Chapter 003: Punishment
Tao Xing's expression was a little weird, but the matter was already coming, and he really couldn't avoid it.
In order to run this small restaurant, he ate with a mouthful of food, and worked hard with his wife Ye Shu to get up early and be greedy for darkness, but he didn't make much profit every month.
In addition, the four wolves on East Street collected a part of the protection fee on time, which immediately made it difficult for them to operate, and these guys not only collected protection money, but even ate and drank by the way, without giving a penny.
Now, I have found an opportunity to come directly to the door and ask for more hard work again, Tao Xing, who has endured to the limit, really doesn't plan to continue to endure it.
"You're the head wolf, aren't you?"
Tao Xing tightened the kitchen knife in his hand, stared at the red-haired youth with an angry tone and asked.
"Since you know my Li Mu's name, you should know that on East Street, thousands of shops are trembling when they see me, do you dare to refuse?"
Li Mu wiped his fingers on his clothes a few times, and then slowly raised his eyelids to stare at Tao Xing and spoke.
"Originally, for the sake of Diao Lixin's face, I really shouldn't have refused, but you are pushing people too much, I have no way out, if you want to continue, Lao Tzu will fight to the end if he doesn't open a restaurant."
Tao Xing's face was angry, although the tone of his voice was very tough, but judging from the bulging green tendons that he held the kitchen knife tightly, he was very nervous in his heart.
Diao Lixin is Diao Sande's son, and Diao Sande is the owner of the Xinyue Hotel not far away, offending him is equivalent to offending the Diao family, and they still have the opportunity to beg for food.
However, the Buddha fights for a stick of incense, people live a breath of life, endure to the extreme, and the clay people also have three points of earthiness, Tao Xing is like this at the moment.
"Hahaha~"
Li Mu suddenly laughed wildly, and the three young men who followed him also showed disdainful smiles.
"Tao Xing, you are so bold, in East Street, you ask, who dares to fight?"
As the words fell, Li Mu raised his foot, grabbed the chair he was stepping on with one hand, and smashed it down fiercely.
"Bang~"
With a loud bang, the chair slammed on the table, and all the cups and dishes jumped up and fell to the ground and shattered.
"Come on, come on, why don't you fight for one~"
Li Mu stared at Tao Xing arrogantly, not taking him seriously at all.
Ye Shu on the other side was so frightened by this sudden scene that she trembled, and her pretty face turned pale with fright in an instant, and she couldn't say a word.
"You, you~"
Tao Xing's eyes widened and he raised the kitchen knife, but he didn't dare to approach.
"Brothers, smash it for me, let him see how our four wolves on East Street treat the protesters!"
Li Mu waved his hand and immediately ordered.
"Bang Bang Bang~"
In the next second, the other three suddenly moved, picked up their chairs and began to smash them all over.
"Lao Tzu fought with you!"
Tao Xing saw that his hard work for a long time had come to naught, his eyes were red, he picked up the kitchen knife and rushed towards Li Mu, and slashed it down unceremoniously.
"Click~"
Li Mu turned sideways to avoid the attack of the kitchen knife, Tao Xing's kitchen knife slashed into the table, stuck, and was nervous, but he didn't pull it out.
"Smack~"
But at this time, Li Mu raised his hand and slapped him, instantly fanning him out.
"Poof~"
Tao Xing fell to the ground and spat out a tooth with blood.
He was just an ordinary chef, how could he be these ruffian opponents who fought and killed, under a slap, he didn't dare to resist anymore.
"Brothers, smash!"
"Today, Lao Tzu wants this restaurant to completely disappear from East Street!"
Li Mu pulled out the kitchen knife stuck on the table, reached out and tried the blade, staring at Tao Xing lying on the ground with disdain.
"Bang Bang~"
After a few minutes, all the tables and chairs in the hall fell apart, and the three of them began to attack the box.
"Ah~"
After smashing several boxes in a row, when entering the sixth private room, several screams suddenly sounded.
"What's going on?"
Li Mu was stunned for a moment, and raised his eyes to look at the place where the screams came from.
But this sight frightened him, for he saw three figures thrown out of the door of the box, and fell heavily to the ground, smashing against the broken pieces of dishes, and scars appeared on their bodies.
"Who?"
Li Mu carried a kitchen knife and went straight to the sixth private room.
There was a young man sitting here, with his back to the door of the box, who seemed to be drinking tea, and did not even glance at his arrival.
"Boy, you are so bold that you dare to beat Diao Shao's subordinates?"
Li Mu didn't dare to act rashly for a while, after all, the other party could throw his three brothers out in an instant, he must not be a simple person.
"Diao Lixin, is it?"
The young man didn't turn around, and then said, "What should you do if you smash my restaurant?" ”
And this abrupt scene also frightened Ye Shu, wasn't it Lin Fan, the former young master of the Lin family, who was sitting in that box?
He, how could he be so powerful?
No wonder he said before that he came back this time to recover everything that the Lin family had lost before, could it be that he went to practice martial arts all these years when he was missing?
With huge doubts, Ye Shu picked up her husband Tao Xing, whose cheeks were already swollen, and the two looked at the door cautiously.
It just so happened that they also heard the words in the box, this restaurant was his Lin Fan's words, and after a short stunned, Ye Shu understood that the young master wanted to help them, so he made a move.
"What do you say? Is this restaurant yours? ”
Li Mu looked a little puzzled, and turned his head to look at Ye Shu and his wife who were standing in the corner.
"No, yes, this building is his, we're just part-time workers!"
Seeing this, Ye Shu hurriedly grabbed Tao Xing and spoke first.
Tao Xing was stunned for a moment, but looking at his wife's expression, he soon understood, and nodded again and again.
"Boy, even if it's your restaurant, you should follow the rules, and the protection fee and errand fee of the four wolves on East Street can't be less."
Li Mu was confirmed by the couple surnamed Tao, and it was a tacit acquiescence to the fact that the young man with his back to him was the owner of the restaurant, but one thing that could not be destroyed was the fee that must be paid every month.
"Are you also worthy of protecting Lao Tzu's restaurant?"
Lin Fan's faint voice sounded, the teacup in his hand was heavily placed on the table, and then he got up, turning around and staring at Li Mu expressionlessly.
"I~"
Li Mu was stared at by a pair of eyes as sharp as knives, and suddenly felt a feeling of being transferred into an ice cave, and swallowed his saliva before saying: "All shops on East Street are no exception. ”
"Really?"
The corners of the young man's mouth raised slightly, revealing a cruel smile, and when he passed by, he stepped on the orange-haired young man's hand.
"Click~"
As the sound of broken bones sounded, the screams were also recalled in the restaurant at the same time, which sounded very infiltrating.
"Brother Mu, help me, my foot is broken!"
The pleading voice of the orange-haired youth rang out.
Li Mu was also taken aback by this scene, and couldn't help but take a few steps back, staring cautiously at the young man who was walking slowly.
