?50: 050: Knock them all down 50: 050: Knock them all down “I’ve also signed up for ten years, so let’s hurry up and get going.

    If we start a fight, it means business.” one of them said.

    “Big sister, they have been setting up here for three years already, what you’re doing is really not cool.

    You say you signed for five years, so are you supposed to pay every month or what?”

    Some of the neighboring stall owners spoke up for the few people, but Zou Mei was stunned.

    That’s right!

    She hadn’t paid rent herself.

    She looked at Tang Feng with embarrassment.

    “Aunt Zou, haven’t you communicated with the market management office?” Tang Feng understood the reason for the issue.

    “No, I forgot.

    I was just about to set up my stall today, so there was no time, and I don’t really understand how this works,” Zou Mei said.

    “Big sister, actually giving up a spot would be fine too.

    Why don’t we talk more about it?” The young man beside her said with a lecherous smile.

    “Don’t talk nonsense,” Tang Feng coldly glanced at the young man, then began repacking his things and pushed the cart to the side of the road.

    “Xiao Feng, thank you.

    I really wouldn’t have known what to do without you,” Zou Mei said, embarrassed by the recent events.

    “It’s no big deal.

    Tonight, I’ll accompany you, but you’re not allowed to come here again after that.

    I’ll invest in you.

    We can set up a restaurant, do hotpot, or even a Western restaurant, just don’t be outside anymore, it’s not safe,” Tang Feng said.

    “I’ll owe you for the rest of my life,” Zou Mei sighed.

    “Then you can repay me with yourself,” Tang Feng said with a smile.

    Zou Mei shivered all over and said nothing more.

    Did she dare to accept?

    She didn’t dare.

    What kind of person was she to ruin Tang Feng’s promising future?

    Moreover, her daughter liked Tang Feng, how could she dare to harbor other feelings.

    “Is it okay to set up here on the roadside?” Zou Mei was, after all, a woman and had more worries.

    Tang Feng’s policy was to act first and talk later.

    There was a drainage ditch here that could be used to take advantage of the sidewalk, and it wasn’t too late to discuss with the city management when they came.

    “It’s fine.

    If there’s any real trouble, just let me handle it,” Tang Feng said.

    Sigh!

    “If it wasn’t for you today, I really wouldn’t have been able to do this.

    I didn’t expect that after being ill for so many years, I’d forget everything that I knew how to do,” Zou Mei lamented.

    “Now you know how important I am,” Tang Feng said proudly.

    Soon, customers started arriving, and Zou Mei had to put the conversation aside.

    Actually, after getting in close contact with Tang Feng, her Divine Sense was all over the place.

    She was both afraid of spending time with Tang Feng and reluctant to let him go.

    So, she particularly cherished the time they were spending together now, watching him busy himself, feeling a warm current inside her heart.

    It was hard to imagine a rich kid being able to do all these things.

    She had some insight into Tang Feng’s background—clean and tidy, hands soft and delicate, obviously not someone who had suffered much.

    In this aspect, she hadn’t been wrong.

    Before, Tang Feng had only been wronged; Aunt Zou had never really made him suffer.

    In fact, with his frail body, he had endured plenty of pain.

    As the sky darkened, business picked up.

    In the city, running a small stall could indeed make some money, certainly more than working in a factory.

    Zou Mei was very graceful on the side, handling money and serving dishes.

    After two hours, they made an easy few hundred bucks, making Zou Mei’s face blossom with joy.

    They had earned back the initial investment and were now profiting from every sale.

    Watching Tang Feng go from unfamiliar to gradually mastering the work, Zou Mei couldn’t help but admire him.

    Doing this kind of thing required perseverance, otherwise, it was really easy to give up.

    However, their happiness didn’t last long before trouble arrived.

    Two bikes carrying four young men pulled up, and at a glance, they didn’t seem like good news.

    They looked around and then sat down nearby.

    One of them called Zou Mei over.

    “Beautiful Boss Lady, come over here for a second,” he said.

    “What would you gentlemen like to eat?” Zou Mei asked politely.

    “We’re not here to eat, just to ask if you know whose turf this is, and who gave you permission to set up shop here?”

    “What do you mean by that?”

    “This is our territory, you can’t set up a stall here.

    Actually, you can, but it’ll cost you six hundred a month,” the young man said with a smile.

    “You mean you want to charge a fee.”

    “Of course, our boss has taken charge of these two streets.

    If you want to do business here, you have to pay up.

    Otherwise, you can’t carry on with your business,” said the young man, stretching his hand out, making his meaning quite clear.

    “Are you city management?

    It’s not your place to handle this,” Tang Feng came over and said with a laugh.

    “We’re the enforcers, kid.

    If you’re not paying up, then beat it,” said the young man next to him, pointing at Tang Feng with a fierce look.

    “It’s just extortion; no need to be so aggressive.

    I’m really not going anywhere.

    I want to see what you can do about it,” Tang Feng said.

    “Fine, you’ve got guts.

    Watch how I beat you to death,” the more robust young man said before kicking at Tang Feng.

    “Ah, the young people these days are too impulsive.”

    Crack!

    The young man screamed in agony as his leg bent at a ninety-degree angle and snapped in five or six places.

    It would be very hard for him to recover in less than a year or so.

    The other three young men gasped in shock, the kid that looked like a student was unexpectedly ruthless.

    Of course, they weren’t scared; such things had happened before.

    If they couldn’t handle it bare-handed, they’d draw their knives.

    They pulled out knives from their motorcycles and slashed at Tang Feng.

    “No, Feng, be careful,” Zou Mei was terrified.

    She had only seen scenes like this on television.

    “Grab that Boss Lady, and we’ll see if that kid still dares to act tough,” one of the youths said, pointing at Zou Mei with a laugh.

    Of course, he had ulterior motives, seeing such a beautiful woman, every man would have some thoughts.

    The moment Tang Feng heard this, he was enraged.

    Nowadays, Zou Mei was his untouchable scale, touch it and you die.

    The young man tried to grab Zou Mei from behind, but Tang Feng appeared and slapped his hand away, clang, and the young man’s knife dropped to the ground.

    Unfortunately for him, it fell right on his foot.

    Ah!

    The knife plunged straight in, and the young man immediately fell to the ground, arms hanging limply, and before he could even cry out, he fainted from the pain.

    The remaining two were too scared to act when they saw their companions injured; just moments before, they thought they had hit someone, but missed and ended up with their own brother knocked down.

    They looked for backup.

    The two turned and ran.

    Tang Feng grabbed a couple of sausages and threw them after the fleeing men.

    Thud, the two young men fell to the ground, completely losing sensation in their legs, terrified by the experience.

    Tang Feng slowly walked over to them and gently patted their faces, “You were acting so tough just now, got anything to say now?”

    “Kid, you’re done for, messing with the Red Alliance’s men never ends well,” the young man said with some backbone, surprising Tang Feng.

    “Then you go first,” Tang Feng grabbed his head and smashed it hard against the ground, knocking him out.

    This scene frightened the onlookers.

    The social youths were ruthless, but the kid manning the stall was even more so; his tactics sent shivers down everyone’s spine.

    “I’m sorry, big brother, we didn’t want it to be this way, our leader sent us.

    Please, spare my life.

    A small fry like me wouldn’t even catch your eye,” the youth surrendered promptly, wanting to suffer less.

    “Get lost, and take them with you.

    Don’t try to fool me; if you come to make trouble again, what happens next will be worse than before.

    I guarantee you’ll spend your whole life in bed, if not dead,” Tang Feng said with a smile.

    “Yes, yes, we won’t do it again.”

    Applause erupted from the crowd.

    These thugs had been arrogant to the extreme, controlling the entire county’s streets, and the stall owners had been too angry to speak up.

    Now someone had taken them down, and naturally, they were thrilled.

    But Zou Mei couldn’t be happy.

    Those people would surely not let it go; they would come back with even more people.

    She had already decided to go home.

    After all, she had not lost out today, and she didn’t want any untoward incidents to happen.

    Those social youths were utterly unreliable.

    Saying they wouldn’t come back meant they surely would; they were devoid of credibility.
