Chapter 114 I didn’t expect she was such a beautiful woman
In order to prevent the middleman from suspecting their true purpose, Lu Xingtang deliberately found the middleman in the place where he usually hung out, rented a house from him, and said that he wanted to settle down in Hong Kong City.
The middleman happily took them to see houses immediately. They looked at street-level houses, residential apartment buildings, and villa areas. Finally, they chose a one-bedroom apartment in a residential apartment building.
They originally planned to stay in Hong Kong temporarily, so it was impossible for them to spend a lot of money to live in a villa.
As they were about to pay the rent, Lu Xingtang subtly asked the middleman, "You're a frequent trader and know Hong Kong's situation well. I'd like to ask you about the current medical situation in Hong Kong. Our supplier has a batch of medicines they're planning to sell! If we don't sell them now, they'll expire."
Medicine? The middleman exclaimed, "Miss, tell me quickly, does your dealer have tetanus vaccine and insulin? Also, do you have colchicine, febuxostat tablets, or yintaiqing for lowering uric acid? And do you have salmeterol/fluticasone inhaler powder for asthma?"
Lu Xingtang looked the second-hand dealer up and down: "You don't look like you need these medicines!"
Gong Wei, the middleman, was annoyed by Lu Xingtang's behavior. "Of course it's not me who needs it. Someone else needs it! Miss, go ask your supplier if they have it. If they do, we'll take it, no matter how much!"
"I can ask, but you have to tell me, who am I looking for medicine for? I can't bring danger to my boss! We still have to stay alive!" Lu Xingtang frowned and said unhappily.
Gong Wei quickly said, "Miss, I'm too anxious. I don't know much. My boss told me that two major forces in Hong Kong need these medicines! One is the Killer Whale Gang, and the other is the Qingyi Hall.
These two factions dominate our city's maritime landscape. The Killer Whale Gang is the largest fishing organization, while the Tsing Yi Tang is the seafood powerhouse, having dominated the city for many years. However, these forces are incompatible, and recently engaged in a war.
The leader of the Killer Whale Gang is ninety years old this year, a very old man with a host of underlying illnesses! After the apocalypse, the insulin he needs has become hard to find, but without it, he won't live long. The Qingyi Hall is eyeing the Killer Whale Gang covetously. His descendants who could achieve great things all died in the apocalyptic disaster. Now, he's training a new successor, but until that successor takes over, the old man wants to survive and is searching for medicine.
Our boss often hangs out among the wealthy. Hearing this news, the Orca Gang's old man, knowing his abilities, asked him to help find medicine! He also gave me advice, but all the pharmaceutical representatives I knew had died in the seawater backflow, and I was running out of leads!
At this point, Gong Wei looked at Lu Xingtang as if she were looking at a life-saving straw: "If the young lady's boss has the medicine, no matter what the price, the killer whale gang will definitely get it!"
"I can't make the decision on this matter, and neither can you." Lu Xingtang frowned and thought for a moment. "Well, go get your boss. I want to know the details. After all, the Killer Whale Gang doesn't sound like a good bunch. For our own safety, we must be cautious! If my boss is sure the Killer Whale Gang is safe, he might give me the drugs!"
Gong Wei also felt that it was better to be cautious, as everyone was afraid of being robbed by other criminals.
After seeing Gong Wei off, Lu Xingtang and Ji Yanmo didn't wait too long at home. They took out the delicious food from the space and feasted on it, and just as they were cleaning up the house, they heard someone knocking on the door.
Ji Yanmo glanced through the peephole and said, "Gong Wei brought a skinny man here."
It is estimated that the man is Gong Wei’s boss and the head of the middlemen.
When Lu Xingtang was sure that there was nothing extra in the house that would arouse suspicion, he asked Ji Yanmo to open the door.
As soon as Ji Yanmo opened the door, Gong Wei immediately said, "Boss, this big brother is the young lady's husband!"
"Hello, big brother. My name is Deng Shangwei. I'm Gong Wei's boss and also a middleman. I heard from Gong Wei that you have medicine, so I came to take a look, hoping to facilitate this deal."
Deng Shangwei looks like a monkey, but his eyes are very sharp. The moment he saw Lu Xingtang and Ji Yanmo, he had an idea in his mind. These two people have outstanding looks, as if they have not been tortured by the end of the world. It is obvious at a glance that the boss behind them is not ordinary.
Ji Yanmo stepped aside: "Come in and talk!"
Deng Shangwei quickly invited Gong Wei in with a gift. "Excuse me, this is our first meeting, so I'm sending you some gifts. Please don't despise the small size of these gifts. After all, it's the end of the world now!"
Gong Wei immediately placed the gift on the coffee table in the living room, and then introduced Lu Xingtang to Deng Shangwei. Deng Shangwei smiled and said, "This girl is really outstanding. At first I thought Gong Wei was lying to me, but I didn't expect she is such a beauty!"
Lu Xingtang also complimented Deng Shangwei a few times. It was not very meaningful, but it brought the relationship between the two parties a little closer and made it less awkward.
After talking about the mountains for a while, Deng Shangwei understood that Ji Yanmo and Lu Xingtang were waiting for him to speak. If he didn't speak, they would not take the initiative to mention the medicine.
Forget it, forget it, I won’t pretend anymore. Anyway, when the time comes, he can ask the Killer Whale Gang or the Green Robe Lions for some supplies as a reward for his hard work.
"Sister, brother, you all know why I'm here. I won't hide anything from you anymore. Let's talk openly."
Lu Xingtang hummed, "Brother Deng, please speak."
Deng Shangwei said: "Gong Wei really didn't lie to you."
The Killer Whale Gang and the Qingyi Hall are indeed incompatible. In order to compete for the position of overlord on the sea, they opened fire 10 days ago!
Neither the Killer Whale Gang nor the Qingyi Hall is a soft persimmon, and the two sides have been in a stalemate. The Qingyi Hall has no martial ethics and kidnapped the successor that the old man of the Killer Whale Gang had worked hard to find and train, and forced the old man to hand over the Killer Whale Gang.
The old man has been around for so many years, even if the end of the world breaks out, he is not completely helpless. He can just bring his younger brothers and snatch the heir back.
The heir was weak and incompetent, and while escaping, his foot was accidentally pierced by a rusty wire.
Tetanus is no joke. If you have medicine, it is best to get a tetanus shot within 24 hours.
But after the apocalypse, a natural disaster destroyed the hospital, and life-saving medicine became more expensive than elixirs. Even the Orca Gang couldn't find a single tetanus vaccine.
"The heir of the Killer Whale Gang has now been infected with tetanus and is experiencing muscle twitching, respiratory arrest, heart failure, and lung complications. The old man is extremely worried and has been searching everywhere for doctors and medicine, hoping to save the heir!" After a pause, Deng Shangwei continued, "The insulin is for the old man of the Killer Whale Gang; he needs it to stay alive! But the uric acid-lowering and asthma medication are for the people of the Qingyi Hall."
