Chapter 592 Wrong person?
Chapter 592 Wrong person?
The man was pretending to be calm at first, but when his eyes fell on the stack of black tens that Wang Jianguo showed, a hint of unconcealable surprise flashed across his eyes. He was obviously shocked by Wang Jianguo's wealth and majesty.
After a brief hesitation, he seemed to have made up his mind and slowly stood up. His movement was not smooth, and it was obvious that he was still on guard.
His body was slightly hunched, like a wild beast accustomed to lurking in the dark. Even when ready to attack, he would not forget to retreat to a safe area at any time.
Then, he walked slowly but deliberately lightly, and gradually approached Wang Jianguo. As he approached, he kept his eyes vigilantly scanning the surroundings to ensure that there were no potential threats.
After he stood still, he finally let down his guard and slowly grasped the front of his baggy clothes with both hands. His fingers trembled slightly, as if he was nervous, and seemed to be both looking forward to and worried about the upcoming transaction.
As he shook his wrist lightly, the clothes that were originally loosely wrapped around his body suddenly opened up, as if drawing open a curtain leading to a mysterious treasure house.
Wang Jianguo took a closer look and saw that there was something else inside the man's clothes. Small and exquisite glass bottles were arranged in an orderly manner.
The bottle glowed faintly in the dim light, and the liquids inside were of different colors, some turbid, some clear, and mysterious.
There were also bags of objects wrapped in rough paper, which were bulging. Through the gaps, one could vaguely see that they were filled with medicine powders and pills of varying degrees of fineness.
The pills come in various shapes and sizes, and emit a faint, strange smell that is a mixture of herbs and chemicals.
From the packaging and appearance of these drugs, it is obvious that they are not obtained through regular channels and are obviously from some secret source.
The man raised his chin slightly, his eyes showing a bit of shrewdness and cunning, and said to Wang Jianguo:
"Brother, looking at your moves, I know you are no amateur. We are all in the black market, and you know the rules of the black market. Don't ask where you came from, just tell me what you want to do."
He deliberately emphasized the words "don't ask where I came from", his tone was both a warning and a test of Wang Jianguo's bottom line. After a pause, he continued:
"As long as you pay, I have everything, from rare medicinal herbs to folk remedies, I guarantee you'll be satisfied. But we have to make it clear that the money and goods are clear. If you commit a crime in the future, I won't admit it."
At the end, his eyes became increasingly stern, as if emphasizing the seriousness and independence of this transaction. Once it was completed, they would be like strangers who owed nothing to each other, and would go their separate ways without any subsequent disputes.
Wang Jianguo thought to himself that although this man's words were ruthless, he urgently needed medicine to save people and could not care about all the rules and risks.
He nodded slightly, remaining calm on the surface, but in his mind he was rapidly calculating how to use the limited funds to buy the most needed medicines.
At the same time, they ensured that the transaction was completed smoothly without causing any other trouble. This black market transaction was like a tightrope walking performance.
If he is not careful, he will fall into an abyss from which there is no return, but for the sake of that glimmer of hope, Wang Jianguo can only muster up his courage and face the challenge.
Wang Jianguo narrowed his eyes slightly, and his gaze, like a sophisticated detector, scanned the pile of mysterious bottles and jars in the arms of the man in front of him inch by inch.
The dim light flickered in the humid air of the black market, casting mottled shadows on the glass bottles, making the various powders and pills inside even more bizarre and difficult to distinguish.
Wang Jianguo's brows gradually twisted into a deep "川" shape, and his eyes were full of disappointment and determination.
He shook his head slowly, his movement was neither hurried nor slow, but it seemed to carry a great force, breaking the brief silence between the two of them, and then he spoke:
"I don't need any of these. Although I came to this black market to look for medicine, I know clearly what I should and shouldn't do. I don't want things that can harm people. I want to save people."
His voice was low and firm, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth. In this noisy corner of the black market, there was an unquestionable power.
When the man heard this, a look of surprise flashed across his face, as if he had never expected to get such an answer.
He opened his mouth slightly, his eyes wide open, and stared straight at Wang Jianguo, as if he wanted to see through him and find out what the hidden secret was behind his words.
After being stunned for a moment, he came back to his senses, scratched his head in confusion, and said with a bit of confusion and curiosity in his tone:
"Saving people? I don't have that. My job is to do something like..."
At this point, he suddenly realized something and stopped abruptly. A trace of vigilance flashed in his eyes, fearing that he would reveal some secrets by talking too much.
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Jianguo seemed to have expected this result. He turned around and left without any hesitation.
The resolute back seemed to tell of his inner anxiety and disappointment. His hurried footsteps raised a light cloud of dust.
The man panicked when he saw this. He didn't want to let go of a potential big client so easily, especially in this black market where business was already difficult. If he missed a deal, he didn't know when he would be able to get another one.
So, he rushed forward and stretched out his hand to tightly grab the corner of Wang Jianguo's clothes, with a flattering smile on his face and his words full of urgency and retention:
"Hey, brother, don't be anxious. I don't have it, but my brother does. It's just...it's just..."
As he spoke, he looked around in panic, as if hesitating whether to say the rest of the words or not. He was also worried that there were some dangers hidden around him. His hesitant look aroused Wang Jianguo's curiosity even more.
The man rubbed the corners of his clothes unconsciously with his hands. His fingers turned slightly white due to the force, and a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, gleaming in the dim light.
His mouth opened slightly, then closed again, as if something was stuck in his throat. He looked extremely embarrassed as he wanted to say something but stopped.
Every time I tried to speak, I seemed to be pulled back by an invisible force, and could only utter some unclear syllables.
From time to time, his eyes would quickly glance towards Wang Jianguo's arms, and his gaze was like iron filings attracted by a magnet, full of greed and entanglement that was difficult to conceal.
Wang Jianguo took in all the man's small movements, and his mind was as clear as a mirror, so he naturally understood what the man was planning.
The corners of his mouth lifted slightly, revealing a faint smile, which showed both insight into the man's thoughts and a bit of confidence in controlling the situation.
