Liu Sanzi wasn't worried about her not coming. Even if the illness at home was fake, the price of the pastries at one yuan per pound was real.
He didn't think anyone could refuse such a good opportunity to make money.
Jia Yue left the black market, walked into the crowd, made sure no one was following her, found a secluded spot, took out a damp cloth from her bag (space), wiped her face clean, straightened her back, and disappeared back into the crowd.
