Reborn as the spoiled male wife of the mortal enemy

Chapter 350: Don’t Force Sales

Sheng Yu'an frowned and said, "Bai Xun, this is a serious matter. I don't want you and Nanchun to be too deeply involved."

Nan Chun said anxiously, "Yes! Bai Xun, this matter is not as simple as you think. It's not just a matter of buying and selling. It involves too many things. It's better for you not to get involved. We will find a way to get the gauze and weapons."

"Actually, you don't have to think about it so complicatedly. I'm just a businessman. Merchants pursue profits. I will sell goods to whoever can make me money. This has nothing to do with what path I take or what beliefs I have." Bai Xun said with a smile.

"But, those people wouldn't think that way, would they? As long as you're even slightly involved in this matter, those people might find an excuse to... to..."

Nanchun didn't dare to say any words related to death, for he was afraid that his words would come true.

"What about you? Why did you participate in it without hesitation even though you knew it was full of danger? You are my legally married wife. If you were exposed and caught by them, could I stay out of it?" Bai Xun asked.

"We got divorced. Because of the divorce, I..." Nanchun hesitated to speak.

"Alas, you actually know better than me that those people will not let me go just because we are on good terms or not. They would rather kill a thousand people by mistake than let one go. It's a big risk both ways, so I might as well help. I know some inside stories, and when encountering special situations, I know how to deal with them better." Bai Xun said.

This is true.

Isn’t Qiuyue’s death a good example?

Qiuyue knew nothing about those things.

In the end, he still lost his life.

"But..." Nanchun was still worried.

Bai Xun touched his face and said with a smile, "Don't worry, even if I'm really caught, I can save my life. Your husband's abilities are more than just this! Yangcheng Governor Zhang Jincai needs me now. He's pinning his future on me, and he wouldn't want me to die."

Upon hearing this, Sheng Yu'an looked at him in surprise. "Could it be that the death of Shuncheng Supervisor Chen Peng is related to you? Chen Peng's death is most beneficial to Zhang Jincai, so there are rumors that it was Zhang Jincai who did it."

"He is a thorn in Supervisor Zhang's side. It's only a matter of time before he is eliminated. I just added fuel to the fire and sped up the process," said Bai Xun.

"Why did you attack him? I heard that the Bai family has always relied on Chen Peng." Sheng Yu'an was puzzled.

"It's not that the Bai family relies on him as a big tree, but Chen Peng relies on the leverage he has over our Bai family to constantly ask for money and make them do dirty things for him.

"When my grandfather was in charge, he was involved in tomb robbing and had a guilty conscience, so he needed Chen Peng to help the Bai family eliminate dissidents and clear the way. Now, the Bai family's tomb-hunting team is gone. I don't have to be controlled by others anymore." Bai Xun said.

"But Zhang Jincai is even more ruthless than Chen Peng." Sheng Yu'an said worriedly.

"Although Chen Peng doesn't have any special abilities, he's been able to amass a lot of wealth for his faction thanks to the Bai family. Now that one of their purses is gone, I'm afraid those people will resort to desperate measures.

"Not only does Director Zhang have Chen Peng's life on his hands, but he's also too eager to climb the ladder. He's already cut off some people's financial resources and is now trying to take their jobs. Just a little fanning of the flames will surely lead to someone else stepping up to act as judge," Bai Xun said.

"Master Bai... is truly thoughtful!"

Chunxiao said this, glancing at Nanchun and thinking, "He's more than just meticulous! This kind of person is terrifying... Others take one step at a time, but he takes one step at a time, three steps ahead. If he really wanted to control Nanchun, Nanchun would probably be powerless to fight back."

Bai Xun said, "I'm not entirely sure what you're trying to do, or what results you're aiming for. But even the humblest of men have a duty to protect the world. [Note 1] I understand this."

Sheng Yu'an's heart trembled, this was what he was thinking.

Although the power of each individual is small, when the small power of thousands of people is combined together, it will definitely change the situation.

At noon, Bai Xun led his men westward.

Meet up with the Fourth Master's men between Jincheng and Yangcheng, then board a boat and ambush by the river.

The night was as dark as ink, a bright moon hanging high in the sky, casting a silvery glow. In the distance, a hazy silhouette emerged, and with a deep, powerful roar, a cargo ship slowly approached.

More than a dozen small boats on the river bank started moving and slowly approached the big ship.

Sheng Zexi's sweet dream was disturbed by the sudden ringing of the phone.

"Young Master, our ship was hijacked..." Baisha's voice came from the other end of the phone.

Sheng Zexi's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly asked, "Robbed? By whom?"

Bai Xun picked up the phone and chuckled, "I was bored, so I wanted to see what goodies Master Sheng had brought. And when I saw it, it was incredible! They were all really good stuff!"

"Bai Xun? Are you crazy?" Sheng Zexi shouted angrily.

"There's no need to hide anything between us. The world is not peaceful, and I need a batch of weapons for self-defense. It just so happens that you, Master Sheng, have them, but even if I tell you straight, I'm afraid you won't sell them to me. So I can only resort to this last resort." Bai Xun said.

"Master Bai, I never thought you would be so despicable!" Sheng Zexi said gritting his teeth.

"Same here! You're transporting controlled substances under the guise of tea, selling them to Westerners, exchanging them for weapons, and then selling them on the black market for exorbitant prices. Honestly, you're even more shameless than me for making such a shameless profit!"

Master Sheng, think carefully! This will be reported in the newspaper tomorrow. Your Sheng family is a family of scholars after all. Even if you can't leave a good reputation for eternity, it wouldn't be a good thing to end up in a bad reputation for eternity, right?

Besides, the situation is so tense now. Aren't you worried about holding on to that batch of goods? It doesn't matter who I sell it to. I'm not refusing to pay. We are doing a normal business. But the price has to be fair. You can't ask for an exorbitant price. I don't force sales, and you can't take advantage of me. "Bai Xun said with a smile.

Sheng Zexi gritted his teeth, then laughed in anger, "You're not going to force me to buy or sell? You've said all the good things! Alright, let my people go! I'm still waiting for the delivery!"

"Where is what I want?" Bai Xun asked.

Sheng Zexi said, "Go to the riverside dock warehouse and bring your own people to transport it. I only want gold bars, don't try to fool me with waste paper!"

"Mr. Sheng is straightforward! See you at the riverside pier!" Bai Xun said.

Sheng Zexi hung up the phone, furious.

Bai Xun actually knew his background so clearly!

But just like Bai Xun said, holding these weapons did make him feel uneasy. It would be better to give them to him, at least Bai Xun was not the kind of person who would go back on his word or talk too much.

only……

It's so pathetic!

He actually outmaneuvered him!
