Chu Mingxu stuffed the money into his pocket without counting it in front of everyone.
He knew that a lot of money passed through the black market every day, and he had saved Sun Sheng before, so he wouldn't stoop to playing tricks on him.
“I trust Brother Sun. You probably wouldn’t care about this little bit of money, so why would you skimp on my pay?”
Although Sun Sheng knew it was just a polite remark, he still felt quite pleased to hear it.
"Alright, that's enough. We're out in the middle of nowhere, so I won't keep you here to talk."
"You guys should go back and get some rest. Let's meet again at the black market another day."
Chu Mingxu nodded and then led Zhang Jiayang back.
It's really late now; if they hurry back, they can get three more hours of sleep.
Sun Sheng watched the two disappear into the mountains before returning to his car to doze off.
"Brother Sun, what's so special about that kid that you value him so much?"
The guy who had been weighing things earlier saw that there was nothing else to do, so he went to the car to chat with his boss.
"No ability? Ha, you haven't seen what he's capable of."
Whenever Sun Sheng recalled the thrilling events he had encountered, he couldn't help but admire Chu Mingxu.
I remember that he had just been promoted and became the head of the black market in Anbei County.
These small black markets in county towns are mostly small-scale operations with very limited territories.
However, their black market in Anbei County is protected by a black market boss in Chunshi.
At that time, as the newly appointed head of the black market in Anbei County, he was required to go to Chunshi to meet his superiors.
Of course, his trip to Chunshi was also to demonstrate his loyalty.
As a confidant of the former black market boss in Anbei County, he was promoted to work alongside the top boss.
He naturally became the new black market boss, and the power transition went very smoothly.
But when it comes to the boss above him, he still has to curry favor with him himself.
Otherwise, if too much time passes, the higher-ups might think I'm trying to break away from them and go it alone.
Although he had been working in the black market for many years and had his own network of contacts.
But he knew that those people's goods were small-scale and could not support the operation of the entire county's black market.
Putting aside other things, there are large quantities of food, or goods that are in extremely short supply, such as watches, bicycles, radios, and so on.
Of all the people he knows, none have the ability to get these things from you.
However, he was unlucky that day, as he happened to run into two black market dealers fighting over territory in Chun City.
A group of people were fighting and killing each other; he even saw someone pull out a gun from their waist.
He only had a little skill; he could only beat ordinary people.
Moreover, he was only there to curry favor with his superiors and incidentally deliver money.
Who could have predicted this would happen? He didn't even have a decent weapon on him.
Faced with two well-prepared groups, he could only try to survive by taking advantage of the chaos.
But swords and blades have no eyes; when he finally escaped the center of the fight and reached the outer perimeter...
One of the enemy's henchmen accidentally let go of the axe, which came straight for his chest.
He used to work with his boss in the small town of Anbei County. They had powerful connections in the county's black market, making them practically the only ones in power.
The entire county was under the control of this black market.
Some scattered individuals who wanted to run a black market were also absorbed by them due to a lack of resources.
So, although he looks fierce, he has never actually experienced such a fierce battle.
He was immediately terrified, standing frozen in place, unable to move.
At the critical moment, it was a pebble that Chu Mingxu casually tossed that deflected the axe.
The axe grazed past his ear and embedded itself straight in the ground.
He only glanced at the man's appearance briefly before finding a place to hide.
"So you know him?" It turns out that the person had such a connection with their boss.
No wonder they always took whatever the person hunted, regardless of quantity or quality.
Moreover, those prices seemed to be the highest prices in their respective categories.
He'd been following the boss for two years now, and he'd never seen anyone else receive such treatment.
"No, that's not it. It was so chaotic back then that I didn't even have time to acknowledge him."
The scene was chaotic at the time, and after he hid, no one knew where he went.
However, the chaos ended abruptly.
It seems someone attracted the police, causing both sides to focus on escaping, and the turf war had to end abruptly.
Neither side benefited from this incident, but neither suffered significant losses.
He strongly suspected that it was Chu Mingxu who witnessed the shootout, which led the police to the scene.
However, he also had no evidence to prove that he was that person.
Besides, although everyone was being chased and scattered by the police at the time, very few people actually went inside.
Since none of them sustained serious injuries, they did not pursue the matter further.
"Later, I saw him selling game on the black market in Anbei County, and that's how I got in touch with him."
Sun Sheng was a grateful and loyal person, which meant he had no information about Chu Mingxu.
Otherwise, he would have already made a big fuss about getting people to help him search.
That was a life-saving grace, not some trivial favor.
He will remember this kindness for the rest of his life, and he will never be able to repay it.
Fortunately, he was able to meet him again in Anbei County and get to know him.
He didn't know how to repay the kindness at first, but then he saw him selling game and buying things on the black market.
What a coincidence! He's a black market boss, so he's trying to take care of him.
But for the past two years, Chu Mingxu has always traded with him according to the rules and never made any extra demands.
The only way he could repay the debt of gratitude was to tell Chu Mingxu the time and place they would hunt each month.
This would make it easier for him to sell his prey, without having to travel an extra distance.
Another point is that when Chu Mingxu needs something, he can quickly use the black market channels to get him what he wants.
However, he bought it at the black market price.
All things considered, they didn't take advantage of him.
"Boss, even though he saved you, you don't need to pay so much attention to him."
The younger brother knew that if it was just about repaying a debt of gratitude, there were many ways to do so, and it wasn't necessary for his boss to come and collect the prey every time.
It's important to know that hunting in the countryside is one source of meat for them on the black market.
But this isn't the most profitable or important business, so the boss doesn't need to come every time.
It seemed that he did this so that he could meet with that man surnamed Xia once a month.
Sun Sheng's motivation wasn't just to repay a debt of gratitude; he mainly felt that Brother Xia possessed an extraordinary air about him.
When he first met Brother Xia, even though it was just a fleeting glance, he sensed that he was not an ordinary person.
Although when I saw him again later, he had a calm demeanor and did not have that sharp and aggressive feeling.
But this only adds to his appeal. A person who goes from being full of sharp edges to being reserved and peaceful must have experienced profound things.
