Chapter 27 The arrogant reseller meets his nemesis, and the 0-yuan purchase begins!
Seeing the expressions on the faces of the three people in front of him, as if they had swallowed flies, Monkey Three's smugness grew even stronger.
"Brother, what era are we living in? Business should be about sustainable development! I bought this original copy for a high price from the captain of a large fleet that was preparing to migrate west. If I don't make a copy, am I really just going to do a one-off deal?"
Zhao Ze's eyes were twitching violently.
He now really wanted to use his giant hammer to crack open this business genius's head, so he could understand what a one-shot deal on a physical level really meant.
Su Li, who had been silent all along, began to exude a faint, chilling killing intent that began to permeate the small warehouse.
Monkey Three's smile froze, and he subconsciously took half a step back. Only then did he realize that the people in front of him were not some kind-hearted men and women.
Just as the atmosphere was about to freeze, Lu Sheng made a move.
He walked straight to Su Li's side and said quickly in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
"Suli, trust me this once. When you go out later, leave your knife here."
Su Li raised her eyelids, her clear, cold eyes quietly looking at Lu Sheng.
In her malicious gaze, the young man beside her showed not a trace of malice towards her, only a cold, meticulous, and calculating nature, like a venomous snake before its prey.
She didn't ask why.
He nodded almost imperceptibly.
This subtle movement reassured Lu Sheng.
He turned around and looked at Monkey Three again, as if nothing had happened, and casually asked, "Is everything in this warehouse yours alone?"
Mentioning his belongings, Monkey Three immediately relaxed his guard, a smile returning to his face, but his tone carried a hint of complaint: "I wish! The rent here is expensive. I share this place with two other black marketeers. Damn it, those two guys have connections; they get their hands on hard currency like diesel and medicine, and they always take the lion's share of the profits!"
Lu Sheng understood.
It seems that the supplies in this warehouse do not belong to Monkey Three alone.
He then pointed to the wide array of goods on the shelves: "Since we're just waiting anyway, let's see what good stuff you have here. You don't mind, do you?"
"Look all you want!" Monkey Three just wanted to finish the transaction and get the five boxes of instant noodles as soon as possible. He waved his hand impatiently. "Just don't touch them. These are our livelihood."
He was just worried about not having a chance to show off his collection.
"Let's go, Brother Zhao."
Lu Sheng gave Zhao Ze a wink, and the two of them strolled around the shelves like they were shopping in a supermarket.
Zhao assumed Lu Sheng was just curious, so he followed behind him, lowering his voice to sigh, "That son of a bitch is richer than our entire fleet."
Lu Sheng did not respond.
His eyes, at this moment, were like a high-precision scanner, rapidly imprinting the layout of the entire warehouse and the location of key materials into his mind.
In the southwest corner, on the third shelf against the wall, are ten unopened barrels of diesel fuel.
On the east wall, the second metal cabinet from the inside, the upper shelf contains antibiotics and bandages, and the lower shelf contains various vitamin tablets.
On the left side of the entrance, there are twenty cases of bottled purified water stacked up.
Food...food is fucking everywhere!
Five boxes of instant noodles can be exchanged for a single sheet of photocopying paper that costs less than one yuan.
Lu Sheng's lips curled into an extremely cold smile.
Even loan sharks wouldn't dare to do this.
"Buzz..."
The copier stopped making noise.
"Alright!" Monkey Three picked up the photocopied map, his face beaming. "Gentlemen, want to check it out? Guaranteed to be clear!"
Lu Sheng and Zhao Ze returned.
Su Li stepped forward, took the map, and pretended to examine it carefully.
In the instant she bent down, she discreetly placed the long, slender battle sword that she never parted with on a nearby shelf piled with miscellaneous items.
This movement was subtle and natural, precisely in Monkey Three's blind spot.
"How's it going? No problems, right?" Monkey Three urged. "I've printed dozens of copies of this thing already, and the captains of those fleets all say it works great!"
Zhao Ze: "..."
He no longer wanted to say another word to this shameless scoundrel.
"The map is fine." Su Li handed the map to Zhao Ze, her voice cold.
"Hehe, that's good!" Monkey Three rubbed his hands together, looking impatient. "Shall we go to the brokerage to complete the formalities? I'm waiting to close the next deal!"
"Let's go," Lu Sheng said calmly.
The four people walked out of the warehouse.
With a loud clang, Monkey Three locked the iron gate with a large general's lock and proudly shook the key.
The group walked silently on the steel suspension bridge leading back to the central building.
Just as she reached the middle of the bridge, Su Li suddenly stopped in her tracks.
"What's wrong?" Zhao turned around in confusion.
Su Li frowned slightly, and for the first time, a look of frustration and coldness appeared on her face: "I forgot my knife in the warehouse."
"What?" Zhao was taken aback.
Monkey Three's expression also changed. He subconsciously turned around and glanced at the tightly locked iron gate, then looked at Su Li, a hint of fear flashing in his eyes.
Should we let him go back alone with this dangerous woman?
He wouldn't dare even if you gave him ten times the courage.
What if this woman turns on him in the warehouse and slices him into pieces?
But he felt it would be too much trouble to ask them all to go back.
Monkey Three's eyes darted around as he quickly calculated in his mind.
Anyway, everything is locked inside, so they can't really come up with anything funny.
Moreover, the burly man surnamed Zhou was still waiting at the dock, so they dared not do anything reckless.
Thinking about this, Monkey Three's laziness and self-righteousness took over.
He feigned impatience and waved his hand dismissively. "Tsk, what a hassle! How about this, you can just send someone back to get it. I'll stay here with the other two, is that alright?"
In his view, holding two hostages would ensure everything went smoothly.
He had barely finished speaking.
"I'll go."
Lu Sheng's voice rang out calmly.
Zhao looked at Lu Sheng with surprise.
Su Li didn't even glance at Lu Sheng, but coldly said to Hou San, "The key."
"Here, here, here." Monkey Three felt uneasy under her gaze and quickly took out the heavy bunch of keys from his pocket and tossed them to Lu Sheng as if they were a hot potato.
Lu Sheng took the keys, turned around, and walked slowly toward the Jin Mao Tower.
His silhouette was both composed and joyful.
……
At the warehouse entrance.
Lu Sheng stood in front of the heavy iron gate, surrounded by empty space, with only the distant sounds of people.
He inserted the bunch of keys into the keyhole.
"Click."
The crisp sound of the lock being opened was particularly clear in the empty corridor.
He pushed open the door, and the room full of supplies lay quietly in the darkness, like a treasure trove waiting for his visit.
Lu Sheng slowly walked in and gently closed the door behind him.
"Clatter".
The door was locked from the inside.
In the darkness, a wild and joyful smile curled at the corners of Lu Sheng's lips.
A thought suddenly occurred to him.
"Free purchase..."
"start up!"
