Xu Lai and the two old men walked around the trading market for a while. The two old men seemed to have something they wanted to buy, so she parted ways with them.
Xu Lai circled around to the only gun-related item he saw again, which was an old-fashioned musket at a stall in the dagger and knife section.
Xu Lai pretended to be interested, squatted down, picked up the musket, and examined it closely.
Then he looked up at the stall owner and asked, "Boss, do you have any better ones than this?"
The stall owners were two middle-aged men who looked somewhat alike, so they were probably brothers.
The older man didn't talk much. He stood behind his stall, which was about two meters long, with his arms crossed, watching people come and go, selecting daggers and various knives from his stall.
The younger man was always smiling and seemed very approachable.
He patiently answered all the questions customers had when choosing items.
Upon hearing Xu Lai's words, the man, who had been expressionless the whole time, glanced at her and surprisingly replied, "I didn't expect a young girl like you to be interested in this!"
Xu Lai looked up at the man and said with a smile, "Sigh, uncle, I don't want to be interested either, but lately there have been some blind fools causing trouble for my family!"
Xu Lai's words were subtle, but as a seller, I naturally understood what she meant.
The middle-aged man didn't want to say much, but he felt that the young girl's personality suited him, so he spoke up and said a few more words.
"That stuff is hard to come by, and even if it exists, it's not something an ordinary person can buy!"
Upon hearing the man's words, Xu Lai was immediately very disappointed.
She came out today to try and get two guns for self-defense.
"Brother, brother, are you alright?"
Just as she was debating whether or not to buy the nearly two-meter-long musket, she suddenly heard a commotion not far away.
And she also heard a familiar voice.
Xu Lai thought of his second uncle and old master Xiao, so he quickly put down the musket in his hand, got up and ran over there.
When he squeezed into the crowd, he saw his second uncle and Grandpa Xiao helping a well-dressed old man in his seventies.
The old man must have suddenly fallen ill; his eyes were closed, his face was deathly pale, and he was lying in Old Master Xiao's arms.
The second uncle then busied himself reaching out to pinch the old man's philtrum.
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way now!"
"Old Master Qin? Quickly, prepare the boat and get him back to the Qin residence!"
Before she could get close, she saw seven or eight men dressed like bodyguards in the market holding guns and separating the onlookers.
A man in his thirties, wearing a suit and glasses, rushed into the old man's room from the separated corridor.
"Manager Gu, the boat is ready!"
A bodyguard rushed in to report.
The man called Manager Gu didn't even have time to thank Old Master Xu and Old Master Xiao. He picked up the unconscious old man and tried to rush out the door.
Seeing this, Xu Lai quickly put her hand into her coat pocket and used her mind to take out a palm-sized red box from her spatial storage.
"Wait a minute, does anyone have water?"
Xu Lai quickly stepped forward and showed the name on the box to Manager Gu.
Then, he deftly took out a thumb-sized pill and put it into the old man's mouth.
Gu Ming quickly took the bottled water handed to him by the bodyguard and fed it to the old man in his arms.
Seeing that the old man was still somewhat conscious, perhaps because he smelled the medicine, Xu Lai obediently swallowed the pill in his mouth.
Seeing this, Gu Ming did not dare to move the old man casually, but gently laid the old man's upper body flat in his arms.
"Let's wait another fifteen minutes and see!"
Old Master Qin's identity is extraordinary, and President Qin is not by his side, so Gu Ming made a difficult decision.
Seeing the tense atmosphere, the crowd gathered around, three circles to the left and three circles to the right, all fell silent.
The surrounding environment suddenly became quiet.
One minute passed, two minutes passed, and in less than ten minutes, Old Master Qin in Gu Ming's arms opened his eyes.
When he opened his eyes, Old Master Qin still clearly remembered the pain of his heart racing and being unable to breathe before he fainted, but now he felt much more relaxed.
He took a deep breath and could even feel the smoothness and clarity of the oxygen entering his lungs through his nose.
"Grandpa, it's so good to know you're alright!"
Seeing that the old man was alright, the usually calm Gu Ming excitedly reached out and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
This old man started from scratch in his youth and built the Qin Group single-handedly. The current CEO, Mr. Qin, has always had a very close relationship with the old man and his son.
If something were to happen to the old man in the trading market he was in charge of, he thought that Gu Ming would probably have no place to stand in City C.
Seeing that the old man was alright, Gu Ming personally helped him up, wanting him to rest for a while in the quiet office.
When he saw the young girl and the two uncles who had helped the old man, he immediately explained their actions to the old man in front of him.
"Grandpa, when you fainted, besides those two uncles, this young lady also took out a pill of Angong Niuhuang Wan that she was carrying and fed it to you without hesitation!"
Gu Ming also showed the box containing the medicine to Old Master Qin, which was specially marked as a Hong Kong version.
Before a natural disaster, even a small pill like this would be expensive for ordinary people, and the Hong Kong version is even more expensive.
Now, in this time of extreme shortage of medical supplies, the price is even more astronomical.
Some wealthy and powerful families, especially those with elderly people and children, will spend a lot of money to stock up on Angong Niuhuang Wan.
This thing can be a lifesaver in a critical moment!
"My two brothers, and this young lady, thank you so much! Otherwise, I, Qin, would probably be dead here today!"
Although Qin Tai is the founder of Qin Group, the largest enterprise in City C, he did not put on any airs in front of his savior.
He was deeply grateful to his savior.
"Brothers and young lady, please come to this office for a cup of tea!"
Qin Hua personally led the way, taking the three to the office of Gu Ming, the manager of the trading market.
"So the three of you came here together! What a coincidence!"
Qin Tai personally poured tea for Xu Lai, Xu Jiangming, and Xiao Shan, and asked them some questions.
Especially after learning that Xu Jiangming had served in the army when he was young, and that Xiao Shan had served in the army for decades, they became even more respectful towards them.
"My father was a veteran revolutionary when he was alive!"
Thinking of his deceased father, Qin Tai's face was filled with longing.
