Chapter 60: The Secret
"You mean, some of her core medicinal ingredients haven't been made public?"
Xie Yunfeng didn't know why she suddenly asked this and nodded. The information he had heard was indeed true.
That's right, supplies on this island are already scarce, where did Su Jinhui get so many medicinal herbs? So there must be something fishy going on with her.
"Brother Xie, I don't think the formula of this medicinal soap is that important. Why would she keep some of the core formulas? Don't you think this is strange?"
Xie Yunfeng looked at Su Lanqiao, and after hearing what she said, an idea suddenly came to his mind.
It is said that since Su Jinhui came to the island and planned to marry Yan Li'an, Yan Li'an has been promoted step by step, and even Su Jinhui has gradually gained some prestige on the island.
He didn't think it was a big deal at first, but after listening to Su Lanqiao's words, he felt that this matter was not that simple.
"you mean?"
"I think there must be some unspeakable secret behind the relationship between Yan Li'an and my sister. Otherwise, why would she keep this formula? And don't you think it's strange?"
"My sister is the eldest daughter of a capitalist family. How could she become a doctor? I've never heard of her medical skills at home before, and I've noticed that she seems like a completely different person."
As she was talking, Su Lanqiao suddenly grabbed Xie Yunfeng's arm tightly. She looked at him in horror and said, "Tell me, could it be that my sister is possessed by a ghost?"
She looked very scared, which made Xie Yunfeng frown.
"What nonsense are you talking about? This is a new era, how can there be such talk of ghosts and gods?"
"It might be your sister. She usually hides it from you when she's at home. Besides, didn't you tell me before? She's been in the countryside for so many years, and suddenly your family found her back. Maybe she's holding a grudge."
Su Lanqiao hesitated to speak. She looked at Xie Yunfeng in panic, "But I'm worried that they might do something that will endanger the safety of the troops."
"I always feel that my sister has changed so much suddenly. She must be hiding some secret. Brother Xie, can you help me investigate this matter?"
Xie Yunfeng looked at the pitiful Su Lanqiao, and he was already feeling resentful because he lost the competition with Yan Li'an.
If they could really get hold of something against Su Jinhui, it would be a good thing for them. It might even stop them from harming others in the future.
"No problem, I can help you."
Hearing this, Su Lanqiao finally smiled.
Ever since she awakened her memories of her past life, her obsession with the jade pendant reached its peak.
After so many days of investigation, she finally got some information from Xie Yunfeng.
However, it was not aimed at Su Jinhui, but the black market unique to the island.
"Brother Xie, I think I saw some people taking things to a fishing boat near the island a while ago to trade. That boat was much larger than ordinary fishing boats, and there seemed to be quite a lot of people coming and going. But I asked many people, and no one would tell me. Do you know what's going on?"
Xie Yunfeng thought for a moment and knew what she was talking about. "This... This is the black market on the island. There are a lot of various supplies on the ship, and there are also treasures salvaged from the seabed. As for whether they are worth money, I don't know, and I can't guarantee it."
"Many people would take what they have to the fishing boats to exchange for supplies. Have you never been there? Do you want to go?"
Su Lanqiao's eyes sparkled with excitement. She nodded and excitedly took the other person's hand. "But I don't have anything valuable on me. I guess they'll kick me out if I go there, right?"
Xie Yunfeng chuckled. "That's not the case. The night market on the island is no different from other places. You can go there just to look around without buying anything. They don't force you to buy anything there. They just have to be interested in what you want to trade."
"So that's how it is!"
"Then I'll get some valuable fish someday and exchange them with them. I don't think they'll be interested in these ordinary ones."
Xie Yunfeng did not ask any further questions about this matter.
After he left, Su Lanqiao immediately went to the fishing boat.
She did not disguise herself like Su Jinhui had before, so when she appeared, she immediately attracted the attention of many vendors doing business on the fishing boat.
Su Lanqiao observed the people trading on the fishing boats around her. There were quite a lot of them.
Some of the people coming and going would look at him from time to time.
She was also looking at the fishing boat, wondering who had the final say.
A man with a scar on his face caught her attention. He was not like the ordinary people who came here to trade and did not carry anything valuable.
Instead, he sat on a stool and observed the people who came here to trade. Some of them even nodded and bowed to him after seeing him.
Su Lanqiao bravely stepped forward and asked tremblingly, "Excuse me, are you the owner of the black market?"
The scarred man did not answer Su Lanqiao's words, but instead found it a little funny when he heard her address him.
He exchanged a glance with his brothers beside him, then burst into laughter, "Master?"
"This name is quite novel."
Su Lanqiao had never dealt with such people before, and was especially frightened when she heard them laughing so loudly. However, for the sake of her plan, she had to calm down.
"Then do you know who the owner of this black market is? I have something I want to tell him."
The scarred man looked Su Lanqiao up and down and said, "Little girl, are you looking for a deal? Our boss is not someone you can just meet casually, unless you have something valuable or a shocking secret."
She bit her lip and tried to play her tricks again. "Big brother, I have something very important to tell your boss. As for whether he thinks what I have to say is valuable, it's up to him to judge for himself, but I can guarantee that he won't suffer any loss."
The scarred man obviously didn't believe what she said. What shocking news could a little girl have?
"Go away, don't bother our boss here. We still have business to do. If you are not here to make a deal, leave now."
The younger brother beside him couldn't stand it anymore and was about to chase Su Lanqiao away. Only then did he react, "You call him boss?"
"So, you are the boss of the black market?"
"Great! I really have something important to tell you. If you make this deal with me, I guarantee that I can bring you wealth that is more than three times the value of everything on this ship."
The air froze for a moment. The scarred man raised his eyebrows and then laughed sarcastically, "Triple the wealth?"
"Do you know how much my ship is worth? And yet you're talking nonsense here. Even if all the things on the entire island were added together, they wouldn't be worth as much as I am, right?"
"No!"
"I do, but you have to agree to this deal with me."
