Looking at the middle-aged woman’s red eyes, the female worker smiled in understanding.
"Madam, once you have finished selecting your goods, you may proceed to the counter to pay. I wish you a pleasant shopping experience."
After saying that, the female worker left to assist other custors.
Watching everything from the carriage, Bai Hanyun muttered in satisfaction, "This Master He even understands the concept of a supermarket. He really is the right choice to manage the store."
Sitting beside her, Feng Xiyan leaned forward and looked out the window.
Seeing the long lines outside, he thought for a mont before saying, "I will send a team of soldiers to help maintain order, just in case soone causes trouble later."
Hearing this, Bai Hanyun turned around. Before she could speak, her eyes t Feng Xiyan’s shocked gaze. Realizing that their lips had brushed against each other, Bai Hanyun’s face flushed instantly.
Just as she was about to pull away, Feng Xiyan held her waist and pulled her closer. He lowered his head and then kissed her lightly while staring into Bai Hanyun’s eyes.
Seeing that she was too shocked to react, he reached toward the hand she was using to lift the curtain.
Holding her hand, he slowly released her hold on the curtain. As the curtain fell, the corner of Feng Xiyan’s lips curved upward, and he deepened the kiss.
A few minutes later, Bai Hanyun could no longer endure his attack and punched Feng Xiyan’s chest.
"Mmh! Mmh!" She protested while gasping for breath.
Sensing her protest, Feng Xiyan reluctantly released her and stared into her eyes.
eting his dark gaze, Bai Hanyun suddenly felt a bad premonition. Shuddering inwardly, she thought, ’Why is he looking at like he wants to eat alive? I’d better keep my distance from him until he calms down.’
As if he could read her thoughts, Feng Xiyan leaned closer and whispered into her ear, "Yun’er, I can’t wait to marry you. When will you let take one step closer to you?"
Hearing this, Bai Hanyun blushed harder as she turned her head away.
Before she could reply, a soldier rushed toward the carriage. Standing by the window, he clasped his fists and reported, "Miss Bai, Young Master Hua has returned and wishes to et you."
Inside the carriage, Feng Xiyan’s expression darkened at the interruption.
Pushing him away, Bai Hanyun patted her hot cheek, hoping to reduce her blush. After taking a deep breath, she lifted the curtain and said, "I will arrive shortly. Please ask Brother Hua to wait for a mont."
"Yes, Miss Bai." Receiving the answer, the soldier left to inform Hua Yuyu.
After the soldier left, Bai Hanyun called out, "Xiao Cui."
Walking up to the carriage, Xiao Cui bowed and asked, "Miss Bai, what are your instructions?"
Bai Hanyun handed her a small wooden box. "This is my gift for Master He. Tell him I can’t go inside because of an ergency, but let him know that I’m very satisfied with his work."
Accepting the small wooden box, Xiao Cui replied, "Yes, Miss Bai."
After watching Xiao Cui enter the store, Bai Hanyun lowered the window’s curtain and instructed, "Go to the garrison."
Sitting in the driver’s seat, the coachman replied, "Yes, Miss Bai."
As the wooden wheels rolled forward, the sun slowly climbed higher in the sky, and the reputation of the Bai Feng Grain and Grocery Store spread throughout Xiqiang City and its surrounding areas like a wildfire.
Unlike the bustling activity outside, Hua Yuyu and the others were busy assembling the broadcasting and receiver towers inside the garrison.
By the ti Bai Hanyun arrived, they had already finished assembling all the towers and were in the middle of checking the military drones and firearms.
Looking at the tables and floor filled with equipnt and weapons, Bai Hanyun asked, "Brother Hua, are you planning to destroy a country?"
Hearing this, Hua Yuyu and the others stopped what they were doing and looked toward the entrance.
Seeing her walk in together with Feng Xiyan, Hua Yuyu chuckled and replied, "These firearms are gifts from CEO Gui."
Raising her brows slightly, Bai Hanyun said, "I just sent him back last night. How could he have given you these firearms? Besides, where did he get these weapons from?"
Smiling faintly, Hua Yuyu replied, "It was actually a coincidence. Miss Bai, do you rember the black market we visited in Shang Du City?"
Bai Hanyun nodded, and Hua Yuyu continued, "The only place to buy military drones and towers is the black market, so I went there to try my luck."
"Who would have thought that when I went there last night, the owner of the black market was also there for an inspection? By chance, I t the owner and found out that the person behind the black market is CEO Gui."
Recalling the mont he saw Gui Xiaoxu there, Hua Yuyu couldn’t help but add, "I never expected the owner of Bu Gui Pavilion to be CEO Gui."
Hearing this, Bai Hanyun suddenly realized sothing. "Wait a mont. Brother Hua, are you saying that the owner of Bu Gui Pavilion is CEO Gui?"
Hua Yuyu nodded. "Yes."
Taking a sharp breath, Bai Hanyun’s eyes widened as she asked in shock, "Then... isn’t he the one who sent assassins to kill before?!"
The mont her words fell, Feng Xiyan’s expression darkened, and a murderous aura surged out of him, causing the temperature in the room to drop by several degrees.
Noticing this, Hua Yuyu hurriedly explained, "It was a misunderstanding. Miss Bai, although Bai Yansheng tried to hire Bu Gui Pavilion to assassinate you, CEO Gui rejected the request. That’s why Bai Yansheng turned to Xue Wu Gang instead."
"The assassination attempts were carried out by Xue Wu Gang, which was controlled by CEO Gui’s second paternal uncle."
Letting out a sigh of relief, Bai Hanyun said, "I rember hearing about Xue Wu Gang before."
Hua Yuyu nodded. "Yes. After their assassination attempt failed, Xue Wu Gang was destroyed by Bu Gui Pavilion. I heard from Renyi that the police arrested the remaining mbers thanks to Bai Yansheng’s case."
