After five bigwigs in Beijing's elite circle fell into their trap, I fled.

Chapter 15 International Express Delivery

Jiang Shu slowly returned to the cottage at No. 082 in Xinghua Village.

At the entrance, under a branch of apricot blossoms peeking out from behind the wall, a deliveryman in his work uniform sat tensely on his delivery vehicle.

It seems quite different from ordinary Fengfeng Express.

The deliveryman in front of me was wearing a "Super V Channel" nameplate, and behind him stood two security guards escorting the packages.

"I'm Jiang Shu." Jiang Shu walked over and held out her hand. "Where's the package?"

"Identification card, please."

Jiang Shu kicked open the door, went inside, and after a while took out her ID card. The deliveryman verified it several times before handing it back, explaining as he did so.
"The items are simply too valuable, so we were being overly cautious."

Then, the deliveryman pointed to the delivery truck behind him: "This whole truckload is yours."

Jiang Shu raised an eyebrow.

The deliveryman waved his hand: "Make way, we'll just carry them all inside for you."

Ten minutes later, three large sacks, five extra-large one-meter-tall express delivery boxes, and five small express delivery boxes were all neatly stacked in Jiang Shu's cramped little room.

The deliveryman kindly reminded everyone: "Except for the two small ones, the rest are all transported via a super VIP special line, so they are definitely very valuable. Please ensure the safety of your surroundings before unpacking. If it's convenient, please give us a five-star review!"

After the deliveryman left, Jiang Shu squatted down and took out a few small packages to open.

Three of them were animal fur:

A golden canary;

Colorful and magnificent birds of paradise;

Platinum Arowana Skin.

Jiang Shu carefully put away the three items and began to unpack the other small packages.

A cheap wooden puppet mask she bought for 9.9 yuan on Taobao.

She also bought a voice changer that cost a whopping thirty yuan.

Thinking of the deliveryman's complicated expression and the words "the item is too valuable," Jiang Shu carefully wiped the voice changer with a soft cotton towel.

Expensive items need to be maintained.

After finishing all that, Jiang Shu's gaze fell on three large sacks and five extra-large express delivery boxes.

If I'm not mistaken, these large packages should be the unused items that those people in the group were talking about.
Jiang Shu first glanced at the sender information. The name and phone number were both hidden. Two of the five boxes came from Beijing, two from France, and one from the United States.

All three burlap sacks were shipped from country M.

Opening a random express delivery box from Beijing revealed over a dozen exquisitely crafted gift boxes of varying sizes, along with a professionally edited photo of a top celebrity, Yan Yu, with a beautifully executed calligraphic calligraphy on the back:
"The largest gift box is for my sister, I made it myself over three days, and it's not allowed to be given away. The rest, sister can do with as she pleases—your favorite canary."

Jiang Shu pulled out the largest gift box and opened it.

Inside are two Q-version dolls stuck together: each about 50 centimeters tall. One is Yan Yu, a top idol wearing a tuxedo and holding a violin, and the other is her wearing oversized glasses.

Jiang Shu touched the lifelike and adorable little face of the Yan Yu doll, then put the items away together with the pile of animal fur from before.

Then I randomly opened two small gift boxes, and seeing that they were all celebrity merchandise, I didn't open any more.

The second huge express delivery box from the capital city also contained more than a dozen celebrity merchandise gift boxes, which Jiang Shu glanced at and then put aside.

She began unpacking two large packages from country F.

The package was opened, revealing bottles of casually packaged red wine inside the delivery box. Jiang Shu didn't know much about these things and didn't dwell on it, simply shoving them aside.

My gaze fell on the last, oversized delivery box from country M.

When you open it up, a bunch of furry things pop out!

Jiang Shu took two steps back, watching as the fluffy thing grew increasingly fluffy, finally unfolding into a stunningly beautiful… cat bed. Inside the cat bed, a simple note bore only a few lines:
If you break it, I'll have to share a bed with you, okay?
Jiang Shu: "..."

She crumpled the unsigned note into a ball and threw it in the trash can, kicked the cat bed into a corner, and finally her gaze fell on the three burlap sacks.

To come up with something like a cat bed, one's thought process is probably a bit off, and presumably, their other unused items aren't normal things either.

With a snap, she cut the strap of the first burlap sack, and a bunch of old items fell out...

Mottled jade artifacts, porcelain pieces with intricate patterns, scrolls of varying sizes...

"It's hard to say whether a person is serious or not, but these unused items are genuine old objects." Jiang Shu was fairly satisfied.

After temporarily placing the items in the corner, Jiang Shu opened the second burlap sack.

A bunch of high-quality medicinal herbs suddenly appeared!

Jiang Shu's heart pounded as she looked at the huge bag!

Then, with an unprecedented gentleness and kindness in their eyes, they opened a private chat window on the phone:

The patron: "These medicinal herbs, also one dollar a sack?"

A cloying cat: [No]

Dear patron: 【！！！】

The smug cat: [Three sacks together make a truckload—remember to transfer the money, baby!]

Dear patron: [If I ever need more elixirs in the future, can I buy them from you for a truckload for just one dollar?]

The smug cat: [No way]

Dear benefactor: [Why?]

The smug cat: [What if we're completely broke? How will I maintain my position in the family, hmm?]

Dear patron: [...]

Since they couldn't agree on a price, Jiang Shu stopped talking nonsense, closed the chat window, and focused her attention on the last sack.

Could it be... a miraculous medicine?
With a hint of anticipation, she carefully opened the last sack.

Then, inside the burlap sack, two exquisite velvet bags were revealed.

She simply pulled open both velvet bags at the same time—

The dazzling light momentarily blinded her!
The first velvet bag opened, revealing thousands of exquisite gemstones—silver, purple, blue, pink, diamonds, sapphire, crystal, tourmaline… each one radiating a mesmerizing charm, covering the ground beneath her feet!

A huge pile of seemingly freshly forged, high-quality gold, not yet styled, numbering at least a thousand pieces, now lay gleaming at the opening of another velvet bag, ostentatious, luxurious, and extremely alluring!
Jiang Shu: ? ? ?
imperial capital.

The newly established Chaomu APP Operations Headquarters.

General Manager Li Mingzhan and Deputy General Manager Feng Zan sat in their office, drinking tea and reviewing reports.

Feng Zan shook his head slightly, quite content: "It's still more enjoyable to work with the BOSS. Even with such an obviously unprofitable project, no relevant department dares to block it; they're all eager to sign off!"

Li Mingzhan glanced at him: "The boss transferred you from another branch office not so you could be a hands-off manager. From now on, the promotion and traffic generation for the live streamers will be your responsibility."

"It's no big deal!" Feng Zan readily agreed. "When is the app planned to be launched?"

"It will be available online next Tuesday at 7 p.m.

Feng Zan put down his teacup: "I'll go to the marketing department right away to make arrangements. I guarantee that it will attract tens of millions of internet celebrities and big names on the day of its launch, shocking the live streaming industry!"

However, before Chao Mu could shock the live streaming industry, another large-scale, bloodless battle first stirred up a storm in the business world!
On Friday afternoon at 3 pm, news that multiple mines belonging to the Li Group had been bombed topped the headlines, and related stocks plummeted to their daily limit within half an hour!
