"Su Qin, are you sure your classmate found out all the things Yu County Food Factory needs are in this carriage?" Zhang Jiujang looked at the few boxes in the carriage somewhat oddly.
Liu Suqin nodded, "I'm 100% sure, look, isn't it written here? 'Yu County Food Factory.'"
She pointed to a sign standing nearby.
Upon seeing this sign, a sinister look crossed Zhang Jiujang's face as he quickly opened the boxes and took out the medicine he carried in his pocket.
He rapidly mixed the medicine with some water he brought, then used a syringe to inject the mixture into every packaging bag.
After finishing all this, Zhang Jiujang excitedly left the carriage.
He now harbored a heart full of hatred for Xu Ying's entire family. He had merely returned home late from a mission, only to hear that his sister and brother-in-law had divorced. Not only that, both had been imprisoned, accused of harming Zhou Yuelian.
There was no need to say that it was all Huo Chen's doing, and Xu Ying must have helped a lot by his side.
"Jiujiang, someone seems to be coming," Liu Suqin said, spotting someone approaching and immediately called out.
Zhang Jiujang, hearing the footsteps growing closer, quickly pulled Liu Suqin and hid behind a stack of cardboard boxes in the corner.
Liu Suqin collapsed into his embrace, her eyes wide with excitement, shining with light, feeling the chest beneath her of Zhang Jiujang as he held her, sparking something within her.
She couldn't help but open her mouth to speak, but Zhang Jiujang quickly covered her mouth with his hand.
Minister Liu, leading some people, entered the carriage and quickly opened the boxes inside. Secretly, he took out a box and then ran in the opposite direction of their carriage.
Not until he reached the last carriage and saw a man in black with a mask did Minister Liu stop. He asked the figure standing there, "Is that Factory Director Lin?"
The man in black then turned his head, revealing eyes dark as the deep sea: "I'm someone sent by Factory Director Lin.
You've gotten the stuff, right?"
Minister Liu nodded and immediately handed over the stuff.
The man stuffed an envelope into Minister Liu's pocket and then swiftly left the carriage.
Opening the envelope, Minister Liu saw a thick stack of bills inside his pocket, and his face immediately beamed with joy as he ran off.
After Minister Liu had left, Zhang Jiujang quickly let go of Liu Suqin.
Pushed by him, Liu Suqin nearly fell to the ground. Her face flushed, she looked at Zhang Jiujang with a shy expression, "Jiujiang, I—"
Before Liu Suqin could finish, Zhang Jiujang quickly followed out.
After getting a clear look at the man's face, Zhang Jiujang's brow furrowed deeply. He quickly approached Minister Liu and collided with him intentionally.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I lost my wallet and was a bit frantic, I apologize," Zhang Jiujang hurriedly said with apologies.
Minister Liu shook his head, his mind still delighted about the money he had just received.
He did not notice that the contents of his pocket had already been stolen.
Having taken the items, Zhang Jiujang quickly pulled Liu Suqin to retreat.
Once they reached a deserted area, Zhang Jiujang quickly took out the items. His expression changed drastically as soon as he saw what it was.
"What's this?" Liu Suqin asked, full of curiosity.
Zhang Jiujang, however, looked very solemn. He had seen the man take a box of food out of the carriage; how did it turn into money now?
Could it be that he had sold the items?
At the thought of this, Zhang Jiujang's heart clenched tight—if that person encountered a problem after eating the food and Xu Ying found out, then everything he had done would have been for nothing.
He was waiting for those goods to be taken to the diplomatic exchange and then sold to those foreigners. If those foreigners suffered problems after eating the food, it wouldn't be a small matter.
That would not be a simple matter of offending those foreign guests; it would completely destroy the friendship between several nations, surely enough for Xu Ying to be arrested.
Zhang Jiujang's eyes grew colder. He had to find out who had bought this food.
He couldn't let Xu Ying realize there was a problem with this batch of goods beforehand. Even if he himself was in trouble, he would drag Xu Ying down with him.
Zhang Jiujang gripped the handgun in his arms and headed straight for the carriage Minister Liu had just entered.
At this moment, Minister Liu was also looking for Zhang Jiujang. He had just entered the carriage and discovered his money was missing. Thinking of the man who had bumped into him earlier, Minister Liu was seething with rage.
Damned thief, to actually steal from him.
He had taken a huge risk to get the goods out from Yu County Food Factory, and in the blink of an eye, this thief had stolen all his money.
Minister Liu, fuming, was about to find a train attendant, but as soon as he stepped out of the carriage, he ran into Zhang Jiujang.
He was about to unleash a torrent of anger and shout for someone to catch the thief.
But as soon as he opened his mouth, he felt something pressed against his waist. Glancing down in shock, he saw a gun, and Minister Liu was scared into a cold sweat, "Young man, we can talk about whatever it is.
I haven't offended you, have I? Just tell me what you want, and as long as you don't kill me, everything is negotiable."
Zhang Jiujang faced Minister Liu, "Walk with me."
Minister Liu nodded quickly, not daring to offend Zhang Jiujang.
Liu Suqin, watching from a distance, followed closely behind the two men.
Not until they reached the last carriage did Zhang Jiujang fiercely glare at Minister Liu, "You took a box of marinated meat from that carriage just now. Where did you put it, or did you sell it to someone else?
You'd better get it back immediately, or I'll kill you."
Minister Liu, trembling all over with the barrel of the gun in his face, thought this man must have been sent by Xu Ying. He was so angry that he gritted his teeth; was it just for a box of marinated meat?
Did that girl have to go so far? He had never realized how ruthless she was earlier. Honestly, this young girl shouldn't be judged by her appearance; she looked pretty but had such a cruel heart.
In a moment of hesitation, Zhang Jiujang pressed the gun barrel to his temple, "Speak quickly."
"I'll tell you, I'll tell you, I gave it to Factory Director Lin. It's your own fault for leaking news of a new product so quickly.
Factory Director Lin bought your new product just to continue imitation. They already figured out how to make the previous marinated meat, right?
They must be studying this new product too. I just made a bit of money, and now it's in your hands.
I've said everything now. If you want to report Factory Director Lin, I can testify for you. Can you put the gun away?" Minister Liu was now sweating profusely.
If he had known that stealing a box of Yu County's product would be so frightening, putting his own life at risk.
He wouldn't have gotten involved at all.
Zhang Jiujang heard this, and a flicker of suspicion crossed his face. He looked closely at Minister Liu and asked again, "Where exactly is the stuff?"
Minister Liu, now scared to tears, had told the whole truth; why didn't this man believe him?
"Young brother, I'm telling you the truth. What else do you want me to say?"
