"Nothing, nothing, just chatting. That guy's inside, right?"
Su Ying nodded. "Is it inside? You can check it now, but give us some of the money first."
"No problem. It's agreed that it's cash on delivery."
Ada handed her the bag containing the money he had brought, and instructed the others to guard it before hurriedly leading his men into the cave.
Even as they came out, they couldn't help but complain for a long time, "You guys are really good at hiding things."
"I'm truly impressed that you were able to find such a hidden cave."
Gu Sinian answered his question directly, "We only dare to enter the black market by hiding the goods. The security bureau has been cracking down hard lately, so you'll have to be careful when you're picking up the goods later."
Ada, always known for his straightforwardness, blurted out, "Don't worry about that. Brother Tian's family has connections in the security bureau. They know exactly when there's an operation, down to the exact time. You can rest assured about Brother Tian's business dealings; they won't be able to trace it back to us."
Gu Sinian and Su Ying exchanged bewildered glances. No wonder Tian Gou was so successful in the black market; it turned out that way…
There's someone backing them up.
No wonder he could boast that no one on the black market would dare to intercept his business. If they didn't sell the dried yellow peaches to him, anyone else on the black market would only get a lower price.
I see.
Having connections in the imperial court makes things easier.
"Since there's nothing wrong with the goods, we'll be leaving now."
Ada gave them a meaningful look, nodded, and as they left, he gave them a single glance, at which four thugs followed closely behind.
Gu Sinian led Su Ying forward, holding her hand. Having served as a reconnaissance soldier for many years, he was very vigilant, as someone was following them.
It seems that Tian Gou also wants to dig up all their materials so that he can control them.
Gu Sinian has been a reconnaissance soldier for so many years. It's really naive of him to think that four people could follow him.
Putting everything else aside, Su Ying's spatial ability alone would allow her to escape without any effort.
Since there's an opportunity to cheat, why bother going through all that trouble? "Don't worry about the money; we should be thinking about how to escape."
Completely bewildered, Su Ying couldn't understand what Gu Sinian was talking about.
"Why should we run away? Why should we run away?"
"Someone is following us."
"What?"
Su Ying was about to turn her head to see what was going on when Gu Sinian pulled her back, saying, "Don't turn around. If you do, you'll give us all away."
Su Ying could only suppress her curiosity and stare straight ahead at the road. "What should we do next?"
"When we get to the corner, we'll immediately enter the space. They won't suspect anything and will think we've escaped. This Tian Tian Gou is no ordinary person; he's very shrewd and wants to find out who we are."
"While they're moving goods, we'll go into our space to freshen up and change our clothes. Even if they have sharp eyes, they won't be able to tell that we're the same people from before."
"Besides, it's getting late. We should go into the space, have a good meal, and get some rest. We probably won't see each other again when we come out."
"Okay. We'll do it your way."
The two reached a consensus and cooperated well, their pace quickening. The four people following behind noticed and were preparing to jog to catch up.
When we reached the corner, the person disappeared.
The four stared in disbelief at everything, letting out gasps of astonishment.
"My God? Where did they go? It's like they vanished into thin air! They disappeared in just a short while. It seems they came prepared."
A fist slammed into a tree. "I was careless. How am I going to explain this to Ada when we get back?"
"What's there to explain? They came prepared. Choosing to trade here must have been a well-thought-out decision, which is why they disappeared in such a short time."
"Do you think there might be some kind of secret passage? Otherwise, how could a person disappear so quickly? I don't believe in such nonsense. Even ghosts can't do that."
"It is indeed quite strange. Search the spot and see if there are any tunnels or hiding places nearby. Otherwise, how could two living people just disappear into thin air? I don't believe in this nonsense."
We searched an area within a few kilometers, but there wasn't even a mouse hole, let alone a secret passage.
The four returned home disappointed, muttering to themselves that they had been possessed by an evil spirit before leaving.
"What exactly happened? We've been searching the area for over an hour and haven't found a single ghost. How did they disappear?"
"Logically speaking, they shouldn't have disappeared, but we really can't find them anywhere within a hundred miles. It's quite strange, but their dried yellow peaches are really delicious."
"I don't know if this is the last time I'll deal with them. They're treating us like thieves. Is that really necessary?"
"It's necessary. After all, the investigation is strict now. Who would dare to take the risk? They all have families, so they have to be careful. There's nothing wrong with what they're doing."
"If you were them, you'd be treating them like thieves, which is understandable. Let's just go back and report. This guy definitely won't make it today..."
The four men left looking disheveled.
Inside the space, however, the scene was quite different. Gu Sinian had happily cooked four dishes and a soup, and the two of them were enjoying a wonderful time together.
"Cheers. May we sell out all the goods we brought today. We don't have much stock left. From now on, we'll just have Sun Xuelin deliver the goods to the supply and marketing cooperative on time."
Su Ying frowned, somewhat puzzled as to why Gu Sinian would suddenly ask Comrade Sun to help with the delivery.
This delivery job is pretty good.
They could take this opportunity to go out and have fun, and also have some alone time, which is great. Why did they hand over this good job to someone else?
"Why don't we continue delivering? This job is quite good."
Gu Sinian also thought this job was pretty good. He could spend a day alone with his wife and a few hours alone in his space. Wouldn't he want to live such a good life?
“Tian Gou is no ordinary person. If he finds out about us, we’ll be in deep trouble. Our identities are both very sensitive, and we can’t afford to cause even the slightest disturbance.”
"I am quite satisfied with my current wonderful life. My family is all alive and well, and I have been able to marry the woman I love. I am already much luckier than most people..."
Thinking back to Tian Gou, whom she met today, she realized how arrogant and unreasonable he was. If she weren't in a hurry to sell off that batch of stockpiled goods, she wouldn't have bothered cooperating with that Tian Gou.
She could have stored the goods in her spatial storage and then sold the gold and silver jewelry there to make money, but that was too risky, and Gu Sinian was unwilling to do so...
Since this is what Willow Tree Village grows, and it's all naturally grown in the Tianshan Mountains, selling it for 1.5 yuan per kilogram is already quite remarkable. This is already very good for Willow Tree Village...
There's no need to take such a big risk for these dried yellow peaches...
