For Yue Hengyi's current suggestion, Cao Fuelie nodded in agreement and said, "That's right, according to your words, this He Kanyou is just a pretty boy, relying on Qin Kewei's ability to muddle through the apocalypse. Fine, investigate him, and if that doesn't work, kill him!"
Hearing Cao Fuelie's direct words, Yue Hengyi immediately hesitated and said, "But he's Qin Kewei's husband. If I kill him, won't Qin Kewei be sad?"
"You idiot!" Cao Fuelie said, full of disappointment, "If Qin Kewei is sad, isn't this your opportunity? When she's sad, her heart will inevitably be empty. If you take care of her at this time, she'll be yours. Although the method is not honorable, it's the most efficient."
Yue Hengyi didn't speak, but his eyes kept darting around, clearly considering the feasibility of this matter.
Lin Yue thought that instead of doing difficult things, it would be better to directly kill a pretty boy. Didn't he become a super-powered person? Let's see what He Kanyou's level is. Kill him directly, and it's all over.
Therefore, Lin Yue also joined the persuasion: "Mr. Yue, as the saying goes, if you can't solve the problem, solve the person who raised the problem. Since this problem is caused by He Kanyou, if you solve him, there will be no problem. Miss Qin will return to your embrace, won't she?"
"This isn't appropriate, is it? You know, I just intended to investigate the truth of the matter. Because Qin Kewei's personality has changed too much, I'm worried. Killing someone is going too far. Others will think I killed him out of love and hate!" Yue Hengyi shook his head.
"Don't worry, you don't have to do it. We brothers can take care of this pretty boy!" Cao Fuelie interjected at this moment.
Lin Yue didn't want to waste any more time in Yanjing, so he also began to persuade: "Mr. Yue, my ability can control infrasound attacks, which leave no external wounds but directly attack the opponent's internal organs. I only need one strike to rupture He Kanyou's arteries, and he will die within ten seconds. We'll do it for you!"
It turned out that in the eyes of Lin Yue and Cao Fuelie, Yue Hengyi's hesitation was still due to face. He couldn't bear to do it himself. Since that was the case, they only needed to act on his behalf. Killing Yue Hengyi's love rival would complete the mission, wouldn't it?
However, Yue Hengyi kept reminding himself: "I want Qin Kewei to be happy, not to deprive her of her happiness. If I forcibly snatch Qin Kewei back, isn't that selfish? No, I absolutely cannot do this!"
Therefore, Yue Hengyi directly said to Lin Yue and Cao Fuelie: "Gentlemen, let's not talk about killing people. This matter ends here, and let's never discuss it again. If I wanted to kill someone, I wouldn't have to trouble you two to come from Yuzhou. I could have done it myself a week ago!"
The implication was that Yue Hengyi would not personally kill his love rival.
After Lin Yue and Cao Fuelie exchanged glances, they saw the helplessness in each other's eyes and could only say helplessly, "Since that's the case, then let's prepare to investigate. I wonder how long the investigation will take!"
The two of them originally planned to stroll around Yanjing and then quickly return to Yuzhou. What they had in Yanjing, Yuzhou also had. Why stay in a foreign land?
"How about this, let's first gather information about He Kanyou. After we gather it and understand He Kanyou's background, we can follow the clues to find out the truth," Lin Yue suggested.
Cao Fuelie nodded and then said, "Then let's go to the black market to buy information about He Kanyou. By the way, where is Yanjing's black market?"
"I don't know either!" Yue Hengyi shrugged, indicating that he didn't know either.
"No way? You, a local of Yanjing, wouldn't know about the existence of the black market?" Cao Fuelie found it exaggerated. Black markets existed all over the country, and Yue Hengyi actually didn't know, which was a rare thing.
It was now the apocalypse, and the financial systems and markets across the country had collapsed. After all, normal trade only occurred under orderly conditions, which gave rise to the emergence of a black market. The so-called black market was a market that was not regulated.
Yue Hengyi could only spread his hands helplessly and say seriously, "I'm someone who eats imperial rations, especially in the Superpower Administration. We have everything we need. We even have special supermarkets where we can buy anything from a single onion to cars and guns at low prices. Why would I bother to know about the black market?"
Cao Fuelie thought about it. The life in the Superpower Administration seemed quite corrupt now, with special supermarkets. If there was no need, one indeed wouldn't need to know about the black market.
"When we get back to Yuzhou, I must apply to the City Lord to set up special low-price supermarkets for our own people!" Cao Fuelie said seriously.
"I don't think the City Lord will agree. We have industries in Yuzhou. If we can also have supermarkets where we can buy at low prices, wouldn't that be special treatment?" Lin Yue said seriously.
"How can we know if we don't try? At least, it's good to ask. As long as the City Lord agrees to set up special low-price supermarkets, won't we make a fortune?" Cao Fuelie said with a smile.
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. It's about time we discussed who will go to the black market to buy information. Mr. Yue is often in the news, so he will definitely be recognized," Lin Yue said, not wanting to dwell on low-price supermarkets, and started to talk about business.
Cao Fuelie thought for a moment and said, "I also followed the City Lord to Yanjing to fight back then. It's possible I might be recognized. Lin Yue, it seems only you can do this."
Cao Fuelie had followed Shen Feng to Yanjing to fight before, and it was possible that some people would recognize him. Lin Yue, on the other hand, had always been engaged in intelligence work in Yuzhou, and under normal circumstances, no one knew him. After thinking about it, the only person who could go to the black market to gather information was Lin Yue.
Lin Yue nodded and said, "No problem, then I'll go buy the information. Give me some gold. Carrying food when I go out will attract too much attention."
Yue Hengyi quickly found a gold nugget and handed it to Lin Yue. Food was indeed a universally accepted currency, as it was an important resource. Without food, no one could survive. However, besides food, gold and silver were also default currencies. Gold could not be synthesized and could only be obtained through mining. Gold was only produced during the Big Bang. Apart from that, it was impossible to synthesize gold. Although silver was cheaper, it was not something everyone had.
Lin Yue received the gold nugget, put it in his pocket, and went out. As long as he used his ability, he could hear people talking from afar. If Xu Huwei were still alive, he would definitely praise him, as they were kindred spirits who could eavesdrop on what others were saying.
Soon, Lin Yue learned about the existence of the black market from some people talking on the street. It turned out that Yanjing's black market was different from other places. In other places, transactions started after nightfall, but Yanjing had a curfew, and people were not allowed to go out at night. Therefore, Yanjing had to focus on locations. The more remote the place, the more the black market liked it.
Moreover, Yanjing's black market was also worried about being discovered, so it frequently moved from one place to another. Only internal personnel knew when and where the black market would appear.
However, Lin Yue was still a super-powered person, especially in gathering information, he had advantages that others did not. He quickly learned the location of the black market from the members of the black market. Looking at the time, there were still a few hours before it ended.
The entrance to the black market was a construction site. Judging by the condition of the construction site, work had not been done for a long time. After all, in terms of housing, the market was already saturated, and there was no market for building more houses. Therefore, stopping construction was also normal.
Many suspicious-looking people entered the construction site, and in the center of the construction site was a half-finished building, into which everyone entered.
Upon entering, Lin Yue was questioned, "Where are you from? What do you want to do? Have you paid the entrance fee?"
Lin Yue said indifferently, "I want to buy information. Where do I pay the entrance fee?"
The two guards looked at each other and said, "Pay here, just give me a pound of grain. After you go in, you can buy whatever you want. Leave your contact information, and we'll notify you next time the black market is held."
Lin Yue took out a gold nugget from his body and asked, "Is this okay?"
"Of course, please come in, sir!" The two guards were overjoyed when they saw Lin Yue's generosity. They never expected to guard the door for so long and still meet such a wealthy person today. After all, there was no quality guarantee for things in the black market, and wealthy people preferred to buy through official channels, which always had quality assurance.
One of the guards took the gold nugget and bit it with his teeth. He could bite out a mark, which indicated that it was real gold and had sufficient purity. Gold is soft and has good ductility. Most people judge its authenticity by its texture and density.
"No problem, gold can certainly be used as an entrance fee, but we can't give you change for the gold you paid!" the two replied with a smile, and while smiling, they pocketed the gold nugget.
It was obvious that these two had taken a liking to the value of the gold nugget and did not want to give change, intending to pocket it.
Lin Yue saw the little thoughts of these two. If it were in Yuzhou, he would definitely make these two suffer a little. How dare they covet my money? If I don't let you know what regret is, I'm not Lin Yue!
However, in Yanjing, this was the headquarters' territory. If things were blown out of proportion, it would not be appropriate. If their tracks were exposed, it would be a small matter, but if the mission could not be completed, it would be a really big matter.
"Forget it, it's for you. Can I go in now?" Lin Yue was too lazy to deal with these two doormen. He just wanted to enter the black market to buy information.
"No, you can't go in yet!" The two were still blocking Lin Yue from entering.
Lin Yue was immediately angry and prepared to use his ability to teach these two a lesson. He thought to himself, "Do they really think I'm a pushover? Today, I'll let you know why the flowers are so red!"
However, just as Lin Yue was about to make a move, the two doormen took out a badge from a pocket on the side. The badge had a pin on it. The two said obsequiously, "Sir, wear this badge, and you won't have to pay the entrance fee anymore in our black market. Have a good day!"
At this moment, Lin Yue noticed that everyone entering the venue was wearing a badge, which meant they were regulars here. Since he didn't have a badge on his chest, it was normal to be questioned.
After receiving the badge, Lin Yue immediately entered. Outside the half-finished building, nothing could be seen. But after entering, he found it very lively. In the black market, some people were selling weapons, and some were selling jewelry. Among them, diamond rings were very cheap and were displayed in large quantities on the stalls, with the stall owners shouting.
"Absolutely genuine diamond rings! One pound of grain for a diamond ring! Don't miss out if you pass by!" the stall owner shouted listlessly.
This was Lin Yue's first time in Yanjing's black market, and he didn't know where to buy information, so he had to walk around. As he walked aimlessly, he was immediately spotted by a young boy.
"Sir, is this your first time at the black market? I can lead you, but you need to give me two taels of white flour, or rice is fine!" The boy immediately walked up to Lin Yue and offered his services.
