Gu Yundong thought that this person would go back to his Zhou Mansion to call for help. She did not expect him to have some brains. He was looking for the local hooligans to cause trouble here.
At this moment, the middle-aged man was hiding at the entrance of the alley opposite. He said to the person beside him, âWeâll go over and mediate when they get into a conflict later. Itâll be much easier to buy their shop then.â
âIs it useful?â The person beside him looked like a servant. He was still a little worried.
Steward Zhou snorted. âOf course itâs useful. Who would be willing to pay a protection fee of 100 taels a month?â
âItâs a pity that we came a step later. Otherwise, we wouldnât have had to give money to those local hooligans to help.â
Steward Zhou pursed his lips. âPerhaps in this way, we can lower the price.â After a pause, he asked, âWhen will Master come?â
âHe should be here soon.â
Steward Zhou was a little anxious. âWe have to get it done before Old Master comes.â
Coincidentally, the three people in the shop didnât seem to have a good temper. They would definitely quarrel soon.
He would just wait.
The atmosphere in the shop was indeed tense. Zheng Gang looked at the local hooligans and said, âIâve never heard of anyone on this street paying protection fees, let alone 100 taels a month.â
âThatâs right. In the past, you didnât have to pay it. Now, you have to. Whatâs wrong? Are you going to give it to us? If you donât, donât blame us for being rude.â n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âYouâ¦â Zheng Gang was furious.
âIâm not giving it to you. Why donât we see how rude you are?â Gu Yundong retracted her gaze from Steward Zhou and glanced at the local hooligans.
A local hooligan immediately glanced at her, and then his eyes lit up. His gaze became unrestrained. âYo, thereâs a little girl here. Sheâs quite good-looking. Do you want to know how to be rude? Actually, itâs simple. Why donât you come over and kiss me⦠Ahâ¦â
Before he could finish speaking, the local hooligan felt a pain in his stomach. His entire body flew out like a kite with a broken string.
âPa!â
Bang!
The sound of the landing rang out. Not only was the local hooligan stunned, but the other gangsters were also stunned. The smile on their faces was still hanging as they froze.
After a while, everyone turned around and looked at Shao Qingyuan, who had attacked. They swallowed hard.
Shao Qingyuan glanced at them coldly. âWho else wants to be rude?â
The local hooligans trembled and immediately took a few steps back.
Steward Zhou and the servant were even more stunned. Just, just like that, the man was sent flying?
âWhat, what should we do?â The servant was so nervous that his tongue was tied. âThat person seems to know martial arts. Even if we go over together, we wonât be able to beat him. Those local hooligans wonât be able to do anything either. Why donât we forget about that shop?â
Steward Zhou was also so frightened that he trembled. However, when he heard the servantâs words, he slapped him. âWhat nonsense are you talking about? That shop was chosen by Old Master. Can I just give it up? Looks like we have to rely on ourselves. You, quickly call Ah Feng over. Heâs a guard of our residence. Heâs very skilled. He can definitely deal with that man.â
The servant nodded and immediately stood up. Unexpectedly, before he could take a step, he stopped again and pointed at a carriage not far away. âThereâs no need to go. Ah Feng accompanied Old Master over.â
Steward Zhou suddenly turned his head, and his expression instantly changed.
