Chapter 185 Unexpected Gain (Part 1)
"..."
Seeing Amy, whose smile froze on his face, and then unconsciously reached out to touch her chest, the corners of Leon's mouth suddenly twitched, and his toes instinctively picked at her.
In order to avoid any more serious remarks coming from inside and pushing the embarrassment at this moment to a new height, Leon quickly stood up, opened the door to his room, and took the initiative to send out an invitation:
"How about... let's come to my room and talk?"
"OK……"
After hearing Leon's invitation, the baby-faced girl with a slightly red face nodded quickly, then picked up her bag again and followed Leon into his room.
After Leon slammed the door of the room tightly and blocked a series of embarrassing keywords such as "papaya soup", "size" and "sister-in-law" from the door, Amy breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little uncomfortable. He looked at Lyon with embarrassment and said: "Mr. Lyon, when I come here this time, I actually want to invite you to my home. You rescued me from the Masseni family and are a great benefactor to our family. My parents are both." I want to meet you!
If my mother hadn’t been well and my father needed to take care of her while maintaining the company’s situation, they would have come with me this time. Please believe us, we really just want to thank you! "
"Well...I'm sorry."
Looking at Amy who was staring at him unblinkingly, with so much sincerity that it was obvious that he was sincere, Leon thought about it for a while and then refused:
"It's not that I have to refuse to be a guest, it's just that I've been a little too busy at work recently, and I don't even have to go home at night. Even after talking to Anna for a few words, I have to rush back to the office. Recently, I've been I really can’t spare the time.”
"Okay then...excuse me."
After sincerely inviting her to the door, but being rejected again, the baby-faced girl couldn't help but hang her head slightly, and a look of deep disappointment flashed across her eyes.
After clenching her fists unwillingly, she did not continue to pester and try to change Leon's mind. Instead, she raised her head again and asked expectantly: "Mr. Lyon, is there anything in your job?" How can I help? Ah! Please don't get me wrong, I don't have to force you to come to my house.
It's just... Since you have been inconvenient recently and can't accept our family's thanks in person, at least let me do what I can to help you and give us a chance to express our gratitude to you. Is this okay? "
"this……"
Looking at the baby-faced girl with a very low posture and big watery eyes full of sincerity, Leon was really too kind to refuse. After hesitating for a moment, he said:
"Recently, our bureau has been keeping an eye on the rebellious party, but those people are very difficult to catch, and the police department's Secret Investigation Bureau has no clue. If you have a way, can you help me keep an eye on them?
Hmm... ...But remember not to do anything else, just pay attention, those gangsters have something you can't fight against."
A rebel?
After hearing Leon's words, Amy blinked as if she remembered something.
After a slight hesitation, she said softly: "As for the rebels... our department store had some contact with them in the past. If you want to find them, Mr. Lyon, maybe we can really help." Gotta be busy.”
Ah, this... there is actually an unexpected gain?
After raising his eyebrows in surprise, Leon, who was originally planning to see the guest off as soon as possible, took a deep breath and then asked her to sit on the only bed in the room. He moved a small mat and sat opposite. He asked with a serious look:
"Miss Amy, could you please explain in more detail?"
"Ah? Okay!" He looked at Leon, who was sitting opposite him with a serious expression and a pair of bright and energetic eyes, staring at him closely. I don't know what happened, but the baby-faced girl was a little nervous for a moment. It feels like the hands and feet don’t fit anywhere.
Mr. Lyon...is really a capable and reliable man.
Looking at Leon with a calm expression and focused eyes in front of him, even though his clothes were very cheap, he still had a wonderful temperament that could not be ignored. Amy, who was full of admiration, could not help but bite her lower lip slightly, and then spoke:
"Mr. Lyon, ours is the largest department store in the capital. You should know this, right?"
"Yeah, and the price is also the lowest."
"Yes, and in addition to being the largest, with the lowest prices, and the widest distribution of stores, our department store also has the most complete range of goods.
As the vice-president of the Chamber of Commerce, my father had a very good relationship with the House of Commons and several departments. He was qualified to sell almost all categories of goods. Before the total ban on guns in the royal capital, he even had several small-sized guns with greatly weakened ranges. Firearms were sold in small quantities..."
After briefly talking about the characteristics of Charles Department Store, the baby-faced girl tried her best to recall: "Just before the decree to completely ban guns in the royal capital was implemented, someone took advantage of our department store before it was removed from the shelves. A total of nearly a hundred civilian nail guns were purchased in batches from more than a dozen stores.
My dad was worried that these people would come around with these weapons and affect our Charles Department Store, so he tried to investigate. Then he was shocked to find that in addition to these firearms, this group of suspicious people had already done something to our family. Been in business for many years. "
Many years of business?
Leon frowned and said:
"Are these people gangsters? Does it mean they bought a lot of nail guns in your Charles Department Store?"
“There aren’t really many nail guns.”
Amy shook her head when she heard this and said: "My father is very cautious. Even though the profit from selling firearms is not bad, he has never distributed goods on a large scale. He only retains a small number of goods in some stores where the situation is very stable. Several counters.
What those people really buy are all kinds of common supplies, such as seasonal clothing, oil, salt, sugar and wine, quilts and blankets, food utensils and the like.
And it’s not just once or twice, it’s a long-term and continuous hidden purchase, twice a year for clothes and the like, one to two months for oil and salt, and a large amount of fresh ingredients every week. "
After finishing talking about Old Charles's discovery, he glanced at Leon who was looking across from him, and then Amy, who was sitting on the bed, said:
"So far, these people have not stopped buying. My father counted the quantity of these supplies and found that it can almost support seven to eight hundred people to maintain a normal life. In the most six months, it even reached a thousand people.
The scary thing is that these little thousand people never attracted any attention. If they hadn't suddenly purchased a large number of nail guns before the gun ban, which attracted my father's attention, no one would have discovered their existence. .
After my father discovered the anomaly, although he did not have in-depth contact with them out of caution, he still guessed the identities of this group of people after comparing the news about the chaotic party activities and the changes in their material consumption. "
