"Don't worry, with your brother-in-law here, he'll definitely keep a close eye on your man and he won't lose a single hair."
The man with the loudspeaker smiled at the people, then looked up at the people standing over there. If this were an ordinary man who cared about his reputation, he would probably be embarrassed.
This guy is alright; you rarely hear him speak, but his eyes are always following Su Ti, and he doesn't object to anything she says.
He didn't seem to be faking it. Considering his status, if he really didn't want to, no one could force him.
He even thought the man looked so smug being protected by his wife, it was like a perfect match.
"How are you going to transport this stuff? With that little cart? How long will that take? Maybe I should try to find a vehicle to help you transport it to Beijing?"
The loudspeaker saw the small cart being towed by their bicycles. How many trips would it take to haul all that cargo? And how to get back to Beijing was also a problem.
"No need, we also drove here this time. Their transportation department just happened to be here to pick up goods from the steel plant."
“The person who came with us yesterday went back to drive. He should be here soon. I asked him to come later because I was worried we might not have finished talking.”
"I'm also worried that the big truck will be too conspicuous and the noise will easily attract attention, so it's better to wait a bit longer."
"The small cart was just a way to get things onto the main road since it was difficult for large vehicles to get in," Suti casually offered an excuse.
"You're so thoughtful." Brother Lou thought that this girl was a meticulous person who had considered every detail very thoroughly.
"We'll wait here for a while. Why don't you guys go back first, Brother Trumpet?" Suti said calmly.
"Okay, are you sure your people will be here soon?" The guy with the loudspeaker thought that his brothers had been keeping watch for a long time, and if there were more people, it would be easier for them to be spotted coming and going.
"Don't worry, I've already arranged a time with him," Suti said calmly. She felt that one lie really does require countless more to cover it up.
Brother Lou knew this girl was shrewd and calculating; she must have known what she was doing before letting them go.
They might be planning to ship these goods in Shanghai, so it's better for him not to know some things.
I have to go blind when it's time to go blind, so as not to make things difficult for my sister.
With that thought in mind, he decisively led his brothers away.
"We'll talk about it later." Su Ti didn't wait for anyone to leave before taking the goods. She asked Li Baichuan to go and look around first.
Only after confirming that there was truly no ghost in the vicinity did they manage to store the boxes into their spatial storage.
“We won’t take the main road in front, we’ll take the back path.” Suti had noticed this when he arrived; those people must have been brought in by car via the main road in front.
They decided not to damage the tire tracks, regardless of whether anyone was watching; it was safer to take the other route.
Everyone has their own methods; the more unpredictable something is, the more intimidating it becomes.
Actually, Suti was overthinking it. Those people knew the rules of the underworld better than she imagined. They were involved in double-crossing and swindling.
But they overcomplicated things and didn't dare to do it at all.
Moreover, with Brother Lou's men guarding the area, it would be difficult for them to do anything underhanded, let alone observe from the sidelines.
As for Brother Lou, he wouldn't bother investigating their background at all; he could just leave cleanly without a trace.
When Su Ti and Li Baichuan got home, they realized how exciting the night had been.
Everyone in the family was asleep, so she didn't go to bring the child over and went straight into the house.
"I wonder how things are going in the border town." Li Baichuan's situation is going smoothly, but now that he has some free time, he thinks about the border town and worries that he might encounter some danger on the way.
"I had my dad send someone to follow him." Suti isn't stupid; sending a stranger to the countryside would probably get him discovered before he even gets to the brigade.
Country folk are xenophobic; the slightest disturbance will make the whole brigade aware of it. She experienced this firsthand in Yangliu Brigade.
"Wife, when did you have someone following you?" Li Baichuan felt that his wife was truly omnipotent.
“You said you were worried, so I mentioned it to my dad. He also sent someone to meet him, so he won’t get lost.”
"Don't worry, he'll be fine. The Su family won't cause any more trouble. He'll probably be sent back safely tomorrow."
Suti thought that the honest man in the border town would probably stay up all night.
"Honey, I just feel that since we raised this person, we must take good care of her when we bring her back. Don't be jealous."
Li Baichuan felt that his wife's tone was off, just like when his mother-in-law had spoken to her earlier that day.
Suti: "..."
She didn't want to talk. If she said she wasn't jealous, wouldn't Baichuan be sad? If she said she was jealous, she had lied too much today and couldn't bring herself to say it.
Keep silent; silence is golden.
"Honey, next time we come, we can't use the transportation department's vehicle. The Kang family has vehicles; I'll discuss it with them later."
"I don't plan to share this path with the Kang family. After all, they didn't contribute anything, so we can't say anything about it."
“And my wife, I think this way of collecting goods is indeed a good way out. I can collect them myself in the future.”
Seeing his wife fall silent, Li Baichuan quickly changed the subject, saying it was all his fault for making his wife jealous.
His wife loves him so much, she must be feeling incredibly heartbroken.
Suti could tell he was changing the subject, but she also had a lot to say to Baichuan about it.
“Your idea is good, but now is not the right time to make any big moves. It would be fine in other places, but we are in Beijing.”
“That honeycomb center is the one that’s under the strictest control. We need to stabilize things now, and there’s so much for you to learn, we don’t have enough energy.”
"And then there's Deng Peng today. If it weren't for Brother Lou, even if we had found him successfully, we would have definitely suffered a loss."
"Brother Lou's success is also due to his gradual rise through the ranks after suffering losses and being cheated. We are not in a hurry; the most important thing now is experience."
"I'm having you follow the Kang family for two reasons: firstly, for their safety, and secondly, so they can learn something. They just had an accident, and now they're counting on the Li family behind you to keep things stable."
"As long as you want to learn, they will definitely teach you wholeheartedly. Now that things have gone smoothly in Shanghai, once you get to know both sides, you'll have enough goods for the time being."
"It's good that you want to develop, but we need to take it slowly and not rush it. None of these people who have made a name for themselves in the black market are simple."
Su Ti was afraid that things had gone too smoothly these past few times, which would make him less vigilant. The Li family was in Beijing, and the Guo family was in Shanghai.
Starting from these two places will definitely make things much smoother, but it's obvious that other places won't be that simple.
"Honey, I know I won't act impulsively. Just like this time, if you weren't here, we would definitely have suffered a loss."
Li Baichuan knew his own limitations; he was well aware of his own capabilities.
