Ni Hui was also in a dilemma, so after she agreed, she dawdled and didn't set off for Hai City. But it didn't matter, Zhuang Bimei quickly raised the price by 10%. This time, Young Master Mei couldn't sit still and asked Ni Hui to go to Hai City for a talk.
"Husband, can't we close a few branches first? After all, we've made a lot of money."
Ni Hui still didn't want to go to Hai City, because it was very dangerous there. In fact, they only needed to reduce the sales, and it wouldn't be so difficult, so she suggested closing a few branches.
"What do you mean? How dare you ask me to close the shop? Are you thinking of your Arré again?"
Young Master Mei's attitude was very bad, as if he was about to hit someone. Their Mei family's business was so big, how could they close it just like that? Zhuang Bimei's relationship with Zhuang Bimei in Hai City was actually from Arré. Now that Ni Hui was unwilling to negotiate the price with Zhuang Bimei, one couldn't help but wonder if she felt sorry for Arré again.
In fact, when she saw Arré locked in the dungeon with his collarbone pierced, Ni Hui was also very distressed. But thinking of the power and status of Young Master Mei's family, and thinking of the superior life in the inner city, she finally didn't help Arré, nor did she dare to release him secretly. Now that it was done, she might as well continue to be heartless.
"Okay, then I'll go."
Ni Hui really couldn't persuade him, so she had to go to Hai City. When she set off, she was still on tenterhooks, fearing that she would be found out when she entered the city. After all, the Murlocs were the great enemies of human cultivators and primitive gods. The conflict between them and the Demon Gods and Devil Gods wasn't so deep.
But she didn't encounter any obstacles from leaving Hai Emperor City to entering the gate of Hai City. She went in smoothly and even met the boss of the supplier, Zhuang Bimei.
"Madam Lei, you're here. Is Boss Arré all right?"
Zhuang Bimei chatted politely with Ni Hui and asked about Arré's situation. He addressed Arré as boss, which surprised Ni Hui. She could imagine that Du Feng's status in Hai City must be very high. Otherwise, Mr. Zhuang would not be so polite to Arré, let alone to her.
Ni Hui was slightly taken aback by Zhuang Piusi's question, but she quickly adjusted her emotions. She could not say that something had happened to Arré, nor could she say that he had been imprisoned in the dungeon by Master Mei. Once this secret was leaked, she wouldn't be able to leave Hai City alive, and they would definitely avenge Arré.
After all, Zhuang Biusi and the others were residents of Sea God City. They might not be able to deal with Young Master Mei from Sea God City's inner city, but dealing with a fishwoman like her was not a problem.
"Arré is doing well. Since Mr. Du took care of him, he has been practicing martial arts recently."
"By the way, how is Mr. Du?"
Ni Hui was quite shrewd. She heard that Du Feng died in the previous disaster, but there was no definite news, so she wanted to inquire about it. If Du Feng was really dead, then everything would be fine, and she could continue to pretend. But if Du Feng was not dead, then she had to be careful. If Du Feng went back to Sea God City to look for Arré and couldn't find him, she would definitely ask.
"You mean our Mr. Du, he went out for a long time and hasn't come back."
When Zhuang Biusi said this, his expression seemed a little strange, as if he had been exposed. Of course, this was Du Feng's order, because he was in Hai City at this time, and he was monitoring Ni Hui from the next room, to see how this woman would lie about Arré.
"Oh, so that's how it is."
Ni Hui already knew in her heart that Du Feng hadn't come back for a long time, so there was an 80% chance that he had died outside. Since he was dead, this matter would be much easier to deal with. However, she saw that Zhuang Biusi's expression was not quite right. Was it because Mr. Du was dead, so he wanted to embezzle the goods here and control all the shops under Du Feng?
Maybe it was because Du Feng hadn't appeared for a long time, so Zhuang Biusi suddenly raised the price of Arré's goods.
"Our Arré said that he would come to play with Mr. Du after a period of time."
Ni Hui said this first, because she wanted to see Zhuang Biusi's reaction. If he was afraid, she would continue to talk about the price reduction. After all, this was Du Feng's shop, and she believed that Zhuang Biusi was not sure. However, as soon as she said this, a voice came from outside the door.
"Really? Is Brother Arré coming to see me?"
Then Du Feng walked in from the door. Ni Hui was scared out of her wits by his appearance. Didn't they say that he died in the last disaster? Didn't they say that he had been out for a long time? What the hell was going on? Why was a living person standing in front of her, and he was so energetic?
Not only was Du Feng particularly energetic, but his Cultivation and strength had also improved a lot. It didn't look like he had encountered a disaster at all, but more like he had made a fortune.
"Brother Du, you are here. Just now Boss Zhuang said that you had gone out."
Ni Hui pretended to be calm and took the initiative to greet Du Feng.
"I went out for training. I just came back and saw you coming."
Since Ni Hui lied, Du Feng also lied. She pretended to know nothing and see how this woman would continue to make up.
"By the way, just now you said that Brother Arré would come to see me. Is it true? When will he come?"
Du Feng's words stunned Ni Hui. Because she couldn't tell when Arré would come to Sea City. Arré couldn't come at all. He was locked in the dungeon of Young Master Mei's mansion and couldn't move at all. His whole body was covered with cuts and bruises, and he kept bleeding. If it weren't for the strong physique of a Beastman, he would have died by now.
"He … he is practicing in seclusion. It may take a while."
When Ni Hui said this, she was actually a little panicked, but she had to pretend to be calm.
"Really? Is he practicing in seclusion, or was he framed?"
At this point, Du Feng's face suddenly changed, which scared Ni Hui half to death. What was going on? Did he already know the truth? Impossible. If he already knew, why didn't he do anything? Besides, didn't he just come back from training? Even Boss Zhuang didn't know that he was back. It should be fine.
"No, it's nothing. Arré has recently made great progress. Thanks to your care."
It had to be said that this woman's mental quality was quite good. She could still be strong and calm at this time. But Du Feng's acting was also very good. He immediately became amiable again.
"I see. My brother Arré is practicing in seclusion. It seems that you are taking care of the shop. It's really hard on you."
"By the way, you just said what about the supply price?"
Du Feng changed the topic and suddenly talked about the supply price. This was the main reason why Ni Hui came this time.
