Starting from 40, holding the Star Mall to lead the motherland

Chapter 79 Alone
Han Hui felt it was a waste of time to discuss pharmaceutical manufacturing with an outsider. She asked what she cared about: "When will Yumiko leave Shanghai?"

Han Mengyang said it wasn't that fast and said, "Don't worry, I'll tell you as soon as I have any news."

Han Hui wasn't anxious, but she was worried that Yumiko would suddenly think of her one day: "Brother, we can't just sit there and wait. We should take the initiative."

Han Mengyang flatly refused: "No, this is too dangerous. Yumiko is a veteran agent with a very keen sense of smell. As long as you make a move, she might notice it before you even do it."

Han Hui looked at him and asked, "The Japanese have captured quite a few people recently. Has the underground organization suffered heavy losses?"

Han Mengyang shook his head, indicating he didn't know. The Red Party only had a single line of communication. After he was arrested, the line was severed. Now he was a sleeper, waiting to be awakened.

"lurking?"

Han Mengyang smiled and said, "I've made quite a few friends in Shanghai over the years, so it shouldn't be a problem to ask for information or ask them for a little favor."

"All right!"

Han Mengyang was worried that she would act on her own, so he said anxiously, "Xiao Man, you promised me that you wouldn't act on your own."

Han Hui agreed, and then said that she was going out in the evening: "Don't worry, I'm going to get some information, not to kill Yumiko."

It would be strange if he could be relieved. However, Han Mengyang knew her temper, and fifteen years old was the age of passion. So he couldn't suppress her too much, otherwise it would backfire.

In the evening, Han Hui went to look for Siyanzai. This time, she collected very few jades, and the quality was average.

In order not to lose Han Hui, a generous customer, Siyanzi took out another good thing and said, "I just got this. It's definitely a good item."

Han Hui saw a group of colorful terracotta warriors and asked, "What is this?"

Four Eyes said flatteringly, "This is a Tang Dynasty sancai pottery, unearthed not long ago. Mr. Lu, look at this rider. The figure is powerful, the glaze color is even, and the body is plump. You will definitely not regret buying it."

Han Hui didn't recognize Tang Sancai, so she said, "Go get me a glass of water."

The two had been dealing with each other for so long, and Four Eyes believed her and left readily.

Han Hui checked the online store and discovered that this set of Tang Dynasty sancai cavalry figurines could be exchanged for 20 Wealth Points. At first glance, she thought she was seeing things. But once she realized it was 20, she knew these terracotta warriors weren't as simple as Four Eyes had suggested. After all, she'd previously acquired a Tang Dynasty celadon pillow, which the shopkeeper had declared a national treasure, but it was only worth 2000 Wealth Points. A difference of a few times was within reason, but a difference of a hundred times was outrageous.

Four Eyes brought back some water.

Han Hui refused to take his water and asked coldly, "I trusted you, so I asked you to help me collect antique jade. I didn't expect you to have an affair with me."

Four Eyes was startled, but after calming down he said, "Master Lu, this thing is absolutely real, otherwise I will tear my head off and let you kick it like a ball."

Han Hui asked, "It's real, but there's something wrong with it."

Four Eyes paused for a moment before he said, "Master Lu, I thought you didn't care about this."

Seeing Han Hui remained silent and stared at him coldly, Four Eyes shuddered and said, "This terracotta figurine is real. There's absolutely no doubt about it. It was just dug out of the tomb."

Han Hui instantly understood that these terracotta figurines were burial objects. People believed that burial objects carried a strong negative energy, which was bad for both the body and the family's feng shui. Apart from those who resold cultural relics, most people were reluctant to touch them.

"how much is it?"

Siyanzi was feeling guilty, so he quoted the cost price: "Master Lu, this was my negligence. I will make it clear to you next time."

In the end, Han Hui paid $80 for the figurines. The French currency was depreciating so rapidly that the black market no longer accepted them. After parting ways with Four Eyes, Han Hui exchanged the figurines and jade for NT$22.7. Adding to her original holdings, she now had a NT$30.8 worth of NT$.

Afterwards, Han Hui went to the black market to find Hua Ye. She was able to kill Shan Ye so easily thanks to the information provided by Hua Ye, so she wanted to try her luck.

Knowing she was planning to kill Fukada Yumiko, Hua Ye shared all the intelligence he had with her. As the saying goes, "Rats have their ways, shrimps have their ways." And Han Hui actually managed to extract some useful information: Yumiko had a lover named Wang Li, an actor who worked for a film company.

Han Hui got what she wanted and readily took out two big yellow croakers.

Not only did Mr. Hua not only confiscate the fish, he also returned the two large yellow croakers he had previously taken to her: "Brother, you are a hero. Old Hua, I admire you. If you need my help in the future, just let me know."

Han Hui didn't act pretentiously and thanked him with her hands clasped together.

Han Mengyang was waiting for Han Hui at home. Seeing that she hadn't returned by ten o'clock, he became worried. He paced in the yard, checking his watch from time to time.

Han Hui returned home carrying a large package. Seeing his relieved look, she said with a smile, "Brother, don't be nervous. I'm just going to the black market to buy some things."

"What did you buy?"

Han Hui put the package down and said, "Books. Someone took some books from their home to sell. I saw they were all ancient books, so I bought them."

"Are you being deceived?"

Han Hui said nonchalantly, "This big bag is only worth 3,000 French francs. It doesn't matter if I get cheated."

With the mall there, it was hard to get scammed. However, a book could only be exchanged for five points of wealth, so she felt it was not worth it and took it home.

Han Mengyang is very knowledgeable. He found that they were all ancient books. My sister is so lucky.

After drinking a glass of water, Han Hui and Han Mengyang were tired and wanted to rest.

Han Mengyang asked Du Ai: "Didn't you go to inquire about the news?"

Han Hui yawned and said, "I didn't get any useful information. Okay, I'm going to bed."

For the next two days, Han Hui made medicine at home and never went out.

Han Mengyang was initially worried that Han Hui would find out the news, so he kept it a secret. Seeing how devoted she was, he went back to his own business. But when he returned home that night, Han Hui was nowhere to be found.

Huang Shufen hesitated and said, "Xiaoman went to Suzhou and left a message saying he would be back in two days."

Han Mengyang was anxious and angry: "Mom, do you know what she is doing? How can you let her do that?"

It's so chaotic outside now. Even if my sister has martial arts skills, it's very dangerous for her to be alone outside.

Didn't Huang Shufen want to stop her? Of course she did, but she knew she couldn't. "Don't worry, your sister is very cautious and will come back safely."

Everyone has run out, so there is no point in saying more. Han Mengyang sighed: "Then we will wait for her to come back home."

In this situation, it was no longer appropriate to inquire about the news, as it would alert the enemy. The only option was to remain unchanged in the face of change. Although she was worried, she thought that if she could kill Yamano and Yumiko, she should be able to get away with it smoothly.

Well, I have to have a good talk with this girl when she comes back. I can’t always do things alone.
