Back to the 1970s: Building My Fortune Through Time Trading-Chapter 440: Stun Baton Confiscated

Before the person could even see the situation in the room clearly, they heard someone beside them say, "Hey!"

He instinctively turned his head and saw a young girl standing behind the door, showing a big toothy smile at him.

In the blink of an eye, the person instinctively wanted to run.

But before he could move, the door was slammed shut by Su Xiaoxiao’s foot, pinching him hard between the door frame, instantly turning him into a screaming chicken.

Su Xiaoxiao took the opportunity to precisely and ruthlessly jab the electric rod into the person’s waist and abdomen.

With the crackle of the electric current, the person uncontrollably started breakdancing.

In her mind, she silently counted down three, two, one!

With a thud, the person fell to the ground, convulsing all over.

Su Xiaoxiao hefted the electric rod, looking down at the person on the ground.

This person looked to be in their early thirties, with small eyes and a fierce look when they glance at people, but now their mouth was crooked and eyes slanted, with no trace of intimidation.

A very unfamiliar face, Su Xiaoxiao was sure she had never offended this person.

She nudged them with her foot and threateningly waved the electric rod at him.

"Speak, who sent you? What are you planning to do? If you don’t talk, hehehe..."

She flashed a sinister smile belonging to a villain, but unfortunately, the other person’s facial features weren’t under their control at the moment, with their small eyes blinking frantically.

Boohoo, he wanted to speak too, but he couldn’t right now! If he had known this job was this dangerous, he never would have risked his life for twenty bucks.

Unfortunately, Su Xiaoxiao couldn’t hear any of this.

Seeing his expression like a dead pig not afraid of boiling water, and even arrogantly rolling his eyes at her, Su Xiaoxiao kicked him in the waist and upped the electric rod to the highest setting.

No, help, I’ll confess, I’ll confess everything!

The person blinked desperately.

"Still daring to roll your eyes at me, huh? Think I’m giving you face?"

Su Xiaoxiao directly jabbed the electric rod against the person’s neck, making them pass out from the shock.

Afraid of electrocuting him to death, she quickly put away the electric rod.

Truly unexpected, this guy was quite a man, still silent despite all that.

"Forget it, looks like I’ll have to send the person to the police."

Su Xiaoxiao sighed, putting away the electric rod, and just then, someone knocked on the office door.

Zhang Yulan’s voice came from outside the door: "Xiaoxiao, are you still in the office?"

Su Xiaoxiao hurriedly responded and kicked the person on the ground again before going over to open the door.

As soon as Zhang Yulan entered, she saw a man lying on the ground, twitching intermittently, looking shocked.

Su Xiaoxiao was about to speak when Zhang Yulan said, "Why is this person twitching like that? Could it be epilepsy?"

Su Xiaoxiao: "..."

She briefly explained what had just happened, and after she finished, she felt a bit regretful, worried she might have scared Sister Zhang.

But after hearing her out, Zhang Yulan’s eyes lit up, staring at her, "Xiaoxiao, where did you get that electric rod? Can you help me get one? My scumbag ex-husband keeps harassing me. I’ll zap him to death!"

Su Xiaoxiao: "..."

"I can help you buy one, but you have to be careful. This thing can really kill someone."

Zhang Yulan waved her hand, "Don’t worry, I’ll just paralyze him at most."

She then kicked the man on the ground, "What to do with this loser? Did you call the police?"

Su Xiaoxiao suddenly remembered and hurried to call the city police department.

The efficiency of the city’s police department was high, and soon, two young male officers in uniform arrived, with one still having half a bun in his mouth, obviously coming straight from a meal.

She felt a bit guilty, interrupting them at meal time was really embarrassing.

One officer stuffed the remaining bun into his mouth and asked her, "Comrade, can you tell us what happened?"

Su Xiaoxiao then briefly explained what had just happened, and the officer squinted at her when he heard she had an electric rod.

She belatedly realized that possessing an electric rod might be illegal.

No, it’s illegal even in modern times, but the rod she bought wasn’t illegally possessed; it was purchased through legal channels.

She took out the electric rod, wanting to explain, "Officer, this electric rod is legal. It’s not like yours."

Unfortunately, the explanation was useless; the officer still confiscated her electric rod and gave her a verbal caution.

Su Xiaoxiao felt like crying without tears; she would’ve left out the part about the electric rod if she had known.

When the convulsing man was carried away by the two officers, Su Xiaoxiao took out two cans of seafood from her bag and handed them to Sister Zhang, "Sister Zhang, these are seafood cans my friend just sent me. Take them home and enjoy."

"How can I accept this? Tell me how much, I’ll pay you,"

Zhang Yulan made a gesture to get money, but Su Xiaoxiao quickly stopped her, saying, "We’re family, no need to be so polite."

Unable to refuse, she accepted them.

Su Xiaoxiao then went on to give Chen Meilan and Qin Shuang each two cans, hesitating whether she should give some to the general manager too when she saw him walking by.

Yan Guohua half-jokingly teased, "Mr. Xiao Su, this isn’t quite fair, is it? Why not think of me when you have such good stuff? Afraid I can’t afford it?"

Su Xiaoxiao thought to herself, it’s actually the opposite; she wasn’t sure if she should give them because she knew he could afford it.

"Alright then, so it’s a buck each, right? Give me two cans,"

Yan Guohua said with a smile, handing Su Xiaoxiao two dollars.

Su Xiaoxiao had no choice but to accept, and as he left, Yan Guohua earnestly remarked, "Mr. Xiao Su, you can’t do this in the future. Selling stuff privately like this isn’t appropriate for an employee at our department store, is it?"

"General Manager, I’ll be more careful from now on."

She quickly admitted her mistake sincerely, although, with the exception of the manager, she hadn’t actually collected money from anyone else.

"Next time there’s such a good deal, give me a heads up. I can cover for you if needed."

In the next moment, she heard Yan Guohua say with a smile.

Su Xiaoxiao: "..."

He was openly giving her a free pass.

"Alright then, it’s getting late. Hurry home, take those cans back; your sister-in-law will definitely be happy, she might even eat two extra bowls for dinner."

Yan Guohua said merrily, walking off with the canned goods.

That evening, Su Xiaoxiao brought home a bunch of dried seafood and canned goods, and the Su Family enjoyed a rare meal where the main dish wasn’t just turnips and potatoes, everyone ate till they were full and round.

In the morning, when Su Xiaoxiao was heading to work, her mom even specially made her a bowl of shrimp noodle soup.

On a cold winter morning, having a bowl like this was unbelievably cozy.

Good food, good mood.

In high spirits, she rode her bike to work, nearing the department store entrance, she saw two people squatting by the entrance from a distance, each with a big bundle on their shoulder, looking quite familiar.

Hearing the footsteps, they simultaneously looked up.

It turned out to be Hu San and Chen Hai, only now both of them were covered in dust, with unkempt beards, looking like they had just escaped a famine.
