"Alright, Boss Li."
Manager Fang immediately had the stones brought over. "The items are here."
Upon seeing the stones, Master Zhang's eldest nephew's face immediately turned pale, and he hastily took half a step back.
Seeing this, Master Zhang realized something was wrong. He immediately said angrily, "You stop right there! What's going on with these stones? Explain it to me clearly."
"I, I don't know," the eldest nephew said, his face pale, and took a few more steps back.
Master Zhang grabbed his collar and said, "If you don't know, why are you backing away? Speak up! Otherwise, don't blame me for beating you!"
"Uncle, I was wrong, I regret it! But this wasn't my idea either, someone told me to do this. They said if I could get these things onto Boss Shui's truck and into the warehouse, they'd give me a hundred thousand yuan," the eldest nephew said in a hurry.
"They're just a few stones, it shouldn't cause any major problems, right?"
A hundred thousand?
Master Zhang was furious and slapped him on the head, "You idiot! If there weren't major problems, who would give you a hundred thousand yuan to do something like this?"
"Couldn't you use your brain to think about it?"
"I, ah!"
"I'll beat you to death, you stupid thing, beat you to death!" Master Zhang grabbed him and beat him soundly, making him cry out in pain.
After a while, Master Zhang stopped and turned to apologize, "I'm truly sorry to you, Boss Shui, Boss Li. I really didn't expect him to do something like this."
"Do you know what the problem is with these stones?"
"There's flour hidden inside them. What do you think the problem is?" Li Yang said.
If it were just flour eaten in daily life, it would at most be a fake product. Why would the public security team investigate?
Then what kind of flour was it, that any adult would almost certainly understand.
Master Zhang immediately understood, and his expression changed greatly, "You mean that flour?"
"Yes," Li Yang nodded.
Master Zhang was instantly furious and slapped his eldest nephew hard, "You dare to touch this kind of thing! This is something that can kill people. Can you live with this money, can you be at ease with your conscience?"
"You damned dog, you're going to break the backbone of our Zhang family!"
"I'll beat you to death, I'll beat you to death, you dog!"
"Ah! Spare me, Uncle, spare me. I didn't know this was inside. Really, if I had known earlier, I would never have dared to do such a thing!" The eldest nephew was terrified and quickly knelt down.
Li Yang said, "Alright, Master Zhang, looking at him, he probably really didn't know what was going on."
"How can that be? This little brat almost got you killed. I can't just let him off!" Master Zhang was furious and delivered a few more slaps and kicks.
Li Yang grabbed his hand and said, "As the saying goes, it's never too late to mend. How about this, you stop hitting him, and let your nephew do something for me."
"Boss Li, please tell me, I'll do anything for you!" the eldest nephew said hurriedly.
He knew what his uncle was like. If no one stopped him, he would definitely beat him to death!
Moreover, now that he knew it was that kind of flour, he was also terrified and wanted to atone for his sins.
Li Yang pulled him up from the ground and said in a low voice, "This matter is difficult for others, but it should be simple for you."
"You're the one who plotted against us. You'll take these stones to him later."
"This, this!" The eldest nephew's heart pounded.
Li Yang said, "What, you can't do it?"
"No, it's just..."
"Then go do it," Li Yang said. "As long as you succeed, we'll forget about this matter, and I can give you another hundred thousand."
"Think about it, the person who asked you to do this is not a good person. You're just returning it to him, back to the original owner. It's not doing anything bad, right?"
"This, fine, I'll listen to you." The eldest nephew gritted his teeth and agreed.
Li Yang smiled and patted his shoulder, "Alright, I'll be waiting for your good news."
"Don't worry, the person who asked me to do this before is named Zhao De, the owner of Yuhuang Gemstone Market. When he asked me to do this, he had me go to his house, and I remember the way. I guarantee I can get it done without anyone noticing."
"Alright, go ahead," Li Yang nodded.
"Yes, Boss Li."
He immediately took the smaller stones and drove to Zhao De's house.
Li Yang was not surprised at all that Zhao De was the mastermind behind this matter.
Watching him drive away, Li Yang turned back and clapped his hands, "Alright, this matter ends here. Everyone, continue with your work."
"Boss Li, I'm truly sorry," Master Zhang said apologetically. "If I had known he was this kind of person, I would never have let him transport the goods."
"It's alright, Master Zhang. This matter is over. Can we not mention it?" Li Yang said, shaking his head.
Master Zhang said gratefully, "Thank you, thank you."
If anyone else had encountered such a situation, they would have probably called the police to have his eldest nephew arrested and reported him to the freight company, which would have ruined his career.
He immediately joined the ranks of the movers. Afterwards, he didn't ask for any money and left with his cousin.
"I really didn't expect Zhao De to be so insidious and despicable, to have people attack us like this," Shui Xiang said, looking into the distance, feeling a chill of fear.
Li Yang said, "In the future, the surveillance in the warehouse must be properly arranged, and such things must not be allowed into the warehouse. Also, it's best to install surveillance equipment in the transport truck compartments, and the entry and exit of every stone must be clear."
"Otherwise, if something like this happens again, it will be difficult to handle."
"Yes, I'll listen to you," Shui Xiang nodded. "Manager Fang, this matter of warehouse surveillance is entrusted to you."
"As for the truck compartments, I'll talk to Master Zhang later. We can't stop using his truck just because of his nephew's mistake."
"This way it will be safe," Li Yang nodded.
Shui Xiang hugged his arm and laughed, "The safest thing is to have you by my side. Thanks to you, I was able to turn misfortune into good fortune."
"Then shouldn't you thank me properly?" Li Yang joked.
Shui Xiang smiled, "Didn't I say that tonight, I'll invite you to my place for dinner?"
"Does that count as one thing?" Li Yang smiled, holding her hand, and said, "Forget it, it's getting late. Don't keep your uncle waiting. Let's go quickly."
"Okay," Shui Xiang nodded.
Manager Fang watched them get into the car, feeling a bit confused. It was strange, why were they so close now when they didn't even send Boss Li that night?
Could it be that they had already become a couple?
