Chapter 90 Chapter 90 Things seem to be messed up
"Why are you back again? Didn't you not believe the news I brought?" Looking at the few people who had gone and come back, Zhang Rui adjusted his mood and pulled the corner of his mouth sarcastically.
Just a few minutes ago, these people had left without even looking back. Now they actually dared to come back and ask her to do something?
"I'm sorry, Sister Zhang." Faced with Zhang Rui's ugly face, the few people who came over quietly had no complaints. They rubbed their hands and tried to explain.
"It's not that we don't know what's good for us. We've been working under Brother Li for a long time. He controls our lives, so we dare not disobey him."
"So you dare to do it now? Aren't you afraid that Guan Long will cause trouble to you again after you go back?" Shi Fang said coldly from the side.
He can't stand people who say one thing to your face and another behind your back. They say nice things but were too scared to stand up at the time. Now that he comes to you again, isn't he afraid that the news will reach their ears?
Shifang looked around at the floating objects of several people coming over from the opposite side. They were all common floating objects on the sea.
Fans, glasses, tea sets, and walnuts...
Most of them are personal belongings on floating objects. Basically, everyone has one of the popular practical items in the market. Compared with most people, their life is pretty good.
It seems that he was treated well in the market, but now he betrays the people who have always followed him. What good will we get even if we accept such a person?
"This..." The man who was pushed to the front of the team was not eloquent to begin with. When he heard Shi Fang's words, he was really speechless.
"How can this be the same!" Seeing that the conversation between the people in front had reached a stalemate, the person who had been hiding in the back couldn't help but speak out.
"It's just a temporary following. How can it be compared with our lives? In today's world, what could be more important than saving our lives?"
"I knew it was you who was causing trouble behind the scenes!" Seeing the man finally appear, Shifang raised his hand and pointed in his direction, frowning.
Next to the man named Guan Long, Li An is considered to be the number one lackey, and he can do whatever he is told.
To say that he actually came to them without Guan Long's knowledge, he really didn't believe that such a problem would arise.
However, before Shifang could say anything else and give his grandson a good mockery, Zhang Rui, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.
"Alright, no matter what, we really want to take everyone to safety. So no matter what you want to do, don't hinder us."
As Zhang Rui spoke, he turned his gaze to the others who seemed somewhat at a loss during the conversation. "Whether others agree or not, we will make a collective announcement before leaving. If you have truly made up your mind, you can listen to the announcement and then gather together."
"Okay, okay." Several people nodded quickly and paddled away on their floating objects.
"Hey, you bunch of losers, don't go..." Seeing that the people who were forced to come here by him disappeared without a trace, Li An couldn't help but jump up and down.
"You are the only one left here. Do you want to leave? Or stay?" Looking at Li An standing alone opposite him, Shi Fang picked up the weapon placed aside and threatened.
"You, you didn't really mean to take us away. You just don't take our peaceful and stable life seriously! I will expose you. I will make your evil ambitions known to the public!"
As he spoke, Li An carefully glanced at the knife in Shi Fang's hand. Seeing that he was about to raise it, he quickly left a harsh word and ran away.
"What we say always works. If you want to leave, you can come find us!" Looking at the embarrassed figure leaving in the distance, Zhang Rui raised his voice and shouted.
However, amid the shouting, the figure disappeared in a flash, as if something was chasing it.
"There's no need for you to say this to him," Shi Fang curled his lips in dissatisfaction. "What's the use of this guy? Do you need to remind him specifically? I think it's better not to take him with you when you leave."
"That's enough, young master." Zhang Rui looked at the fleeing figure with satisfaction, turned around and patted Shifang's shoulder with a smile in his eyes.
"When it comes to observing us, I'm not as perceptive as you, but when it comes to outsiders, you're really not as good as me."
After saying that, Zhang Rui's lips curled up into an intriguing smile, and he looked like a mysterious master. He silently climbed up from the floating object and looked in the direction of the market without saying another word.
If someone who didn't know the situation passed by and saw this scene, they would really think that Zhang Rui was some otherworldly master.
But if you change to Shifang, who knows the origins of the matter very well, you can only see two words.
"Pretend to be cool!"
Shi Fang's hands itched as he watched. He felt uncomfortable standing behind Zhang Rui. He really wanted to pinch her and wipe away the mysterious look on her face!
He did it as he thought. When Zhang Rui was still trying hard to maintain the appearance of a hermit, a pair of "evil" big hands suddenly touched him from behind.
He grabbed the soft flesh on Zhang Rui's face and gently pulled it to the sides.
"Are you going to tell the truth? Hmm? We've been together for such a long time, how could I not know what kind of person you are? Tell me."
"Ugh! Nijiu is a big jerk!"
The soft flesh on Zhang Rui's face was pulled so hard that it hurt. He stared at the "evil-doing" stone archway with his eyes and spoke incoherently.
"Hey, I think you don't want to make up your mind." Unexpectedly, after it got to this point, Zhang Rui could still hear words cursing himself. Shifang stopped making a face and went forward with his two big hands to rub him.
After finally regaining control of his face, Zhang Rui couldn't help but gasp twice. What a beast! How could he rub a girl's beautiful face like this?
"I say you are a big fool!" Taking advantage of Shifang's inattention, Zhang Rui uttered this sentence clearly, and before the pair of big hands reached out again, he hurriedly stepped back a few steps to escape from the range of involvement.
"I'm not asking you two to become a family, spending every night together intimately. Why do you care so much? As long as such a person can bring enough benefits and can be easily controlled, it's enough. Do you think Guan Long doesn't know that he is such a villain? Isn't he easy to control and willing to work..."
"So that's how it is. So you know everything." Shi Fang's head exploded after hearing this. He barely extracted some useful information and nodded.
"I'm telling you that the old man was right not to let me inherit the family business. I'm not happy with all these roundabout ways."
"You don't want to use your brain on this. Those mechanical things of yours are really a headache!" Looking at Shifang's weird look, Zhang Rui rolled his eyes secretly and walked closer.
"Every profession has its own specialties!" Shifang chuckled and stopped talking about this.
The topic ended here, and Zhang Rui put away his playful heart. He turned his eyes to the bustling market that suddenly seemed a little weird, and sighed in his heart.
"Guess what's going on in the market right now?"
"Why would we need to guess?" Shi Fang also stopped watching the fun and sneered, "Those people are doing a good deed, helping us spread the word about leaving."
Zhang Rui and Shi Fang were standing not far from the market, but the excessive noise in the market made the silence between the two of them seem a little out of place.
Sometimes, accidents happen in a flash.
Even if Zhang Rui didn't want to face it, he had to admit that the two of them had handled this matter terrible.
It was all her fault for not being able to judge people well. She thought he was a capable and trustworthy person, but she didn't expect that he was actually a wolf waiting for an opportunity to bite her.
"Let's go, it's time to face the trouble I caused." Zhang Rui took a deep breath and said calmly, "It's just that I've implicated you. You've done a good job, but you still have to accompany me to deal with these troubles."
"That's true," Shi Fang grumbled, putting his hand on Zhang Rui's shoulder. "We're partners, aren't we? Shouldn't we rise and fall together? If I leave you alone, what's the difference between me and that treacherous person?"
After being comforted by Shifang, my originally heavy mood didn't seem so miserable anymore.
As the two figures left together, there was inexplicably a sense of fusion.
…
The progress of the market walk news was not smooth, but Chang Ruijia and Lu Baian's progress was extremely fast.
After following Yuan Deng into their base, Chang Ruijia and the others were immediately introduced to the leader of the base about the purpose of their visit.
At first, the leader was filled with doubts at such an outrageous request, but when he saw the cargo samples on their floating object, all these doubts were forgotten.
What is there to not understand?
Even if someone doesn’t understand, you have to understand!
Anyone who can use such precious goods to help them exchange (solve) prey is worthy of the highest courtesy treatment in the garrison.
"Of course no problem," the resident leader maintained his dignity well, but his eyes were a little impatient.
"The items owned by our residents are not easily circulated in the market, so there is nothing worthwhile for traveling merchants to circulate."
"In the end, we could only rely on the countless casualties of our predecessors to come up with ways to fight those monsters under the sea, and barely find enough food to survive."
At this point, the leader couldn't help but sigh, "This also leads to our dependence on those prey. You should also know about the period of time when the monster fish disappeared from the sea? During that time, we were really in dire straits. We wanted to find traveling merchants to exchange food, but no one was willing to come. We also wanted to produce it ourselves, but we're not good at it."
After listening to the miserable descriptions of so many leaders, Lu Baian seemed to begin to understand what the leaders wanted to say. He looked at Chang Ruijia with understanding.
In front of outsiders, the two of them still maintained the appearance that Lu Baian was the one in charge, so they tentatively asked, "So you want to..."
"This is what I mean," the leader rubbed his hands. "You need this prey. I won't delve into the specific reasons, after all, everyone has secrets. But since you need it and we happen to have it, then... can we reach a certain level of stable cooperation?"
After all, this concerns whether the entire base can obtain a stable source of goods in the future. So after hearing the leader's request, Yuan Deng and several others who were leading the way to the prey storage area stopped leading the way and turned back nervously waiting for Lu Baian's answer.
"Let's wait for later..." The main reason is that he can't make the decision!
Lu Baian was just thinking of temporarily diverting the matter and then discussing the relevant matters with Chang Ruijia when there was no one else around.
But a sudden sharp pain in his lower back made him change his words.
"Of course, this can't wait until later." Feeling the small hand on his lower back loosen up a little, Lu Baian's suddenly tense body relaxed a little, and he suppressed a grin. "Don't worry, we are very trustworthy. As long as your prey is enough to satisfy me, the cooperation will definitely continue for a long time."
Seeing the leader opposite him thanking him with tears in his eyes, the usually calm Lu Baian almost burst into tears as well.
But the hands hanging on both sides of the body slowly touched the back.
Finally, this lady is satisfied. This hurts too much! Woo woo woo...
