Li Gang, after some deliberation, felt it wise to let Yang Qing handle the delivery in his place, rather than wait. It wasn't ideal for him, as the merchant, to hand the responsibility of delivery to someone else. Doing such a thing was taboo for any self-respecting merchant who prided themselves on the quality of their service to clients. Handing over the delivery of goods to someone unrelated to the company definitely fell under negligence and gross misconduct.
On a normal day, Li Gang wouldn't have dared entertain the idea, but... today wasn't a normal day. He was about to leave the Vast Blue, and things there were already tense. Even though he felt Fan Jie and a great majority of the Vast Blue were sure to celebrate once they got news of his leaving and bowing out of the succession, his leaving was sure to have other effects too, because he wasn't leaving alone.
