"Here's the situation."
The Sea People leader Hua Li explained, "Our Flower Clothes Group is in the intermediary and asset protection business, so we deal with many groups. Before the viral outbreak, a merchant approached us and hoarded a large amount of medical supplies through us, including masks, antiviral drugs, anticoagulants, hormones, and ECMO—which is also known as an artificial lung..."
"After the A2 virus spread on a large scale, we realized this merchant must know some insider information; they stocked up on medication specifically for A2-infected patients. Selling these supplies when they are scarce could fetch at least five times the price."
"Under normal circumstances, we'd respect customer privacy and not inquire further. The Flower Clothes Group relies on staying out of trouble and minding our own business to gain recognition and cooperation from various groups."
"Who knew without us contacting him, he'd come to us instead."
