The person outside knocked twice more. Sun Chen asked cautiously, "Who is it?"
After a second of silence outside, a voice was heard, "Boss Sun, it's me." It was a slightly rough middle-aged female voice.
"I'm Aunt Wang."
Sun Chen's expression relaxed instantly. It was obvious that this woman was someone he was familiar with.
"Why are they all here at the same time?" he muttered, and was about to go forward to open the door.
"Wait a minute." Su Qingyun suddenly called him.
Sun Chen turned around with a puzzled look.
"Let's get out of the way first." Su Qingyun's heart was pounding, and she always had a bad feeling. Her sixth sense was always quite accurate, so she would rather believe it than not.
This kind of gathering is extremely risky, so it’s better for them to hide.
Sun Chen paused and pointed to the back room.
"Boss Sun, what are you doing? Why haven't you come to open the door yet?" the woman outside urged.
Su Qingyun made a prompt decision: "Ji Yue, Uncle Wang, let's go."
The three of them quickly slipped into the inner room. Sun Chen looked at the closed door, pushed the cabinet next to it over, rubbed his face, and then opened the door with a normal expression.
Just as he opened the door a crack, it was slammed open by someone. Sun Chen was startled when he saw that there were two men with red armbands standing next to his old customer.
Not good! Sun Chen cried out inwardly, and subconsciously blocked the doorway. Although he looked rather frail, he was tall and the doorway was narrow, so they couldn't see clearly what was going on inside the house.
The serious-looking man looked at him sharply, "Sun Chen, right? We're from the Industry and Commerce Bureau. Someone's reported you for speculation. Get out of the way immediately. We're going in to investigate."
Sun Chen's hands trembled. The middle-aged woman had a bitter face and was too ashamed to meet his eyes. She didn't mean it. Wasn't there anything she could do?
It is true that she and Sun Chen are acquaintances. This time she came to Sun Chen to buy something, but somehow she was blocked by these two people from the Industrial and Commercial Bureau. They asked her to lead the way to Sun Chen’s base. How could she dare not come?
"Boss Sun, don't blame me. I have no choice."
Who the hell reported him? Sun Chen's heart twisted for a moment, but he quickly forced a smile and pretended to be confused, "Are you two mistaken? How could I dare to do such a thing?"
Would it be over if he just moved out of the way? There were so many things in the room behind him that he could see them at a glance. It was all his fault that he trusted Aunt Wang too much and didn't think much about it, so he was taken advantage of.
"Stop talking nonsense and get out of the way!" the man said impatiently. "If you don't get out of the way, it means you're guilty. I can take you away directly!"
“Oh, no…”
"What are you wasting time on!" Another man pushed Sun Chen impatiently. He was tall and strong, and the push made Sun Chen stagger back a few steps.
The two men squeezed in immediately. When they saw the things in the house, they were shocked and their eyes lit up.
"Well, Sun Chen, you actually got so many things to resell, you're really brave!"
The room was filled with everything from needles and thread to fabrics and ready-made clothes. Sun Chen's face was pale. He opened his mouth, wanting to explain, but he had no words to say.
The current situation is that the criminal is caught red-handed, and any explanation is pale.
"You'd better think about how to explain the origin of so many things, otherwise, if you follow us today, you won't be able to come back." The man's eyes were as sharp as a knife.
"Take a good inventory of the things here and record them."
Sun Chen became more and more panicked. He had been doing this business in Qingbei Street for one or two years and had never encountered any problems. Even if there was any disturbance, he would know about it in advance. But this time he was caught off guard. He was thinking frantically in his mind, who reported him?
But even now, Sun Chen did not lose his composure and dared to commit a crime against the wind. He did not lack support behind him. He did not believe that he would go to jail this time. He would only lose these goods. Although he felt sad, he had no choice now.
"I don't know anything. Who can prove that these things are mine? I just saw that the door was not locked, so I came in to take a look. I just got here, a little earlier than you." Sun Chen simply refused to admit it. Anyway, they didn't catch the transaction scene, so there was still room for maneuver.
The man widened his eyes in disbelief. He obviously didn't expect Sun Chen to be so arrogant. He was still being stubborn even at this time.
"Okay, you're still trying to be stubborn, right? I'm telling you, you're not trying to be stubborn. This is human evidence." The man pointed at the middle-aged woman who had shrunk to the side, then pointed at the things, "These are physical evidence."
"With all the evidence, who would believe you if you said these weren't yours?"
"I don't believe it." Sun Chen calmed down a bit, even managed to smile. "This house isn't mine, and I have nothing to do with it. You can check where these things came from, but it has nothing to do with me. Why can't I just come in and take a look because the door wasn't closed? Am I not allowed to be curious?"
Anyway, these investigations will not lead to him, so he is not afraid.
"I was shocked too. If you hadn't come, I would have reported it to the police. There were so many things, it was too scary."
"You're quite sharp-tongued." The man's chest heaved with anger. "Then how do you explain why you opened the door when Aunt Wang knocked just now? Why did you open the door when it wasn't your place? And why are you so wary?"
"I just know her, but we're not very familiar with each other. Besides, I recognized her voice, but I didn't know why she came. I thought she wanted to come and see me, so I had to open the door, otherwise I can't explain myself." Sun Chen is just a scoundrel now. No matter what you say, he will not admit it. He is a liar.
