Shocking! The young educated youth had just arrived and was already clashing with spies.

Chapter 393 The people have arrived, the location is set, and their hunting moment has finally begun

The three old men said everything they could, then whispered some words of advice to the three men. When they saw that it was almost time, they said goodbye and swayed as they headed home.

On the way to the county public security bureau.

"I suspect that Shuanzi might not have enough medicine, and he's thinking of getting some from the black market."

Chu Yunting looked at the two of them and expressed his thoughts.

That's the only possibility. Now that the hospital and various clinics have been notified by the Public Security Bureau, he can't get the medicines from the open market.

Chu Xin agreed and said, "Uncle Hu hasn't gone out to deliver goods yet; he's on standby at the county transportation team. He knows more about the black market than we do. We'll go ask him later."

Chu Yunting and Zhou Yichen nodded.

Then, the car fell silent.

Seeing that the two of them didn't intend to say anything more, Chu Yunting became a little impatient. He took a deep breath and cleared his throat, his two fingers gripping the steering wheel so tightly that they turned white.

It's clear how conflicted he was, but he still managed to say it.

"I shouldn't have spoken with emotion about what I said a few days ago, please don't take it to heart!"

After speaking, he glanced at Chu Xin and Zhou Yichen's expressions in the rearview mirror.

Chu Xin couldn't help but smile, and Zhou Yichen also wanted to laugh a little.

The two were acting mysteriously, and Chu Yunting immediately realized something, his face showing indescribable frustration.

"So, you... know?!"

Seeing his face flushed as if he were constipated, Chu Xin said nothing else, only:

“We have never worried about this matter from the beginning. We have confidence in your moral character. Everyone has personal feelings, and we understand that.”

"Of course, don't worry, whether this works out or not depends entirely on Chen Ping's opinion; we will absolutely not go against her wishes."

Zhou Yichen then promised, "That's how it is."

Chu Yunting felt a sense of relief, but was still somewhat embarrassed, muttering to himself:

"They still haven't said when they found out."

Chu Xin raised an eyebrow at him, giving him a look that said, "Are you stupid?"

“You went to Captain Ye alone to tell him to bring Chen Ping back. This is no small matter. How could he not talk to Zhou Yichen about it?”

But you don't need to feel embarrassed, we really understand and believe in you.

Chu Yunting pouted so much his lips could hang an oil lamp. "So you all knew all along, and were just waiting here, weren't you?"

Chu Xin flicked him on the head, somewhat annoyed.

"What, you're breathing heavily now?"

"They're already being lenient by not teasing you in a blatant way; don't put yourself in danger!"

Chu Yunting: ...

Is this my younger sister?

Zhou Yichen watched this scene with a smile, saying nothing, but his eyes held the same teasing tone as Chu Xin's—you didn't expect that, did you? We know you better than you know yourself.

Chu Yunting was really annoyed. He had felt guilty for so long, but it turned out that he had been the one struggling with this all along!

Zhou Yichen subtly widened the curve of his lips.

This idiot, he only has this much trust in his comrades, it makes you want to punch him.

In the blink of an eye, the car arrived at the police station.

As soon as the three of them entered the gate, Zhou Wen came to greet them.

"Chen Ping is here!"

Speak of the devil and he appears.

If we calculate the timeline roughly, it was almost immediately after the police found Chen Ping that she not only agreed but also returned that same day.

Just as they thought, she was a rare, intelligent, and responsible girl.

The people arrived, the location was set, and their hunting season finally began.

First, Chen Ping was arranged to rest in the Public Security Bureau's dormitory, Zhou Yichen went to discuss deployment issues with Captain Ye, and Chu Yunting and Chu Xin went to the county transportation team to find Lu Hu.

As soon as Lu Hu heard that they wanted to find the head of the black market who could get medicine, he knew it was something he shouldn't inquire about, so he didn't ask any questions.

"That place is hard to find, and the people there are a bit of a mixed bunch. I'll take you there later."

Chu Xin disagreed, "You'd better not go. We're working with the Public Security Bureau, and they'll definitely be arresting some people from the black market. You've been involved in that for so long, and you know a lot of people. It's better not to cause yourself any trouble."

Then, remembering something, she asked him, "The kid won't just happen to come here, will he?"

Although Lu Hu had always wanted to get his son a respectable job, he had so many people to support, and apart from his old job in the black market, no other job could earn him so much money so quickly.

However, Lu Hu also felt sorry for the boy. He quit his job in the black market and handed over all his connections to him, so at least he wouldn't have to risk his life like before.

Lu Hu mentally calculated the days, but even he wasn't entirely sure.

"It's the beginning of the year, and people are visiting relatives and friends and giving gifts. It's a good time to do business, and he probably won't miss this opportunity."

But it might not be here.

"Alright then, I'll keep an eye on him. If I see him, I'll give him a heads-up."

Chu Xin pondered for a moment and then said.

Lu Hu had no choice but to agree, and then told them the location of the black market, the opening time, the name of the person who mainly dealt in medicines, and how to find him.

"It's different here from the Northeast. The black market usually only operates at night, with major markets opening on the 3rd, 13th, and 23rd of each lunar month. That's when the medicine sellers appear."

After all, reselling medicine is a much more serious crime than selling other things; confiscating property and being executed are basic penalties, so no one dares to show their face frequently.

Chu Xin frowned. Yesterday was the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, which was the day the market opened. Could it be that Shuanzi had already gone there?

Lu Hu shook his head, glanced around discreetly, and then said:

"No, you don't know because you haven't managed daily life. Because it's just after the festival, the control over food coupons has been tightened this month. The higher-ups know that some people will take risks, so the number of red armband patrols on the streets has increased a lot."

Where there's a policy, there's a countermeasure. The market, which was supposed to open on the third day of the Lunar New Year, was moved up to the first day of the new year.

But as you've probably noticed, the strict checks on the streets haven't eased, so it was impossible for the market to open on time yesterday.

Therefore, the black market that was supposed to open on the 13th will be moved to the 15th, which is tomorrow.

These are all unwritten rules.

Chu Yunting had never paid attention to these things before, and it was quite strange to hear that they were so particular. How much money must they make to come up with such mysterious rules?

However, considering that I am a public servant, I felt it would be beneath me not to say anything that would cause a stir.

Chu Xin breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that there was still time. She was also impressed by that old man Wang for not mentioning this matter.
