"Was the black market raided last night your doing?" Li Xiyue, who was adding firewood to the stove, paused upon hearing this and looked up in surprise at the handsome man cooking in front of the stove.
Chu Xun said while wielding a spatula, "Firstly, it's to coordinate with Lu Feng's operation, and secondly, it's also to give Wu Laohu a warning."
Not only the commune's black market, but also half of the black markets in the county and provincial capitals were shut down. He wanted to let Wu Laohu know that Chu Xun's target was not someone he could mess with.
Li Xiyue was utterly speechless. It turned out that she, Wang Jiaxing, and Zhou Yunze almost got arrested because of Chu Xun.
"What's wrong?" Chu Xun asked curiously when he saw her pretty, rosy face scrunched up.
Li Xiyue gave a forced smile and said, "It's nothing."
Chu Xun was completely bewildered. What was going on?
Li Xiyue was both angry and amused to see that the culprit who had harmed her still looked innocent.
But you can't really blame him, since he didn't know she was doing business on the black market.
Besides, he only used the black market to help her.
Oh well, they're fine anyway, it just means they can't make money on the black market for the time being.
Speaking of making money, Li Xiyue recalled the feather dusters she had previously listed for sale in the system's shop. They sold out in less than ten minutes, and many people were urging her to restock.
The customers who bought it left a precious five-star review, saying that the quality, workmanship and appearance of her feather duster were excellent, and they had never bought such a good feather duster before.
As her cash reserves increased, the online store was upgraded, allowing for the buying and selling of real customers from different eras.
Previously, transactions in the virtual mall were all with the system, but now you can trade directly with real people. Moreover, customers come from all eras and for different products, the system will push customers from different eras to maximize transactions.
So even if the black market disappears in the future, she won't have to worry about where to sell her things.
The price is slightly lower, she guessed, probably because the system takes a cut.
It's okay if it's low; at least we don't have to live in fear anymore.
Of course, she was never afraid.
Last night, as soon as she heard the noise outside, she took advantage of the chaos to slip into a dark corner and escape through her spatial dimension. If it weren't for saving Old Wang and Old Zhou next door, she wouldn't have broken out in such a sweat.
With a loud crash, the fine porcelain shattered on the ground.
Chen Xiong, shivering from the spilled tea, said, "Tiger, it's my fault for being incompetent. I failed to do what you asked me to do and even caused half of Hunan Province to be raided. I deserve to die."
"I told you to investigate that girl, and I told you not to alert her, but you did it wrong. Not only were you discovered, but you also got arrested, and now half of Hunan Province's establishments have been shut down," Wu Laohu couldn't help but kick him several times.
The cripple was furious and slapped him several times, yelling, "You useless piece of trash, good for nothing but causing trouble! What use are you?"
Chen Xiong lay on the ground, trembling like a leaf.
He hadn't expected things to turn out this way. Not only had he failed to get any information from that girl, but he had also made no progress with Li Shadan. That was one thing, but now, half of the black market in Hunan Province was gone. How much manpower and resources would that mean?
"Godfather, Blackie, take care of yourselves," Lu Feng advised from the side.
After venting his anger, Wu Laohu felt a little better. He sat down in a chair with a complicated expression. "That kid from the Chu family really protects that girl. He's willing to go to such lengths for her sake."
"Yes, I didn't expect him to value that girl so much." The cripple was also a little scared, thankful that they hadn't hurt the girl in the slightest, otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
