My name is Yu Songyu, with "Yu" meaning "pine" and "Shu" meaning "elm." I'll be back in town in a couple of days, so just wait for us here!
As a few of us were chatting happily, several men wearing red armbands suddenly rushed out from the alley. Yu Songyu glanced over and noticed that Wang Xiuli was not among them.
Hmph, all they know how to do is scheme behind our backs like turtles hiding in their shells. What are you all doing?
The leading man spoke first, his tone unfriendly.
Chatting with friends? Is that something you need to interfere with?
Seeing his rude attitude, Yu Songyu's demeanor was no better.
Chatting? What are you holding in your hands? I see you're up to some shady business!
The man had received a tip-off that there were people engaging in speculation here, and the women around him were holding evidence. It was hard not to believe it.
I received a few pairs of socks from home and gave some to my friends. Is that considered speculation?
Yu Songyu maintained a calm expression, while Li Xiuzhen and Uncle Bull Cart were extremely nervous, knowing that the goods were hidden under the cart. What would they do if they got searched?
Besides, if they bought my socks, they must have paid for them, right? Look at my bag; there's nothing in it!
Confidently, Yu Songyu opened her bag for them to see. She had already transferred the money to her space, so she had nothing to fear.
The men leaned in to take a look and found nothing but a few pieces of candy.
The leader remained skeptical; after all, the informant had been very specific about the number of bags involved. How could there be nothing at all?
Here, have some candy!
Yu Songyu took out the candy and handed it to a few girls, keeping the remaining pieces in her palm and raising them in front of the man with the red armband.
Stop trying to get chummy!
The man turned away and exchanged glances with his companions. They immediately understood and began searching around the ox cart.
Uncle Bull Cart and Li Xiuzhen started sweating profusely; they had never experienced such a scene before.
Yu Songyu appeared unfazed; not only was she not nervous, but she also casually sat cross-legged on the ox cart, waiting for them to finish their search.
The ox cart was quite small, and despite their thorough search, they found nothing.
Leaders, you all seem quite busy normally; you can't let someone with ulterior motives use you as pawns! Some people are just petty; if we don't play along with them, they'll cause us trouble. The key is that it drags you leaders into this mess as well. Sigh, truly inconsiderate!
Yu Songyu let out a long sigh, filled with disappointment, as she looked at the group of Red Armbands. Her expression seemed to say, "You fools, you've been played and you don't even realize it."
The others turned pale with anger, their faces flushed. They never expected to be outsmarted like this; that dead woman had embarrassed them so much. They hoped she wouldn't cross paths with them again, or else she would regret it!
The girls were also taken aback, and it was only then that Li Xiuzhen regained her composure.
"Xiao Yu, where's the goods?"
"Over there!"
Yu Songyu pointed to a nearby utility pole where a man was fixing a bicycle.
Li Xiuzhen ran over in confusion and soon found several bags behind the stall.
Uncle Bull Cart and Li Xiuzhen helped load the bags onto the Ox Cart, both eyeing Yu Songyu with suspicion.
"Hey, no need to worship me too much. I learned some tricks when I was young!"
Yu Songyu said calmly, as if discussing something mundane, though there was a hint of unease in her voice.
The two exchanged glances, their suspicion quickly transforming into admiration. If she didn't have real skills, how could she have moved the goods right under their noses without them noticing?
At that moment, they regarded Yu Songyu with newfound respect; indeed, true experts are often found among the common folk!
