28: Lu Gui’s confidence in the future!
Bai Wanning's eyes flashed, and she immediately clicked confirm. It just so happened that she had over a thousand catties of brown sugar in her hand.
As soon as she accepted the trade, the scene before her eyes changed abruptly, and she returned to the familiar blue room.
Only this time, there was a woman in ancient attire in the room.
The woman's face was pale, and her expression was pained, clearly suffering from uterine cold, her whole body trembling with agony.
"Hello," the woman endured the discomfort, still politely greeted Bai Wanning, gracefully wiped the sweat from her forehead, and asked softly, "Do you have ten catties of brown sugar?"
"I not only have ten catties of brown sugar, but also medicine that can relieve your dysmenorrhea," Bai Wanning replied indifferently.
As soon as her voice fell, the ancient-attired woman's eyes lit up, staring straight at her.
"Is what you said true?" the woman asked in a low voice.
She had been thrown into ice water since childhood, and her body had long developed a chronic illness, especially her body was severely damaged. Even after cultivating profound arts later, she was still unable to change her uterine cold constitution.
For her, drawing ten invisibility talismans was merely a trivial matter, but the troubles brought by dysmenorrhea and uterine cold were the most persistent pains she had experienced over the years.
"I have no reason to lie to you," Bai Wanning's tone was calm, and her gaze was frank.
The woman stared at her for a few seconds, then nodded. Indeed, there was no need to lie about such a thing.
"How about this, let's add each other as friends and conduct a private barter trade. You're responsible for exchanging brown sugar and medicine to treat my cold illness, and I'll give you talismans according to your requirements," the woman said decisively.
Bai Wanning found this proposal quite attractive and agreed without hesitation.
The two exchanged private contact information. Bai Wanning took the talismans and handed over ten catties of brown sugar and the medicine.
After the transaction was completed, she left the blue space and returned to her car.
She looked down at the several yellowed talismans in her hand, a faint, meaningful smile playing on her lips.
Finally, she had a way to solve the problem that had always bothered her.
She had been wondering how to clear out Lu Gui's weapons warehouse, which, for Lu Gui, was one of his capitals for climbing to a high position in the Apocalypse.
For that warehouse full of weapons, she had formulated many plans, but each had uncertainties, and none were foolproof.
But now it was different.
With these invisibility talismans, she no longer worried about being discovered during her actions.
"Lu Gui... this time, I'd like to see what else you can rely on to be the boss," she sneered, a sharp glint flashing in her eyes... That night, Bai Wanning drove to the countryside and parked her car in an inconspicuous spot.
It was still dark, and she did not get out of the car, but quietly stared at the seemingly abandoned old warehouse ahead.
If it weren't for someone who knew the inside story, they would probably think it was just a dilapidated shed that had fallen into disrepair over the years, with no use value.
But Bai Wanning knew that the reality was far from as simple as it appeared on the surface.
When she was kidnapped by Lu Gui and locked in the basement, she happened to overhear his conversation with a Mr. John from M Nation.
At that time, Lu Gui's power was at its peak, not as cautious as he was now. Therefore, he spoke freely with Mr. John, enthusiastically discussing how to exchange weapons for food.
It was from that conversation that Bai Wanning learned that Lu Gui had harbored rebellious intentions long before the Apocalypse. He had secretly stockpiled weapons through the black market and illegal channels, then resold them at high prices.
This man was insatiably greedy, and it was precisely because of these weapons that he was able to survive and awaken after the Apocalypse descended.
Back then, when Bai Wanning learned all this, she wished she had seen through his true nature earlier; otherwise, she wouldn't have suffered such a great loss and been utterly disgraced.
But now it was different.
She was back.
This 'blessing' would sooner or later fall upon her!
Bai Wanning curled her lips and closed her eyes for a short nap.
Revenge was important, but she knew even better that her body couldn't go wrong. If she was even slightly careless, it would be her Xiao Cai Cai who suffered.
Time passed little by little. Bai Wanning opened her eyes and heard the sound of a car stopping outside. A group of men were chattering noisily beside the car.
She yawned lazily, rubbed her cheeks, and then fully woke up.
"How many times have I told you, don't turn on the high beams!" Lu Gui's angry shout came from the front seat of the truck, his tone filled with uncontrollable fury. "What if the villagers notice something amiss?"
Lu Gui had chosen this village for his illicit dealings after careful consideration. This village was the hometown of a retired veteran who had fought for the country for many years, his reputation resounding far and wide.
Who would have thought that someone would set their sights on such a place?
But once the villagers noticed anything unusual, he would be completely finished!
The driver, however, found it amusing. He squinted at the furious Lu Gui and said in a flippant tone, "Boss, look at this bumpy, muddy road ahead, it's incredibly slippery. I wouldn't dare drive without the high beams. If you think I'm not suitable, then find someone else to drive."
He spoke airily and arrogantly, completely disregarding Lu Gui...
Because he knew Lu Gui wouldn't dare do anything to him.
Lu Gui's face was ashen, and he glared at him fiercely, but couldn't say a word.
He knew why this person was so confident; this driver knew all his secrets, and if he were fired, the man would immediately call the police.
He could only grit his teeth and swallow his anger, suppressing the fury in his heart.
Once these goods were dealt with, he would definitely deal with this guy first! Dare to be so arrogant with him? Hmph!
Lu Gui snorted coldly and squeezed out, "Stop talking nonsense."
With that, he turned and walked around the truck, beginning to instruct the workers to move the boxes down one by one and transport them into the warehouse.
The driver pouted, spat on the ground, and climbed back into the driver's seat in annoyance.
Bai Wanning watched the scene before her calmly, her expression as indifferent as water. Whether Lu Gui and the driver were about to fight had nothing to do with her.
Her gaze fell on the mountain of boxes piled inside the warehouse, and she secretly calculated, waiting for the opportune moment for Lu Gui to leave.
When the man finally left, Bai Wanning got out of the car, affixed an invisibility talisman to her clothing, and then swiftly rushed towards the warehouse.
The Thug guarding the warehouse entrance was completely unaware of her presence. She silently slipped in through a side window.
