Dream Capture: I Can See Through All Secrets!

84: 84. TransactionsAt 4 PM, Lu Hu’s Mercedes slowly drove into the villa area. As soon as he pushed open the car door, he saw his wife walking out, carrying an Hermes bag.

”Going to play mahjong again?” Lu Hu loosened his tie, his brows furrowed into a knot.

”Ah Min organized a game. I won’t be back for dinner tonight.” His wife walked towards the garage without looking back.

Lu Hu grabbed her wrist, ”What else do you do all day besides playing mahjong?!”

The woman was enraged by his words. She violently shook off his hand and retorted, ”You’re deliberately trying to pick a fight, aren’t you, Lu Hu? If you hadn’t begged me to marry you back then, would I need to suffer in your house? You don’t even earn much money. My girlfriends travel abroad every day, covered in luxury goods. And me? I only have a few bags and a bit of jewelry. You’ve already embarrassed me enough, and now you’re complaining about me?”

Lu Hu’s temples throbbed. Wasn’t it his food factory that this woman was after in the first place? Now she was complaining that he earned too little?

Lu Hu’s head ached from her words, and he waved his hand, urging her to leave quickly.

The woman glared at him, extending a hand painted with red nail polish, and said, ”Give me ten thousand yuan. I need it for mahjong.”

Lu Hu cursed under his breath, opened his wallet, took out a stack of money, and shoved it at her without counting.

”That’s more like it. Oh, and your son studying abroad also told you to send him money quickly.”

With that, the woman left happily.

Lu Hu returned to the living room sofa, slammed his fist on the coffee table, making the teacups clatter. ”Damn it, once I earn more, I’m definitely divorcing this woman.”

Thinking of this, he picked up his phone, opened the monitoring software, and wondered if Lu Zezhou’s family had fallen on hard times yet. He wanted all their luck and wealth to transfer to him quickly.

Through his headphones, he heard his sister-in-law stir-frying, and that kid Lu Feng talking about ”making some money from stocks.”

He sneered, ”That little bastard is back too?”

Lu Hu was still somewhat wary of his nephew’s methods. He didn’t know how it happened before, but he had actually caused his second brother Lu Dahai’s family to be ruined. Even now, recalling it, he still felt a lingering fear.

That kid had completely changed!

However, after listening for a while, besides some trivial family matters, there was nothing else. This made him frown.

Why hadn’t the expert’s Pixiu taken effect yet?

He immediately called the expert, lowering his voice, ”Master, it’s been several days, why is there still no effect?”

The voice on the other end of the phone carried a hint of otherworldly wisdom, saying, ”Patron, do not be anxious. For consecrated items, we only need to be sincere and wait for them to take effect. Moreover, I observe that your philtrum is full and rosy recently, indicating that good fortune will clearly befall you soon.”

”Master, is what you say true?! I have good fortune coming?”

The Master slowly said, ”Of course, Patron, you can rest assured. Recently, everything will go smoothly for you. You can confidently and boldly undertake anything.”

”Thank you for your guidance, Master! I understand!”

After hanging up the phone, Lu Hu impatiently ran to the bathroom to look in the mirror. He looked left and right, and the more he looked, the rosier he felt he appeared. His mood also brightened considerably, and he even began to anticipate what good things might happen.

Just then, his phone vibrated, and a message arrived with only a few short words.

”Tonight, the usual spot.”

Lu Hu quickly deleted the message, a smile unconsciously curving his lips.

This was his special supplier. The other party had a channel to deliver some overseas frozen products at a quarter of the market price.

These frozen products, dubbed ”foreign garbage,” certainly wouldn’t pass inspection through legitimate channels, so Lu Hu also guessed that the other party might be involved in smuggling.

Although the goods were not inspected or quarantined, and some meat even turned green and moldy, after bleaching treatment, who could tell?

Lu Hu didn’t care about quality; as long as he could buy them at a low price, process them simply, and then sell them at a high price, the profits were enough for him to go against his conscience.

”In this world, you can’t make money with a conscience,” he said with a triumphant smile.

At this moment, a thought suddenly struck him. Could the good fortune the Master spoke of be related to his career? His factory’s order volume had indeed increased significantly recently.

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became!

At six in the evening, Lu Hu went to the bank to withdraw 300,000 yuan in cash. The black briefcase was heavy, filled with his ”conscience.”

He had to go to every transaction in person. After paying, the other party would accompany him to transport the frozen goods back to the factory. The entire process was known to no one else. Of course, the other party also wore a mask and never showed his true face.

As he drove, Lu Hu always felt something was off, but he couldn’t quite place it.

”The usual spot is at the abandoned fertilizer factory in the suburbs... Hmm, logically, I should have driven there many times, but why does it still feel a bit unfamiliar...”

The navigation showed two kilometers remaining, but the scenery outside the window became increasingly desolate.

Lu Hu found his memory a bit blurry, but he didn’t think much of it, as the transaction time was approaching.

By the time he drove to the location, night had fallen, and the silhouette of the abandoned fertilizer factory was faintly visible in the moonlight.

Lu Hu parked his car in front of Warehouse No. 7, got out with the box full of cash, looked around, and seeing a faint light inside, he hurried over. Then, as agreed, he knocked on the door with three long and two short taps.

The knocking echoed in the empty factory area. Before long, the rusty iron door opened halfway, revealing a man wearing a baseball cap and a black mask.

Through the crack in the door, Lu Hu saw a van parked inside.

”So early?” the man in the baseball cap asked in a hoarse voice.

Lu Hu forced a smile and said, ”The early bird catches the worm.”

The other party didn’t smile, cautiously looking behind Lu Hu. Seeing no abnormalities, he lowered his voice and asked, ”Did you bring the money?”

Lu Hu picked up the box, patted it, and retorted, ”The money’s here, where’s the goods?”

The man in the baseball cap pointed to the license-plate-less van behind him and said, ”The goods are there. Money for goods. Give me the money.”

Lu Hu shook his head, ”Brother, it’s not that I don’t trust you, but I need to inspect the goods first.”

”Alright!”

The other party didn’t refuse, opening the door completely to let him in.

Lu Hu slowly walked in. The empty warehouse was messy, and the warm yellow lights flickered. Only then did he see two other people standing by the van, also dressed in black and wearing black masks.

Lu Hu shook his head, speechless, muttering to himself, ”Why does this look like a gang deal?”
