Since Chuzheng was capable and offering a good price, Barite had no reason to refuse.
Upon leaving the room, Jiang Ye couldn’t help but pull her aside: “What are you going to do with so much merchandise? Even if you have the money, how long will it take you to sell all these goods?”
The problem now was that she didn’t have any territory of her own.
Selling goods on someone else’s turf broke the rules and could lead to various problems, a loss not worth the gain.
“… Hand it over to the state,” she said. There was too much, and dealing with it was a bit troublesome.
“What?”
Chuzheng nodded to herself, feeling that her idea was excellent.
Perfect!
Jiang Ye was baffled, wondering why she was nodding her head! Why are you nodding your head! Do you really think your idea is brilliant?!
“No.” Jiang Ye caught up with Chuzheng: “What are you thinking?”
“Saving trouble.”
I’ve spent the money, and now you want me to earn it back?
No way!!
Not even if hell freezes over!
Jiang Ye talked with Chuzheng for a long time, but she was completely unmoved and determined to go ahead with her plan.
After a moment’s thought, Jiang Ye stopped trying to persuade her.
This was her business…
“What do we do now?”
Chuzheng didn’t answer him, her cold gaze passing over him and settling on the scene ahead.
Jiang Ye instinctively sensed danger and followed Chuzheng’s gaze.
At the end of the corridor, people from the Sirius organization blocked their escape, their shadows cast on the walls like specters.
The leader, a tall figure of 1.9 meters with a sullen face and a strange tone, asked, “Miss Sheng, may I have the honor of speaking with you for a moment?”
Chuzheng kept her composure: “No.”
The 1.9 meter-tall man sneered and gestured to the people behind him: “Seize her.”
The shadows on the wall moved quickly, darting towards Chuzheng’s side.
Chuzheng: “…”
All these grown men, taking on a girl like me, is that appropriate? Have you no shame?
Chuzheng, frightened, kicked the first person who got close, pulled Jiang Ye back with her, and quickly pushed open a door; she shoved Jiang Ye in and closed the door.
Her actions were smooth and swift, executed in one fluid motion.
Locked in the room, Jiang Ye’s heart raced, but the door wouldn’t budge.
He could only hear a muffled commotion outside.
Unable to open the door, Jiang Ye pressed his ear against it to listen.
The sounds of a struggle continued for a while, then everything outside went silent.
Then his door was pushed open, and Jiang Ye stepped back as Chuzheng dragged the 1.9 meter-tall man into the room.
Looking outside, Jiang Ye saw an empty corridor, not a soul in sight.
They ran away?
Chuzheng threw the 1.9 meter-tall man onto the floor and stepped on his chest: “What do you want with me?”
The man, having experienced who knows what, now had his eyes bulging with panic, and seemed to have forgotten how to speak.
Chuzheng leaned down, her face reflected in his wide-open eyes.
“I’m asking you a question.”
All of a sudden, the tall man started to thrash and scoot backwards, his forehead beading with cold sweat: “I don’t know… I don’t know anything, stay back, leave me alone, leave me alone!”
The sight of a big man lying on the ground, crying out to be left alone, was indeed strange.
Chuzheng ferociously kept her foot on the 1.9 meter-tall man: “I’ll ask one more time, why did you come for me?”
Aside from saying he didn’t know, the man kept begging her to leave him alone.
Chuzheng searched him and found a hidden mobile phone.
There wasn’t much information in the phone.
But there was a text message.
— Find out where the goods are.
Goods?
What goods?
Me?
What do I have?
I just have money!
Chuzheng showed the message to the 1.9 meter-tall man: “You took me for this?”
The man nodded his head.
“What goods do I have here?”
The man swallowed hard, looking at Chuzheng as if she were a monster: “The goods… the goods Yin Hong gave you.”
The goods Yin Hong gave her, wasn’t that just a batch of fabric?
All this trouble for a batch of fabric?
Is that interesting?
Mobsters sure know how to play.
Chuzheng thoughtfully looked at the text message on the phone screen.
“What do you have in your possession?” Jiang Ye leaned over, asking curiously, “Worth them going through so much trouble to find you?”
Chuzheng: “…” Would you believe it if I said it’s just a batch of fabric?
Even the 1.9 meter-tall man didn’t know what was special about that batch of goods.
He was just sent by his superiors.
