My happy life in a courtyard house with triplets.

Chapter 100: The First Transaction

After saying that, the two prepared to start searching.

At that moment, Zhang Lei appeared directly behind the two men and said coldly, "You're looking for me?"

The two were startled and turned around abruptly, their faces filled with panic.

At this moment, Zhang Lei did not give the two a chance to make a move. He directly patted each of them and put them into his personal space.

Sensing that the two were definitely dead inside his personal space, Zhang Lei used the storage function to throw their bodies into a wasteland 30 meters away and erase all traces of the scene.

When he got home, he saw that Ye Shuhua was still fast asleep. Zhang Lei quietly took off his clothes and got into bed.

In the second courtyard, Tiger was giving instructions to his men about preparing gold and antiques.

He glanced around and noticed two people were missing. He immediately frowned and called out, "Where are Er Gou and Da Mao? Where did you two go?"

At this moment, a man stepped forward shakily and stammered, "Brother Tiger, I just... I just saw those two leave with the person you were talking business with."

Upon hearing this, Tiger flew into a rage, slamming his fist on the table and roaring, "What? What are those two trying to do?"

He looked down at the men and sternly ordered, "Find those two idiots right now! Bring them back! If they want to die, don't drag us down with them!"

At this moment, one of the men next to Tiger curled his lip and said with some dissatisfaction, "Tiger, is it as serious as you make it out to be? It's just keeping an eye on one person, isn't it?"

Tiger, furious at his brainless buddy beside him, pointed at his nose and yelled, "Use your dog brains! What kind of people would dare come alone, claiming they can provide so much food and meat? Do you think they have no one backing them?"

Tiger grew angrier and angrier, pointing at the men below and yelling, "Think about it again! What kind of person could just casually produce so much food and meat?"

The younger brother standing to the side chimed in angrily, "These days, people who can afford to produce these things are either rich or powerful. Who among us can afford to offend either of them? Who could possibly offend us?"

He paused, a hint of lingering fear in his voice: "He came alone, but who knows how many people he had lying in ambush around him!"

As they were talking, one of their underlings suddenly stumbled back, shouting in a panic, "Brother Tiger, Brother Tiger, something terrible has happened!"

Tiger frowned as he looked at the underling who rushed in and asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter? Why are you in such a hurry?"

The man, panting heavily and pale-faced, said, "Brother Tiger, something terrible has happened! Er Gou and Da Mao... are dead!"

Upon hearing the word "dead," everyone in the courtyard was startled, thinking to themselves, "Tiger was right, just as I predicted."

Tiger's face darkened, and he stared at the newcomer, demanding, "How did you die?"

The man shook his head vigorously and answered in a trembling voice, "I don't know. There wasn't a single trace at the scene. The person just died, like they were scared to death."

Upon hearing this, everyone found it unbelievable, their eyes filled with fear as they looked at each other. They became even more curious and afraid of Zhang Lei, the man named San Shi.

At this moment, Tiger took a deep breath, suppressing his fear, and calmly said, "Alright, no one is to tell anyone about what happened tonight. Anyone who dares to leak even a whisper will bear the consequences."

He paused, then said in a deep voice, "As for Er Gou and Da Mao, go to the accounting office and get some money to send to their two families. Also, find two more people to bury them."

Zhang Lei was unaware that, in the minds of Tiger and his brothers, his identity had become incredibly mysterious.

Meanwhile, Zhang Lei was holding Ye Shuhua, who was sleeping soundly, and was also fast asleep.

Time flew by, and soon it was time for the first transaction. Zhang Lei arrived early at the designated secluded courtyard. With a wave of his hand, a small mountain of grain and meat was piled up in the courtyard.

However, the types of meat are quite varied, including beef, mutton, fish, and chicken. The yard is full of meat, which gives it a very substantial feel.

Zhang Lei waited for about half an hour before seeing Brother Hu arrive hurriedly with dozens of his underlings, pushing several carts.

When Tiger and his gang saw the piles of grain and meat in the yard, they were all stunned. Their eyes widened and their faces were full of shock.

At this moment, Zhang Lei stepped up to Tiger and said calmly, "Tiger, have your men inspect the goods."

Tiger nodded quickly and winked at one of his underlings. The underling rushed over to the grain and meat, squatted down to examine them closely, and even smelled them.

After a long while, he suddenly raised his head, his face beaming with excitement as he ran over to Tiger Brother to report the good news: "Tiger Brother, it's all real grain and meat! We've really struck it rich this time!"

Seeing their excited expressions, Zhang Lei said, "Brother Tiger, let them weigh themselves."

Tiger waved his hand and said with a hearty expression, "Brother, I trust you."

As he spoke, he clapped his hands, and two carts covered with coarse cloth were pushed out, filled with all sorts of antiques and calligraphy.

In the corner of the cart was a heavy little box. When you opened it, you could see that it was filled with neatly stacked gold bars.

Zhang Lei looked at these things, his heart already burning with anxiety, but his face remained calm and composed, showing no emotion whatsoever.

Tiger looked at Zhang Lei and said with a smile, "Brother Sanshi, you can check the goods."

Zhang Lei shook his head and said calmly, "No need, my boss will find someone to inspect it."

Hearing Zhang Lei's words, Tiger nodded inwardly. Sure enough, this guy named San Shi was just a front man, a hired hand running errands for the boss.

The two parties quickly and happily reached an agreement and discussed the time and place for the transaction next month.

After all, doing this kind of thing is considered speculation and profiteering, so both sides are extremely cautious in their actions.

Like a cunning rabbit with three burrows, Zhang Lei naturally couldn't keep the delivery location in the same place all the time; that would make him too easy to be targeted and schemed against.

After Tiger left, Zhang Lei could no longer contain his excitement and went straight up to touch the porcelain vase and look at the calligraphy and painting.

Although he didn't know much about antiques, he could tell that these were all exquisitely crafted and high-quality items.

He was particularly fond of those heavy gold bars, holding them in his hands and stroking them repeatedly.

After looking at them for a while, Zhang Lei waved his hand and put all the gold, antiques, and calligraphy into his personal space, where he specially found a clean corner to store them separately.

Zhang Lei was secretly pleased with himself, thinking that this was a treasure he was leaving to his descendants. In this era, it could only be sold for the price of a cabbage, but in future generations, its value would skyrocket and become extremely valuable!
