"Fuck, looks like we'll have to charge a bit more for protection today, this place is bustling."

The people prepared to collect protection fees from Hu Xiaobei arrived.

Seeing the hustle and bustle outside the door, the boss excitedly rubbed the large gold chain in his hands!

Soon, he saw all his underlings crouching at the window and looking outside...

"What are you looking at! Everybody get lost."

"Yes!"

Everyone complied and quickly dispersed.

After leisurely taking a puff of his cigar, he peered through the window at Hu Xiaobei's shop.

With just a glance, he saw those broadcast vehicles in front of Hu Xiaobei.

"This Hu Xiaobei seems to have some weight, even our city has deployed so many broadcast vehicles for live streaming."

Upon hearing such a surprised remark, his subordinates swiftly responded!

"Haha, boss, it's probably just because this guy has some fame!"

"Right, what weight can he have?"

"Exactly, he's just trash. The moment you step in, he'll probably piss his pants!"

Hearing this, he squinted his eyes slightly, "What you're saying is right, this Hu Xiaobei is probably just trash."

As he said this, he lazily stretched his neck and said, "We'll wait for a bit, when there are fewer people, then we'll show up, and we'll try to take as much money as possible, got it?"

"Boss, don't worry about it!"

"Yeah, we do this kind of thing all the time."

"Right, we're very experienced."

"That's good."

After nodding indifferently, he closed his eyes...

At this moment, he was already thinking about where to flaunt his wealth after he extorted the money...

...

At the entrance of the shop, seeing everyone who had tasted the fruit with faces full of lingering delight, Guo Meiyu chuckled, "Xiaobei, the response is really good!"

Nodding slightly, Hu Xiaobei squinted and asked, "Is everything ready on the vegetable side?"

"It's ready, the big pot has been set up."

"Alright then, you go over there first."

"Okay!"

After Guo Meiyu walked away, Hu Xiaobei lightly clapped his hands.

Attracting everyone's attention, Hu Xiaobei hoarsely said, "Ladies and gentlemen, I believe you have already tasted the fruit. Now, we've prepared some vegetables over there, and soon you can taste them and see how they are."

Following Hu Xiaobei's words, everyone quickly looked in the direction he pointed, and all were immediately astonished!

Because there, everyone saw the staff from Hu Xiaobei's shop had set up five huge pots.

"What's going on?"

"Yeah, what's that?"

"I don't get it."

Everyone stared at the five pots, all bewildered, as they didn't understand what it was all about.

Ling Keke was also perplexed.

Blinking curiously, she said, "Could it be that Hu Xiaobei is planning to cook here?"

As Ling Keke was wondering, Lin Yongqiang and others arrived in a formidable procession.

They didn't come directly but went to their own shop across the street...

The shop manager, who had full confidence in Lin Yongqiang and had been awaiting his triumphant return, saw him appear and immediately shouted, "Everyone come out, Chairman Lin is here."

Hearing the manager's words, all the employees in the shop quickly lined up.

At this moment, they all knew Lin Yongqiang was here to deal with Hu Xiaobei, so they were all very excited...

Seeing everyone's high spirits, Lin Yongqiang quickly said, "You've all done well. I know it's been tough recently, but I promise you here, those hard days will soon end, and we will welcome the best days rapidly, understand?"

"Yes!"

Everyone nodded vigorously.

Seeing this, Lin Yongqiang glanced at the dense crowd across the street and asked, "Is there any business in our shop today?"

Hearing this question, the manager spoke awkwardly, "Chairman Lin, all customers have been brainwashed by that damn peasant Hu Xiaobei, so not a single one came over."

"Understood! I got it, since there's not much business, let's go over to Hu Xiaobei's side. I want to see what kind of trick he's really playing."

"Yes!"

Everyone quickly agreed.

As they were about to march over in a grand fashion, Lin Yongqiang looked at Wizard Zhu, who was still wearing a black robe, and said, "Wizard Zhu, we'll need your help later."

As Lin Yongqiang spoke, everyone subconsciously looked at him...

In that instant, everyone felt a chill down their spine.

With this, they all formed a strong confidence in him.

"Taking people's money, to ward off their troubles. Don't worry, since I've taken your money, I'll definitely complete the task. When the time comes, just tell me who to deal with, and I can take action right away."

"Of course! Also, Wizard Zhu, I hope you can introduce me to your master afterward."

"I did promise you before, so definitely, but I can't guarantee whether my master will help you."

"That's fine! As long as you introduce me, I'll handle the rest!"

"Alright."

As they spoke, they marched directly towards Hu Xiaobei's side!

Because they could now rely on others for strength, those previously pitiful employees instantly started showing off again...

...

"Are you all dead? Didn't you see our Chairman Lin has arrived? Make way for me."

As they spoke arrogantly, they began to push through the crowd, which annoyed many people.

Turning their heads, they saw Lin Yongqiang...

"I knew Lin Yongqiang would definitely come back!"

"Yeah, it's enemy against enemy, now there's gonna be drama!"

"Exactly!"

All the people present knew about the conflict between Lin Yongqiang and Hu Xiaobei, so they were sure that Lin Yongqiang's visit wasn't to celebrate with Hu Xiaobei.

Because of this, everyone quickly stepped back.

Those flunkies of Lin Yongqiang, seeing this scene, looked very smug.

Soon, they quickly nodded and bowed their way to Lin Yongqiang, saying, "Chairman Lin, please, go ahead."

Lin Yongqiang nodded lightly, striding forward with an air of haughtiness.

In that instant, all attention focused on him.

There, the people ready to collect Hu Xiaobei's protection fees also squinted slightly...

They too knew there was entertainment to watch...

"Who is that person?"

Ling Keke didn't recognize Lin Yongqiang, so she mumbled curiously as he made a grand entrance.

People in the live stream heard Ling Keke's quiet mumble and quickly explained to her with barrage comments...
