Why pull this stunt so late at night?

However, Hou San also knew that it was too late at night for other birds to be seen clearly.

Only nocturnal birds like owls can be clearly seen.

It's a bit creepy.

If there's a next time, oh well, this is fine too.

"Alright, after the black market closes, go and call them to come and retrieve the goods together. Oh, and bring all the money you've prepared. Remember, don't let anyone cause any more trouble."

If you let your subordinates keep an eye on the payments, they might steal them halfway through.

One issue is saving face; the other is that Lao Yang's men might deal with the person involved.

I'm sorry to those who follow me, and I'm also damaging my own prestige.

Iron Tower nodded and said in a deep voice, "Third Brother, don't worry, I'll keep an eye on things myself. We just used family discipline, I believe none of them will dare to lay a hand on us."

After reading these, Gu Yunyang looked away.

On Hou San's side, they didn't dare to confiscate their own belongings.

He could also control beasts, and the fear in Hou San's eyes was so intense that even Tie Ta could see it.

Gu Yunyang naturally noticed it as well.

Hou San wouldn't dare do anything he wasn't sure of.

You can escape the monk, but you can't escape the temple.

Hou San wouldn't just run away with a sum of money; the black market itself could certainly earn him more.

Whether to make a quick buck or a steady, long-term profit, anyone with common sense knows which to choose.

He also knew how to control his greed.

This is why Gu Yunyang felt comfortable shipping the goods first and then collecting payment.

In fact, Hou San was indeed intimidated.

The little schemes that were originally in my heart have been completely put away.

While double-crossing can bring in quick money, it's a deadly business.

Hou San isn't a fool; even a fool couldn't have started this whole mess.

"Although I just bought goods from Lao Yang, it's already enough for me to make a lot of money."

This time, if Lao Yang fulfills all the requests on the list again...

I can earn at least three thousand yuan.

Even if a portion is given as tribute, and after distributing what I receive to my subordinates, I can still keep at least five hundred dollars for myself!

This is no small sum of money.

An eighth-grade worker only earns a little over a hundred yuan, which is a monthly wage.

If he works hard, he can complete two more orders a month, enough for an eighth-grade worker to do for a year.

This is just the batch of goods traded with Lao Yang. He's involved in the black market, and he definitely doesn't only have Lao Yang as a partner.

Many of the vendors who set up stalls on their black market also have to pay money.

The situation is quite tense now; even buying things on the black market requires a fee, plus some fellow villagers who come to sell things.

They can earn quite a bit each month.

Anyway, what he earns in a month is enough for others to earn in several years.

"Forget it, I'll just stick to the basics. It's only because of my good reputation that Lao Yang came to me for cooperation. As long as my reputation isn't bad and I can keep Lao Yang around, that'll be enough for me to make a profit."

Hou San made up his mind that he absolutely must not have any bad thoughts or crooked ideas.

Not only should he not have such feelings himself, but he should also constantly remind his subordinates not to develop such emotions.

It was precisely because of Hou San's idea that he was able to gain a foothold and escape disaster.

Meanwhile, Gu Yunyang had already arrived at the park, groping his way in, and stood on the wall closest to the Gu family's residence.

Gu Yunyang passed through the wall, and once inside, he was at the wall of the Gu family's small villa.

"It's been a long time, Gu Jia."
