Huo Qizhen took the portrait and went to Aunt Wang's food stall.
Unexpectedly, Li Bin, who seemed careless, was actually observant and remembered the person's appearance.
Li Bin has already been taken back to the city's police station by Lao Zheng.
"Mr. Huo?"
When Aunt Wang saw him, she called out to him, thinking she had mistaken him for someone else.
She hurriedly instructed the worker to pick some pomelo leaves and boil them into a decoction.
Huo Qizhen came over after taking a bath back in the county. He glanced at the shop and raised an eyebrow.
He called Lin Ziyan before he came, and they would be here soon.
"Boss Wang, I'm here for dinner, you won't think it's bad luck, will you?" Huo Qizhen said jokingly.
He noticed that the other side of the shop was covered by a red and blue tarpaulin, and his eyes darkened.
"Boss Huo, please don't belittle me. What do you mean by bad luck? I've had some pomelo leaves prepared, I'll brush them all off in a bit." Aunt Wang hurriedly poured him tea.
There weren't many people eating at that time, and with some free time, her gossipy nature began to stir.
Huo Qizhen chuckled, seeing right through her thoughts.
"What exactly happened?"
"You're such a cautious person, how could someone still take advantage of you?" Aunt Wang asked, frowning.
"It's alright," Huo Qizhen said casually.
Aunt Wang's gossipy thoughts were burning inside her, but she had to forcefully suppress them.
She didn't ask any more questions, and took the list he had checked into the kitchen.
Huo Qizhen sipped his tea contentedly, but his heart was far from as calm as he appeared.
The Chen family?
He never expected that the person he found would be a member of the Chen family in Beijing.
As soon as he found out, he immediately had someone erase all traces.
Many people in Fuzhou are members of the Chen family from Beijing. He can't continue investigating this matter, otherwise he won't just be spending a few days in the detention center.
Huo Qizhen drank a cup of tea before he could suppress the frustration in his heart.
Just as Aunt Wang finished serving the dishes, Lin Ziyan and Lu Yunshen arrived.
Huo Qizhen initially intended to get up, but then simply didn't move.
"Was the person sent to the city?" Lu Yunshen pulled Lin Ziyan down to sit and asked coolly.
A glint of light flashed in Huo Qizhen's eyes as he subtly observed Lu Yunshen's expression.
He handed the portrait to Lu Yunshen.
The Chen family is asking him to investigate further; isn't that setting a trap for him?
After Lin Ziyan sat down, she poured two cups of tea and offered them to Huo Qizhen.
"Boss Huo, I'm sorry to have dragged you into this. The other party is after the seafood market."
Huo Qizhen shook his head and smiled, "He rescued me, so we're even."
"Paying money to avoid trouble, this matter is over."
Lu Yun Shen looked up at him, a hint of admiration appearing in his eyes.
No wonder he's a businessman who travels all over the country; anyone else would have held a grudge long ago.
"They're just rushing to the seafood market..." Huo Qizhen said meaningfully.
These people are quick to cut off the trail; they can cut off the trail as soon as they find a little bit of information.
After Lu Yun Shen finished looking at the portrait, he folded it and put it away, a dark, cold light flashing in his eyes.
Lin Ziyan sensed a hidden meaning in Huo Qizhen's words, but she didn't care.
"When does the market open?" Huo Qizhen asked casually, changing the subject.
His shop in the city is open as usual, but business is less than before, and he's barely making ends meet.
The stores in Guangzhou are unaffected.
With the market open as usual, the shops here can easily return to normal.
Lin Ziyan didn't hide anything, "Tomorrow."
The three then ate and drank, chatting casually.
After the meal, Huo Qizhen's face was flushed, but the gloom in his eyes had completely disappeared.
This meal was to celebrate his release.
…
At 3 a.m., two oversized trucks drove into the seafood market's parking lot.
Wei Ting brought a few people to help.
After finishing their meal, Lin Ziyan and Lu Yunshen waited at the seafood market.
"Have you made all the necessary calls?" she asked Ah Jian, who was standing next to her.
"Yes, I've cooked them all." Ah Jian looked at the seafood with eager eyes.
By this time, Boss Huo had sobered up considerably and kept watching as boxes of seafood were unloaded.
He wished he could run over there right now and snatch the goods.
With goods come money; sending these seafood products to the city will surely attract many customers.
"From now on, the goods here will mainly consist of deep-sea seafood." Lin Ziyan noticed that Boss Huo was hesitant to speak.
Aunt Wang yawned, but was reluctant to go to sleep.
If we can snag a batch of seafood tonight, we won't have to worry about supplies for the next few days.
Moreover, deep-sea seafood is naturally plump and sweet, and it's easy to prepare, which customers prefer.
She wasn't the only one with the same idea.
The parking lot of the seafood market was gradually filled with cars.
Those long-time customers rushed over as soon as they received the call.
They usually pick up their goods around 5 a.m., but now they're doing it two hours earlier.
Whoever manages to snag the goods is practically guaranteed to win money.
The vendors couldn't wait any longer as soon as the two large trucks unloaded their goods.
Each vendor was vying for the seafood category they were selling.
Some were scrambling for king crab, some for seafood, and some for squid...
They set up their goods on the stalls, and the whole market was brightly lit.
The parking lot at the seafood market was full of cars.
After securing the seafood he wanted, Boss Huo immediately had his driver take it back to the city.
After putting the seafood away in the warehouse, Aunt Wang went home to catch up on her sleep.
By daybreak, the seafood market was already packed with people.
The stall owners who had originally planned to leave their stalls were stunned when they arrived at the market entrance.
"Master Li, are you making your second trip too?"
"Boss Wang, we have to make a second trip. After seeing the goods, the boss called the stall owner and ordered a lot more seafood."
"Rumors were rampant before, but the market reopening directly debunked those rumors that were predicting a market crash."
