Chapter 261 Caught

You know, Luo Cheng has always been a man of strong principles. As far as this matter is concerned, he has never made an exception even if he made more money.

You agreed without thinking today?

"So... should we give Mr. Zhang a discount of 5,000? Or 10,000?" Dahei asked tentatively.

Luo Cheng raised his head and looked at Da Hei, saying sarcastically, "Look at what you have accomplished. What do you mean by five or ten thousand? Didn't Lao Zhang say that he could give it half the price? Let him give it half the price."

Dahei started to stutter: "Brother Luo...Brother Luo, we...don't take a cent?"

Luo Cheng looked at him: "What do you think?"

Dahei: “…”

Dahei: "Brother Luo, are you sure you really don't like Sister Juan'er? Do you really not want to be with her?"

Otherwise, thirty thousand, just give it as a favor?

Luo Cheng raised his hand as if to slap him: "I'm going to slap you! Didn't I tell you that? You're already married and have kids! Am I such a jerk, Luo? Can't find a wife or what? And you're still trying to like me?"

Dahei dodged cleverly and couldn't help muttering: "If you can find it, then go find it... I've been talking about it for several years, but I haven't even seen the shadow of a girl..."

Luo Cheng cracked his hands and asked, "What are you mumbling about?"

Dahei ran away with a strong desire to survive: "Nothing to say! I told you, Brother Luo, you will definitely find someone to get out of this situation soon!"

Luo Cheng looked at Dahei running away and couldn't help but laugh and curse.

Doing Xia Juanjuan this favor... well, thirty thousand is a bit high.

How many business trips does he have to make to earn back the money?

However, the words were out, and there was no reason for him to take them back.

It would be a lie to say that he had no selfish motives towards Xia Juanjuan in giving this gift.

But more importantly, it was to prevent Xia Juanjuan from cutting off her business with him in the future.

These days, he still couldn't figure out where Xia Juanjuan got so many supplies, but he really made money.

Not to mention other things, just those Western medicines, he tried to get them from Hong Kong, but sometimes he couldn't get them, but Xia Juanjuan just gave them to him in boxes!

He made thousands of dollars just from those few bills from Western medicine.

However, Xia Juanjuan is not active in making money and would give up easily.

Therefore, he was doing a favor for Xia Juanjuan today just to improve their business relationship!

The next day, Xia Juanjuan came again. When she heard that the owner of the courtyard house, Lao Zhang, was willing to sell it for half the price, only 30,000 yuan, Xia Juanjuan was stunned.

She really wanted to ask the owner if he had been kicked on the head by a donkey in his dream last night and became stupid?

——Of course not.

Lao Zhang sold it at half the price, and looked happy but also worried, as he was afraid that Xia Juanjuan would change her mind and not buy it!

No matter how dumb Xia Juanjuan was, she guessed that the price had been reduced, but the favor was probably still owed.

However, for the sake of the courtyard, she accepted it for the time being.

He handed over the prepared 30,000 yuan, a total of 3,000 large reunion notes and a thick banknote of 30 taels of silver to Lao Zhang, and then got the key and title deed of the courtyard house from Lao Zhang. He also wrote a house transfer document, and after both parties signed and put their fingerprints on it, the transaction was completed.

Xia Juanjuan directly paid Dahei Sanbai the middleman fee.

Dahei couldn't help but sigh that Xia Juanjuan was really generous.

He was just trying to get some advice, and although he had been asking around for a few months, that was just a side job. The three hundred was still easy money for him.

After coming out of the courtyard, Xia Juanjuan asked, "Dahei, Luocheng is in Beijing, right? I want to see him."

Dahei was a little embarrassed, but he couldn't persuade Xia Juanjuan, so he took her over anyway.

Luo Cheng's grandfather's residence was also a courtyard house, which was surprisingly not far from Xia Juanjuan's.

Xia Juanjuan did not hesitate and directly took out the remaining ten thousand yuan she had and placed it on the table.

A ten-yuan group gathering is a total of ten douzi.

Luo Cheng looked up at her, smiled and asked, "What does this mean?"

Xia Juanjuan smiled and said, "It's the money for the courtyard house. I don't like to owe favors to others. I'll owe you the remaining 20,000 yuan first and pay you back later."

Xia Juanjuan interrupted him and said with a smile: "Luo Cheng, you don't need to lie in front of me, right? That old Zhang might be able to give me a discount, but he took the initiative to reduce the price by half, and he was afraid that I wouldn't buy it. If I still can't see the difference, wouldn't I be a fool?"

Luo Cheng chuckled with a guilty conscience, and simply admitted generously: "Well... that's true. However, I did this not for you, but purely for our future business. If you really want to pay me back, let's do this. I'll keep the ten thousand, and think of it as Lao Zhang giving you a discount of twenty thousand. For the rest, you can just sell me more supplies in the future. What do you think?"

After hearing this, Xia Juanjuan still felt that she owed a favor, but she thought it was reasonable, so she agreed.

After the matter was resolved, Xia Juanjuan went home.

Luocheng sent her to the door and asked Dahei to accompany her to the house he rented.

When they were leaving the alley, they were spotted by someone.

"Hey! Haozi! Come here and take a look. Does the woman passing by look like my sister-in-law?"

"Sister-in-law? What sister-in-law?"

"Hey! Why don't you change your mind? She's our leader's wife!"

"Are you crazy? Did you see it wrong? Isn't Captain Li's wife a farmer? Why is she here? Besides, I only saw her once, how can you remember her so clearly?"

"Tsk! Look for yourself, I think they look alike!"

The man called Haozi took a casual look at her, but after a quick glance, he started to take it seriously: "They... they really look alike. But... why is she walking with that guy called Dahei?"

"Don't talk nonsense! There are so many people who look alike in the world. Maybe we have made a mistake! Let's go back and send a telegram to the leader and tell him before making a decision..."

These two were Li Zhan's soldiers. They were on rotation and did not go on the mission together. Li Zhan asked them to help investigate the incident of Li Qiang coming to the city to sell jade two days ago.

Both of them were former reconnaissance soldiers and were good at disguise. After hanging out in the black market for two days, they found out that it was Dahei's men who bought the jade. They followed Dahei this time, so they met Xia Juanjuan.

Besides them, there was another person who saw it.

Fu Nanzheng frowned slightly.

They did look a bit alike just now...but it doesn't make sense, how could Xia Juanjuan know Luo Cheng?

Or... she is Luo Cheng's girlfriend, who just happens to look a little like Xia Juanjuan?

Fu Nanzheng decided to ask directly.

After knocking on the door, Luo Cheng heard that it was him, so he opened the door and let him in.

Fu Nanzheng asked directly, "Is the girl who just left your house your girlfriend?"

It turns out that Luo Cheng was from the same compound as the Fu family. He was about the same age as Fu Nanzheng, so they had a close relationship.

After Grandpa Luocheng passed away, Luocheng followed his parents to Shanghai for work transfer.

However, when Luo Cheng returned to Beijing later, his relationship with Fu Nanzheng did not become unfamiliar, and they remained good friends.

Luo Cheng sighed and said, "Look at my face..."

Fu Nanzheng's face was paralyzed for a moment, and he said, "You are not as handsome as me, what do you want me to look at?"

Luo Cheng: “…”

Luo Cheng said unhappily, "Did I show you that I'm lucky in love? I thought so, but I was rejected right after I confessed my love to her. She's married! No chance!"

Fu Nanzheng frowned again.

Married?

It can't really be...

"What's your name?"

Luo Cheng stared at her warily: "Why are you asking this? Are you attracted to her too? What? Are you planning to give up Yue..."

Fu Nanzheng raised his head and glared at him.

Luo Cheng swallowed the name and sighed, "Ah... you two are really something... Forget it, can I just not say it?"

Fu Nanzheng said, "Don't change the subject. What was the name of that girl just now?"

Luo Cheng said: "Her name is Dong Juan. We just met by chance before, nothing serious."

Dong Juan?

Even the names are similar...

Fu Nanzheng was a little confused. Could that person really be Xia Juanjuan? But... wasn't she in the countryside? How did she come to Beijing? Because of the introduction letter, it was feasible for her to come to Beijing to visit her relatives.

But generally speaking, it is easy to get a letter of introduction to go to your own county, but if you want to cross the province or come to the city - especially Beijing, it is not so easy to get one without a valid reason, right?

But it is very similar.

If that's true, then Luo Cheng really didn't lie just now?

Does he really have nothing to do with Xia Juanjuan?

If Luo Cheng is really related to Xia Juanjuan, should he stand on the side of Li Zhan or Xia Juanjuan?

Although his family had investigated Xia Juanjuan's background, they found no evidence to prove that Xia Juanjuan was his lost sister. But just because she looked so much like his mother, he felt that she was most likely the same, and in his heart he already regarded Xia Juanjuan as his sister.

But Lizhan is also close to his family, and they have treated each other like brothers over the years...

It's really a headache for him to have to choose suddenly.

Also... whether or not to tell Li Zhan about this is also a question...

Xia Juanjuan didn't know that she had been seen, she still passed through the space and returned to the village.

As a result, I saw that the village was organizing people to go into the mountains.

Secretary Zhao saw her from a distance and said, "Daughter-in-law Lizhan, you must not be impatient..."
