Chapter 874 was found out
Although Gui'er still felt uneasy, she had no other choice but to warn: "Then Comrade Zhou must be careful and not be exposed."
"Don't worry." Song Xichen stood up, "I will keep a close eye on it myself and nothing will go wrong." After saying that, he put on his top hat and hurriedly left their clinic.
After work that day, Ah Cheng said to Gui Er, "Miss, Wu Mingqiang asked me to tell you that the black market merchant you introduced me to earlier has contacted him again and wants him to transport the goods. What do you think..."
Gui'er pretended to be surprised and said, "Is that so? I haven't heard my classmate mention this recently when I was talking on the phone. Maybe Brother Wu helped them transport goods before and did a good job, so they want to continue to cooperate with them. You can just let Brother Wu handle it yourself."
Ah Cheng smiled and said, "If that's the case, Brother Qiang will probably accept it. After all, the more money the better. But don't worry, the lady will definitely get her share."
Gui'er quickly said, "I don't need it. I'm not short of money right now. Besides, you've already given me everything before. This is a new partnership, so you don't have to give me anything."
Ah Cheng said, "Miss, it's good that you're considerate of us, but it's the rules of the underworld. Please don't make things difficult for Brother Qiang."
Gui'er had no choice but to stop talking, but she still felt uneasy.
A few days later, Shopkeeper Liu told him that he had received feedback from his comrades and had successfully let Wu Mingqiang transport two more orders. He did a great job indeed. The organization agreed that, if nothing unexpected happened, Zhou Tong would ask Wu Mingqiang to transport some supplies bought from the black market in the future. After all, Wu Mingqiang was Sha Yanxiao's man, and he would be protected wherever he was in Jiangcheng and Fengcheng. Gui'er finally felt at ease.
Gui'er was resting that day, and Sha Yanxiao told her that he would take her on an outing, so she got up early and specially found a neat set of sportswear to wear.
When they arrived at the first floor lobby, they didn't see Sha Yanxiao. Ding Xiang said, "Master, he was here just now, but suddenly it seemed like some government department called and said they had something urgent to discuss with him, and then he left."
"Do you know which department it was from? Who called?" Gui'er was very surprised. She had never heard of a government department calling on Sha Yanxiao.
"No. But it shouldn't be a small matter, because after the young master answered the phone, his face changed. He took Dali brother and hurried out without saying a word. He had originally agreed to take you out to play today. If it were normal, he would definitely tell you when he would be back."
Gui'er felt a little uneasy after hearing this, but there was nothing she could do, so she found a book to read while passing the time. It was almost noon, and Sha Yanxiao still hadn't returned. The housekeeper came over and said, "Miss, why don't you have lunch first? The young master has instructed that if he can't come back due to something, you don't have to wait."
Gui'er thought about it and felt that it was normal that he couldn't come back for such an urgent matter, so she nodded in agreement. After lunch, Sha Yanxiao still didn't come back.
Ding Xiang said, "Miss, why don't you take a nap? I'll call you when the young master comes back."
Guier said, "Okay."
I returned to my bedroom, took a book, and just sat down when the door was pushed open. It was Sha Yanxiao.
Gui'er happily put down the book and said, "Brother, why did you come back just now? Have you eaten yet?"
Sha Yanxiao looked at her intently for a few seconds, then moved a stool to sit in front of her and said, "Not yet. I just finished taking care of something."
"What's the matter? It sounds very urgent. Is it serious?" Guier asked with a frown. She actually wanted to test it out, in case it was related to the revolutionary party.
"The Inspection Office reported that someone has been aggressively purchasing cotton cloth, grain, and medicine from the black market and shipping them to areas where the revolutionary party is located. They're all passing through Jiangcheng and Fengcheng."
Gui'er was shocked when she heard this. Wasn't this exactly Zhou Tong and Wu Mingqiang's black market cargo? How could they have been caught by the Inspection Department?
"Oh, really? So how are things going now?" Gui'er didn't know how far the inspection office had investigated, so she pretended to be confused and tried to test the progress first.
"Director Qian of the Inspection Department has been working there since my father was alive. He is upright, loyal to his duties, and smart and capable. If he hadn't had a background and wasn't so naive, he would have been promoted long ago." As he spoke, he stared into Gui'er's eyes, as if he wanted to see her inner thoughts through her eyes.
Gui'er was flustered. She felt that Sha Yanxiao must have known a lot of things. Should she confess to him or continue to pretend ignorance? Her heart was in turmoil. She quickly avoided Sha Yanxiao's gaze and said with a smile, "So he's such a capable person. He will definitely be a good assistant to my brother."
"Yes, he was not valued when his father was here, so now he is trying hard to perform well, probably because he wants to get promoted. So when he found out this time that it was related to someone close to me, he was very smart. He kept his troops under control and came to me directly." Sha Yanxiao said with squinting eyes. His eyelashes were very long, like a small comb that was slightly curled up, but underneath he had a pair of sharp sword-like eyebrows, which brought a full sense of oppression. It made people feel very beautiful and dangerous, but they could not help but be attracted to it.
"Someone around you? Oh, brother, are you talking about Wu Mingqiang transporting illegal goods? Actually, I asked my classmates to help introduce him. I thought that the foreign trucks you withdrew from the mine were idle anyway, and I could make some extra money to support my brothers and help out." Gui'er really couldn't stand the pressure anymore. She knew that Sha Yanxiao must have found out about it, and he wanted to hear her story now.
"Really?" Sha Yanxiao stood up and sat next to Gui'er, gently hugging her into his arms. "Guier, do you know this is illegal? If the central government or those bastards around Big Brother find out, they'll think I'm collaborating with the Communists."
Gui'er had actually thought about this relationship, but she felt that as long as Wu Mingqiang didn't say anything and Song Xichen, as the police chief, protected her in secret, everything would go smoothly and no one would find out.
"I'm sorry to have caused trouble for my brother, Wu Mingqiang. How is he now?"
"He's been locked up. Director Qian's investigative skills are amazing. Through Zhou Tong, he found not only my sister, but also another person. Sister, do you know who it is?"
Song Xichen, this name popped up in Gui'er's mind, but she didn't dare to say it out loud. Sha Yanxiao had told her a long time ago not to contact Song Xichen. If she mentioned him in this situation, Sha Yanxiao would definitely be exposed. Moreover, she still had a little hope in her heart, hoping that Song Xichen would not be implicated.
