Moh Li thought for a moment before he slowly began to speak.
"He is currently one of the Ou Family’s buyers for medicinal materials, but he does so secretly. The quality of the medicinal materials he provides is questionable, yet he offers the highest prices. I discovered this after observing for a long time.
Furthermore, all his goods pass through the grocery store, yet I haven’t seen him purchase any stock. Isn’t that strange?"
Moh Li had accepted the job from Ouyang for the very purpose of investigating. The Ou Family was substituting inferior goods for good ones; if this continued, they would have no reputation left.
"So, that’s why he never leaves the grocery store?"
Bai Zhi frowned, feeling that something was off. Just because of substituting inferior goods, does one need to keep guard all the time?
"Also, first tell us, what is your relationship with him."
Moh Li didn’t really want to tell Bai Zhi this, as it might soil her ears.
Bai Zhi frowned, and she saw Moh Li frowning as well. "Is there a problem?"
"It’s unclear at the moment, give me a few days to investigate and I’ll tell you."
Right now he only had suspicions, there was no need to inform Bai Zhi.
"Brother, thank you."
Bai Zhi looked at Moh Li very seriously and spoke these words.
"What’s there to thank me for? I am your brother after all. We’ll still be partners in the future; don’t we have a tacit understanding to test? I’ll wait for you tomorrow," Moh Li said, with his ears turning somewhat red.
Bai Zhi suddenly smiled. When would Moh Li ever be able to speak without blushing?
When Bai Zhi returned to her room, Bai Fei and Wu Wa were causing a ruckus.
"Have you two finished your homework? Why are you still fooling around, doesn’t cousin need to go back today?"
Bai Fei and Wu Wa looked at Bai Zhi with a pitiful expression.
"Let’s not mention homework; we’re still good friends, right?"
Indeed, these two wouldn’t do their homework until the very last moment.
"Pfft, we’re not friends," they both said, looking even more aggrieved.
This unexpected touch of affection made them simultaneously want to punch someone and feel moved. Who could scare them like that?
The two of them threw pillows at each other, and the three girls started fooling around together, yet they kept a tacit understanding not to hit each other’s quietly resting hands and feet.
These days were truly happy.
But one never knows how long they can continue, so cherish this moment, appreciate the present.
Old Han at this moment was in an interrogation room, here to help.
Bai Da at this point was like a walking corpse, impervious to both soft and hard tactics, but they couldn’t torture him, so they had called for Old Han’s assistance...
The moment Bai Da saw Old Han, his face turned white; he couldn’t help but recall the desperation when he had been unable to see, hear, or even cry out.
This instant of fear was swiftly captured; the image of a man in despair, no longer wanting to live, collapsed.
"Bai Da, confess for a lenient sentence, resist and face severity; tell us where did that bracelet come from, how did you get the liquid inside," said Old Han, whose help was sought after they couldn’t extract information using other methods.
Since Bai Da had been brought in, looking as if he didn’t want to live anymore, he had been silent, staring vacantly as if he had been traumatized, completely like an idiot who only knew how to eat but wouldn’t speak or do anything.
Just like now, his gaze was dull, in no way that of a normal person.
"It’s okay, I’ll have a look; if not, I’ll give him a couple of injections, see if it’s a psychological problem," Old Han beckoned away any concern, indicating this was not an issue. He walked towards Bai Da, slowly closing the distance...
Bai Da panicked inside although he continued to feign vacancy; in his heart, he was resistant.
What should he do now? Continue to pretend, or...
