Siheyuan: I am a trader in both worlds!

Chapter 363 Smuggling! (Two chapters combined into one!)
This unexpected move really surprised Bai Ling and Lao Luo, who saw Xia Yiyi go crazy, grab a bottle of baijiu and gulp it all down.

It's like drinking water!
Isn't this bullshit?!

Fearing that Xia Yiyi might get sick from drinking too much in the city, Lao Luo and Bai Ling quickly stepped forward, helping her up and taking the bottle away. In just a short while, they managed to snatch the bottle away from Xia Yiyi, who had already drunk more than half of it.

Even Hao Pingchuan, who had secretly vowed not to get involved to avoid getting into trouble, rushed from the doorway to Xia Yiyi's side.

He started muttering all sorts of things, flustered and at a loss.

"What are you saying? Everything was fine just a moment ago. How did it turn into this in such a short time? He doesn't look like a big kid at all, so why is he so temperamental!"

They were genuinely afraid that Xia Yiyi would be angered by Bai Ling and suffer a serious injury, which could lead to many other unforeseen events.

Half a day had passed, and Xia Yiyi still hadn't said a word.

Hao Pingchuan couldn't help but complain.

"It's all your fault, Bai Ling! What were you so smug about? What were you so arrogant about? You're acting like a child! You're not just killing someone, you're destroying their spirit! Now look what's happened, you've driven a perfectly healthy person crazy! How can you be so petty? I don't even want to talk to you!"

What he said left Lao Luo completely astonished!
Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, Bai Ling and Xia Yiyi immediately lost their temper.

"You're the petty one!"

"You are the fool!"

Their expressions and gestures were almost identical, and even the words they uttered were remarkably similar. This not only startled Hao Pingchuan, but also left Bai Ling and Xia Yiyi speechless.

Taking advantage of the moment when the two were stunned, Lao Luo quickly picked up the conversation.

He immediately launched into a tirade against Hao Pingchuan, who had absolutely no sense of propriety.

"Hao Pingchuan, how many times have I told you, if you can't speak, then don't speak. No one will think you're mute if you don't speak, are you deaf?! What are you standing there for? Hurry up and apologize to Bai Ling and Ms. Xia!"

They practically forced Hao Pingchuan to apologize to the two young ladies, each with a temper that he dared not provoke.

Another angry shout sent Hao Pingchuan straight to the door, out of sight, out of mind.

They finally rescued Hao Pingchuan, quelling the unrest that was about to escalate.

I really don't quite understand what Xia Yiyi meant by all this.

It can't be that he was really angered by Bai Ling, that he has such a bad temper!

Thinking of this, Lao Luo asked cautiously.

Ms. Xia, what's wrong?

Seeing that even Lao Luo was quite intimidated by him, he was afraid that Lao Luo and the others would really think he was crazy and that there was something wrong with him.

Xia Yiyi quickly explained.

"Don't listen to Hao Pingchuan's nonsense. I'm perfectly fine. Not only am I not crazy or stupid, but I also have a very broad mind. Unlike Bai Ling, who gets so angry all the time, she's like a tigress and has no femininity at all."

"you"

"Bai Ling, please calm down and let Ms. Xia finish speaking."

After another round of persuasion, Bai Ling, who was about to explode again as if her tail had been stepped on, was finally calmed down.

He then gave Bai Ling a very subtle, provocative look, making Bai Ling feel extremely uncomfortable.

Xia Yiyi continued.

"Here's the thing, almost all the time has passed, but the smell of alcohol on me is gradually decreasing, which doesn't seem like I'm completely drunk!"

"If Ximen Lang accidentally finds out later, that would be even more troublesome. So I thought I'd take advantage of the remaining time to do a final touch-up, so he won't find out again. After all, it's better to go all the way with the act."

That’s what happened!
"That's not surprising, that's not surprising at all!"

But is this really not surprising?
The answer is of course no!

Especially Bai Ling, who had just been subtly and overtly insulted by Xia Yiyi.

Even a fool could tell that things weren't as simple as Xia Yiyi made them out to be!
At least her pettiness and temper are things she can never hide, no matter how hard she tries!

As mentioned earlier, almost all of that time has passed.

In other words, we had only spent a short time together, and had a fairly pleasant chat, when it was time to say goodbye.

And who knows when we'll meet again!
Overwhelmed by the emotions of parting, Bai Ling couldn't help but feel down and couldn't bring herself to open her mouth to expose Xia Yiyi's easily debunked lie.

Therefore, in the end, Bai Ling did not choose to expose her directly, but instead forgave her in a very generous manner.

While helping her tidy up her slightly disheveled clothes and smoothing out the wrinkles at the edges, he silently said goodbye to Xia Yi.

Xia Yiyi was naturally extremely reluctant to part with it.

After all, they've only just met!

She still had a lot to say, waiting to confide in Bai Ling and the others, and a whole host of things to discuss with them!

But time waits for no one!
If we wait any longer, given Ximen Lang's abnormal physique, he really should wake up soon.

So, in the end, Xia Yiyi still didn't say anything.

He reluctantly said goodbye to Bai Ling.

Even Lao Luo, who was standing to the side, was moved by this deeply touching scene and couldn't help but become filled with emotion.

Just as they were feeling moved, a sudden inspiration struck them.

With an unprecedentedly sharp mind, Hao Pingchuan sprinted back into the house.

Amidst the disgusted looks of the others, he blurted out.

"It's not like we'll never see each other again, do you really need to make such a fuss? Instead of wasting your time thinking about all this nonsense, why don't you use this last bit of time to help me check out this new idea I came up with and see if it's even worthwhile!"

"Seriously, I feel like this idea I suddenly came up with is absolutely brilliant! I've never been this smart in my life. You guys, help me think of something and see if there's anything that needs to be improved!" He acted like he was incredibly proud of himself, which made Lao Luo and the others speechless.

They were too lazy to waste any more words with Hao Pingchuan, and they had no hope for his intelligence at all. They urged him to stop being mysterious, to just say what he had to say, and to get out of there as soon as possible so as not to get in their way.

So, urged on by the others, Hao Pingchuan, who had kept everyone in suspense for so long, finally revealed the idea that had suddenly come to him.

"Here's my thinking: since we've confirmed that Brother Lang can bring people and goods back and forth, given his lazy nature, he probably won't bother to do any thorough checks on the goods."

"How about this: we can slip some people into some of the less important, easy-to-hide goods! While Brother Lang is busy moving things around, let's hitch a ride!"

"It's just about smuggling a few people in! This kind of clandestine operation should be quite lucrative, right?!"

Lao Luo and Bai Ling were both shocked!

They never imagined that Hao Pingchuan, who seemed to have a brilliant mind but simple limbs and was indeed as stupid as a pig, with his brain full of muscles, could come up with such a brilliant idea!

I am truly filled with awe!
Feeling that Hao Pingchuan had grown taller and more imposing, Lao Luo and Bai Ling, whose minds went completely blank from being stunned by this brilliant idea, subconsciously began to question it.

"Did you really come up with this idea? Really? I'm a little skeptical."

"You're absolutely right?! He's the most outrageous one among us! To say he's as stupid as a pig is an understatement, an insult to pigs! And yet you... Hao Pingchuan, you weren't impersonated, were you?"

Seeing that Lao Luo and Bai Ling were looking down on people by peeking through the crack in the door, they realized that Lao Luo and Bai Ling were simply looking down on them.

Even the newly appointed young aunt Xia Yiyi's doubts about herself were written all over her face; she was utterly incredulous.

Hao Pingchuan said irritably.

"You're the one who's as stupid as a pig! You think I'm being impersonated? With my size and my real skills, who could impersonate me? Who would dare to impersonate me?!"

"So... this idea really came from you?"

"Oh! Of course! Who else could it be? Is it you?!"

Actually, Hao Pingchuan came up with this idea by sheer chance.

After all, he was really bored out of his mind after being kicked out by Lao Luo.

I have absolutely no interest in the lingering atmosphere of those who left as if they would never see each other again.

But because the people in the house were either his young mistresses or his boss, he couldn't afford to offend either of them.

Therefore, Hao Pingchuan could only grumble inwardly.

As a result of this internal monologue, and then this outburst...
Believe it or not, he actually came up with an amazing idea!

I'm really eager to know if my idea is feasible and if it has any potential!

Hao Pingchuan quickly sought confirmation from the few more astute individuals.

"Stop thinking about all this nonsense and get me to think of something that might actually work!"

Is there any potential?
That is of course
"This is fantastic! Perfect timing! I was just worried that this current communication channel, which is severely limited by distance and other factors, wouldn't be able to meet our increasingly complex and frequent communication needs in the future!"

"If we can get this done now, the benefits will be enormous! So many that I can't even count them all in a short time!"

Isn't it?
If this can really be implemented.

A few skilled and knowledgeable technical talents were randomly smuggled in from later generations.
Even if they are not allowed to participate in the specific affairs of the Four Nine City world, they can just be allowed to be teachers who teach and educate people in the Four Nine City world.

To teach students various technologies that have been obsolete in later generations, or even simply to broaden their thinking and expand their horizons.
That would bring immeasurable benefits to the world of Beijing!

That alone is enough to tempt Lao Luo and his team!
Not to mention the amazing energy they unleashed after fully integrating into all walks of life in Beijing!
They were so eager to read it that the more they looked, the more they felt that the later generations really resembled the Russians.

And it's a super-powerful, invincible, whirlwind-enhanced version of the Russians!
In terms of morality, it is far superior to the Russians who are always eyeing its sovereignty and bullying the weak!
While there was still some time, Lao Luo immediately sent an inquiry to Xia Yiyi.

"Ms. Xia, what do you think of Hao Pingchuan's suggestion?"

Xia Yiyi, of course, couldn't agree more than she could; she wholeheartedly agreed!
Even felt
"There couldn't be anything better!"

Because if future generations can truly participate deeply in all aspects of the world of Beijing, then the scope of manipulation for future generations will be enormous!
Therefore, it's simply impossible to refuse.

Xia Yiyi nodded vigorously, immediately expressing her agreement!

"If possible, that would be even better!"

The only difficulty in this matter is its feasibility.
"First of all, safety is absolutely beyond question! We two are the best example! Before, Ah Lang even brought batches of live piglets from your place, and to this day, those piglets are still alive and kicking! So safety is definitely not something we need to worry about!"

"Secondly, there's the issue of secrecy, which is even less of a concern! I know Ah Lang all too well! Let me put it this way, unless the stuff is exceptionally good—so good that he has to show off in front of us—he'll be at a loss!"

"Otherwise, given his incredibly lazy nature, even if you knelt down and begged him, he would never give those things a second glance! He wouldn't even bother to look at the transaction list, leaving us to handle everything ourselves!"

"Plus, there are so many containers used for cross-border trade, making it extremely discreet! Just make a few small holes in the containers, put in some water and food, and stuff people inside!"

"I guarantee with my integrity that there will be absolutely no problems, and this deal will be done right away!"

These words made the group feel like they were being scratched by cat claws; they were so uncomfortable that they wished they could pull Ximen Lang up right now and verify his idea immediately.

However, this is clearly unrealistic.

Even if we're talking about something that's getting more and more interesting, we have to stop talking about it immediately!
Because it's really almost time!

So, although the group was really reluctant to part ways and wanted to continue chatting about this topic for several more days and nights.

In the end, however, the group, with remarkable tacit understanding and a sense of regret, promptly ended the conversation.

Reluctantly, yet decisively, I made a promise to Xia Yiyi that we would chat again next time!
Then, while Xia Yiyi finished the strong liquor on the table, he tiptoed back to Ximen Lang's side.

They quickly gathered their belongings and, together with the main group, disappeared into the night.

With the rapid withdrawal of the main force, the office soon fell silent again.
