1136: Chapter 1136: Trial Operation (7) 1136: Chapter 1136: Trial Operation (7) Gu Qingheng then remembered Gu Yao and quickly told Yang Ruxin about the Ge familyâs grandparent and grandchild before looking towards Erni, âDonât worry, heâll probably be back the day after tomorrow.â
Erni then felt relieved.
âDo you mean that old man can grow chili peppers?â Yang Ruxin got excited upon hearing this, grabbing Gu Qinghengâs arm.
âYes, he normally grows them in pots to sell, but unfortunately, business hasnât been good.â Gu Qingheng took the opportunity to hold Yang Ruxinâs hand, âOriginally the old man didnât want to come because he was afraid of being deceived.
Then on the way here, his grandson was almost kidnappedâŠâ
âKidnap children?â Yang Ruxin frowned.
âYes.â Gu Qinghengâs brow furrowed, âAccording to old man Ge, many children have gone missing in that area.
Eventually, we caught those two men, but they were suicidersâŠâ
âCould it be related to the news Weng Xin brought out?â
Gu Qingheng nodded, âItâs definitely related.â He paused, âFortunately, one died, and we captured the other oneâŠ
We should be able to interrogate him for some informationâŠâ
âThat one didnât die?â Yang Ruxinâs eyes lit up.
Gu Qingheng nodded, âWe also have to thank Xiaohei and his wife, who knocked one out before he had the chance to bite into the poison capsuleâŠâ
âThen you go ahead with the interrogation.
If you canât get anything out of him, let me tryâŠâ Yang Ruxin smiled slyly, âThe old man has researched many things that havenât been tested on humans yet.â Suddenly she recalled something, âI wonder how that thing I gave to the young master of the Shen Family last time worked outâŠ
Gu Qingheng, why donât you find someone to inquire about itâŠâ
Gu Qingheng nodded, âShadow Five, go.â
Shadow Five immediately responded and left.
âIâm very eager to witness the effect of the old manâs things with my own eyes.â Yang Ruxin stroked her chin.
Gu Qingheng thought to himself, maybe I just wonât interrogate and let Xinxin handle it; keeping my wife happy is what matters most.
Life went back to normal just like that.
On the eleventh day of the first lunar month, early in the morning, Yang Ruxin and Gu Qingheng went to the county town together.
First, they took Yang Baixiang and his wife to the Pancake Fruit Shop near the academy and opened for business without much fanfare or ceremony.
The opening was low-key.
But the general goods store was differentâthey had Qian Er and the others distribute flyers a few days in advance.
It was a soft opening that would last until the fifteenth of the first lunar month.
After the official opening on the sixteenth, many new products would be added.
âSister, youâre really something.â Yu Qingge said as she and Fang Tianze, representing the Fang Family, came to congratulate her, âYou even opened a self-service supermarketâŠ
Even if I thought of it, I wouldnât dareâŠâ
âActually, ancient people are quite open to accepting new things.â Yang Ruxin smiled, âBut whatever you want to do, you still need to find a backerâŠ
Do you know who Iâm collaborating with for this shop?â
Yu Qingge shook her head.
âPrince Eight.â Yang Ruxin raised her eyebrows slightly.
âSure enough, youâre the leading lady and Iâm just an extra,â Yu Qingge sighed.
âEnough with the pretense, extras have their perks too, right?â Yang Ruxin rolled her eyes at Yu Qingge, then glanced over to Fang Tianze not far away, âHowâs your progress with him?â
âNot bad.â Yu Qingge touched her chin, âThat guy is actually a warm-hearted man, I guess Iâll just make do and take himâŠâ
âReaping the benefits and still playing coy,â Yang Ruxin poked the young girlâs head.
Yu Qingge just laughed.
âDani?â Just then, someone came in, and upon seeing Yang Ruxin, showed a look of surprise, âWhat are you doing here?â
