Chapter 485: The Master of the Ghost Tower
"Good news?" Yan Wu shook his head. "Sir Shen, are you confused? This is the black market, and it has always been incompatible with the imperial court. Now that you have come here in disguise and exposed your identity, do you really think you can get away with it?" "Shopkeeper Yan also said that the black market and the imperial court have always been incompatible with each other. Even if I came to this black market in disguise, do you really dare to kill me?" Shen Yanxi asked with a smile. Seeing Yan Wu frowning for a moment, he continued. "Instead of treating me as a member of the imperial court and making a big fuss, and even provoking the imperial court to send troops to destroy the black market, it is better to treat me as a business guest. Everything can be discussed in business." Yan Wu looked at Shen Yanxi in silence. The mask on his face was still on. He had an ordinary face, but when he said this, he seemed to have a natural persuasiveness, which made people unconsciously want to agree. "Then according to Sir Shen's opinion, how should this business be done?" Yan Wu asked. Shen Yanxi did not speak, but looked at Jiang Suining. Jiang Suining looked at the box, "The person who asked the black market to transport this box to the imperial city is dead. Shopkeeper Yan can't wait for the real person to take the goods. This box is no longer of any use to you. Instead of leaving it here, it's better to make a new offer." "I heard that the Jiang family is very rich. Miss Jiang can say that, so I think this business can really make me a lot of money. But unfortunately..." Yan Wu changed the subject and shook his head, "The owner of the building has already issued an order that all businesses in the black market must abide by the rules. Since this is someone else's property, I can't give it to you without authorization." "Even with the jade pendant?" "If I haven't seen through your identity, I can take the jade pendant to take the goods, but since I have already discovered your identity, if I still give the things to you, if the owner of the building knows about it, I can't afford it." Jiang Suining frowned and looked at Shen Yanxi. The meaning of Yan Wu's words was very firm, and it didn't sound like a means of evasion and negotiation. Is there only one way left, which is to rob openly? But in this black market, even if you can rob something and leave this escort agency, you may not be able to leave the black market. What's more, if you really do it, it will completely tear your face apart and cut off other possibilities. Just when the atmosphere was deadlocked, Cheng Du, who had been standing at the door, spoke. "Why don't you ask the owner of the building?" Seeing everyone looking at him, Cheng Du shrugged. "I just said it casually. Since this thing has no owner, Yang, no, Miss Jiang can afford the price, why not ask the owner of the building, maybe the owner of the building will agree to this business." "Cheng Du, stop talking nonsense here, can we meet the owner of the building casually!" The waiter immediately spoke. "We may not be able to meet him, but Manager Yan can. I heard that Manager Yan is a close confidant of the owner of the building and is highly valued by the owner of the building. Even if today is not the fifteenth, it should not be difficult to meet the owner of the building." Cheng Du's eyes fell on Yan Wu. The latter also looked at Cheng Du, and after a moment, he said, "If Miss Jiang is really willing to pay a high price, I can give it a try. After all, no one wants to see the money that comes to the door slip away for nothing." The sudden relaxation of the tone made Jiang Suining look at Cheng Du more, but at this moment, she didn't say much, just spoke to Yan Wu. "Thank you very much, Shopkeeper Yan. As for the price, you can rest assured. I am sincere." Yan Wu took another deep look at Jiang Suining, turned the wheelchair again, and returned to the back of the escort agency. "Is the owner of the building you are talking about in this escort agency?" Jiang Mushi asked in confusion. The waiter said, "Of course not. How could the owner of the building be here with such status? The shopkeeper just left from the back." As he said that, the waiter looked at the few people again, "Since the shopkeeper has gone to see the owner of the building, then you should stay here and wait for news. Don't leave casually. This black market is not a place where you can walk around." Facing the waiter's half-warning and half-reminder, Jiang Mushi responded. Jiang Suining looked at Cheng Du who was still standing by the door. "Thank you for your help, Master Cheng." "You're welcome." Cheng Du waved his hand nonchalantly, "Just give me the money." Jiang Suining glanced at Xier, who took out a banknote from her sleeve and handed it to Cheng Du. Cheng Du counted it, and the smile on his face grew wider, "Miss Jiang, you will definitely get what you want because you are so generous." "Thank you Master Cheng for your good wishes." Jiang Suining said, and seeing Cheng Du still standing by the door, he said, "The matter of leading the way is over. Master Cheng, why don't you wait at the shore? If everything goes well, you will need to take your boat across the river." "No problem." Cheng Du stuffed the banknote into his sleeve, "Then I'll leave first. I wish you good luck." At the moment when Cheng Du turned around and left, the smile on Jiang Suining's face sank for a moment, but soon returned to normal. No one in the escort agency spoke again, and suddenly it became quiet. Time passed by bit by bit, and just when Jiang Mushi was waiting more and more anxiously, Yan Wu finally appeared again. "The landlord wants to see you." "Great, it seems that this matter can be discussed." Jiang Mushi showed a happy face. Yan Wu glanced at Jiang Mushi and Xier, "The landlord only wants to see Miss Jiang and Lord Shen. You two, please continue to wait in this escort agency." Jiang Mushi frowned and looked at Jiang Suining worriedly, "Sister..." "It's okay, you take Xier and wait for us here." Jiang Suining shook his head at Jiang Mushi. Although he was worried, Jiang Mushi also knew that the opportunity was rare, and the things were very important to his sister, so he didn't say much, and just stayed in the escort agency with Xier. Jiang Suining and Shen Yanxi followed Yan Wu, entered the back of the escort agency, and walked in through the opened secret door. The passage behind the secret door was not small. Yan Wu pushed the wheelchair in front, and Jiang Suining and Shen Yanxi walked side by side and followed behind. "Where will the owner of the building meet us?" Shen Yanxi asked, while keeping an eye on the secret passage to make sure there were no traps or traps. "Wangliang Building." "What is the owner's attitude towards this business?" Jiang Suining asked. "You will know when you meet the owner." The distance of the secret passage was not short. Jiang Suining estimated the time in his mind. After more than half an incense stick of time, Yan Wu stopped and rocked his wheelchair to the wall. After pressing the mechanism, a secret door in front of him slowly opened, and light instantly poured into the secret passage. After walking out, what came into view was a tea room with exquisite decoration. But at this moment, the tea room was empty. "Wait here for a while, I'll go and invite the owner of the building." Yan Wu rocked his wheelchair out of the door. Jiang Suining looked around, while Shen Yanxi listened attentively and confirmed that there should be no one watching outside the tea room. "Who do you think the owner of the building is?" Jiang Suining asked Shen Yanxi in a low voice. "Are you suspecting Cheng Du?" Shen Yanxi saw through Jiang Suining's thoughts. Jiang Suining nodded, "He is indeed strange, but it may not be him. I am just making a random guess."
