What does Chapter 223 mean?
On the other side, Ma Junjie watched the performance while observing the order of the scene.
After observing for about half an hour, he found that the situation had basically stabilized.
Ma Junjie walked up to Liu Xiaoshan and said...
"Xiaoshan, things are almost stable here. Go check out the outer perimeter."
"I haven't eaten dinner yet, I'm going to get something to fill my stomach."
Upon hearing this, Liu Xiaoshan quickly responded.
"Yes, Captain Ma, go ahead. I'll take care of things here!"
Ma Junjie smiled brightly and said,
"Xiaoshan, thank you for your hard work."
Liu Xiaoshan nodded vigorously, then picked up the rubber baton, turned around and left.
Ma Junjie watched Liu Xiaoshan's retreating figure disappear through the crowd, and a relieved smile returned to his face.
He thought to himself, "Luckily, I've met a trustworthy brother here."
Otherwise, I'm not sure I could have persevered.
"Gurgle, gurgle," Ma Junjie's stomach protested again as he thought this.
I was so busy just now that I forgot about being hungry.
Now that he's relaxed for the time being, waves of hunger are hitting him, making Ma Junjie feel somewhat exhausted.
He turned around, preparing to go outside to buy something to eat.
After weaving through the crowd and passing through a passageway flashing with colorful lights, Ma Junjie finally emerged.
At the entrance of the entertainment center, there were many food vendors. Ma Junjie walked over and randomly ordered a plate of stir-fried rice noodles.
After waiting for about five or six minutes, the stir-fried rice noodles were ready.
Ma Junjie picked up the bowl and wolfed down a few bites.
Just as they were enjoying their meal, a sudden, hurried, and panicked voice rang out.
"Captain Ma, Captain Ma!"
Ma Junjie put down his lunchbox and looked in the direction of the sound.
Upon closer inspection, one could see the fear on Liu Xiaoshan's face.
Ma Junjie asked in confusion,
"Xiaoshan, you're in such a hurry, what happened?"
Liu Xiaoshan was panting heavily.
He looked warily at the entrance of the entertainment center and stammered,
"Captain Ma, Zhang Qiang and the others..."
Ma Junjie's eyes widened, and he asked...
"Xiaoshan, is Zhang Qiang up to something again?"
"Is there trouble inside again?"
Liu Xiaoshan shook his head vigorously.
"No, that's not it..."
"No?" Ma Junjie was a little confused. He raised his voice and said,
"Xiaoshan, what's wrong? Stop keeping me in suspense."
"Say it!"
Liu Xiaoshan looked embarrassed.
Finally, with a sigh, he said...
"Captain Ma, well... come with me!"
When Ma Junjie saw Liu Xiaoshan's expression, he knew that things were probably not simple.
He slammed his lunchbox onto the table, grabbed a tissue, and wiped his mouth.
Said,
"Xiaoshan, let's go!"
Liu Xiaoshan nodded and quickly walked into the entertainment center.
Liu Xiaoshan was very familiar with the place and moved around the entertainment center with ease, with Ma Junjie following closely behind.
A few minutes later, Liu Xiaoshan suddenly stopped.
He turned his head, put a finger to his lips, and made a "shh" gesture towards Ma Junjie.
Ma Junjie was puzzled and hadn't quite figured out what was going on.
Then, Liu Xiaoshan pointed to a door in front of him.
The door was slightly ajar, revealing a crack.
"Captain Ma, look inside," Liu Xiaoshan said in a barely audible voice.
Ma Junjie frowned, his face full of confusion.
He slowly approached the crack in the door, and as soon as he got close, he heard Zhang Qiang's voice coming from inside.
Ma Junjie immediately shuddered, cursing inwardly.
"Damn it, it's that bastard Zhang Qiang again!"
He stared wide-eyed, peering intently inside.
After scanning the room, he noticed that besides Zhang Qiang, there was also his lackey, Monkey.
There's nothing special about this, is there?
Ma Junjie was momentarily confused as to why Liu Xiaoshan had called him over in such a hurry.
He asked,
"Xiaoshan, what do you mean? What happened?"
Liu Xiaoshan frowned and shook his head repeatedly upon hearing this.
"No, no, Captain Ma, look again carefully..."
"Look at their hands..."
"In your hand?" Ma Junjie wondered, but he had no choice but to patiently continue looking inside.
Ma Junjie subconsciously looked at Zhang Qiang's hand first.
To his great disappointment, Zhang Qiang had nothing in his hands.
Ma Junjie was puzzled, wondering if Liu Xiaoshan was making a mountain out of a molehill and creating unnecessary mystery.
The performance in the concert hall isn't over yet; there's still a lot to do.
Ma Junjie decided to stop watching and go back to work.
Just as he was about to look away, he suddenly glanced at the hand of Monkey, Zhang Qiang's capable henchman beside him.
The monkey was holding a small, transparent bag, which appeared to contain white powder.
"White powder?" Ma Junjie wondered to himself, what exactly is this stuff?
Lost in thought,
Suddenly, a young man's voice was heard.
"Brother Qiang, what's the lowest price for this bag? Give me a fair price!"
Hearing the sound, Ma Junjie turned his head to look.
Only then did they realize that there were actually two young people sitting opposite Zhang Qiang, but they hadn't noticed them before because of the angle.
At this moment, Zhang Qiang's voice rang out.
"Brother, this isn't our first day in business."
"My goods are of high purity and good quality; you get what you pay for, as you know!"
"Besides, as you probably know, things are being cracked down on lately, and goods are in very short supply!"
"This bag contains 10 grams, and costs 5000 yuan, not a penny less!"
Upon hearing this, Ma Junjie's jaw dropped. 5000 yuan for 10 grams? That's more expensive than gold!
What exactly is that white powder?
He thought to himself, surely no one would be stupid enough to actually spend five thousand dollars to buy that thing, right?
However, the next second, he heard the young man sigh.
Then he took out a wad of banknotes from his bag and handed them to Zhang Qiang.
"Brother Qiang, you're ruthless!"
"Fine, I'm not going to say anything more to you. Give me the stuff!"
Zhang Qiang laughed and winked at the monkey.
"Give him the monkey!"
The young man took the small bag of powder, put it in his pocket, stood up, and walked outside.
Upon seeing this, Ma Junjie and Liu Xiaoshan quickly turned around and hid behind a wall on the side.
With a creak, the door opened, and the young man quickly left.
Ma Junjie came out again, walked to the door, and looked inside.
At this moment, the other, somewhat overweight man in the room spoke up.
"I've heard you have some good stuff here?"
Zhang Qiang grinned.
"Hehe, I have whatever you want here!"
Upon hearing this, the obese man's eyes lit up, and he said,
"Do you have anything that's more intimate or close-fitting?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Qiang and the monkey exchanged a glance and burst into laughter.
"Monkey, bring the things out."
The monkey took several items from a bag on the seat, put them in one hand, and then picked it up with its other hand.
Ma Junjie looked over.
Greatly surprised,
Because what the monkey was carrying was actually a purple bra and a lace panty.
The obese man's eyes widened in disbelief, and he kept licking his lips and swallowing.
He stammered,
"This...this is Matsushima Kaze?"
Zhang Qiang's lips curled into a smirk as he said...
"certainly!"
"This stuff is genuine, authentic, and truly original!"
"We got them all through connections, from Matsushima Kaze's assistant."
"If you want, I can also give you her autograph."
"Really?" The obese man was overjoyed.
"How much? I'll take it!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Qiang thought for a moment.
He then took the clothes from the monkey's hand, sniffed them, and...
He said with a look of utter delight,
"Brother, you seem to have good taste, so I'll give you a good deal... eight thousand!"
