so formal with Auntie." Ye Yinyin smiled as she accepted it, opened the box, and her eyes flickered with surprise. Without hesitation, she took off an imperial green jade bracelet from her wrist and replaced it with the jade bracelet Lin Wanwan gifted, saying, "It suits my wrist perfectly, Wanwan, you are so thoughtful."

Ye Yinyin put the original imperial green jade bracelet into the box Lin Wanwan brought, turned to hand it to the plainclothed bodyguard quietly following behind, then affectionately linked arms with Lin Wanwan, saying, "Let’s go, Wanwan, we’re going to have a good time shopping inside."
