Catching people

Hearing Lin Yuan’s reply, the boss was stunned, exclaiming in disbelief, “How is that possible? Is this stuff hard currency?”

Lin Yuan smiled and explained, “When I first heard about it, I didn’t believe it either, but then I looked up some information.”

“Because black market transactions generally don’t dare to use money; most of them use Bitcoin or other more complex methods.”

“However, in Huaxia, Bitcoin is not supported by law, so Bitcoin transactions are relatively much more troublesome than in other countries.”

“And Lego has become a substitute.”

“The reason for this, to a certain extent, is that the Lego company intentionally uses scarcity to create product value, somewhat similar to collectible figures.”

“The transaction currency I’m referring to here isn’t all Lego toys, but rather discontinued, collectible ones.”

“Lego has very high quality requirements for its products; they’ve spared no expense on both pigments and materials, which makes it very costly for others to replicate.”

“Even if someone is willing to spend a lot, once there are too many on the market, the price will naturally drop, making it not worth the effort.”

“In addition to that, Lego is very good at hunger marketing. Once a product stops production, it’s basically impossible for it to be produced again, which implicitly gives it investment and value-preserving effects.”

“So, once it’s unsealed, its value isn’t great anymore.”

“Think about it, if you’re a drug dealer, would you prefer the other party to trade with you using money, or Bitcoin, or value-preserving Lego?”

After listening to Lin Yuan’s analysis, the boss fell into deep thought.

A few seconds later, he replied with surprise, “If Lego bricks are really as valuable as you say, I’d probably choose them too.”

“Exactly!” Lin Yuan nodded: “On one hand, it’s convenient for transactions, and on the other, it retains value and can be quickly sold.”

“There’s also a most important reason: even if they get caught by the police, he can completely deny selling and just say he was using it.”

“The police can’t find transaction records, and based solely on Lego bricks, they can’t define it as trafficking. At most, he’ll be locked up for a while and then released. Otherwise, he’d be eating peanuts!”

Hiss~~

After the boss understood the implications, he couldn’t help but gasp.

He couldn’t help but exclaim, “These people are too smart, aren’t they? Doing it this way really helps avoid a lot of risks.”

But then he thought about it, and the scene he had just witnessed flashed in his mind, and his expression instantly changed to one of alarm: “No wonder you just asked me if my shop sold drugs.”

“No, I need to figure this out. I don’t want to be in trouble later and not even know what happened, dying without knowing how I died.”

Thinking of this, he no longer had the mind to chat with Lin Yuan. If he were reported later, the bar would definitely be in trouble.

However, before he could even leave, he happened to see the young man at the stairwell sneaking away.

The boss’s heart sank, and he secretly thought, “This is not good.”

He quickly pulled out his phone and told the manager and others to stop him at the door, while he himself got up and chased after him.

Lin Yuan and the Photographer exchanged glances, both feeling that they couldn’t keep playing, and followed to see what was happening.

Unfortunately, when they chased out the door.

The person with the backpack was already gone, but they did find the young man who had made the previous transaction.

The moment the boss pushed open the private room door, the men and women inside were already hugging and dancing wildly.

On the table, besides a pile of drinks, snacks, and fruit platters, a small pile of white powder was the most conspicuous.

Seeing this, the people in the private room quickly rushed forward to clear away the white powder on the table.

They looked warily at the door and asked, “Bo… Boss? What is this?”

The boss walked in with a solemn expression, and asked seriously, “What did you just put away? Who told you to do this in here? Don’t you know this is illegal!!!”

Facing the boss’s reprimand, the group of people, already high, not only showed no fear but retorted indifferently, “Boss? Are you bored? We do what we want, what’s it to you? My parents can’t even teach me, and you come here to teach me?”

“Heh~~” The boss was directly amused by these words: “Yes, I don’t have the right to control you, but doing it in my shop is not allowed. Get out!! All of you, scram!”

“Tsk~~ If we leave, we leave. West Sea City doesn’t only have your bar. Let’s go, brothers!”

With that, the group lazily packed their things and walked out of the private room, looking completely unconcerned.

Netizens in the live broadcast room were all furious when they saw this scene.

— — 【Seeing them is like seeing my past self. Thinking back to when I was in college, I was really ignorant. I remember going to a bar with classmates back then, and I don’t know where he got it from, but several of us, more than ten classmates, went up and tried it. Luckily, I wasn’t interested. I heard that after graduation, a few people got addicted.】

— — 【It’s infuriating. Our anti-drug officers are protecting them with their lives at the border, and what about them? They don’t care at all. How heartbroken would the officers be if they knew?】

— — 【They don’t know how good they have it. I remember once taking a class abroad, and the teacher asked us if anyone had never smelled related odors. Out of over 50 people in the class, only I raised my hand. The teacher was stunned and didn’t believe me, asking where I was from. I told him Huaxia, and he was especially envious after hearing it.】

— — 【The late 90s were the most lenient period. It was rampant back then. I grew up with 4 playmates, and 2 of them couldn’t control themselves. Their lives ended at 20!】

After they all left, the Photographer quietly asked, “Brother, should we call the police in this situation?”

Lin Yuan looked at him with a wry smile, cursing inwardly.

How incredibly foolish are you?

The boss kindly entertained you, and you call the police? What’s the difference between that and reporting his shop?

Moreover, he also knew that such things were actually very common in bars and KTVs.

Many young people don’t know the seriousness of it, always thinking it’s something new and wanting to experience it.

Even if they called the police, it probably wouldn’t do much to them.

The most urgent matter was to find the person who sold the drugs earlier.

He was the key.

It was just a pity that guy ran too fast to catch up.

But just then, the manager suddenly received a call. After a brief exchange, he quickly said, “Boss, the guy you asked me to keep an eye on just appeared on the shop’s surveillance again. He changed clothes and is about to drive away. What should we do? Should we chase him?”

Hearing this, the boss jolted and quickly nodded: “Quick! Get someone to keep an eye on him, don’t let him get away.”

After speaking, he also rushed out, pulling out his phone to call the police.

Lin Yuan and the others were a bit bewildered by the situation.

What now? Selling the house today was definitely not realistic.

They weren’t in the mood to have fun either.

Helpless, they could only follow the boss out, planning to go back.

The boss hurried to the entrance and immediately saw the red car slowly pulling out of the parking spot.

But as soon as he reached his car and felt his pocket, he suddenly exclaimed, “Damn it! I forgot to grab my car keys!”
