Chapter 644: Episode 342 Sick
Pan Ping’an had been anxiously pacing nearby, scratching his head and feeling frustrated that he couldn’t interject. Seeing the two merchants hesitating, he quickly seized the opportunity to smooth things over, "Right, right, that’s good, that’s good. There’s no need for you two to take extra trips, and it will give us some peace of mind too. Heh, our policy... it’s not aimed at anyone in particular, nor is it that we don’t trust you.
