Feeling curious, Li Lingyun stood near the store for a while before he finally saw a woman’s purchases and realized the house was a grain store selling grains, dried vegetables, fruits, nuts, and various wines.
The moment he saw the items being sold in the store, a smile spread across his face. He hadn’t expected his third brother’s network to be this extensive—he even had a store in the capital.
All along, he thought he was the one living undercover. Unexpectedly, his third brother wasn’t simple either. It seemed their Li family’s genes were remarkable. Each of them is a smart and handsome person.
Feeling proud, Li Lingyun left the black market in a good mood. Not long after he left, a young man emerged from the store, looking in his direction.
"Boss, do you know that man?" one of the workers asked.
"That guy resembles our boss. He might be a relative," Luo Zhenhe said thoughtfully.
The worker nodded and asked, "Boss, when will you see the big boss again? The wine you brought last time is almost sold out."
"I will send a letter for more wine. We have a cooperation with the Han delivery group, so there is no need to go by ourselves. Let’s finish today’s sales and close early," Luo Zhenhe said casually.
"Understood."
Four days passed in the blink of an eye, and it was now July 11th. Early in the morning, loud knocking echoed through the house, waking Li Chenmo.
He opened his eyes, looked at the clock on his bedside table, and frowned. It was ten minutes before 2 a.m.—who could be here in the middle of the night?
Fearing it might be a thief, he slipped on his shoes and walked out quietly. In the hallway, he saw his second brother and asked, "Second brother, why are you up at this time instead of sleeping?"
Li Lingyun looked at his brother’s sleepy face and said, "Go back to bed, third brother. The knock must be my friends delivering the meat I requested."
Hearing this, Li Chenmo yawned and said, "Second brother, I will help you."
Li Lingyun nodded and opened the door. As soon as the door was opened, they found three people standing by a pickup truck.
As they approached, one of the men stepped forward while saying, "Brother Lingyun, we brought the meat over. We have stored it in jars with ice blocks to keep it fresh."
"Good, bring the jars in and place them by the well," Li Lingyun directed.
"Understood."
With the Li brothers’ help, they moved the jars in fifteen minutes. Before the men left, Li Lingyun said, "Come back tonight at six. Help me deliver the ingredients to my in-laws’ house."
The young man nodded and said, "Okay, I will bring our brothers along."
