Chapter 125: When the Rabbit Is Gone, the Dog Is Cooked

Zheng Degui's emotions are extremely sensitive now.

His younger brother's sneaking away makes him feel resistant toward everyone.

Liu Bo nodded and said, "I asked three times, everyone said the same thing, it's not false, and the news has already spread to our factory!"

"What did you say?!"

Where has the news spread to?

Zheng Degui hurriedly ran to the door and glanced outside.

Those middlemen have indeed started to cause a commotion.

Liu Bo said, "The news of the other side lowering prices came very suddenly, spreading quickly, and we can't defend against it!"

"Damn it!"

"Even if we can't stop it, we still have to try!"

"I barely managed to attract this much business!"

"As long as Li Jiaci dies, I can turn the tide!"

"Go stop them!"

"Hurry up!"

Zheng Degui was anxious like an ant on a hot pan.

The group of middlemen outside is his only hope for a turnaround right now.

We absolutely cannot let them be taken away again!

However.

He forgot the most important thing.

Those middlemen could be attracted by his low prices, but they could also be lured away by the other side's low prices.

If you talk feelings with a profiteer, the profiteer laughs at you as an idiot!

By the time Zheng Degui rushed to the door.

Before him, a dark crowd of middlemen was urgently withdrawing.

"You guys stand there for me!"

"Damn it, I've given you so many benefits, letting you earn such a profit margin!"

"As soon as the other side releases news, you turn your backs and deny people, right?"

"All of you damn well stay here, none of you think about leaving!"

Zheng Degui hastily pulled open the gate.

Before this, those middlemen, in order to seize the timber, were about to crash this gate down.

But now the gate is open, and they actually ran off without looking back.

Zheng Degui lunged forward.

The people around, seeing this, all dodged aside.

They watched helplessly as Zheng Degui fell flat on his face.

"Boss Zheng, it's not that we lack righteousness; we're all in business, so we certainly put courtesy first!"

"Your prices are low, so we'd surely choose you first, but now Boss Li's prices are even lower, so it's no wonder we chose him instead!"

"Exactly, and Boss Li's timber is top-notch!"

"If it weren't for your low prices during this period, I wouldn't even glance at the timber your factory produces if it were thrown on the road!"

"Why are you still chatting here? Hurry over to grab the timber; if you're late, damn it, there'll be none left!"

……

The middlemen scattered in a bustle.

Each got into their vehicles and sped away.

Only a thick, pungent exhaust remained, choking Zheng Degui so that his tears and nose madly surged.

Liu Bo came out at that moment, saw Zheng Degui's miserable state, and couldn't help but sigh.

He threw the resignation letter he had long prepared onto the ground.

Then he slipped one hand into his pocket and lit a cigarette.

"Boss, I've already written this resignation letter!"

"I had already anticipated this ending!"

"It's a shame you're so arrogant, you can't bear to hear the sincere words of those around you!"

"I hope this incident gives you a lesson!"

"I'm off, take care!"

Liu Bo waved his hand, smoke drifting from his mouth.

At that moment, Zheng Degui suddenly sat up and shouted at him, "Liu Bo, stop right there!"

Liu Bo slowly stopped, turned his head, and glanced at him.

"I've finished my work!"

"I didn't ask you to do work, you know, can you lend me a cigarette to smoke?"

Zheng Degui lowered his head; his facial expression was unclear, but his tone was extremely listless.

Hearing that, Liu Bo gave a light laugh, directly took out a cigarette pack from his pocket, and threw it in front of him.

"It's yours!"

……

Jiangcheng.

Bian Mao Shichang.

Li Jiaci hung out with the workers for two days, ate all the local snacks, and bought quite a few souvenirs.

Wang Yingna held a bag in her hand, hummed a little tune, and was in a very good mood.

Suddenly.

A group of Bei Bang Guo people in military uniforms appeared at the intersection.

Wang Yingna instantly recognized Xiao Cui and Jin Ailing among them.

She excitedly waved at the two of them.

"Xiao Cui!"

"Miss Jin!"

Just then.

Li Jiaci covered her mouth from behind and whispered, "Don't shout, be careful not to cause trouble!"

Wang Yingna was dragged by him into an alley.

Glancing once more toward Xiao Cui's direction, that group was solemnly discussing something.

Having experienced the earlier sneak attack on Xiao Cui where he was choked, Li Jiaci now feels uneasy whenever he comes to Bian Mao Shichang, because Bei Bang Guo people really can't take jokes—joking around carries the risk of death.

"Jiaci bro, what are you nervous about?"

"We're all friends; saying hello when we meet is perfectly normal, right?"

"Besides, I hit it off with Miss Jin; she said next time I come to Bian Mao Shichang, she'll take me out shopping!"

Wang Yingna said, confused.

Li Jiaci shook his head.

"They were just being polite, and you took it seriously!"

"Miss Jin is a lieutenant colonel–level officer; she's in uniform here, so she must be on duty!"

"The two countries have different systems, so their rules differ too!"

"Don't cause me trouble!"

Hearing that,

Wang Yingna was visibly unhappy.

She jabbed him in the stomach with her elbow and stormed off, angry.

Li Jiaci hurriedly followed, worried that this guy would run up to people.

But it was all right.

By the time they left, that group had already gone.

Li Jiaci checked the time on his phone and urged Wang Yingna: "We have to go back to the hotel; we still need to rush back to the factory early tomorrow morning!"

"What's the rush?!"

Wang Yingna hadn't had enough of browsing.

Although the local customs here are very different from Huaguo's, where there are people there is lively life, and the more unknown something is, the more it sparks endless curiosity.

Wang Yingna picked out a few Bei Bang Guo–style clothes and tried them on for comparison.

"Jiaci bro, do you think I look good in this?"

Li Jiaci crossed his arms, gave her a casual glance, and perfunctorily said, "Looks good, looks good—you'd look good even in leaves!"

"Tch, nothing to say to you!"

"If Miss Jin were here right now, she'd definitely be able to give me some advice!"

Just as Wang Yingna's words fell,

Li Jiaci suddenly saw a familiar figure walk past before his eyes.

Jin Ailing approached Wang Yingna with her hands behind her back, wearing her uniform, and said coldly, "That outfit doesn't suit you!"

"Oh my!"

Wang Yingna was genuinely startled.

Her whole body jumped up.

If she hadn't turned around and seen Jin Ailing's face, she would have thought it was some female ghost muttering behind her!

"Miss Jin?"

"Aren't you on duty?"

"Jiaci bro even told me not to bother you..."

Wang Yingna patted her chest and said with a laugh,

Jin Ailing said: "Not disturbing is the right call; if you rashly rush over, what greets you won't be my greeting but my subordinates' guns!"

"Your country is so scary..."

Wang Yingna glanced guiltily at Li Jiaci.

Turns out what he said was all true!
