Chapter Sixteen: Running into an Acquaintance

  If it weren't for experiencing the prosperity of Ghost City with his own eyes just now, Lin Yao would never have believed that this was the location of Ghost City.

  So swift movement ability, so agile reaction power, such excellent hiding skills!

  Lin Yue couldn't help but sigh in admiration, this was probably the ultimate development of Chairman Mao's guerrilla warfare theory.

  At this time, several car lights slowly approached from a distance.

  This should be the police car.

  Lin Yue made a judgment in her heart.

  When the police car stopped, Lin Yue vaguely saw a few people slowly approaching in the dark, and several people got out of the car. Several people seemed to be saying something, as if the person who had just approached the police car didn't know why they wanted to hit the police, but was stopped by someone next to them.

  Hit the police?

  Lin Yue suddenly felt that the world had changed, and someone actually dared to hit a police officer?

  Suddenly, someone on that side took out something and put it to his mouth, a sharp whistle sounded from there, and instantly echoed throughout the sky.

  At this time, Lin Yue saw a scene that he would never forget in his life.

  In the darkness all around, points of light suddenly appeared and then gathered on the streets of Ghost Town like fireflies. The lights kept intersecting with each other, like a flowing galaxy, or like butterflies dancing in mid-air, constantly changing positions. If accompanied by a beautiful nocturne at this moment, it would be a dreamy scene from a fairy tale kingdom.

  Soon, the light fixed on a position, flickering with a faint glow in the darkness, and then people's shadows came out from the light, constantly moving around, sometimes bowing their heads, sometimes standing up to take things. Not long after, the shadows returned under the light and became quiet.

  The whole process does not exceed two minutes!

  What a magnificent view! How swift!

  Lin Yuezheng sighed and heard He Youzang's voice beside him: "Let's go, it's all right."

  Is everything okay?

  The police left?

  Lin Yueke looked at those police officers still standing there.

  Do we have to beat up the police?

  Lin Yue thought wickedly, it's already late at night and there are still so many people, even if they fought with the police, no one would know who did it, heh... maybe I can get a kick in.

  Just as Lin Yue and He Youzang were walking on the street, someone walked by beside them, muttering to himself: "Where did this son of a bitch come from? Doesn't he know the rules? Who allowed him to drive over here? Everyone walks across. If some son of a bitch drives over and scares everyone, I'll be the first to take care of him! Damn it, scared me half to death! Damn..."

  The curses faded as the man walked further and further away.

  Lin Yue finally knew why He Youzai had pulled him all the way here when they first arrived, instead of letting the taxi driver drive them over. It was a rule.

  And those "police" should be merchants who came to Ghost City to buy goods.

  It was just a false alarm.

  Lin Yue thought about He Youzang's behavior earlier, it seems that such misunderstandings often occur in the Ghost Market, no wonder that person wanted to beat those merchants, anyone would be unwilling to be busy for nothing.

  Just as Lin Yue and He Youzang were walking on the streets of Ghost City, someone suddenly called out to them from beside.

  "Little brother, little brother, don't go, the wool just arrived and hasn't finished watching yet, come continue watching."

  Lin Yue looked up and found that it was the owner of the woolen goods stall he had just visited.

  Looking at the stall owner's anxious eyes, Lin Yue could only shake his head helplessly. He was about to call Qin Yaoyao and didn't have time to waste going there to look at the fabric again. Besides, the motivation for seeing if the fabric would move last night had already been fulfilled, so it wasn't necessary to go anymore. Moreover, that fabric wasn't good anyway.

  He You Cang didn't stop either, and the two of them continued walking forward.

  The stall owner gazed helplessly at the two figures disappearing into the darkness, let out a sigh, and his face turned ferocious. He muttered in a low, angry tone: "Which son of a bitch ruined Grandpa's good deed? If I find out, I'll skin him alive! Damn it, just when I found a rookie who'd just started, the duck that was about to land in my mouth flew away!"

  Lin Yue and He Youzang greeted each other, then went to a deserted place and dialed Qin Yuyao's phone.

  "Has something happened there? Why are you calling so late?" Qin Yaoyao's anxious voice came through as soon as the phone was answered.

  Lin Yue's heart suddenly warmed up, and at the same time, he felt full of guilt. Qin Yaoyao was indeed still waiting for his call so late, making a girl wait for him for so long, which filled his heart with guilt.

  "I didn't mean to ignore you, I was going out tonight so I overslept and it's late now, sorry about that." Lin Yue said with a tone full of apology.

  "No need to apologize, as long as you're fine." Qin Yaoyao said with relief.

  "Don't sleep so late from now on, pay attention to your rest, nothing will happen here."

  Upon hearing this, Qin Yaoyao on the other end of the phone only responded with a faint "uh-huh" and didn't show any other reaction.

  Lin Yue sighed and from Qin Yaoyao's reaction, he knew she definitely wouldn't listen to him. As he sighed, a kind of happiness was growing in his heart, Qin Yaoyao didn't listen to him because she cared about him.

  Lin Yue comforted Qin Yaoyao for a while, and then the two of them talked about their feelings for another half hour before hanging up the phone.

  Having a girlfriend is truly blissful!

  This also made Lin Yue feel that he was no longer fighting for himself, but for his loved one. This goal of struggle gave him infinite motivation.

  Lin Yue put away his phone and followed the direction to find He You Cang. With the faint light, Lin Yue finally found He You Cang, who was standing in front of a stall looking at woolen goods.

  Lin Yue walked forward and exchanged a glance with the stall owner, both of them were stunned at the same time.

  The stall owner was actually Qin Zonghan!

  Lin Yue couldn't help but laugh and squatted down to say: "I didn't expect to run into you here."

  "I didn't expect that either. It seems you've been in the stone gambling business for quite a while, and you've even found your way to Ghost Market, haha..."

  Qin Zonghan was also happy to have bumped into Lin Yue, after all, running into an acquaintance late at night is a pretty delightful thing.

  "I've just started working here, I came with a friend." Lin Yue pointed to He Youzang who was looking at wool nearby.

  When he heard the word "friend", He Yuzhang's figure involuntarily moved slightly before returning to normal.

  Qin Zonghan followed Lin Yue's pointing direction and smiled, "Since we are all friends, the wool you see today will definitely be sold at the most favorable price. I just need to guarantee that I won't lose money, haha."

  "I'm afraid there's nothing here that we can look up to in terms of wool." Lin Yue said with a smile.

  "How is this possible? I directly imported these goods from the remaining stock of Yangon, Myanmar. They are absolutely high-quality." Qin Zonghan said seriously.

  At this, Lin Yue snorted and said: "Don't brag, those are just leftovers that others didn't want."

  "Haha, picking up the leftovers is better than not being able to buy any!" Qin Zonghan said with a sly merchant-like expression.
