Chapter 113 - The Mysterious Black Sedan
Chapter 113: The Mysterious Black Sedan
Translator: Lonelytree
As Xiao Lingyu expected, she sold the three boxes of crops in a short amount of time. Granted, most of her customers were repeat customers. The vegetables and fruits were too tempting. Many of Xiao Lingyu’s repeat customers came to the market early to locate her for the past few days.
Their family had members who demanded to have Xiao Lingyu’s crops. There were children and pregnant women. There were also old ladies and men acting like children.
After wandering around for many days, they finally found the young woman who sold vegetables. They decided to buy as much as they could. After all, who knew this young woman would come back again?
The middle-aged women and old ladies who set up stalls beside Xiao Lingyu were envious when they saw Xiao Lingyu’s product disappear off the tricycle despite their exorbitant price.
“What kind of vegetables and fruits are they that they’re so expensive?”
“I have no clue, but many people have been asking if there had been any expensive vegetables. I thought they were crazy.”
“Haha. I heard that two shops in the market heard about this and raised their prices as a response. The customers went to their shops but then left in anger after seeing the stock on sale.”
“Why is that?”
“They said the stuff on sale was not worth the high price!”
“People are weird these days. They don’t want to buy cheap vegetables but instead need to find expensive ones. Plus, I’ve never heard of people caring about crop quality before. Isn’t the most important thing is the crops’ freshness?” A woman pointed at Xiao Lingyu’s stock. “The girl’s vegetables and fruits are pretty. They’re shiny and watery. I wonder how they are grown. However, no matter how good-looking they are, it is no reason for them to cost so high!”
“I heard from the customers that her vegetables and fruits are extremely delicious. Both adults and children love them. Even children are fighting to eat her vegetables. That is rare!”
“Children are the toughest customer. If the children love her produce that much, then they must be very delicious.”
A middle-aged woman paused beside Xiao Lingyu. She carried two baskets of vegetables. They looked quite fresh. The woman’s eyes glinted as she asked with a smile, “Miss, did you grow these yourself? They look so good.”
With a glance, Xiao Lingyu knew what the woman was after. “No.” She replied.
“No?” The middle-aged woman’s eyes brightened, and she pressed, “Then where did you get your stock? Is it from the vegetable farm up the bridge?” When the woman asked this question, all the nearby vendors perked their ears.
“No.” Xiao Lingyu said again.
And… Xiao Lingyu didn’t add any explanation. Who was this middle-aged woman to Xiao Lingyu? Why did she need to explain herself?
The other vendors looked disappointed when Xiao Lingyu didn’t go into details.
The middle-aged woman didn’t give up. Before she could ask anything else, Xiao Lingyu pointed out, “Auntie, can you move? You’re blocking me.”
Xiao Lingyu wanted to reverse her tricycle, but the woman was standing in her way. After the tricycle backed out, Xiao Lingyu didn’t say anything else and rode away.
Xiao Lingyu returned to her rental and parked the tricycle in the warehouse. She went into the living room to boil a pot of water and rest. She took out her bag and shook out the money. Xiao Lingyu predicted she would have more customers today because of the reputation she got from her first sale. Therefore, she prepared a more considerable stock than last time.
She earned 1610 RMB! That was about 400 RMB more than last time.
Xiao Lingyu brought out another 30 tomatoes and 10 cucumbers from the farming space. She packed them and decided to drop them off with Xiao Lingye at his school.
Xiao Lingyu knew that Xiao Lingye’s roommates went to Taoyuan Village for her tomatoes. Therefore, she decided to give them more this time.
Xiao Lingyu looked at the time. It was still early. It was not even 9 am. She decided to look around for a shop to rent.
Before Xiao Lingyu left City Z, she already had some savings. After she was framed, she got 50,000 RMB in compensation from Lin Xiangyu and 5,000,000 RMB from Zhao Huiqing.
Xiao Lingyu had donated the 5,000,000 RMB, but she kept the 50,000 RMB. Combined with her existing savings, she had around 100,000 RMB.
She had used around 50,000 RMB to set up her business and farm, so she still had around 50,000 RMB left.
Xiao Lingyu knew that the farm would require a lot of funds to run. 50,000 RMB was not enough. However, Xiao Lingyu believed she also needed to rent a shop to sell her produce.
She couldn’t expose the existence of her farming space. However, once the vegetables at her new farm were harvested, she would need a place to sell them. A shop was instrumental to her future business.
With that in mind, Xiao Lingyu packed her money, took her phone, her bag, and left.
Xiao Lingyu visited the market. The place had a high traffic flow. There was no shop for rent. Xiao Lingyu moved closer to the city center.
Xiao Lingyu was very clear about her target audience. Her high-end produce would be marketed to the wealthy citizens who had money to spend.
If someone could read Xiao Lingyu’s thoughts, they would laugh at her. A vegetable vendor wanted to rent a shop at the city center? It was crazy. The profit from the sales wouldn’t be able to cover the shop rental.
However, Xiao Lingyu would prove them all wrong…
Xiao Lingyu visited New Street Road, Light Road, Construction Road, but she didn’t find any empty shop to rent. After walking for a while, Xiao Lingyu was tired and decided to rest.
Once she sat down, a duo of motorcycle thieves snatched her bag. The team relied on a motorcycle. One rode the motorcycle while the passenger robbed their unsuspecting victim. The victim wouldn’t be able to catch up to the speeding motorcycle.
Xiao Lingyu was stunned before shouting and running, “Help! Thieves!”
Xiao Lingyu did not realize how fast she was running. She was running faster than Olympic runners. The people around her were shocked. ‘How can this young woman run so fast?’
A four or five-year-old child pointed at Xiao Lingyu and exclaimed, “Dad, that Big Sister runs so fast, it looks like she is flying. Does she know Qing Gong?”
The crowd was too shocked by Xiao Lingyu’s running speed to realize she needed help capture the thieves.
Xiao Lingyu was anxious as the motorcycle sped away. The bag contained her bank card and the cash she had from her sale that day. The bag also had her phone and her IC.
She was so nervous that she kept on pumping her legs. She didn’t realize her speed increased because of it. This shouldn’t be impossible, but Xiao Lingyu was slowly catching up to the speeding motorcycle.
The two thieves sped into a deserted street, so, at this point, no one noticed Xiao Lingyu’s superhuman speed other than the two thieves.
“The fuck, is that woman a superhero?” The thief riding in the passenger seat was shocked by Xiao Lingyu’s speed. “She’s still tailing us even though we’ve already sped so far away! She’s slowly closing in on us. Blond hair, you sure you’re stepping on the pedal? Or are we running out of fuel?”
The blond scolded, “Bullshit! I knew there’s work today, so I’ve already refueled the motorcycle this morning!” They were a professional team. In the past, they had been caught because their motorcycle ran out of fuel. Thankfully, they knew to abandon their motorcycle, and they managed to escape jail time.
After that, they would make sure they had fuel in their motorcycle before they started work. It was no exception this time.
Zhao Xiaoliu at the back heard the blond and shouted, “Then, step on the gas! Why are we moving so slowly? Do you want to be caught?”
“Zhao Xiaoliu, are you mad?” The blond roared, “Can’t you tell that we’re already moving at the highest speed?” The wind howled past their ears. Zhao Xiaoliu was stunned when he heard his accomplice. He cursed, “Fuck, does that woman know Qing Gong? How can she keep up when we’re on a motorcycle?”
“What did you say?” The blond thought Zhao Xiaoliu was kidding. He glanced at the rearview mirror, and there she was. The woman whom they robbed was still chasing after them…
Bang! The blond was distracted, and he didn’t notice a rock on the road. Since he was speeding, the motorcycle flipped over, and the two thieves flew out.
“Ah!” It was a car accident! But there was no one around.
Xiao Lingyu was surprised by this turn of events too. She ran over a moment later.
The two men were lying on the ground. One of them hit his head and fainted. This was the blond.
The other lay weakly on the ground. He moaned weakly when he saw Xiao Lingyu walk over, “Please… call the ambulance!”
They were thieves, but they also needed help. Xiao Lingyu couldn’t just stand there and watch them die. She picked up her bag, took out her phone, and called the ambulance as well as the police.
When Zhao Xiaoliu saw Xiao Lingyu call the ambulance for them, he was grateful. However, his face was in a scary grimace due to pain.
“Thank you!”
…
Xiao Lingyu did not notice that a low-key black sedan was watching her from another intersection.
Someone inside the sedan ordered. “Deal with this!”
“Yes!”
The accident and Xiao Lingyu’s superhuman speed had been recorded on camera. She was one step too close to being exposed, but someone saved her.. However, Xiao Lingyu didn’t know that.
