Song Yan was certain that he had killed these people, and current criminal investigation techniques could not trace it back to him.

But Song Yan wouldn't do that; she's not a judge, not a tribunal.

Song Yan walked out of the house, with Gangzi following behind him.

Song Yan: "How many black markets are there in the city? Who is in charge of them? What are the people in charge like? Tell me."

Gangzi wiped his sweat. "Grandma, I'll tell you everything I know. Just please don't knock me out. I have to escape, and I have to escape far away. I can't fall into Chu Shaowei's hands; he can kill me. He came with me, and he suffered such a great loss. He won't let me off the hook."

It's quite cold outside. Does she want to stand here freezing? Song Yan went inside and kicked each of them, knocking them all unconscious. She didn't like these people hearing what she said.

“Let’s talk about him first. What’s his name? He’s done a lot of heinous things, hasn’t he?” Song Yan pointed at Chu Shaowei.

"His name is Chu Shaowei, everyone calls him Boss Chu. He does all sorts of heinous things, but I've never seen him so furious and reckless before. What exactly does he do? Only his two closest confidants know. I run errands for him. I think he doesn't just make money on the black market. You know, the black market has all sorts of things. Quite a few old items have ended up in Chu Shaowei's hands and I've never seen him sell them again. I think the money he earns is handed over to the authorities, but I don't know where it goes. He's ruthless, and he likes to do things behind people's backs. Grandma, you should be careful of him in the future..."

"You want me to kill him to prevent future trouble, is that it?" Song Yan's words sent a chill down Gangzi's spine.

"How dare I? I only told you what I knew, Grandma," Gangzi's attitude became even more respectful. Gangzi did hope that Song Yan could kill Chu Shaowei, but he dared not encourage her to do so. That would be courting death.

Gangzi carefully explained the city's several black markets to Song Yan. Song Yan listened attentively.

According to Gangzi, Cao Zhang, the most trustworthy person in the South City black market, is the one who keeps his word the most. Therefore, the South City black market is the largest. Gangzi offered to help contact Cao Zhang if Song Yan still had any goods.

Song Yan disliked these words immediately. "If you were able to make connections, why didn't you do it sooner? Why introduce such a disgusting scumbag as Chu Shaowei?"

"I really didn't expect you to have so much stock. I don't know what's wrong with Chu Shaowei today..."

"You work under Boss Chu, yet you've managed to get in touch with Nancheng? Whose side are you really on?" Song Yan was somewhat displeased; Gangzi wasn't telling the truth.

“Grandma, you’re so smart. I did work for Cao Zhang before, but then Boss Cao put me under Chu Shaowei. I didn’t have to worry about anything else, just watch out for him stabbing me in the back. Brother Cao never mistreats those who follow him, unlike Chu Shaowei who steals money and women.” Gangzi wasn’t lying about this.

Song Yan clenched his fist, wanting to punch Chu Shaowei to death.

Alas! Murder is unacceptable, and killing a bad person is also unacceptable.

Or you can put everything away, but still keep the money in your pocket.

Hey! Robbery is out of the question, and robbing bad people is also unacceptable.

Listen to the old man's advice: anything or money entering the space must be pure.

And once you've done it, you're afraid you won't be able to resist doing it a second time...

This isn't a martial arts novel about wandering the world with a sword.

"Just take me to the south of the city." Song Yan stood up and started to leave. He'd only taken one step when he turned back. "Do you know why I dared to go with you? Aren't you afraid you'll lie to me?"

"Grandma, with that gun in your hand, I wouldn't dare try anything funny. Putting everything else aside, I'm hoping you'll let me go so I can escape as soon as possible," Gangzi said cautiously.

"It's good that you know."...

If Song Yan hadn't known that Cao Zhang was the head of the black market, he would have definitely thought that Cao Zhang was an intellectual, such as a government official or a teacher.

Gangzi was quite slick. He wasn't far from Song Yan, and he carefully recounted how he met Song Yan, all the way up to how Chu Shaowei tried to steal Song Yan's goods but ended up being dealt with by Song Yan, to Cao Zhang. He didn't mention the gun at all.

Song Yan could hear what Gangzi said. After he finished speaking, he looked at Song Yan, clearly observing whether Song Yan was satisfied!

Cao Zhang: "Chu Shaowei is vindictive and prone to taking his anger out on others. He got taken down by someone else, and you'll be held responsible for that too. You should go into hiding."

"Brother Cao, I'll listen to you! You're so thoughtful." Gangzi seemed overwhelmed with gratitude.

Drama queen, sycophant!

Cao Zhang dismissed Gangzi and took the initiative to shake hands with Song Yan. "May I ask how to address you, comrade?"

"Just call me Xiao Mu, the Mu as in wood." The character "Song" without the "Bao" radical is "Mu".

"Comrade Xiao Mu, Gangzi said you have a lot of good stuff. I wonder how much you have left?" Cao Zhang asked with a smile, giving off a humble and polite vibe.

"I definitely still have stock. If you're not satisfied with my goods when they arrive, you don't have to take them. Of course, if your price isn't right, I can also choose not to sell them to you." Song Yan figured it was just a one-time transaction after all.

"Okay. I happen to have an empty yard for you to use."

Song Yan's requirements weren't high: she only needed the yard to use and a coal stove to be prepared. The house had to be warm, otherwise the fruit would freeze.

Then there's how to contact them...

Cao Zhang was very straightforward, and Song Yan and he had a smooth conversation.

Song Yan's indifferent attitude towards whether he kept his word left Cao Zhang unsure. Did Song Yan think the deal was optional, or would she immediately abandon it if he didn't meet her expectations?
