Time goes back an hour ago.

Seeing that Ba Guan brought someone over to hand over the protection money, although Li Jiayuan was depressed, he also knew that there was no way to dodge, so he had to open the drawer and start sorting out his income.

"One hundred, two hundred, five hundred, eight hundred...... One thousand five hundred and sixty, one thousand five hundred and seventy ......"

After counting for a long time, Li Jiayuan found with a dull face that he only had a total of 1,570 yuan.

According to the previous rules, Ba Guan had to charge himself at least 2,000 yuan a month for protection!

"Forget it, I can only wait and plead for mercy to see if he can be accommodating this time in the face that I have always paid protection money on time in the past."

Li Jiayuan grabbed his hair and thought worriedly.

In this way, when Ba Guan came to his shop with his younger brothers, Li Jiayuan squeezed out a smile, took out a lot of fish balls that had just been fried and handed them to everyone: "Brother Ba Guan, Brother Curly Hair, Brother Big Mouth...... Come, eat fish balls."

Ba Guan and the others unceremoniously took the fish balls, and looked at Li Jiayuan while eating:

"What, boy, have you made a fortune this month?"

Li Jiayuan was taken aback, it would be miserable if this was misunderstood, and he hurriedly said, "No, compared with Brother Ba Shu, the younger brother can't even make a living."

"This month counts you as acquaintance."

Ba Guan finished eating the fish balls, threw the bamboo sticks on the ground, and said, "Bring 2,000 yuan."

"Ba Shut ......"

Li Jiayuan's face was full of flattering smiles: "My business is really a little bad this month, you see, can you be accommodating this time?"

As he spoke, he handed over all the 1,570 yuan and pleaded, "That's all my income, all for you, and I will make up the rest next month, okay?"

Ba Shu didn't answer, first took the money in Li Jiayuan's hand, handed it to his subordinates, and entered Li Jiayuan's store with a sneer: "You said your business is bad?"

"yes, business has been really bad this month."

Li Jiayuan hurriedly opened the drawer where he collected money, nodded and said, "Brother Ba Shu, you see, I really don't have a penny!"

Ba Shu looked at the clean drawer and "cut" disdainfully: "What are you doing, bluffing me? You hide the money, and then say that there is not a penny, and I want to believe it? When I'm an idiot!"

"No, Brother Bashu, how dare I lie to you?"

Li Jiayuan hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I really didn't make any money this month, otherwise I would definitely give enough money."

At this time, the younger brother also counted the money and said, "Boss, it's a total of 1,550."

Li Jiayuan's face changed, and he hurriedly said, "No, big brother, it's fifteen hundred and seventy, don't be mistaken."

"Huh?"

The little brother who counted the money's face changed, pointed at Li Jiayuan and scolded: "Hit the street, what do you mean, say that I am greedy for these twenty yuan, Cao Nima!"

Seeing that the other party insulted his parents, a touch of anger flashed in Li Jiayuan's eyes, but he still endured it, and said with a reluctant smile: "Yes, I'm sorry, big brother, I said it wrong, but it was really fifteen hundred and seventy......

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a wave of his hand, and said impatiently, "Whether it's one thousand five hundred and seven, or one thousand seven hundred and five, in short, you mean, you don't plan to give me two thousand, do you?"

"I didn't mean that."

Li Jiayuan's face changed, and he hurriedly said, "Brother Ba Shu, I said, I will definitely make up the money I owe next month, please be accommodating this month......

Bang!

Without waiting for Li Jiayuan to finish speaking, Ba Shu kicked on a table.

Crash!

The meat grinder on the table, as well as the fillings such as fish and pork, were all scattered on the floor.

Li Jiayuan was extremely distressed when he saw it, it was all money, but he didn't dare to show the anger in his heart at all, he just bent down and continued to plead: "Brother Ba Shu, my business this month is really bad, I really don't have any money for you..."

"Bad business?"

Ba Shu sneered, and then kicked the kitchen counter of the fried fish balls in front of him over, and shouted, "Don't do it if the business is bad

That's it!"

"Don't!"

Seeing that all the items on the kitchen table were scattered, Li Jiayuan couldn't help but scream angrily.

If the filling or something is still a small cost, the value of these utensils on the kitchen table is much higher, and once it is broken, it will cost at least a few hundred yuan to reconfigure.

"Don't?"

Ba Shu didn't mean to stop at all, looked at Li Jiayuan with a sneer, and at the same time waved his hand to the younger brothers, jokingly, "Smash me!" Smash them all!"

"Yes!"

The younger brothers under Ba Shu immediately pulled out baseball bats and other weapons from behind their backs and began to enter the store and smash around.

Tables, chairs, decorated ...... Everything they saw was shattered in an instant.

"No... No... Don't smash ... Don't smash ......."

Looking at this scene in front of him, Li Jiayuan's eyes were cracking, the blood in his brain was gurgling, so that he couldn't hear anything, his fists were clenched tightly, his whole body began to tremble, and his breathing was like an old cow.

This fish ball shop is a store he rented after selling all the valuable things in his family half a year ago, because after a preliminary investigation, he found that this kind of snack bar seems to sell only a few cents of a fish ball skewer, but the cost is very low, as long as the amount is increased, the money that can be earned in a month is not less than that of those white-collar employees.

However, he thought about a lot of things, but he didn't expect to offend Ba Guan when he paid the protection fee, so he was targeted by him, and he first drew 2,000 yuan of profit every month - this figure made him almost useless in the past half a year!

At this point,

Ba shut up their smashing behavior, and completely destroyed all his hard work!

Seeing that Ba Guan and the others were smashing more and more, and even laughing at him loudly while smashing, the anger in Li Jiayuan's mind was also spreading, gradually devouring his reason.

However, what little reason he had left told him that he couldn't resist, because once he resisted, all that awaited him was a violent beating, and nothing else could be solved except for paying more medical bills!

Alarm?

Don't make a fuss, if the police are useful, where do these associations on Hong Kong Island come from?

You even have to pay the police before they decide whether to file a case or not!

At this moment,

As if sensing Li Jiayuan's anger, he came to him with his nostrils closed and asked sarcastically, "What, boy, you seem to be very unconvinced, huh?"

"No... No, Bashanggo."

Li Jiayuan tried his best to suppress his anger while trying to squeeze out a flattering smile, which made the expression on his face distorted: "I know, it's because I didn't pay enough, I ...... I don't blame you."

In the end, he almost gritted his teeth before he spat out the last few words.

"Hahaha!"

Seeing that Li Jiayuan was obviously extremely angry, but he didn't dare to say a word, Ba Shu laughed wildly, and then his face sank suddenly, and he slapped Li Jiayuan's cheek with his hand, and said gloomily: "Boy, remember, I, Ba Shu, is the boss of this street, as long as you are here for a day, you have to listen to me obediently, if I let you go east, you have to go east, let you go west, you have to go west-understand?"

"I... I understand."

Li Jiayuan lowered his head, not letting Ba Shu see the hatred in his eyes that was almost substantial.

However, Ba Shu didn't realize it, pinched Li Jiayuan's chin and forced him to raise his head, and sneered: "Come, look into my eyes and say to me: I'm sorry, Brother Ba Shu, I was wrong, I was wrong-Read!"

Li Jiayuan's body trembled, his eyes instantly turned scarlet, and an extreme sense of humiliation rose from his heart.

What's wrong with me!

Why should I admit my mistake to you!

"Why are you not convinced, you want to hit me?"

He laughed, then leaned his cheek to it, pointed and said, "Come, boy, if you have a kind of thing, you can hit it, follow this, and use it harder."

"I ......"

Being so humiliated by Ba Shu, Li Jiayuan only felt that his body was extremely hot, and he was extremely angry

The humiliation made him almost unable to control his body, and from the depths of his throat came a hoarse voice like a wounded beast:

"Brother Ba, don't force me to ......."

"What, what did you say, me? Forcing you?"

Ba Shu stretched out his hands and looked at the little brothers around him, as if he heard some big joke: "Hey, did you hear it, he just said, I forced him?"

"Hahaha!"

"Boy, you're a send-or-miss."

"Dare to talk to Brother Ba Shu like this, look for death!"

"If you know each other, hurry up and admit your mistake to Brother Ba Shu."

"If you dare to be so crazy, be careful that Lao Tzu beats you up, and your mother doesn't even know you!"

Listening to the humiliation of the minions, Li Jiayuan's brain was instantly congested, and the anger that had been suppressed for half a year could no longer be held back, and he let out a roar like a trapped beast:

"Y-scum!"

As he spoke, his right fist was quickly swung out, and with all the anger, it hit Ba Shu's face hard!

Bang!

Ba Shu didn't expect Li Jiayuan to really dare to hit himself, he didn't notice it for a while, and he was beaten to the ground and staggered back a few steps, opened his mouth, and spit out a bloody tooth.

The little minions next to him were also taken aback by this scene, but they didn't expect that Li Jiayuan, who looked honest and harmless, really dared to make a move, and they were all stunned for a while.

Even Li Jiayuan himself was a little stunned after punching this punch.

He panted and looked at his right hand, his eyes full of disbelief:

"I really did it just now, and I slammed it off?"

But the skin on his knuckles that had been scratched by the touch of his cheek, and the slightest pain, really told him that he had really slapped his face.

"I slammed my jaw shut...... The boss of this street ......"

As soon as I thought of this, I thought of the murderous appearance of Ba Shu and the others slashing people with knives on the street, and the courage and anger that I had just summoned dissipated in an instant, and I stammered, "Ba... I'm sorry, I'm... I didn't mean to......"

Before he finished speaking, Ba Shu, who had already recovered his senses, kicked him in the lower abdomen and knocked him to the ground.

"***! Dare to beat Lao Tzu! Beat! me hard!"

While rubbing his cheeks, Ba Shu waved his hand and said to the younger brothers, "If you don't subdue him today, Lao Tzu will have his surname!"

"Yes!"

All the younger brothers began to punch and kick Li Jiayuan who fell to the ground.

This time

Knowing that he had completely offended Ba Shu, even if it was useless to beg for mercy, Li Jiayuan didn't speak again, but just covered the back of his head with his hands, curled up his body as much as possible to protect his vital points, and at the same time secretly begged Ba Shu to dissipate his anger quickly.

however

He obviously underestimated Ba Shu's temperament, and also underestimated the ruthlessness of these gang members-

After only two minutes, he felt pain everywhere in his body, blood began to overflow from his nose, and his internal organs seemed to be displaced.

But even so, the beating showed no sign of ending.

"If this continues, I'll be beaten to death!"

As soon as he thought of this, Li Jiayuan felt a huge panic in his heart, and wanted to struggle to get up and run away, but as soon as he wanted to exert himself, he was horrified to find that he didn't even need a trace of strength.

"Isn't it...... Am I going to die here today? Beaten to death by a bunch of thugs?"

A huge sorrow welled up in Li Jiayuan's heart.

"I haven't lived long enough..."

"I also want to earn money, marry a beautiful wife, and have a pair of children with her..."

"I want to travel the world..."

meanwhile

For some reason, the immature face of Lu Qing, who had just invited him to join the Green Gang, suddenly appeared in his mind.

"When he comes back to me, he finds that I'm dead, I don't know what I'll think, maybe he will laugh at me for not joining the club sooner."

As soon as I think of this,

He couldn't help but feel a sense of remorse in his heart:

"If I knew these gang members were so arrogant, I should have joined a gang a long time ago...... Even a middle school student can see it, I actually died until I finally thought clearly, Li Jiayuan, you are really inferior...... It's a pity that it's too late to say anything now......

Just when he was in despair, waiting for death to come,

I heard a familiar explosion suddenly coming from outside the door:

"Stop it!"
