Chapter 152 Cloud Crane Flying
As soon as Lu Yi and his group entered, they saw a lot of people.
Ye Ran exclaimed in admiration, "As expected of Beijing! Even the black market here is so much bigger than ours!"
Lu Yi glanced at her with a smile, "It's normal. Right now, it's just that some people who have heard the rumors are coming out to test the waters a little."
"Once it's fully open for business, there will be even more people here."
Ye Ran smiled, "Of course I know, I was just sighing."
The two people carefully looked around, avoiding the crowd, and finally spotted a lonely old woman in a corner.
The two of them carefully hid behind the crowd, observing her closely.
The old woman, her back hunched, carried a basket of bok choy and quietly waited for passersby to come and buy her vegetables.
Her face was full of wrinkles, her hands were tucked into her sleeves, and her gaze was deep as she looked at the passersby.
Ye Ran was carefully examining her when Lu Yi pulled her to the back.
"What's wrong?" Ye Ran looked at him in surprise.
Lu Yi pointed ahead and whispered, "That's Wang Yuan's wife, Wu Mei. I've met her once before."
Ye Ran cautiously glanced over there. "It's really strange. Her husband is locked up, how come she's in the mood to buy groceries?"
"There must be something fishy going on! Look closely..."
The two of them stared intently at the other side, watching their every move.
Over there, Wu Mei was casually chatting with the old lady about the price of cabbage. "Grandma, how much is the cabbage?"
"Five cents a pound."
"So expensive? Let's lower the price. My husband got into trouble recently, and I don't have much money..."
"It can't be missing. I know it's tough for you, and it's tough for me too."
Please help me!
"Okay, okay, I understand, I'll help you."
Upon hearing this, Wu Mei was delighted, and the two of them lowered their eyes and glanced around.
Wu Mei continued to pretend to rummage through the old lady's cabbages a few more times, "Okay, I only want these cabbages, here's the money..."
"good!"
With that, Wu Mei handed the old lady a one-yuan bill and then turned and left.
The old lady didn't react at all, and carefully put the banknote into her bag.
Lu Yi and Ye Ran exchanged a glance, both convinced that the old woman was the suspect.
No one would spend a dollar just to buy a few bok choy. Even the richest person wouldn't be such a sucker. And their conversation just now...
There must be something inside that one-yuan bill!
The two people were still looking over there, because Wu Mei had already left, but the old lady was still standing there without moving.
A short while later, they spotted another person walking by.
The man walked up to the old woman, looked at the remaining bok choy, and asked, "Grandma, how much are the bok choy?"
"That's all I have, give me whatever you think is appropriate!" the old lady said tremblingly.
"Alright, I'll take all these cabbages. Wrap them up for me!"
As he spoke, he handed over a ten-yuan note, and the old lady rummaged through her pockets and gave him change.
