Having barely returned from Ghost Gate, Qu Xiangnan naturally dared not act recklessly anymore and quickly spoke up.
"Sir, the area around Jiujie Mountain is relatively stable in terms of supply for us at Sunset City. Every so often, we bring in a batch of goods from there. We have business dealings with Bai Fang City, Rolling Bone City, and even smaller villages like Xiaojie Village and Jiyuan Village... the most recent batch of goods was bought about a month or two ago..."
When Qu Xiangnan ntioned those place nas, he sneaked a glance at Fang Yu's expression.
Unexpectedly, this small action was caught by Fang Yu, turning the scene into a mont where their eyes t directly, frightening Qu Xiangnan into stuttering.
A month or two ago...
The timing seems a bit delicate.
Fang Yu squinted his eyes and looked at Qu Xiangnan.
"What about the procurent ti of the previous batch of goods?"
As soon as this question was asked, it was as if Qu Xiangnan realized sothing and quickly replied.
"Sir, Jiujie Mountain is quite far away, and for such relatively remote supply channels, we only procure goods once every half a year or even a year..."
Qu Xiangnan's words seed sincere, but Fang Yu wasn't buying it.
"There should be a ledger for business transactions, right? Show your accounts."
Qu Xiangnan instantly looked distressed.
"Sir, our Qu Gang conducts business in such a way that bookkeeping is impossible."
"Do you know how many people were in that batch of goods? How many are still remaining with your Qu Gang, and to which custors were they sold?"
These three questions were difficult for Qu Xiangnan to answer.
He swallowed hard and said.
"Sir, there were about a hundred people in that batch. Divided among us, only a little over thirty are left with the Qu Gang. There should still be seven or eight individuals remaining with us... As for which custors they were sold to, I am not aware..."
Fang Yu slightly frowned.
The 'goods' have been shared out.
That would make investigating even more troubleso.
From the intelligence provided by the Dark Eagle Organization, Fang Yu could guess which people divided those goods. However, for now, it was not urgent to handle those two organizations. First, he needed to deal with the Qu Gang.
"Qu Gang Leader is not being honest; the people were sold from your side. How could you not know to whom they were sold? Or perhaps, Qu Gang Leader needs a little help from to recall?"
Fang Yu initially thought he would need to use so ans, but unexpectedly, Qu Xiangnan swiftly fell to his knees.
"Sir! Let's talk it over! So custors I do rember, but there are still so casual custors that I really don't know who the buyers are. Those casual custors are inherently transient; they might have left Sunset City after buying the goods that day. Once out of Sunset City gates, how can my small Qu Gang compel anyone..."
"Nonsense!"
Fang Yu shouted loudly!
"In your dealings, didn't you conduct background checks before selecting buyers? If just anyone who cos can purchase from you, then your Qu Gang couldn't have survived so long in Sunset City."
Qu Xiangnan started to sweat.
"Sir, you might not be aware, this is how business operates in Sunset City. If they can pay, the person can be taken away on the spot."
Everything progresses from non-standard to standard.
Like the Qu Gang, they have now begun engaging in familiar business, gathering regularly under the guise of taking concubines to conduct transactions.
But during those days of wild growth, this line of business was marked by its freedom and laxity.
Even now, so operational habits have yet to beco standardized.
But this does not affect the continued expansion of their Qu Gang.
Because no one cos to investigate them in Sunset City.
The so-called 'official office,' the Foolish Underworld, is insignificant in Sunset City. Several influential families and Daoist Temples even turn a blind eye to this; so rich young folks are even regular custors of his side, casually buying a slave to bring ho and play with.
Thus, the business of the Qu Gang, strictly speaking, is still like an amateur troupe, far less ticulous than what the master in front of them would imagine.
Fang Yu followed up with a few more inquiries, and under the threat of breaking the third leg of his opposition, Qu Xiangnan was frightened into putting on clothes, leaving the room, and leading the way ahead.
Qu Xiangnan's corpulent body moved ahead, while Fang Yu stuck close, pressing a dagger against his back, whispering.
"Rember my words; you can try to see if your voice is faster or my sword is faster."
A Wood Realm Expert is very quick in action, Qu Xiangnan didn't know.
He only knew he absolutely couldn't dodge.
Thus, Qu Xiangnan complied very well.
Whatever the other asked, he answered.
If the other wanted to see those slaves, he'd lead the way.
"Gang Leader!"
"Gang Leader!"
The underlings guarding the Underground Secret Room imdiately saluted when they saw Qu Xiangnan coming.
Their gaze fell on Fang Yu, who was trailing Qu Xiangnan, only glanced briefly before looking away.
Naturally, they assud Fang Yu was a distinguished guest, co to inspect the goods.
After all, just earlier, several other custors had gone down to verify the goods.
But this person, getting the gang leader to personally attend to him, must be a major client.
Thinking of this, the guards straightened their stance to avoid future bla from the gang leader for any mishandled business, potentially implicating them.
Such as having fierce looks that scare off custors or displaying improper posture that makes custors feel the Qu Gang is unprofessional in its dealings...
