An Moxue left the Popov family manor but did not go home. Instead, she went to the underground market, where there was hardly anyone during the day.
Boris came out to greet him. "Chief, what brings you here at this hour?"
As the two walked inside, they said, "I'll be making some acquisitions in the next few days. You should arrange for people to take over so that it's easy to do so. Just tell everyone that you bought them from me."
"Yes, Chief. The fifth store has opened this month, and so far it's going well."
"Yes, remember, don't rush things. Reputation and word-of-mouth are the most important things. Our immediate goal is to have a store in every city in Osiri, and eventually we'll have a huge network. When that happens, it will be time for us to really show our skills."
What An Moxue didn't say was that this was only the first step. Next, she would extend her influence to other countries, especially those countries that were involved with the An family and the Nalan family. She had to make some preparations in advance, open up information channels, and accumulate strength.
Boris listened with great enthusiasm. He had never dared to think about these things before he met the leader. He was just living a life of debauchery in Puda. Now he had ideals and motivation for life.
Suppressing his excitement, Boris said, "Yes, Chief, rest assured, I will make all the arrangements."
"Also, we need to keep up with our studies. Tell everyone not to be fixated on short-term gains. If we fall behind, someone else might take our place, and a junior might even be in a higher position than the senior. How would we face that? Besides, the bond between us old folks is something that newcomers can't match. We've built our relationship through hard work. I think each of them has the ability to lead their own territory. Let them do their jobs well."
"I will definitely relay the leader's words to everyone."
"Any progress on the matter I asked you to investigate recently?"
"No, that's strange, there's not a single clue."
The two walked into the office, and An Moxue said, "Bring me the ledgers so I can take a look. Continue investigating what I asked you to investigate; if you can't find it, that's the biggest problem. Every trace leaves a mark; if the traces are gone, it means they've been deliberately erased."
"yes."
"Alright, you go ahead and get busy. I'll take a look at the accounts."
"Yes, Chief, just press the bell if you need anything."
An Moxue sat down at her desk and began to examine the ledgers. She looked at the clear and concise ledgers with a smile on her face.
See, everyone has potential. If you push them a little, they'll produce clear accounts. She still has high hopes for Boris.
An Moxue spent half a day busy at the underground venue. After leaving the venue, she asked a few beggars near her home about Kong Daoxue, and unexpectedly, she actually got a clue.
She thought that next time she went, she must talk to Boris and also bring the beggars into the organization, as news about these people could not be ignored.
When she got home, she didn't see Wu Sicheng anywhere. She was a little curious. He had been staying here for several days and had been behaving himself. Where had he gone?
At this moment, Wu Sicheng is at Uncle De's house.
"Young Master, you look much better. Miss Jiduo is truly extraordinary! Such a change in just a few days, she's really capable."
Wu Sicheng's brows relaxed, and he spoke even more kindly to Uncle De, "Yes, Uncle De, continue to keep an eye on the Popov family and their affairs, and let me know if there are any unusual developments. Especially anything that is detrimental to Gido, you must let me know immediately."
"Yes, young master, don't worry, I will. There's been some progress on the matter of the researchers and projects that An Muyang was escorting. However, the news coming back from over there is that the matter is very difficult to investigate, and it seems to involve some highly classified information, so it will take a long time."
"It's alright, as long as we have some leads, that's fine. It's classified as a top secret in Lan Kingdom, and I haven't found anything yet, which is why I thought of starting from the country of origin. Any news is the best thing, and I'm not afraid of it taking a while."
"When you leave, young master, will you carry your things yourself, or should I deliver them to you?"
"I'll take it myself!"
When Wu Sicheng came out, he was carrying a briefcase. He took a bus, went to a bar, and came out carrying a bottle of Bordeaux red wine and the information he had obtained there.
Then he went to the mall and bought some beef, steak, and fresh fruits and vegetables, carrying a full bag of things back to An Moxue's house.
When he got home, he saw that the front door was unlocked, and he knew that An Moxue had returned.
He opened the front door and went inside, put his things down, and didn't see anyone in the living room. He went to the study and saw her busy with something, so he didn't disturb her. He quietly left and went into the kitchen to get busy.
It wasn't until the alarm rang that An Moxue realized that a long time had passed and it was time to make dinner.
When she came out of the study and into the kitchen, she smelled the aroma of food.
"Wu Sicheng, when did you get back?"
"I didn't want to bother you since you were busy."
An Moxue sniffed the air and said, "What did you make? It smells so good."
"I made some braised beef and braised beef ribs. We'll eat them tonight, and the rest will be in the fridge; it'll last you a few days. There's also Jinghu beef soup; add a couple of vegetables, and we can eat right away. Oh, and there's a box on the sofa with some things in it; take a look."
"What?"
"You'll know when you see it."
"Fine! I'll see for myself instead of telling you, and you're playing mysterious."
Wu Sicheng glanced at her, then lowered his head and smiled faintly.
An Moxue was already sitting on the sofa watching TV, carrying her suitcase.
As soon as he opened it, he saw a set of guns, from pistols to sniper rifles, a total of nine, all of the latest models, and each equipped with five hundred rounds of ammunition.
An Moxue picked up the smallest and lightest one, weighed it in her hand, and then disassembled the gun, reassembled it, and adjusted it. After that, she loaded a magazine into the pistol and aimed it at Wu Sicheng.
Just then, he looked up at her and asked, "How is it? Do you like it?"
"I like it. It wasn't cheap, was it? How many gold bars did it cost? I'll give you the money."
"You underestimated me. Consider this payment for your treatment and the health-preserving pills. Miss An, please accept this."
After he said that, An Moxue naturally accepted the box of guns and ammunition. Didn't she also make some health-preserving pills for him?
Those were all medicinal herbs she grew in her space, which are priceless.
An Moxue examined each gun with obvious delight.
Wu Sicheng smiled slightly at her and asked, "You like it very much?"
"Of course, they are all the latest German and Italian products, top-notch stuff."
"I knew you'd have good taste."
An Moxue accepted the gift but didn't miss the chance to complain. In front of the person who gave the gift, she said, "You're really something else. Who gives a girl a gun as a gift?"
"What? So your feelings for me weren't real?"
No, that's not it.
"That settles it then, let's eat."
