Translator: Henyee Translations       Editor: Henyee Translations

Because of the dispute, officials rarely entered this area. As a result, it attracted people from all walks of life to gather. In this area that was mixed with good and bad, an underground black market that was insufficient for outsiders to know gradually formed.

Many transactions and negotiations that needed to be hidden were carried out here. It was not just the locals. Many foreigners had also gathered here for their own purposes.

Wearing a hood, Xu Jiajia walked in this area that was filled with all kinds of people. She received many unfriendly and covetous gazes. After all, she was very beautiful and had a good figure. She was a beautiful scenery standing there, so it was normal for her to attract attention.

A few hooligans with ill intentions had already thrown away their cigarette butts and were about to walk over to hit on Xu Jiajia. However, just as they walked over and before they could slap Xu Jiajia’s shoulder, a few burly men walked over and scolded fiercely, “Get lost!”

“Ouch…”

A few gangsters with malicious intentions hurriedly left. After chasing away the harasser, a few burly men walked to Xu Jiajia’s side and said respectfully, “Madam Xu, this wav please.”

“Mm.” Xu Jiajia nodded slightly and followed the burly man to the left. On her phone screen, there was a message from a friend.

[I sent a few bodyguards to protect you. Did you see them?]

Walking into the corridor on the left, there were three bodyguards guarding there. When they saw Xu Jiajia walking over, they immediately went forward to stop her.

“Elder Ge’s man.” A few burly men pointed at Xu Jiajia and said. The three bodyguards immediately made way.

Xu Jiajia continued walking, and her phone buzzed again. “Hello?” Looking at the caller’s name, Xu Jiajia picked up her phone and placed it beside her ear. Her voice was not loud.

“Jiajia, I’ve already deciphered those special symbols you sent me. What it means is…”

Xu Jiajia memorized all the information as she listened to the caller’s description. “Thank you, Old Lin. You’ve worked hard to help me decipher it. I’ll thank you personally later.”

“Hey, don’t stand on ceremony.”

After hanging up, Xu Jiajia walked into a room under the protection of the burly man. Walking into the study, a middle-aged man with a black mole at the corner of his mouth sat behind the desk.

Xu Jiajia walked straight to him. After confirming the appearance of this mole man, she said coldly to him, “I heard that you’re working with some people overseas as a middleman to help them transfer things, right?”

“Is it your place to ask?” The mole man exploded. He pointed at Xu Jiajia’s nose and scolded, “Don’t think that you can do whatever you want just because you know Elder Ge. Get out.”

At this moment, the phone on the table suddenly rang.

Ring, ring, ring, ring—

After glancing fiercely at Xu Jiajia, the mole man picked up the phone and instantly became respectful. “Oh, it’s you. Please speak!”

It was unknown what was said on the other end of the phone, but the mole man looked at Xu Jiajia in shock and disbelief. After the call ended, the mole man was respectful. He changed his fierce attitude towards Xu Jiajia and instantly became humble. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I shouted too loudly just now.”

Faced with this “Changed Sichuan Face” in front of her, Xu Jiajia looked at him coldly without any emotions. “Answer my question just now. Are you working with foreigners to help them transport goods?”

At this moment, the mole man was already very obedient. He did not expect the delicate Xu Jiajia in front of him to have so many connections that she could even invite that person. Moreover, the other party seemed to be afraid of this girl!

Where did this woman come from? At the thought of this, the mole man knew that he still wanted to do business in the future and survive in this area. He could not lie to Xu Jiajia and tell the truth.

“Yes, yes.” The mole man, who was rubbing his hands like a fly, stood up and nodded. He said politely to Xu Jiajia, “I’m indeed working with a foreign research institute. I don’t understand their true situation. I’m only helping them transport goods to make a living.”

“Alright, don’t tell me so much!” Xu Jiajia couldn’t be bothered to listen to this nonsense. She only wanted to know the most important and core question. “In the past few days, did they give you something to transport overseas?”

Not daring to be negligent or hide anything, the mole man immediately said, “That’s right, that’s right. They did give us a piece of goods to transport overseas.”

“Do you know what it is?” Xu Jiajia asked with a frown.

“Aiyo, we really don’t know about this because when they gave it to us, that thing was stored in a safe. We can’t open it without knowing the password.”

“Where’s the safe now?”

“This …” Faced with Xu Jiajia’s question, the mole man did not know why she was asking this. As an old fox, he subconsciously hesitated.

“You don’t want to say it, right?” Xu Jiajia pressed on step by step, her words filled with threat.

“No, no.” Seeing that Xu Jiajia was a little angry, the mole man quickly waved his hand and said, “I’ll talk, I’ll talk. Don’t be angry!” Then, the mole man looked at Xu Jiajia. The safe that the mysterious foreigners had asked them to transport had already been sent to a freighter transporting sesame oil. He was prepared to secretly bring it out and transport it to his destination through a third country..
