Spoiled By the Young Master After Reborn In the 80s-Chapter 83: Eighty-two, set up a stall

Fu Yi looked at Luo Shu, who was smiling at him. "Would you mind telling me what you just bought?" That stall was in a shady area and, because it was quite a distance away, he hadn’t seen it very clearly. However, he guessed that it must have been some dangerous item.

"Want to know?" Luo Shu asked with raised eyebrows.

"Yeah!" Fu Yi nodded.

Luo Shu mischievously smiled, "But I don’t want to tell you." After saying that, she began walking towards the office. freeωebnovēl.c૦m

Although Fu Yi was sent by Old Master Lu to protect her, she still didn’t completely trust him. At least she didn’t yet know what Old Master Lu thought of her, whether he already considered her as Hanmo’s future wife.

Fu Yi frowned and followed her.

The black market’s office was located in a secluded house. From the outside, the house appeared very dilapidated, but the interior was quite elegantly decorated.

The two entered the office, only to see that the employee there was a middle-aged woman who still had her charms. She was wearing fashionable, curly hair popular at the time and was dressed in a red coat with a formal collar, looking very stylish.

The middle-aged woman sized up the two of them and threw Fu Yi a flirtatious look, smilingly asking, "May I ask what items the two of you would like to sell?" By her estimation, this man and woman were not ordinary people; at least this man definitely had some abilities.

"It’s a hundred-year-old wild ginseng," Luo Shu turned to Fu Yi with a mischievous smile. "Big brother, take out the wild ginseng so this sister can take a look."

Fu Yi gave Luo Shu a flat look and handed her the handkerchief he was holding.

Luo Shu took the handkerchief, unfolded it, and placed it on the table.

When the middle-aged woman saw the wild ginseng in the handkerchief, her eyes instantly lit up, "This truly is Top Quality!" Such wild ginseng was rare even in the black market. It was a pity she didn’t have enough money to buy it.

Reaching for a form next to her, with her fingernails painted Dankou, she lightly tapped on the form, "Write down your asking price and basic information on this form. Once you’ve sold the wild ginseng, we’ll take a 10% stall fee. If there are no issues, please fill out this form."

"Okay!" Luo Shu nodded, grabbed a pen nearby, and quickly started to fill out the form.

After finishing, she handed the form back to the middle-aged woman.

The middle-aged woman glanced at the information on the form and nodded with a smile, retrieving a black plaque from a drawer and handing it to Luo Shu, "Alright, you can pick a spot."

Walking out of the office, Luo Shu stopped at an unremarkable location, placing the handkerchief along with the wild ginseng on the ground.

"Have you ever been to the black market before?" Fu Yi asked in a quiet voice.

"No, this is my first time," Luo Shu said with a smirk. Indeed, it was her first time in this life.

"Doesn’t seem like it," Fu Yi felt that he couldn’t quite see through Luo Shu. He intended for her to get a taste of the danger of the black market, but she seemed not to be unfamiliar with the place, as if she had been here many times before.

"Believe it or not, that’s up to you." Luo Shu shrugged nonchalantly. After all, with her current identity, even if someone tried to check, they wouldn’t find anything.

"How much for this ginseng?" a middle-aged man wearing glasses approached and asked.

"Two thousand!" Luo Shu answered. The price wasn’t considered high for the black market, as those who shopped there usually weren’t short on money.

"May I take a look at it?" the middle-aged man inquired.

"No problem!" Luo Shu readily agreed.

The middle-aged man squatted down, reaching his hand out to take the wild ginseng from the ground, examining it closely.

After a long while, he set the ginseng down and stood up. As he rose, a flash of cold light appeared from his hand as a dagger swiftly thrust towards Luo Shu.

"Be careful!" At the same moment as Fu Yi pulled Luo Shu out of the way, he kicked out with great speed, sending the middle-aged man flying.

The man stumbled back several steps before he heavily crashed to the ground.

The commotion quickly drew a crowd of onlookers.

The black market’s management also quickly arrived at the scene.

"What happened here?!" The lead enforcer, a dark-faced muscleman, looked at Fu Yi with a stern face.

Luo Shu walked over to the middle-aged man, picking up the dagger that had fallen to the ground, showing it off in front of everyone, "He tried to use this dagger to harm someone."

"Don’t listen to her nonsense. I have no grudge against them. Why would I use a dagger to hurt them?" the middle-aged man called out in pain, clutching his stomach.

"Come with me to the office!" the dark-faced muscleman said sternly.

At the office, the muscleman led Luo Shu and the others into a small room. He sat down in a chair to one side and looked at them coldly, "Speak, what exactly happened?"

"I’ll speak first," the middle-aged man shouted. "I saw ginseng at their stall and wanted to buy it. Just as I had inquired about the price, he kicked me. I don’t know why he would kick me. I am still a bit dazed."

"How do you explain this dagger?" Luo Shu pointed at the dagger on the table.

"That dagger, I just bought it; it accidentally fell out of my pocket," the middle-aged man argued.

Luo Shu turned to the dark-faced muscleman, "Do you believe his explanation? Do you believe that a just-bought dagger would not have a sheath?"

The muscleman frowned, looked at the middle-aged man, and shouted fiercely, "You know what kind of place this is, don’t try to play tricks, or you know the consequences."

The middle-aged man’s eyes darted around as he spoke ingratiatingly to the muscleman, "I have something I’d like to discuss with you in private."

The muscleman stared at him for a long while, then gave a nod, "Come with me."

"Alright!" The middle-aged man quickly followed with a smile.

After the muscleman and the man had left the room and shut the door, Fu Yi turned to Luo Shu, "Aren’t you afraid?" Her composure indicated that she had no fear whatsoever.

"Why should I be afraid?" Luo Shu asked indifferently.

"Aren’t you afraid they might play tricks and keep us here?" asked Fu Yi. The fact that the middle-aged man dared to make a move on them here meant he definitely had some backing. If this incident didn’t just blow over, it would mean trouble for them.

"Don’t I have you?" Luo Shu said matter-of-factly. Cloud City was the Lu family’s turf, and Fu Yi was sent by the Lu family; there was no way he couldn’t handle it.

Fu Yi was speechless. After this encounter, he realized he really couldn’t see through Luo Shu. Although she was only seventeen or eighteen years old, she lacked the naiveté of her age, as if she had everything under control. No wonder even Hanmo, who usually didn’t take women seriously, cared so much for her and had Master Lu send him to protect her.
