Chapter 185 Unexpected Gain (Part )

"..."

Looking at Amy, whose smile froze on her face and then unconsciously reached out to touch her chest, Leon's mouth twitched suddenly and his toes started to scratch instinctively.

In order to avoid any more fatal remarks from the inner room, which would push the embarrassment to a new peak, Leon quickly stood up, opened the door of his room, and took the initiative to invite:

"How about...let's talk in my room?"

"OK……"

After hearing Leon's invitation, the baby-faced girl, with a slightly flushed face, nodded quickly, then picked up the bag again and followed Leon into his room.

After Leon slammed the door shut, blocking out a series of embarrassing keywords such as "papaya soup", "size", "sister-in-law", etc., Amy breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Leon a little embarrassedly.
“Mr. Lyon, I came here this time because I actually wanted to invite you to my house. You saved me from the Masaini family and you are a great benefactor to our family. My parents both want to meet you!
If Mom wasn't ill and Dad needed to take care of her and maintain the company, they would have come with me this time. Please believe us, we really just want to thank you!"

“Um…I’m sorry.”

Looking at Amy who was staring at him without blinking, with so much sincerity that it was almost overflowing, Leon thought for a while and finally refused:

"I'm not refusing to be your guest, but I've been really busy with work lately. I may not even go home at night. After talking to Anna for a few minutes, I have to rush back to the bureau. I really can't spare the time recently."

"Okay then...excuse me."

After going to the door to invite sincerely but being rejected again, the baby-faced girl couldn't help but lower her head slightly, with a deep disappointment in her eyes.

After clenching her fists unwillingly, she did not continue to pester him and try to change Leon's mind. Instead, she raised her head again and asked expectantly:
"Mr. Lyon, is there anything I can help you with in your work? Ah! Please don't get me wrong, I'm not forcing you to come to my house.

But... since you are not convenient recently and cannot accept our family's gratitude in person, then at least let me help you do something within my ability and give us a chance to express our gratitude to you, is that okay?"

"This one……"

Seeing the baby-faced girl who was very humble and had big watery eyes full of sincerity, Leon felt it was hard to refuse her kindness. After hesitating for a moment, he spoke:

"Recently our bureau has been keeping an eye on the rebels, but it's very hard to track them down, and the Secret Investigation Bureau of the Ministry of Police doesn't have any clues either. If your family has any ideas, could you help me keep an eye on them?
Um...but remember not to do anything else, just pay attention, those rebels have something you can't resist."

A member of a rebel party?

After hearing Leon’s words, Amy blinked her eyes, as if she remembered something.

After a slight hesitation, she said softly:
“As for the rebels… our department store had some connection with them in the past. If you want to find them, Mr. Leon, maybe we can really help.”

Ah, this... there is actually an unexpected gain?
After raising his eyebrows in surprise, Leon, who was originally preparing to send the guest away as soon as possible, took a deep breath, then asked her to sit on the only bed in the room, and moved a small stool to sit opposite her, and asked seriously:
"Miss Amy, could you please be more specific?"

"Ah? Okay!" Looking at Leon, who was sitting opposite her with a serious expression and a pair of bright and lively eyes, staring at her closely, the baby-faced girl felt a little nervous for some reason, as if no place for her hands and feet seemed to be inappropriate.

Mr. Lyon... is truly a capable and reliable man.

Looking at Leon in front of her, who had a calm expression and focused eyes, even though his clothes were cheap, he still had a strange temperament that could not be ignored. Amy couldn't help but bite her lower lip slightly with admiration, and then began to narrate:

“Mr. Leon, our family owns the largest department store in the capital. You should know this, right?”

“Yes, and the price is the lowest.”

“Yes, and in addition to being the largest, with the lowest prices and the widest distribution of stores, our department store also has the most complete range of goods.

As the vice president of the Chamber of Commerce, my father has a good relationship with the House of Commons and several departments, and has obtained the sales qualifications for almost all categories of goods. Before the capital banned all guns, he even sold a small amount of several small firearms with greatly reduced range..."

After briefly explaining the characteristics of Charles Department Store, the baby-faced girl tried to recall:
"Just before the capital's decree on the total gun ban was implemented, someone took advantage of the fact that our department store had not yet removed the guns from the shelves and purchased nearly a hundred civilian nail guns in batches from more than a dozen stores.

My father was worried that these people would use these weapons to do things that would affect our Charles Department Store, so he tried to investigate. He was shocked to find that in addition to these guns, these suspicious people had been doing business with our family for many years.

How many years of business?

Lyon frowned and said:
"Are these people the rioters? Do you mean they bought a lot of nail guns at your Charles Department Store?"

“There aren’t many nail guns.”

Amy shook her head and said:
“My father was very cautious. Even though the profit from selling guns was decent, he never sold them on a large scale. He only kept a few counters in some stores where the situation was stable.

What those people actually buy in large quantities are various common items, such as seasonal clothing, oil, salt, sugar, wine, quilts, blankets, food utensils, etc.

And it’s not just once or twice, it’s a long-term and continuous hidden purchase, clothes and other things twice a year, oil and salt and other things once to two months, and fresh food is bought in large quantities every week.”

After telling about Old Charles’ discovery, Amy, who was sitting on the bed, looked at Leon who seemed to have realized something and said:

"Until now, these people have not stopped buying. My father counted the amount of these supplies and found that they could support about 700 to 800 people in their normal lives. In the most recent six months, the amount even reached 1,000 people.

The scary thing is that these nearly a thousand people never attracted any attention. If they hadn't suddenly purchased a large number of nail guns before the gun ban, which caught my father's attention, no one would have been able to discover their existence.

After discovering the anomaly, my father did not have in-depth contact with them for the sake of caution, but after comparing the news about the rebels' activities with the changes in their material consumption, he still guessed the identity of this group of people."
