Deng Zhi also felt that something was amiss and recounted the incident in detail.

"I felt like they were coming for me. They checked me without even looking at anyone else when I entered the carriage. Then they found the goods and took me off the train with them."

Back in the courtyard, Yun Mo and Ling Chuan discussed paying the fine for Deng Zhi.

Ling Chuan spoke first, "Momo, Uncle Zhi is a man of honor. He took the blame alone this time. We can't just ignore him."

"Of course. Actually, 10,000 is not a lot. We and the Deng family each contributed 5,000, which is just enough to make up 10,000 to pay Uncle Zhi's fine."

Yun Mo's sensibleness made Lingchuan secretly relieved.

Yun Mo looked at the man, not knowing what to say for a moment.

They made 15,000 yuan on the last trip, and they and the Deng family each got 7,500 yuan. This time, when they went to pick up the goods, both parties took out 2,500 yuan each, leaving them with 5,000 yuan.

Now, the goods worth 2,500 have been confiscated, and the remaining 5,000 has to be paid as a fine.

After half a month of hard work, I ended up with nothing. It was really disappointing.

Yun Mo's silence made Ling Chuan a little nervous, thinking that she was unhappy because she was worried about the money.

"Momo, don't worry, I will make all the money back in the future."

Yun Mo sighed, "Let's rescue Uncle Zhi first. There will be plenty of opportunities to do business in the future."

After a pause, Yun Mo continued, "Lingchuan, the 5,000 yuan we paid will also be given to my sister-in-law."

Ling Chuan was silent for a moment, then nodded, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Yun Mo was very satisfied with the man's attitude. Although she didn't need the 400 yuan, she was really fed up with Li Li and decided to teach her a lesson.

At night, Yun Mo tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep, thinking about what Deng Zhi said.

There are only two possibilities for the public security organs to handle the case accurately. One is that they had already been keeping an eye on Deng Zhi and were just waiting for the right time to strike.

But this possibility is not high. Deng Zhi has always been a law-abiding person before, and he had just started doing this, so he was not targeted by the economic investigation team so quickly.

Then there is only one other possibility, that someone is targeting him behind the scenes and reported Deng Zhi to the Economic Investigation Team.

But who could this person be? Is it the Yun family, a competitor, or someone else?

Yun Mo thought about it for half the night and fell into a deep sleep in the second half of the night. As expected, she woke up late the next day.

Since she would be late for morning self-study anyway, and she had important things to do today, Yun Mo simply called the school and asked for leave.

When eating breakfast, seeing that she had no appetite, Ling Chuan asked with concern: "Momo, you don't look well, are you feeling unwell?"

"It's okay. I didn't sleep well last night."

Ling Chuan's face was filled with heartache and guilt. "Momo, I'm sorry. I didn't make any money, and I made you worry."

"Everything is difficult at the beginning. We are still lucky. We didn't make any money, but we didn't lose anything either. We are better than most, but better than most."

After a pause, Yun Mo suddenly said, "In fact, we made a profit."

Seeing Ling Chuan looking at her in confusion, Yun Mo smiled and said, "Through this incident, we got to know Captain Wan. This will give us another connection, which may be useful someday."

Ling Chuan was startled, then suddenly realized.

After finding out that Wanyuanbai was fond of collecting antiques, Yun Mo took out the dragon-patterned jar from the space, washed it, pickled a jar of fresh sour beans, and then took it to the Economic Investigation Brigade.

"Captain Wan, these are some sour beans I pickled myself. They taste pretty good. You can take them home and try them."

As an antique lover, Wanyuanbai recognized at a glance that the jar containing sour beans was an antique.

The only person who could think of giving him a gift in the form of sour beans is the girl in front of him.

What a wonderful person.

Wanyuanbai looked at the two of them with a smile, "I've had a lot of cases recently and I've been under a lot of pressure. I don't have much appetite, so I just want to eat something sour to stimulate my appetite. I won't be polite then."

Yun Mo smiled and said, "You don't have to be polite. It's just a jar of sour beans. It's not something valuable."

It wasn't the Yun family who was behind this, but they were reported by someone.

What’s interesting is that the informant is from the Old Street area.

In the afternoon, Yun Mo gathered the two families, including Ling Jiang and Li Li, and everyone sat down to discuss the fine.

"We agreed that Uncle Zhi and Ling Chuan would each own half of this business. Now that Uncle Zhi is in trouble, the fine will be borne by both of us in half. What do you think?"

The Deng family certainly had no objection. Deng Zhi was the backbone of the family. Not to mention spending 5,000, they would have to spend 50,000 to get him out.

Seeing that there was no problem with the Deng family, Yun Mo looked at Li Li again and took out the equity participation letter she had written earlier.

"Sister-in-law, according to our equity participation agreement, you own 8% of this business, so you have to pay 400 of the 5,000 fine."

When she heard that she had to pay, Li Li exploded like a cat whose tail was stepped on.

"Why should I pay 400? I gave you money to do business with me, and you lost all my money. I didn't cause you any trouble, but you still have the nerve to ask me for money. Mr. Yun, let me tell you, let alone 400, I won't even pay 4 yuan!"

Yun Mo had anticipated Li Li's reaction and was not angry. She shook the shareholding certificate in her hand.

"It's written in black and white. Sister-in-law, are you not going to admit it?"

"So what if I don't admit it? Anyway, I don't have any money, but I have my life. If you insist on taking money from me, then take my life instead."

Seeing Li Li acting like a rogue, Yun Mo said nothing more and turned to ask Ling Jiang, "Brother, what do you think about this?"

Ling Jiang took two puffs of his pipe and said, "Chuanzi, sister-in-law, your sister-in-law owes you money. She doesn't acknowledge it, but I do. Give me some time, and I will find a way to raise the money for you."

Li Li refused to give in and yelled hysterically, "Why are you admitting it? How can you pay back such a large sum of money?"

Ling Jiang looked at his wife unhappily, "You also know that 400 is not a small amount, so why didn't you blink an eye when you invested it? I told you a long time ago that the bolder the person, the more fertile the land. If you don't have the ability, don't even think about having this bowl of rice. This incident is a bloody lesson!"

"How could I know that things would turn out like this? If I had known, I would definitely not have invested! Can you blame me for this? Everything was fine last time and I made so much money. Why did I get arrested by the police when it was my turn to make money? I lost hundreds of dollars. Who can I go to for justice? Why is my life so miserable?"

Yun Mo would not fall for Li Li's crying poor and pitiful tricks, "Sister-in-law, please save your tears. Crying won't solve the problem. Otherwise, if we all go to the police station and cry, wouldn't we be able to save a lot of money?"

Li Li pretended not to understand Yun Mo's words and continued crying hard.

Yun Mo sneered, "It's okay, sister-in-law, just cry slowly. We have plenty of time. When you're done crying, we can talk about this again."

Li Li cried and said, "There's nothing to talk about. I don't have any money anyway."

"Sister-in-law, don't worry about your sister-in-law. I said I will admit it and I will never break my promise."

Hearing what her husband said, Li Li started to howl again, "Old Ling, stop pretending to be a pig with a green onion in its nose. We can't afford even a penny!"

"If I don't have money, I'll sell everything I own. If that doesn't work, I'll sell my house!"

“You dare!”

"See if I dare."

Yun Mo interrupted their quarrel and said, "Brother and sister-in-law, I have an idea. As long as sister-in-law agrees, I will help her pay for it."

"What's the idea?"

When she heard that she didn't have to pay, Li Li immediately stopped arguing with Ling Jiang.

Yun Mo smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, I actually have something I want to ask you."

"Go ahead and ask. I can't stop you from talking."

"Have you ever told anyone else about Ling Chuan and Uncle Zhi reselling electronic watches?"

Li Li was startled but denied it, "Of course not. I'm not stupid. How could I tell anyone about my money-making business and let others take advantage of me for nothing?"
