Chapter 203: Buying and Selling (6)
Ji Yushu felt relieved, and his smile became more sincere. He said, "I've been keeping an eye on the news for you over the past few years. Now that there's some progress, I feel very relieved."
"It's actually okay for us to wait here for him," said Chen Yuehai, the younger Second Young Master of the Chen family, who spoke with even more youthful vigor. "As long as the news is true, there's nothing wrong with waiting for half a month. But if it's false... If you tease our Jiangnan Chen family like this, don't blame us brothers for being rude."
Ji Yushu's heart, which had just calmed down, suddenly turned unhappy again. He didn't care if the Chen brothers acted arrogantly, but seeing them act so arrogantly on his territory really made him very unhappy. His smile remained unchanged, but his tone was a little colder. "My Fengxian Pawnshop only deals in information trading. If this business is successful, we exchange money for money. If not, we will go our separate ways. I don't care what Brother Chen wants to do. My Fengxian Pawnshop is a clean business and we can't afford any trouble."
Chen Yueshan paused and glared at his brother fiercely. He knew that the seemingly friendly and harmless boy across from him was very powerful, and his methods were definitely not as simple as he showed at the moment.
Chen Yuehai saw his brother's expression and knew he had said the wrong thing, so he didn't continue. The atmosphere fell silent.
After a while, there were footsteps at the door. It was Hongling who came forward with a smile, opened the bead curtain, and said to Ji Yushu with a smile: "Boss, the guests are here."
The two Chen brothers subconsciously looked towards the door, and a girl in purple walked out from behind Hongling. The girl was pretty and lovely, and looked to be about thirteen or fourteen years old. But for some reason, her eyes were as calm as water, and she seemed to be a lot older. For a moment, people were a little confused.
She opened the curtain, sat down on the empty chair, and nodded to Ji Yushu: "Manager Ji."
"This... girl," Chen Yueshan said with difficulty, "is she the one who sold the information?"
Hong Ling smiled and retreated again. Only the Chen brothers, Shen Miao, and Ji Yushu were left in the tea room. Shen Miao said, "Not bad."
Chen Yuehai's expression changed, and he sneered, "Girl, how old were you three years ago? Are you deliberately teasing us?"
"There are many ways to get the news. Maybe I didn't see it with my own eyes, and maybe I didn't know it three years ago. Business is about results, and the Chen family is nothing to trifle with."
Ji Yushu couldn't help laughing with a puff. When he saw Chen Yuehai's ugly expression, he quickly said seriously, "Miss Shen is right. Business is all about results. As for the process, it's not important."
"Really?" Chen Yuehai looked at Shen Miao and said indifferently, "Then I wonder if this Miss Shen can really guarantee that the news is true? It is true that business depends on results, so if the result is true, my two brothers will naturally reward you handsomely, but if it is not... do you know what the consequences will be?" At the end, Chen Yuehai's tone suddenly became gloomy.
Those who live in the underworld are generally a bit fierce. The ferocity that burst out at that moment is enough to scare ordinary people, at least it is more than enough to scare a little girl.
But in silence, Shen Miao stared at him without blinking, without a trace of fluctuation in her expression. Her calm appearance made Chen Yuehai look like an unreasonable person.
Ji Yushu wanted to laugh, but couldn't, so he had to hold it in. Chen Yueshan, who had been silent the entire time, finally spoke: "Miss Shen, my brother was a bit reckless, and I apologize on his behalf. We two came here sincerely to buy this information. If your information is true, we will definitely reward you with ten thousand gold coins."
"Ten thousand gold is not necessary," Shen Miao said, "Just give as much as you think fit. The Chen family in Jiangnan has many connections, and I just want to make a good relationship with them. I might be in trouble in the future and need the Chen family's help. I hope you two will consider this news and give me some help."
Facing two men who were much older and more experienced than her, she spoke without losing face. Her words were well-organized and had a certain air of chivalry, which made Chen Yueshan look up to her and bowed in agreement. However, Ji Yushu was already cursing Shen Miao in his heart as a profiteer. He had to know that all the money from the sale of this news would go to Fengxian Pawnshop, but Shen Miao had taken the initiative to offer less money. Wasn't she trying to make Fengxian Pawnshop earn less?
"You'd better tell me the news." Chen Yuehai was a little anxious.
Shen Miao glanced at him and said, "The Chen sisters disappeared in Yuzhou, Jiangnan. In fact, they were abducted. The mastermind behind the abduction of the two sisters was the brother of His Majesty, Prince Yu."
After these words were spoken, the three people in the tea room fell silent. In the other secret room next to the tea room, the two people in the room were also startled. The young man in white even shouted, "Prince Yu?"
The purple-robed youth stroked the jade cup in his hand, then suddenly smiled and spoke slowly, "Interesting."
