Chapter 419 Moutai liquor, Daqianmen liquor, malted milk powder—buy whatever you can get!
Kyoto is right under the imperial city wall, where something new happens every day, but unfortunately, it has nothing to do with Meng Peiyu.
She listened, but only for the sake of entertainment. Now, with her status compromised, even having a meal openly at a state-run restaurant was difficult.
Meng Peiyu's expression grew increasingly grim as she listened. Inoue and Shimada, realizing they had said something wrong, quickly apologized to Meng Peiyu.
Meng Peiyu waved her hand: "Have you prepared everything I asked you to collect?"
"It's all ready, miss. It's all in the warehouse!"
"Okay, take me to get it!"
"Miss, the journey is quite long, we need to make arrangements in advance."
“Okay, set a time and then send a message to Sang Sheng.”
I will be traveling to Japan in a while. If you want to write letters to your family or bring them things, please prepare in advance.
The two intelligence chiefs exchanged a glance, both wanting to say that they also wanted to return to their country.
But they couldn't, because their relationship with Meng Peiyu had nothing to do with Japan.
Their obedience to the other party was entirely due to coercion by a mysterious force.
To carry out certain activities, such as collecting information on valuables and committing murder to pave the way.
They considered rebelling, but even the slightest thought would cause them excruciating pain, as if their skin were being peeled off and their bones were being torn apart.
After struggling with it for a while, I finally figured it out.
In any case, the tasks that Meng Peiyu asked them to do were the same as the tasks assigned to them by the Emperor.
They are clearly in the same boat, so why resort to violent resistance?
Once you understand this, you can maintain a delicate balance.
He handled matters concerning the Emperor with care, while dealing with matters concerning Meng Peiyu perfunctorily. He could also obtain information by arranging tasks for both sides.
The two secret service leaders stayed there for more than three hours before quietly slipping away in the thick of night.
Seven days later, the two found an opportunity to take Meng Peiyu to the warehouse.
The warehouse contained over a hundred boxes, all filled with gold, silver, jade, calligraphy, paintings, and antiques.
They abused their positions to replace the valuable items in the wealthy families' homes with counterfeit goods and then withheld them.
Meng Peiyu casually opened a box and was immediately dazzled by the jade inside.
Then open another box, and the pearls inside shimmer and sparkle.
Open another one, and on the pale yellow Xuan paper, a black horse gallops, with a vast expanse of misty waters and picturesque scenery in the distance.
Meng Peiyu nodded in satisfaction, sent the two away, and put her things away.
Q: Is that all?
"The others are in other provinces and cities. If you're in a hurry, we can help you buy tickets?"
Meng Peiyu, not wanting to endure any more bumpy travel, ordered, "Drive me there!"
"This..." The two wanted to refuse, but when they thought of Meng Peiyu's mysterious and unpredictable methods, they dared not.
"We need time to make arrangements!"
"Yes, try to find a cover story, and don't reveal your identity!"
Inoue Ryosuke and Shimada Yoshiki left looking embarrassed. Once they were in a secluded spot, they huddled together and complained, "Where did these monsters and demons come from? They really do whatever they want!"
"Do you have a way to get rid of her? Being controlled like this isn't sustainable!"
“What can I do unless she suddenly…” Inoue Ryosuke tilted his head, stuck out his tongue, and rolled his eyes.
"But we can't get close to her at all... Damn it, I've taken so many lives with this hand every year, yet I can't even get close to her!"
Just because you can't do it doesn't mean others can't!
The two exchanged a glance, a tacit understanding forming between them.

At the research institute, Qiao Manman was just about to leave work when she discovered a bunch of boxes in her space.
The system asked, "Did you get this from Meng Peiyu again?"
"Yes, yes, host, come in and take a look! There are so many good things here!"
Qiao Manman nodded, said goodbye to her colleagues, and went back to her dormitory to rest.
The door was locked, the curtains were drawn, and Qiao Manman slipped into the space.
Upon opening the box, she exclaimed in the same way as Meng Peiyu: "Wow, so clear! Wow, so dazzling! Wow, such exquisite details!"
After looking at more than a dozen boxes, he suddenly asked, "Where are the small yellow croakers? Why aren't there any gold items?"
"I don't know, that's all she accepted today!"
Qiao Manman was certain: "They must have been detained by someone."
He then added, "These things are worthless now; gold is the real hard currency."
"Yes, I've seen them all in sketchbooks!"
"Little Tongzi, what do you think Meng Peiyu is doing right now?"
"My merit points have accumulated to over nine thousand; does that mean I can bring her to justice?"
"Let's wait until there are over 10,000 before we make our move!"
"Then you'd better keep an eye on her and make sure she doesn't escape abroad."
"Isn't it better to flee abroad? It won't harm your own people!"
"I'm just worried that she'll absorb too much luck and I won't be able to handle her!"
"You forgot, cultivation was invented by our ancestors. That thing was created by evil cultivators, and it's completely useless abroad."
Unless she can live a peaceful and ordinary life, she'll have to come back sooner or later!
Qiao Manman was relieved: "Just keep an eye on her for me, don't let her have it too easy!"
"Yes, host, the system will definitely complete the mission!"
Qiao Manman ate a quick meal and prepared to go into the lab.
The moment he stepped out of the villa, he asked, "What did you use to replace Meng Peiyu's treasure? Won't she find out?"
"It's just icy jadeite chalcedony glass from the Tianshan Mountains, and also some pearlescent plastic beads. Anyway, it's dark, so she can't see clearly."
"Alright, alright, just be careful not to get caught by Meng Peiyu and get angry. Hehehe, I'm rich again!"
The system chuckled and put the box in the basement.
As its merit points increase, it can even help the host with tasks, hehehe!

Meng Peiyu returned to her residence and casually tossed a string of pearls to Meng Guohao: "Take this and give it to your sweetheart!"
Looking at the round beads, Meng Guohao asked in surprise, "Sister, have you struck it rich?"
"Almost there!" Meng Peiyu glanced at the box in the space subconsciously, in a good mood.
But she couldn't say she was excited, after all, during her experience in the apocalypse, she had taken all the treasures of half the planet into her spatial dimension.
I feel depressed and upset whenever I think about this.
Even though he had already become incredibly wealthy and achieved success effortlessly, he still had to sign in with that stingy system every day because of some damn heavenly rule.
The things she signed were things she had hoarded since the apocalypse.
I have no idea how she got her hands on those strange and unusual things.
"Sister, you're amazing! This bead is so big and round, it looks valuable!"
Meng Guohao's admiration awakened her from her memories.
Meng Peiyu hummed in agreement and handed him a pair of jadeite bracelets: "Give them more leverage, otherwise they might not be willing to go with you!"
"Okay, okay, thank you, sister!" Meng Guohao excitedly held the bracelet up to the moonlight. Although he couldn't see the color clearly, the smooth, moist feel made even this not-so-straight man love it.
"Sis, when are you going to take me to find Jinbao?"
Meng Peiyu thought about how she might be wandering around for the next few days, and said with a smile, "I'll go tonight!"
"Really? Sister, you're so great!" Meng Guohao exclaimed excitedly, waving his arms and legs.
Meng Peiyu was infected by his smile and started laughing too.
He gave Sang Sheng a few ten-yuan bills and told him to go to the black market to buy betrothal gifts: "Moutai liquor, Daqianmen cigarettes, malted milk powder, buy whatever you can!"
