Yaming Arc - The Grand Plan

(This prequel to Yaming was written at the request of a Yaming fan and will conclude in approximately 3-5 chapters.)

"Lin, don't go back today," a gentle female voice said.

"I can't, Mom. I've already made plans with someone else. Just let me stay there and play for half a year," Lin said, acting spoiled as she leaned into her mother's embrace.

Unable to resist, her mother nodded in agreement. She took a thick stack of cash from her handbag and said, "Have Uncle An take you there, and don't let your father know."

Lin giggled as she took the money, scrambled up from her mother's lap, and ran outside the room, shouting, "Uncle An! Uncle An! Let's go, Mom agreed!"

An hour later at the airport, Lin was packing her luggage. It was clear that because she had been in such a rush, she hadn't brought many things, but the current situation made it impossible for her to go back and get them immediately.

Uncle An was a very kind middle-aged man who had been with the Lin family for twenty years. This time, he was responsible for safely delivering Lin to the protection of another butler at their home in China.

Standing by her luggage, Lin looked at Uncle An, who was glancing around, and asked, "Uncle An, are you going to take me all the way to Aunt Liu's? Actually, I could go by myself; it's not like I haven't been there before."

Uncle An smiled and replied, "This is your mother's order, so you must obey it properly, Miss Lin."

Lin giggled, stuck out her tongue, and said nothing more.

On the plane, Uncle An sat beside Lin, sipping coffee. He watched quietly as Lin, who had fallen asleep leaning on his shoulder, rested—this girl he had raised since she was small...

Uncle An fell into deep thought and didn't notice that Lin, whom he had been watching the whole time, had woken up. Lin laughed and asked, "What's wrong, Uncle An? Is there something on my face?" This startled Uncle An so much that he nearly spilled his coffee.

Feeling a bit embarrassed, Uncle An finished his coffee in one gulp and said, "It's nothing. I was just thinking about when you were little. I can't believe thirteen years have passed just like that. The wild little girl has turned into a spoiled princess now, haha."

Lin smiled and said nothing. To her, with her father working away year-round and her mother busy managing the family business, it was Uncle An who had looked after her since she was a child. Whenever she encountered something sad in the past, she would always run to Uncle An to cry...

After a long, quiet moment between them, Lin finally asked, "Uncle An, why won't Dad let me return to China now? Portugal is so boring, and everyone is clearly in China."

Uncle An sighed and said, "I don't know the specifics, but it seems someone wants to target our family. But don't worry, our allies are all around the place where you'll be staying, so there's no need to worry about that. Besides, I might stay there as well."

Lin happily grabbed Uncle An's arm and said, "Great, great! If you stay there, I'll feel at ease. Haha, I can have a good time again."

Meanwhile, in the conference room of the Lin family's main residence in Portugal.

Lin's mother, her father, and a young man were present.

Her father asked in a stiff tone, "Has that foolish child Lin left yet?"

Her mother replied very gently, "Yes, An took her over. She won't be back for about half a year."

Her father closed his eyes and said heavily, "She isn't coming back. You don't need to think about her anymore!"

Her mother was shocked and asked, "Why? What are you trying to do? Didn't you say that just letting her leave Portugal would be enough? She is your daughter! Yu Qiuhua, what exactly are you trying to do?"

Yu Qiuhua remained very calm as he looked at the young man standing beside him and said, "The Yu family will be handed over to Qiuxuan when the time comes, and as for Lin, I have given her to the head of the Ou family." Upon hearing Yu Qiuhua's words, her mother stood up in a rage and shouted, "You animal!! You will face retribution, and so will the Ou family!!! Give me back my daughter!!! Yu Qiuhua!! You animal!!"

Yu Qiuhua ignored his furious wife and continued, "The reason the Ou family agreed to cooperate with us is because of Lin. Don't worry, she will only suffer for a little while..."

At this point, the young man spoke up and asked, "Why choose Lin and not me?"

Yu Qiuhua stood up and stroked the young man's hair, saying, "You fool, you are my son. How could I let you suffer?"

The young man nodded, as if he understood something.

One day later, somewhere in Hunan, China.

Lin was on the phone with her close friend.

"I'm back. Let's meet up tonight."

"Yeah, yeah! You finally came back. Are you in good shape?"

"Very good, no problems at all. I can have a great time."

"Good, that's great. Did you bring anything back?"

"No, sorry. I'll definitely bring you something next time."

"Forget it. I'm so looking forward to tonight. You just got off the plane, go get some rest."

"Alright, I'm going to take a shower."

"Okay, see you then."

"Yeah, see you then."

Lin hung up the phone first and began to change her clothes to take a shower.

At the same time, in a certain room.

The person who had hung up the phone said nervously, "She said it's the worst-case scenario. She doesn't have a single helper, and she's going to be taken away immediately. Should we still proceed with the plan?"

The person lying on the bed replied, "Don't be anxious. Ye Zi, go notify those who are monitoring the Ou family. If you spot Lin, snatch her away by force immediately. Everything else proceeds according to the original plan. Everything is ready, right? Whether we can save Lin depends on these next twenty-four hours."

Everyone in the room nodded in unison.

Half an hour later, in Lin's room, she had just finished showering and changing her clothes. Now, she had to recalculate her original plan. To prevent any mistakes, even if she were to fail in the end, she could not let the others be exposed. That way, even if she died, they would find a way to avenge her...

"Lin, are you finished washing up?" It was Uncle An knocking at the door.

Lin tidied her hair slightly and said, "Yes, come in."

Uncle An walked slowly into the room, holding a glass of Lin's favorite grape juice. When Lin saw the juice, she said silently in her heart, So, let it begin. What is it that truly overcomes everything? I will not regret this. Even if I die, the rest is up to you all...

Taking the grape juice, Lin smiled brightly at Uncle An and said, "Uncle An, you're still the best to me, knowing that this is my favorite..."

One minute later, Lin fell into a deep sleep.

Five minutes later, Lin was transported to a secret location.

Twenty minutes later, Lin was moved to another location.

Forty minutes later, Lin was moved for the third time.

An hour and a half later, Lin was moved for the final time.

Two and a half hours later, Lin woke up...

"Report, the target has been moved and is currently heading to location B. Personnel at location B, please be advised."

"Report, the target is currently stationary at location B."

"Report, the target has departed again. The intended destination is location E."

"Wait, Team One, follow them! Team Two, remain where you are!!"

"Copy that, Team Two continuing observation."

"Teams Four, Five, and Six, remain at the target location. Team Three, clear locations C and D."

"Copy that, carrying out the mission immediately."

"Report, the target has appeared at location B again. Expected to head to location F."

"Very well, Team Two, follow them. Reserve Team One, clear location B."

"Report, the target is stationary at location E. Target individual not found!"

"As expected. Team One, continue monitoring location E. Reserve Team One, report."

"Reserve Team One reporting, location B has been cleared. Awaiting orders."

"Very well, Reserve Team One, proceed to location E immediately to clear the area."

"Report, locations C and D cleared."

"Teams Four, Five, and Six, proceed to locations J, K, and L to await orders."

"Copy that."

"Report, the target has arrived at location F. Target individual confirmed."

"Team One, proceed to location F immediately."

"Copy that."

"Report, Team One has arrived at location F."

"Report, Team Four has arrived at the designated location."

"Report, Team Five has arrived at the designated location."

"Report, Team Six has arrived at the designated location."

"Very well, continue monitoring the target's movements."

"Report, the target has been moved. Expected to head to location K."

"Team One, follow them. Team Two, remain on standby. Team Three, take the long route to location V. Teams Four and Six, clear the target location in twenty minutes, then proceed to location V."

"Copy that."

"Report, location E has been cleared."

"Reserve Team One, come to headquarters. Team Five, proceed to location M."

"Copy that."

"Report, the target has arrived at location K. Target individual confirmed."

"Very well. Team Two, clear location F, then proceed to location K."

"Report, Reserve Team One is expected to arrive at headquarters."

"All teams, proceed according to the predetermined plan. Report any emergencies immediately."

"Copy that."

The young man lying on the bed sighed and said to the others beside him, "It's over now. Let's move out."

Elsewhere, Lin was strapped to a chair, completely exposed, her perfectly developed figure laid bare before the eyes of one man: the head of the Ou Family, Ou Luo, a psychopath with perverted hobbies.

"Mmm, where is this?" Lin said the moment she regained consciousness.

"Welcome, Miss Lin, my favorite. You are currently on a mysterious stage, and soon you shall offer everything you have to me, the one before you." Ou Luo's voice was sinister and revolting, snapping Lin to full alertness instantly.

Lin tried to move her limbs and scanned her surroundings, then said with ease, "So that's how it is. Even Uncle An has abandoned me."

Ou Luo walked up to Lin, crouched down, and laughed loudly. "Hahaha, hahah! How does it feel to be abandoned? Miss Lin, want to cry? Then cry out loud!"

Lin glared at Ou Luo, her eyes fierce, and said calmly, "Uncle Ou Luo, how about we make a deal?" Her demeanor was impeccable, perfectly composed, with no hint of pretense.

Ou Luo was somewhat surprised, and he said gleefully, "What kind of deal? Tell your uncle about it!"

Lin forced a smile and said, "I've heard that Uncle Ou Luo
