Despite San Dao's terrified expression, Xin Yi remained calm and replied, "Being self-righteous isn't a big mistake, but you can't be so presumptuous in front of just anyone. At least in my opinion, you're still far from being good enough!"

Upon hearing this, San Dao dared not utter another word of rebuttal and could only nod repeatedly in agreement, saying, "Yes, yes, yes, what you say is absolutely right, sir! I was too blindly confident. Thank you for your guidance, sir!"

Seeing this, Xin Yi was too lazy to pay him any more attention. It was enough to let this kind of person know that she was not someone he could afford to offend.

Immediately afterwards, Xin Yi turned her head and looked directly at Lin Chong, asking, "Are you Lin Chong, Sang Biao's brother-in-law?"

As the de facto ruler of the town's black market, Lin Chong must have had a lot of experience, and he was able to control his emotions even when facing a powerful figure of unequal status.

Therefore, although he was inwardly shocked by Xin Yina's amazing abilities, he was still able to maintain a calm and composed demeanor on the surface.

He nodded slightly and replied politely, "Hello, Thor. I am Lin Chong, Sang Biao's brother-in-law, and also the second-in-command of the town's black market!"

His voice was steady and powerful, revealing the confidence and authority unique to those who have long held high positions.

Xin Yi turned her gaze to Lin Chong with great interest, thinking to herself: This name is the same as that of the character in the Four Great Classical Novels of her previous life. I wonder if his abilities can be compared with his?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but smile slightly, her eyes sparkling with curiosity.

Then, Xin Yi's gaze slowly shifted to Xiong Xin beside Lin Chong. In an instant, she was captivated by Xiong Xin's stunning beauty, and she sighed inwardly at how such a beautiful woman could exist in the world. However, she thought that beautiful women often had tragic fates, and it was fortunate that Lin Chong was a significant figure in this place; otherwise, she would most likely have met a bad end.

However, when she noticed the undisguised terror on Xiong Xin's face, she couldn't help but frown slightly, but quickly relaxed, as if nothing had happened.

Immediately afterward, Xin Yi teased, "This young lady is absolutely gorgeous, but are you really sure Sang Biao is your younger brother? I bet he was picked up from some garbage dump!" Although her words were somewhat joking, they successfully broke the slightly tense atmosphere.

Upon hearing Xin Yi's address, Xiong Xin's tense nerves immediately relaxed considerably. She quickly composed herself and regained her usual gentle and graceful demeanor.

With a forced smile, she said, "Haha, I actually had the same thought. It's just a pity that I was already old enough to understand when he was born, so I can be sure that he is indeed my biological brother!" After saying that, she shook her head helplessly, seemingly at a loss for what to do with her mischievous little brother.

Xin Yi turned her head slightly, glancing out of the corner of her eye at Sang Biao beside her, who looked resentful and as if he had suffered a great injustice. A slightly mocking smile appeared on her lips as she said, "As long as we can confirm that he's her biological son, that's fine. Maybe it's just due to a genetic mutation, haha..."

With a hearty laugh, she turned her gaze forward and said, "The goods have arrived, let's go take a look!"

After saying that, she gracefully extended her right hand forward, making a "please" gesture, indicating that they should go first.

Lin Chong gently supported Xiong Xin and strode steadily into the courtyard first. Following closely behind were Liu Chen and San Dao, wielding three long swords. The two men, no longer as composed as usual, seemed filled with anticipation for what they were about to see.

Sang Biao, who was lagging behind, followed closely behind Xin Yi like a little tail. As they walked, he asked curiously in a low voice, "Boss, what is gene mutation?"

Xin Yi turned around, glanced at him indifferently, and chuckled, "Some things don't need to be understood so clearly, hahaha!"

Seeing that Xin Yi was unwilling to explain further, Sang Biao, though still having doubts, could only helplessly purse his lips and stop asking questions, silently continuing to follow Xin Yi into the courtyard.

After Lin Chong and his party entered the courtyard, they looked around and found the huge courtyard completely empty, without a single person in sight, let alone any so-called goods.

The scene was indeed somewhat strange, but no one showed the slightest dissatisfaction. After all, everyone knew very well that the woman known as Thor was no ordinary person, and there must have been a reason why she had brought them here.

When Xin Yi and Sang Biao entered the courtyard and came to the group, Lin Chong smiled and asked Xin Yi very politely, "Thunder God, where exactly is the cargo you mentioned earlier?"

"Let's go to the main room and take a look!"

This time, Xin Yi didn't wait for them to leave first and went straight into the main room.

Seeing this, the others quickened their pace and followed closely. As they stepped into the main room, their eyes were immediately drawn to a pile of items laid out on the floor.

Lin Chong narrowed his eyes slightly and subtly gave a wink to San Dao and the other two beside him. Understanding immediately, the two strode over to the pile of things, squatted down, and began to examine it carefully.

After a thorough inspection, San Dao and the other two stood up and quickly jogged back to Lin Chong's side.

San Dao spoke first, saying, "Boss, look at these wild game pieces on the ground. They look as if they were just slaughtered, very fresh. It's just that one of the wild boars has a slightly damaged head, but overall it's not a big problem. It can still fetch a good price at the market!" After saying that, he looked at Lin Chong with expectant eyes, waiting for the other party's response.

Lin Chong nodded slightly in agreement. Then, he turned his gaze to Liu Chen, who was standing to the side.

Liu Chen quickly stepped forward and respectfully reported, "Boss, the grains, vegetables, and fruits here are also very fresh. They look great, but I don't know how they taste!" As he spoke, Liu Chen couldn't help but subconsciously turn his head to look at Xin Yi next to him.

At this moment, Xin Yi smiled slightly and calmly instructed, "This is easy. Sang Biao, go pick a big apple, wash it clean, cut it into small pieces, and bring it over for everyone to try!"

Upon hearing this, Sang Biao responded without hesitation, "Okay!"

He quickly picked up a big, red apple from the ground, turned around, and hurriedly walked towards the kitchen.
