Li Fang stubbornly insisted, "No, I didn't wrong her. I suspect she hid the items in the transaction inside her clothes, and I demand a search of her."

"Slap!" Su Li slapped Li Fang across the face hard. "Are you done yet? You think you can spread rumors just because you have a mouth? You think you can just say whatever you want? I even said I saw you messing around with other women last time."

"You, you're talking nonsense!"

Li Zhongming interrupted their argument, saying, "That's enough. Now is not the time for you to quarrel. Since the whistleblower has doubts, we still need to search you. What if you're hiding illicit goods on your person?"

Before Su Li could object, he said to the two people beside him, "You two check the three men outside and see if they have any items for trade."

As he spoke, he sneered inwardly. In their line of work, as long as something is found on them, even if it's not a traded item, once it's found, they can decide all the charges against them.

Since Su Li is a woman, it's not easy for them to search her. Li Fang offered, "I'll help you search her. I'm sure I can find something on her."

Seeing her confident expression, Li Zhongming nodded.

Just as Li Fang was about to search Su Li, she was kicked to the ground. Li Fang's stomach hurt from the kick. She clutched her stomach and pointed at Su Li, saying to Li Zhongming, "Look at her, she's not cooperating and even kicked me. She must be hiding something and feeling guilty. Quickly arrest her."

Su Li walked up to Li Fang and kicked her again; "You think you're so great just because you have a mouth! You think you can search me like that? What if you don't find anything?"

Li Zhongming said, "If we can't find it, we can't find it. What else can we do?"

They've searched for so many people, this is the first time they've heard someone say, "What if I can't find anything?"

Su Li sneered, "That won't do. If it's not illegal to report people, then I'll report their family for speculation and profiteering."

Upon hearing this, Li Fang and Li Liang were terrified; "Su Li, you bitch, what nonsense are you spouting?"

"Oh, am I talking nonsense? You were the one who started talking nonsense first. What? You can do it, but I can't?"

Li Zhongming had been out for a while, enduring the cold wind, and hadn't found anything. Now, he had to listen to two women arguing, wasting his time. He was already quite impatient.

Just then, they heard several people outside say, "The director and the others have nothing on them except two cents."

Li Zhongming frowned, looked Su Li up and down again, and felt that staying any longer would not yield any results and would only waste his time. So he said to his men, "Let's go back. It's such a waste of time to make a trip in this cold weather."

Li Fang wanted to say something, but Li Liang stopped her. If it weren't for their mother's sake, these people would probably have arrested them long ago.

If the older sister continues to make trouble, and accidentally angers someone, they'll be in deep trouble.

Li Fang glared at Su Li with some resentment. She was certain that these people had made some kind of deal with Su Li, but she didn't know where Su Li had hidden it now.

"Comrade, you may kneel down now," Su Li said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Li Liang instinctively took a step back; "What...what did you say?"

Su Li walked towards him step by step; "Didn't you agree to the bet? Since you lost, then kneel down!"

Seeing Su Li getting closer and closer to her younger brother, Li Fang was so angry that she tried to push Su Li away.

"Su Li, you bitch, why should my brother kneel down? Don't think I don't know you've definitely made a deal, it's just that those people haven't been found yet."

"Slap!" Without saying a word, Su Li slapped her across the face. She couldn't stand the word "bitch".

"Su Li, you bitch, what right do you have...?"

Before she could finish speaking, she was slapped across the face again.

The group of people outside, including Lu Shan, didn't rush in, but they kept listening to what was happening inside. If Miss Shi was being bullied, they would go in immediately.

"Watch your mouth, or I'll smash your mouth in."

Li Fang was frightened by her ambiguous smile, and Li Liang also took a step back.

"Since you're unwilling, I'll have to take matters into my own hands."

As soon as she finished speaking, Su Li kicked Li Liang in the leg, and he fell to his knees in the snow with a "thud".

"Su Li! You bitch!"

"Smack!"

"you!"

Su Li looked at the boy in front of her, stepped forward and patted his face; "What's wrong with me? If you want to stand up for Su Jiaojiao in the future, just come on, I'm not afraid, I have plenty of time to play with you guys."

Li Fang pulled Li Liang up from the snow and walked outside without saying a word.

Once outside the dilapidated temple, he turned to Su Li and said, "You wicked woman, we'll trample you under our feet one day. Don't be too smug."

After they left, just as Lu Shan and the others were about to enter the dilapidated temple, Su Li came out first.

Are items still being traded today?

As she said this, Su Li glanced around; there was no one outside.

Lu Shan thought that leaving so many vegetables here was not a good solution. With the New Year approaching, these two days would be a good time to sell vegetables. Now that the man with the red armband had left, he might as well just trade them away.

So he nodded.

"Then please wait outside for a moment."

Su Li entered the dilapidated temple again, took out the items, and then took out items from her spatial storage, including Lu Shan's bracelet and money. Only then did she say to those outside, "Come in!"

Lu Shan's men, seeing the goods still safely stored away, were curious and wanted to know how she had hidden such a large quantity of goods.

But seeing that even their own boss hadn't inquired, they didn't dare to ask easily either.

Su Li handed the bracelet and money to Lu Shan; "Here, this is your bracelet and money."

"Thanks"

Lu Shan took the money and pushed the bracelet back, saying, "Take this as a thank you gift."

Su Li touched the bracelet; it looked quite nice. "This bracelet looks very valuable. You really gave it to me?"

"Here you go. If it weren't for you this time, the three of us would probably be in deep trouble for the rest of our lives."

"Okay, I'll accept it, but I won't accept it for nothing. I'll give you fifty apples as compensation after the New Year."

Lu Shan's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing the word "apple"; "Great!"

After the goods were traded, Su Li turned and left the dilapidated temple.

After Su Li left, Lu Shan's two men, unable to contain their excitement, asked, "Boss, where do you think Miss Shi hid the things? Why couldn't those people find such a large batch of goods?"

Another person chimed in, "Yeah! I'm curious too. Those people are definitely the best at scavenging, but how come they didn't find so much stuff? That's really strange."

Lu Shan kicked the two of them; "Don't worry about things that aren't your business. Miss Shi has her own methods. From now on, you'd better be respectful to me, understand?"
