"Don't worry, I'll go with your sister-in-law. You can go and keep an eye on those people. You don't need to keep an eye on them all the time. Just come back at dawn."
"Just observe their current state; my father-in-law's family will handle the rest."
Li Baichuan, still worried, added, "I'm afraid this honest guy might not come back."
I was worried he wouldn't be able to find the place, so I thought I'd have his wife draw a map later, so he wouldn't lose it.
Biancheng felt secretly pleased as he watched his brother Chuan chatter on and on; he still remembered how his brother Chuan used to be.
He's not the kind of person who cares about others; who would believe that if I told them? It's all because Brother Chuan treats him like a good brother.
His status is different now; he is the person his brother Chuan cares about most, except for his sister-in-law.
When the two returned, one looked happy and the other looked worried, and Suti frowned.
What happened? Did Baichuan fail to fool him?
Seeing Bai Chuan nod at her, Su Ti frowned even more deeply. What was going on?
"Wife, could you draw a route map for Biancheng later? I'm afraid he'll get lost." Li Baichuan looked at Biancheng, who was still all smiles, and felt quite melancholy.
"What's going on?" Suti asked, seeing his worried expression, which made it seem like he had gone too far in bluffing.
"It's alright, I'll have him keep an eye on the Su family's place tonight, just in case he can't find the place." Li Baichuan knew his wife could understand.
Su Ti smiled. This was a good idea. They definitely needed someone to keep an eye on the Su family.
After dark, the group split into two groups and set off.
One of them left happily with the route map, while Suti and Li Baichuan handed the child over to his mother and grandmother and set off as well.
"Wife, why are we carrying a stroller?" Li Baichuan asked as he rode his bike with his wife, noticing that she was dragging a stroller behind them.
"It's just for show. No matter what kind of goods we're transporting, we need to have some kind of tool to do it. If there's nothing unusual, people will become suspicious."
Suti was just being a little too meticulous. Even if there weren't many people there, no one would come to investigate how they transported the goods after they left.
With Brother Loudspeaker around, those people wouldn't dare to double-cross her even if they wanted to, but she prefers to be cautious in her actions.
"Honey, I have a feeling that Brother Laba will be preparing as well." Li Baichuan thought of him, and could tell that his brother-in-law had a very good relationship with him.
This time, he was able to directly introduce the supplier from the top and discuss where to deliver the goods, so they wouldn't have to worry about how to transport them.
“I think so too.” Suti smiled when he thought of this. The two chatted like this, and they didn’t look like they were going to speculate or make money. They looked like they were going to have fun.
But once they entered the main avenue lined with Western-style buildings, the two became much more cautious, and soon they discovered that someone was watching them on the road.
Upon seeing them, it was Brother Lou's men who ran out first.
The fact that they're able to deliver goods in this location means they've definitely scouted it out. Who knows how many people are lurking around here, both openly and secretly?
"Brother Lou and the others are inside. Follow me." Brother Lou's henchmen treated them with great respect.
Suti deliberately arrived a little late to give them time, and when he arrived, he saw them all playing cards, looking very relaxed.
They don't look like they're here to make a deal; they look more like a group of friends who've come to hang out.
"You're here? We'll stop playing now and show your friends the goods." The man got up to get down to business when he saw them arrive.
Suti and Li Baichuan also saw those goods, which were placed there casually, seemingly indifferent, but there were definitely many people watching.
Several large boxes were tightly sealed, and it was unknown what was inside.
"Looks like we're late?" Suti casually remarked, even though they were at the right time.
The problem is that if they arrive too early, the goods will be in progress. Should they go up and help or go back instead?
"Not too late, not too late, just right." The man looked at Su Ti. They were all in the same boat, and they all knew their own pace.
"That's good, let's check the goods first." Suti responded with an expression that said, "I'm just being polite, but I'm actually an experienced person."
Neither Trumpet Bro nor Li Baichuan spoke, quietly watching their performance.
Especially Brother Lou, he couldn't help but laugh when he thought about how those people had tried to get information out of him.
He simply told them, "What difference does it make who you deliver the goods to? He's not going to cheat them. Besides, the goods from Shanghai are always to the same people, and the prices aren't easy to negotiate."
Now that a big client has finally come along, opening this door will only benefit them.
Since both sides are clearly in a beneficial position, there's no need to pretend to be in a difficult position. Everyone knows who's in a good position.
Because they were so familiar with each other, and with Brother Lou in charge, none of those people dared to pretend to be competent.
“The goods we receive each time are different. This time there are more medicinal herbs and a lot of wild game. They are all pickled and won’t spoil.”
"This box contains some leather and such. I didn't bring the common fabrics that are available on the market; these are some rare finds."
"And these cigarettes and alcohol are all special supplies, sold through special channels, and they're easy to sell even without coupons."
"Actually, there are some large items, but considering that this is our first time working together, you may not be well prepared, and it would be difficult for you to transport those goods."
"These are rare items that don't take up much space and are easy to sell. If you want to cooperate next time, you can tell me what you want and we can reserve it for you in advance."
The man introduced the goods box by box, and Suti could tell that these goods were from all over the country.
I have gained a better understanding of these people's abilities, and I estimate that they have a massive army behind them.
"Mm." Suti nodded.
The man kept staring at Suti and the others. The man wasn't the focus; he'd never seen him show any expression. This woman was the real leader.
In their line of work, gender doesn't matter; only ability matters. When he was collecting goods, he often found that women were far more capable than men.
The goods he brought this time were all presentable, and he thought she would be surprised, or even a little delighted.
She dismissed him with just a simple "hmm," which suggests that the goods were exactly what she expected, and perhaps she wasn't even satisfied.
This time, he believed what Brother Lou said: it doesn't matter who you cooperate with, this guy definitely has the ability.
He felt relieved; someone who could remain so calm and composed must have a very large business.
This guy is probably just doing someone else's favor. What kind of boss would personally handle these things? If his underlings are this capable, he wouldn't even dare to dream of the powerful figures behind them.
Through his imagination, Suti has risen to a new level in the eyes of these people.
