Traveling through the Republic of China to become a special agent, the system is very easy for me

The four of them walked into a private room at the back, where the food and drinks had already been served.

The door of the private room slammed shut. Yuan Ye couldn't suppress his curiosity, so he concentrated and listened carefully to the movements in the room.

As the four of them sat down, they heard the man in the suit say:

"My name is Fan Ming. As a middleman, I would like to formally introduce these two to you. They are heroes from outside the Great Wall, Zheng Sanpao, the head of the Zheng family, and his buddy Li Xiong.

This is Mr. Sun Jianmin, the boss of Maoyuan Gold Shop. Mr. Sun specially invited us here to discuss business and to welcome Mr. Zheng. "

"Don't be disgusted, Mr. Zheng. This restaurant has a nice environment and the food tastes good, so I specially invite you to try the authentic Shanghai local cuisine."

Sun Jianmin was polite and continued:

"I heard that Mr. Zheng has a batch of gold to sell. I'm very interested. I don't know what the quality is. Can you take out a few pieces for inspection?"

"Sure, feel free to take a look. I just don't know how strong Boss Sun is. If he can't take my goods, I'll find another one."

Zheng Sanpao speaks directly.

Fan Ming said quickly:

"Don't worry about Boss Sun's ability. Maoyuan Gold Shop is also a time-honored brand and is very famous in Shanghai."

"I came all the way from outside the Great Wall to Shanghai because I heard that there are many powerful buyers in Shanghai and the prices are fair. As long as this first deal is done, we can have long-term cooperation in the future.

Li Xiong, open the bag and show it to Boss Sun. "

Zheng Sanpao said.

Yuan Ye thought that this big bag actually contained gold items, which must be worth a lot of money.

Li Xiong quickly put the bundle on the table and opened it. Sun Jianmin reached into the bundle and heard the sound of gold colliding. He seemed to pick up some gold and inspected them. He looked at a few of them and then said:

"The condition is OK, but a little old. Some of the gold jewelry has blood stains. To be honest, it's just me. Others may not dare to accept it after seeing it."

This sentence confirmed what Yuan Ye had thought. The gold in the bundle was indeed the stolen goods obtained by the two bandits outside the Great Wall from killing people and robbing.

An idea came to Yuan Ye's mind.

I only heard Sun Jianmin continue:

"Boss Zheng, please name a price. If the price is right, I will take it all."

"Okay, Boss Sun is a straightforward person. I come from outside the Great Wall and I don't accept French currency, only US dollars. I'll just tell you a number. I want 50,000 US dollars for this batch of goods. It's not much, right?"

"Boss Zheng, fifty thousand dollars is a bit expensive. The quality of this batch of goods is OK, but not particularly good. Besides, I know the origin of this batch of goods. I am also taking risks. Boss Zheng, please give me some more money."

Sun Jianmin began to bargain.

"Boss Sun, you are also an expert. If I split this batch of goods and sell them piece by piece, the price will be much higher than this. Since this is our first cooperation, I will give you a little discount. Forty-five thousand dollars, no less."

Zheng Sanpao said somewhat reluctantly.

But Sun Jianmin was clearly unwilling to give up and said:

"This batch of goods is quite large. To be honest, few people in Shanghai dare to take it. Mr. Zheng is a straightforward person, and I will not hide anything. I will accept all the 40,000 US dollars. We will have a long-term cooperation in the future, and I will take care of all your goods. How do you think?"

Zheng Sanpao fell into deep thought. It was indeed difficult to find a buyer with real power. He had also spent a lot of effort to ask a black market agent to find Boss Sun. This place was different from the outside of the Great Wall. He was unfamiliar with the place and was afraid of being robbed by the black market. He wanted to sell it as soon as possible. In addition, it would be good to find a buyer for long-term cooperation. This trip to Shanghai was also to test the waters. He still had a batch of goods waiting to be sold at home.

After a while of hesitation, Zheng Sanpao made up his mind and said:

"Okay, for the sake of long-term cooperation, I will suffer a little this time. I hope Boss Sun will take care of me in the future and not let me suffer any loss."

"Okay, okay. I'll go and raise the money today, and come to my shop tomorrow afternoon at 2:00 to do the deal. I'll pay you and get you the goods. How do you think that works?"

Sun Jianmin was very satisfied with the deal. He really got a great deal. The market value of this batch of goods was at least 60,000 US dollars. If the jewelry shop transformed this batch of goods into the latest styles of jewelry and sold it for more than 80,000 US dollars, not to mention that the price of gold was still rising. This deal was really a huge profit.

"No, I'll decide the transaction location!"

I only heard Zheng Sanpao say.

"Tomorrow at 2pm, we will do the transaction at the abandoned factory building next to Pier 4. You can only bring one person with you."

Zheng Sanpao was worried about the transaction in Sun Jianmin's territory. If someone named Sun came to rob his fellow thieves in his territory, he would have no control over the situation. He could not take this risk.

Yuan Ye thought that this bandit was quite thoughtful and his considerations were correct. Who could guarantee that Sun Jianmin had no bad intentions?

This is good, it is convenient for me to do it, this is a huge sum of money. Yuan Ye couldn't help but feel happy.

"Okay, I'll follow Master Zheng's advice. It's a deal. See you then!"

Sun Jianmin knew that Zheng Sanpao was worried, and he understood it in his heart. If he were in his shoes, he would also be worried, so he agreed without thinking too much.

The deal was done, everyone was very happy and started eating and drinking.

Yuan Ye didn't want to listen anymore, so he went into his private room. Seeing that Zheng Chao and the other two were in high spirits, and that he was full as well, and thinking that he still had to go find Gu Yan, he said goodbye to them and left.

After going downstairs, he saw Li Ruyi was busy, so he greeted her and left the bar without saying anything else. Li Ruyi looked at Yuan Ye thoughtfully.

Yuan Ye walked on the street, the sun shining warmly on his body, and he felt very comfortable. This meal was worth it. He didn't expect to meet an old friend whom he had been thinking about day and night, and there was also a windfall waiting for him.

But the question in my mind still lingered. How could Li Ruyi become the proprietress of a pub? This goddess who was the focus of everyone's attention in school must have a better place to go. Zhuo Wenjun sold wine for love, but why did Li Ruyi do it?

Yuan Ye had already guessed something. Li Ruyi was very progressive in school. She was one of the organizers of the anti-imperialist and patriotic student movement. She was passionate and firm in her thoughts when she gave speeches, which was very touching. After not seeing her for more than a year, how could she give up the career she loved, disappear and become an ordinary bar owner?

Based on Yuan Ye's understanding of her, Li Ruyi is definitely not such a person!

Then there is a possibility that she is hiding her identity. Why is she hiding her identity?

Because she was probably a member of the Red Party, maybe she was one when she was in school a year ago. Now that the situation has changed, she has turned to underground work, and the tavern is the Red Party's base.

But this is just his personal guess and needs to be confirmed. It seems that he needs to get in touch with Li Ruyi more in the future and try to find some clues.
