Chapter 286: Taking Action to Arrest People
Fang Xiaoxiao first found a seemingly ordinary abandoned house as the place to hand over goods to the new supplier.
Within this residence, she secretly arranged for several highly skilled and loyal servants to hide on the surrounding eaves and in concealed corners.
Then, Lin Wan'er, dressed in gorgeous clothes and adorned with pearls and jade, went in and out of various teahouses and wine shops in the city.
She pretended to be casual, and while chatting and laughing with her maid, she revealed that she was about to collaborate with a new supplier from a foreign land who brought rare and exotic treasures.
The description of the rare materials brought by the new supplier and the amazing effects of the body lotion to be created was so vivid and captivating that it made people yearn for it.
Fang Xiaoxiao disguised herself as an ordinary citizen and kept an eye on the movements of various parties in the city.
She noticed that the owner of a well-known beauty salon in the city had been acting strangely lately, and his men were frequently going in and out of dark alleys, behaving suspiciously. She began to suspect something was amiss.
On the agreed-upon day for handing over the goods to the new supplier, Fang Xiaoxiao arrived at the abandoned house early.
She strolled casually in the courtyard, seemingly enjoying the scenery, but in reality, she was keeping a close eye on everything around her, paying close attention to any unusual movements.
Inside the courtyard, the goods appear to be placed randomly, but in fact, they conceal a hidden secret.
The placement of each wooden box is carefully considered; even the slightest touch will trigger a mechanism and emit a warning sound.
As the sun began to set and everyone grew impatient, a dark figure quietly appeared outside the courtyard wall.
The dark figure, hiding its head and tail, cautiously peered through a crack in the wall to observe the situation inside the courtyard.
The servants, hidden on the roof, held their breath and stared intently at the shadowy figure's every move.
Fang Xiaoxiao waved her hand slightly, signaling everyone not to move and to wait for the shadowy figure to enter before capturing it.
The shadowy figure observed for a long time, and, thinking he was safe, gently pushed open the courtyard gate and tiptoed into the house.
The instant her foot touched the ground in the courtyard, Fang Xiaoxiao shouted, "Attack!"
In an instant, the servants appeared as if by divine intervention, leaping out from all directions and surrounding the dark figure.
The shadowy figure was terrified and turned to flee, only to find that all escape routes were blocked.
Fang Xiaoxiao stepped forward with light steps and said coldly.
"Speak, who exactly sent you to cause trouble here?"
The shadowy figure clenched his teeth and remained silent.
Lin Wan'er gave a soft snort and said.
"If you don't tell, you won't leave this place alive today."
Under Fang Xiaoxiao and Lin Wan'er's repeated threats and inducements, the shadowy figure finally couldn't resist.
He stammered that the owner of a shop called Qian Wenge in the city had sent him to sabotage the transaction and prevent them from acquiring new, superior materials.
Lin Wan'er rebuked angrily.
"How dare you! Do you know that I am Wan'er of Pingyang? How dare you frame me like this? What is your punishment?"
Upon hearing that it was Pingyang Wan'er, the servant was so frightened that he trembled violently, and his voice shook uncontrollably.
They don't even know when urine or feces are flowing from their genitals.
A smell, like an egg that has gone bad after being left out for a month, hit their nostrils.
Fang Xiaoxiao frowned and waved her hand in response.
"Let's get out of here quickly, this guy is really disgusting."
Lin Wan'er nodded in response.
The two then walked out of the courtyard one after the other, heading towards where Manager Qian Wenge lived.
Russian qing.
Fang Xiaoxiao and Lin Wan'er captured the owner of Qianwen Pavilion. Fang Xiaoxiao stared sharply at the trembling owner and said in a stern voice.
"You despicable scoundrel, how dare you poison our beauty cream and ruin our reputation! If you don't hand over the deed to your shop today, don't expect to get away with this!"
The boss was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he said in a trembling voice.
"Grandma, spare me! I was momentarily bewitched! This land deed...this land deed..."
Lin Wan'er snorted coldly from the side.
"Stop arguing and hand it over right now, or I'll take you to see the authorities!"
The boss gritted his teeth and finally took out the land deed from his pocket and handed it over.
Fang Xiaoxiao took the land deed, a smile playing on her lips, and said...
"You're smart enough to let me off this time, but if there's a next time, I won't be so lenient!"
After Fang Xiaoxiao brought Lin Wan'er back to Lingxi Pavilion, the two of them were still not fully recovered from the previous turmoil.
Inside the pavilion, sunlight streamed through the carved window lattices, casting dappled patterns of light and shadow on the floor.
Fang Xiaoxiao sat quietly at the antique pearwood table, holding a delicate eyebrow pencil in her hand, but her eyes were somewhat unfocused, as if she was thinking about something profound.
After a while, as if she had suddenly grasped a fleeting inspiration, she turned her head sharply, her eyes sparkling with excitement, and said to Lin Wan'er.
"Wan'er, think about it, women in this world have an endless pursuit of beauty."
Beauty creams are good, but wouldn't it be even more appealing to women if we could create a completely new beauty product?
Lin Wan'er approached curiously, her skirt brushing gently against the ground, making a soft sound.
She tilted her head, her beautiful eyes filled with expectation as she looked at Fang Xiaoxiao and asked.
"Xiao Xiao, stop being so mysterious! Tell me, what amazing thing have you come up with?"
Fang Xiaoxiao smiled slightly, a smile as bright and charming as a flower blooming in spring.
She uttered two words softly.
"Lipstick."
Lin Wan'er was taken aback at first, then her eyes widened and she said with a look of surprise.
"Lipstick? That name sounds intriguing, but what exactly is it like?"
Fang Xiaoxiao stood up, walked to the window, looked at the blue sky and white clouds outside, and slowly said.
"Wan'er, look, although women's makeup is unique, the color of their lips is often quite simple."
How wonderful it would be if we could develop lipsticks of different colors and textures, allowing them to choose according to different occasions and moods.
For example, vibrant red can convey passion and charm, while delicate pink can highlight gentleness and shyness.
Lin Wan'er listened intently, imagining those beautiful scenes, and nodded repeatedly.
"Xiao Xiao, your idea is brilliant! But how do we develop this lipstick?"
Fang Xiaoxiao returned to the table, gently put down the eyebrow pencil in her hand, and began to explain carefully to Lin Wan'er.
"I once stumbled upon some fragments about lipstick making in some treasured ancient books, and with my own thoughts and exploration, I may be able to find a feasible method."
First, we need to collect various precious materials.
After saying that, Fang Xiaoxiao began to list the items she needed.
"Rare spices transported from the distant Western Regions add a unique fragrance to lipsticks."
There's also fresh flower juice picked in the mountains early in the morning; only flowers with vibrant and pure colors can be extracted to obtain the most beautiful hues.
