Then he slowly increased the pressure on his hand.

It only lasted half a minute before Haozi's face turned completely red. When Wei Aiguo released him, he was panting heavily.

Wei Aiguo: "You're really dishonest!"

The group of people were so frightened that they dared not breathe, and the only sound in the room was the rat's panting.

One of them tentatively spoke up. "We really do have a few items!"

Wei Aiguo: "Where did your goods come from?"

His question silenced everyone. Wei Aiguo sneered, then pinched the mouse again, causing it to grimace in pain.

After repeating this process several times, Wei Aiguo learned many things he wanted to know.

Wei Aiguo: "How long have you been doing this job?"

"At the beginning. Most people are quite cautious, and besides, they only own one watch, and rarely two. Usually, the transaction is completed on the spot."

Wei Aiguo grabbed a random man, pinched his shoulder, and the man howled in pain. "Which of his statements was a lie?"

"It really hasn't been long since I started doing this."

We didn't know how to do this job yet, so our eldest brother took the lead. Recently, there have been a lot of out-of-towners coming to Guangcheng, and many people want to bring goods from here, so we just started doing this!

The rats are their leader.

Song Yan found a rope and threw them into the side room like they were tied up like rice dumplings.

Wei Aiguo and Song Yan returned to the main room; it was time for them to see their son.

The two chubby boys didn't cry, but they were whimpering. Song Yan realized they had wet themselves. He quickly changed and washed the two stinky boys.

The two of them each held one child. Song Yan fed the second child first.

The third child was very anxious in his father's arms.

Song Yan: "Why are you so happy?"

Wei Aiguo: "Am I happy?"

Song Yan nodded. "You're very happy."

Wei Aiguo: "They probably think they can ask whatever they want now. If they're not satisfied, I can still..." use underhanded tactics. "Look at those vendors earlier, they can talk if they want, and what can you do to them if they don't?"

And they don't know much about it yet.

This means we've caught a bad guy and can go after him.

Song Yan fed his son and also filled their own stomachs. The two of them even slept for a while.

Now they need to find the person the rat mentioned to verify if what the rat said is true.

Before leaving, Wei Aiguo warned Haozi, "I'm going to see if they actually have any goods."

If I had known you were playing me… you should have known the consequences!

The mouse, its mouth gagged, whimpered.

Song Yan removed the cloth from his mouth.

Mouse: "Old Lei won't see anyone who isn't a close acquaintance! He has dozens of men under him, some of whom have actually seen bloodshed, unlike us."

Moreover, he has connections; many of his goods are smuggled out of customs. Even though he's paid off customs officials, nobody in Guangzhou checks him.

"What do you mean? All his things have been obtained through official channels?" Wei Aiguo asked.

Mouse: "Customs checks so many things, only the contraband is burned, the rest are all good stuff."

People with connections can get it done by spending money.

Old Lei is a very capable man.

Wei Aiguo: "You mean, he's someone I can't afford to offend?"

"I wouldn't dare think that way! I think you really want to do business! If you want to do business, you certainly won't be there fighting and causing trouble."

"I mean I can introduce you!" said Mouse.

Wei Aiguo chuckled. He guessed what Haozi meant; he was afraid Haozi would suffer a loss at Lao Lei's hands and then come back to settle the score. "You're smart!"

I don't want watches that cost 10 or 8 yuan; I need a large quantity. If you can negotiate a lower price for me, I won't let you run errands for nothing.

"No, no, it's my honor to do good for you, brother!" Haozi followed Wei Aiguo humbly.

With Haozi leading the way, Wei Aiguo indeed found Lao Lei very easily. Just as Haozi said, it wouldn't have been easy to meet him without someone you knew.

Wei Aiguo and Song Yan looked at various watch samples.

The price of mechanical watches ranges from fifty to over a hundred. Many brands that became expensive later now only cost a few hundred dollars.

There are also many electronic watches, which only cost a few dollars each.

Wei Aiguo was quite interested in the digital watch. But Song Yan shook his head.

While digital watches are attractive, they're not exactly cheap for the average person. And these things need batteries, which isn't readily available in big cities like Kyoto.

That won't do if it only lasts for six months or a year and then stops working when the power is out.

Old Lei has over 300 ordinary mechanical watches in his inventory, and also several dozen high-end ones.

I don't want anything high-end.

The mouse was indeed bargaining very hard.

The cheapest is 35 yuan, and there are 210 watches like this.

50 yuan, 100 yuan.

The one that costs 80 yuan, is now 32 yuan.

The total price is 14,910.

After calculating the price, the mouse swallowed hard.

Fearing that Wei Aiguo wouldn't be able to come up with the money, Lao Lei thought he was just playing a joke on him. Then Lao Lei would have to settle accounts with Haozi later.

The mouse felt it was tired of living and insisted on touching the nose of the King of Hell.

Wei Aiguo: "I have money! But I also have good stuff."

"Take a look first."

Song Yan took out the bag he was carrying on his back. From it, he pulled out an exquisite box. This was made by the carpenter Ji Laosan, whom Song Yan had commissioned.

Inside the box was a velvet cloth, and inside that were five ginseng roots. The color and quality were impeccable, and the ginseng roots had a subtle sheen.

Old Lei was so surprised he stood up; he was an expert and knew this was a good product. "How much are you planning to pay?"
