Chapter 393 Ambush



Han Yixian smiled and looked at He Yuhan, saying, "It seems my wife is also a business genius. It's a pity that there is no private economy in China. If it were an era where business could be conducted freely, you would definitely be a successful businesswoman."

He Yuhan thought to herself, "I am indeed a successful businesswoman. And I will have the opportunity to do business on my own in the future."

The two of them finished their work very late and went into the space to rest.

The next morning, the two of them left the space early to wait for Uncle Kun to deliver the jade and pick up the goods.

Zhong Kun arrived very early with his men, driving several trucks. The trucks were full of jade.

Han Yi first opened the warehouse and let Uncle Kun in, explaining what supplies were there and asking Uncle Kun what he wanted.

Zhong Kun was very surprised to see the warehouse filled with supplies. He thought to himself, "As expected of the successor of the Han family, he really has guts. Ordinary people can't get so many supplies."

Zhong Kun simply didn't believe Han Yixian was acting on behalf of someone else. He thought Han Yixian was only saying that because he didn't want him to suffer a loss. After all, their two families had a relationship for so many years, and he was very familiar with the Han family's way of doing things.

It was precisely because the Han family was righteous and fair in their dealings and never let others suffer losses that he maintained contact with them.

The successor of the Han family in this generation will definitely be Han Yixian. In his opinion, Han Yixian is more courageous than his ancestors, and he is also very upright in his conduct. He is a person worth befriending, which is why he is willing to continue to associate with the Han family.

Take this incident for example; Han Yixian will definitely not treat him unfairly. He will reciprocate and will not let Han Yixian suffer any loss.

After showing Zhong Kun around the warehouse, Han Yixian said, "Uncle Kun, now you know what supplies I have. See what supplies you want. We can exchange them at market price."

Ah Kun nodded and said, "Okay, let's do it this way. I want ten tons of rice and ten tons of wheat, and other supplies like sugar and oil as well. I'll have someone calculate it and give you the results in a bit."

I'll have someone unload the jade into the warehouse for you first.

Then Zhong Kun directed people to move pieces of jade of all sizes, colors, clarity, and texture into the warehouse, and weigh them according to their different varieties.

He Yuhan looked at the crystal-clear jadeite and sighed in admiration. The jadeite's clarity and texture were mostly excellent; she guessed that Uncle Kun had specially transported only top-quality jadeite for them.

The last truckload of low-quality jade wasn't even weighed; Zhong Kun said he'd just give it to Han Yixian.

He Yuhan remarked that Uncle Kun was quite generous. However, they couldn't let him suffer a loss, so in the end, Han Yixian also used the truckload of jade to offset some supplies.

He Yuhan thought that if people in future generations saw so much jade of such high quality, they would go crazy. It was unbelievable that they could exchange so much jade for just some resources.

These jadeite pieces include glass-type jadeite with imperial green and emerald green hues, as well as red jadeite, chicken-fat yellow jadeite, jadeite with auspicious symbols like "Fu Lu Shou" (福禄寿), black jadeite, and golden thread jadeite, among other colors and qualities—truly a dazzling array of colors.

In later generations, a single piece of imperial green jadeite of this type could be exchanged for several warehouses' worth of supplies.

He Yuhan took two deep breaths, thinking to herself, "They've really struck it rich this time." With both sides backing each other up, she could use the jade to earn a huge sum of money, buy back more supplies and necessary equipment—it was truly a highly profitable business.

Zhong Kun left Han Yixian some jade and transported away all the supplies he had exchanged for the jade.

He was pleasantly surprised when he got home and saw the grain he had exchanged. The grains were all plump and full. If Han Yixian hadn't told him that these grains were hybrid varieties and couldn't be used as seed, he would have sold them to farmers for seed. They were truly good grains.

The other side dishes were also of very good quality. Zhong Kun was very satisfied.

He acquired a large amount of supplies and did not forget Han Yixian's instructions. He used the supplies he obtained to promote Han Yixian's supplies. Soon, several people with large quantities of jade and gemstones approached Zhong Kun, hoping that he could act as a bridge to exchange their jade and gemstones for supplies.

Everyone was afraid that supplies were limited and they would miss out if they were slow to exchange for them, so they rushed to bring their own things to exchange for supplies. In this way, the supplies in the warehouse were quickly exchanged out, and He Yuhan's space was filled with a large number of high-quality jade and gemstones.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Han Yixian and He Yuhan filled another warehouse with supplies. This time, in addition to jade, some people even brought gold and silver jewelry to exchange for supplies. Han Yixian accepted all offers without hesitation.

After running out of supplies for the second round, Han Yi decided to end the trip and return home as soon as possible.

Han Yixian was also worried that staying too long would attract the attention of certain armed forces, which would cause trouble. This place was already not peaceful, so it was best to be careful.

They have already made a huge profit by acquiring so much jade, gemstones, gold, and silver in such a short time.

After saying goodbye to He Yuhan and Zhong Kun, Han Yixian prepared to return to China the next day.

That night, the two of them turned off the lights and lay in bed, but before they could fall asleep, Han Yixian's keen ears heard chaotic footsteps coming from outside their house.

He Yuhan also heard it, and the two exchanged a glance in the darkness. Han Yixian immediately got up and quietly went to the window. He saw a group of people coming to the courtyard outside the two-story building. They were clearly not ordinary people because they were all carrying guns.

He Yuhan also went to the window and saw the scene below. She immediately went to the other window to check and found that their house had been surrounded. It looked like a group of armed men.

These people surrounding this place are clearly targeting the couple; they probably heard they have a large amount of supplies and are trying to take them.

Hmph, don't they know who they are? Would they dare to so openly exchange supplies without being confident?

He Yuhan quickly put all their belongings into her spatial storage and tidied up the room so that it would look like the people living there had already left.

He Yuhan came to Han Yixian's side and whispered, "We can't get out for now. Let's go into the space. If they can't find us, they'll probably think we've left and will retreat."

Han Yi nodded and hugged He Yuhan tightly, saying, "We were ambushed. Luckily we have a spatial ability, otherwise we would have been trapped here today. Yuhan, you are truly my lucky star."

He then gave He Yuhan a kiss.

He Yuhan glared at Han Yixian in the darkness. This guy, at a time like this, still has the mood to joke around. He's really fearless.

He Yuhan pulled Han Yixian into the space. The two of them didn't care what was happening outside; these people would naturally leave if they couldn't find them. They just treated it as a relaxing break in the space.
