Cave Refuge-Chapter 236 - 234: Embarking on the Journey Home_1

Dong Tianyu was not offended by Mace’s request for an inspection; he promptly stood up and led Mace out of the vehicle.

The two of them approached the rear door of the black truck. As they opened the door, rows of neatly packaged medicines were arranged inside the truck.

After unloading a box, Mace discovered that the original factory tapes on these medicines had not been damaged. It seemed that these medicines were intercepted directly by Dong Tianyu immediately after they left the factory, without being registered at the Medical Company.

Normally, medicines would not be immediately circulated in the market after they are out of the factory. Instead, they need to be inspected by the pharmaceutical companies of various regions (regional institutions) before entering circulation.

Under normal circumstances, the original factory tapes should have been removed and the box should have been resealed with the tapes of the city’s pharmaceutical department.

The inspection method is very simple: open the box to see if the medicines inside match with the list.

The inspectors generally just check the names on the selling packages, taking samples from a few medicines for inspection. Although it seems that every box is opened for inspection, in reality, they just cut open the tape to see if the outside appearances are the same. They do not actually take out each one to check, and then simply reseal with the tapes of different areas.

The inspection process is usually perfunctory, like an unnecessary step, but it’s against the regulations for medicines to enter the market without their inspection.

The medicines provided by Dong Tianyu did not have the secondary sealing by the Pengcheng Medical Unit’s tape, which in theory, made them illegal and unable to be circulated in the market normally.

But by now, who cared whether these things were illegal or not?

In fact, when Mace inspected the medicines, he was checking the finesse of the printing on the outer package. It didn’t matter whether the pills or capsules inside were effective. Even in Peach Blossom Paradise, there was no other way to verify the efficacy of the medicine except through human trials.

Seeing no issues, Mace quickly contacted his superior. Without making Dong Tianyu and Mace wait outside for too long, a group of people came out of the building.

Upon seeing the elderly man leading the group, Mace exclaimed in surprise, "Old Man Li, why are you here?"

Looking at Mace’s reaction, the man referred to as Old Man Li replied kindly, "Why can’t I come out? You’ve created a big scene without realizing it, lad. When you strongly demanded to keep all the yin and yang dumplings at the meeting, everyone thought you were out of your mind.

Everyone was surprised that even before your trade partner arrived, you had already sold half of them. After your appointed trade partner arrived, the trade between you two, whether in terms of the total price or the goods provided, shocked both the bosses.

If it weren’t for the rule that the bosses can’t participate in the trade this time, it wouldn’t be me coming here, but the two bosses."

Dong Tianyu had heard this rule from Mace: one must consider carefully and complete three trades with Peach Blossom Paradise as a new customer before having the chance to deal directly with the bosses of Peach Blossom Paradise.

It was a chance, not a guarantee.

It seemed as if Old Man Li was explaining to Mace why he came, but he was also telling Dong Tianyu why the bosses of Peach Blossom Paradise were not present at such a major trade.

At Old Man Li’s explanation, Dong Tianyu merely smiled and didn’t say anything.

Seeing Dong Tianyu’s silence at this time, Old Man Li, being sharp and wise, knew that Dong Tianyu was somewhat displeased and thus ignored him.

If it were any other time, Dong Tianyu’s disregard for him would certainly make Old Man Li show him that there are people beyond people, and skies beyond skies.

But at this time, harmony was more valuable, so Old Man Li didn’t say anything else. He signaled to Mace with his eyes and arranged for the people he brought to unload the goods.

"Brother Dong, let’s not watch them unloading. Why don’t we go inside and have a seat? I can get you to try some of our local specialties!"

Understanding Mace’s proposition, Dong Tianyu shook his head and directly said to Mace: "Next time. Bring the goods I selected quickly. I have something else to do in the afternoon."

Seeing that Dong Tianyu didn’t seem interested at this time, Mace, reading the room well, held his tongue.

The first to arrive were the ten Canaries chosen by Dong Tianyu. Although they were plainly dressed, their dazzling figures couldn’t be concealed.

Watching them lined up chirping and chattering, the workers did not admire them any longer but rather, instinctively bowed their heads and continued with their jobs.

Seeing that they were already affecting the others’ work, Dong Tianyu didn’t want them to keep showing off here. So, he pointed to the car door and said to them, "You ladies go and wait in the car."

By this time, they had understood the situation on site. So, without voicing any doubts about Dong Tianyu’s arrangement, they obediently followed his instructions and walked up the stairs into the truck.

The fifty boxes of medicine were quickly unloaded. Unlike last time, Peach Blossom Paradise had prepared cages for this trade. Even the little colts were kept in separate bamboo cages, showing that Peach Blossom Paradise had put thought into the preparations this time.

Once the workers had loaded all the goods purchased by Dong Tianyu onto the truck, Dong Tianyu quickly scanned with his Divine Sense and confirmed that the quantity of goods was correct. After confirming this, Dong Tianyu said his goodbyes.

After getting in the truck, Dong Tianyu saw the Canaries standing decorously in the truck, just like Walker Violet and Jasmine Anderson had done previously. He couldn’t help but chuckle helplessly.

He casually told them, "There are no spare seats in the car. You’ll have to sit on the floor for now. The journey is quite long. We’ll talk more when we arrive."

After saying this, Dong Tianyu took the driver’s seat and set the black truck on its return journey.

Hearing Dong Tianyu say this, the Canaries looked around the whole truck. Other than the passenger seat, there were indeed no other places to sit.

So when they heard Dong Tianyu saying they could sit on the floor, some of them casually sat down right away, while others seemed reluctant to sit on the floor.

But seeing the others all sitting down, anyone remaining standing would feel awkward. So even if they were very reluctant, they had no choice but to go with the flow and sit on the floor.

The suspension of the black truck was excellent. Even though they were all sitting on the floor during the entire journey back, they didn’t feel any vibrations from the moving vehicle.

Just as they were feeling apprehensive, the black truck had already stopped next to the Treading Waves.

Looking at the deck ten meters above the ground, Dong Tianyu wondered whether he should carry them up just as he had done before or find another way to get them up there.

After a brief consideration, Dong Tianyu decided to do it just like before, and directly take them up there, which would also serve as a warning to them.
