Chapter 1108: Black Market

Editor: Atlas Studios

“What are you here for?” The man wearing a green mask at the door questioned. There were five to six bodyguards behind him as they looked at Xu Jin coldly.

Xu Jin calmed herself down and said in a low voice, “I have a piglet that has grown up. I want to come over and sell it for a good price. Will you guys accept it?”

The man nodded. “Go in. Keep walking forward until you reach the sixteenth door.”

Xu Jin nodded. The man glanced at her and continued coldly, “You know very well what you should and shouldn’t see, right? If I find out that you’re up to something, you can forget about leaving this place tonight.”

“I know, I know.” Xu Jin hurriedly nodded her head and said. She lowered her head and looked very honest.

The bodyguards behind the man walked over and started checking Xu Jin’s body. When they checked that she did not bring any dangerous weapons, they let her in.

Only then did Xu Jin heave a sigh of relief. Walking inside, she began to stride forward, counting in her heart. Very quickly, she arrived at the sixteenth door and knocked on it. “Is anyone there?”

“Come in.” A hoarse voice sounded. This voice was hoarse and unpleasant, as if he had not drank water for decades.

Xu Jin pushed open the door and immediately saw the interior of the room. The room was very small and there was only a table and two stools inside. There was also a man wearing a red clown mask.

The man smiled at Xu Jin. “Come in and close the door.”

Xu Jin walked in carefully. For some reason, she seemed to smell blood.

The man opened his notebook and recorded something on it. His voice was hoarse. “I heard that you’re selling a piglet? How old is the piglet?” piglets were the substitute name for young women.

Xu Jin hesitated for a moment before continuing, “She’s 22 years old and in good health. How much is she worth?”

“How’s her health? Has she been married?” The man’s voice sounded in the room. The pen in his hand was recording.

Xu Jin shook her head. “She’s in good health and not married. When are you guys going to take her away?”

“Shut up!” The man suddenly flew into a rage and slammed the table. “If I didn’t ask, don’t say anything else. If you say another word…” The corners of his mouth twitched as he opened the drawer of the table. He took out the things in the drawer and handed them to Xu Jin. “Look, these are all the fingers I removed tonight.”

Xu Jin looked over and saw that the drawer was filled with full severed little fingers. The little fingers were bloody and the smell of blood rushed over. She wanted to vomit. Xu Jin’s face turned pale and a trace of regret flashed across her heart. “I won’t spout nonsense anymore. I’m sorry.”

“Tsk tsk, that’s more like it.” The man seemed to be in a much better mood. He returned the drawer and continued to ask, “How much do you plan to sell her for?”

Xu Jin hesitated for a moment. “Ten thousand?” She did not care about the money, but she was afraid that the man in front of her would be suspicious if she did not want the money.

The man smiled. “Eight thousand.” They would sell her for ten thousand. The two thousand in between would be their profit.

Xu Jin nodded. “Alright.”

The man asked, “What’s the relationship between that girl and you? You know the rules here, right? The person selling the piglets must be a relative, or at least a blood relative.”

Xu Jin clenched her fists and said nervously, “I’m her aunt. Her parents are both dead. I’m selling her for some money to spend.”

“Alright, tell us her address. We’ll go over and take her away tomorrow,” the man said slowly.

Xu Jin immediately reported the address that she had found previously. “This is an apartment building. There are more people coming and going.”

The man smiled. “Go on. Someone will give you the money when you go out.”

Xu Jin braced herself and left the room. Her entire body was wet. When she returned to the Xu family, she placed the eight thousand dollars on the table and sat in front of the desk in a daze. As such, Zhuang Zhu would be taken away, right? However, she had an ominous feeling in her heart.

In the Zhuang family’s study, Zhuang Xuan sat in front of the desk while the bodyguard stood and reported.

“After Xu Jin left the Guo Family, she disguised herself and went to the underground black market. The security there was tight, so we could only observe from the outside,” the bodyguard said slowly.

Zhuang Xuan asked, “How long was she in there for?”

The bodyguard replied, “Fifteen minutes. When she came out, her face was very pale. She seemed to be in shock.”

Zhuang Xuan frowned. “Continue to investigate. I want to know why she went to the black market.”

The area of the black market had always been under the jurisdiction of the Wen family. Unfortunately, he had no interaction with the Wen family, so it was very difficult for him to investigate the clues directly.

Recently, he had found some clues on Xu Jin’s medicinal purchase. However, these clues were not enough to let Xu Jin receive the punishment she deserved. He had to hit her with one strike and definitely not let her escape!n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
