353: Chapter 353: Undetectable, Really Undetectable 353: Chapter 353: Undetectable, Really Undetectable After thinking it over, Zhao Guang continued, “I need to keep increasing my stockpile of the goods I need.
I still feel like there isn’t enough.”
“Even that’s not enough?
You really are sothing else.
Fine, I’ll prepare it for you.
But don’t create too much of a stir.
If the grain prices fluctuate because of you, the higher-ups are definitely going to inquire.”
During this ti, quite a bit of grain was purchased, and in large batches at that.
It’s impossible for it not to have an impact.
Zhao Guang said nonchalantly, “It’s okay, we’re not planning on hoarding to drive up prices.
If it really becos an issue, just contact the grain warehouses and have them sell the old stock to us.”
Zhao Yan nodded her head; she had already done so.
Otherwise, how could she have acquired so much grain so quickly?
If it had all been purchased from the market, by now, there would probably be an investigation into their activities.
“By the way, Xu Mo called us.
He said that the goods you wanted are ready for you.”
“Is that so?
I indeed haven’t been able to go there recently.
Find soone to ship them back for .
I’ll give you the address.
As for the paynt, just leave it at that warehouse; let him fetch it himself.”
“Speaking of which, what exactly did you buy?
It better not be sothing illegal.”
“Don’t worry, it’s not what you’re thinking.
How could I possibly bring those things ho?
It’s just so painkillers.”
“Painkillers?
What do you need those for, and you’re even sending them dostically?”
“Rest assured, they’re not for use in our country.
I have so special research that requires these dications.
However, these painkillers indeed contain so banned substances, so it’s best not to let people know about it.”
After pausing, Zhao Guang added, “If people do find out about it, just contact the authorities and have them inspect them.
Although these substances are contraband, they don’t cause much harm and should be able to pass inspection.”
That’s the advantage of having connections—even if those connections are established and maintained through Gold.
Now, with his own farms added into the mix, he also held sway over so people’s lifelines.
“I understand, but you better not get involved with any ssy stuff.
Even if the authorities forgive you, your sister certainly won’t.”
Zhao Guang rolled his eyes, “Just relax, if I really did sothing like that, I wouldn’t be able to forgive myself.”
The education he had received from a young age made him absolutely abhor those illegal substances.
Just that he never expected one excuse would require so many others to cover it up.
Truly troubleso.
After hanging up the call, Zhao Guang carried on with his research, all the while waiting for others to continue reporting back to him.
At another location, the group of old n gathered once again.
“Elder Ye, why have you called us over so late?”
Elder Ye yawned in helplessness, “What else could it be, if not that kid?
He said he’s brought over so painkillers from the South, and I’m planning to have them inspected, just in case sothing indeed ca in.”
Because Zhao Yan was with Elder Ye’s granddaughter, the responsibility of dealing with this matter was defaulted to Elder Ye.
The transport of contraband substances would have drawn direct intervention from others had Elder Ye not been holding on to so five-striped pork—a valuable commodity.
So things truly cannot be condoned, not even slightly.
Of course, they also believed that Zhao Guang wouldn’t do such things.
The money earned from those few substances was nothing compared to what Zhao Guang could earn now.
Many people talk about the lucrative drug trade, but it’s not easy to scale up.
If you can’t scale that business, compared to Zhao Guang’s gemstone business, it’s like heaven and earth.
No one could believe that Zhao Guang would do sothing as foolish as picking sesa seeds and losing waterlons.
Besides, in legal business, the profits from five-striped pigs were coming in faster than robbery.
Unless he was specifically seeking a thrill, Zhao Guang would have to be crazy or stupid to engage in such acts.
The old heads here were all shrewd; they understood the implications imdiately upon hearing this.
“And another thing, Lao Xu, have you found anything on your end?”
Elder Xu sat down, grumpy, “I’ve been the busiest lately, and now you’re still asking to investigate.”
“Isn’t that because the capable are given more tasks?
You’re closest to the matter, and many things can’t be investigated without going through you,” Elder Ye stepped forward and poured a cup of tea for Elder Xu, causing him to roll his eyes.
“Enough with the pretense.
I haven’t found anything, and I’m not trying to brush you off.
There’s really no trace at all.
I have no idea how this kid does it—be it Gold or the five-striped pork, their arrival was baffling.”
Indeed, the higher-ups had always wanted clarity on the channels through which Zhao Guang’s goods ca, but they could never find it.
“Nothing at all?
What about Lao Bai, have you found anything?”
“I haven’t found anything either.
We got our hands on so Amber and after testing, found out they were ford during the Triassic period.
But we can’t locate the source.
We did find an insect encased in one piece of Amber though.”
“After our experts’ analysis, we discovered that this insect has never been seen before.
Honestly, we can’t trace the origin through these Ambers.
I think they must have been selectively screened before being brought to us.”
Thinking of Zhao Guang’s cautious style, it was really headache-inducing for these old folks.
With such a disposition, it was a waste he wasn’t a spy.
“Alright, since we can’t figure it out, let’s discuss our plans for this operation.
This ti, we intend to trace the vines to their roots, find the place that provides these dications, and then delve in for a direct investigation.”
“But is that useful?
They’re just painkillers after all.”
“At the end of the day, the kid is cooperating with soone, and of course, it’s easier to work with those who are physically or relationally closer.
We should be able to uncover sothing, right?”
Elder Ye himself had no choice.
If they could find any clues, they wouldn’t need to go to such lengths.
So the old n started discussing amongst themselves.
If Zhao Guang knew, he would be utterly shocked to find out that his recent call with his sister was already known to these people.
It was unclear whether phone surveillance or a spy inside was the issue.
It was unsurprising to Zhao Guang that the higher-ups had placed insiders in his company.
One night, many people couldn’t sleep, all busy with their tasks.
As for Zhao Guang, after dealing with matters in the first half of the night, he slept quite well in the Otherworld, being in good company.
It was just because of those matters that he went to sleep in the wee hours.
Fortunately, with Zhao Guang’s current spiritual power, a little rest was all he needed for a full recovery.
