Shen Mingzhu rushed to the noodle restaurant and saw that the restaurant was in a mess.

Broken bowls, noodle soup, and noodles that had solidified were scattered all over the floor, making it difficult to even get footed.

Five or six young people in society who are not easy to mess with at first glance, one by one, occupy several tables in the noodle restaurant, all with cigarettes in their mouths, and their posture is arrogant.

Outside the store, a few passers-by stopped to watch the excitement.

"Little sister, why are you here, Pei Yang?"

Seeing that Shen Mingzhu only brought Shen Hongmei behind him, Shen Chaobei hurriedly dragged Shen Mingzhu outside the noodle restaurant, as if he was afraid that Shen Mingzhu would be bullied by the gangsters in the store.

Shen Xiangnan and Qin Jinlian also ran out of the noodle shop and surrounded Shen Mingzhu, their faces full of panic.

"Mingzhu, you quickly think of a way, these people are beating and smashing, and they can't get rid of it, and they can't do business."

Shen Mingzhu ignored Qin Jinlian's words, turned his head and asked Shen Chaobei what was going on.

It all started the other day.

A few days ago, two of the gangsters came to the noodle restaurant to eat noodles, but they didn't pay for them, saying that they wanted to pay on credit.

Naturally, the two brothers disagreed, after all, they didn't know each other.

There was a quarrel between the two sides, Shen Chaobei and Shen Xiangnan were tall and strong, and the two gangsters did not take advantage of it, and left with a scolding and scolding.

Today, two thugs and a group of people came to the noodle shop to find fault.

Not only did he deliberately throw the guests away, but he also occupied the table and didn't let the brothers open, and it had been a mess all morning.

"Did you call the police?"

"It's reported, as soon as the police come, these people will leave, and when the police leave, these people will run back."

Shen Mingzhu turned her head and asked Shen Hongmei to call the police, and she was going to enter the noodle shop to meet this group of people.

The two brothers and Qin Jinlian both pulled her and didn't let her go.

"What can you do if you go, aren't you afraid of being beaten?"

"Little sister, don't go, these are not good people, they can do anything."

"Pei Yang, I have to let him come."

Three of you, one sentence and one sentence for me.

Shen Mingzhu said: "Pei Yang went to the countryside to harvest apples, and he has to come back in the evening." ”

Hearing this, the three of them all fell down like frosted eggplants.

"It's over, what can I do?"

Shen Mingzhu asked the sad-faced Qin Jinlian to wait outside the noodle shop, and she took the two brothers Shen Chaobei and Shen Xiangnan to negotiate with each other.

Seeing her, a group of thugs all had malicious smiles on their faces, and the gaze that fell on Shen Mingzhu was as sticky and disgusting as a slug.

In the sum of two lifetimes, Shen Mingzhu also faced such a scene for the first time, her scalp was a little numb, but she tried to maintain her composure on the surface.

"I don't know who the leading brother is?"

As her words fell, a young man with a flat head and a striking scar on the left side of his face knocked on the table, looking at Shen Mingzhu with a presumptuous gaze.

"Little old girl, do you have something to do with your brother?"

Shen Mingzhu raised his foot to walk towards the man, but was pulled by Shen Chaobei, "Little sister......"

"It's fine."

Shen Mingzhu motioned for Shen Chaobei and Shen Xiangnan to follow behind him with his eyes, and then raised his feet and approached the man.

"My surname is Shen, this noodle restaurant is opened by my eldest brother and second brother, I don't know my eldest brother's surname?"

Shen Mingzhu's humble attitude made the scar man very useful, "Cao Cao knows, right?" I'm a family with him. ”

"It turned out to be Brother Cao, disrespectful."

Shen Mingzhu said politely, turned his head and asked Shen Xiangnan to pour water for a few people.

"Brother Cao, my eldest brother and second brother have just come from the countryside, they have no education and no knowledge, and they accidentally offended Brother Cao, and I will compensate Brother Cao and your brothers on their behalf."

Cao Haigang's gaze swirled on Shen Mingzhu's white jade-like face, and his tone was frivolous, "Little old girl, do you have a partner?" Brother is very rare for you, as long as you follow your brother, you will be guaranteed to eat and drink spicy food. ”

Shen Mingzhu smiled back, "I am from the countryside, I married early, and my sons are six years old." ”

After speaking, he directly diverted the topic, "Brother Cao, I don't know what my eldest brother and second brother did wrong, which made your heart unhappy, you might as well talk about it, everything is easy to discuss." ”

"Okay, since you're so upright, then I'll say it straight."

Cao Haigang gestured two fingers, "From today onwards, you will give me two hundred yuan every month." ”

Shen Chaobei was anxious when he heard this, "Why do you want to give you money?" ”

Cao Haigang sneered, "Just because this piece is under my Cao Haigang's control, you might as well go out and inquire, who am my Cao Haigang!" ”

Rao was Shen Mingzhu mentally prepared, or was startled by Cao Haigang's lion mouth.

Although the noodle restaurant business is okay, the profit of getting up early and working in the dark for a month is only more than 200, and Cao Haigang wants 200 as soon as he opens his mouth, and he co-opens this noodle restaurant, all of which are helping Cao Haigang make money.

"Brother Cao, don't hide it, this noodle shop has been open for less than a month, and it hasn't earned two hundred in total, can you see if it can be less?"

"Less your mother!"

A thug beside Cao Haigang slapped the table and pointed at Shen Mingzhu viciously and threatened, "Stinky girl, don't be embarrassed, two hundred a month, don't think about it if you don't have a penny!" ”

At this time, a gangster sitting at the door reminded loudly: "Brother Cao, the public security is here." ”

Cao Haigang pointed his finger at Shen Mingzhu in the void, "Little old girl, I'll come over at twelve o'clock tomorrow at noon to collect the money, don't blame me for being unkind to you if you can't get the money." ”

After speaking, Cao Haigang led a group of subordinates away.

The police entered the noodle restaurant, saw that the three of them were fine, and left after asking a few words in a routine manner.

"Little sister, what should I do now?"

"Damn, let's fight with them!" Shen Xiangnan was very angry.

As soon as the words fell, Qin Jinlian punched him hard, "What are you talking about, stay aside!" ”

After scolding Shen Xiangnan, Qin Jinlian pulled Shen Mingzhu with a flattering face, "Mingzhu, hurry up and think of a way." Why don't you ask the Miss Zhong you know for help? Their family is rich and powerful, and it is definitely not a problem to deal with these scoundrels. ”

Shen Mingzhu ignored Qin Jinlian, turned his head and instructed the two Shen Chaobei brothers: "You clean up the store, I'll go out for a walk." ”

Walking out of the noodle shop, looking left and right, Shen Mingzhu went to the grocery store diagonally opposite and bought a pack of Yuxi.

After giving the money, Shen Mingzhu handed the cigarette to the boss.

Facing the boss's puzzled eyes, Shen Mingzhu smiled, "Boss, I'll ask you about something." ”

After coming out of the grocery store, Shen Mingzhu went to other shops on the same street to turn around before returning to the noodle restaurant.

"Pack your things and get ready to move out."

"What? Moved? Where to move? ”

"What are you talking about, your eldest brother and second brother have rented this store for a year, and the rent has been given, and now you are moving, what about the rent?"

Shen Mingzhu looked at the three members of the Shen family, "I just asked, all the shops on this street, except for those who are related to Cao Degang, the other shops have to pay protection money to Cao Haigang every month, and at least one hundred a month." ”

"In addition to the protection fee, Cao Haigang and his subordinates eat and take whatever they want on this street, and never give money."

"Doing business on this street and making money, it's all Cao Haigang's, and if you lose money, you have to pay this protection fee out of your own pocket."

The three of them were stunned by Shen Mingzhu's words.

"Then the police don't care?"
