Long Yumeng brought Ling Jie to the night market for barbecue last time, and he still remembers the delicious taste of barbecue. Good things must be shared with the brothers, so Ling Jie brought Mi Xiaobai and others to have barbecue. Besides,

, this food is delicious and so cheap, why not do it?

…

As soon as they arrived at the barbecue stall, Ling Jie and the other four were naturally greeted by the enthusiastic proprietress and sat down.

Then, Mi Xiaobai, Huanan, and Lako went to order food together.

…

Ling Jie took out his cell phone, checked the time, and then looked at the bustling night market.

This night market is located at the edge of the bridge beside the Hengjiang River.

The night market is more than 300 meters long and about 10 meters wide. Above the bridge is a 10-meter super track and light rail that were built in the past two years.

Listening to the sound of the train passing by on the bridge, Ling Jie was stunned for a moment and then smoked.

…

At this moment, a cry suddenly came, saying: "Uncle, please... just let us go! It's not easy for us to make some money...!"

Looking along the source of the sound, I saw a young woman kneeling at the stall not far away, and an old man over fifty years old was sitting next to her.

Ling Jie took a closer look and walked over with curiosity, intending to take a look at the excitement.

As Ling Jie approached, more and more people were watching the excitement.

The only passage in the middle of the night market was blocked, so many people had to stop and take the opportunity to watch the excitement.

"Forget it, I've been in this night market for so many years. If everyone is like you, do we have to eat anymore?!" The red-haired gangster standing in front of the street stall was very angry and punched loudly.

shouted.

"Brother, we really don't have any money to give you. Besides, we agreed to pay it every three months...! How can you go against your will? You have to be trustworthy...!" The young girl was very aggrieved.

The way.

"Get out of here, don't do this to me. Either pay or get out of here immediately!" The red-haired gangster was very angry and took out a cigarette to smoke. He originally wanted to hit someone, but seeing so many people here, he couldn't.

Didn't dare to take action.

It turns out that this gangster is responsible for the protection fee of Thiitiao Night Market.

To put it nicely, they charge management fees and are responsible for all operations of the night market in this area.

On the surface, they are in the name of the local government. In fact, they pay some money to the local department at one time and let them manage it. Some gangs just value the considerable profits. Like this... they can be found all over the country.

It’s not surprising that some gangs are operating secretly.

…

"But we have no money! How about you give me two days of grace? I'll definitely give it to you!" The old man next to him suddenly knelt down, kowtowed and begged for mercy.

"You big-headed devil!" The red-haired gangster kicked the old man and said: "Get out of here, you come here to do business without money? Are you looking for death?!"

After saying that, the red-haired gangster bent down and put away some trinkets on the cloth bag on the ground. After wrapping them, he turned around and drove away. He also left a sentence, saying: "Whenever I make up the money, I will return this garbage."

For you. Otherwise, don’t even think about it!”

"you……"

The old man was so angry that he fainted.

The young girl panicked, hugged her head and whined, saying: "Who are these people? Ruffians! Grandpa, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me...!"

Seeing the grandparent and granddaughter being bullied, many onlookers secretly shook their heads, wanting to help, but were so powerless. They all know that in today's world, being a good person may not necessarily lead to good rewards. For example, a while ago, the young man helped the old lady.

, as well as supporting a certain lame old man, and a disabled person begging for alms on the roadside... They were all bitten in return. There are still many good people in the world, but the forest is too big, and there are too many bad people, so everyone is scared.

.

…

Once the red-haired gangster left, the night market returned to normal.

Ling Jie didn't know where he went.

After Mi Xiaobai and Huanan ordered the barbecue, they looked everywhere but couldn't find Ling Jie.

…

At 7:20, at the corner of a certain alley.

"Boy, what do you want to do?" A red-haired man was holding something in his hand, trembling with fear.

"Give them back what you have in your hands, or I'll kill you, kid!" At the corner of the alley, the man wearing sunglasses gritted his teeth and said.

"Who are you? Do you know who I am? I'll scare you to death if I tell you!" The red-haired man looked disdainful, held his head high and was very confident.

He was also very puzzled, where did this kid come from? His tone was so naughty!

"Seeking death!" Following a shout, the man in sunglasses kicked the red-haired man.

It hit him in the abdomen, and a lot of bright red blood spurted out from the corner of his mouth.

At this time, the red-haired man was completely frightened, and he still said unconvinced: "You...who are you? Do you know who I am?"

Hearing this, the man in sunglasses sneered and said, "I don't need to know who you are, I only know that if you don't return the things, your life will be gone!"

After the words fell, the man in sunglasses pressed the call that had just been sent.

He didn't care who hit it, he just clicked it without looking.

"I'm a member of the Hutou Gang. If you try to touch me... I'll scare you to death!" The red-haired man also showed his trump card, which was a little too clever.

"Seeking death!" The man in sunglasses was about to kick him again.

At this moment, the red-haired man couldn't sit still anymore, knelt down and begged for mercy: "Master, don't kill me, I will return it to that old immortal. Please don't kill me, don't kill me..."

!”

The red-haired man suddenly made a 360-degree turn and quickly knelt down in front of the man in sunglasses, kowtowing continuously.

"Huh, I hope you can do what you say. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude. By the way, you can't treat ordinary people like that in the future, otherwise you will be in trouble." After the man in sunglasses finished speaking, he turned around and left without looking back.

go.

Looking at the back of the man in sunglasses and the cigarette butt that had just fallen, the red-haired man started to tremble again and quickly grabbed the cigarette butt to take a look.

Looking at the words on the cigarette butt, the red-haired man shivered.

Anyone who can afford to smoke this cigarette must be rich or noble. He knows very well what he should do. Otherwise, if he really follows the words of the man in sunglasses, his life will be in danger.

"Damn it, why am I so unlucky to meet such a person...!" The red-haired man slapped his face angrily and hurried back to the night market.

…

Night market, barbecue stall.

Seeing Ling Jie coming back, Mi Xiaobai quickly stood up from the chair and said, "Brother Jie, where did you go just now? Why didn't you see you? I thought you did this on purpose!"

Mi Xiaobai was joking.

"Ahem!" Ling Jie covered his mouth and coughed lightly, pulled up the chair and sat down, then said: "Get out of here, am I that kind of person? I just met an acquaintance and chatted a few more words. Why, are you still waiting for me?

?Let’s do it! These are all good things!”

After saying that, Ling Jie sat down and ate barbecue.

"Don't tell me...!" Mi Xiaobai also ate doubtfully.

I have to say, this barbecue stall tastes really good.

Mi Xiaobai has never had such delicious barbecue.

After finishing the barbecue on the table, he ordered more.

Ling Jie was secretly worried, would I cheat you? Good stuff, let’s share it with everyone!

…

"Grandpa, let's call the police!" The young girl sitting on the stool wiped away her tears, helped the old man up and said.

"Forget it, we can't fight these local snakes, so we can only go back to our hometown and let your grandma knit it all over again. Unfortunately, your living expenses this month...!" The old man said very worriedly.

…

"Yeah!" The girl who was just a second older was about to help the old man leave.

At this moment, the red-haired gangster from earlier ran back and said, "Stop!"

Seeing this, the grandfather and granddaughter pretended not to hear and wanted to leave quickly.

At this moment, the red-haired gangster suddenly knelt down and said: "Old man, please don't be angry with me. I was just playing a game with you just now. In this way, your protection fee will be paid for the next three months."

There is no need to hand it over. This is your goods, I will return them to you intact...!"

After saying that, the red-haired gangster trembled all over.

At this time, the grandfather and granddaughter were stunned. What happened? The local snake owed him a debt? His conscience discovered it? How is it possible? What is going on?
