To avoid attracting attention, Xia Liuqing kept a low profile. At this time, he only inquired about the price of buckwheat from a few vendors.

The point is to get the other person to come to you first, so that they won't have any suspicions.

Therefore, he felt that his plan was particularly perfect.

"Who are you? How did you know I wanted buckwheat? And do you have that much? I'm a businessman. If I don't even have any buckwheat, I won't go there. I won't even go if there are only a few bags."

He kept insisting. The man instantly felt a surge of frustration. Why was this old man so stubborn?

I told you there was buckwheat, but that was just to trick you into coming.

But you insist on finding out the details. Forget it, in order to deceive the other party, he could only swallow his anger and nod slightly.

“I know you don’t want to go now, but so what? You can only find out about the price of buckwheat if you go there. You definitely won’t know if you don’t go.”

"Don't worry, I have plenty of buckwheat here. I've taken all the buckwheat from those people."

He went to great lengths to bring Xia Liuqing back.

After all, in this kind of world, he couldn't just take someone away from the street, as that would easily arouse suspicion.

When Xia Liuqing heard that the other party was willing to give these things, she realized that the other party had already been tricked.

Now that we've already been tricked, the rest is easy.

"Then I'll go with you, but you can't lie to me."

They left quickly, leaving the vendors who remained in the spot stunned. When had they ever seen such a person?

They would definitely know any major supplier, but they've never seen this person in the local area.

“When have you seen him? Isn’t he ruining our business? Our business was doing just fine before, but now that he’s here, he’s going to destroy it all.”

"Isn't that right? I don't know who they are, but they've never done anything like this to damage our reputation before."

"Maybe it's because they harvested some buckwheat this year; they might be a businessman from out of town."

While the vendors were still chattering away, Mei Jinfeng came over and joined their discussion to find out what had just happened.

After understanding the situation, Mei Jinfeng could only say that Xia Liuqing was too clever. Disguising himself as a businessman was the right decision. But he had already left. Shouldn't they chase after him?

Soon, Feng Tianci and Mei Jinfeng caught up together. Xia Liuqing did not have any argument after entering the dilapidated courtyard, but he also noticed that there was no buckwheat.

"Aren't you lying to me?"

"I only came because you said you had grain here, but you don't have any grain at all, so I'm leaving. I'm really fed up. You young people are really unreliable."

He spoke half-heartedly, blaming all the mistakes on the other party. The man in front of him, seeing Xia Liuqing already here with him, didn't want to beat around the bush anymore. Anyway, he'd already captured her; once he brought her back, he'd make sure his boss was dealt with perfectly.

"Alright, there's no need to say anything more. I'm not going to try to fool you anymore. Since you've already come with me, let's go somewhere together. After we get there, you'll be free. Don't worry, I promise I won't let you suffer any injustice during this time."

Xia Liuqing knew better than anyone else, but he was unwilling to go. The other party had said that there was no place for them to survive here.

The two of them ended up arguing. In the end, when the other party said that he couldn't take the grain back and that it was at his uncle's house, Xia Liuqing had no choice but to agree.

But I told them that if they continued to try to fool me, I wouldn't be so lenient.

When they arrived at their place, Xia Liuqing felt inexplicably cold, but at least they had arrived. Finally, the door opened, and they saw a man dressed in a black robe.

"Boss, I finally brought the person back."

After he finished speaking, he was panting heavily. He knew that he would be in trouble if he didn't complete the task today, but since he had already completed the task, there would be a reward.

"Boss, what kind of reward do I get?"

He stared longingly at the man in black in front of him, feeling that he could at least get a portion of the reward, and after getting the reward, he could do more.

After they came out, the leader in front turned his head.

His gaze fell on this person, his eyes filled with disdain.

I haven't even held you accountable for what you did before, and now you're already thinking about getting a reward.

"What's wrong? Can't you do these things without rewards? Or do you think everything you've done can be forgiven?"

"You're only being forgiven this time because you've redeemed yourself. If you want a reward, how about we settle the accounts?"

If it weren't for the fact that this idiot is still useful to me, I wouldn't have to keep him around.

The man in black was already eager to get rid of this fool in front of him. This fool not only didn't help him, but also made many things seem much more complicated.

Seeing that everything was going wrong, Xia Liuqing tried to walk towards the door, but he was stopped. Seeing Xia Liuqing's unyielding attitude, the leader burst out laughing.

"I've never seen such a man with such backbone before, especially an older one. I sense a predator-like aura about you. It seems you're different from ordinary businessmen."

As the man in black spoke, he removed the hood from his black robe. After looking at the man's hair, Xia Liuqing immediately realized that this was not a man at all.

It's because the voice sounds like a man's, but she's actually a woman. What kind of strange person is that?
He immediately felt disgusted. Could this woman be setting her sights on him? Although he thought she was a woman and therefore not so disgusting, he still thought she was a vicious person.

"Stay away from me. I have no interest in tomboys. If you get any closer, don't blame me for being impolite." (End of Chapter)
