Over here, they shoved Tan Shaoting out of the car. Once inside the house, a man came down from upstairs.

Tan Shaoting squinted slightly; he had seen this man last year and figured that he must be the farm owner who didn’t have good relations with Ivanov.

A man snatched the bag from Tan Shaoting’s hand.

But when they opened it, they were furious—it was empty.

A very ill-tempered man stormed over to Tan Shaoting angrily.

He had already checked. There were only five of them here, which made things very simple.

So when the man made a move, Tan Shaoting fought back.

In just a moment, all five of them were knocked down by Tan Shaoting.

He asked in the local language about those two people.

Seeing their hesitant demeanor, Tan Shaoting knew that the two comrades were no longer in this world.

The five of them pleaded to be spared, but how could Tan Shaoting allow that? He dealt with them easily.

Using Divine Sense, he scanned the area and found the location of their money, which was all together. Had they not exchanged it yet?

They must have been wary of trouble. So, Tan Shaoting waved his hand and collected it all. He also found firearms and ammunition.

As for the five men, he didn’t care about them at all. After all, it couldn’t be traced back to him.

He found the keys and went to the warehouse where the farm’s harvest for the year was kept.

He gathered everything from the warehouse.

He went outside and collected the car as well, and also collected more than twenty barrels of gasoline from a room.

Fortunately, the Storage Ring was large, but after all this, only a third of the space was left.

When he stepped outside, he felt something was off—leaving so openly wouldn’t work.

So he went back to the farm. He decided to wait until nightfall before leaving.

He used Divine Sense to search and collect anything valuable.

Indeed, he discovered many ores concealed within the walls.

These were transparent and looked quite beautiful. The fact they were hidden so secretly meant they must be of great value.

So he simply destroyed the wall and collected them.

There was really nothing else. So he found a room and waited for it to get dark.

By this time, no one would come to the farm anyway.

The four people who had brought him here had also avoided being seen.

After night fell, Tan Shaoting collected the two comrades’ bodies and drove away. Initially, he felt very awkward, but after driving for a while, he adjusted.

Without entering the city, he went directly to the train station, dropped off the two people, and then left. He collected the car and walked into the city, heading straight to Ivanov’s house.

"Tan Shaoting, why are you back so late?"

"Sorry, I went too far earlier.

How did it go? Is there a farm owner willing to sell us wheat?"

"Only one. They can only give you a hundred thousand pounds."

Tan Shaoting nodded. "Thank you very much." Fortunately, he already collected a lot; he just didn’t know when Su Yuanyuan would arrive and how to plan accordingly.

"Tan Shaoting, I’ll keep looking and negotiating with them tomorrow."

"Thank you. I’ll also go out tomorrow and see if I can arrange for some meat from the slaughterhouses here."

There were many slaughterhouses in the city. Tan Shaoting inquired at each one, and the prices were about the same. Since it was difficult to get grain openly now, settling for some meat was also an option.

So in the afternoon, Tan Shaoting borrowed a truck and bought another hundred pigs from a few other places. These places had more lard and hanging fat.

He collected all of this into his space. The bulk order from the first place would be transported back first.

At night, he returned the truck and went back to Ivanov’s house.

This was a fruitful day; they secured a deal for a hundred thousand pounds of grain.

Now there were already two hundred thousand pounds, waiting for Su Yuanyuan to come back and decide.

Meanwhile, Su Yuanyuan was collecting from the fourth farm. There were already forty thousand pounds in space.

She estimated that Tan Shaoting had probably already reached the location. She just didn’t know how things were going.

In fact, she was quite worried since both of them were now out of communication.

So she decided that after finishing up this area, she would hurry over.

This time, she hopped on a train again. Before reaching the station, she jumped off. Luckily, it was nighttime; otherwise, with such a densely populated area, it wouldn’t have been good to be spotted.

An hour later, she arrived at Ivanov’s house. Ivanov, who opened the door, was quite surprised.

"Sorry to disturb you."

"No problem, please come in; it’s too cold outside."

Seeing Su Yuanyuan return safely, Tan Shaoting finally felt at ease.

He said something to Ivanov and then pulled Su Yuanyuan into the room.

Originally planning to arrange a room for them, Ivanov shrugged and returned to his own room.

"How was it? Was it safe all the way?"

"Everything’s fine, rest assured. This time there’s a harvest of over forty thousand pounds. How did it go on your side?"

Tan Shaoting whispered the events at the farm into Su Yuanyuan’s ear.

"Tomorrow, let’s go find Hu Wenzheng and ask him what to do with this money. If he lets us bring in grain, then we’ll give the grain and keep the money."

"Things didn’t go very smoothly here with Ivanov. We’ve only just secured twenty thousand pounds of wheat."

Su Yuanyuan nodded. "Let’s see how things go tomorrow and then decide."

"Hmm, that works. You should get some rest now."

Early the next morning, the two went to find Hu Wenzheng.

"Thank you, Tan Shaoting." Who would have thought a young guy like him could take down five men, and since there hasn’t been any uproar, it means the incident hasn’t been discovered yet.

"You both have worked hard. If possible, convert all this money into grain and meat."

"Let’s start loading the trucks tomorrow morning. You can arrange the people to load the trucks."

The two returned to Ivanov’s place; he hadn’t gone out today.

"Sir, when should we start loading the trucks?"

"The farm is waiting for our message."

"How about the day after tomorrow?"

"Okay, the day after tomorrow. I’ll notify the first supplier."

With just the two of them left at home, they started packaging the wheat.

Good heavens, this farm couldn’t be too big, or maybe most of the grain had already been sold. After packaging, they realized there were over thirty thousand pounds.

"Tomorrow, let’s borrow two trucks and do it together."

After using her Divine Sense intensively for a while, Su Yuanyuan only felt a little discomfort packing wheat this time.

"This time, we need ninety thousand pounds of wheat. There’s still a shortfall of forty thousand pounds."

"Let’s have Ivanov do it; give him two days to find it."

The two of them finalized the plan and borrowed vehicles early the next morning, pledging quite a bit of money but managing to secure two trucks.

Both trucks set off together, first leaving the city. Each truck was loaded with ten tons, which amounted to twenty thousand pounds, making a total of forty thousand pounds for the two of them.

The two arrived at the train station and started loading the trucks.

Once the first truck was emptied, Tan Shaoting drove it away. After that, Su Yuanyuan didn’t go over since there were inspections and weighting involved.
