black market
Zheng Baochang was very proud, because he knew that no one dared to do anything to him. Who is he? He is the boss of Changbao Real Estate Company. Without him, the real estate industry in Nanfu City will collapse.
He was just playing cards, and a mere 100,000 yuan was a drop in the bucket for him.
Gu Fangxin was unwilling to give in. He knew that Zheng Baochang was definitely not as simple as he seemed. There is a mysterious investor in Ma Ge’s chess and card room, and he suspects it is Zheng Baochang. But he had no evidence, and Zhang Changming asked him to release the person, so he had to.
Gu Fang suppressed his reluctance deep in his heart; he didn't want to lose to Zheng Baochang in momentum.
Zheng Baochang felt as comfortable as if he were in the office, and the lawyer even brought him some clean clothes. Zheng Baochang looked at Gu Fang and said, "So you are Captain Gu. You are indeed different from the others."
Gu Fang grinned, "Mr. Zheng, you are too polite. We are acquainted after fighting."
Zheng Baochang laughed, "When I was young like you, I was also fearless. But when I got older, I realized that in this world, you can't be fearless just because you are not afraid. You still need to have a sense of awe."
"What President Zheng said is that I didn't recognize the real master."
"It's okay. I don't blame you. It's normal that you don't know me. But, you're a good card player. Let's compete with each other later."
"No, no, you're too polite, Mr. Zheng." Gu Fang used his usual thick-skinned skills to send Zheng Baochang out.
When they arrived at the city bureau, Xiao Zhang drove the car while Zheng Baochang waited. He whispered to Gu Fang, "Young man, I have high hopes for you. If you want to get rich, tell me and I'll take you there."
Gu Fang immediately looked flattered, "Thank you, Brother Zheng."
Zheng Baochang was very happy to see that he was so smart. He patted Gu Fang on the shoulder and said, "Young man, you have a bright future ahead of you."
Gu Fang laughed so hard that his eyes almost disappeared. "Thank you for your good words."
Zheng Baochang nodded, watched the car approaching, and went down the stairs. Xiao Zhang ran down from the driver's seat and opened the door for him.
Gu looked at the car driving away and slowly put away his smile. He turned back and called Qiu Ming, "Pack up and follow me to the black market tonight."
Jiang Shengyu immediately became excited when he heard this, "Captain Gu, I'll go too."
"And me!" Qi Jiabao was not to be outdone. It was the black market. If he didn't go take a look, he would be letting himself down.
"Why are there so many people there?! Aren't they eye-catching enough?!"
Jiang Shengyu: "I'll take Xiaobao with me, and I'll make sure he doesn't cause any trouble."
Qi Jiabao nodded vigorously, and Gu Fang said nothing, which was considered as tacit consent.
The situation in the black market was unclear, so the four of them made full preparations. We arrived at the black market at around nine o'clock. There was no one there and the empty woods looked a bit scary.
Ma Ge said that people who come to the black market will arm themselves so that others will not recognize them.
The four men were wearing different clothes. Gu Fang wore a full set of black, a black cloak, and a mask of the Black Impermanence on his head, which he lifted to the top of his head.
In order to cooperate with him, Qiu Ming dressed in white clothes and wore a white ghost.
Jiang Shengyu joked, who has ever seen such a big White Impermanence.
Qiu Ming retorted, "Only if I'm big enough can I take you in."
Jiang Shengyu laughed. He and Qi Jiabao wore fashionable clothes: flared jeans and riveted leather jackets. One of them wore a fox mask, while the other wore a tiger mask.
More than an hour later, someone arrived at the black market, set up a table, and established a stall with a night light on the table.
Gradually, more and more people set up stalls and more and more people came shopping. Whether they were setting up stalls or strolling around, some were wearing masks or covering their faces with cloth, they looked like wandering souls in the dark.
Seeing that almost everyone had arrived, Gu Fang said, "Get out of the car."
The four got out of the car and put on masks. Gu Fang and Qiu Ming left first, followed by Jiang Shengyu and Qi Jiabao.
The first stalls displayed antique porcelain, which looked like they were dug out from graves, some of which even had fresh soil on them. Those who sell porcelain are almost all skinny and their eyes glow brightly in the dark night.
Going further back, there are all kinds of pills for sale, including drugs, opiates, hallucinogens, and even morphine and opium.
There are quite a few people coming to buy, and hallucinogens, morphine and opium are the highest-selling drugs.
Jiang Shengyu sighed softly, "I thought they were extinct in Nanfu City, but I didn't expect there are still so many."
Gu Fang said in a deep voice: "As long as there are people, these things cannot be stopped."
Suddenly, I heard a commotion behind me, and a woman's voice said, "Are you being unreasonable? I bought it first, why should I give it to you?" Her stall contained bracelets, jade hairpins, ancient books, brush washers and other items.
Another female voice said, "You haven't paid yet anyway. As long as you don't pay, the boss can sell it to anyone."
"I'm already negotiating the price with my boss."
"You offered such a low price, the boss obviously doesn't want to sell it to you, I'll offer double the price!" The girl who spoke was wearing a light blue retro dress. The material of the dress was very good and flowing. She had a peacock mask on her face. She stretched out two fingers and waved them in front of the boss's eyes.
The boss's exposed eyes immediately showed joy, bent down, nodded, and wanted to sell it to her.
The girl said, "Boss, you have to be honest when doing business!"
The boss snatched the jade hairpin from her hand and gave it to the girl in light blue, "You can't afford it anyway!"
Just as the girl was about to protest, a sudden male voice came over, "Who said we can't afford it! I'm afraid it's not fair for the boss to do business this way."
The girl looked up and saw a man wrapped in a black robe and wearing a Black Impermanence mask. Her body obviously stiffened and there was a hint of evasion in her eyes.
The boss snorted, "This is a black market, you can do business however you want! It doesn't matter if it's authentic or not, as long as you pay the money."
Gu Fang snatched the hairpin from the girl in light blue clothes. The hairpin was emerald green with a little bit of beige at the end. It was engraved with a pattern of a flying phoenix. The engraving was delicate and the phoenix looked lifelike. Looking closely at the light, the phoenix seemed to be about to flap its wings and fly. It was indeed a good thing.
He glanced at the girl who was also wrapped in black clothes and wearing a black veil, and said, "I'll pay three times the price."
The boss was stunned. "You just said I was dishonest, and now you're going to pay three times as much?"
"I'm happy, will you sell it?"
"Sell!"
"Boss, why do you go back on your word?" The girl from before was unhappy.
The boss said, "I said I'll give it to whoever offers the highest price. Why don't you pay four times as much?"
The girl hesitated, thinking that four times the price was too much for her. She glared at the boss, then at Gu Fang, "Just wait for me!" Then she turned and left.
Just as Gu Fang was about to pay, a hand held him down, took the jade hairpin from his hand, and gave it back to the boss, "We don't want it!"
boss:……
No, you were fighting for it just now, but now you don’t want it anymore and are just playing.
However, Gu Fang took the hairpin back and still paid the money. The boss immediately smiled happily, and almost lost a business deal.
The girl rolled her eyes at Gu Fang and said, "Isn't it a loss to buy this thing at three times the price?"
"Then why are you arguing with others?"
"I'm just so angry. Why does she have the right to steal other people's things?"
"There are so many things in this world that are frustrating. Are you going to argue with people about every one of them?"
"I don't care about anything else, she's getting in my way!"
Gu Fang laughed, then snorted, "You are so brave to come here alone. Be careful or I will tell Director Zhang."
Shen Xingyan was startled and said flatteringly: "You won't."
Qiu Ming stared at the girl's back and touched Jiang Shengyu, "Who is this?"
Jiang Shengyu rolled his eyes, "Forensic Doctor Shen."
Qiu Ming: "Ah! Why is she here? How did Captain Gu recognize her?"
Jiang Shengyu glanced at Qi Jiabao, who was very obedient. "Of course I have to ask Xiaobao when he became a messenger. As for how Captain Gu recognized him, you have to ask Captain Gu. Anyway, I didn't recognize him. I guessed it based on Captain Gu's reaction."
Qiu Ming understood immediately. Apart from Forensic Doctor Shen, he had never seen Captain Gu treat any girl so well.
Suddenly, several people rushed over. The leader was the girl who had just grabbed the hairpin. She pointed at Gu Fang and the others and said, "Brother, it's them."
The man called brother stood beside her, wearing a black baseball cap, a black mask, and a shiny watch on his wrist. He seemed to have rushed over, wearing a navy blue jacket and jeans, with five or six thugs standing behind him.
The people in the black market seemed to know him. They all gasped and started packing up their things. The quick ones ran to the side and hid with their bags.
Seeing this, Jiang Shengyu and others surrounded Gu Fang and took a defensive stance.
Gu Fang laughed, "This is to call for help. A fight is coming."
The man in the baseball cap looked Gu Fang up and down, "First time here?"
"Come and see the excitement."
"Give the hairpin back to my sister, and I'll pretend this never happened."
"Unfortunately, I like it very much."
"You won't give it to me?"
Gu Fang shrugged and pointed at his face. "Hei Wuchang specializes in taking lives. Although I don't have such great abilities, I'm not a soft persimmon that can be bullied by others."
"You won't cry until you see the coffin! Beat him!" The thugs behind him swung their sticks and rushed forward.
Gu Fang: "Take care of yourselves. If you can't beat me, hide behind me!" As soon as the words came out, there was a sound of bang... bang! With five kicks, the thugs were kicked out like arrows. One of them was kicked by Qiu Ming because Qi Jiabao’s fighting power was not enough, and he landed a few seconds later.
The man in the baseball cap was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect to meet such a tough guy. "Get up, you bunch of losers!" He walked to the nearest thug, picked up the stick in his hand and hit Gu Fang.
Gu Fang did not move, just waiting for him to get close before attacking. Suddenly, there was a sound of breaking air, and Shen Xingyan had a baton in his hand, the same one he gave him. The next second, he rushed forward like lightning.
Gu Fang was stunned. I am the man, why are you doing that?
Shen Xingyan has been furious ever since her hairpin was taken away from her, and now someone has come to her house to cause trouble, so she has to beat up the brother and sister.
The baton in her hand was like a nimble snake, leaving behind a trail of afterimages. She didn't dodge at all, but fought back, taking the lead in attacking, and beat the man in the baseball cap without any chance of fighting back.
The girl next to her was dumbfounded. She didn't expect her to be so good at fighting.
The man in the baseball cap wailed in his heart, wondering where this woman came from and why she was so powerful. He originally wanted to teach her a lesson, but he didn't expect to be taught a lesson by her instead. Looking at a few more thugs, I found that they all fell to the ground and howled. The four men stood aside and watched the show.
The stall owners wanted to stay away to prevent being beaten and smashed for no reason again without anyone to pay compensation, but they did not expect the situation to take a sudden turn and the brother and sister who usually showed off their dominance were beaten without any chance to fight back.
Shen Xingyan beat and scolded, "Your sister stole my things, not only did she not apologize to me, but she also called helpers to fight. As a brother, you not only did not dissuade her, but also indulged her! I beat you for not being able to distinguish right from wrong! I beat you for not disciplining your sister and letting her commit crimes!"
The man in the baseball cap quickly dropped his stick and ran away, but there was nowhere to hide in the open space, and he couldn't beat the man, so he could only beg for mercy, "I know I was wrong, auntie, please stop hitting me, stop hitting me!"
Gu Fang grabbed Shen Xingyan's hand and said, "Okay, stop hitting me. If you continue, I'll go to the police station."
Shen Xingyan glared at the man in the baseball cap, "Teach him a lesson, he thinks he's the only one who can fight!"
Gu Fang smiled, "Yes, yes, you are the best fighter." He looked deeply at the man in the baseball cap sitting on the ground, "Let's forget about what happened today. I'll take the hairpin. Take care of your sister." He dragged Shen Xingyan away.
The girl ran up to the guy in the baseball cap and asked, "Brother, are you okay?"
"What do you think? Let someone teach him a lesson like a grandson." The man in the baseball cap probably wanted to spit, but because of the mask, he held it back. He stood up and kicked the thug, "Useless thing."
The girl looked at Gu Fang and the others from behind and asked, "Is that it?"
"How is that possible? They wouldn't show up for no reason. Let's go find out what happened recently."
