Chapter 136 Green Intelligence Reappears, Li Dehua's Factory Encounters Trouble

Zhou Rui sensed something was amiss. Such methods were possible, but why would the other party dare to offer such a high price?

Either they have an urgent need, or they are certain that the other party will not dare to gamble, and instead release news of a low-price acquisition.

If the cargo owner is timid, they will generally choose to play it safe and sell at the low price he offers. In the end, the buyer gets the goods at a low price.

Zhou Rui originally wanted to play it safe, but after Zhao Jianjun revealed all the information he knew, he sensed something was amiss.

Deliberately concealing one's identity and creating a sense of mystery, and never taking the initiative to make contact, makes such people easy to deceive at any time.

Therefore, Zhou Rui suggested that Zhao Jianjun try to get in touch with this good man, and if necessary, he himself could also meet him.

Another point is that the Zhou family is not so easy to bully now. They can start to show their strength, since Zhou Rui didn't know that his family had such a big figure as Zhou Jian.

As Zhao Jianjun and Zhou Rui were talking, Zhou Rui's words made him think. He really hadn't thought of this.

However, upon closer examination, it makes sense and seems plausible.

"So what do you mean?"

"Uncle Zhao, this incense is good. I think we can sell it at a higher price. Let's get in touch with Mr. Hao first. If necessary, I can go see him together."

"Okay, then let's do as you say and decide on this."

After the two finished their discussion, Zhao Jianjun was about to leave. Zhou Rui tried to persuade him to stay, but to little avail. In addition, it was indeed getting late, so the Zhao family prepared to go home.

"Uncle Zhao, Aunt Li, we'll be free around next Saturday, so we'll come help us harvest the wheat then!"

"Haha, sure, then it'll be tough on you, Xiao Ruizi. That's all for now, we're heading back. Tomorrow, Xiao Qingya and I are going to the county town."

After seeing the three members of the Zhao family off, Zhou Rui returned home, chatted with his grandfather for a while, and then rested.

The next morning, Zhou Rui got up. Most of his family members were there, but his father had gone to the school to help out again.

To Zhou Rui's surprise, his second uncle and second aunt seemed to have an even better relationship, because he saw that his second uncle looked satisfied and his second aunt's face was slightly flushed.

Zhou Rui, this "little adult," pretended not to see it.

Today, the family still had to go to work on the farm. It was still early, and adhering to the principle that one should start early when it's busy in the farm, the whole family continued to work after breakfast.

Zhao Qingya didn't come today. She told Zhou Rui about it yesterday, and there were several reasons for it, which she had considered quite a bit.

Zhou Rui didn't think much of it, since he had never focused his thoughts on relationships.

They arrived at a rice paddy, where they were harvesting rice today. Around nine o'clock in the morning, Zhou Rui, who was engrossed in his work, suddenly had a strange feeling in his mind.

He knew this was today's updated intelligence.

With a faint sense of anticipation, Zhou Rui closed his eyes slightly as a message appeared.

[Intelligence 1: Li Dehua's factory has been inspected, his raw material supply has been restricted, and due to other reasons, he is struggling to stay afloat and showing signs of decline. Li Dehua is doing everything he can to keep this a secret, and Zhao Jianjun is currently unaware of it.]

[Intelligence 1 Quality: Green]

Information on green quality has finally been updated again!

Zhou Rui was immediately excited. The probability of getting more than half of the intelligence was really high. Many times, when he refreshed the intelligence every day, almost all of the two intelligence reports were white.

Now that he has another piece of useful information, how could he not be excited? Moreover, this piece of information is no less important to him than purple!

Because this is about Li Dehua, and it's negative news.

Could Li Dehua, his family's greatest enemy, finally be the one to suffer a truly devastating blow?

Zhou Rui stood in the rice paddy, opened his eyes, and murmured softly.

Previously, he had disgusted Li Dehua to some extent, making him spend more money to suffer losses. Although he comforted himself by saying that Li Dehua was indeed tricked and should thank Zhou Rui, that was just self-consolation.

The little money they swindled and the insignificant suffering they endured were far from enough.

Compared to Li Dehua's opportunistic, exploitative, and opportunistic behavior when lending money, this is utterly insignificant.

And today's intelligence clearly indicates that an opportunity has arrived—an opportunity to make Li Dehua bleed heavily.

Zhou Rui's gaze fell upon the field, where his hunched-over mother, his second uncle, and his second aunt stood.

He slowly clenched his fist.

Based on the previously released intelligence and the information revealed by Zhou Jian, it is clear that Li Dehua was affected by the person behind him.

Because that person was recently investigated, Li Dehua, as someone with vested interests, naturally became one of the key targets of the investigation.

Zhou Rui was originally planning to ask Zhao Jianjun in the next few days if there was any bad news about Li Dehua, but unexpectedly, the bad news came out directly.

Moreover, it seems that Zhao Jianjun was unaware of this, but that makes sense. If he knew, he wouldn't have kept it a secret, since both families dislike Li Dehua.

"Mom, I'm thinking of going to the county town today to see her off. Her birthday is coming up soon, and I'd like to see if I can pick out something as a birthday present for her there."

Zhou Rui's mind raced, and he quickly came up with a plan: to use the excuse of taking Zhao Qingya to the county town.

He didn't intend to simply tell Uncle Zhao about it, because this time, he wanted to get involved himself and deal with Li Dehua directly, instead of continuing to be a spectator.

Zeng Jiamei, who was harvesting rice, heard Zhou Rui's voice but seemed not to have heard clearly. She stood up and asked uncertainly, "What did you say? You're going to take Xiao Qingya? Didn't you argue with your grandfather a few days ago, wanting to let things take their course? Did you eat rat poison and suddenly change your mind?"

Zeng Jiamei's series of questions left Zhou Rui extremely embarrassed. Yes, just a few days ago he had said he wanted to let things take their course—no, it seemed like it was just the day before yesterday—

Today, I said to myself, "I'm going to find Xiaoya."

Um—this does seem a bit disjointed.

However, since the words had already been spoken, Zhou Rui had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue the conversation.

"Mom, I'm just going along with what's going on—cough cough, oh dear, Xiaoya's birthday is coming up soon, and I just remembered that I have some business to take care of in the provincial capital with Uncle Zhao, so I thought I'd take this opportunity to go."

Zeng Jiamei walked to Zhou Rui's side, and the others, having heard Zhou Rui's words, gathered around her.

Zeng Jiamei keenly picked up on a detail and asked, "How many days will you be gone?"

"It's hard to say, maybe three to five days."

"How long?"

Zeng Jiamei frowned immediately, because the family had always lived together since she was a child, and there was no precedent for Zhou Rui leaving home alone for so long.
