Chapter 686: Chapter 686: Stuffed with a Mouthful of Dog Food

"Miss Shi, the gentleman you asked about has not been sent to prison,"

the customs official carefully explained the situation to Shi Yaoguang. The goods delivered by Quan Jinbei’s company did indeed contain contraband.

However, there was currently no evidence to prove it was Quan Jinbei’s doing.

Moreover, it wasn’t as if Quan Jinbei came to do business in X Country without any preparation at all.

In such an event, naturally, someone would help and intervene.

Right now, other than being unable to contact the outside world, Quan Jinbei was in good condition.

Shi Yaoguang felt somewhat relieved.

While she was confident in Quan Jinbei’s capabilities, she was still quite anxious before receiving concrete news.

Fortunately, she didn’t have to wait too long before the person in charge at the customs hurried over.

His tie was disheveled and his shirt wrinkled; it wasn’t hard to guess what he had been doing prior to his arrival.

Despite possibly interrupting the man’s inappropriate activities, Shi Yaoguang didn’t feel the slightest bit guilty.

The person in charge, named Johann, although not the top official at the X Country customs, still had some say.

To Shi Yaoguang, that was sufficient.

She wasn’t really there to give back to X Country, so naturally, she wouldn’t offer anything too valuable.

"Miss Shi," he said, "I heard you want to do business with our country’s customs. May I ask what kind of business you are referring to?"

Shi Yaoguang took out the documents she had prepared in advance and handed them over, "The business I’m talking about is right here, you can talk after you look it over."

The person in charge nodded, and when he picked up the documents, his expression was still very indifferent.

That was until he saw the contents of the documents.

The moment he read them, his breathing became noticeably heavier.

After a long while, he recovered from the shock, "Is, is this for real?"

Shi Yaoguang nodded, "It is indeed my latest developed technology."

Having heard her, the person in charge’s emotions slightly stabilized.

He knew there was no such thing as a free lunch.

If Shi Yaoguang were to take this information public, everyone would be busting down the door to get at it.

Yet, she didn’t approach anyone else but went straight to X Country’s customs.

Clearly, she had her own agenda.

But that was very normal.

If she didn’t have an agenda, that would have been abnormal.

Normal as it was, the person in charge still worried.

He feared that Shi Yaoguang would propose some outrageous conditions.

If her demands were too high, even if customs had the inclination, they couldn’t afford the price.

The person in charge was in quite a quandary at the moment.

On one hand, he was eager to cooperate with Shi Yaoguang.

On the other hand, he worried that Shi Yaoguang would make exorbitant demands.

Shi Yaoguang saw his concern but did not immediately state her position.

Instead, after a little while, she presented her conditions, "I want to ask the customs for a person."

"A person?" The person in charge’s expression grew complicated, "May I know who Miss Shi is referring to?"

If she just wanted a person, the kind Shi Yaoguang demanded probably would be one guilty of heinous crimes, likely a drug lord.

Thinking like this, the person in charge faced another dilemma.

Should he agree?

Or should he not?

If he agreed, that wouldn’t be quite appropriate.

If he didn’t agree...

The benefits that came knocking would just fly away.

Shi Yaoguang, unaware of the person in charge’s thoughts, wouldn’t know any drug lords, so of course, she wouldn’t want to bail out a drug lord.

"My husband has been framed and is currently with the customs,"

While the person in charge was still struggling with whether he should compromise his principles, Shi Yaoguang spoke up.

Upon hearing Shi Yaoguang’s words, the person in charge was stunned.

"What did you say?"

Without waiting for her response, the person in charge spoke with a surprised expression, "Your husband? Why would your husband appear at customs..."

Shi Yaoguang glanced at him, her expression somewhat complex.

"His illegitimate half-brother deliberately stuffed contraband into my husband’s company’s cargo ship, resulting in my husband’s detention," she explained.

Upon hearing this, the person in charge immediately thought of someone.

"You’re talking about Mr. Quan, aren’t you?"

Shi Yaoguang nodded.

Relieved, the person in charge breathed a sigh of relief, "So it’s Mr. Quan you want to bail out."

Seeing his reaction, Shi Yaoguang looked puzzled, "I want him, and you seem very happy about it?"

The person in charge was, of course, pleased.

If Shi Yaoguang had requested a major drug lord, he would have been in a bind, possibly unable to agree.

But that was not the case.

She was only asking for her husband, an ordinary person framed and detained by customs.

Well...

Okay, Mr. Quan wasn’t exactly ordinary.

Keeping this in mind, and not daring to hide anything, the person in charge candidly shared Jinbei’s current predicament, "If you’re asking about Mr. Quan, then there’s no need to go to such lengths. Mr. Quan can get himself out of this trouble."

He spoke the truth.

Even if Shi Yaoguang hadn’t shown up, it would have taken no more than a day for Quan Jinbei to prove his innocence and leave customs.

Shi Yaoguang was unsurprised by this response, "I believe he is capable of that, but... I can’t bear to see him suffering alone in there."

Hearing this, the person in charge wore a conflicted expression.

Never had he imagined that the big shot would exchange such valuable information simply to spare her beloved from suffering.

The person in charge admitted to being fed a dose of "dog food"...

"Miss Shi, if you’re willing to exchange these documents for Mr. Quan’s personal freedom, then you can see him now," he said.

"However..." acting out of humanitarian concern, he kindly cautioned her, "Are you sure you want to use this information for such a purpose?"

Undeterred, Shi Yaoguang replied promptly, "Yes, I’m sure."

Person in charge: "..."

Once again, fed a mouthful of "dog food."

But that was okay, because the tangible benefits to customs were real.

With that thought, the person in charge even wished Quan Jinbei would make more mistakes.

Fortunately for him, Shi Yaoguang didn’t know that the person in charge was hoping for more of Quan Jinbei’s mistakes to benefit customs, otherwise who knows if she would still be willing to leave the information with customs.

...

Once the person in charge confirmed Shi Yaoguang’s intentions, he arranged for someone to fetch Quan Jinbei.

Originally, Quan Jinbei already received better treatment than others.

Now, thanks to Shi Yaoguang’s sacrifice, his treatment had improved even further.

He didn’t seem like he’d been invited for tea, but rather for a drink.

Watching the impressive man, the person in charge couldn’t help but feel a twinge of envy.

If only he had a wife like that...

But that was merely wishful thinking.

He knew all too well whether he had such a wife or not.

He did not!

No matter how bitter the person in charge was, Quan Jinbei couldn’t possibly empathize.

To be honest, when he heard someone tell him that his wife had come to bail him out, his first reaction was disbelief.

Shi Yaoguang had a schedule; she was supposed to be filming in the country.

How could she suddenly show up at customs, let alone to bail him out!

He even suspected it was someone pretending to be her.

Not until he saw her in person.

"Wife, why are you here?" Quan Jinbei couldn’t help but blurt out what seemed like a pointless question.

Shi Yaoguang told him the reason for her trip abroad, "I hadn’t heard from you or seen any messages and was worried you might have met with some accident, so I came looking for you. Are you alright?"
