Meanwhile, in the county town.

Inside a private box at the nightclub, Wang Jian'an faced his underlings with a gloomy expression.

"I asked you to investigate that kid and that woman's identities before, did you find out?"

"Those two seem to have vanished into thin air, disappeared without a trace. I've already led my brothers to search all the surrounding villages, but unfortunately, we haven't found them!"

The younger brother, his face grim, reported to the leader.

Wang Jian'an frowned, his face contorted in a grimace!

He started out as a loan shark and has become quite famous since taking over this dance hall.

No one in the entire county dared to mess with him!

That kid beat me up earlier and even interfered halfway through, ruining my business.

How could I possibly swallow this insult?

"Alright, for the next two days, you and your men will hold the line around Factory Street."

"That kid only paid a deposit; to complete the transaction, he'll definitely have to contact the owner again!"

"Remember, don't alert him. If I'm going to follow him, I'll find out what's going on with this kid!"

……

One day later.

Ye Chen and his companions, weary from their journey, finally arrived outside the county town.

"Ye Chen, we're out of trouble now, what's next?" Qian Jiali asked.

On the way, she already knew the whole story.

Seeing Qian Jiali's worried expression, Ye Chen calmly said...

"Keeping these deer antlers in our hands is like holding a time bomb; anyone who sees them will be envious!"

"Why don't we sell these deer antlers first? The manager of Changsheng Pharmacy should have connections in that area!"

Although Changsheng Pharmacy is now closed, Ye Chen is still able to contact the old shopkeeper.

The other party has been in the medicinal herb business for many years, and deer antler is a highly sought-after commodity, so they must have distribution channels!

Although the official channels do offer acquisition opportunities, the prices they offer are too low!

Around 250 yuan per jin (500g).

However, if a suitable buyer can be contacted, a pound of deer antler can sell for at least 300 yuan.

The price difference is fifty yuan, plus the weight of more than two hundred kilograms.

A round trip like that can make you a millionaire!

"Let's go find the old manager first, let's go!"

Ye Chen pointed out the direction, and the tractor moved along the streets of the county town.

Soon, they arrived at the old shopkeeper's house.

Ye Chen and his group had been traveling for a long time, and it was already afternoon.

The old shopkeeper's house is right next to the factory area; it's a three-courtyard house with three entrances and exits.

The courtyard gate was wide open, and the courtyard was unusually lively.

"Hey, Ye Chen, what brings you all here?"

Upon seeing Ye Chen, the old shopkeeper hurriedly and warmly greeted him.

Ye Chen then said in a low voice, "Old shopkeeper, I've come here hoping you can help me out. I have a batch of medicinal herbs that I need to sell, and I would appreciate it if you could help me make some contact."

"Well... let's talk inside." Seeing Ye Chen's serious expression, the old shopkeeper invited him into the room.

Only then did he ask, "What exactly are these medicinal herbs you're referring to?"

"Old shopkeeper, you should be able to sell these deer antlers, right?" Ye Chen opened a snakeskin bag, revealing the deer antlers.

The old shopkeeper picked up a pair of deer antlers and examined them carefully.

He nodded repeatedly, saying, "Indeed, these deer antlers were just harvested and are of sufficient age; they are definitely top-grade!"

"Ye Chen, how many of these do you have? This whole sack only weighs about thirty pounds, and you're already selling them all?"

"Not only that!" Seeing that the old shopkeeper had connections, Ye Chen had Tian Cong and the other two carry the snakeskin bags into the house.

The eight snakeskin bags were filled to the brim, and the old shopkeeper gasped in surprise.

"You mean, this is all filled with deer antlers?"

"Hey kid, where did you get all this stuff? So much of it, how much is it worth?"

The old shopkeeper had been running a medicinal herb business for over a decade, and had done many large transactions, but the most he'd ever made was a few thousand yuan.

The old shopkeeper had never experienced anything like Ye Chen spending tens of thousands of medicinal herbs at once.

"There's too much deer antler in this; most people probably can't eat it all... But if you really want to sell it, I can help you make some contact, though it might take a while."

"About how long?" Ye Chen pressed.

"I know a boss who specializes in transporting medicinal herbs. He's quite a big shot in the provincial capital. I'll call him now, but it'll probably take him a while to get here, no more than three days!"

The old shopkeeper frowned, pondered for a moment, and then responded.

Ye Chen immediately made the decision: "Then, old shopkeeper, this thing is attracting a lot of attention, so we'll keep it here for now."

"I'll leave one of my brothers to look after them. Let me know when they arrive, okay?"

Ye Chen trusted the old shopkeeper's character, and besides, he planned to have the balding man stay and watch over the deer antlers.

After all, he couldn't just stay hidden at the old shopkeeper's house for three days.

"If you trust me, leave the things here. It just so happens that I have a cellar in my backyard, which used to be used to store medicinal herbs. You and a few people can move the deer antlers into the cellar."

The old shopkeeper responded immediately.

"This is really troublesome," Ye Chen said, quickly expressing his gratitude.

The old shopkeeper's willingness to take the risk was a great help to Ye Chen.

Immediately, Ye Chen called the three of them and hid the deer antlers in the cellar.

Only then did he instruct the bald man to stay and look after the deer antlers.

He then led three others, preparing to return to Shuangshu Village.

A short while later.

Once Ye Chen and his group left the county town and were no longer with outsiders, Qian Jiali finally became excited.

"Ye Chen, you're amazing."

"We've only been gone a few days, and he's already transferred tens of thousands of yuan. He's definitely the man I've chosen; he's better than others!"

"So, you're saying you accept me as your man?" Ye Chen teased.

Qian Jiali blushed and turned her head to start thinking about how she should spend the money now that she had it.

……

Half a day later.

In the Li family courtyard.

Ye Chen and the others returned.

To prevent any accidents, Ye Chen had previously instructed Tian Xiaohui to stay at the Li family's house with Luo Ling.

Now that they've returned, they naturally have to come to the Li family to pick them up.

Old Li personally greeted Ye Chen, jokingly saying something.

"I've done what you asked me to do, and I'll return your two wives to their rightful owners."

"Uncle Li, who is his wife? We've been divorced for a long time. Even if we're trying to establish a connection, she's just his ex-wife at most!" Luo Ling immediately objected upon hearing this.

Tian Xiaohui remained silent, staring intently at Ye Chen.

A thousand words can be summed up in a single greeting.

"Are you alright? Did everything go smoothly for you these past few days?"

"Xiaohui, why do you care what he does? He's never home. If you ask me, I'd rather he just die out there!"

Luo Ling, though saying one thing, did another, and tried to dissuade him.

Ye Chen smiled and waved his hand, "You guys go and chat with Jiali first, I have something to say to Uncle Li."

Seeing the two reluctantly leave, Ye Chen then looked at Old Man Li and asked softly.

"Uncle Li, you don't look too well. Did something happen while I was gone?"

"Why……"

Old Li sighed softly, about to explain.

Unexpectedly, a commotion of footsteps could be heard outside the courtyard.

A dozen or so women blocked the gate to the courtyard and began to curse.

"Women of the Ye Chen family, come out here if you dare! Your men caused trouble and ran away, so you'll pay with your lives!"

"That's right, my husband is bedridden now, all because of Ye Chen. He deserves an explanation today, or this won't end here!"

"You bitch, get out here right now! If you don't tell me where Ye Chen is, this isn't over!"
