Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 2801: Chapter 2737: Deliveries Suspended

Sounds like he really is quite unremarkable in appearance.

"Also, his accent doesn’t sound like it’s from Pingzhou, more like it’s from the north, and it’s quite heavy too. So I suspect Pingzhou isn’t really his primary area of activity."

Zhu Shun started analyzing with Jiang Xiao.

Although Zhu Shun met Boss Du, he didn’t go out of his way to talk to him, instead, he helped Da Long drink quite a lot.

Even though Boss Du is unremarkable in appearance, the sharpness in his small eyes makes him hard to underestimate.

During the whole process, he only said a few words, then sat at the head of the table drinking, watching here and there, and finally just left.

"Does he have a bit of a mysterious demeanor?" Jiang Xiao asked.

"A bit, but to me, it seems like he’s just putting on a show."

"What do you mean by ’putting on a show’?"

"It means Boss Du isn’t actually the biggest fish among these people; there should be someone above him. So his authority seems a bit inflated and fake, probably because he often flattered others in normal times."

Is there such an analysis?

Jiang Xiao couldn’t help but laugh upon hearing this.

She suddenly felt that Zhu Shun’s eyes were indeed very sharp, always able to find a fresh perspective on things.

But it actually sounded quite reasonable.

"Did he say anything about what he wants to do this time? Did he issue any orders?"

"Yes," Zhu Shun said, "He mentioned a few things. He told his people to keep a low profile lately and, also, notified all locations to halt deliveries."

Zhu Shun paused for a moment, then continued: "Sister-in-law, let me tell you, the goods Boss Du mentioned for delivery... I felt something was odd."

Jiang Xiao was taken aback.

"What do you mean by odd? What kind of goods are they delivering?"

"When he mentioned delivery, the expressions of a few people close to him were quite strange. I can’t really say, but later I asked Da Long what kind of goods they were delivering. Da Long said it’s some fabric and yarn. But, why would fabric and yarn deliveries be paused lately? First, there hasn’t been any heavy rain or humid weather in Pingzhou lately; second, there’s no talk that these things are saturated in the market. So, after hearing it’s these things, I investigated everywhere. Therefore, if they are truly shipping these goods, there’s no need to halt deliveries."

Jiang Xiao thought Zhu Shun’s analysis made a lot of sense.

"What do you think the goods might be then, Brother Shun?"

"It must be something illicit. So let me tell you first, I’m going to investigate what exactly Boss Du and his people are up to, what goods they’re actually delivering, and who will receive them once they arrive. You keep waiting for my updates."

"Brother Shun, be careful."

"Yes, yes, hanging up."

"Don’t rush too much..."

Before Jiang Xiao could finish her sentence, Zhu Shun had already hung up.

She held the phone, unable to help but shake her head and chuckle bitterly.

It seems Zhu Shun really came to report to her, finished saying everything, and then hung up.

She didn’t know whether he could uncover Boss Du’s details, but right now, it does seem there’s been significant progress.

After putting down the phone, Jiang Xiao rested for a while and returned to school for classes.

But, what she didn’t expect was that this time, Hu Xiangyong and his group targeted Liu Guoying!

Yes, after returning to class, Jiang Xiao discovered that the class Liu Guoying was supposed to teach, he was unexpectedly absent without reason.

The whole class thought he was delayed by something, so they sat in the classroom waiting for a full twenty minutes.

Twenty minutes later, Jiang Xiao realized something was wrong.
