Xiao Jiba clearly remembered that before his rebirth, a single mask could sell for over ten yuan. Now, he had stockpiled them at just one mao each. When the pandemic hit, his wealth would skyrocket a hundredfold, and in the blink of an eye, he would become a billionaire.
Thinking of this, Xiao Jiba couldn't help but smile with confidence. After enduring the long wait until the end of the year, he was on the verge of making a fortune and becoming a billionaire. However, the current situation was completely different from his previous life.
The number of cases nationwide was very low, factories were not shutting down, and medical projects were being launched one after another, raking in foreign currency at an astonishing rate. Initially, the prices in foreign trade did rise, but as factories sprang up everywhere, prices began to drop day by day. There was even a point where supply exceeded demand.
In fact, the prices of medical supplies domestically were cheaper than they had been six months ago. Who could he turn to for an explanation? At first, when he saw prices rising daily, he felt quite pleased and thought about selling at a high price—no longer content with just ten yuan each. But now it seemed impossible.
He calculated that selling for five or six yuan would be acceptable. To his dismay, domestic prices had peaked at three yuan and then stagnated. Realizing the situation was dire, he wanted to sell quickly. He found a pharmacy and had just finalized a deal when the store owner received an unfamiliar phone call.
After answering the call, the owner's expression changed dramatically; on the other end of the line was someone promising to sell him the same product at ten percent less than what Xiao Jiba was offering. Xiao Jiba had already lowered his price below market value to sell quickly, and he never expected someone would offer an even lower price.
After hanging up, the owner told Xiao Jiba to wait for news. Once it was confirmed that the caller was Chen Yu and that he indeed had a factory producing medical supplies, the owner decisively chose to do business with Chen Yu instead.
Xiao Jiba waited anxiously for news from the owner but after several calls to inquire, he sensed something was off when the owner hesitated in his responses—he realized that the deal had fallen through. As prices continued to plummet day by day, Xiao Jiba grew increasingly anxious.
He spent every day going out to negotiate deals, but every time one fell through. In desperation, he clung to one pharmacy and finally uncovered the truth: it was Chen Yu who was sabotaging him. Even more frightening was that as time passed, it became clear that even without Chen Yu's interference, his stock was becoming harder to sell.
Prices nationwide were crashing; at this point, he couldn’t even sell his stock for what he originally paid. Anger surged within Xiao Jiba as he bought an axe and stashed it in his backpack. Before dawn broke, he arrived at the entrance of Chen Yu's residential complex.
As Chen Yu drove to work that morning, he found himself blocked by Xiao Jiba. Lowering his car window with irritation, Chen Yu asked sharply what was going on.
"What's the matter?"
Xiao Jiba pulled out his machete and said fiercely, "You little brat, stop pretending. I know you're also a reincarnator. You messed up my plans, so of course I'm here to settle the score with you."
Chen Yu sighed, "What's the big deal? It's just a few masks."
"After all, we are half-siblings; I took your masks," Xiao Jiba said, his expression faltering with suspicion. "Really? At what price?"
Chen Yu smiled. "Five bucks each. I'll take however many you have. Get in the car."
Xiao Jiba scratched his head, momentarily thinking he was hallucinating. He fiddled with the axe in his hand. "Don't try any tricks, or I'll chop your head off."
Chen Yu chuckled a few times. "That won't do."
Xiao Jiba put the axe back in his backpack and got into Chen Yu's car. Under Xiao Jiba's guidance, they arrived at the front of his warehouse. For the past six months, he had been living and eating in this warehouse.
He opened the door and was stunned; the entire place was empty, and all the medical supplies he had stockpiled were gone.
After Chen Yu parked the car and approached the door, he feigned surprise at the empty warehouse. "Where's your stuff? Come on, buddy, this isn't my fault. I want to buy your goods for a hundred bucks each, but now I can't even do that."
This batch of goods was Xiao Jiba's only hope for turning his life around, and now it was all gone; he felt like he was about to explode.
Xiao Jiba stood frozen for a few seconds before grabbing his bag to pull out the axe. "I don't care! I bought this stuff from your factory; you ruined my business, so you must compensate me a hundredfold!"
He charged at Chen Yu but was kicked to the ground. Chen Yu stepped on his face and sneered, "Idiot, did you think it would be as easy as last time? Sorry, I'm here to collect debts after my reincarnation.
Haha, this time I want to enjoy wealth and glory while watching you live like a dog in humiliation."
After laughing a few times, Chen Yu turned around, got back in the car, started it up, and just as he was about to leave, he cast a sinister smile at Xiao Jiba.
"By the way, I forgot to tell you. Just now, when you tried to stop me, I secretly called your creditor and informed them of this warehouse's location. They won't take long to arrive."
"Wha... what?"
Xiao Jiba was frozen in shock. After Chen Yu walked away, Xiao Jiba hurriedly fled.
Thinking it over, he realized that all his misfortunes stemmed from Duan Xia abandoning him. If Duan Xia had nurtured him like she did Chen Yu, he would surely have been able to get into a prestigious university and live an exciting life.
He had long found out Duan Xia's address, and his original plan was to humiliate her after he made his fortune. Now that making money was out of the question, he sought revenge instead.
That night, he sneaked into Duan Xia's house. Just as he was about to escape after confronting her, he discovered that the area outside was filled with Hat Uncle's men, and he was struck with panic.
"How could this be?"
Chen Yu pushed through the crowd and stepped forward, pointing at Xiao Jiba with a heartbroken expression.
"You beast! Our mother lives alone, and I'm very worried about her safety. So I installed online surveillance in her room to check in on her from time to time. I never expected to see you laying hands on her today. I've already handed over the surveillance footage to Hat Uncle. You're finished."
Xiao Jiba's legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground; there was no escape now.
Feigning great anger, Chen Yu charged forward. The surrounding Hat Uncle's men quickly cautioned him.
"Don't be impulsive; he has a knife."
Chen Yu approached Xiao Jiba and slapped him hard across the face, leaning in close to whisper in his ear.
"Do you know where your batch of supplies went? Heh, while you were lurking around my neighborhood, my people drove off with them."
Xiao Jiba suddenly looked up, his eyes filled with fury as he shouted.
"I'm going to kill you!"
He pulled out a newly bought axe from his bag and swung it at Chen Yu. Anticipating the move, Chen Yu tightly grasped his wrist.
Seeing this, Hat Uncle quickly stepped in to restrain Xiao Jiba.
Two years later, he was sentenced to death.
