The woman hugged the child to her chest, crying with joy, “Good Xiao Bao!”

Chu Xujin shouted, “Arrest them all!”

The old woman, the old man, and the two couples tried to blend into the crowd, attempting to escape out of guilt.

Chu Xujin hadn’t specified whom to arrest, but their guilty conscience had given them away, leading to their capture.

The plainclothes constables quickly apprehended the suspects.

Seeing no way to escape, one of the men suddenly turned and grabbed Chu Xujin from behind, holding a dagger to his neck, “Move aside, let me go, or I’ll kill him.”

As he spoke, he pressed the dagger against Chu Xujin’s neck, drawing a line of blood.

Chu Qingzhi, who was showcasing a tray of pearls, picked one up and flicked it with her finger, hitting the man right between the eyes, knocking him unconscious.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Flicking a pearl from such a distance to knock someone out was impressive. Everyone was stunned, their eyes filled with disbelief.

Chu Qingzhi, beautiful, capable, and skilled in martial arts, rose even higher in their estimation…

Meanwhile, Ge Lihua engaged in a fight with the woman.

The woman, with a fierce look, drew a dagger from her boot and slashed at Ge Lihua’s neck.

Ge Lihua leaned back, spinning around with incredible flexibility to get behind the woman, then struck her on the back.

The woman stumbled forward from the pain.

Ge Lihua kicked her down, and a kind-hearted bystander offered a rope. Ge Lihua took it and tied up the woman.

The other conspirators were also captured one by one.

The crowd burst into applause, “Well done, well done…”

“Human traffickers are despicable, recruiting so many people to act as the child’s family to deceive us.”

“Yes, I really believed them; it was so convincing.”

“We must be more careful in the future.”

Everyone was relieved and etched this event in their memory.

The traffickers were sent to prison, and their capture brought great satisfaction. As the news spread, another wave of people flowed into Guangxi Garden, reaching the afternoon’s climax.

At the inn.

Li Changle swept all the teacups off the table in a rage, “Failed?”

Xia Wei knelt on the floor, her knees quickly bleeding from the broken teacup shards, “Forgive me, Princess, forgive me!”

Li Changle was not easily appeased and began whipping Xia Wei mercilessly, “Useless, you can’t even handle such a simple task!”

Xia Wei initially remained kneeling but was soon beaten to the ground, writhing in pain and crying out for mercy, “Please stop, Princess, spare my life!”

Exhausted from whipping, Li Changle ordered, “Get out!”

Xia Wei scrambled away from Li Changlc’s room, her eyes filled with hatred.

Li Changle sat down, grinding her teeth in frustration, her expression twisted. Repeatedly failing against Chu Qingzhi led her to seriously doubt herself.

As Chu Qingzhi’s clear and melodious voice ended, she had showcased all 300 items.

The dancers left the stage, and Chu Qingzhi moved to the center, “Thank you all for your support. The product showcase ends here, thank you.”

The audience applauded loudly.

Chu Qingzhi stepped off the stage and returned to the backstage room, telling the dancers, “You’ve worked hard. I’ll have someone pay you shortly.”

The leading dancer smiled and said, “Thank you, Miss Chu.”

Chu Qingzhi nodded at her and then sat down in a chair, feeling very tired.

A cup of pear juice appeared in front of her…

The hand holding the cup had long, straight, and strong fingers. Chu Qingzhi followed the hand up the arm and finally rested her gaze on Tang Jinghong’s handsome face. She touched his face, then took the cup, smiling, “Thanks.” Tang Jinghong pulled up a chair opposite her, “What’s the plan next?”

Chu Qingzhi replied lazily, “Dinner.”

Tang Jinghong suggested, “How about we eat at the restaurant? Shall I make arrangements?”

“Okay.”

Tang Jinghong stood up, ruffled Chu Qingzhi’s hair with a smile, and left.

Chu Qingzhi stretched out and relaxed, slowly sipping her pear juice.

Chu Xuhua knocked and entered, “Fifth sister.”

“Big brother, have a seat,” Chu Qingzhi asked caringly, “How was business today?”

“Very good,” Chu Xuhua beamed, “We made over two hundred deals today. Just as you advised, once we exceeded the day’s supply capacity, we extended the delivery time.”

Chu Qingzhi affirmed, “Well done, big brother.”

Chu Xuhua laughed, “It’s all thanks to your guidance. Otherwise, I would have just accepted all orders without considering the consequences and ended up unable to fulfill them.”

After mutually affirming each other, Chu Xuhua mentioned Zhou Yunlin coming to discuss business, “Sister, that man said he was from the richest family in Daling. I’m wary of deceit, so I haven’t agreed to cooperate yet.”

Big brother, no rush. I’ll join you the day after tomorrow to talk,” Chu Qingzhi suggested, seeing an opportunity to ride the wave of success with the richest family.

Chu Xuhua nodded. “I’ll listen to you.”

Li Qingyu entered, joyful, “Xuhua, Qingzhi, we sold out again.”

Chu Xuhua immediately offered his chair, “Mother, please sit and rest.”

“Hmm,” Li Qingyu sat down, looking expectantly at Chu Qingzhi, “Qingzhi, are we selling again tonight?”

Chu Qingzhi got up to pour Li Qingyu a cup of water, “Mother, you’ve been selling all day. Wiry not rest and enjoy the garden?”

Li Qingyu waved her hand, refusing, “I’m not tired. If the garden is still open, I want to keep selling tonight.”

Well, she’s addicted to making money.

Chu Qingzhi decided to go along with Li Qingyu’s wish, “Then I’ll send the eagle back to send a message and have Li Zhangjie arrange for more goods to be delivered.”

Li Zhangjie, now in charge at home, had been training with Chu Xuhua and was capable of handling things on his own.

Li Qingyu nodded with a smile, “Okay.”

As the last rays of the sun fell behind the western hills, the moon’s outline appeared faintly, and the early stars twinkled brilliantly in the sky.

The garden’s lights were lit one by one, under eaves, trees, and stalls. The lanterns varied in style, with exquisite palace lanterns, lifelike animal lanterns, auspicious lotus lanterns, dancing fairy lanterns, bright red neon lights, and colorful peacock lanterns, resembling a lantern festival.

Even the lake surface was adorned with lotus lanterns of various sizes, complementing the many lotus leaves, enhancing the scene.

Soon, the entire Guangxi Garden was immersed in a world of lights.

The brilliance of the lights and the buzz of voices filled the air..
