Chapter 600 Inquiring about the Origin of the Pill
In this black market, the word "credit" is like a golden signboard. Once an agreement is made, Wang Jianguo is determined to keep it to the end.
What's more, these fifty big black tens were just a piece of cake for him, but he knew very well that without the man's guidance, he would not be able to buy the life-saving pills smoothly, let alone save other people's lives.
As soon as the man saw the money Wang Jianguo handed over, his eyes widened instantly, and the light of joy in his heart could not be hidden in the depths of his eyes.
After all, in this black market where all kinds of people gather, most people are haggling over petty profits and engaging in intrigue and deception. It is rare to find someone like Wang Jianguo who is generous and keeps his word.
He was so excited that his hands were shaking slightly. He couldn't wait to take the money happily. Then he counted the bills one by one happily like a child who got his favorite toy.
His fingers gently slid across the banknotes, and the smile on his face grew brighter with each count.
It seemed as if he was not counting money, but the surprises that fell from the sky, his heart full of joy of harvest.
Wang Jianguo stood quietly aside, looking at the man's beaming with joy, thinking to himself that this was a perfect opportunity to get closer to them and he must not let it go.
He slightly adjusted his posture to make himself look more approachable, then put on a friendly smile and asked while the iron was hot:
"Brother, you see, although we have not been together for a long time, we can be said to have shared joys and sorrows. My name is Wang Jianguo, and we have known each other for a while, but I still don't know your name. If you don't mind, tell me about it."
Wang Jianguo's tone was gentle and sincere, as if he was greeting an old friend he hadn't seen for many years, trying to break the remaining sense of strangeness between them.
The man was now immersed in the great joy of gaining money, holding tightly in his hands the hard-earned big black tens.
His fingers were still gently turning the banknotes, counting them carefully one by one, muttering to himself, as if he was afraid of counting even one wrong.
When he heard Wang Jianguo's question, he was stunned for a moment, paused for a moment, raised his head, moved his eyes away from the banknotes, and looked at Wang Jianguo.
There was still the excitement and satisfaction of counting money in his eyes. After a while, he finally reacted, grinned, showing a mouthful of slightly yellow teeth, and answered enthusiastically:
"As for me, my name is Yang Huaixi. I'm just a small-time guy trying to make a living in the black market. If you feel comfortable with that, you can just call me Xizi. If you have any problems in the future, just come to me!"
When saying this, Yang Huaixi's tone was full of boldness, as if in this black market, he had already regarded Wang Jianguo as a trustworthy person, and had completely forgotten that the fate between them was originally just a transaction.
Wang Jianguo stood in the dimly lit alley filled with a damp atmosphere and nodded slightly.
The expression on his face showed both emotion for the thrilling transaction that had just ended, and a bit of admiration for the two people in front of him.
He paused for a moment, as if he was choosing his words, and then he said:
"Brother Xizi, your brother Dou'er is not a simple person."
As he spoke, Wang Jianguo raised his head slightly and looked towards the dark night sky in the distance, as if he was lost in memories.
"Take today's incident for example. The origin of this medicine is not small. In order to find it, I asked around and went to countless places and asked countless people, but they all said that this medicine is hard to find."
"The production process is more complicated than one could imagine, requiring exquisite skills and rare materials. But your brother, at such a young age, looks like a child, but he managed to make such a difficult medicine."
As Wang Jianguo spoke, he kept shaking his head in admiration, with surprise and admiration flashing in his eyes.
"You two brothers are both talented. To survive in this black market, you need some real skills. Just for this reason, I admire you from the bottom of my heart."
Yang Huaixi was happily counting the money in his hand, but when he heard Wang Jianguo's words, he suddenly stopped counting the money. The smile on his face disappeared instantly, replaced by a look of caution and vigilance.
He quickly stuffed the money in his hand into his arms and hid it, as if he was afraid that Wang Jianguo would suddenly become malicious and rob the money.
Then, he narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at Wang Jianguo with a sharp gaze, as if his eyes were going to penetrate his body and probe deep into his heart. His voice became low and serious:
"Who told you that this medicine was made by my brother? Did he say so himself?"
Yang Huaixi knew clearly that in this black market, the source of medicines was a matter of life and death. If too many details were known to others, it would definitely cause trouble.
On the one hand, producing banned drugs is a serious crime. Once the news leaks out and law enforcement officers arrive, the two brothers will be in big trouble.
On the other hand, if colleagues knew that Dou'er had such great skills in making medicines, they would inevitably become jealous and would secretly trip him up or even try to steal the secret recipe, which would cause endless trouble.
Therefore, even when facing Wang Jianguo, who had just completed a transaction and seemed quite friendly, Yang Huaixi did not dare to be careless and had to get to the bottom of the source.
Wang Jianguo was slightly startled, a trace of surprise flashed across his face, and he quickly shook his head and waved his hand to explain:
"That's not the case, Brother Xizi, please don't misunderstand me."
He paused slightly and looked at Yang Huaixi sincerely, as if he wanted the other party to truly feel the credibility of his words.
"To be honest, today I saw your brother Dou'er fiddling with those bottles and jars, as well as the microscopes and distillation towers in the room. It was obvious that he was a professional in pharmaceutical research."
"Plus, this medicine is extremely rare and can hardly be found on the market. I was thinking that the only person who could come up with this thing is Dou'er."
"But this is just my own speculation. I have no other intentions, and I don't intend to pry into your privacy."
As Wang Jianguo spoke, he paid attention to the changes in Yang Huaixi's expression, and his tone was somewhat cautious.
Yang Huaixi's already tense face now looked even gloomier than before. His displeasure was evident in his words. His brows were tightly furrowed into the shape of a "川" character, and his eyes showed obvious dissatisfaction and vigilance.
After listening to Wang Jianguo's explanation, he snorted coldly and said in a stiff tone:
"We agreed that I won't ask about you and you don't ask about us. This is the rule of the black market."
In this black market, there are all kinds of people, and the forces of various parties are intertwined. Everyone has their own secrets and purposes. If you are not careful, you may fall into an irretrievable situation.
