Chapter 85 Eating Watermelon
Meng Guan called out the man's identity: "Yu Chengping, Director of the Public Security Bureau."
Everyone was silent.
A police chief, a policeman who received a medal of honor for cracking down on human traffickers and saved many broken families, is actually an accomplice of human traffickers?
Is there anything in the world more ridiculous and absurd than this?
Ye Rou grabbed Jiang Chen's hand and asked him, "What are you going to do?"
Jiang Chen carelessly embraced Ye Rou and rubbed his chin against her fluffy hair: "Don't worry."
He turned to look at Zhou Liang and said, "The village chief of Lijia Village definitely has something on Yu Chengping. Find someone to keep an eye on him during this period."
Zhou Liang agreed and went out immediately.
Jiang Chen looked at Meng Guan and said, "Keep an eye on that yard. If Wang Meng makes any movement, tell me."
Meng Guan nodded immediately.
After both of them left, only Ye Rou and Jiang Chen were left in the room.
Ye Rou looked up at him and asked, "Aren't you afraid that Wang Meng will leave?"
Jiang Chen sneered: "He won't leave."
He hasn't found that batch of gold yet. That is the capital that Wang Meng prepared for his own turnaround. He will not leave until he finds the gold.
Seeing that he was in a bad mood, Ye Rou diverted his attention: "I'm hungry."
Jiang Chen smiled and said, "Come on, I'll take you to a restaurant."
Ye Rou nodded and followed Jiang Chen out. This courtyard was large and remote. There were several other courtyards in this alley, all of which were quiet. The dark red gates and the alleys made of green stone bricks were so quiet that it was a little scary.
She approached Jiang Chen and asked anxiously, "Why is it so quiet here?"
Jiang Chen said casually: "These are all my houses, no one lives in them."
Ye Rou's eyes widened: "This alley is all yours?"
Jiang Chen shook his head.
Ye Rou breathed a sigh of relief.
"Not only this alley, but this whole area belongs to me."
It wasn't until they walked out of that area that Ye Rou came to her senses. Her eyes sparkled and she said in admiration, "Jiang Chen, you're so rich!"
In her previous life, she was a doctor in a first-tier city. She saved money and used the loan from her parents' inheritance to buy an 80-square-meter house. The monthly mortgage payment was frighteningly high, and she really didn't dare to take a day off.
Changdu Town benefited from good economic policies and was transformed from a small village into a city-level city, but housing prices have been rising.
She had originally been thinking about whether she could find a way to earn some money to buy a house as a retirement insurance, but she didn't expect that the big boss was right next to her.
She smiled flatteringly, her cheeks puffed up, and her voice was so sweet that honey could flow out: "Jiang Chen, you are even more handsome now that you are rich."
Jiang Chen sneered and pinched her face: "Money-grubber."
"The two greatest pursuits in life are sudden wealth and freedom." Ye Rou recited the perverse logic she had heard, making Jiang Chen laugh out loud.
He leaned over and kissed Ye Rou, his voice filled with an unfinished smile: "If you like it, I'll give it to you."
"Okay." Ye Rou agreed immediately with a cheerful voice. Seeing Jiang Chen's evil smile, she said cautiously, "Are you kidding me?"
Jiang Chen shook his head and pointed to his cheek: "Kiss me and I'll give it all to you."
Ye Rou didn't hesitate and threw herself into Jiang Chen's arms, kissing him passionately and intimately with her red lips.
A kiss in exchange for a large house is worth it.
——
Ye Rou and Jiang Chen came out of the state-owned hotel.
Jiang Chen asked her, "Do you still want to go shopping?"
The two standard features of the black market and scrap collection station era literature, Ye Rou thought that since she was already here, she must check in, and pestered Jiang Chen to go and see it.
Jiang Chen looked at her helplessly, not knowing from whom she learned this way of acting coquettishly, and he hugged her arm and rocked her.
The little monster was very strong, and Jiang Chen's head hurt from being shaken. He immediately agreed to her request: "I'll take you there, right now."
Ye Rou smiled like a cunning little fox.
Jiang Chen took Ye Rou and turned a corner to the so-called black market.
"arrive."
"So fast?" Although Ye Rou was surprised, she still went to see it excitedly.
The legendary black market is located in an alley, with only two or three people sitting there. It is neither lively nor mysterious.
Ye Rou said disappointedly: "Is this the black market?"
"Do you think it's as busy as the supply and marketing store?" Jiang Chen flicked her head. "There's no fixed trading location in the black market. Those who come here only have designated buyers and want to trade secretly."
Ye Rou was disappointed, but since she was already here, she took Jiang Chen inside.
Just as she walked a little further, the melon-eating warning in Ye Rou's head rang.
Ding Ding Ding Ding
The next second, Ye Rou saw Zhao Wan.
Ever since Zhao Wan accidentally saw Jiang Chen on the news in her previous life, she has been paying attention to Jiang Chen's information.
At an international jewelry exhibition, Jiang Chen provided a bright green jade bracelet as an exhibit, worth 200 million!
She saw a jewelry exhibition online, and the vice president of Jiang Chen's company said that Jiang Chen had accidentally found it on the black market. She remembered the approximate time.
Zhao Wan has been wandering around the black market these days just to find this bracelet.
Hard work pays off, and she finally found it.
An elderly woman with a kind face was sitting on a small stool with a torn bed sheet in front of her and a lot of miscellaneous things on it.
The dark green jade bracelet pressed down one corner, which made Zhao Wan feel heartbroken.
She suppressed her excitement and pretended to walk over casually. She squatted in front of the stall, picked up the tacky jar with a red goldfish pattern, and asked, "How much is this?"
She thought five dollars was the maximum a broken jar could cost.
Finally, the old woman smiled and said, "Five hundred."
"Five hundred!" Zhao Wan's eyes widened and she almost cursed.
What kind of broken jar is being sold for five hundred?
The old lady seemed to understand her complaint and said with a smile, "A five-colored, fish and algae-patterned covered jar from the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty."
Zhao Wan was speechless after hearing this. The old woman was really good at bragging.
She caught a glimpse of the jade bracelet, put down the jar, and picked up a palm-sized stone ornament shaped like a round bird. She asked, "How much is this?"
The old lady glanced at it and said, "Twenty."
"It's so expensive." Zhao Wan took twenty yuan without hesitation.
She immediately made an expression that she liked it very much but it was too expensive, and started bargaining: "Can you make it cheaper?"
Seeing that she really liked it, the old lady relented and said, "Nineteen, it can't be any cheaper."
Seeing that Zhao Wan was still reluctant, the old lady immediately said, "This is a purple clay quail paperweight from the Qing Dynasty! It can't be any cheaper."
Zhao Wan rolled her eyes and didn't believe it at all. Who was she trying to fool?
She simply said, "This price is fine. Let me get something in return."
The old lady didn't say anything, so Zhao Wan just assumed that she agreed.
Zhao Wan pretended to be casual and pointed at the jade bracelet: "That bracelet, I think the color is quite bright."
She immediately went to get it after she said that, but when her hand was halfway out, it was slapped away by an old, wrinkled hand!
The old lady's eyes, which had been squinting, opened up, and her dark pupils were cold.
Zhao Wan seemed to be seen through from inside out by this look, and her little thoughts had nowhere to hide.
The old lady scolded her harshly, "You look so young, but you're so frivolous. You're taking advantage of me, an old lady, and you're not afraid of losing your family line!"
"I've eaten more salt than you've walked. If you want to play tricks on me, don't buy it if you can't afford it. I don't need your little tricks!"
The old lady continued to press forward: "I see your eyes are rolling around, you must be after the jade bracelet. You want it but don't say it directly, and beat around the bush. Even an old woman like me is tired of you. How can you think that I don't know the value of the goods and will sell it to you after you have fooled me with a few words?"
Zhao Wan's face turned blue and red as she was scolded. Unable to maintain her expression, she cursed, "You old woman, you're selling these junks for twenty or five hundred! I wonder who would buy these things from you!"
As soon as she finished speaking, a familiar male voice sounded.
"I'll buy it."
