"You're in charge? You can make the decisions?" Zhuang Le, his face covered, revealed two big, round eyes as he looked Lu Feng up and down.
His clothes were fashionable and made of expensive materials. The watch on his wrist was also pricey. He was refined and fair-skinned, with an extraordinary air about him. At first glance, he was very pleasing to the eye.
Huh?
There are men in the capital who are this good-looking?
Lu Feng, with one hand in his pocket, smiled faintly, "Of course."
"I need to calculate my losses," Zhuang Le said.
The surroundings were noisy and there were onlookers, which had a negative impact.
Lu Feng politely invited, "Miss, it's too noisy and crowded here, which might disturb your concentration. If you'd like, please come inside with me and sit down. You can take your time calculating."
Seeing that he was upright, refined, and amiable, Zhuang Le didn't think he had any bad intentions, so she agreed.
Upon entering a clean and tidy room, Lu Feng politely invited her to sit down and had tea and snacks served. "Take your time calculating, miss. Call me when you're done."
After saying that, he left.
The other person was a girl, and although this was the black market, it would damage her reputation to be alone with a man and a woman in a room.
Zhuang Le watched his departing figure and secretly praised him, "This man is not bad."
The thief was taken to another room, where a doctor was called to treat him.
Lu Feng and Ma Zi went over to check on the situation. The thief was rolling on the ground, and the doctor was helpless.
"The poison he was given is very strange; I've never seen it before. Mr. Lu, perhaps you should seek out someone more skilled."
"Master Lu, what should we do?" Pockmarked man asked worriedly, "If someone really dies here, we're in trouble."
Lu Feng remained calm. "Don't worry, he won't die."
Zhuang Le had finished her calculations, and Lu Feng entered the room. "Please speak, young lady."
"Although the thief didn't steal my money, he delayed my business, so he has to compensate me five yuan for the loss." Zhuang Le said, taking a sip of tea, and then added, "As for your black market, its management is lax, so you also have to compensate me five yuan for the loss."
Lu Feng chuckled upon hearing this. It must have been quite a struggle for her to think about ten yuan for so long.
He agreed very readily, "Okay."
Zhuang Le secretly regretted agreeing so quickly. Was it because her price was too low? Was it too late to raise the price now?
The other person had already handed her the money, and it was too late to regret it. She reached out and grabbed the money, but the other person wouldn't let go. She looked up and met a pair of shimmering eyes. "Hmm?"
"Does this girl really dare to take the money?" Lu Feng asked with a smile.
Zhuang Le countered, "Why wouldn't you dare take it?"
"We're the black market, we specialize in double-crossing each other. Aren't you afraid that if you take this money today, we'll take ten times it back from you in the future?"
Zhuang Le pulled hard, snatching the money from his hand. "Dare to mess with me? That's what happens to thieves."
Lu Feng withdrew his hand, looked into her bright eyes, and asked, "You didn't intend to kill him, did you, young lady?"
Zhuang Le was slightly taken aback. Since he had been seen through, he didn't try to hide it anymore. "Yes, those were just some medicines that cause stomach aches. They'll be fine after a while. They won't kill anyone. He stole my money, so of course I have to teach him a lesson."
Lu Feng had an "I knew it" look on his face.
"but……"
"But what?" Lu Feng asked.
Zhuang Le circled around him, saying, "He'll be fine, but you will be."
Lu Feng's eyes narrowed slightly. "What does this mean?"
"When I brought you in, I took advantage of your momentary lapse in attention and poisoned you. Without the antidote, you will die from the poison in less than three days," Zhuang Le said, laughing. "And your death will be incredibly gruesome."
Lu Feng stiffened, staring into her eyes, trying to guess whether she was telling the truth.
"No doubt about it, it's true. If you don't believe me, you can feel it yourself; do you feel a faint pain in your back?"
Lu Feng indeed sensed it and was secretly alarmed.
"The toxin has already penetrated your skin and seeped into your muscles." Zhuang Le said smugly, "Do you think I was unguarded and would just go with a stranger like you? You underestimate me."
She traveled around with the old man since she was a child, and the first thing she learned was how to protect herself.
No matter how kind and harmless the other party may seem, she will not easily believe them.
If her own parents could abandon her, how could she easily trust a stranger?
Lu Feng was both amused and exasperated. "I truly have no ill intentions towards you, young lady. I merely wish to minimize the damage. It is a good thing that you are on guard. Please, after you leave, give me the antidote. I would be eternally grateful."
"That depends on my mood." Zhuang Le took the money and walked away. "If I'm safe and sound within three days, the antidote will be provided. If anything goes wrong with me, the first one to suffer will be you, Lu... What's your name, Lu?"
"Lu Feng".
"You, Lu Feng, will be the first one to suffer."
Watching her swagger away, Lu Feng shook his head helplessly.
"Master Lu, should we follow them?" Pockmarked man asked urgently.
Lu Feng waved his hand, "No need."
"We can't just let her go like this, what about your poison?" Ma Zi was very worried.
Lu Feng chuckled, "I'm fine, she didn't really poison me."
"How did you know, Master Lu?"
Lu Feng smiled but didn't say anything.
This girl has a bit of Li Xiyue in her, and should also be a woman of principle who wouldn't easily take someone's life.
Nine times out of ten, she was just trying to scare him for her own safety.
"What about that thief?" Pockmarked man asked again.
Lu Feng smiled faintly, "He won't die. Make him pay fifty yuan, then send him to the police station."
We should settle the matter for the thief; we can't let the black market lose money as well.
Zhuang Le took ten yuan and left the black market. He led Xiao Bai around a few times to make sure no one was following them, and then happily went home.
"Xiao Bai, it's my birthday tomorrow, I'll treat you to a big chicken leg. Keep what happened tonight a secret for me, okay?"
Little White thought to itself, it could eat chicken legs whenever it wanted, but it would never betray Yueyue.
Seeing that it didn't say anything, Zhuang Le took it as consent, patted its head, and said, "What a good dog."
noob:"……"
When did it agree?
