Could a one-of-a-kind gold ingot be worth the same as one you can find plenty of?

The nature of the value is completely different…

Just as Xiao Yingchun got out of the car and opened the shop door, someone walked in—it turned out to be Ye Yubin.

Ye Yubin was still wearing a T-shirt, baggy shorts, and flip-flops, but his expression was frighteningly stern. “Little Xiao, the man who just brought you back—who is he?”

Xiao Yingchun was so startled she nearly dropped the sports bag in her hands!
When she realized it was Ye Yubin, she patted her chest and let out a huge breath. “Uncle Ye, you nearly scared me to death!”

Ye Yubin didn’t say a word. His eyes bored straight into her, as if declaring: If you don’t tell me, I won’t let this go.

Xiao Yingchun, moved yet nervous at the same time, thought: There’s no way she could let Ye Yubin find out about her selling the gold ingot.

She thought for a moment, then decided to be honest, “That’s Grandpa Zhao’s grandson.”

“Zhao Jiping?”

Xiao Yingchun nodded.

Ye Yubin clearly hadn’t expected that. After a moment of thought, he asked again, “And what does his grandson do?”

Xiao Yingchun half-truthfully replied, “He runs a pawnshop on the corner over there. I heard he’s a top student, and graduated from a 985 university.

That day he came to see Grandpa Zhao, and when he came into my shop to buy something, I recognized him. We’d run into each other twice before in other places…”

Sure enough, Ye Yubin’s mind went astray, “I see…” Were these two young people dating?

But Xiao Yingchun was still holding something worth twenty million in her hands that she hadn’t had time to put into the Time-Space system yet, so she was anxious. “Uncle Ye, if you don’t have anything else, I’ll head upstairs first?”

But Ye Yubin stopped her again, “Little Xiao, I know since your parents passed this year life hasn’t been easy for you, but you mustn’t go down the wrong path…”

It turned out Ye Yubin had heard neighbors gossiping that Xiao Yingchun’s little shop had been unusually busy lately.

Truckloads of goods were brought in, yet no trucks were ever seen taking anything out. He suspected they were moved secretly at night.

What sort of business needs to be carried out in such secrecy?
Surely the kind that can’t stand in the open!

Ye Yubin had once been saved by Xiao Yingchun, and with her parents gone, he felt it was his responsibility to look out for her and warn her, which was why he had come.

Who knew that just as he arrived, he saw from a distance a luxury Mercedes worth millions drop Xiao Yingchun off.

In broad daylight, a young and pretty girl is being dropped off by a luxury car, still carrying luggage in her hand…

Ye Yubin grew even more worried, convinced that Xiao Yingchun must have gone astray.

Xiao Yingchun felt a chill run down her back: he wasn’t wrong.

Those truckloads of things had indeed been going in through the front and out through the back.

But everyone in the village knew the back door was a dead-end alley, impossible to leave by.

So people only saw goods coming in but never going out. To outsiders, wasn’t that bound to raise suspicion?

Xiao Yingchun took a deep breath, nodded solemnly, and said, “Uncle Ye, thank you for your concern. I hadn’t told anyone before, but I recently started an online shop, and business has picked up a little.”

“Sometimes I take orders that keep me busy until late at night…”

That neatly explained why her little shop was often closed.

Hearing this, Ye Yubin nodded, “You young people are quick thinkers. I’ve heard that e-commerce can be very profitable if done well—just make sure you don’t stray down the wrong path…”

He went on nagging for a while longer, still filled with concern.

Xiao Yingchun patiently saw him off. Once no one was around, she quickly stored the items into her Time-Space system. Then she thought it over and sent a message to Dai Hengxin, asking if he had any way to help her rent a warehouse nearby.

Dai Hengxin replied instantly, “I have a friend in the storage and logistics business, I’ll ask him for you.”

Before Xiao Yingchun could reply, his voice call came through, “He definitely has warehouses, I just don’t know if they’ll suit your needs. Why don’t I just take you to see them directly?”
