342, June 12th, 9:00 AM.
After escorting the women with their memories altered to Song Pinxuan’s laboratory and handing them over to the female team members arranged by Lin Xi, Tang Li returned home for a nap.
It wasn't a long sleep, less than 4 hours.
Upon waking, Tang Li disguised herself and went to the black market.
She hadn't visited the black market for yesterday's mission but had informed her regular clients in advance.
However, she couldn't skip it again today, or those needing supplies would grow impatient.
The routine remained the same.
Tang Li first appeared as "Boss Li," her middle-aged burly man disguise, and delivered a truckload of materials needed by Song Pinxuan.
Then, switching to a pickup truck, she transported the goods agreed upon with clients as the "Universal Merchant" to the underground garage, completed the transactions, delivered today's appliances to the black market appliance store, collected yesterday's earnings, and as usual, browsed the black market, arranging trades with those in need of supplies.
Finally, she changed into her young man disguise, driving a van to deliver today's water resources to the shops selling water in the black market.
Just as she was about to leave, the situation took a drastic turn.
A group of heavily armed personnel suddenly stormed into the black market, and outside, it was surrounded by official armed forces.
"Everyone stay put! Do not move around!"
These individuals, holding guns, pointed them at the people in the black market, and everyone dared not make a move.
Tang Li also retreated into the water selling shop.
However, these armed personnel did not harm the ordinary merchants and customers in the black market, but instead, they rushed directly towards the center.
The black market staff maintaining order in the underworld and the human realm did not dare to act.
The black market fell into silence.
But soon, this silence was broken again.
Da da da!
Bang! Bang!
Boom…
From upstairs, fierce gunfire erupted.
After a while, the exchange of fire gradually subsided, and the black market fell silent once more.
Tang Li remained in the water selling shop, and over an hour passed.
Only then did official personnel begin to enter the shops one by one to inspect the goods being sold.
Several official personnel also entered the water selling shop.
"Well, these are scarce strategic resources! Boss, you must be making a lot of money, right?"
Upon seeing the shop, which specialized in selling water, the officials were quite surprised.
After all, water resources were extremely scarce now, and even the officials didn't have enough to distribute. They hadn't expected anyone to be willing to sell so much, let alone to sell it.
The shop owner quickly explained, "I'm just selling these on consignment for someone else, only earning a commission."
"Is that so? And who are you selling them for?"
Hearing this question, the shop owner glanced at Tang Li, but still said to the officials, "The other party refused to reveal their identity, and we don't know who they are."
The officials, seeing this, also noticed Tang Li.
However, they didn't ask further and said to the people behind them, "Let's test the water quality first."
Turning back, they asked, "Boss, is this water unpolluted? Selling water contaminated with Delta particles is punishable by being sent to build underground cities!"
The shop owner hurriedly replied, "No, no, absolutely not!"
Before the young man Tang Li disguised as arrived, he had indeed sold water contaminated with Delta particles.
But ever since the young man Tang Li disguised as had come, he had only sold unpolluted water.
Especially now, he couldn't even get contaminated water.
The water sold in the shop was all delivered by Tang Li.
There was bottled and canned mineral water, bottled purified water, tap water in plastic barrels, and ice cubes in insulated cups.
The water quality tests revealed no radiation contamination, meeting all standards.
The officials then said to the shop owner, "These water resources have been requisitioned by us. We will compensate you according to the requisition standards."
After speaking, they glanced at Tang Li and moved on to the next shop.
The shop owner then approached Tang Li, stammering, "Little Tian brother, what about this..."
"You can have all this compensation, Boss, consider it my gratitude for your discretion," Tang Li said.
The shop owner's face immediately bloomed into a smile, "Little Tian brother, you're so generous!"
Until she left the black market, Tang Li remained puzzled.
Upon returning home, she finally understood what had happened.
