Li Chonglou nodded and said, "We naturally have channels for that. The current problem is that we can't find where to procure it."
"We originally heard that the Sun Corporation could procure some, but we inquired, and they seem to have encountered some trouble?"
To Li Chonglou's surprise, when he mentioned the Sun Corporation, Chen Peiyue's expression drastically changed.
A grim look suddenly filled her delicate face.
"Don't even think about trading with that scoundrel company! Our Little Knife Gang will drive them out of Feng Town sooner or later!"
Li Chonglou and Yue Hai exchanged glances, completely taken aback by Chen Peiyue's reaction.
Li Chonglou asked doubtfully, "What did this Sun Corporation do? Why does your tone make them sound like they deserve to die?"
"Hmph, it's a scoundrel company!"
Chen Peiyue huffily recounted the Sun Corporation's 'misdeeds', which were exactly the same as what Li Chonglou had previously investigated.
They beat their own employees and withheld wages. In Chen Peiyue's words, what displeased her most was that one of the targets of the Sun Corporation's actions was a pregnant woman!
Li Chonglou and the others were still investigating these matters and dared not deny Chen Peiyue's words at the moment.
Thus, Li Chonglou could only sigh and say, "It seems that it's truly difficult for us two brothers to do some business in your Feng Town."
"How about this, you treat us to a meal, and we'll let this matter go?"
Chen Peiyue's eyes suddenly lit up.
"No problem! Come on, I'll take you to a great place with lots of good food!"
Chen Peiyue's enthusiasm surged, and with renewed excitement, she pulled the two of them away again.
Her demeanor suddenly reminded Li Chonglou of those young ladies who never left their homes. However, such things usually happened in olden times, right?
What era is this now, and such situations still occur?
Shortly after the three of them left, the grey-clothed men who had been tricked also realized they had been played and regrouped, dispersing throughout the streets and alleys of Feng Town.
A short while later, Chen Peiyue led Li Chonglou and the other to an alley.
This alley wasn't small, about five to six meters wide from side to side, but it was completely empty at the moment, not even a shadow of a person.
"There's food here?"
There were no doorways on either side of the alley; only two rows of walls stretched to the end. Li Chonglou couldn't help but look at Chen Peiyue doubtfully.
"Ah, there was plenty of good food here when I came this night."
"Um, you mean late-night snacks?"
Seeing the confused Chen Peiyue, Li Chonglou finally couldn't help but ask, "You've grown this old, haven't you ever gone out on your own? Or have you never even left Feng Town?"
A hint of gloom suddenly appeared in Chen Peiyue's eyes.
"From childhood to adulthood, I haven't even left the Little Knife Gang's premises a few times..."
Yue Hai, standing beside them, suddenly spoke, "Did they imprison you?"
Yue Hai, who also had little experience with modern society, felt a strange and complex emotion welling up inside him upon seeing someone even more ignorant than himself.
There was sympathy, shared understanding, sorrow, and anger.
He himself couldn't explain why he felt such complex emotions. At this moment, a thought suddenly arose in Yue Hai's mind.
He couldn't just stand by and do nothing!
The imprisonment Yue Hai mentioned was precisely what Li Chonglou had anticipated. However, in the next second, Chen Peiyue shook her head.
"How could my father imprison me? It's just that I haven't worked hard enough and haven't met the targets."
"Targets?"
The two looked confused.
However, footsteps suddenly came from behind them. Chen Peiyue's face changed, and she quickly whispered, "It might be someone from my Little Knife Gang, let's go!"
At this moment, Li Chonglou already had an idea and proactively said, "Follow me."
Then he led the two through the alley, found a corner, and called Gao Baisong.
"Boss, just send me your location."
After communicating, Li Chonglou directly sent his location to Gao Baisong. In about five minutes, Gao Baisong's car stopped outside the alley.
To conceal their identities this time, Li Chonglou had rented two cars for Gao Baisong and Lao Er, both ordinary small cars that wouldn't attract attention anywhere.
"Boss, where are we going?"
"Back to the inn."
As the car started, Chen Peiyue, sitting in the back, suddenly spoke.
"You're not bad guys, are you? Trying to kidnap me?"
Li Chonglou, sitting in the passenger seat, was momentarily stunned and about to explain, but then he heard Chen Peiyue say.
"Let me warn you, I'm a very good fighter! Don't think about having any ill intentions towards me."
"You're a very good fighter?"
Yue Hai, sitting next to her, looked disbelieving. Chen Peiyue turned to him and said seriously, "I'm telling the truth. You wouldn't be able to beat me either."
Yue Hai chuckled, thinking to himself if he was also this ignorant before. For a moment, he didn't refute Chen Peiyue.
After all, it reminded him of himself at the Martial Arts Association.
However, her words did catch Li Chonglou's attention.
"Xiao Ai, merge."
Ai Lin, within the soul bottle, merged with Li Chonglou without hesitation. The next moment, Li Chonglou directly used his ability to look at Chen Peiyue.
However, upon seeing her, he was stunned.
He saw that in Chen Peiyue's dantian, an internal energy half as thick as Yue Hai's was coiled like a fireball!
This internal energy, he suspected, would make even the few people from the Martial Arts Association appear inferior standing before her! Including Qing Lin.
A woman younger than Yue Hai possessed such profound internal energy; Li Chonglou was momentarily shocked.
What she had said earlier was very likely true; if Yue Hai were to fight her, it was truly uncertain who would win!
Li Chonglou's daze, in Chen Peiyue's eyes, was interpreted as him being captivated by her beauty. Her previously favorable impression of Li Chonglou instantly vanished.
"I want to get out of the car!"
Chen Peiyue's expression suddenly turned cold.
Seeing this, Li Chonglou explained, "Don't misunderstand, we are not bad people, and we have no ill intentions towards you. When we get back to the inn, if you're still worried, we can talk outside."
Chen Peiyue frowned, "Really?"
"Why would I lie to you?"
The coldness on Chen Peiyue's face faded slightly, but she still maintained a skeptical look.
This was only until Gao Baisong drove the car back to the entrance of the inn.
Since they were still within Feng Town, Chen Peiyue's trust in Li Chonglou increased somewhat after she got out of the car.
"Good thing you're not bad people, otherwise I would have taken you to the police station."
Yue Hai chuckled again.
Li Chonglou, however, asked, "So, do you want to come in to talk? Or talk out here?"
