Logically speaking, the old man should have restrained himself after being discovered by his superiors.
However, the members of the special operations team just continued to observe, and even quietly leaked the news that there was a black market somewhere in the old city where some old items could be exchanged for food.
Nowadays, everyone in the streets has some kind of gossip.
It even reached Pei Yanning.
In just a few days after the New Year's greetings, more than one person leaked this news to Pei Yanning, and some even implied that they were not sure how long the exchange would last, so those who were short of food should seize the opportunity.
The old man's people also plan to take advantage of the situation here.
Lingxi was shocked.
Is this a big deal?
Where is Sijiucheng?
For generations who have lived here, every family has an old item. You never know if the pickle jars under the wall are all very old items.
It was a time when food was so scarce that people could hardly survive. Even if this had not happened, people could not be stopped from buying expensive food on the black market.
Now that they have heard this news, I'm afraid they will flock to the black market.
That’s more than seven million people!
Even if it's just a part of it, it's still a terrifying number.
Gu Si was also speechless.
"There is definitely a problem with Lin Feiyin. The old man has exchanged a lot of food, and the higher-ups have used various identities to exchange for even more. Some of it has already been shipped to various places."
But apart from the inexhaustible food of unknown origin and the whereabouts of the antiques she had collected but whose traces were unknown, she could not find any other abnormalities.
After weighing the pros and cons of all aspects, the superiors temporarily allowed her to continue.
The things here are not difficult to understand. They rashly went straight to Lin Feiyin. Let's not talk about anything else. It's hard to say whether her method of getting food can still be used by the country.
The country is really short of food now. Lin Feiyin can provide food continuously, which is a good thing and something the country is happy to see.
They were not sure whether Lin Feiyin's food could still be used by them after they exposed the matter, so they simply followed her rules.
This is a transaction between us.
The only thing that needs to be worried about is that the antiques that are exchanged for food from Lin Feiyin may be precious cultural relics, but this can be avoided as much as possible.
The old man in their family did an experiment. The other party only looked at the age. He took Yuan blue and white porcelain and earthenware bowls from the same period to exchange. As long as the weight was the same, the exchange ratio was the same.
We are all smart people. Who would be willing to exchange something that can be exchanged for an earthenware bowl for more exquisite porcelain or jade?
The old man was able to carry out the experiment, and the people in the special operations team were not there to do the work for nothing. When they released the news that food could be exchanged, they also released these things at the same time.
Moreover, the special operations team is also watching, and if there is something particularly valuable, they will intercept it in advance.
Lingxi: “…”
Just use Lin Feiyin’s place as a supply point.
However, Lin Feiyin’s troubles have just begun!
There is a real food shortage now, so my tolerance for her remains. But what if there is no food shortage later? Will I have the capital to try and make mistakes?
Also, the country doesn’t cause trouble for her, but what about that person?
This is obviously not normal for her. She can hide it in the short term, but it will become unbearable over time.
By then, the covetousness that will be attracted will not be as gentle as the national father.
Lingxi instantly felt that she was great when she was timid and cautiously stretched out her tentacles to explore when her soul and spirit just merged. At least no one noticed that there was anything wrong with her!
This Lin Feiyin...
Tsk!
Gu Si looked at Lingxi's relieved expression and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"She's not really stupid. When she went to the black market, she disguised herself. She changed into an old lady's clothes, painted her hands and face black, and even hunched over like an old lady. She thought she was hiding well, but in the eyes of professionals, she was exposed."
These were all leftovers from the past when everyone was behind enemy lines. After it became clear that there was something wrong with Lin Feiyin, once the focus was on her, she couldn't hide it at all.
The special operations team easily found Lin Feiyin, and through her they traced her subordinate, the one who had been helping her collect antiques in the black market in exchange for food.
Although the other party has been doing black market business for a long time, he is also a mediocre person and has a sense of loyalty.
But he is still very patriotic.
He and Lin Feiyin had a spirit of contract, but it was the country that found him, so it naturally took precedence over the individual.
With that person around, Lin Feiyin was almost transparent.
But she always thought she hid it well.
Lingxi: “…”
How miserable!
Their first stop was a time-honored roast duck restaurant. However, as they mentioned the devil, Lin Feiyin came towards them. As luck would have it, she was holding an umbrella and walking hurriedly, and she pushed open the door of the roast duck restaurant before them.
Lingxi blinked and looked at Gu Si subconsciously.
Gu Si held the umbrella and let the snowflakes float, but he suddenly thought of something and pulled Lingxi's scarf up. Lingxi was wearing a knitted hat today, so it would be inappropriate to ask her to cover her head with the hood.
There was a light snowfall and not many people were on the streets.
They entered the store. After all, it was a time-honored brand in the capital, so there was a queue inside. After they ordered their food, they chose a corner seat by the window where they could see the street view outside.
Lingxi was very curious about Lin Feiyin. Just as she was about to take a quick look at her, she heard her soft and slow voice.
"Thank you. If there really isn't any, forget it. I'll ask somewhere else. Thank you for keeping an eye out for it."
Lingxi: “…”
What are you looking for this time?
She didn't want to get involved in this matter at all. She shrank into the corner silently and put on her oversized hood to cover it up!
No matter whether a hat with a hood on it looks weird or not.
Gu Si saw his wife acting "sneaky", quietly lifting her hood to peek at someone, she looked a little bit cute, no, a lot of cute, very cute.
He laughed and blocked the person more tightly, "Fourth brother is here!"
Lingxi chuckled.
It only took Lin Feiyin a few minutes to come in and go out, and she probably had to rush to the next place.
Lin Feiyin has been having bad luck lately.
In the book, Brother Mo Xuan’s fiancée, who was about to break off the engagement, actually got married. She was clearly doing good things, but her father was isolated for investigation. And the original heroine, the little village girl who came from a remote mountain village but was admitted to the capital university and worked part-time, could not be found...
If it weren't for the fact that Brother Mo Xuan, the male protagonist in the book, was still there, and if it weren't for the fact that the names of the people around the male protagonist could still be matched, she almost thought she was wearing a fake book.
Or is this a fan fiction written by some author, who simply wrote out the original heroine? !
But she read the book so hastily that she couldn't remember where the original heroine was from!
Lin Feiyin went crazy.
She didn't know anything. How could she get the golden finger storage pendant of the original heroine? She was still waiting for help! (End of this chapter)
