Chapter 143: Injure the enemy by eight hundred, self-inflict a thousand!

Pei Ziheng, accompanied by a young lad, found a public phone and then handed the youth a piece of paper, instructing him to read aloud from it.

The youth unfolded the paper and his face showed hesitation.

According to the note, he had to call the Bureau of Industry and Commerce to report a hardware trading company for market speculation.

In those days, those who could own a trading company were not ordinary people; he could get himself into trouble.

Noticing the youth's hesitance, Pei Ziheng started to fiddle with the banknotes in his hand.

Seeing the money, the youth immediately cast aside all concerns and dialed the number for the Bureau of Industry and Commerce.

After the call connected, the youth covered the mouthpiece and quietly read from the paper while sneakily looking around, fearful that someone might see or hear him.

After making the call, the youth appeared relieved and turned to ask Pei Ziheng for the money.
